In addition to scribbling barely comprehensible copy for HeyUGuys, Ben has spent several years working in low budget film. One might imagine this has given him an insight into the production process - instead it has made him bitter, twisted and convinced of his own superiority. His life ambition is to run Disney.

Those of us who write about movies are well known for our use of hyperbole, so I’ll phrase the next sentence very carefully: Last night Veronica Mars changed the film industry. In just over 11 hours the proposed movie generated $2million of ‘donations’ on Kickstarter, which puts it squarely in the ‘record breaking’ territory. More [...]
The following contains no spoilers on plot points but does mention who Peter Weller is now playing. We’ve been fooled by this sort of thing before: a few weeks out from release a distributor will show a few minutes of footage to get audiences worked up. And it’s always good. Always. Let’s face it, no [...]
Oz the Great and the Powerful hits cinemas today. Earlier in the week we spoke to stars of the film James Franco and Zach Braff about iPads on sticks, using their directing experience to enhance their acting, and the strains of repeating the same answer in countless different languages. On the mechanics of working together [...]
Earlier this week we published an excerpt from our interview with Sam Raimi, where he spoke about what was (or rather, wasn’t) happening with Evil Dead 4. In the full interview, which is a rather long piece, he speaks frankly about being an entertainer rather than an artist; the intricate and collaborative process that went [...]
You might not know Clint Mansell’s name, but you’ll certainly be familiar with his work. Lux Aeterna, a piece he composed for the soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream, has become part of the cultural fabric, featuring in adverts, film trailers and football matches, and he has composed scores for films as diverse as Smokin’ [...]
Last night at the Apple Store on Regent Street, Sam Raimi spoke to fans about his new movie, Oz the Great and the Powerful. During the course of the evening he also mentioned writing Evil Dead 4 this summer. Earlier this morning, we spoke with Raimi at a junket for Oz the Great and the [...]
With the Oscars only hours away, many of the categories look pretty much sewn up, and no doubt in LA right now, sure-thing winners are putting final touches to their speeches for the big night. One of the few categories the still very much an open field is Best Adapted Screenplay, with Argo, Life of [...]
Today sees the release of Mama, a rather curious horror movie starring Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain and exec produced by the master of dark fantasy, Guillermo Del Toro. Based on a short created by Spanish creative duo Andreas and Barbara Muschietti, the movie offers a disturbing new take on the ghost story. Recently we spoke [...]
Back in the middle of October, as the London Film Festival was drawing to a close, I sat down with director Alex Gibney to discuss Mea Maxima Culpa, his LFF Award winning documentary, which examined the conspiracy of silence and obfuscation within the Catholic Church over the abuse of young boys in a Catholic residential [...]
In a little over a week’s time, Rich Moore is going to be stood on a stage in LA, collecting an Oscar for Wreck it Ralph*. The movie is sweet, touching and utterly brilliant. And it’s also inspired the rather interesting essay on the site. Naturally, when we spoke to Moore earlier this week, we [...]
Over the last few days we’ve been running an interview with producer Todd Lieberman, who- alongside producing partner David Hoberman – has been responsible for producing films as diverse as The Fighter, The Proposal, Surrogates and The Muppets. Earlier this week we ran the first two parts: where Lieberman spoke about his career as a [...]
It’s been nine years since the Dawn of the Dead remake revived (reanimated?) the zombie genre, and eight and a half since Shaun of the Dead deconstructed it for comic effect. Since then we’ve had a near endless parade of movies featuring the undead. Some serious, some humorous, most rubbish. What’s surprising is that it’s [...]
Yesterday I got to sit down and chat with Sarah Silverman who plays Vanellope in the new Disney animated movie Wreck-It Ralph which is in a cinema near you this Friday. Silverman spoke about being a positive role model for young girls, and her (entirely justified) belief that she’s a considerably better option than vapid [...]
Yesterday we published the first part of our interview with Muppets and Warm Bodies producer Todd Lieberman. Today, we publish part two, where we focus on all things Muppets – from the reasons for shooting Muppets… Again! at Pinewood Studios to introducing his young sons to the characters. HeyUGuys: How do your boys feel about [...]
Even amongst hardcore film fans Todd Lieberman isn’t a household name, but he probably should be. The Oscar nominated producer of The Fighter, his career started at Summit, where he was instrumental in getting Memento into production, as well as in the first film in the American Pie franchise. Since 2004 he’s been producing movies [...]
This evening, at the premiere of I Give it a Year, we found out that Rose Byrne is still waiting to hear whether she’s in the X-Men: First Class sequel, that Stephen Merchant agreed to take part in the forthcoming Movie 43 after being asked by the director if he “wanted to be on a [...]
Once in a while, we’ll be given the opportunity to interview film critics and other journalists, and while I’m not really a fan of the practice, and as a rule I try to avoid it, once in a while it’s worth making an exception. Yesterday, at the launch of the Everything Everywhere BAFTA Rising Star [...]
Yesterday Juno Temple was nominated for the Everything Everywhere Rising Star BAFTA Award along with Suraj Sharma, Alicia Vikander, Andrea Riseborough and Elizabeth Olsen. Having recently finished filming Horns with Daniel Radcliffe, she took the time to head down to BAFTA, where she spoke to us about losing out on roles to friends, her love [...]
Yesterday we were at the launch of the Everything Everywhere (EE) BAFTA Rising Star Award*, which saw Sunraj Sharma the only man in a fivesome that also included Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Olsen, Andrea Risborough and Juno Temple. Lucky chap! After the announcement we stuck around to grab a quick chat with Pippa Harris, who was [...]
Just as the rush hour was finishing last Friday morning, a small horde of Harry Potter fans descended upon London’s Kings Cross Station for the opening of Platform 9 ¾, a Potter-themed shop set up by London Film Museum founder, Jonathan Sands. And after a speech by Sands, and among a flurry of flashbulbs, franchise [...]
