We all may know someone who’s more than a little “Noel-nutty”. They’re the folks in a frenzy as retailors pack up the pumpkins and bring out the wreaths. And they probably overload on nogg as they “zone out” on all those winter holiday flicks that clog a couple of the basic cable TV channels. Ah, but what’s this at the multiplex, barely a week into November? Did one of those offerings slither out of its cage over at Hallmark? Perhaps, except this has a rather interesting list of talents. It’s got a story and script co-written by Oscar-winner Emma Thompson, and it’s directed by one of the current kings of raunchy comedies (this time minus his muse Melissa McCarthy), Paul Feig. What kind of tinsel and fluff stocking stuffer have these two diverse talents created? Well, it’s one that takes its title (and much...

(Warning: While not necessarily a spoiler alert due to the multiple versions of the story, if you want to find all the different endings for yourself, we would not suggest reading the below. So go watch them and then Be Right Back).
We’ll get right to it (instead of making you choose the content of this post): “Bandersnatch” — the feature-length choose-your-own-adventure installment of Charlie Brooker’s anthology series, “Black Mirror” — landed on Netflix on Friday and since then TheWrap has gone through several viewings trying to figure it out.
As best as TheWrap can tell — after an unhealthy amount of viewings and backtracks — the interactive story about ’80s video game programmer Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) and his attempts to develop the fantasy novel “Bandersnatch” into a video game, has 5 “main” endings. By which we mean, endings that trigger the closing credits — or rather, the option to “exit to credits...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for “Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” that you may be exposed to even if you’ve watched it, due to how many different versions of the interactive film exist.)
“Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” dropped on Netflix at 12 p.m. Pt/3 a.m. Et on Friday — and a bunch of (totally not crazy) people stayed up to experience the Charlie Brooker-created anthology series’ very first “Choose Your Own Adventure” installment as soon as it launched.
If you weren’t willing to sacrifice your sleep to see what all the fuss was about, don’t worry, because TheWrap went through several viewings of the interactive story that follows ’80s programmer Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) and his attempts to adapt the fantasy novel “Bandersnatch” into a video game. And in the wee small hours, we unearthed tons of references to previous “Black Mirror” episodes buried inside the movie.

New film productions to celebrate 400 years of Shakespeare; The Hungry named Film London’s first UK-India co-production.
Film London has named Sir Kenneth Branagh as its patron for Shakespeare on Screen, a year-long programme that will form part of the celebrations marking the 400 years since the death of the revered playwright.
As well as supporting Film London’s work, Branagh is also set to participate in next year’s activity, with details set to be revealed next year.
Shakespeare on Screen will include a series of new productions celebrating the Bard’s legacy. These will include a feature film, two shorts from all-female filmmaking teams, three artists’ animations and a BBC Arena documentary examining Shakespeare’s screen legacy.
Some of these productions will be screened nationally as well as forming part of the British Council’s Shakespeare Lives programme, which will see a range of content toured internationally in partnership with the BFI.

One landlord has taken house rules to the extreme. A potential tenant looking for a room to rent was so taken aback by the strange list of rules handed to her by the landlord - before she'd even signed a contract - that she shared with Twitter. The list of 31 strict house rules were posted by Laura Evelyn yesterday (9 January) with the comment: "Need a room to rent? I was given this upon a recent viewing. This is not a joke! #heseemedsonormal" Her tweets soon went viral, garnering more than 2,000 retweets so far. > Couple demand deposit back on 'haunted house' (more)...

Back in mid-2009 we got the first word from writer/director Ian Fielding about his upcoming Wilby Park, and now there's an official trailer for us to check out.
The film's tagline is "A Story Inside a Story Inside a Story", and Fielding promises we can expect "fully fledged characters, sinister tactics, and some mind-bending reality shifts". He also gives special credit to Dave Johnston (aka Gecko) for his "wonderfully menacing, creepy, and thunderous score". For a taste of what Johnston can do, check out his MySpace page.
But back to Wilby Park. Here's a bit of plot recap:
Monica Hamlyn (Claire Conroy) is studying creative writing in Wilby. She lives with her friend, Bailey (Susan Momoko Hingley), who studies fine art. When Monica invites a new flatmate, Emily Bodega (Laura Evelyn), into the fold, she lets in more than she bargained for. Emily harbours an obsessive crush on Martin...
