The film I helped produce won BEST FEATURE FILM at the Newport International Film Festival.

BEST FEATURE FILM: JACK SAY'S – Directed by Bob Phillips (UK)

Jack Says is a 2008 British independent feature film known particularly for being the last professional engagement of the legendary Mike Reid, who died shortly after filming in 2007.

The film is a contemporary film noir, with comic book undertones that reflect it's precursor graphic novel Jack Said, and is comparable in style to Sin City. The film also stars Simon Phillips, Rita Ramnani, Daniel Roberts, Rula Lenska and Eric Cantona.

Waking up in London with amnesia next to a dead body, Jack has just enough time and sense to disappear before the police arrive. In an attempt to lay low, he heads to Paris to visit the ex he can’t remember. But a guy like Jack attracts trouble, and an encounter with the mysterious Girl X draws him and the woman he loves back into a world he’s trying hard to avoid … and to remember.

Sweded
The summarized recreation of popular pop-culture films using limited budgets and a camcorder. The process is called sweding. Upon completion the film has been Sweded.

Origins: In the Michel Gondry film BE KIND REWIND, the character Jerry accidentally erases the videotapes at Mos Def's rental store, and the pair remake all the movies themselves. These versions become popular with customers, who are told they take longer to arrive and cost more because they come from Sweden. Hence, the films are referred to as 'Sweded'.

Disney debuts the teaser trailer for TR2N at Comic-Con 08.

As always the trailer was captured by a fan on his mobile phone. The below version was further cleaned up by another fan to give us an almost watchable version.

From "http://tron2trailer.blogspot.com/" comes a breakdown of the full teaser trailer:

- The Disney logo appears and quickly seems to get digitized.

- We pan over ominous clouds into a digital city landscape only to find a man in a updated “Tron” costume. He’s on the run.

- The man jumps into a brand new 2008 version of the familiar light cycle.

- And a huge chase ensues with a pursuer in a dark mask after our racer. Unlike cycle races of old this one goes up and down AND side to side.

- The chased man is vanquished, crashing horrible. As the pursuer gets off his cycle he pulls a familiar disc from his back. The winner looks up to a previously unseen observer.

- And the observer is…Jeff Bridges! An older (and now evil) Flynn?!? He rises from a meditative state in his watchtower to see the pursuer do his bidding.

- The vanquished man pleads to his pursuer. “It’s just a game!” And then the final big reveal: the pursuer takes off his helmet and he is also Bridges, a seemingly younger Bridges!

Yes! It seems that both Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleiter are reprising their roles from the original.

Double Bill: Preview screening of Sukiyaki Western Django & Django at Curzon Soho

The Curzon Soho is offering a double helping of Western madness.

First off, an exclusive preview of Takashi Miike’s (Audition, Visitor Q) Sukiyaki Western Django, followed by the cult classic that inspired it: Sergio Corbucci’s Django.

Proceedings will kick off with a Cowboy party in the bar from 9.30pm, before the films begin at 11.30pm!

Sukiyaki Western Django
As two gangs battle for control of a remote town, a deadly gunman comes to the aid of the residents. Making his Japanese cast speak English and with a cameo from Quentin Tarantino, this is one of Miike’s most bizarre films yet.



Please note this screening will not be subtitled!

Django
Legendary cult film about a coffin-dragging gunslinger who enters a town caught between the KKK and a gang of Mexican Bandits. Inspiration for the ear-cutting scene in Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, Django is a full-on, over-the-top Western epic.

Preview Screening of Slumdog Millionaire and Q&A with Danny Boyle

Danny Boyle's latest film tells the story of Jamal, a street kid from Mumbai in the unlikely position of winning India's version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. In fact, the local police find it so improbable they arrest him on suspicion him of cheating. As Jamal tells them his story, we gain an insight into his life and loves. Beautifully shot, it's an energetic and, ultimately, joyous film, and a fantastic addition to Boyle's increasingly diverse filmography.

Special preview of Milk and Q&A with Gus Van Sant (Director) and Dustin Lance Black (Writer)

On Saturday 17 January, Curzon Cinemas presents a special preview of Gus Van Sant’s MILK, the biopic of Harvey Milk. They are pleased to confirm that director Gus Van Sant and writer Dustin Lance Black will be joining us for a Q&A after the film.

MILK [15]

In 1977, Harvey Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, thus becoming the first openly gay man to be voted into major public office in America. He went on to change the very nature of what it means to be a fighter for human rights before his untimely shooting in 1978 by a former city supervisor. Van Sant’s biopic charts the last eight years of Milk’s life – his decision to leave New York, his involvement with the famous Castro Cinema and his decision to become a spokesperson for change. Penn is on superlative form as Milk, giving a nuanced, understated performance that perfectly captures Milk’s humanity and humility.

STOP PRESS! Preview screening of The Wrestler and Q&A with MICKEY ROURKE in Soho, London - 5 January 2009


We are honoured to invite you to what is expected to be the hottest ticket of 2009!

A preview of the upcoming film from Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) THE WRESTLER followed by a Q&A with its star, acting legend Mickey Rourke.


Winner of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the Venice Film Festival 2008, Mickey Rourke gives a performance of astonishing commitment and emotional impact in THE WRESTLER, all the more poignant considering Rourke also returned to his boxing roots for the role. Director Darren Aronofsky produces a pure and vivid character study of Randy “The Ram” Robinson (Rourke) who was at the top of his game until forced into early retirement. However, he finds himself back in the ring in a circuit of gruelling, un-televised fights. He also endures a painful relationship with estranged daughter Stephanie (Evan Rachel Wood) and a tentative romance with stripper Cassidy (Marisa Tomei).

Tickets on sale to the public 21st December from http://www.curzoncinemas.com/

Preview: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button + The Guardian Interview with David Fincher

We are thrilled to be able to present this preview screening of David Fincher's richly satisfying new film, and to be able to welcome him to BFI Southbank to take part in the Guardian Interview as part of our retrospective of his career to date.

From Fight Club to Panic Room, The Game to Zodiac, David Fincher's work is that of a master craftsman, combining technical know-how and story-telling ability in a way few directors can. These skills are demonstrated to the full in this wonderful adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Incredibly ambitious both technically, and in terms of its narrative structure, the film follows the eventful life of Benjamin Button (a beautifully restrained, touching performance from Brad Pitt), a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards physically, while maturing emotionally and mentally. Working from a script by Eric Roth (Ali, The Insider), Fincher has created a truly remarkable, richly satisfying film.

Special screening of Far North and Q&A with Asif Kapadia

With thanks to Soda Pictures.

Part of a planned series of films exploring the four points of the compass and four years in the making, Far North marks a stunning return to a more personal form of cinema for BAFTA-winning director Asif Kapadia. Adapted from a short story by Sara Maitland, this is a dark epic tale set in the harsh beauty of the Arctic. Saiva (Michelle Yeoh, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Anja (Michelle Krusiac) are two women struggling to survive on the frozen wastes. One day a lone figure, Loki (Sean Bean), appears on the ice and collapses and Saiva nurses him back to health. The two women then begin to compete for his affections – with tragic and terrifying consequences…

Special screening of Frost/Nixon and Q&A with Peter Morgan

Curzon Cinemas will be hosting an exclusive preview screening of FROST/NIXON followed by a Q&A with screenwriter and executive producer Peter Morgan.

After nearly twenty years writing television projects Peter Morgan emerged as the top talent in his field thanks to the success of The Deal (2004), which centred around the co-dependent relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This success continued in 2006 with two critically acclaimed films, The Queen and The Last King of Scotland. Morgan has consistently demonstrated a gift for portraying public figures as real human beings involved in interesting and complex relationships; something he continued in the award winning play, and new feature film, Frost/Nixon.

FROST/NIXON
Director: Ron Howard
Starring: Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Rebecca Hall. US 2008. 121 mins

Reprising their roles from Peter Morgan’s stage play are Langella, who won a Tony for his portrayal of Nixon, and Michael Sheen, who fully inhabited the part of Frost onstage in London and New York. Screenwriter Morgan, who’s racked up an impressive number of on screen portrayals of highly public figures (The Queen, The Last King of Scotland), here revisits the electrifying battle between Richard Nixon, the disgraced president with a legacy at stake, and David Frost a jet-setting television personality with a name to make. In summer 1977, the steely former commander-in-chief agreed to an interview with Frost and as the cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits ensued.

Hello,

Hello,

UNKLE have announced they will play a show at the
Union Chapel in London on the18th December.

The show will coincide with the release of their new album 'End Titles…Redux' which will be released on the 15th (Dec). The LP saw a 48 piece orchestra involved, and James Lavelle was also approached during the recording to put together a programme of Music and Film at titled 'Marginalized' to aid 'Margins Project', Union Chapel's charity for the homeless in London. Ge tickets for the show below.

How do you follow the party of the year? Easy, you step things up to another level.

Bond girl dress goes under hammer

The dress made famous by actress Olga Kurylenko in the latest James Bond film Quantum Of Solace was last night expected to fetch up to £4,000 at a charity auction.

The black Prada knee-length dress went under the hammer alongside the Gina shoes worn by Kurylenko in publicity stills for the film, in which she poses with actor Daniel Craig in a desert scene.

Additional items for auction included a limited edition Omega watch in the same style as that worn by Daniel Craig in the film.

The Awards Ceremony

The night will see Rough Trade East turned into an urban art bazaar with attractions including: charity art tombola, pin the devil tail on the banker, hook-a-duck-outa-an-oil-slick, a magician, DJ’s and lots of art related prizes.

Each attendee will be given a ballot paper on entry and asked to vote for their favourite artist from the shortlist. The winners will receive a specially designed sculpture that will also be up for grabs on the night.

The charity art tombola will give people the chance to win anything from a special, one off, custom piece of art, on either a reclaimed record cover or vinyl record, to a jar of jam or bar of soap.

Tombola tickets will be £5 each – a bargain if you win a Matt Small original (his work usually sells in the region of £5K - £6K). If you win the soap at least you’ve contributed to a good cause – your conscience will be clean.

Artists contributing an original piece includeAsbestos . Beejoir . Ben Allen . Ben Slow . Brian Jones . Bortusk Leer . Case . Charming Baker . Chinamike . Crie . Cyclops . Dale Grimshaw .

Not really my thing but I am keen to see how many read a post about Britney Spears.

According to Marie Claire "Britney Spears will perform in a special one-off, private gig this weekend in London."

Britney Spears will perform in a special one-off, private gig this weekend in London.

In the UK to appear on X Factor, the comeback queen will drop by the GAY club night, currently in residence at central London nightclub Heaven, for a highly anticipated performance.

'It has taken months of very patient planning but the hard work has been more than worth it.'

The white 1976 Lotus Esprit from the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me, starring Roger Moore and Barbara Bach, will be sold by the international auctioneers on 1 December at its annual motoring Auction Sale at Olympia, in West London.

The vehicle is one of two Lotus cars driven in the film by Roger Moore’s James Bond character. It turns into an amphibious car for the movie, driven both on land and underwater.

Click here to read an article first published contemporarily in Road and Track Magazine by Doug Nye, renowned motor historian and Bonhams consultant.


Also for sale, is the registration number ‘AU1’, used in another James Bond film Goldfinger. The first registration issued in Nottingham in 1903, this number was fitted to the Rolls-Royce Phantom III used by arch villain Goldfinger in the legendary film of the same name, since AU is the chemical symbol for gold in the Periodic Table. It is expected to fetch in excess of £80,000.

The Lotus driven by James Bond is a Lotus Esprit S1, a 2.0 Litre Type 907 In-line-4 engine, capable of 140lb-ft@4900rpm / 160bhp@6200rpm.

The Lotus Esprit S1 is able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 8.1 s and reaches a top speed of 124 mph. It uses a 5-Speed Manual transmission and weights 2101 lbs.

James Bond's Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me is to go under the hammer at a London auction next month.

The white 1976 Lotus Esprit is expected to fetch between £100,000 - £120,000 at Bonhams annual motoring sale. It is one of two Lotus cars - driven by Roger Moore in the 1977 film - which turned into an amphibious car when it ended up in the sea during a chase.
Bond fans will get the chance to bid on the car at the auction in Olympia, west London, on 1 December. The registration number AU1 from Bond classic Goldfinger will also be up for auction in the same sale.
The first registration issued in Nottingham in 1903, AU1 was fitted to the Rolls Royce Phantom III used by arch villain Goldfinger in the film, as AU is the chemical symbol for gold in the periodic table.

Bonhams hope the plate will fetch more than £80,000.
