Jon is currently in the Media Centre at the Royal Opera House live blogging the 2012 awards ceremony as they happen ( 2 hours before the TV broadcast) and I’m at HeyUGuys HQ tweeting and posting as we go along. Below are the winners which I’ll update as they happen. Let is know if you [...]
Hello everyone and welcome to our favourite day in the British film calendar. We’re here in the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for the 65th annual BAFTA awards and while the red carpet is being ironed and our colleagues fight off the cold anticipation is building for what should be an excellent evening. Two of [...]
Star Wars hits cinemas today with one extra dimension than we saw back in 1999 when the movie was first released, back then there was so much hype and anticipation for the movie that everyone thought was going to be the greatest prequel of all time. Unfortunately, although the movie made an absolute fortune, it [...]
Written by Joe Pearce. Casting is one of the most important factors to get right when making a film; good actors saying bad lines can save a script (see Sir Ian McKellen in X-Men: The Last Stand); whereas bad actors working with a good script can come close to ruining a film completely (I refer [...]
To date, there are currently ten films that have crossed that almost unimaginable threshold of taking more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, a record first broken in 1998 by James Cameron’s epic, Titanic, which stayed at the top of the US box office for fifteen straight weeks, a record it still [...]
Thank you so much Funny or Die for bringing this video into our lives! French actor, Jean Dujardin has recently hit the big time in the English speaking world after his stunning performance in The Artist (our coverage here) and with the Oscars coming up, there was no better time to get involved with the [...]
With the exception of the overlooked Young Adult and Martha Marcy May Marlene everything seems pretty much in order this week. Chronicle goes straight in at number one, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island pulling in the family audience and Jack and Jill gaining a well deserved and generous haul of almost a million pounds. Wait, [...]
Here’s a rather surreal shot for a Friday morning but it amused me greatly and had to go up! It’s not often you’ll see two of the greatest 80s action stars in bed next to one another but today is the day to make it happen as Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a picture on WhoSay.com of [...]
The last time I sat down with Hammer president Simon Oakes Let Me In was about to roll into cinemas and he was in similarly upbeat fashion this time, just returned from the Paris premiere of Hammer’s latest film, The Woman in Black and with a big opening weekend in America behind him we talked [...]
We love McG here at HeyUGuys mainly because he recently serenaded Ben on the red carpet at the premiere of his new movie and it made us laugh a lot! This video below could probably go down as one of the most random videos we’ve ever posted on HeyUGuys. It was so random that I [...]
Lana Del Rey’s well known song Video Games was ripe for the picking when Holly Laurent from The Second City and Martin Wilson from Mister Important Words decided to parody the music video by turning it into a tibute for The Hunger Games! The video has already had 35 000 views on YouTube since it [...]
Adam Hamdy (second from left) is a 37-year-old filmmaker who gave up a lucrative business career to concentrate on his life-long passion of working within the comic book world, publishing his first work (entitled The Hunter) in 2007. Last year he made a move into directing with Pulp – a fun crime caper which revolves [...]
We’ve had the cuddly Bane, the cuddly Cat Woman and the cuddly Batman but I know all of you were disappointed that no one had brought out a Mr. Potato Head Batman character! Well, fear not as BigBadStore.com are selling this rather fetching version of the everyone’s favourite potato character known as ‘The Dark Knight [...]
Feeling sorry for Will Ferrell and why Oscar prefers crying to a good belly laugh I feel a little sorry for Will Ferrell. No, it’s not the succession of box-office hits, the staggering star salary or the house in the Hollywood hills that’s probably quite spacious with a pretty decent-sized garage. Because let’s face it, [...]
UPDATE – We blog the awards here LIVE! BAFTA have just announced the list of people who will be attending the 2012 BAFTA Awards this Sunday and it’s rather an impressive list. I’ve placed the full press release below but in a nutshell, those attending include: Receiving Awards in alphabetical order: Adam Deacon, Bérénice Bejo, [...]
This is rather fantastic news and massive kudos to Orange to have the bottle to make this happen but we’ve just received a press release alerting us to the fact that Miss Piggy will be on the red carpet at the 2012 BAFTA Awards to interview the stars as they walk down the carpet. There [...]
Resident Evil fans are sure in for a treat this year with Resident Evil 6 being released at the end of the year and Operation Raccoon City set to be released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on March the twenty third (and the latest installment in the Paul W. S. Anderson film series, if [...]
With Super Bowl Sunday fast approaching, it’s time to get a little NFL-centric. The Super Bowl is not just about splendid TV spots for upcoming cinema releases, there is a game to be played too. Many of us on this side of the North Atlantic rather look down our noses at American Football. Some dismiss [...]
In the January 1999 issue of Empire, the magazine’s big preview of the year only gives a cursory little box in the corner to The Matrix, one of the defining movies of that decade. And The Phantom Menace dominates it. That’s the problem with all the 2012 previews that have been cluttering the interwebs for [...]
