Will "Entourage" be the best Movie of 2015? - Watch the trailer here!


The Boys are back! Vincent chase and his crew return, only this time it is on the big screen!

Synopsis:
Movie Star Vincent Chase, together with this boys, Eric, Turtle and Johnny are back ... and back in business with suger agent turned studio head Ari Gold. Some of their ambitions have changed, but the bond between them remains strong as they navigate the capricious and often cut throat world of Hollywood

2015 is lining up to be one of Hollywood's strongest years in a very long time, with new additions of the Star Wars, Jurassic Park & Avengers franchises it is going to be almost impossible to keep movie goers out of the Cinema. So I put the question to you;

Will Entourage be the best Movie of 2015?

I have been a huge fan of the HBO series since day one, with its mix of characters the shows elements appeal to most people in one way or another. Entourage which ran from 2004 to 2011 was dubbed Sex and the City for males, A Movie star and his lifelong friends running around Hollywood living the high life, every Man's dream right?

But being tagged as the Males Sex and the City I feel the show was served and injustice at the start, Just like the ITV's terrible marketing for Supernatural in the UK, The label singled out an entire sex. But as the seasons went on it became clear that Entourage's female fan base was growing.

Anyway, back to the Movie. Entourage was one of them shows that never grew tired and could have gone on for another 5 seasons easily. It gives me so much joy seeing Johnny Drama and Ari Gold back in the new trailer, the best part is that unlike certain TV Show Movies or Revivals, Entourage feels fresh and most of all a very welcome addition to 2015.

Now I would be a fool to say that it will be the best movie of 2015, Especially with Jurassic World dropping next year. But I will say now that it will definitely be up there in the Top 3, not Box Office but Films of the year!

Check out the Trailer and Poster for the "Film within a Film" Hyde starring Vincent Chase below!

Directed by Doug Ellin, Entourage will hit UK screens next June and stars Kevin Connolly, Adrian Grenier, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara, Jeremy Piven, Billy Bob Thornton & Haley Joel Osment

Eric McCormack Interview (2014) - Perception ,Free Enterprise - #UKTVLive

Eric McCormack.


At the UKTV Live event in London I got a chance to meet one of my favourite actors and have a chat about his current show Perception, which airs its 3rd season on Alibi in September, and ask about Free Enterprise one of the best Indie films of the 90's.

Most will recognise him as the lead character of Will from "Will&Grace" which was a great comedy series that ran for 8 seasons that most people I know watched and remember fondly.

More recently Eric has been playing Daniel Pierce in the hit ABC show Perception, which I highly recommend checking out.
I will be reviewing season 3 as it airs in the same way I am doing with Doctor Who season 8.
Also as mentioned "Free Enterprise" is a must watch film for anyone who is a fan of Kevin Smith, "Office Space" or "Fanboys".
The film will feature in my Top Ten Forgotten Rad 90's countdown later in the year.
So check out the interview below.

Rachael Leigh Cook Interview (2014) - Perception - #UKTVLive



With Season 3 of the fantastic Crime Solving Drama series “Perception” Premiering tonight in the UK on Alibi at 9pm, I got a chance to catch up again with the show’s star and last months podcast guest Rachael Leigh Cook.

Perception Season 3 will see FBI Agent Kate Moretti played by Rachael Leigh Cook teaming up once again with Neuroscientist Professor and Schizophrenic Dr Daniel Peirce, played by the wonderful Eric McCormack. Rachael Leigh Cook became part of the new millenniums “American Sweethearts” when she first hit the big screen in She’s All That in 1999, and has gone on to star in films such as Anti Trust, Get Carter, Josie and the Pussycats and Broken Kingdom.



Now as you may have heard on the podcast episode she was the guest on, I have always been a big fan of Rachael Leigh Cook ever since I first saw She’s All That in 1999. She was my Hollywood crush when I was 15 and still to this day looks as stunning as ever, so as you can imagine I was a little more nervous meeting here face to face than on the audio interview for the podcast but she was an absolute pleasure to talk to but the “Dreamweaver” sequence from Wayne’s World pretty much is a perfect example of how it began.


Make sure you don’t miss the Season 3 premier of Perception on Alibi tonight at 9pm and check out the interview below


Please tweet us @BoxOfficeBeyond with your thoughts on the Perception Season 3 premier

Supernatural returns to UK screens in January!


Rejoice! UK fans of the show today were over the moon as Channel 4's sister channel E4 has picked up the hit US series for its 10th season.

UK fans earlier in the year were left heartbroken when ITV announced that along with a handful of other US shows, that it would no longer be showing Supernatural on its ITV2 channel. 

With social media a hub for spoilers and the temptation of torrents, it was no wonder UK fans started dwindling from tuning in on ITV2 as the seasons were airing over a year later than the US broadcasts.

Supernatural Season 10 is penned in to start on E4 in January 2015, which with the Mid-Season break will line up the later half of the season perfectly with the US broadcast. So UK fans can now enjoy the series the right way.

Read the E4 Supernatural press release below

E4 has announced the recruitment of demon hunters Sam and Dean Winchester in an attempt to combat the supernatural forces which are expected to descend upon the channel in early 2015.
Starring Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles (as the Winchesters) alongside Misha Collins (as the angel Castiel), Supernatural Season 9 follows the brothers as they take to the road again in their ’67 Chevy Impala to battle against a world now inhabited by thousands of newly arrived powerful beings. But a dark secret hangs over Dean’s head…and he might have finally crossed the line to protect his brother.
Created by Eric Kripke, Supernatural is executive produced by Robert Singer, Jeremy Carver, McG and Adam Glass. The series is produced by Wonderland Sound and Vision in association with Warner Bros. Television.
Supernatural is distributed around the world by Warner Bros. International Television Distribution.

"Batman Returns" Batmobile cockpit prop!


"The Batmobile Insert Cockpit used in the making of Tim Burton's 1992 caped crusader sequel, Batman Returns. This piece is a studio process car used by production for interior shots taking place within Batman's spectacular Batmobile. Originally designed by Anton Furst, this process car was designed to help Tim Burton and his team obtain key shots of Batman within the cockpit. By removing the body of the vehicle, the cameras were able to get up close with Batman, the interior electronics, and gadgets within the vehicle. As such, only the interior of the cockpit and the back wall of the car were built for production, while the outer casing seen on the sides were added later to make the piece more presentable.

The dashboard inside the Batmobile can be screen matched in numerous scenes and is outfitted with numerous buttons and gauges that light up when powered by a 110 volt battery. While a few small dials and switches are now missing and the CD player and radio have been removed, the monitor screen is still intact.

The center console between the seats showcases the original throttle, console lights, and levers, and is framed by original vinyl upholstery. Most recognizable is the original steering wheel with Batman's signature logo in the center. Located over the cockpit is a removable roof, which granted director Tim Burton easy access into the vehicle.

While this rare piece remains largely original, a number of components were replaced or added in the years since the film was released. Sometime after production the seats were replaced (see photos) and panels were added to the sides and front of the process car to give the piece a presentable appearance. This piece is in good condition and is believed to be the only item of its kind in existence today."

Ok so this is freaking awesome but at £31,239.00 you would probably already have the real thing as you would have to be Bruce Wayne to afford this.

So that was a bit crazy and out of most our price ranges, however if you fancy treating me who am I to say no.

Terminator 2 Endoskeleton Arm



From Terminator 2: Judgment Day comes this exciting new licensed prop replica - the Endoskeleton Arm! This was first seen in the Cyberdyne break in scenes being recovered by John Connor, along with the Terminator Brain Chip.

This 1:1 scale replica was molded from an original screen used Endoskeleton arm, with the arm measuring 24´ tall. The Endoarm has been recreated using a variety of materials, including polystone, fiberglass, and metal, and is triple chrome plated so it is cold to the touch for a real metal feel. The base incorporates built-in blue LED uplighting for enhanced display options, and the piece comes complete with a clear acrylic cover - as it is first seen in the movie!

This is pretty sweet to have, especially since T2 is seemingly about to be erased from the Terminator canon as the new film veers off on a tangent creating an alternate 1984.
Time for the ultimate cross over!
Marty McFly must travel back in time to stop the butt heads at the studio changing the future.

On sale at £629.00, so again not a stocking filler.
