Just as we’ll always associates Daniel Radcliffe with Harry Potter, we’ll be associating Kristen Stewart with her role as Bella Swan in the immensely popular Twilight franchise. The final movie, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is released in November later this year but before we see it, we’ll have Universal Studios’ new [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
How To Stop Being A Loser arrives on the small screen on Monday, 6th February. You can see what we thought of this at times laugh out loud funny British comedy here and indeed you can win yourself your own copy right here if you get your skates on. As part of our coverage of [...]
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 [...]
Last night saw the UK premiere of This Means War, the spy-action-rom-com-bromance starring Chris Pine, Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon, and we braved the cold weather and the gangs of dispossessed posh people marauding around Kensington to cover the event. You may have already seen the clip from the video where McG serenades me. Remarkably [...]
Martha Marcy May Marlene first premièred at Sundance in 2011 and finally arrives in UK cinemas this week. After receiving very positive reviews in Sundance the film has gone on to receive acclaim both for the assured and distinct direction and the excellent performances, especially from relative newcomer Elizabeth Olsen. Myself and three other journalists were lucky enough to [...]
To mark the release of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on DVD and Blu-ray this Monday, 30th January, Studio Canal have given us five copies to give away on Blu-ray Double-Play. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy finds George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a recently retired MI6 agent, doing his best to adjust to a life outside the secret [...]
Here’s an odd but great video interview courtesy of the guys from Lost at E Minor which shows A-Lister Angelina Jolie interviewed when she was just 16 years old. The video seems to have made its way onto the interview after years of being ‘lost’. The interview doesn’t really tell us much but I thought it [...]
There are none so inspiring in recent political history than Burmese pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi who remained under house arrest in Burma for almost 15 out of 21 years from 20 July 1989 until her most recent release on 13 November 2010. The Lady is Luc Besson’s heartbreaking but compelling love story about [...]
This time yesterday, I had never met Boris Johnson and had never been to the famous Harry Potter set, Diagon Alley but by midday this afternoon, both those dreams had come true! This morning, I got to travel back to Leavesden Studios in Hertfordshire (see our first trip here) which is he home of the [...]
Several of our writers at HeyUGuys, including our two editors, have young children, and therefore a legitimate excuse to watch Children’s TV. I, on the other hand, don’t. On the other hand, I am barely employed (and barely employable), so am far better versed in the ins-and-outs of children’s TV than I have any right [...]
Earlier this year, I got to go to Leavesden Studios to see a few of the brand new sets that are being built for Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter Studio Tour London. It was one of my personal highlights from working on HeyUGuys and if you missed my interviews with the Weasley Family and Tom Felton, [...]
Last week, I got to sit down with the legendary Robin Williams to talk about his new movie, Happy Feet 2. We got chatting about how he finds his voice for the characters , what he thinks about the future of the world and other deep stuff like that! I’ve transcribed the interview with the [...]
Take Shelter, the latest pairing of director Jeff Nichols and actor Michael Shannon, arrives in UK Cinemas this week. The film is a fascinating and often moving story of a practical man, Curtis, going through an emotionally and psychologically difficult time. A large percentage of the film rests heavily on the shoulders of Michael Shannon in this central [...]
As you will be all too aware yesterday saw the UK premiere of Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 hit a very busy Westfield Shopping Centre in Stratford. We were of course down there getting the low down but before all the excitement and hype of the red carpet HeyUGuys met up with one of [...]
Snowtown finally makes its way onto UK cinema screens on the 18th of November following a release in Australia and a number of positive reactions from festivals worldwide. The film is a dark story of serial killers in small town Australia and one that is all the more harrowing due to it being based on a true story. [...]
Stephen Merchant may well be one of the hardest working men in Britain. He’s certainly got a diverse CV. Alongside his frequent collaborator Ricky Gervais, he’s presented several radio shows and podcasts, created award winning TV shows The Office and Extras, wrote the film Cemetery Junction and has a very successful solo stand-up career. We [...]
Yesterday I put up our interview with Amber Heard for The Rum Diary and today we get to chat with the with captain of the ship, Director Bruce Robinson about his new movie, The Rum Diary. The film stars Johnny Depp, Amber Heard Giovanni Ribisi, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Rispoli Richard Jenkins and is based on [...]
For the last thirty years or so, Keith Chegwin has been known as a friendly, cheeky and jovial TV presenter, commonly seen on breakfast TV waking members of the public at the crack of dawn, and presenting them with substantial amounts of money. Now he’s turned his hand to acting (sort of), as the title [...]
