Who is Paul?

A new image from Comic-Con has surfaced from Simon Pegg's new movie- Paul!  We still don't really know what it's about or what Paul himself will look like but the Nick Frost and Simon combo is always a winner!

Thanks to Empire for the link to the pic!

Simon Pegg has a Mission Impossible

First of all- sorry bloggers for the lack of updates the last week lots of stuff was hushed up and we weren't allowed to tell you but now we're free!  Whoo!

So news item 1!  Simon Pegg is in talks to return to his role of Benji the scientist in Mission: Impossible IV.  Rumours have been circulating for a while that the new movie will go ahead- the earlier incarnation of the film was stopped in its tracks when Tom Cruise broke away from Paramount and caused an almighty Hollywood rift- but that seems to be all over now and M:I 4 is definitely going to happen.

Simon stands a pretty good chance of having a meatier role in the sequel with J.J Abrams on board to executive produce (and maybe direct) J.J is notoriously loyal to his actor mates and cast Pegg in his rebooted Star Trek after his turn in M:I3.

Watch this space for more info on the spy franchise and also updates on Simon's next film - Ealing's Burke & Hare!

John Landis hosts night for Ray Harryhausen at BFI

It was Clash of the Filmmaker Titans at the BFI on Saturday when world renowned directors, visual effects artists and animators turned out to celebrate the 90th birthday of stop-motion genius Ray Harryhausen (Clash of the Titans, Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts).

Lifelong fan John Landis (Director of Burke & Hare) hosted the event to massive acclaim.  Among the audience were Burke & Hare themselves Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis, directors Peter Jackson, Edgar Wright and Terry Gilliam and though not there in person ("because they were too cheap to take the flight" joked Landis) there were video tributes from Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and John Lassester, Tim Burton and James Cameron.

Also in attendance were Wallace & Gromit creator Nick Park, King Kong star Rick Baker and Caroline Monroe one of the stars of Sinbad.
