If you’re a fan of the Blu-Ray format, then you’re going to love this. And if you’re not, I thoroughly recommend converting now. It seems that Play.com are in the business of brightening up our Friday afternoon! They currently have a sale on a number of last year’s biggest blockbusters on Blu-Ray, headed up by [...]
In recent years we have seen Hollywood tap a variety of different resources in its ongoing search for new ideas. Stopping just short of sticking its hand down the side of the sofa and rummaging for loose inspiration, Tinseltown has instead chosen to adapt everything from the usual books, video games and television shows, to [...]
Back for their third year we are proud to present the annual HeyUGuys movie awards – The Truffles. At the end of each year our wonderful team of writers like to round up the various movieland highs and lows into our own unique categories, to reward the diverse, the challenging and the downright lovely and [...]
With X-Men First Class finally available on Blu-Ray this week (check out our review here), we got a chance to talk to our favourite teleporting Devil-a-like, Jason Flemyng. Given how many films the man’s been in over a 20 year long career, the hardest part of interviewing him is staying on the subject at hand [...]
In a year awash with superhero movies a new X-Men film was in danger of being overlooked, or even avoided altogether given the toxic slap of X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men: Origins Wolverine and yet here we are with me telling you that X-Men: First Class is tremendous fun and edges up to X2 [...]
There’s no doubt that the comic book world has been kind to Matthew Vaughn of late. After the double-whammy of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, he has yet to commit to his next project, though a couple of properties connected to Mark Millar (who wrote Kick-Ass) are believed to be under consideration. Firstly, there is [...]
Mark Millar’s creator-owned comic label, Millarworld, has proved a veritable feast for studios, eager to produce their own Wanted or Kick-Ass. While Sony prepares War Heroes and 20th Century Fox chews on Nemesis, however, Matthew Vaughn is returning to the fold for seconds, having just purchased the rights to the comic book creator’s Superior (via [...]
For anyone whose interests in a Robocop reboot were bolstered considerably by news that Elite Squad’s José Padilha had signed on to direct, this may make give you further faith in the idea of a new take on the property. Padilha (who is co-scripting) is interested in man of the moment Michael Fassbender to play [...]
With mere weeks to go until the really rather brilliant X-Men: First Class hits on Blu-ray and DVD, a new deleted scene from the movie has surfaced giving us an altogether different perspective on one particular moment from the film. In the sequence where Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) attempt to [...]
Caleb Landry Jones (No Country for Old Men) has landed the lead male role in Byzantium. Jones will star opposite Saoirse Ronan (Hanna) and Gemma Arterton (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) in Neil Jordan’s fantasy-thriller. Based on Moira Buffini’s acclaimed play, Byzantium centers on a mother and daughter vampire duo who form a deadly pact. Byzantium will shoot [...]
Here’s the very first look at the new Steve McQueen directed movie called Shame. The film has just been announced to be playing at the Toronto Film Festival later in the year and now courtesy of our friends at The Playlist, we have our first look images. These images show two of the main cast, [...]
After a nifty opening which is comprised of both stock footage and newly-shot film (think JFK meets Apollo 13) revealing that the US moon landing was part of a covert mission to explore a marooned alien vessel from the Transformer’s home plant of Cybertron, we’re back in present day where the surviving Autobots have now [...]
So, a whole assortment of comic book characters are out of the blocks and the reviews and numbers are coming in. Critically speaking, Thor and X-Men: First Class seem to have fared best, with Green Lantern taking a bit of a pounding. Commercially, Thor has done pretty well ($430m+ so far), X-Men is closing in [...]
We’ve gone X-Men: First Class crazy over the past few months for the simple reason that we love it. You can see why by reading Adam’s review of the movie here. Twentieth Century Fox have sent over this brand new clip for the movie which is called Training Montage and does what it says on [...]
In the six months since the first solid details emerged from Ridley Scott’s rumoured Alien prequel we’ve had a number of updates, not least the gathering together of an excellent ensemble cast to bring Alienverse sci-fi epic Prometheus to the big screen. Slash Film have bought together some of the tidbits from around the internet [...]
Last week we managed to tap into our dormant mutant powers and attend the press conference for X-Men: First Class to hear firsthand experiences of the production from key members of the cast and co-scribe Jane Goldman. Our review of the film is here and you can check it out right now as it is [...]
Last week I got to spend some time with Spanish actor Alex Gonzalez who makes his big Hollywood debut as Riptide tomorrow when Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class is released in the UK. Riptide is the the tornado-conjuring mutant henchman of chief villain Sebastian Shaw.. In the interview, I got to find out what it [...]
It’s pretty likely that this article is late. Following on the heels of (at least eight of) our competitors. That’s because we believe that the interesting part of the interview this article comes from is the rest of it. Frankly, reporting about Mark Millar’s next project, one we’ve already written about seems pointless. We like [...]
X-Men: First Class is now a week away from release and (courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter) we have three images which will surely whip up some X-citement, particularly amongst those male fans. Mad Men’s January Jones is bad guy Sebastian Shaw’s second-in-command, and as you can see from her Bond-esque 60’s bodysuit, fur-shoulder number and [...]
HeyUGuys recently joined several other film news sites at a round table interview with Matthew Vaughn to talk about all things X-Men: First Class. The interview lasted over 45 minutes, and because it was only for sites that write about film (unlike other round tables where we share with all sorts of outlets), it’s pretty [...]
