1) Xtra-vision Update

That’s Ben Wheatley not our Nigel. Yes Mr. Wheatley of Kill List and Sightseers fame will release his next film A Field in England (set during the English civil war) simultaneously in cinemas, on DVD, TV and Video-on-demand. Why I hear you ask? Well no doubt it will bring the film to a much wider audience and is an innovative way to examine film releases. Will it become the norm? No. Also pretty bitchin poster. READ MORE

5) The World’s End
The final part of Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy will find its way onto our screens this summer. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Wright are back to finish what they started with Shaun of the Dead back in 2004. The trailer is interesting and seems to be full of inn (get it?) jokes. Keep your diary free for the 19th July.
