Part of the reason that I write about movies today is because of my Dad and the many times he would take the family to the cinema when we were young, with Return of the Jedi being one of the first movie going experiences I can remember. His own love for cinema inspired mine, and [...]
Sony Pictures have released this first new trailer for their new movie, Premium Rush which has Joseph Gordon-Levitt, riding around on his courier bike in New York before he takes on a delivery that he probably wishes he hadn’t! The movie is directed by David Koepp who has previously brought us Stir of Echos and [...]

If you haven’t already entered, we also have the chance for you to [...]
And so it had come to this. Wearily yet with the obligatory expectation and excitement inherent in any new Star Wars film we walked into the cinema for the final chapter of the saga to find out if the years of hope, which previously had given way to disappointment, would be worth it. I sat [...]
Well this is a some flipping good news! I’m pretty sure that the makers of Senna (that would be writer – Manish Pandey, Director – Asif Kapadia & Producers Tim Bevan, Liza Chasi, Eric Fellner and James Gay-Rees) had no idea whatsoever that the movie they have created would become such a massive hit picking [...]
We’ve had a brilliant week filled with Star Wars-related goodness (which you can catch up on here) celebrating the release of Star Wars on Blu-Ray for the first time on Monday. Now that we’ve had our week, it’s time for America to have theirs, with the box set coming out there today, and Collider report [...]
51 is a new science fiction feature from the After Dark Originals brand, coming to DVD & Blu-ray 26 September, and to mark the release we have 3 Blu-Rays to give away! Due to political pressure from the American public, the Air Force has decided to allow two well-known reporters limited access to the most [...]
As part of HeyUGuys’ Star Wars celebrations I’d like to present you all with what I believe is a HUG first … a spot of poetry! But first, some context … It was back in the halcyon days of Summer 2008 when I wrote the following poem as a result of an afternoon spent tidying [...]
Yesterday I awoke to a press release telling me that the BT Tower was going to be turned into a Lightsaber (and last night it came true) and this morning I get news that one of my childhood heroes, Postman Pat is going to get his own feature film! There’s a full press release from [...]
Director David Mackenzie (Young Adam, Spread) has two very different love story films coming out in the next month, the festival-set You Instead and the pandemic-apocalyptic Perfect Sense. A brilliant new trailer for the latter has now arrived, courtesy of Empire, and it gives us a lovely look at the budding romance between Ewan McGregor’s Michael, a [...]
Yesterday we posted the news that the BT Tower was to be turned into the biggest lightsaber of all-time and we were inundated with tweets from people asking if this was a joke! I’m pleased to inform you that not only did it actually happen, but we were there to capture the event in all [...]
IFC Films has acquired the North American and Latin American distribution rights to indie-comedy Your Sister’s Sister. Directed by Lynn Shelton (Humpday), Your Sister’s Sister stars Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada), Rosemarie DeWitt (Rachel Getting Married), Mark Duplass (Cyrus) and Mike Birbiglia (Cedar Rapids). A year after his brother’s death, Jack (Duplass) still see-saws between emotionally wobbly and outright volatile. When he makes [...]
Writer-director Rodrigo Cortés put himself on the map last year with Buried, trapping Ryan Reynolds in a box for ninety minutes and managing to keep it utterly engrossing from start to finish, and making almost $20m. at the box office from less than a $2m. budget. His new film, Red Lights, has a sense of [...]
Ron Howard has got to be one of the busiest directors working in Hollywood at the moment, with a list of upcoming credits that’s only getting larger. His passion project, The Dark Tower, may have lost its footing in recent months, but he’s currently attached to direct a film adaptation of TV series Spy vs. [...]
You’ve got to love a good gag reel where you get to see the actors let loose a little on set and how they react when they mess up their lines! To celebrate the release of Warehouse 13 Season 2 on DVD 19th September, Universal Playback have given us the gag reel from the DVD [...]
After months of speculation, JJ Abrams has finally gone ahead and confirmed what we were all expecting anyway: he’s going to direct Star Trek XII. Or II. Whatever it’s going to be called, he’s directing it. Despite the phenomenal success of 2009’s critically acclaimed reboot the Star Trek sequel has faced a number of delays, [...]
Choosing to follow an Oscar nominated and then an Oscar winning turn with a relatively small role as part of an ensemble cast featuring some of the most illustrious British actors is testament to the pull of the big screen adaptation of John Le Carre’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Colin Firth plays his part [...]
Given that the only marketing this film needs is someone saying the word ‘Muppets’ over and over again it is so nice to see some more of the genuinely funny marketing for the film. The latest parody trailer for the return of Kermit & Co. has been delivered by the hand of the film’s Facebook [...]
Following on from the nice first trailer from The Hunger Games, Lionsate have just sent over this behind the scenes image which shows Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen on the set of the movie. We’ve become very familiar with Lawrence in this raincoat as most of the PR seems to have focused around her in [...]
As I’m sure is the case with many people of my age (late twenties) Star Wars played a huge part in my childhood. I remember with great fondness watching the original trilogy on VHS on an almost weekly basis as well as the original animated series and spin offs such as the Ewoks movie Caravan [...]
