Cannon advert song

After listening to this new Cannon advert and getting really frustrated at not knowing who or what the band was that sung this thanks to Youtube I've finally found this....the record is called young blood by the naked and famous

Thank god I have found this track as I was literally going crazy everytime I saw this advert as I kept thinking that it was The History of Apple Pie but I was luckily proved wrong and now I can listen all I want to this track as I really like this track...now I've just got to find out another song that is used in another advert so fingers crossed that I can find this one.

I think this now calls for a last trip to my local HMV store and finding the album quick sharpish as I'd love to find out what the rest of their songs are like as this song sounds so good.

So watch this space...there will surely be a album review for this coming just as soon as I can get my hands on this album, but I've just thought that there are other ways to get this album and others that I would love to hear so I might have to use these as unfortunatly for me my local HMV is all the way in Poole, Dorset and I live in the opposite direction to this! Arg! What is a girl to do?

Bond news! (update)

Here are the Just Jared photos taken from behind the scenes on Skyfall:

   

Thank god for the medium of Twitter as I would not be able to give you up to date news straight from the press conference that meant I could give you guys who read this blog highly sesnsitive news like this, but now there has been another update, this picture above of martini's has been taken from one of the sets of the film and now there is the other update of Helen McCrory is to play a member of Parlianment called Clair Dowar...don;t say I don't keep you bond fans updated!
These pictures were from the London set of the new Sam Mendes directed film, and they just show Daniel Craig walking through Trafalgar Square and if I have to say these have Mr. Bond looking rather dapper with what I can only assume is a Tom Ford suit.

Those I Am Rogue doesn't think that this reveals very much as it really doesn't it could suggest as Daniel Craig is looking more shaken than clean shaven that Mr. Bond has had to fly somewhere around the world probably to Turkey or to the other locations where Skyfall will be filming, that Bond's investigation into Quantum has taken a turn.

Sorry for the pun but I just couldn't  resist.

Also according to Empire Magazine there will be a Q...this will be Ben Whishaw. If you don't immediantly recognise this actors name then I will help fill in the gaps for you. You will probably recgnise him from the latest BBC Two drama The Hours or from the film Perfume:The Story Of a Serial Killer.

This to me sounds like a really good idea as Ben Wishaw has played in the past very nerdy characters or this character could be played really different as there has been a younger actor that has been cast for this role then I guess that this will be 21st Century up...given Q a very fresh faced look.

This will have all the regular faces in this ie Dame Judi Dench as M and Daniel Craig as James Bond, but there are the new faces of Naomi Harris, Berenice Mahlohe, Javier Bardem and in case you haven't been following the press conference on Twitter like me you'll know that Ola Rapace, Helen McCroy, Albert Finney, Ralph Fiennes will also star.

And also according to Twitter the synopsis for the film is that Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her MI6 comes under attack, and Bond must destroy the threat no matter what the cost.

I can't wait for this to go to cinemas...but it was an absoloutly exciting to listen to the highlights of the press conference of this new James Bond film that will be out in cinemas on October 26th 2013.

Bat news update!

After a few days away in the big city I thought that I was really behind on any news with up and coming movies but turns out that all the news on any new movies was not as exciting as this and some very exciting set photos from the new Skyfall film.

There have been reports from I Am Rogue that this latest Batman will be set eight years after the last film with Bruce Wayne/Batman looking a little bit older and a little worst for wear as Christopher Nolan has said in an interview with Empire Magazine that he has given Batman:

"With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we're testing Batman both physically as well as mentally..."


I Am Rogue reported that Lindy Hemming the costume designer on all of the Batman films explained the design behind Bane's muzzle like mask saying that

"He was injured early in his story. He is suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can't survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two canisters".


This goes some way into explaining what the thing on Tom Hardy's face was, as when I first saw the costume for Bane I was really bewildered as to why there was a muzzle on him. But now this has been said I can see why there was a muzzle idea put into the mix of what costume for Bane to wear in this movie, but this gives the character more of a back story than just what I was thinking the first time I saw this costume which was "he's only wearing this because he's the villian of the film and the muzzle looks ominous and scary as hell!".

But from what Tom Hardy says in how he describes Bane it paints the picture that can only be attributed to Christopher as if you thought that this costume of Bane was scary and that from the pictures of Tom Hardy looking considerably bigger and more like he looked in Bronson that this new villain was going to be a real handful for the caped crusader...sorry for this but I thought as this phrase hadn't been used for a long time that I might as well as dust it off and use it just this once.

"He's brutal, brutal. His expedient delivery of brutality. And you know he is a big dude who's incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result- based and oriented fight style. The result is clear. It's "Fuck off and die." Quicker. Quicker. Everything is thought out way before. He's hit you, he's already hit somebody else. It's not about fighting. It's just about carnage with Bane. He's a smashing machine".


You can pretty much guess from this description that Christopher Nolan has brought this character rip roaring into the 21st Century and with some added grittiness to him..well if your going to update a character that is going to be Batman's arch enemy why not do it like this.

But just to keep in our minds that although Tom Hardy plays this villain with as Christopher Nolan says in this interview

"He's found a way to play a character who is enormous and powerful with a sort of calm to it, but is able to be incredible fast at times. Unpredictable. He just has a raw threat to him that's extraordinary."


Tom Hardy is still pretty much a big fan of Batman and no doubt you'll all be going Aw! at this as he also said in this interview that he thinks that Christian Bale's Batman looks "...really intimidating...", and that there "...is a three year old in me saying "Oh god that's Batman! That's Batman and he's going to hit me! But I love Batman! Then I look in the mirror and I hit him back. Twice as hard!".


With this added info I am literally bursting at the seems to go and see this film when it comes out which if your still not aware of this then it is out on July 20th 2012.

Lynx End of the World song

Its being driving me crazy every time I see the new Lynx End Of The World advert as I really like this song but it always has the same effect ...it gets stuck in my head and I always want to know who sings this song but I was just getting sidetracked from work trying to find out who sings the song via Youtube.com

So...thanks to Youtube and LynxNewZealand this song is called 'No Man Walks Alone' and it has been specifically recorded for Lynx.

If like me this song also gets stuck in your head then here is the Youtube link to hear this:

Where's wally is having a film made!

Epire Magazine has said that in 2009 Illumination Entertainment bought the rights to make this much beloved character of the children's books Where's Wally? come to the silver screen but now MGM has now bought these rights to make Where's Wally into a feature film.

MGM's Jonathon Glickman (President of MGM's Motion Picture Group) secured these rights to make Where's Wally into a family live action adventure film...this sounds very different to the books that I grew up with, but I'll go with it as this may sound completely different to the books but I guess for it to be on the big screen there has to be something other than the big crowds of people and you have to guess where Wally is, as this would be very boring and wouldn't make for a very exciting screen movie.

Anyhewfrui...in an official statement MGM have said that:

"We are thrilled to be bringing the search for Waldo (this is what the Americans Wally) to the big screen . Along with our partners at Classic Media, we look forward to making a worldwide adventure that will appeal to Where's Waldo? fans of all ages"....


"Waldo is the most searched for character in the world" ( said Eric Ellenbogen co-CEO of Classic Media)

"With thanks to MGM, fans everywhere will find Waldo in movie theaters with his motion picture debut"


Martin Handford who created this world famous character that was first published in 1987, his business partner  Mike Gornall along with Eric Ellenbogen will be executive producers.


And MGM's Cssidy Lange will oversee this future project as a producer.


I'm half excited by this news...half find this news really funny but really really hope that this comes to fruition. 

Woody Woodpecker is coming to the big screen

According to the Hollywood Reporter Illumination Entertainment (Universal Pictures animation house) wants to make him a film star...and they've been talking to the writers of the legendary Blades Of Glory John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.

This will be a feature film that these writers are working on...but knowing how hilarious Blades Of Glory is this feature film that is in the pipeline for todays kids will be the funnest thing ever and knowing that I am a big kid myself and knowing that Blades Of Glory are on this I really want to go see this when it comes out.

This new film will hopefully modernise Woody and for Universal launch a new franchise.

So watch this space for more info as this is all that is doing the rounds on the film news websites.

Doctor Who to become a film

Variety and MTV Splash have recently reported that David Yates who directed the last Harry Potter installment reports that:

"...David Yates is teaming up with the BBC to turn its iconic sci-fi TV series "Doctor Who" into a big screen franchise..."

Variety has also reported that David Yeates "...has been developing a "Doctor Who" movie with Jane Tranter..." (she is head of the LA based Worlwide Productions).

But hold your horses Doctor Who fans...they are reported to be looking at writers for this new probable film franchise and David Yates wants to spend two or three years making sure that both get this right for the film, but he has admitted that eventhough,- Steven Kloves who wrote the Harry Potter films and was part of his team-, "...captured the British sensibility perfectly, so we are looking at American writers too..."

I'm guessing David Yates had to say this in his interview with the Daily Variety so as not to offend any script writers from both sides of the ponds as I'm guessing if there was a script writer that they had in mind and he was from England and he had said something that was offensive to English people then I'm guessing that that writer wouldn't want to work with him therefore a lot of money would have to be thrown in their direction as well as a lot of grovelling.

However, that said Yates has said that:

"...Russel T. Davies and then Steven Moffat have done their own transformations, which were fantastic, but we have to visuakput aside and start from scratch..."

So, this will be very different to what we have all seen so far from previous Doctor Who episodes...but this is understandable that he wants to do something different with Doctor Who as if he did a Doctor Who film with all the visual effects that are used in the BBC episodes of Doctor Who then you'd probably sit there in the cinema disappointed that he didn't do something really cinematic and out there as its going to be on the big screen so this normally equalls to big budgets where big ideascan get free reign.

So we will have to wait two or three years for this final Doctor Who film.
