I always had the idea in my head that Aardman was the British version of the Disney owned Pixar Animation Studios; the main idea being that the place is a hive of activity and now, after having the privilege of visiting both studios, I can confirm that I was 100% right! A couple of weeks [...]

After two previous cracking trailers for Aarman’s (The creators of Wallace and Gromit) new animation, Pirates! An Adventure with Scientists, they’ve released another third new trailer this morning and it’s just as good as the previous couple. The cast is rather awesome (includes Hugh Grant, David Tennant, Imelda Staunton, Martin Freeman, Jeremy Piven) while Peter Lord [...]
Nick Murphy’s debut film is an old school ghost story in every sense with Rebecca Hall’s journey to invesigate alledged spooky happenings finds her rolling up at a boys school in the middle of nowhere with a murdered pupil and a host of unanswered questions.

For the the first time in three days I find myself at my desk and not in the O2 flanked by my friends and colleagues waiting for the onslaught of dozen montages of future films to blind my senses while I liveblog events like a man possessed. Instead we’re taking a moment to reflect on [...]
