A new look behind the scenes of the Tim Burton SUPERMAN film that never was
I’m actually kind of sad that Tim Burton never got to make his Superman Lives movie. By all accounts, it would have been crazy, weird and a 90 minute advert to sell more Superman toys. But dammit, it would have been worth it just to see Nicolas Cage as Clark Kent/Superman! Precious few photos or video have escaped from the …
Behind the scenes of the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer
Behind the scenes on how the impressive CGI trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 was made, from start to finish.
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Blu-ray extras show the Bane that almost was, plus behind the scenes on one epic confrontation
Say what you like about The Dark Knight Rises, from it’s weak pacing to predictable conclusion, but at least they got one thing right, and that’s Bane. An idea that is seen as gimmicky in the comic book source material, director Christopher Nolan managed to hit a homerun with his interpretation of the back-breaking foe.

Annie Leibovitz goes behind the scenes to picturise LES MISERABLES
Viva la resistance, eat cake and give it to the peasants! While my ideas for Les Miserables song additions most likely won’t make the final cut of that film, at least audiences can look forward to some more familiar songs and a stunning art direction from director Tom Hooper. Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz recently hit the set to take photos …

The wolf pack is back, beybeh, ready to ruin your wedding once again! What’s that, there’s no wedding this time? Okay, then they’re back to take a shot at your bachelor party and – Oh come on, you telling me that the second sequel is aiming to be more original than the first one? Actually wait, that’s a good thing! …
Watch a never before seen documentary about how THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was made
Love or hate it, there’s no denying that The Empire Strikes Back is the most popular and iconic of all the Star Wars films out there. Or the least worst, sort of. The film was a massive task to complete for creator George Lucas and director Irvin Kirshner, with very little behind the scenes footage allowed, due to the fact …
Go steal some bread with this latest LES MISERABLES featurette
I dreamed a dream…No wait, wrong song. Er, Let’s do the time warp again! Dammit, wrong musical again! Honestly, I’ve pretty much forgotten every single tune from the Les Miserables catalogue after erasing that info and dumping Baysplosions in there instead, but I still know that the film is about love, life, revenge and dirty French Peasants. Also, Wolverine sings, …
