“Any way the wind blows”
Rami Malek is rock icon Freddie Mercury in this first look photo from the upcoming Twentieth Century Fox/New Regency film Bohemian Rhapsody.
Tuesday, September 5, which would have been the singer’s 71st birthday. He died at the age of 45 in November 1991.
The Bryan Singer-helmed film chronicles Queen from 1970, when Mercury teamed with Brian May and Roger Taylor, until the band’s performance at Live Aid in 1985, six years before the singer died of complications from AIDS.
Their 1975 single, “Bohemian Rhapsody“, was number 1 for nine weeks (and a further five weeks in 1991) and is the third biggest selling single of all time in the UK. The band’s 1981 Greatest Hits album is the biggest selling album in UK history with 6.0 million copies sold by 2014. The band’s 1991 compilation Greatest Hits II is also one of the UK’s top ten biggest sellers of all time,...

Antwerp musician Tom Barman, founding member of cult rock band dEUS, is setting aside time to devote to his film work and has three film projects at early stages.
Barman is currently writing the screenplay for The Alcoholics. This will be his first feature as a director since his Antwerp-based debut feature Any Way The Wind Blows in 2003.
The film is being made through Savage Film. Barman hopes to shoot it next summer.
“The funny thing is that there is very little drinking in. Almost none apart from the first five minutes,” Barman said of Alcoholics. He is promising a film with “a very fast pace and a nervous energy”.
The Alcoholics will aim “to show the effects of addiction in an unambiguous way”.
The main character John Carrol (41) has had enough of being a janitor in a Miami nightclub. He takes a deal to act as a drugs mule to Spain but it goes horribly wrong and...

Savage Films presents new projects at Rotterdam; Oscar-nominated Flemish director Michaël R. Roskam’s Belgian-set feature The Faithful planning shoot.
The Faithful, set in Brussels against the backdrop of the gang war in the city in the early 1990s, is expected to star Matthias Schoenaerts, who worked with Roskam on his debut feature Bullhead.
Production had originally been expected to begin in 2016 but the film’s producer, Bart Van Langendonck of Savage Films, told Screen that the film could move into production much sooner.
“We’re looking to shoot later this year,” Van Langendonck said of the film, which Savage is making with Stone Angels in France.
Sales agents are clamouring around the project, which is likely to be packaged up and announced formally in Cannes.
Roskam’s most recent feature was Us drama The Drop, starring Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini in his final role.

Blimey! Uncle Nigel’s done it again!
The American Idol Season 11 Top 5 will tackle a “British Music” theme next Wednesday, and unless there’s some unfortunate sub-theme percolating (British Music That Was Covered by a Season 10 Finalist? British Music of Lulu and Nigel’s Other All-Time Favorites/Good Buddies?), then the remaining finalists have a pretty wide swath of songs from which to choose.

With Ex Drummer, Koen Mortier (22 Mei) followed the path that Tom Barman's Any Way The Wind Blows cleared a couple of years earlier. Mortier merely confirmed it was possible to make challenging, unique films in Flanders, films that holds international appeal and aren't just local products build on the national fame of some or other second-rate actor. Ex Drummer is not for the faint of heart, but if you possess a very dark sense of humor this is definitely one of the best comedies you will encounter.The DVD cover links this film to Trainspotting, and while I can appreciate the similarities between both movies you need a much darker and nihilistic sense of humor to sit through Mortier's masterpiece. Ex Drummer descends to the...

Gleeks, we feel your pain. Tonight's "Glee" finale was everything we love about the show... and, unfortunately, everything we're going to miss over the long, hot summer. Luckily, we've got plenty of music to listen to while we count the days down.
Tonight's episode was called "Journey," and recalls the pilot episode, where the New Directions kids won over Mr. Schuester (and each other) with a Journey performance. Schue decides that Journey is New Directions' best shot at Regionals. Finn and Rachel duet on Journey's "Faithfully," which leads to a mash-up of "Any Way You Want It" and "Touchin' Lovin' Squeezin'," and finally their signature "Don't Stop Believin."
Jesse St. James gets his last shot at the high school glee club stage with Vocal Adrenaline's performance of "Bohemian Rhapsody"... while Quinn is busy giving birth to her and Puck's baby. It's a powerful performance, but is it enough for Vocal Adrenaline to take the trophy?...
