This week sees the Blu-ray and DVD release of Danny Boyle’s follow up to the Oscar grabbing Slumdog Millionaire and with his retelling of the true story of Aron Ralston he has given us an intense and divisive film, with a fierce, magnetic central performance from James Franco. 127 Hours is not an easy watch, [...]

Boyle will reunite with his 127 Hours and Slumdog Millionaire producer Christian Colson, and are in talks with Fox Searchlight and Pathé for finance and distribution. The film is described as an art heist gone wrong, with the dark, sexy, hard-edged tone of previous Boyle films. It [...]
Soul Surfer is almost a good movie, its flaws are easy to forgive in light of the fact that the story is as inspirational as anything that will be released this year. Even when the film dips into sappy melodrama and cliched sequences, its story is uplifting enough to help the audience through the running [...]
HeyUGuys were proud to be invited to the red carpet at the 2011 BAFTA Awards by Orange tonight in London’s Covent Garden tonight to see some great films celebrated and to take a moment to appreciate the wealth of talent making the films honoured tonight.

Following the critical and commercial bonanza of Slumdog Millionaire with 127 Hours was a bold move for Danny Boyle. No doubt the director was offered all manner of scripts bookmarked with blank cheques but he wisely chose to use the Oscar momentum to tell the story he wanted to and now his film, and its [...]
Seriously, where does James Franco find the time?!?

The Allen Ginsberg biopic Howl isn’t officially released in the UK until next month, but directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman must have liked what they saw in their lead James Franco with rumour currently suggesting they’d like star to return for their next true life inspired project, Lovelace.

Fresh from playing real-life self enforced amputee Aaron Ralston in 127 Hours, James Franco is being set to play another non-fictional character, satanic serial killer Richard Ramirez.

You may recall the story from 2003 of female surfer Bethany Hamilton who (following a run-in with a tiger shark), lost her left arm in the attack, only to overcome that life-changing injury and return to the waves less than a month after the incident. It’s the kind of inspirational tale that screams out for [...]
Danny Boyle’s Oscar winning success with Slumdog Millionaire must have led to floods of offers, but Boyle chose to take on the story of Aron Ralston and the 127 hours he spent at the bottom of a canyon with his arm trapped by a falling boulder. The film is out in UK cinemas tomorrow and [...]
