@HeyUGUysLive was at the UK premiere of ‘Real Steel’ at the Empire Leicester Square last night. There was also some fella there called Hugh Jackman. HUGE Jackman!! ‘Real Steel’ is based on the short story penned by Richard ‘I am Legend’ Matheson and tells a tale set in 2020 of a ‘down-and-out’ boxer named Charlie [...]
Everyone here at HeyUGuys has a skill. Mine (I think!?) is bringing people together, networking, general managing of the site and doing the odd bit of news. One thing I very much struggle with is writing reviews. I can go into a cinema and say I like a movie or don’t like a movie but [...]
Tomas Alfredson’s adaptation of John Le Carre’s celebrated novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a captivating piece of restrained direction and impeccable work from its ensemble cast – rarely has a film made good on its promise in quite this way. It is primarily the story of the hunt for a mole within the Secret [...]
As I found myself sitting down to watch Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones for the first time in years, a familiar feeling washed over me. I grew up with Star Wars you see; Return of the Jedi was one of the very first films I saw at the cinema and it still [...]
**Update – Photos and footage from the event now live here*** I may be pre-empting things but this could well go down as one of the all-time great publicity stunts! This evening, Anthony Daniels who played C-3PO in all six Star Wars movies, will press the button at 8pm converting London’s iconic BT Tower into [...]
Over the past few months, we here at HeyUGuys have offered up a number of arguments in defense of underestimated filmmakers, their flawed films and the trends that haunt Hollywood even to this day. Never, however, has a property been more deserving of a rebuttal than George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy – an alleged [...]

The movie hits UK cinemas 13th January and US cinemas on Christmas day. Synopsis: The DARKEST [...]
My interest was sparked in Nick Murphy’s film the second I heard writer Stephen Volk had a new ghost story to tell, and today we finally have the chance to see a trailer for The Awakening. What this first glimpse does is give a decent indication of the characters and their motives and agendas, as [...]
The title of this clip says it all. Here is a nice new clip from Dreamworks’ new movie, Real Steel which hits UK cinemas 7th October. In the clip, we get to see two of the robots in the movie go heasd to head in a fight for their lives. Those two robots are Noisey [...]
Chloë Moretz made a real name for herself last year when Matthew Vaughn’s adaptation of Mark Millar’s comic book series, Kick-Ass, came out on the big screen. Since then, there’s been a lot of talk about the possibility of a sequel, and in a new interview Moretz has done with Movies.com, courtesy of Comic Book [...]
Billed as a political thriller in tights Roland Emmerich is taking a step back from blowing up worlds to blowing our minds as he sets out the premise that Shakespeare not only never wrote any of the plays credited to him, but also never existed. Blimey. Anonymous has an exceptional cast in Rhys Ifans, Xavier [...]
20th Century Fox have released the first trailer and poster for We Bought a Zoo. Directed by Cameron Crowe (Elizabethtown), We Bought a Zoo is based on Benjamin Mee’s memoir and stars Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Elle Fanning, Thomas Haden Church, Patrick Fugit and John Michael Higgins. Synopsis: This holiday season, acclaimed filmmaker Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost [...]

Ahead of the 24th October first-time Blu-ray Jurassic Park Ultimate Trilogy release (pre-order your copy here), the film that started it all is heading [...]
We saw the first trailer and poster for one of Alexander Payne’s next directorial effort, The Descendants, back in May, and they were both absolutely fantastic. Then last week we got the first clip from the film, in which George Clooney met his daughter’s boyfriend for the first time, and this has now been followed up [...]
Last night saw the ‘Hotly-Tipped-For-Oscar-Glory’ film version of the John le Carre’s book ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’ premiere at the BFI Southbank. We were there on twitter @HeyUGuysLive to keep yawl’ updated in real time as the action happened. Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch and John Hurt, who all star in the [...]
This may be an exercise in futility, or at least an attempt to distill down a real wealth of material into a fairly artificial concept, however in honour of the Star Wars franchise finally making its way onto Blu-ray, here are my considered nominations for the best set pieces, one per film, of the whole [...]
The long awaited big screen adaptation of John Le Carre’s seminal spy novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is released in UK cinemas this Friday, the 16th of September. What is initially apparent, and something which features heavily in the film’s marketing, is the film’s impressive cast but film is first and foremost a collaborative process [...]
I guess like many people of my age Mark Hamill has been an almost mythical figure to me in that he played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, the film that virtually every boy I knew of my age wanted to see. It was the film that saw my 12 year-old self in a queue outside [...]
The casting so far for Quentin Tarantino’s seventh feature film, Django Unchained, has been pretty excellent so far, with Jamie Foxx taking the titular role and Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner, and Christoph Waltz also cast. Until now, Samuel L. Jackson (the L. stands for Awesome) has only been rumoured to be a part of the [...]
The trailer looked good enough but my expectations has been set fairly low by early comments about 30 Minutes or Less, but I am happy to report I completely disagreed with them. Although admittedly not the best comedy of the summer, it will surpass your expectations and be exactly what it’s advertised as; Jesse Eisenberg [...]
