t’s shaping up to be a big year for Miles Teller, whose latest movie
Whiplash
arrives on
DVD and Blu-ray on February 26. In it, Miles Teller plays a promising young drummer at a
prestigious but cutthroat music conservatory, who falls under the influence of a volatile,
larger than life instructor, played by J.K. Simmons.
Whiplash
has received five Oscar nominations,
including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for J.K. Simmons.
On top of that, the 27-year-old Teller is reuniting with Shailene Woodley for the eagerly anticipated
Divergent
sequel
Insurgent
– due to open in cinemas on March 19. And like
virtually any hot young Hollywood actor, Teller has been drafted for a role in a
feature Marvel production – in his case playing Mr. Fantastic in the reboot of
The Fantastic Four
. Directed by Josh Trank (
Chronicle
) and co-starring Kate
Mara, Jamie Bell, and Michael B. Jordan, it’s due in cinemas in August.
We’ll definitely have lots more on
Whiplash
in the next issue of

xpect to see plenty of Mark Wahlberg in
2015, both as himself and in an eclectic
line-up of new films.
February 2nd sees the DVD release of the first
season of his family reality show
Wahlburgers
,
which follows the personal and professional life
of his brother Paul as he seeks to expand his
hamburger restaurant business.
Wahlberg will also play himself in the big
screen version of
Entourage
, which is expected
in cinemas in June. The HBO hit, which ran for
eight seasons, was loosely based on the star’s
own experiences and he served as executive
producer, as well as making the odd cameo
appearance.
However, he will next be seen in
The Gambler
,
a remake of 1974 drama starring James Caan
about a literary professor whose life spirals out
of control because of his gambling addiction. It is
expected here in March and will be followed in
June by
Ted 2
, the sequel to Seth MacFarlane’s
2012 comedy smash.
Further down the line, Wahlberg will
reportedly play Steve Austin in the big screen
version of the ‘70s TV favourite
The Six Million
Dollar Man,
and is also attached to a movie set
against the backdrop of the Deepwater.

She was the best thing in
300: Rise of

in the dramatic arts, Eva Green boasts
sophistry and chameleon qualities that few
other actresses possess. It’s no wonder Tim
