This week has gone trailer crazy. We’re thinking of doing a round up of trailers for the week so far over the weekend because neither Jon nor I can think of a week in our huge 18 month history (!) when we’ve had so many! Here’s yet another for a movie called Diary Of A [...]
Playing at the LA Film Festival this week is writer/director Adam Reid’s Hello Lonesome and the attached trailer and poster are worth the post on their own. And there’s an excellent chance we here in the UK will only get to see this one on DVD there’s no harm in helping what looks to be [...]
The Asylum are the purveyors of some ‘quality’ exploitative features. The makers of The 18-Year Old Virgin, The Day the Earth Stopped, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, The Terminators, Snakes on a Train, Mega Piranha and the forthcoming Titantic 2, to name just a few, The Asylum are set to release a new film that focuses on the [...]
Another lovely day in Edinburgh! The sun shone and it was a great day for catching up with Fest-friends. Though I missed it, the Donkeys press screening was a massive hit this morning. One to look out for this festival, it seems. My first screening was Jackboots on Whitehall, a comedy with war puppeteering, star [...]
Over the last week or so, we’ve seen yet more casting rumours for the third installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series. Most recently, we’ve heard that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is being primed to take on the part of The Riddler, based on as little as a supposed conversation on the set of Inception between Levitt and [...]

Bridesmaids is set to be released on the 13th of May next year and comes from Judd Apatow’s seemingly unstoppable Apatow Productions. Lucas joins a large cast that already includes Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne, Ellie Kemper, Maya Rudolph, Jill [...]
Middle Men was picked up in February by Paramount following some positive early festival reviews and now we have the first official trailer. The film tells the semi-true story of how porn became a thriving business on the internet. The film’s main star is Luke Wilson as the businessman Jack Harris, who helps Wayne (Giovanni Ribisi) and Buck (Gabriel [...]
Though somewhat inevitable the news that the UK government have elected to cut their funding for the BFI’s new Film Centre on London’s South Bank is still depressing. Previous PM Gordon Brown, perhaps knowing his number was up, announced that the government was to give £45m to the BFI to aid their building a 5 [...]
Please Give will very likely be placed in competition with its UK box office companion, Noah Baumbach’s Greenberg, and may suffer the same reduction that film did – here we have a film concerning wealthy white people looking inwardly for validation, with not much actually happening. It’s an unfair reduction, but one which writer/director Nicole [...]
With Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist kicking off the Edinburgh Film Festival this year, it is no surprise that the team behind one of the biggest film festivals in the UK have chosen an animated film with an abundance of style and character from the director who brought us Les triplettes de Belleville. The story is [...]
Five cool posters for the upcoming Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade and Rob Schneider comedy ‘Grown Ups’ have been brought to us from Filmofilia. It shows each of the five main comedian actors as young kids and these kind of gimmicks always bring a nice charm to productions. Grown Ups is directed [...]
The first poster for what should be a cracking film from David Fincher called The Social Network has been released. Based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires which is about the creation of Facebook, it stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) as Mark Zuckerberg who created Facebook, Justin Timberlake (Southland Tales) as Sean Parker who was Facebook’s founding [...]

Man of the moment Bradley Cooper, or ‘Face’ as he may now be known, has signed onto an as yet untitled Disney comedy-drama about a man who gets injured playing baseball and from what we gather, the movies sees him getting fit again. THR have broken the news that the movie will have similar themes [...]
Pleasing news coming from theonering.net who always seem to deliver reliable Tolkien Film related stories who say that Neill Blomkamp is being lined up to direct the Hobbit. It is a pretty obvious choice and one I’ve not even thought about but considering the relationship between Blomkamp and Peter Jackson it would be a very [...]
While we were sleeping, news came out of a second trailer (first here) for George Clooney’s new movie, The American. We put up the new poster for the movie yesterday too so it looks like the marketing machine at Focus Features is working overtime. The movie stars George Clooney, Anne Carey, Jill Green, Grant Heslov, [...]
The big news a few weeks ago was the departure of Megan Fox from the Transformers franchise. At first she was pushed, then her ‘people’ claimed she did, in fact, jump. So which is it? And what does it mean, if anything, for the success of Transformers 3? Paramount’s official line was that Fox’s option [...]
