Andrew Garfield/The Amazing Spider-man Trailer 3: Haunted Son
11 May 2012 10:13 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Andrew Garfield, The Amazing Spider-Man trailer "This life is not an easy one," says Andrew Garfield / Peter Parker in this latest The Amazing Spider-Man trailer. (Please scroll down.) "I’ve made enemies,” adds Parker / Garfield. “Powerful enemies. I’ve put those I love in danger. But the one thing that has haunted me my entire life is finding the truth about my parents." One of Peter Parker’s (aka Spider-Man’s) enemies is The Lizard (Rhys Ifans). Another is Emma Stone’s father, who has 500 cops looking for poor Peter. With The Lizard, the monolithic Oscorp Corporation, and the useless cops after him, what’s a DC superhero to do? Call Marvel’s The Avengers? Nope. Come and get the truth about his parents. And weave a web or two throughout New York City along the way. In addition to Andrew Garfield, Rhys Ifans, and Emma Stone, The Amazing Spider-Man »

The Amazing Spider-Man: trailer analysis
4 May 2012 12:10 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
There’s loads of stuff going on in the latest trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. James takes a closer look to find out what it all means...
We’re now only weeks away from the release of The Amazing Spider-Man, and that means there’s just about time for one more trailer before the big day. Let’s see what we learned from this, our latest glimpse at the Spider-Man reboot!
Spider-Angst
From the first line of the trailer, we’re given the impression that maybe being Spider-Man isn’t actually that much fun. Especially when you’re an orphan And your girlfriend’s father has the entire NYPD hunting you And you feel responsible for turning your friend/mentor into a man-sized lizard. “This life is not an easy one” indeed.
Never mind, though, because angst has always been a big part of the Spider-Man mythos. With the film »
'The Amazing Spider-Man' trailer: More glimpses of the Lizard, but who's that mysterious man?
3 May 2012 5:54 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The last few trailers for The Amazing Spider-Man have leaned on the notion that this reboot of the Spidey franchise reexamines how Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) became the famed web-slinger. Perhaps sensing some audience fatigue with the idea of seeing yet another superhero origin story, the newest (and likely last) Amazing Spider-Man trailer takes an intriguing new approach. “This life is not an easy one,” says a weary Peter in the opening moments of the trailer, and we see him already hard at work as Spider-Man — which is to say, the assumption is that you already know who Spider-Man is, »

We take a closer look at the latest action-packed sneak peek.

Holy web-slingers, Spidey fans: Another trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man" has arrived!
While there are several familiar scenes from the first two epic teasers weaved into this exciting new two-and-a-half minutes, director Marc Webb has introduced a bunch of intriguing new elements into the new footage.
Here are five key scenes from the latest trailer:
Webb told us previously that the fact that Peter Parker is an orphan will play heavily into the story of this film, which is very much exemplified by the multiple "lonely boy" shots of Parker standing atop various buildings or walking by himself through the city streets with a forlorn look on his face. Not to mention Andrew Garfield's voice-over: "This life is not an easy one. I've made enemies, »
Amelia Bullmore: 'I like to think that I don't look like those people'

The Twenty Twelve and Scott & Bailey star reveals why she is so rarely recognised in the street
With her twin roles as Kay Hope, the prickly head of sustainability in the BBC2 Olympic satire Twenty Twelve and the glorious Dci Gill Murray in ITV1's excellent police drama series Scott & Bailey, Amelia Bullmore is currently one of the most inescapable faces on television. Yet barely a head turns when she slips into a lunchtime bar in Soho.
She's wearing the kind of bright casual outfit that neither Hope nor Murray could get away with, but you'd think that her distinctive features – she looks like Kristin Scott Thomas's impish younger sister – would draw attention. But she tells me that she's hardly ever recognised.
"I like to think – and I know it sounds stupid – that I don't look like those people," she explains. "It would be different if I was wearing »

European TV treats – and thoughts for UK television
27 April 2012 7:06 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Subtitled series are currently riding high in the UK – but which British shows are making a good impression with European audiences?
Being British can sometimes be embarrassing when you're travelling in Europe, meeting Dutch and Belgian people whose grasp of spoken English outstrips your own – and after three days at the Series Mania TV festival in Paris I've also found that knowledge and appreciation of British TV among other Europeans is pretty impressive. And in the UK, we too have rediscovered our fondness for television that comes with subtitles. And judging by the screenings and talks at Series Mania, there are plenty of good things to follow current favourites such as The Bridge.
French television, for those unfamiliar with it – Spiral (BBC4) and Braquo (FX) currently air in the UK – is nothing if not ballsy. Coming up on French small screens is Ainsi soient-ils (given the English name Churchmen), a »

'This Life': No more reunions, says Jack Davenport
18 April 2012 2:24 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
Jack Davenport has ruled out any future This Life reunions. The two series of the cult show originally ran in 1996 and 1997, and the cast reunited in 2007 for one-off special This Life + 10. Asked if there would ever be another revival, Davenport told Metro: "No. It was a nice little coda to check in with those characters ten years on but I don't think there's a need to do it again. "We were delighted to do it but knew the press would hammer it. We knew we'd be battered for the slightly Spinal Tap aspect of reforming but people wanted (more) »

'Coupling': Tube Talk Gold
17 March 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »
It's no secret that we here at Digital Spy are huge fans of Doctor Who and Sherlock. So when it came to this week's Tube Talk Gold, we decided to delve into the filmography of Steven Moffat and rediscovered his early-noughties sitcom Coupling. Yes, before he was sending Daleks at Matt Smith and leaving us all wondering how on earth Holmes survived that fall, Moffat was telling the story of six young things trying to get a grip of love and life in the city. It's a formula that we've seen tons of times before and since, so what is it about Coupling that sets it apart from the rest of the pack? Coupling: Originally broadcast from May 12, 2000 to June 14, 2004 Let's get this out of the way first of all. Yes, Coupling does sound exactly like Friends, Cold Feet, This Life, Seinfeld and all (more) »

New Clip from Altered States of Plaine Centers Around a Visitation; World Premiere Info
15 March 2012 11:46 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
It's been a year since last we heard anything about Nick Gaglia's Altered States of Plaine, but he got in touch this week to provide us with a new exclusive clip and also let us know when and where the sci-fi tinged thriller will be having its world premiere.
Altered States of Plaine will have its debut in May at the 2012 Fantaspoa International Fantastic Film Festival, the biggest genre film festival in Latin America, attracting over 7,000 viewers each year.
"It's an honour for Fantaspoa to hold the world premiere of Altered States of Plaine, the new film by Nick Gaglia. Instead of complaining about budget limitation to create this sci-fi film, Nick (who also co-wrote and co-produced) assembled an amazingly talented team that clearly have put their hearts into the project. In a film industry scenario where much has been done and we see a lot of sequels, remakes, »

Love Life: a TV romance to fall head over heels in love with?
13 March 2012 9:41 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Television love stories have given us some brilliant couples – so why aren't there more romantic dramas on screen?
We have fallen for Ross and Rachel; swooned over Adam and Rachel, and held our breath as Carrie and Big's relationship. And now ITV hopes viewers we will fall for another couple whose relationship is, well, complicated. But can writer Bill Gallagher's new drama Love Life, which tells the story of couple Joe (Rob James-Collier) and Lucy (Andrea Lowe) – in love, but wanting different things – prove that television romance is far from dead.
Compared with anything involving stethoscopes or blue lights and sirens, straightforward love stories are relatively rare on television. While romantic fiction does well in the book charts, and romantic films continue to be big draws for cinema (even if they star Jennifer Aniston) television tends to steer clear of wide-eyed lovey dovey stuff.

Your next box set: The Walking Dead
7 March 2012 4:26 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
With Andrew Lincoln leading the fight for survival, The Walking Dead is more than just a horribly gory zombie saga
Fans of the cult 90s flatshare drama This Life are in for a bit of a shock early on in The Walking Dead (FX), when Egg – or rather Andrew Lincoln, the actor who played him – shoots a young girl in the face. But this is a zombie drama, and the girl in question is already very much dead, even though she may still be shuffling around. Lincoln, in a hugely charismatic performance, plays Rick Grimes, an Atlanta police officer who, after being badly injured in a shootout, wakes from a coma in a suburban hospital to discover his town overrun with zombies. (These are very much off-the-shelf zombies: decomposing people who groan a lot and want to eat anyone left alive.)
With the army, police and government seemingly incapacitated, and »

Let Game of Thrones Reign Forever
18 February 2012 3:41 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The new season of Game of Thrones is nearly upon us and its fans are expecting great things. But with a huge costly production like this there’s always the fear that the network, in this case HBO, will pull the plug if ratings start to slide. Thrones should be immune; it’s a proven success and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t keep getting bigger and better – and follow George R. R. Martin’s hugely popular series of novels to the end. But other shows have fared less well, being abruptly cancelled and often leaving the fans feeling thoroughly dissatisfied.
So, in a rather clumsy and backward toast to a hopefully long and prosperous run for Game of Thrones, we’ll take a look at the top 5 most disappointing TV cancellations.
It goes without saying that this piece contains spoilers – but all the shows have been cancelled, »

Andrew Lincoln puts accent on drama with amazing double life in The Walking Dead
13 February 2012 9:38 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
With the second season of The Walking Dead set to resume on FX this Friday, February 17, star Andrew Lincoln has spoken about his amazing double life on the acclaimed horror series.
It's filmed in Peachtree City, Georgia, a place in America's Deep South where alligators can be kept as pets and golf carts are the most common form of transport.
There's an unsettling calm in the air, which makes the area an eerily apt setting for the modern-day zombie drama.
British actor Andrew Lincoln heads up the cast as Rick Grimes, a police sheriff attempting to lead a diverse band of survivors to safety, and he's made himself right at home in the Southern state.
The 38-year-old has decamped his wife and two young children to nearby Atlanta, grown used to the bugs, soaring temperatures and hearty comfort food and, from the moment he sets foot off the plane to »

Being Human, I'd say True Blood is in its Twilight years
3 February 2012 4:21 PM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Vampires, zombies and now fairies? Are R-Patz et al to blame for the current explosion of (un)deadly boring TV and film?
It's become passé to blame Twilight for everything, but that doesn't mean that Twilight isn't actually to blame for everything. Most bad things, if you work hard enough, can be traced back to Twilight. Doltish-looking skinny boys with silly hair? Twilight. The sinister creep of pro-abstinence policy across the global agenda? Twilight. Paramore? Definitely Twilight. Don't doubt this for a second: Twilight has an awful lot to answer for.
But Twilight's biggest crime – bigger than getting away with having a soggily submissive female as its lead character, bigger even than making grown women refer to themselves as "Team Jacob" without any trace of shame or irony – is what it's done to the undead. People used to be scared of the undead. Vampires used to frighten the hell out of people. »

The Secret of Crickley Hall
14 January 2012 12:53 PM, PST | ScreenTerrier | See recent ScreenTerrier news »
A BBC adaptation of James Herbert's best-selling ghost story, The Secret of Crickley Hall, a haunted house chiller, full of scares but underpinned by the moving tales of children and parents separated 70 years apart, is underway.
The three episode drama is to be directed by Joe Ahearne (Apparitions, Doctor Who, This Life) who has also written the script, for BBC Drama Production North, and is set for broadcast around Halloween 2012.
The story is about a family who relocate to a rain-swept house in a Devonshire town called Devil’s Cleave – It turns out that during World War II, the village was decimated by a flood. Crickley Hall was home to a group of poor orphans evacuated from London who lived under the care of the sadistic Augustus Cribben, who terrorised, starved and beat them. The orphans were seemingly washed away by the flood and now their lost spirits haunt the hall, »
