Thanks to an email from Soundcloud I have just heard this amazing new music from Rehearsed Living.
There album which I am just listening to after listening to the fantastic 'Maths' and the other amazingly brilliant track 'Feel Alive'.
I just heard about 15 seconds of 'Feel Alive' and like other comments on these brilliant tracks have also said they are hooked as am I now, and if anything you really need to give this album or just these two mentioned tracks a listen to as it is well worth it!
But really I think that just listening to the two tracks really doesn't show off how awesome these songs are.
Here are the links to these two songs that one your on Soundcloud you can easily go to the link that
takes you to the album:
http://soundloud.com/rehearsedliving/feel-alive#t=1
http://soundcloud.com/rehearsedliving/maths#t=1
If you want you can download these tracks and others from this album.
I have to say that I absolutly love the pop/indie synth sound that is on each track and it does sound a bit 'Hurts'...well only in the same sense that all the tracks have these really catchy synth sounds on them that makes each track sound as if it was influenced by the the really good bands of the 80's and 90's.
But I just thought that the track 'Hurdles' really does remind me of one of my many favourite bands 'Metronomy' tracks 'She Wants' which is one of my favourite tracks off the new album 'English Riviera'.
I wanted this blog's words to look like they had a similiar look to Rolling Stone Magazine as that Magazine is to me a god like magazine. I also wanted this blog to be like me with fresh, new and exciting news about all things music and film based.

Resident Evil 5 new stills!
Thanks to Collider.com I have come across these new promo shots that I am sure won't be the last parts of promotion for this new Resident Evil film before it comes out.
Yesterday Collider posted these two new stills including some new artwork for this film:

These two pieces of promo that I have found thanks to Collider.com make the film look like it's going to be an all out high octane action/thriller film that will seem more on the same level as the first Resident Evil film was...and as you may or may not know in this one there will be some new and old faces from the first and second Resident Evil coming back, but for those of you who are still in the dark about this new Resident Evil I will help fill in the blanks for you...but I do have to admitas I am a fan of this amazingly good franchise the fan side of me is wanting to say 'If your in the dark about this new Resident Evil film, where the hell have been, how can you have not cottoned on to this franchise....it's bloody amazing!'
But anyway...
Milla Jovovich comes back to play Alice who is the only living person that hasn't been turned into a zombie by the Umbrella Corporation, and this time she is still kicking ass chasing the people responsible for unleashing this deadly T-Virus on the population which has been as a result of this deadly virus been turned into flesh eating zombies. So while the global population have been turned into this the only hope for the human race is Alice. As Alice wakes up in the most clandestine operations facility of the Umbrella Corporation she delves deeper into the complex and finds out more about her murky past
As she does this she chases around Hong Kong, New York, Washington D.C and Moscow in her fight to find the ones responsible for the global population being infected.
This chase though leads Alice to find out a mind blowing revelation that forces her to rethink everything.
Very action packed huh?
Paul W.S Anderson will return to direct this film that he has written...and thanks to a little bit of background checking on IMDB I now know that he wrote and directed the first Resident Evil film which was the best one I have to say to date...so hopefully knowing this this Resident Evil will be hopefully on the same level as that one if not better.
We can all hope, fingers crossed!

There is now a writer for X:Men First Class!
Hooray! Empire Magazine have given me the best ever news I have heard today...20th Century Fox has just closed a deal with Matthew Vaughn who brought us the the amazingly fantastic 'X Men: First Class' to come back and direct the sequel to this amazing film.
According to Deadline New York 20th Century has also got in place to come back into the centrefold of this amazing X:Men film Simon Kinberg to write the script for this as well as Bryan Singer who is coming back to produce this sequel.
Thanks to Emma Watts 20th Century Fox's sole production president who has also just signed a new multiyear deal that will keep her in this role until 2015, she has really shaken the studio up with how, according to Deadline New York:
"...has made it a priority to populate the studio's slate with elite filmmakers, and coming back for more..."
And as you may or may not have seen this X Men: First Class and how well that it did money wise for both the studio and Matthew Vaughn's team, and the fact that a couple of months ago I was reading an interview that Michael Fassbender gave about how he and James McAvoy were bandeying around ideas for a sequel to this film as both actors were still excited to comeback for this sequel that there was bound to be a sequel in the works and that Matthew Vaughn would be wanting to come back to 20th Century Fox for more of the same again in the form of a sequel.
And thanks to yesterday's post on The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog
that that is safe for me to say that as well as Matthew Vaughn and co coming back into the centrefold for X Men: First Class sequel, that all the cast from this amazingly fantastic first film are coming back...so thank god for this I say as every actor on the last film from Michael Fassbender to James
were all amazing!
And to be honest there would be really no point in letting this team of really good actors and actresses go onto other projects as then you'd have to start from scratch and recast all the parts as well as get in a new cast and this I think would take a lot more time and a lot more tassel than every involved wants...plus just having the same cast and crew work on this sequel is cheaper and you could start development for this film straight away if you wanted but then again you couldn't really do this as you would still need a script to be written as well as a story for this film.

New Stills from the new Riddick!
Yesterday on Vin Diesels's Facebook page,-where it seems is all the behind the scenes info from this new film that you could possibly want to know is-, I saw these two new stills from the film.


These two stills as you can see brings to life the costume of Riddick as I know from a previous post that I have done that all we (the fans) have been able to see of this costume was just the principle artwork which I do have to say was really impressive, and with the principle artwork of what the desolate land is going to look like that according to the back story for this new film is:
Riddick is left for dead on a desolate planet that is inhabited by alien predator creatures that as you can guess want to eat him and he becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Therefore, bounty hunters from all corners of the galaxy descend on this planet to find him and claim their prize...but they soon realise that they are all pawns in Riddick's grand scheme of revenge. So putting his enemies right where he want them he unleashes a vicious attack on vengeance...then when this is all said and done he pops home to Furya to save it from destruction.
Ah well, all in a day!
This I hope is the first in a lot of promo for this film to 'leak' onto the internet...but I just thought that this film that is working under the title of 'Riddick' has just started development again after all the problems it had with its development,-one thing is the budget that had to be trimmed-,so this may just be the very first baby steps stills that will come from this movie that's back filming in Montreal, Canada.
Hopefully this isn't the only stills that are to come out of this film as I am sooo excited that tere is going to be finally another Riddick as I am such a big fan...well I absolutly loved 'Pitch Black' and eventhough 'The Chronicles of Riddick' was nowhere near 'Pitch Black' I still watch it every time it's on TV...but when I first heard that this film is going to be going back to 'Pitch Black' I was really really happy as this film had the best mix of action, suspense and scare.
Still this is the very tentative stages so who knows what is going to happen.

New James Morrison video
The other day when I was on Youtube after work I came across the new video for James Morrison's 'Slave to the Music'.
Here it is below:
I absolutly love the guitar on this track and I know it sounds a bit like the xx but this is completely different to them as it may be the same genre of music but I think this is a bit less emo...and I do have to be honest here that when I first saw the xx live on 'Later... with Jools Holland' that I really didn't like them as I though that they were really emo and really playing up to the stereotype of they have really pale skin, hair all over their face and are really depressed, but I have come to like their music.
Here it is below:
I think it is fair to say that this music video must be his promo video for the song as it is his new song and I guess he needs to get this played as much as possible on every radio show including music TV channels so that it makes a bit more money for him as I think this video is a bit like he really didn't know what to do for this video...and the whole thing does look like including the gold microphone which is cool but still it looks like with the dancers in a sixth form drama project.
This may sound a bit harsh but I do think it still is a valid point in the grand scheme of things, and I have just realised that I may be a bit biased on this point of view as everyday when I come into the office my mum puts this album on the CD player and now as she has played it so much on certain songs it gets tired and skips to the next song or sometimes it won't even play this song or the next track listed on the album...but I do have to admit that although I am not one of James Morrison's biggest fans I do think this album is really catchy and on some songs like this one it reminds me of the motwon records that I have on my IPOD.
Anyhew...I also saw this new Dappy music video on 4Music music channel yesterday and this features none other than Queens Bryan May on guitar.
Here it is below:
I do think this is a catchy song and I think it could do well but all the time I was listening to it it just sounded the same as his last one 'No Regrets', but I think that's why Bryan May has gotten in on this track so as to make it sound a bit rocky and make it not sound so 'No Regrets'.
But I can see what they've done here, because of the name of this track 'Rockstar' they've got Bryan May in as he was in a rock band-Queen to be precise-. It's not the most original idea that a record comaony has had that's for sure.
I just thought that I quite liked 'No Regrets' as it was a little bit different to what Dappy was doing in N-DUBZ but it's a little bit disappointing to see if someone had bought that album under the illusion of thinking that that song was good maybe the rest will be just as good, but then when you hear this you might think at first that |"ok this sounds a bit like that other song but I'll listen to the other tracks"...but then you get to the end of it and you think that 'I've just listened to a whole album of 'No Regrets' so why on earth did I buy this I could have easily downloaded the single 'No Regrets' '.
Also my sister has just found this incredibly good band called 'Trailer Trash Tracy's' and their song 'Candy Girl'.
Here it is below:
I think here that the bass on Candy girl is really cool and really interesting...and I just really can't put into words how completely good this is and their album 'Ester' is on HMV website and I definitly think that these are well worth having a little listen to because they really do help you unwind after work and it is really worthwhile just sticking 'Candy Girl' on at any point during the day wheather your still at work or in the middle of doing nothing it is definitly one that you want to listen to over and over again.
I do have to say though, I know this may affect it's likeability somewhat but the first time I heard this I kept getting flashbacks to the 'OC'...this at the time sounded like it might have been in one episode where there's an awkward silence or a scene going on between one of the couples.
New SkyFall images and news!
According to Metro Newspaper to save money on this new Bond:SkyFall movie that is being directed by Sam Mendes that some scenes will be shot in Bognor Regis...yes I said Bognor Regis and no your eyes are not decieving you.
This shot below was taken at one of the new locations for SkyFall at The Four Seasons Hotel, London.
But fear not Bond fans there will be one exotic location which still falls in the bond history of things such as with other Bond films there was Venice, Russia, the Carribean etc, this one exotic location will be Turkey...but we already knew this or if your not like me and are an absolute nut when it comes to James Bond then this is new news...also just in case you want to see for yourselves I would advise that you go to the Twitter pages of @007 and on there is the official SkyFall website which has all manor of James Bond news and information.

Although when you put it like that that shooting scenes in Bognor Regis are for money saving reasons this seems very logical as well as being a safe idea with all the financial problems that MGM had with having to declare itself bankrupt...but when these sorts of locations were on the cards:

- Bali
- India
- China
You do think: 'Oh WHAT! WHY AREN'T THEY GOING THERE?', but then you think there not going for money reasons.
A 'source' told the Daily Mail that:
"To say some of the cast and crew are a bit gutted is an understatement..."
This source went on to say that:
"As well as Pinewood's incredible facilities, the UK has an array of amazing untapped resources, and some stunning beaches particularly along the south coast and parts of Wales. While is hardly the most exotic of locations it is important for the franchise that they support British industry and give something back."
You could say that this last bit of this quote has come from someone very high up in the film industry that has got something to do with this film as I remember that a few weeks ago Prime Minister David Cameronsaid that he wanted more films to be done independently and that would support the British economy...and whoever this has come from wants to be seen as doing good deeds, so I was thinking maybe this 'source' is Sam Mendes himself as I have heard that he wants to get an Oscar from this Bond film...which would be a first as the only ever Oscar that a Bond film has had is for one of the songs.
But you could also say that as James Bond is a predominatly British film franchise that why wouldn't it not support British industry as I think there is nothing wrong with keeping everything in the films British and more to the point the cars as there is nothing more British I think than seeing James Bond rock up in an Aston Martin, can't really understand why the makers of James Bond went away from Aston Martin andhad instead BMW as the car that would be driven by James Bond.
Here is a date for your diary when this new film comes out...the 26th October this year.
Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw along with Dame Judi Dench who will be returning as M who it has been rumoured to test Bond's loyalty to her as her past comes back to haunt her, but it also has been rumoured that in this film Ralph Fiennes's character is waiting in the wings to replace her in this new film.
But Ralph Fiennes has joked that he was:
"I'm allowed to say that I'm a government agent".
So only time will tell if this was a very clever rouse from Ralph Fiennes to get Bond fans off the scent of what his character will actually be or if this is actually true or not.
Holysmokes Batman! Someone on the inside's been talking!
Thanks to Metro Newspaper, Joey King who was in the lesser known over here in the UK anyway 'Ramona and Beezus' has lifted the lid on what on earth she is doing on the set of The Dark Knight Rises, which as I can gather will have pissed Christopher Nolan off no end as other actors have said that on other Batman films that they have done there has been a confidentiality agreement so as to keep any in house secrets secret.
But now in My Entertainment World Joey King has lifted the lid on what she is doing in amongst actors such as Michael Kane, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Marion Coutillard and the many other amazing names that will be starring in this last of the Christopher Nolan Batman movies.
She has said that:
"I play young Talia al Ghul. I can't give too much away as I promised Mr. Nolan I wouldn't say anything. There are too many secrets about the character and the movie".
This is the young daughter of Ra's al Ghul, who was in Batman:Begins (the first of film in this Bruce Wayne/Batman story), who was head of the League Of Shadows who got Bruce Wayne out of a Chinese prison and taught him how to fight, this role was taken up by none other than Liam Neeson.
Also:
I just found this on Metro's website...this may go some way to explain to all those Batman fans that have seen the movie preview and have complained that you can't hear Bane, well now they all can clearly see from this new still picture why he has to have the mask on all the time as well as all the layers of clothing he wears for the Bane's costume. Also I have just found out that Bane is genetically enhanced.
So if you ask me this is a deliberate move from Christopher Nolan as he has said that he won't clean up the voice on Tom Hardy's character Bane to Warner Bros. and that once critics get the overall bigger picture of what's going on then the words of Bane doesn't matter.
I agree with this as I think that as this is the last film of Batman that he's going to be directing then it looks like he really has gone the full hog and really gone for making everything in this film the most action packed, the darkest, the most ominous this story could ever possibly be...well if you are going to leave this fanomally successful series of films you might as well leave it in style I think.
But I still can't believe that after Christopher Nolan has had a crack at seeing what he can do with the Batman/Bruce Wayne story and as all batfans including myself have seen how fantastic this was...that Batman will be redone with Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan producing this,-but if you ask me whoever gets the greenlight to direct this next film is completely stuffed as how do you make this redo as awesome or as spectacular as the last one and the big answer to this for me at the moment is you simply can't!-.

Topcat coming to the cinema screens!
The first time I heard this news I had to do a double take as I wasn't sure I'd heard this right, but now thanks to trawling the internet trying to find out if this is real, I 've found out this is true.
Thanks to Digital Spy Rupert Preston and Allan Niblo of Vertigo Films have released a statement saying that:
"We are thrilled to be bringing Top Cat, his mischievous gang and Officer Dibble to a whole new generation".
This new 3D remake of this legendary children's cartoon,-well I say legendary as everyone has to know TopCat and love it as much as I do as I and my sisters grew up on TopCat-, shows TopCat and his gang coming up against a new tech-savy police chief who's new to the police force, which threatens to retire officer Dibble and also the antics of TopCat and co.
As well as this film going to be released in 3D it will also be in 2D and has been created by Anima Studios.
All including me will be able to see this in August this year but for the moment the date has been as in many film trailers that you see on TV has a TBC (To Be Confirmed)...so I wouldn't get too excited about this news just yet, as anything can happen.

Resident Evil:Redemption trailer up!
Thankfully there is now a full official trailer for the new Resident Evil:Redemption, unfortunatly where Apple trailers and Youtube falls down on not uploading yet the teaser trailer for this next installment in the Resident Evil franchise of films, Yahoo! trailers triumphs:
http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/resident-evil-retribution/
Shown above is the link to the teaser trailer on Yahoo! movies homepage...if like me you experience any green fussiness during the first 5 seconds of this then just pause this and take the curser back to the start.
I am sooo happy and thrilled that a trailer for this film has finally come out as I just saw the other day on 5* Resident Evil: Afterlife...which I have to say was on a par with the first Resident Evil (which I have to say is my favourite), and the Resident Evil:Apocolypse (this is my second favourite), well I mean that this Resident Evil film in the tense horror scene stakes this film was on a par.
Anyhew...the story you'll be pleased to know follows on in the sense of the deadly T virus which as all you Resident Evil fans will now know was created with the purpose of making daughter of the professor who had made it originally able to walk again, still ravaging the Earth and turning population into the walking, flesh eating undead. So while the Umbrella Corporation continue to do this of course the only hope for the human race is Alice (Milla Jovovich).
Alice awakens in the most clandestine of the Umbrella Corporation's facilities, and while she is finding out more about this facility she finds out more about her past. While Alice is doing this she still wants to find those responsible for the outbreak-this takes her to New York, Tokyo, Washington D.C and Moscow-. And after all this she finds out a mind-blowing revelation that forces her to rethink things.
And through all of this she must fight her way through a world that is on the brink of oblivion.
So it looks like this film will be an all out action film, but it also sounds like there will be not as many tense scare-takular scenes as in the other two mentioned films which I think is a little disappointing.
Anyhew...there are a few new names added to this Paul W.S Anderson directed film, these being:

Anyhew...there are a few new names added to this Paul W.S Anderson directed film, these being:
- Shawn Roberts
- Johanne Urb
And there will be some old faces cropping up in this film:
- Michelle Rodriguez
- Sienna Gulloroy who was in the second Resident Evil film but more recently she was in Eragon as Arya the elf princess who Eragon liked.
- Oded Fehr who form Resident Evil: Afterlife got bitten and then volenteered to drive a huge petrol tanker into the centre of where the remaining zombies were and blew the lorry up with lots of sticks of TNT...so I'm a little confused as to how he and Michelle Rodriguez are back in this film as she in the second film became a flesh eating zombie.
Well...I guess I'll just have to wait and see how these two miracles were created.
Just before I forget the release of this film is September 14th 2012...so keep this in your diary!
More Dark Shadows news!
This just in from Empire Magazine online, there is a new still of Johnny Depp in full Barnabus Collins regalia:

This new still as with the one has really come thick and fast, and this will no doubt lead to either more stills from the movie coming out or more details including a shiny new trailer for this...which I can't wait for when it comes out as the two stills that are doing the rounds on the internet at the moment is really wetting my appetite and getting myself ready and excited about seeing this film that looks like it will be a classic Tim Burton and Johnny Depp collaboration film.
I have to say that this still and the last still from the film really do se this film up, but this still really does set the tone of this film up and now that there is a full view still of what Johnny Depp looks like in full costume as Barnabus Collins that you can guess that this film will be scary but as it's a Tim Burton film that it won't be really scary and there will be a few jokes thrown in for good measure, I'm thinking here Tim Burton's Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands (although this was a sad movie there were some jokes about the awkward situations that Edward gets into only having scissors for hands), Batman with Jack Nicholas in etc.
To be honest because I am such a big fan of both Tim Burton films as well as Johnny Depp-I was thinking about this the other night when one of my favourite Tim Burton film s as well as my favourite Johnny Depp film was on E4 'Sleepy Hollow', I don't want to sound like a film snob but I think why Johnny Depp is such a good actor is that he is willing to go for whatever role that will challenge him so that he doesn't just give a really good performance acting as a bad guy in a film and therefore for the rest of his acting career he gets pigeon holed into only playing that kind of role for the rest of his acting career,- that I really want to fast forward the extra info about this film as well as the trailer for the film and just go and see the film on May 11th 2012.

Goosebumps gets a movie!
A couple of days ago I was reading on Empire Magazine's website that the famous children's horror stories by R.L Stein is having plans drawn up as we speak on getting it's own film.
These stories I used to read when I was little and I used to watch the series that was made from these boks, I really don't know why these books weren't made into a film before as everything was there for any studio chiefs to look at and see the material was worthy of a film as the stories were so imaginative...well I thought so at least!
According to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog Darren Lemke, who directed 'Jack The Giant Killer':
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/jackthegiantkiller/
This as you can guess from the title is the 21st Century twist on yet another children's fairytale....but I just thought a lot of times you can see a theme or a pattern emerge from the world of cinema,-.i.e this month the running theme this month on cinemas has been either bringing old films back such as 'Star Wars:The Phantom Menace 3D', 'Beauty and the Beast 3D', 'Lion King 3D' or bringing them back into cinemas and putting a new twist on it such as 'Olivia Twisted', 'Snow White and The Huntsman', 'Mirror Mirror', 'Jack and the Giant Killer'...and last but not finally 'Beastly', understandably the powers that be immediatly brought back the original movie back but just 3Ded it...which I think they should have done in the first place as with other things that you don't mess around with there must have been a huge piece of red tape around this movie saying 'Mess With This At Your Own Doom!', I can imagine now that the director of 'Beastly' has been known as the one who messed with a masterpiece of film...if you have watched 'Mamma Mia' then I'm sorry for the pun but it wasn't done on purpose, and now forever has a black mark to his name.
But I guess you could have really called this moment of 'Beastly' s short cinematic life a abandon ship and run for the lifeboats quick moment as of the spped in which it was decided to put the original film back into cinemas-.
Anyhew...'Jack The Giant Killer' will be gracing our cinema screens on June 15th 2012. I have just read the synopsis of this film and to my mind this film has just been Hollywoodised within an inch of it's life as from the trailer the magic beans are just glossed over and there is no cow either speak of or see. The story for this film is this:
Nicholas Hoult who you will no doubt recognise from Skins plays Jack the farmboy opens up a gateway between our world and the ferous world of giants, thus unsettling a centuries old peace that was between humans and giants. This leads to the giants wanting the land that they lost all those centuries ago back and they are prepared to cause an all out war in an attempt to get it back. This leads to Jack having to 'fight the battle of his life' to stop them as well as fighting to protect the people, the kingdom and...what Hollywood film wouldn't be complete without, Jack has to fight in order to win the love of a pretty princess.
Is closing in on a deal to write this script for Colombia Pictures who will be trying to adapt these wonderfully spine chillingly good stories from the pages of the original books to the big silver screen.
Producing this film will be Neal Moritz from Original Film along with Deborah Forte from Scholastic Entertainment.
Back in May 2008 Columbia Pictures bought the rights to more than 50 of these ghoulishly brilliant books of R.L Stein, but Lemke isn't the only writer that has been on this under the radar project as several other writers have come and gone without anyone associated to this getting any closer to finding a story that fits this film and that can also make this one movie a dead cert for moviegoers to really love and enjoy,(the number of moviegoers to this one film always translates into money and ergo if this one film gets enough money generated off the back of this then there may be a sequel or it may even blow up to be as big or if not bigger as the Twilight saga, but then again it all comes down to there being an amazing story).

Inheritance...just finished!
For Christmas I got given the last book in the Eragon set of books, (I know that this set of books is probably not called Eragon as this was the first book from it but I can't remember what it is called).
Anyhew...I just finished with it the other night and it's fantastic...really worth reading. Now at first when you see this book it may automatically put you off reading this as it is the size of a Harry Potter book but this is really no reason to not read it as for me it fills the void made by there being no more Harry Potter books, and if this book doesn't get made into a film I'll eat my hat as it has everything going for it that would look great up on the silver screen.
There's dragons, there's battles on an epic scale that involves all kinds of weapons from lances, swords, hammers and daggers. Also there are lots of different types of characters such as humans like Eragon, elves, Urgals, Werecats (these I have to say are my favourite characters in the book as they look like normal house cats but can turn into humans and they can also be used as spies fornoma information), dwarves and nomads, but also as well as these things to keep audiences on their feet is that all through this book it takes you through all the different battles at each different land that they have to go through in order to get to the Empire.
If I think it about it now this really is another author having a go at creating their own Middle Earth, except this world is Algaesia and not Middle Earth...and the Varden are a group of rebels who are trying to overthrown the mad leader of the Empire Gallbartorix instead of there being Hobbits and dwarves founding the Fellowship to overthrow Saroman.
Also through this book there is many different languages such as the ancient language for things, the elves language, the Urgal language, the dwarves language and the nomad language...but in case you missed Harry Potter too much there is a lot of magic in this book that happens.
So it is fair this is a book for everyone to enjoy as it is an action adventure fantasy story, so if it did get snapped up to become a film then everyone could go...but probably not very young children as there are some scenes in the book which show mental but not physical torture happening.
So I would desperatly urge you even if your not looking for a really good book to read over the next couple of weeks,-and I really would take your time with this book so that you can focus on all the things happening in the book, but I would also advise that you schedule some time to read this as of it's size-, to go down to your nearest book shop and read this!

Oh god say it is isn't true...George Lucas is going to retire!
I have just seen on Empire Magazine this highly distressing news...George Lucas has told The New York Times that he is thinking about his retirement and that his film 'Red Tails' will be his last blockbuster film.
As I have seen all of the Star Wars Films and of course all of the Indiana Jones films as well as being a huge fan of both franchises, I hope to god that George Lucas is joking about this as he is a big player in the movie world and I think it's safe to say that there will be a very very big void left to fill when or if he steps down from making anymore films.
George Lucas told The New York Times Newspaper that:
"...I'm retiring..."
"...I'm moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff..."
Although this news is the most shocking news I've heard today,-I say this because I loved all the work he did on the Star Wars films, and I know the world did as even today these films are being released in 3D and all of these films have already been released again on Blu-ray-, there still was room in this interview for the legend of film to still be evasive about whether or not there will be a fifth Indiana Jones...and if you are like me and have seen the last Indiana Jones movie,-Indiana Jones:The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull- then you know that if this film were to become more than a rumour then it has to be a lot better than this one.
Rick McCallum, who has been producing George Lucas's films for more than 20yrs went some way to explain to the obviously dumbstruck New York Times as well as trying to get across to the many other fans of George Lucas's films what the reason was behind this decision:
"Once this is is finished, he's done everything he's ever wanted to do".
"He will have completed his task as a man and a filmmaker".
Even though this goes some way to explain Lucas's retirement I and many thousands of people and fans alike will be as dumbstruck as ever as to why he has decided this now...but I suppose if he wanted to retire he is doing it on a very high point as all the Star Wars set of films were bloody fantastic with the grand scale of everything from the creation of the characters, the whole story of the fight between The Republic and The Empire, and even down to the special effects on every film, was loved the world over...and now that I think about it these films are the gift that keeps on giving.
Also the same can be said of the Indiana Jones films and these were I think I'm okay in saying had as big as fan base as Star Wars...so really for George Lucas it is probably the best time to retire as he has had all the problems with trying to get 'Red Tails' released into cinemas and it's a little bit harder to gage what the reception will be from cinemagoers on this latest film from him.
These problems that George Lucas has encountered with 'Red Tails' is that when he went to pitch this idea to studios no one seemed to want to touch it so Lucas had to use his own money to fund every aspect of this film, including the prints to the film. After very long and drawn out negotiations between Lucas and 20th Century Fox, the studio finally agreed to distribute the film all be it rather reluctantly in America but they won't be paying any of the costs.
I don't really understand why there has been so much problems with getting this film out to cinemas as the story of 'Red Tails' is all about how in 1944 when the war on Europe takes it's toll on allied forces the Pentagon are forced to resort to unorthodox methods of commissioning the all African American pilots of the experimental Tuskagee training program.
http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/fox/redtails/
I could understand if the studios weren't wanting this movie to be another Pearl Harbour because let's face it this movie was a big stinker of crap at the cinema...that was only improved with the help of Team America:World Police, and no one wants another one of these as the reviews were bad and I can't think that there was a lot of money that was made on this film.
But I would have thought that any studio that has George Lucas come to it to pitch an idea that needs financial backing would give this straight away just purely for the fact that it's George Lucas.
But still the fact remains that this film has had some minor teething problems.
Apart from this though, you could say that this film has been a long time coming in development as George Lucas started commissioning scripts for this movie in the early 1990's, and even then this story was going to have three parts to it.
Oh well...I guess you win some you loose some, but this won't be the last that we hear of George Lucas though, even if it won't be on the side of the big blockbuster side of things.
The New York Times have said that:
"Lucas has decided to devote the rest of his life to what cineastes in the 1970's used to call personal films. They'll be small in scope, esoterical in subject and screened mostly in art houses. "

Justified and Southland coming back to TNT channel
I've just read that one of my favourite TV shows to come out of America 'Justified' is going to be coming back for a third series, YAY!
According to Variety:
" Two top-notch, under appreciated cable dramas make their return on Jan. 17, in an unfortunate head-to-head pairing..."
Southland,which has been described by Variety as:
"...The best drama on TNT..."
This is for all people who like me have not been watching this is it gives a raw and gritty look of LA and the LAPD, the first series looked at the relationship between patrol Officer Ben Sherman (who you will no doubt recognize from 'The OC' who played Ryan Atwood), and his training officer John Cooper who is played by Michael Cudlitz, and this new series sees the fallout from Officer John Cooper's confrontation of his addiction to painkillers. Also this second series sees two new characters in the form of Lucy Liu and Lou Diamond Philips.
Lucy Liu plays Officer John Cooper new partner that he has been assigned with and Lou Diamon Philips (I just thought if you don't recognise this name then I'll fill in the blanks, he was in the film 'La Bamba) plays a veteran policeman who has cavalier views on 'Letting the animals kill each other' come into direct conflict with Officer Ben Sherman.
'Justified', though has added a lot more to their already great list of cast members.
If though you aren't a huge fan of this TV series like me, I will try and help fill in the blanks.
Timothy Olyphant (you may recognise him from movies such as Hitman, Die Hard 4.0 and Gone in 60 seconds,-this role though in 'Gone in 60 seconds' was smaller than the other two mentioned films as he was the assistant policeman to Detective Roland Castlebeck who was after Nicolas Cage and his crew who were forced to steal all those cars).
In Justified he plays Deputy U.S Marshal Rayland Givens who has more of a wild west approach to dealing with today's law...which causes some what of a problem today's society, and it also creates a problem for his bosses in the U.S Marshal Service. On a an assignment in Florida, a fugitive gets shot in Miami and he therefore gets relocated to Lexington, Kentucky district which just so happens to have in this same district his hometown of Harlen,-everyone here hates him-.
If your like me and are a huge fan of this brilliant series then you will have probably seen the end to series 2 where Mags killed herself, so as you can imagine this creates a bit of a headache for writers as who do you replace her with as the top baddie in this series...and I just thought that you also need to replace the other members of the Bennett's family as one of the drug dealing brothers of this family is dead and the corrupt Bennett cop got shot.
But thankfully these shoes have already been filled by Neal McDonough who was in Desperate Housewives as the guy who had hallucinations of his dead wife and child, Mykelti Williamson he plays the mayor in CSI: New York and there will be a guest appearance from Pruitt Taylor Vince, he was most recently in The Mentalist playing the guy who was in charge of the investigation into what happened when a suspect in a police killer died by going up in flames in the police cells, and you may also recognise him from the film Constantine as the priest who died in a liquor store after being possed by Balthazar who was a demon working on trying to get the son of the devil into today's society. .

American Pycho being remade
A couple of months ago I heard on the movie news grapevine...i.e the internet that American Psycho is being planned to make a comeback to the silver screen.
Yes your eyes are not decieving you...American Psycho is coming back!
I don't really understand why Lionsgate are going to redo this film as the original one was soooo amazing. Well...maybe amazing isn't the right word to describe American Psycho as it is about a psychotic serial killer.
I have to say though that as this film was an out and out bloody scary fright fest I could only stomack up to the first five minuites of this film...I know that this seems very cowardly of me but when this is the label that is put on the film coupled with how I get scared very easily I have to say that this was a very safe viewing time for me...but then again that was when I was 18 and now that I'm 21 I think I may be able to handle it.
Anyhew... according to Indie Wire:
"...the story is being updated to contemporary New York by commercials and music video director Noble Jones..."
Although there have been few and far between other info on the movie other than this...but it sounds like this movie is in it's very early baby steps development as the only other new that's in about this news is that Bret Easton Ellis (the writer of the original book), has only just looked over the preposed story for the movie that Noble Jones is wanting to do and thankfully,-although this may be premature-, but Ellis likes it...saying on his Twitter account:
"...Haters beware: I just had a long discussion with Noble Jones, the writer/director of the 'new' American Psycho movie. His take is genuine."
As this is the only up to date piece of info on the movie this is very frustrating as since I heard about this being remade I have tried to see if there is more info on this because this to me although there is a lot of people out there that say this news is an absolute travesty I am very excited to see if this movie can be redone differently, as let's face it this redo will never be better than the Christian Bale classic...but I'm deffinitly up for seeing what Noble Jones's take on this story is.
Anyways...if your like me and want to hear more news on this or are a fan of the original film then you should definitely keep your fingers and toes crossed to see what happens on this.
Yes your eyes are not decieving you...American Psycho is coming back!
I don't really understand why Lionsgate are going to redo this film as the original one was soooo amazing. Well...maybe amazing isn't the right word to describe American Psycho as it is about a psychotic serial killer.
I have to say though that as this film was an out and out bloody scary fright fest I could only stomack up to the first five minuites of this film...I know that this seems very cowardly of me but when this is the label that is put on the film coupled with how I get scared very easily I have to say that this was a very safe viewing time for me...but then again that was when I was 18 and now that I'm 21 I think I may be able to handle it.
Anyhew... according to Indie Wire:
"...the story is being updated to contemporary New York by commercials and music video director Noble Jones..."

Cher Lloyd doing a duet with Astro!....and Mohambi
I was perusing Youtube.com looking for another new pop song that I had heard yesterday on 4 music music channel when this popped up...Cher Lloyd has done a duet with that little kid from American X Factor...Astro.
I Want U Back is the song...I have to say I couldn't believe this when I saw this as when I watched the American X Factor I thought this guy was good as he had to write new rapper lyrics before every show. bBut I do have to admit that Astro on that show did come over as very arrogant as there was one show whwhere he was in the bottom 2 and he came out refusing to rap a save me song...this I think may have been why he was voted off the next week.
Anyhew here is the video for this song:

Anyhew here is the video for this song:
If you like this song and want to hear more of this song then officially this will be released on our UK shores on the 26th February...but if you have already got her album you will aready have this song and therefore you will have no need to use Itunes to download yourself a copy.
II thin in this video that she has definitly been styled a bit better than in 'Swagger Jagger'...as in this music she was styled as if she was a chav...and in this one and in her other music video 'With Ur Love' this chavvy image was softened...less chav more pretty chav (if that is the look that her record company are going for with her).
I know this may sound a bit harsh to Cher Lloyd fans but this is only my opinion...but I do have to say that unlike with her first record I do like 'With Ur Love' and this record I think may as with all pop songs that I don't immediatly like it might grow on me.
Anyhew...the other song I was perusing Youtube for was Mohambi's new record 'In Ur Head'.
Mohambi if you haven't heard of him before is as I found out yeaterday a rapper who has done other records with Nicole Schwerzingger, Pitbull, Nelly, Gyptian (who sang 'Hold Ya'. The video is up above), also I found out that he is from Sweden.
This song though I do warn you that after hearing it once it will get stuck in your head...this though will not be a good thing like when I get a Kings Of Leon song stuck in my head because then it just makes me want to sit down for a couple of hours and listen to that album...but this kind of getting stuck in your head will annoy you as it's already annoying me as I can't concentrate at the best of times because it's a Monday and my head is still in the weekend.
Anyhew...when I heard this song the other day I thought that this track had definitly sampled another record, I first thought that this sample was maybe a Rihanna song but thankfully the sample that is used in this track is a Cranberries song 'Zombie'. This song though in my opinion is really really good and I never thought that you could make this song sound poppy with a synth soind to it.
I do though have to say that I do like this song and I definitly think that it is worth checking this guy out.

Dracular on for TV series!
According to Deadline New York Dracular will get a 21st Century update...meaning that it will be brought riproaring up-to-date version that will be screened for both the international and US markets.
NBC has asked Tony Krantz and Colin Callinder to produce this TV series and they have also asked Cole Haddon to write this.
Unusually this series that has been developed by NBC and NBCU's international channels has got a script-to-series commitment, this means that Dracular will go straight to a full blown series if the powers that be at NBC like it rather than the usual step of how other TV shows in America get made into a series whereby a pilot episode of the TV show gets made and based on the response from the audience watching (i.e the viewing figures) this gets made into a full blown TV series.
Anyhew...the story for this that has been developed on the basis of Tony Krantz, and as this TV series is being described as:
"Dangerous Liaisons meets The Tudors."
So I can guess as it's going to be a cross between The Tudors, which as I used to watch this series that it will definitly be very gritty yet have some sexiness in it...and of course this will be on a very big scale, but I have to admit that I've never seen Dangerous Liaisons so I can't say what this will be like, b but I think I can say that this will give the series a new look to it that will definitely shake off the cobwebs of the tale as old as time story of Bram Stoker's Dracula.
This will be produced by Tony Krantz's Flame Vantures along with Colin Calender's Playground Entertainment, Universal TV and NBCU's International Prods. Colin Calinder and Tony Krantz will also be executive producing this and Reece Pearson,-who works at Flame Vantures-, being co-executive producer on this.

Dark Shadows news just in!
Thanks to Empire Magazine and Entertainment Weekly there is a new picture or still out from this other hotly anticipated film.

I don't want to sound like my mum but I can't believe this is Johnny Depp, but apparently along with the gothic looking makeup to add to the ominousness, (don't think this is a real word but I'll use it anyways) but there is also prosthetics which have been thrown in for good measure to alter his appearance as well as give his character a certain harshness to his features that again adds to the mysteriousness of his character Barnabus Collins.
If you ask me this still may just give away that this film is a bit Sleepy Hollow-esque which I absolutly loved...but then again I did grow up with that story as a kid and all the spookiness of this story was kept in that film...not just because of Johnny Depp's makeup but with the costumes that both Johnny Depp and Michele Pfiefer are waring in this shot that has been taken from the film.
However as much as I can't wait to see this film when it gets released as I'm a big fan of Tim Burton and I have seen all Johnny Depp films, but I do have to say that you could argue that with this film being based on the ABC Network show of the same name that ran from 1966-1971 that featured ghosts, vampires, werewolves, zombies, time shifting and parallel universe's that the great director is jumping on the bandwagon of Twilight...but I really don't really want to say this as I am that bigger fan of Tim Burton but to be honest this isn't a bad thing to do as those films accumulated a lot of money... but on the other hand any Tim Burton film that's got Johnny Depp in is going to a worthwhile film to go and see at the cinema.
Seth Grahame-Smith has done the screenplay for this and I am also really really excited to hear as I am sure all fans of Tim Burton's Beetlejuice film that Seth Grahame-Smith is at the moment in the process waiting for Tim Burton to approve Smith's wanting to write the screenplay for Beetlejuice 2.
And by the sounds of it whoever gets to direct this as Tim Burton has said that he won't return to do this one that they will ask Michael Keaton to come back as the main man, saying that:
"Michael Keaton is so great, and I'm sure he'd just strangely tap right back into it..."
Whatever happens on Beetlejuice 2 just cross your fingers and toes and watch this space, but for the time being we can see Dark Shadows in the UK on May 11th 2012...so until then all Tim Burton fans including Beetlejuice fans we'll just have to wait with baited breath to see what happens with this sequel.

Twilight is going to be a musical...well sort of
I have just perused Entertainment Weekly's website and found this...thanks to POPWATCH blog.
This piece of news was bound to happen at some point with how mad everybody went for these films...these include the mad as hatters Twihards and no doubt at this news they will be going absolutly more hyper than they went when these films were originally out at cinemas all over the world.
According to POPWATCH:
"Twilight:The Musical will make it's off Broadway as a one night only staged reading on January 16th,and the proceeds will benefit the charity Blessings In A Backpack."
Although, I have just read on the official website for this that this musical will be a parody of all the Twilight films so I've just thought that on one hand the Twihards may be very excited to hear that this is actually going to happen but on the other hand they may not be so happy that this will yet again be taking the micky out of all the films...as I'm thinking that the first parody film about these films was the hilarious Vampire's Suck that was done by the people who work on the Scary Movie films was something that must have got them angry...but they must have to accept that this mentioned parody film was absolutly hilarious and well in the orginal first film you can see where there might be some comedy gold and in this film they definitly sniffed this gold out...this is my opinion of course (really don't want to offend these Twihards as they are absolutly mental).
The official website states that this musical will:
"...examine our culture of obsession through the story of teenager outsider Bella Swan who risks everything when she embarks on a star-crossed romance with Vampire Edward Cullen..."
If there is anyone who wants to see this one night showing then here is the link:

More Batnews for you!
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly...their latest issue sees 4 new pictures of The Dark Knight Rises including putting a picture on this issue's front over of Christian Bale in the Batsuite.
These again will wet the appetite of any Batman fan, including me who absolutly loves all of the Tim Burton Batman films including the up-to-date Christopher Nolan films...this I relise may make me sound a bit weird as the Tim Burton films are very dark and look as if the story of the comic book has just jumped off the page and has been transfered on to the big screen,-this being because all the props on these movies are very theatrical and over the top-.
But these things are why I love all the Tim Burton movies!
Anyhew....these are the pictures from the new issue of Entertainment Weekly:

It is also said by Empire Magazine that on the inside of this issue there is a refirmation that Christopher Nolan will be going against most movie goers wishes and will not be editing over Bane's lines in the film as you all probably know by now that moviegoers who have already seen this...whoever these people they don't know how lucky to have already seen this as I would admittedly give anything even maybe my right arm to see this before its looooooong awaited release date on July 20th 2012, have been complaining that they can't even hear what Bane is saying...but I don't think whoever these people are who have complained have realised the bigger picture of this.
But to be honest what good is this bigger picture of the mask Bane wears being part of his character and it adds to the ferociousness and scariness of his character when you can't even hear what he's suppose to be saying?

Mission Impossibe:Ghost Protocol soundtrack
Finally after seeing for a few weeks now the trailer for this fantastic movie that I went to the cinema last night to see...all I'm going to say so as not to spoil any of this for anyone who hasn't seen this yet is that this is amazing and it really is a boy's playground as there is everything in this film that you could possibly imagine, amazing fast cars, impossible stunts, going all over the world and as usual Tom Cruise having to help out the IMF.
I have to be honest that when I was sat in the cinema,-as I am a massive fan of the Mission Impossible set of films-, that I was like a kid at Christmas...I was very very excited and I do have to say that I think this film is on the same level as the first and second Mission Impossible, (I'm not including the third one as this one isn't my favourite one as I don't think it was very good), and this really didn't disappoint!
The stunt where Tom Cruise jumps out of the tallest building in the world in Dubai didn't disappoint either...this was where I really felt like I was having an episode of vertigo and my palms were very sweaty! But as well as this there even was a moment when I saw the futuristic looking BMW that they use when they fly to Mumbai, India in a G5 airoplane and this is just ridiculous...as this car is just fantastic, it has the winged doors that Lamborghini's have on them and on the inside of the windowscreen this a big gadget...think of the table in James Bond:Casino Royale...pretty cool!
But I think the coolest gadget in this is the robot that is used by the techno wizard that allows you to float...yes I said float as all you have to do is wear an odd looking chainmail suit and place the robot underneath you and drive it where you want to move and it looks like your effortlessly floating or to put it another way...you can look like your pretending to be superman.
Anyhew...I have just thought that I am getting away from the point.
All the time I see this trailer I keep hearing this really good song in the background of this and I always think this is a really good song but I never know who sings it...until yesterday morning when I saw this again and I thought that I recognised Pink singing on the track.
And just now I have found out that the track on the trailer and on the soundtrack to this film that I really really want to see again...and I think that when my sisters come off their holiday that I will have to take them as I can tell that their just going to love it as much as me.

24 the movie...it's suppose to be happening!
Details on this are at the moment sketchy...but what is know is that the film has from intel on the film that Empire Magazine picked up last year in December, development of the film will be going ahead and now the new intel of this film is that the timeframe for this film will be six months after the end of what happened in series 8.
Also Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) will return for this film.
Also in a post on their website dated 6th December last year the main man himself Kiefer Sutherland let slip to Empire that Billy Ray shot a pitch and a screenplay to Fox last January but unfortunatly this was shot down and rejected, this as Kiefer Sutherland said "was to be expected".
And there were reports that initial shooting for this upcoming movie was going to take place in April of this year, but there is just a few things that need to get sorted before this can get the greenlight and come onto our cinema screens, these being:
Billy Ray's initial screenplay has had some additional work done to it by Mark Bombark who is set to be the new director on the Wolverine film...I really can't belive that after all the trouble that that film had with directors that this film is still going to get made, and I have to say I saw the first Wolverine film...this was in my opinion utterly ridonkulous!...I mean that it was good of their screenwriter to write in elements to keep this film tied to the other X:MEN film like why he can'y remeber who he is, who put adamantine on his bones and how the Colonel in the army became involved with the X:MEN.
But other parts of the movie like Logan having a brother who was another X:MEN called Sabbertooth that was working with the Colonel...and the main story of how Sabbertooth faked the death of Logan's girlfriend so as to keep him away from the Colonel but at the same time as this he wanted to kill Logan.
I have just thought that if there is anyone who is reading this and you haven't seen X:MEN Origins: Wolverine then I am sorry for spoiling this for you but I think that you should stay away from this when you next decide what films to watch on TV or when you go into your local HMV store or online at Amazon or Itunes....JUST STAY AWAY!
Anyhew...Brian Grazer is all set to produce this film but Fox hasn't even decided on their shortlist of five directors who it will be that gets to direct this film.
But the storyline for this is that Jack Bauer will be making his ends justify the means in Europe.
So until there is an official announcement from Fox about more details of this film these details could get changed at any moment and these details are all we have to go on which in the grand scheme of things is not much.
Also Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) will return for this film.

First Picture of The Bourne Legacy!
Yesterday when I was doing my usual perusal of the movie website Empire Magazine to my excitment there was the first picture still from the new Bourne film...YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
The picture is to be the first of what I can only hope for many many picture stills from the new movie....and hopefully this will lead to the wait for it...the long awaited trailer! This is by all intents and purposes going to hopefully be as good or even better than the other Bourne films with Matt Damon in.
If this picture is anything to go on then I think I can say with some certainty that there will be hopefully a lot of big build ups filled with lots of tension in them then fast paced action sequences that are,-I'm hoping as I am a huge fan of the Matt Damon original set of films and as well as feeling really disappointed that Matt Damon wasn't going to be returning for this next film as he in my opinion made this set of films, and feeling why he wasn't going to return but now I know why he won't because if I can remember rightly I read somewhere that the studio wanted an 11 month turnaround for all aspects of the film and that's just not possible...and they also replaced him without telling him so as he said in an interview with GQ Magazine he read that he had been replaced on the internet-, as good as the fight scenes were in the original.

Now that I have managed to learn when this film should be hitting our screens....August 17th so like me this date should be either in your diaries so as you Bourne fans like me don't forget this date or it should already be stuck in your heads so that you can't forget it...but if your anything like me then you'll definitly need a back up just in case you forget this so definitly put this one in your diaries!
As you already know that Jeremy Renner from Katherine Bigalow's award winning Hurt Locker will be playing another CIA- trained operative, but this time his character Aaron Cross works for an even deadlier programme than Treadstone.
As well as this Jeremy Renner has said in an interview he gave with Empire Magazine on 22nd November last year that:
"For fans of the franchise, (the Bourne Legacy) has that same ticking clock, but it's a new programme and new characters".
And Renner also let slip that Treadstone will be involved but not as we know it, he explained that:
"...it's that same deal, it's just a new set of agents with a different leash. It's the same tempo and pace but more expansive and bigger. The differences are pretty vast but you'll know it's a Bourne movie."
So I guess this film is going to be one hell of a Bourne movie...but we will have to see if this one lves up to the Matt Damon originals or if it is better than these Bourne films.
The picture is to be the first of what I can only hope for many many picture stills from the new movie....and hopefully this will lead to the wait for it...the long awaited trailer! This is by all intents and purposes going to hopefully be as good or even better than the other Bourne films with Matt Damon in.
If this picture is anything to go on then I think I can say with some certainty that there will be hopefully a lot of big build ups filled with lots of tension in them then fast paced action sequences that are,-I'm hoping as I am a huge fan of the Matt Damon original set of films and as well as feeling really disappointed that Matt Damon wasn't going to be returning for this next film as he in my opinion made this set of films, and feeling why he wasn't going to return but now I know why he won't because if I can remember rightly I read somewhere that the studio wanted an 11 month turnaround for all aspects of the film and that's just not possible...and they also replaced him without telling him so as he said in an interview with GQ Magazine he read that he had been replaced on the internet-, as good as the fight scenes were in the original.
Now that I have managed to learn when this film should be hitting our screens....August 17th so like me this date should be either in your diaries so as you Bourne fans like me don't forget this date or it should already be stuck in your heads so that you can't forget it...but if your anything like me then you'll definitly need a back up just in case you forget this so definitly put this one in your diaries!
As you already know that Jeremy Renner from Katherine Bigalow's award winning Hurt Locker will be playing another CIA- trained operative, but this time his character Aaron Cross works for an even deadlier programme than Treadstone.
As well as this Jeremy Renner has said in an interview he gave with Empire Magazine on 22nd November last year that:
"For fans of the franchise, (the Bourne Legacy) has that same ticking clock, but it's a new programme and new characters".
And Renner also let slip that Treadstone will be involved but not as we know it, he explained that:
"...it's that same deal, it's just a new set of agents with a different leash. It's the same tempo and pace but more expansive and bigger. The differences are pretty vast but you'll know it's a Bourne movie."
So I guess this film is going to be one hell of a Bourne movie...but we will have to see if this one lves up to the Matt Damon originals or if it is better than these Bourne films.

David Beckham does 'Bodywear' range for H & M
Thanks to GQ Magazine David Beckham has done an exclusive 'bodywear' collection with H & M, this collection features briefs, longjohns, vests and T-shirts that are in nine different styles, these will be available in 1,800 of H&M's high street stores worldwide and this collection will also be available on H&M's online store.
This collection of David Beckham will be available to purchase on the 2nd January and this deal between David Bechham and H&M has been described as 'longterm'...so hopefully this means that there will be more things to come from David Beckham's 'Bodywear' range, or if these designs get a good feedback and no doubt there will be a huge feedback that will be probably if not bigger than just be as big as the Versace range of clothes was...I unfortunatly heard of this Versace range of clothes and everywhere was sold out in the first 2 minuites of these clothes going on sale...so this time if you really want to get your hands on these clothes,-as they don't just include underwear, vests, T-shirts but they also have pjamas-, then you better get in there quick stich as you really don't want this to happen to you!
All these clothes in the collection are as GQ Magazine describe it as:
"Unlike some celebrity cash-ins we could name and perhaps inspired by the example of his Brtish Fashion Award winning wife, Becks' collection is about quality and performance..."
Thankfully though by the sounds of it this collection of clothes has not only quality and performance in mind but there is also comfort in mind as there is chafe-free seams on these clothes as well as the right amount of cotton and elastine...so this sounds like all this range will look just as sharp as the clothes are that David Beckham wears on a daily basis but they also have comfort added to this sharpness.
So you could say that this is smart comfy clothes that you can just wear lounging about in your home or if you wanted you could wear the pure cotton PJ's or henley style T-shirts out of the home!

These are the pure cotton PJ's that are priced at £19.99...£20.00 is pricy but they are pure cotton so I imagine that these will be very comfy, cosy and will no doubt keep you warm!


These are the long jogns that along with the men's underwear have David Beckham's name on the front of them....these are still £19.99.


These are the Henley shirts that are £19.99 and the shirts in this collection are £9.99.
