I’m currently sat in the media centre at BAFTA, trying to warm up after spending several hours in the freezing cold. Still, it was all worth it as I managed to snag some great interviews with the nominees and attendees. To make it even more worthwhile, I’ll be posting the interviews as soon as they’re [...]

When it comes to interviewing people in the film industry, there are a great many unwritten rules if you want to be considered professional: Be reasonably respectful and polite, don’t beg for autographs and don’t dribble on yourself. Beyond that it helps to have some idea what to ask, and it’s certainly considered a bit [...]

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 [...]
Eddie Redmayne is an absolute gent. I got to meet him when I interviewed him for My Week with Marilyn a few months ago and I could have chatted with him all day long. He’s such a nice guy, humble and is one of Britain’s best upcoming actors. He’s currently up for the Rising Star [...]
Hitting DVD this week is Albatross, a coming-of-age comedy-drama about a Emelia (Jessica Brown Findlay), a verbose, would-be writer’s incendiary effect on a struggling author, Jonathan (Sebastian Koch), and his respective family, including wife Joa (Julia Ormond) and daughter Beth (Felicity Jones). The film, which premiered at last year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival to wide acclaim, [...]
We’re now only days away from the creepiest and most upsetting movie in years hitting cinemas (our review here). It’s already been well received in the US, where it made back its budget this weekend, and in case you haven’t read our review, we thought it was rather good. Last week we published our premiere [...]

When it comes to being a jack of all trades, Quentin Dupieux wrote the book.

At this week’s second UK premiere* for A Dangerous Method, we spoke to Viggo Mortenson about the attraction of working with David Cronenberg.He explained, “He makes what can sometimes be a very trying or difficult job, or emotionally demanding, he makes easy and fun. He never loses sight of the fact that, after all it’s [...]
I think it’s safe to say that Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell and Michael B. Jordan have pretty bright futures ahead of them. They’re relationships with each other on screen are believable, brought on by incredible circumstances and full of tension. Not unlike any relationship you or I might be in. That, in my opinion, is [...]
Josh Trank is the first guy to tell you that he invites comparisons of his newest film “Chronicle”. While the film attempts, and succeeds, to do something unique, Josh has stated that he pulled a lot from projects that inspire him. There are obvious similarities to films you’ve seen before but on a whole “Chronicle” comes [...]
In case you somehow missed it, there’s a new Muppet film coming out early next month, and at HeyUGuys, we’ve gone a little bit Muppet-crazy.
