Turbo – Brand New Featurette

Nice little featurette…

Featuring a colossal voice cast that includes Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Bill Hader, Michelle Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, Snoop Dogg (a.k.a. Snoop Lion), and Samuel L. Jackson, TURBO is released in UK cinemas on 18th October 2013.

From the makers of MADAGASCAR and KUNG FU PANDA, TURBO is a high-velocity 3D comedy about an ordinary snail who dares to dream big – and fast. After a freak accident miraculously gives him the power of super-speed, Turbo kicks his dreaming into overdrive and embarks on an extraordinary journey to achieve the seemingly impossible: racing against famed driver Guy Gagne. With the help of Turbo’s tricked-out streetwise snail crew, this ultimate underdog puts his heart and shell on the line to prove that no dream is too big, and no dreamer too small.

TURBO is released in UK cinemas on 18th October 2013 from Twentieth Century Fox

Second Infinite Trailer & Composer News

Check out the second teaser trailer for Infinite.

Ambitious science fiction web series Infinite continues to attract heavyweight names from the world of science fiction television. A spectacular new teaser trailer for the spaceship series was launched today with music from legendary composer Crispin Merrell.

The composer is best known to fans for his numerous collaborations with Thunderbirds mastermind Gerry Anderson. “It will be great to work on a sci-fi series again, I love the scope that this genre brings. In my experience, there is more in the musical palette for out-of-this-world drama,” says Merrell.

The spectacular new trailer introduces us to a spaceship that will be crewed by Cyborg commander McQuaid, played by Joshua Berg and General Richter played by Doctor Who favourite Nicholas Briggs. “Infinite looks to be an epic series, I am inspired to capture the mood, deliver some futuristic soundscapes and memorable themes,” continues composer Merrell.

The composer adds, “I hope this new space adventure attracts a large fan base.” The second teaser trailer is now online and the first behind the scenes video report is coming at the end of the month.

“I Must Have Some Booze. I Demand To Have Some Booze!”

So begins the inaugural film screening at “SMITHS”.

Nestled on the hem of Spittalfields Market, this venue caters to any and all with it’s café/bar, restaurant, private hire rooms and events. For tonight though, we are invited to descend to the basement to partake in the maiden voyage of “SMITHS” series of movie screenings, helmed by Withnail & I.

Tickets were available and entitled one to a pre-screening Bob beer and roll of something’s flesh that would instigate a case of salivation a pack of dogs would be ashamed of. The bar slowly populated by patrons of the impending, and it was only a matter of time until someone called for the finest wines of humanity to their table. After indulging in these delectable bar sundries we settled in to complimentary popcorn as the projector fluttered into digital life. People shuffled into their seats and the crunch of the snacks settled into a low background din as the film rolled. Of all the places to watch the alcoholic descent of Withnail, inside a bar was the place to do it.

The movement to screen classic or cult films isn’t new, and there are more inventive or awe inspiring events out there, but there’s something personal about the set up “SMITHS” have. Going to your local bar and settling in for the most excellent of service and atmosphere, the personal treatment the staff provide is most welcome. Though “SMITHS” isn’t without its challenges. Non-dedicated rooms used for screenings always lead to the inevitable head silhouettes to peer past and the noise from other areas punctuating each and every scene.

Overall, for a film you know and love, “SMITHS” is the perfect place to revisit it; share a few drinks with friends before you partake in the collective appreciation of a classic. You won’t connect with the film directly due to obstructions, but your memory of the movie will carry you along as will the atmosphere of the audience. Now let’s get home, the sky’s beginning the bruise.

Bad Grandpa Clip: Cinnamon

86 year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companion, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa”. This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicholl) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.

Here’s a clip, Cinnamon…

Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens.

Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.
