"This year he Really Is coming to town!" Studiocanal UK has revealed a new trailer for Santa Claus: The Movie, to promote their 4K re-release. "We're delighted to announce that a magical new 4k restoration of the perennial Christmas Classic, Santa Claus: The Movie, from director Jeannot Szwarc will return to cinemas this festive period" starting in late November. The film originally opened in 1985 for the holidays and became a favorite worldwide, though more commonly in the UK than the US. It's not the same as The Santa Clause with Tim Allen, or many of the other animated classics. Santa Claus: The Movie stars David Huddleston as Santa, Dudley Moore, John Lithgow, Judy Cornwell, Jeffrey Kramer, and many others.

An admiring nod to ’60s dream siren Daliah Lavi! American-International leaps into an epic Jules Verne comedy about a trip to the moon, a good-looking but slow and unfunny farce that must squeak by on the goodwill of its cast of comedians.

EastEnders actress Cheryl Fergison has confirmed that she does not expect her screen mother to return to the soap any time soon. Viewers will see Fergison's character Heather Trott giving birth to a healthy baby boy on the Walford drama next week, but the child's mean-spirited grandmother Queenie (Judy Cornwell) will not be present to share the happy moment. Asked if fans can expect Queenie to be back in Albert Square after hearing the news, Fergison told Digital Spy: "Not as far as I know.
