Back in April the animated comedy Rio hit UK cinemas and is the story about a blue macaw, appropriately called Blu and voiced by Jesse Eisenberg, who is taken from the rainforest by poachers but accidentally marooned in snowy Minnesota and raised by Linda (Leslie Mann) as she grows from small girl to small town bookshop [...]
One of the most striking things about Tintin is the quality of the animation. While I found the character design somewhat cold and distant, everything else was rather impressive, so when I recently had the chance to talk to the film’s VFX supervisor Joe Letteri, I wanted to understand why things like the character movement [...]
In my opinion the more Dr. Seuss there is in the world the better we are for it, and this new trailer for The Lorax gives a quirky twist to the usual hyper saturated colourama of CG animated features. Based on the Dr. Seuss’ children’s book of the same name, The Lorax is directed by Chris Renaud [...]
The BBC have a series coming up which I have been excited about since I first heard about it a year or two ago. It’s called Life’s Too Short and sees Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant team together with Warwick Davis (who we interviewed last week here) for a new comedy show based around the [...]
Fans of the Jurassic Park trilogy will already be glued to their newly released Blu-ray boxset and following our interview with Ariana Richards at the start of the week we’ve got another interview with someone who, less directly, was also partially responsible for the films. Filmbeat travelled to Montana to speak with the man who [...]
Last week, I got to chat with writer of The The Ides of March, Beau Willimon and one of the cast members, Evan Rachel Wood about playing the role of Molly Stearns in the movie which is released tomorrow, Friday 28th October. I’ve broken the two interviews and if you missed my interview with Beau, [...]
Titan Publishing have sent us these rather amazing new images from their new book, Harry Potter Page to Screen – The Complete Filmmaking Journey which is on sale now and you can order your copy here. The book is packed to the brim with images from the movies and we’ve got a fair few of [...]
Here’s one for Orange customers and information on how you can get the Orange Film to Go this week. Every week, Orange will be doing their Film Night Live which is an online web streaming Q&A to coincide with the movie that they are giving away for nothing (I can’t use the word ‘free’ but [...]
HeyUGuys is very proud to be partnering with Cinémoi for our coverage of the Doha Tribeca Film Festival. Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Black Gold had its world premiere at the festival and Julien Planté brings us his review. ————– Rather prophetically, Black Gold opens with the line “Tears are a waste of water”; a great quote for [...]
By now, everyone is well aware of the next upcoming superhero film from Marvel, The Avengers, with the ridiculously awesome trailer landing earlier this month. Joss Whedon landing the directing gig was a welcome surprise to all of his many, many fans, and it’s been good to see Marvel finding slightly unlikely candidates to take [...]
We’ve just been sent the winners list for The BFI London Film Festival 2011 and massive congrats to We Need to Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay and all her cast and crew for winning the award. I’ll just make this post about the winners but I’m sure we’ll do a reaction post imminently. So [...]
Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive is by far my favourite film of the year. By so far. It very much deservedly won him the Best Director Award when it debuted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival back in May. And, in my opinion, it is quite simply one of the most awesome and coolest movies ever [...]
Karl Urban (Star Trek), Ben Barnes (Stardust) and Emilia Clarke (Games of Thrones) are in talks to star in action pic Overdrive. Overdrive centres on two adventurous siblings who find more trouble than they are looking for in the South of France. Antonio Negret (Seconds Apart) is attached to direct from a script by screenwriters Derek Haas and Michael Brandt. [...]
Back in July, we reported that Ron Howard’s epic vision for his adaptation of Stephen King’s seven-novel The Dark Tower series had collapsed when Universal pulled out of financing the project. Howard had planned for the adaptation to be made through the mediums of both film and television, with his vision including a trilogy of [...]
This Friday, we’re going to get to see 20 minutes of Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, tomorrow the trailer comes out and today, ahead of both these treats, MSN have released this new featurette from the movie focusing on the stunts that Ethan Hunt himself, Tom Cruise carried out on the tallest building in the world [...]
The third film in the very popular horror franchise, Paranormal Activity 3, was released over the weekend here, in the States, and in more than two dozen other countries across the world, and it has been even better than anticipated. In the States, Deadline report that the film has done incredibly well, taking the #1 [...]
We had a moment of panic in the HeyUGuys Bunker recently. While we were all really excited for release of The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, none of us were what you would call Tintin experts. We could go on at length about motion capture, computer animation and 3D, but our Tintin knowledge [...]
Snaps of Scarlett Johansson have surfaced for a role which sees her use her female wiles in an altogether otherworldly premise. In what sounds like a reworking of mid-nineties schlocky sci-fi/horror Species, The Avengers star is an extra terrestrial who takes the form of a beautiful woman as a cunning ruse to entrap human prey. [...]
Casting news should always be taken with a pinch of salt when in relation to Warner Bros’ Akira remake – Leonardo DiCaprio, Zac Efron and Morgan Freeman have previously been linked to the project to little effect – so don’t get all riled up just yet, but Gary Oldman and Helena Bonham Carter have allegedly been offered roles [...]
Back in 1996, a film was having a tough time getting off the ground with its controversial content and casting problems with the star, Richard Gere, ready to walk away from the project. A young, unknown actor came in, stuttering like the character, read for and won the role beating over two thousand other hopefuls, [...]
