New Trailer for The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

17 June 2013 7:29 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

With just a couple of months to go, Sony are gearing up to release The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones on the big screen, bringing what could well launch a new franchise for the young adult audience.

Since the conclusion of The Twilight Saga last year, we’ve seen Beautiful Creatures fail to live up to the hopes that Warner Bros. had no doubt pinned to it, with the film just about recouping its budget. And it will be interesting to see how The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones fares as a potential franchise-starter.

We’ve got a little over two months left on the calendar before the film hits cinemas, and now a new trailer has launched over on MSN, giving us an action-packed look at what’s to come.

Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, »

Spike Island Review

17 June 2013 5:56 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Director: Mat Whitecross

Cast: Elliott Tittensor, Emilia Clarke, Matthew McNulty, Nico Mirallegro

Running time: 96 minutes

Plot: Between trying to finish their demo tape and chatting up girls, 5 Manchester lads get together to try and sneak their way onto Spike Island, with one thing in mind – to get into the infamous The Stone Roses gig.

With Spike Island being placed in the Lff ‘Sonic’ category, and with Mat Whitecross (Sex & Drugs & Rock’N'roll) at the helm, you’re guaranteed an unapologetic, manic party for your ears. That’s exactly what this film delivers, in the form of a pounding, overwhelming 1990s soundtrack, populated by the plot’s main focus: The Stone Roses.

Gary aka Tits (Tittensor) and Dodge (Mirallegro) – best friends since forever. Along with the the other guys in their band, the boys have three things on their minds: getting their demo finished, getting girlfriends and getting into The Stone Roses gig, »

Doctor Who: who should replace Matt Smith?

3 June 2013 4:23 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

There have been some wild suggestions so far, but I know who I favour – just as I am sure that the Doctor should never be a woman

• Poll: who would you like to see as the new Doctor?

Matt Smith will be bowing out as the eleventh Doctor this Christmas, which means that the mobiles of agents throughout the country will be buzzing into a frenzy. There will be lots of time to mourn the talented Mr Smith, of course, and we will be doing plenty of it before the year is out. But right now we should look forward to who we might like to see as Number 12.

We can dismiss John Hurt, since his surprise appearance in the recent season finale implied that he is a previous incarnation and, in any case, I imagine there's no way the BBC would be able to afford him.

'Murder': BBC Two single drama to return as full series

14 May 2013 4:02 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

BBC Two drama Murder has been commissioned for a full series.

Murder: Joint Enterprise won 'Best Single Drama' at Sunday night's (May 12) BAFTA Television Awards and an extended series will now follow.

"Murder was one of the most striking and distinctive single dramas on BBC Two last year and I'm delighted to see it turn into a series," said BBC Two Controller Janice Hadlow.

Joint Enterprise - which aired in August 2012 - starred Joe Dempsie (Game of Thrones) and Karla Crome (Misfits) as two young people caught up in a murder investigation, with both characters directly addressing the camera to tell their side of the story.

Ben Stephenson, Controller BBC Drama, said: "It is testament to the talented team behind Murder that it will return to BBC Two as a series. It is a truly innovative way of telling crime stories in a unique way and its BAFTA for 'Best Single' reinforces this. »

9 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

We’re just a few months out from seeing The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones reach theatres, and things are looking good for what promises to be a real franchise-starter for Sony this year.

The studio don’t have that many film franchises in their corner, particularly in the young-adult market, and it will be interesting to see how City of Bones fares when it hits this August.

We saw an impressive new full-length trailer land last month, giving us a great glimpse at the upcoming action/fantasy blockbuster. And now MSN have debuted the new UK quad poster.

Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons.

Robert Sheehan Gets A ‘Mortal Instruments’ Character Poster

8 May 2013 11:42 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Some fans of cult show Misfits will never forgive Robert Sheehan for abandoning the show after the second series. Mostly because he was an absolute star. Needless to say, he is getting his name out there in the world of cinema with roles in Killing Bono, Season Of The Witch, and what is set to be his biggest role to date in Ya adaptation The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones. The film will see Lily Collins as a young ‘chosen one’ who must battle dark forces in New York’s underworld. Sheehan stars as Simon Lewis who, judging by the trailers, is a comedic human character that gets caught up in the other world.

The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones is released 23rd August. It stars Lily Collins, Lena Headey, Aidan Turner, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kevin Zegers, Robert Sheehan, Kevin Durand, Jared Harris, and Jemima West.

Ian McKellen Gets 'Vicious'

30 April 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Sir Ian McKellen's new sitcom, "Vicious," debuted to 5.7 million viewers on ITV in the UK, according to Deadline.

The sitcom, written by "Family Guy" and "Will & Grace" veteran Gary Janetti, stars McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi as a gay couple. Season 1 of the "Vicious," which was originally titled "Vicious Old Queens", is six 30-minute episodes.

In an interview with Jonathan Ross, McKellen said, "I got the script and it was called 'Vicious Old Queens' and I said, 'I'm not old!'" McKellen and Jacobi's characters have been together for almost 50 years and they live their lives sort of apart from the world and McKellen said they're horrible to each other. "That's the way they get through life," he said.

Ross compared the show to "The Golden Girls" and McKellen agreed there are some similarities.

Take a peek at some clips from "Vicious" below. "Misfits" and "Game of Thrones" fans will recognize Iwan Rheon. »

‘The Woman in Black’ Sequel Casts Leads for WWII Horror Story

29 April 2013 1:41 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Released early in 2012, The Woman in Black was initially known only as one of the first post-Harry Potter roles for Daniel Radcliffe. Despite that baggage, the spooky British film scared over $130 million from world audiences – almost eight times the movie’s budget.

Boldened by that profit margin, the venerable Hammer Films production company moved forward with the production of a sequel, The Woman in Black: Angels of Death. Showing no sign of slowing down, Hammer has announced the first major casting news for the project.

Coming Soon reports that Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Phoebe Fox (Black Mirror) have been recruited as the leads in the sequel to The Woman in Black. They join a production directed by Tom Harper (Misfits) from a ...

'Vicious' review: McKellen, Jacobi can't save ITV's tired, lazy sitcom

29 April 2013 1:30 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

When I first heard that legends of stage and screen Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Derek Jacobi were to play a bickering old couple in a new sitcom, I was genuinely excited - you can't question the acting pedigree of either man and McKellen had previously shown quite a flair for self-parody in BBC Two's Extras.

But unfortunately Vicious is not the catty, cutting comedy it could have been - what we have instead is an uncomfortable blend of coarse humour and '70s sitcom-style cosiness.

The jokes veer from the obvious but inoffensive - old people don't know who Zac Efron is - to the more dubious. Tonally, we're mostly in territory that wouldn't feel out of place in Are You Being Served? - but on occasion, Vicious strays into edgier territory and it just feels wrong - those rape jokes should've been excised, for one.

Jeremy Irvine and Phoebe Fox to lead Hammer’s The Woman in Black: Angel of Death

29 April 2013 8:21 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Following the astounding success of last year’s The Woman in Black, which became something of a sleeper hit around the world for Hammer Films, we first heard late last year that Tom Harper had come on board to direct the sequel, The Woman in Black: Angel of Death.

We saw a pretty snazzy promo poster surface back in November, at which time we were still in the dark about who would be taking the leads this time around in Daniel Radcliffe’s place.

And now Hammer have announced that Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Phoebe Fox (Switch) have signed on to take the leads for the sequel, set several decades after the original.

The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death will continue the story four decades later. Seized by the government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its darkest inhabitant. »

We've got acting legends camping it up and cross-dressing bald men (amongst other things) in this week's Must-See TV, which will give you the skinny on the likes of Doctor Who, The Following and other telly highlights.

Read on for full details of the shows you really should take a peek at this week...

Vicious: Monday (April 29) at 9pm on ITV

The humour may not exactly be top drawer, but the cast list of ITV's latest stab at primetime comedy can't be argued with. Sir Ian McKellen - Gandalf! Magneto! - and Sir Derek Jacobi - Claudius! The Master! - together... surely it can't be that bad?!

The Sirs play geriatric gay couple Freddie and Stuart, who in this opening episode decide to throw a camp and catty wake for their recently deceased friend. Gurning Misfits actor Iwan Rheon also appears as sprightly leather jacket fan Ash, who's just moved in upstairs, »

'Vicious' Iwan Rheon Q&A: It's nice to play a happy character for once

28 April 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

If someone asked you to come up with a pair of acting legends to star in a sitcom, you couldn't do much better than to suggest Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi. The heavyweights of the dramatic world have signed up to star as a couple in ITV's new comedy Vicious, which starts tomorrow (April 29).

But the amazing cast doesn't stop there - we also get treated to the likes of Frances de la Tour and one of our favourite Misfits stars, Iwan Rheon. We caught up with Iwan recently to find out what Vicious is all about, why filming the show was scary, and whether he'd be up for a Misfits movie...

If someone on the street came up and asked you what Vicious is about, what would you tell them?

"It's basically about a mature gay couple who have been together for 48 years and who are quite vicious with each other, »

Iwan Rheon: 'I'd be an idiot not to do a Misfits movie'

Iwan Rheon has suggested that he would be an "idiot" if he turned down the chance to appear in a Misfits movie.

Downton Abbey, Broadchurch and beyond: how ITV got back on top

27 April 2013 12:01 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

TV thriller Broadchurch was an extraordinary hit. Perhaps most surprising was the fact that it was on ITV, not always seen as the home of edgy entertainment. But that's changing

There was something out of the ordinary about Broadchurch, the TV murder mystery that kept nearly 10 million viewers guessing until the killer of 11-year-old Danny Latimer was revealed this week. The work almost entirely of a single writer – unusual for an eight-part drama – it featured only one murder (the average episode of Midsomer Murders has four).

Most surprising of all, perhaps, was that Broadchurch was on ITV, not necessarily a channel known to viewers as the home of edgy (or edge-of-your-seat) thrills. At the risk of hyperbole, ITV claims it is the most tweeted-about TV drama ever, with a reported 260,000 tweets from 137,000 people – making it, to use a pre-Twitter phrase, genuine watercooler television.
