“I was hired by a very unscrupulous producer. He put me with an Italian crew who spoke no English then fired me a couple of weeks into the shoot and took over directing. Turns out, he’d done that on his two previous films.
He wouldn’t show me a foot of film that I’d shot, so I went in and ran the film for myself.

The Triangle:
Waif-like Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), departed beau Edward Cullen (R-Pat) and latest attraction Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner)
Does It Get Complicated?
You’d have thought things were going to settle down, what with Edward being a vampire ‘n’ all. He did tend to attract the wrong sort of crowd.

Oh, and Jacob’s a werewolf. Did we not mention that?

And as such, games are becoming more and more like films.

The acting world lost a gentleman, a giant and a true talent when Edward Woodward died at the age of 79.
Woodward's career had spanned from the 1950s right up until this year as he worked on the stage, television in cinema.
No one tribute could do a man who won his way into RADA at the tender age of 16 justice, but we thought we'd look back at his work and spotlight five of his greatest performances, with Woodward and some of his co-stars talking about them…

12 years is a long time, but that's how long it's been since self-proclaimed King of the World, and the undisputed King of the Box-Office James Cameron, last ventured into theatres with a blockbuster big enough to bust actual blocks.
In case you haven't heard, JC is back, and he's bringing with him a small, personal film called Avatar - an intimate production currently estimated to be worth, oh, you know, half a billion dollars.
The Story Behind Avatar
From Jim Cameron's brain to our cinemas...
BY James White Nov 16th 2009 // 10:10AM FILED UNDER: Features
Following years of anticipation, bucketloads of hype, several trailers and an entire day dedicated to screening chunks of it, James Cameron's latest is finally about to hit our screens.
Easily the most discussed film of the year, Avatar has been a long time coming, not least because Cameron first got the idea more than a decade ago.
