To celebrate the hotly anticipated release of One Day, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, in cinemas AUGUST 24, we have 10 x One Day books to give away! Directed by Lone Scherfig (director of An Education, Academy Award-nominated for Best Picture), the motion picture One Day is adapted for the screen by David Nicholls [...]
Artificial Eye have released two new UK quads for We Need to Talk About Kevin, a chilling adaptation of Lionel Shriver’s heavily praised novel. Written and directed by Lynne Ramsay (Ratcher), We Need to Talk About Kevin stars Tilda Swinton (I Am Love), Ezra Miller (City Island) and John C. Reilly (Cyrus). The mother (Swinton) [...]
It’s 6am on Friday 12th, and I’m putting on my volunteer’s t-shirt in preparation for Empire’s first comic-con style event. After applying for the position to work as a volunteer at the Empire Big Screen via my university, I soon heard back saying I had the position over the whole weekend. During the confirmation phone [...]
The TIFF website have released the first images from the new Mary Harron movie called The Moth Diaries. It stars Lily Cole, Sarah Gadon, Sarah Bolger, Judy Parfitt, Scott Speedman and will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Acclaimed director Mary Harron returns to the Festival with this chilling and evocative vampire tale set at [...]
When the post production crew of Paul W. S. Anderson’s new adventure flick The Three Musketeers went to choose an ending title track for their film, they undoubtedly could have gone in quite a few directions. They were in need of a sort of wistful pop ballad, and quite frankly, there are few artists out [...]
After first hearing about 50/50, I initially thought that it would be too similar a film to Judd Apatow’s Funny People to stand as its own film, especially given that Seth Rogen stars in both. But when the first trailer arrived back in May, it was immediately apparent how different the films would be, and [...]
So much footage and photos has been coming from the set of The Dark Knight Rises over the past few weeks, and I’ve intentionally avoided some of it to keep plenty of surprises for when the film is actually released on 20th July next year. This new footage was too tempting to resist though, with [...]
After the extraordinary success of Man on Wire, Academy Award winning director James Marsh returns to documentary filmmaking with Project Nim: an insightful account of a chimpanzee’s experimental life in the 1970′s. In more depth, Project Nim documents the life of Nim Chimpsky: a chimpanzee taken from his mother shortly after birth by one Herb Terrace. Nim [...]
As much as we’re risking a psych evaluation with admitting this, we gamers don’t half tend to like shooting big explosivey guns at faceless mercenary goons. And you know what’s even better? Doing it with friends. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is unsurprisingly capitalising on the appeal with the newly released, and bullet-riddled trailer [...]
It seems almost a cliche at this point to reference out how many films Donnie Yen is making right now and it’s also hard to avoid the phrase ‘churning out’ too. This observation is so prevalent because of the reasonably high number of films Yen has made in recent years and the amount of physical exertion [...]
Irish actor Chris O’Dowd has seen his Hollywood stock rise considerably since his winning turn in this summer’s much-praised comedy hit, Bridesmaids. He’s turning his attention towards a considerably different milieu for his next role, however. According to Screen Daily, he’s been cast in an Australian feature called The Sapphires. Inspired by the true-life tale [...]
In the film’s production notes, Danish director Susanne Bier of this year’s Oscar and Golden Globe-winning foreign-language film, In A Better World, has some stark words, which with the current unrest in the UK, bring even more poignancy to her new theatrical release: “Are we immune to chaos, or obliviously teetering on the verge of [...]
Earlier this month we were given the opportunity to head on down to the press launch of Deux Ex: Human Revolution. Our review is coming soon, but in the meantime, here’s a very snazzy look at a ‘Making Of’ featurette for the game. For those unfamiliar for the universe, this will give you a brief [...]
One of the highlights of Empire’s Big Screen this past weekend was the chance to see a little more of the Star Wars Blu-ray box set and to talk with two of the ILM crew that worked on the films as well as sit down with perhaps the longest serving ambassador for all things Star [...]
J. Edgar is one of the year’s most highly anticipated films, expected by many to be going to the Oscars early next year with a fair few nominations. After months of waiting with just a few photos from the set, we’ve finally got our first official look at Leonardo DiCaprio in the eponymous role, courtesy [...]
Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves – they are all very much back in vogue, on small and big screens. Twilight, True Blood and of course The Walking Dead. Its first season was undoubtedly a slow-burn affair, but even in six short episodes it managed to establish convincing characterisations and story arcs, packing the sort of emotional heft [...]
Ron Howard may be having trouble trying to get his long-in-gestation adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower off the ground, but it’s not enough to deter two equally high-profile filmmakers who are now making plans to bring a couple of titles from the author (one new, one old) to the big screen. Firstly, director [...]
TIFF have released images another movie playing at the festival, 360. It’s directed by Fernando Meirelles and stars Rachel Weisz, Jude Law, Anthony Hopkins, Ben Foster and Jamel Debbouze. They also give us the first synopsis: Director Fernando Meirelles (City of God) reunites with his Constant Gardener star Rachel Weisz, who stars opposite Jude Law, Anthony [...]
During the Momentum panel, at Big Screen, Jon and I were discussing how we think Jason Statham should become the first actor ever to simply play the same character in every single movie he does. Maybe his style could change a tiny bit to fit the role but he should simply have the same name [...]
The TIFF website have released the first look images from Freida Pinto’s new movie, Trishna which is directed by Michael Winterbottom and also stars Riz Ahmed who we saw recently in the fantastic Four Lions. Self-effacing British auteur Michael Winterbottom sets his unique spin on Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles against a contemporary Indian backdrop. [...]
