Well it’s official, the crowds have cleared, the snow has settled, and the Sundance Festival has officially closed up shop for the year! With this year playing host to over 120 films, it may be hard to sift through the rubble to find those hidden gems that we will continue to enjoy over the next [...]
Director Stephen Frears (The Queen) has a decade-spanning career whose credits have earned him two Oscar nominations to date, so it’s not surprising that his return behind the camera for the indie film, Lay The Favorite, is one of the films I’m most looking forward to this year. The film stars Rebecca Hall, Bruce Willis, [...]
Vince Vaughn is currently in talks to join indie film, Lay The Favorite, Variety is reporting. Already signed on to star are Rebecca Hall (The Town), Bruce Willis (Die Hard), and Justin Timberlake (The Social Network), and I think Vaughn’s addition to the cast would round it off quite nicely. Lay The Favorite will see director Stephen Frears [...]
Joshua Jackson (Cruel Intentions) has signed on to star in comedy-drama Lay the Favourite. Jackson will star opposite Bruce Willis (Pulp Fiction), Rebecca Hall (The Town) and Catherine Zeta-Jones (The Rebound). Lay the Favourite will center on a thirtysomething woman (Hall) who becomes involved with a group of geeky fiftyish men who have found a way [...]

New poster alert for a film which looks to seduce you with its Gemma Arterton-ness, and this is the US version of the International Poster we posted a while back for Stephen Frears’ adaptation of Posy Simmonds’ comic strip Tamara Drewe. The trailers, clips and other images we’ve seen so far all point to an [...]
Running from September 9th to 19th, Toronto’s annual film festival appears to have assembled an interesting mix of both studio and independent features in their programme this year. Now in its 34 year, the festival will show The Town, Ben Affleck’s follow-up to his acclaimed 2007 debut Gone Baby Gone as part of the Gala [...]
Empire have debuted a new UK poster for Tamara Drewe. The marketing for this British comedy has been spot on so far, and this poster only adds to the intrigue. It’s sure to be a laugh-out-loud, sweet and traditionally romantic tale. Our man in Cannes, Simon Gallagher reviewed the film, and you can read his [...]
Momentum Pictures have delivered a new UK trailer for Stephen Frears’ (The Queen) new British comedy, Tamara Drewe. Adapted from the graphic novel written by Posy Simmonds, and amended for screen by Moira Buffini, Tamara Drewe features a mainly British cast, headlined by Gemma Arterton (The Disappearance of Alice Creed).

This year’s festival at Cannes played host to the premiere of the Stephen Frears big screen adaptation of Posy Simmonds’ Guardian comic strip Tamara Drewe, and its mixture of filth and stiff upper lips made a decent impression on the assembled critics. Our man in Cannes gave us his review here and I can’t wait [...]
A few brand new images has been released for new British movie, Tamara Drewe on the official Facebook page. The latest image shows Tamsin Greig in a rather amusing image accompanied by a chicken and has the following caption: Tamsin Greig is the always loyal but under appreciated housewife Beth, here tending to one of [...]
The second film of today’s viewing schedule saw me taking my seat to watch Stephen Frears’ newest offering Tamara Drewe, an adaptation of the graphic novel by Posy Simmonds (which had run as a comic strip in the Guardian), which itself was an adaptation of Far From The Madding Crowd, in a modern, round-about way. [...]
Now that the film schedule has been announced, and Ive discovered that my day-early departure means I will only miss ‘Burnt By The Sun 2: Exodus’ of the films I was definitely keen to see, I have a better idea of the films showing, and have come up with the ten most important films showing [...]
Here’s an interesting short video that I wasn’t really sure which category to put it under on HeyUGuys. The title of the short documentary is ‘How Far Would You Go?’ and it features short interviews with directors, producers and actors and is inspired by Sony Playstation 3′s new game, Heavy Rain. The game focuses around [...]
