Who's next for Midsomer Murders?
24 December 2009 2:33 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
John Nettles films his final series of Midsomer Murders next summer. So who's ITV lining up for his comfortable shoes?
Forget who's going to be the new ITV chief executive. What most viewers really want to know is who will going to replace John Nettles in ITV's veteran hit drama Midsomer Murders. It looks like ITV have found someone.
ITV is planning ahead and I understand that executives are already in advanced talks with John's replacement.
It's the end of an era and as John says: "Next year is going to be an important year for me, it's the year I leave Midsomer Murders."
He will film his final scenes next summer – by which time, Midsomer fact fans, he'll have made 82 episodes – and Dci Tom Barnaby will be on screen until 2011. Jason Hughes, who plays DS Ben Jones, is staying on, as is Barry Jackson, who plays Dr Bullard.
But it's understood that Jane Wymark, »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Four
19 December 2009 11:50 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Val Kilmer, Andy Garcia, Rupert Friend, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Johnathon Schaech
Director: Renny Harlin
Summary: An American journalist, his cameraman, and a Georgian native get caught in the crossfire of the five-day Russia-Georgia conflict in August 2008, and then have to deal with their obligation to be impartial.
Analysis: A timely parable on war, or Hollywood propaganda filmmaking at its worst? Wherever it goes, especially in Europe and the former Soviet states, "Georgia" will cause a lot of talk and controversy as the incidents depicted are still so fresh in many's minds. Like all topics of the sort, it'll also have its strong supporters and detractors having opinions on the film long before a frame of footage is screened anywhere.
Shot on-location in Tbilisi, the project also marks a potential return to form for Finnish director Renny Harlin. Given the right material the skilled action director delivered three »

[DVD Review] Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Ultimate Edition
10 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Since 2001 I’ve been a Harry Potter nerd through and through. I jumped on the bandwagon a little late (the fourth book had just come out and the first movie was on its way to theaters), but for the eight years I’ve been on it I’ve been so devotedly. I geek out on Harry Potter like it’s my job. (Thanks to the good folks here at Jpp, for today at least, it is.)
The ultimate edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is impressive. It includes the theatrical version, the extended version, and two discs of bonus features.
But I’ll get to them later. First, a quick word on the movie itself. As die hard a fan I am, I’m well-aware that the first two Harry Potter films are not cinematic masterpieces. (I suppose none of them really are, but we’re going to pretend otherwise. »

Bifa 2009: All the interviews and all the stars
9 December 2009 3:47 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
At this year's British Independent Film Awards we caught up with the stars of British cinema from both in front and behind the camera. Andy Serkis, told us that while public consensus may be that British film has 'had it', events like the BIFAs raise the profile of British talent and prove to the world that it's a youthful, enthusiastic and dynamic. He is joined by both Jason Isaacs and Noel Clarke in his sentiment, that awards like the Bifa's are vital to promoting British talent, in an increasingly difficult market. We also caught up with the evenings winners, including Fish Tank's break out star, Katie Jarvis and Sam Taylor Wood and her fiance Aaron Johnson. »

The alternative British independent film awards
7 December 2009 5:50 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Here are the gongs they didn't give out on the night
In France, the Césars honour the best of French cinema; in Spain, the Goyas do so for their Spanish counterpart; and in Germany, the Lolas do likewise for German films. In the UK, we do things differently: the Baftas celebrate achievements in film regardless of national origin, making them uncomfortably similar to, and highly predictive of, the Oscars.
Which is all very well, unless you are British film-maker or actor who would, quite frankly, enjoy your moment in the spotlight once in while. Hence last night's British independent film awards, which have emerged over their 12 years of existence as the premier event celebrating British film.
The organisers of the Bifas would probably acknowledge that their awards are only as good as the British movies produced in any given year. Ever so slightly embarrassing, in other words, when a picture »

Jason Isaacs at The British Independent Film Awards 2009
7 December 2009 3:09 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »
Jason Isaacs was one of the numerous British film stars who showed their support for the BIFAs this year, and we caught up with him on the red carpet to talk films and Harry Potter. Praising Bifa for it's work in tirelessly promoting British film which would otherwise be swallowed up by big budget Hollywood films, Jason also points out the differences between Hollywood cinema, which tends to be more escapist, and the realism and empathy of British independent films. And while he admits this is a bit of a generalisation, we are inclined to agree. Having worked on both indie films and big studio numbers, Jason describes British cinema as the 'meat and potatoes of his career'. Praise indeed! »

The First Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Image Surfaces
1 December 2009 6:23 PM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
USA Today has released the first photo for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Though the photo is somewhat boring, at least I liked what David Yates, the mastermind behind both Parts 1 and 2, had to say about the tone of the next film.
“It’s going to feel very real. We’re going for a vérité approach. Being away from Hogwarts, they’re like these three refugees on the run. They’re out in the big bad world, facing real danger, unguarded by those wonderful benign wizards at Hogwarts. They don’t have a home to go to. We’re kind of pulling away from the magic a bit and bringing more reality to it.”
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows finds Harry, Ron, and Hermione hiding in a world full of Muggles with the fate of the Wizarding world in their hands. Directed by David Yates and starring Emma Watson, »

Here’s a couple of new images from Matt Damon’s Green Zone. If you didn’t catch our news about it a couple of days ago, both the Domestic and International trailers were released 12 hours apart from one another which caught us all by surprise as they were completely different in their content. We have them both on HeyUGuys for your viewing pleasure – click the links above to view. The international trailer gives you a much better idea of the story but they’re both worth a watch.
In the meantime, we have these new images (click them below to enlarge) from the movie which is set to blow your socks off March 12th. As well as Damon, Green Zone stars Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson, Jason Isaacs, Khalid Abdalla.

New Green Zone International Trailer Up
29 October 2009 5:12 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The new international trailer for Paul Greengrass’ action thriller, Green Zone – which reteams the director with his Bourne star, Matt Damon – has just gone online, and it’s a good ‘un.Stating rather emphatically that, even though it’s set in Iraq during the early days of the American invasion, there won’t be a soapbox anywhere in sight, the trailer is an action-packed affair, with Damon’s Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller enduring explosions, gunfire and beatdowns at the hands of Jason Isaacs in his attempt to uncover the truth about WMDs.And while there’s a touch of the Bournes about proceedings – perhaps inevitable, what with Greengrass’ patented urgent camerawork and the presence of Damon – it’s also clear that Green Zone will be its very own beast. Either way, we’re so there.Watch the trailer in its entirety below. Green Zone is out in cinemas on »
International Trailer For Green Zone
28 October 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
The brand new European trailer has been released for Paul Greengrass‘ latest offering, Green Zone. The film stars Matt Damon, Jason Isaacs, Greg Kinnear, Amy Ryan, Antoni Corone and Nicoye Banks and invades UK theatres from 12th March 2010.
United 93 director Paul Greengrass explores the aftermath of the Iraq invasion in this feature adaptation of author Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s literary exposé of the same name. A one-time Baghdad bureau chief of the Washington Post, Chandrasekaran was present as American forces attempted to set up a provisional government on the grounds surrounding former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s opulent palace. The resulting governing body, according to critics, existed in a bubble so far removed from the grim realities of the Iraq War that it failed to properly assess the needs of the people. In this fictional thriller set during the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad, director Greengrass and screenwriter Brian Helgeland »

Matt Damon Trailer Double-Bill: ‘Green Zone’ & ‘Invictus’
28 October 2009 10:29 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Just recently a couple of trailers appeared online for two highly-anticipated films starring Matt Damon: Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone and Clint Eastwood’s Invictus. They are very different types of movies – Green Zone being like Bourne set during the Iraq War and Invictus looking like one of those biopics that is clearly “Oscar-ish.” Check out both of the trailers below.
Green Zone reunites the Bourne director Paul Greengrass and star, Matt Damon, and is a war-drama/thriller about about a pair of CIA agents on the trail of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We reported back in the summer of this year that Green Zone had been moved from a late 2009 release to March 12th, 2010, leading to some confusion over that why, as the film seems like prime material for the Oscars.
However, as you’ll see in the trailer below – much as was the case »
