Start your engines rolling be the first to get your hands on the NEW! Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise!

I was just perusing the web when I came across this on Collider.com this:



And this definitely piqued my interest as just like it says in the picture "Furby has entered the World Of Star Wars", and on the one hand as an avid fan of all the Star Wars films I think this is cool, cute as it looks to me at least just like Gizmo from "Gremlins" and I imagine it also sings like Gizmo but this time it sings the Star Wars theme tune, and I don't see this getting wet and sprouting any nastier versions of itself like Stripe was in "Gremlins", just probably if it gets damaged by water that it will probably stop working.

But...on the other hand I had one of these when I was little when they were all the rage and I have to say they are very demanding little toys that I instantly after about 10 minuites lost interest in, as they just keep perching at you like a bird "Play with me" and they do become annoying, but as I do love Star Wars this does tempt me...but if I can guess the response of my parents would be a definite and resounding "NO Grow Up!", and it is very possible that if I did own this along with any other of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens  merchandise that Disney, LucasFilm and Hasbro will be celebrating as part of "Force Friday", which starts at 12:01 am on September 4th 2015 where fans can visit mass retailers,  Disney stores world wide as well as from DisneyStore.com a wide range of all things StarWars from toys, collectables, books, comics, ebooks and apps, apparel and lifestyle accessories.

     
           

These are just some of the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise that new and old lovers of this franchise can get their hands on...but I think that when the time comes for this " Force Friday" there will definitely be some things said about the Star Wars StormTrooper guns and the "Put Together BladeBuilders" as these to me anyway do look like on some of the ways you could put them together look a bit lethal, especially the way you could put these together to look like Poseidon's,-in case you don't know who this is, Poseidon was the Greek God who controlled the sea's or in case you haven't seen the film "Percy Jackson and The Lightening Thief"- fork.

If you want to get your hands on some of these toys you can go to:

www.starwars-hasbro.com

So if you want to get your hands on any of these toys you better be quick as I'm sure that every other Star Wars fan will want to get this just as much as the next fan including myself so I would suggest you get in their fast as I bet you there will be a frenzy for these things juust like there was when the Harry Potter books came out, or even when a new Iphone comes out or when a new game in a series of Xbox games or PlayStation games comes out.

And its not just me that thinks that these 'toys' are well worth owning for every Star Wars fan new and old, but according to Josh Silverman, executive vice president, global licensing of Disney Consumer Products thinks that these products are:

"Every lightsaber, every action figure, every LEGO set tells a story for generations of Star Wars fans, and this global event is a celebration of those stories."

Don't forget that "Star Wars: Episode VII-The Force Awakens" will be released in the UK on 18th December 2015...if you are in a different country and want to know the alternative release date please go to IMDb.com and the Star Wars page and click on the release date underneath the title to the page.

SPECTRE is coming to cinemas...now get the look!

Today as I logged onto Twitter I saw that the original tailors for 007 and the many actors that have played him in the Bond films over the years excluding Daniel Craig as all Bond fans including me, who is a massive fan of all the Bond films especially the Sean Connery James Bond films know by now that Tom Ford designs all the new James Bond suits, Anthony Sinclair has a new special offer that has definitely piqued my interest and will definitely interest every Bond fan like myself.

For years me, my dad and the rest of my family have been massive fans of all things James Bond and I was very lucky to have found Anthony Sinclair's website as well as Bond Lifestyle's website that has all things Bond including the most important of all information that all Bond fans should have...the recipe for a Vesper cocktail, as well as information like Anthony Sinclair on how to get the look of 007, where to get it, information on the types of gadgets and where to get them, also information on all manner of tropical locations where 007 has been filmed as well as what cars were used in these films.

Anyhew...Anthony Sinclair's offer of the day is how every Bond fan can now get their hands on the newly designed Conduit Cut Ready-To-Wear Suit in either navy blue or grey sharkskin, Prince Of Wales Tartan or Charcoal Grey - both the grey sharkskin and the Prince Of Wales Tartan in my opinion has the more classic Sean Connery James Bond look to it, whereas the navy blue Conduit Cut that is the classic cut James Bond Suit, has the more modern Daniel Craig look to it-, and this look can be topped off with one of their quality crisp white double cuff cocktail shirt or the single cocktail shirt, one of Anthony Sinclair's crisp white linen pocket square's and a solid coloured neck tie...all you have to do is choose the size you want or even if you want to try before you buy the Conduit Cut Suit, you can book an appointment at Anthony Sinclair's London shop on 34 Montagu Square London, W1H 2LJ...nice day trip out for everyone if I do say so myself!

Choose the style of suite that you prefer, which colour of linen pocket square that you would like as well as which solid coloured neck tie you'd prefer then when you've done this and added all the items into your shopping cart enter the coupon code CCSUIT and the discount will be applied so you can receive all of these fabulously quality designed items for £700.00 (£583.00 excl. VAT)...I know this may seem a tad expensive but I can assure you that as I have bought some of these quality designed items for my Dad as presents, every penny is well worth it and every event you wear these items to you will look and feel just like your James Bond himself! As well as definitely adding the WOW factor to any and all occasions when are where you have to wear a suite!

Here's the link to see all of these items for yourself:

And for those who haven't seen the trailer yet for the new SPECTRE film, here it is the link below:

I have to say that I've not really seen this second trailer for myself properly yet but probably like every Bond fan I have seen all the build up behind-the-scenes footage for this film and just like that footage this trailer looks fantastic, really action packed and I love the new Aston Martin DB10...but I am sad to hear that this will be sold after the film is released on 26th October 2016 in the UK according to IMDB.com, (for all other release dates in other countries please go to IMDB.com's website and click on the release date on the page for SPECTRE).

xxx3 on it's way...So says Vin Diesel!

I'm baaaack...well slowly coming back I'd like to say, although posts from here may come a bit slower than before but I'm going to try and see how I feel just after one of these posts as I'm still under the weather for now.

Anyhew...while I've been not blogging I've not been too far away from the news of all things movie, music and celebrity as if I hadn't had anything to do with music, films or contact with the internet I would definitely be climbing the walls of my bedroom whilst I've been bedbound and unable to do anything whilst I am ill.

Anyhew...Just as I have decided to blog today ComicBook.com has come up with this piece of exciting news that has definitely brightened up my day. I have to say though I was not that surprised to finally hear this piece of news being announced as the other day I was on Facebook and on my dashboard it came up from Vin Diesel's Facebook page I saw this photo:



That was posted on August 21st as the pages' updated cover photo, so you can imagine that when I first saw this I had a sneaking suspicion that there was something lurking under the radar and that that something would have to do with XXX.

And it looks like thanks to ComicBook.com that this sneaking suspicion was right...or it could just be me.

Anyway....according to ComicBook.com Vin Diesel has now officially announced via his official Instagram account:

"While I was filming XXX, guys on set called me Air Diesel...The time to return has come."

He go's on to say:

"Filming starts December in the Philippeans".

Might just be me but this turn of phrase "The time to return has come" reminds me of the old PlayStation Lion King game where the baboon character would say in the part of the game where you had to swing on the monkey's tail and it would have in the background the song "I just can't wait to be king" "The King Has Returned".

Anyhew... according to ComicBook.com this would be the third film in the XXX franchise,- with the second "XXX: The Next Level" which starred Ice Cube as the new XXX and ex soldier that was serving time in prison and is then contacted by Samuel L. Jackson whilst in prison so as he can go on a secret mission to stop a inner agency power struggle where William Defoe plays Secretary of Defense George Deckard who plans to use some of his task force friends to help him kill the president at a particular meeting with all the world leaders at a major conference about passing a bill in congress that would stop gangs from getting money into the country and then he would step into taking over the United States, this in my opinion wasn't nearly as good as the first XXX with Vin Diesel as Xander Cage the adrenaline junkie who is internationally recognised for performing out there stunts from stealing a car then crashing it over a bridge and then jumping out of it whilst the car is nearly going to hit the water below but with a parachute but still good family fun watchable action adventure-, which bombed at the box office and only made $71m globally or as Google has just converted for me £45116891.07, which was well below the $131m budget for it.

And as well as this there was the classic one liner from the first XXX "Welcome To The Xander Zone".

But saying this though, ComicBook.com did say that this original film was budgeted at $70m or £44490630.10m and made at the world wide box office $277m or £176106708.33m.

And looking at IMDB.com the working title or the actual title for this film I'm not sure for this film is "The Return of Xander Cage", with the story of Xander being left for dead after an incident but comes back for a secret tough mission with his handler Augustus Gibbons who in the other two films was played by Samuel L. Jackson.

This could all change though by the time it comes out though so your guess is as good as mine in what the title, story and release date is for this new film...but for now it will be good to see Vin Diesel back in the Xander zone,-I'm sorry I just couldn't resist!

Baywatch is finally getting a movie!

I'm back! After weeks of sitting in my bed feeling ill, taking pills and just basically feeling crap I've decided to get back on the blogging horse so to speak.

Anyhew...getting back to the matter at hand, yesterday I saw on Empire Magazine's website that Baywatch was going to be getting it's very own movie with Zac Efron.

According to The Hollywood Reporter Seth Gordon who directed "Horrible Bosses" will be directing this for Paramount Picture's with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions producing in some capacity, along with Beau Flynn (who is according to IMDb.com most noted for producing "The Number 23" which starred Jim Carey, executive producer on "Requiem For A Dream" which starred Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly among other films), and Ivan Reitman who will also be producing this film.

Also according to The Hollywood Reporter production for this could kick off in early February 2016 with a 2017 release date all being well.

Also according to The Hollywood Reporter Zac Efron will be a busy boy this year as not only has he been in negotiations to be in this movie, but he will be doing the movie press rounds to promote other movies that will be released in 2016 such as "Bad Neighbours 2" where he'll be reteaming up with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne where filming will be in Atlanta, also to be released in 2016 for Lionsgate Entertainment is "Dirty Grandpa" a road trip comedy which he will star alongside Robert De Niro, also according to The Hollywood Reporter Efron has just wrapped on production of 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment's comedy "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" which will see him alongside Adam Devine, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza.

So get ready to have your cinemas filled with Zac Efron in 2016.

The most recent draft of this script that was written by Damien Shannon and Mark Swift centres on Dwayne Johnson playing a by-the-book very serious lifeguard who is forced to team up with rule flouting hot head played by Zac Efron in order to save their beach from environmental destruction at the hands of an oil tycoon.

But judging by some of the reruns of Baywatch I've seen you can't have a proper Baywatch film without comedy, the slow motion running along the beach or a little bit of action from every now and again big storylines such as this storyline would suggest ...and from reading this most recent draft there could be a lot of laughs in this and it does sound like it could have the potential to be a dare I say it a new stereotypical buddy comedy...and now that I think about it, these types of films are not just proving to be popular with cinema goers like "Ted", the "Fast and Furious" films, "The Other Guys" etc etc and this popularity of cinema goers did translate into lots and lots of money earned at the box office as well as lots and lots of money for the studios that put up the money to make these kinds of films.

So I'm thinking that Paramount Picture's is hoping that this film will make them lots and lots of money...but now that I also think about it "Ted" and the "Fast and Furious" films although the Fast and Furious films were more about the cars and the going undercover in the underground street racing scene to steal things but everybody that's seen it and is a fan of these films including me knows that it's really about the bond between all of Vin Diesel's character's crew Toretto including the late Paul Walker and how these characters are more than just the stealing things from trucks more the black and white criminals that they're made out to be, they could be seen as a kind of buddy film these films did spawn sequels and in the case of "Fast and Furious" a film franchise so I'm thinking that Paramount are going to be keeping their fingers crossed hoping that this film either gets a sequel or it spawns a new film franchise.

This is an apology to the readers.

I apologise for the non postings on here lately and I was going to post on here sooner as I was worried that the readers of this music/film news blog including any music artists that have contacted me on my various social media pages- Twitter, Facebook etc-, would be getting frustrated that there was no new news about any music/films and would therefore stop reading this blog, but I see today when I log on to the blog that this looks not to be the case.

So anyhew back to the point...I apologise for not writing on this blog sooner as unfortunately I have got a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) in my lower leg and am in a lot of pain so I have been given all manner of pain pills which have all manner of lovely side effects so I am unable to write anything further on here because of all these lovely side effects.
