Brandon Generator premiere lauches final episode
On Wednesday night 11 July, 2012 the Farmiloe Building (best known as Gothan Police Department in Christopher Nolan’s Batman films) played host to the world premiere of Edgar Wright’s finalised The Random Adventures of Brandon Generator series. Debuting the fourth and final episode of ultra-collaborative effort as part of the first big screen airing of the work in its entirety, Wright was on-hand beside animator Tommy Lee Edwards, the voice of Brandon The Mighty Boosh’s Julian Barratt, and David Holmes, who provided the episodes’ score. Together they watched along with the audience in a packed pop-up auditorium and took as much pleasure in the completed film-making experiment as anyone.
So what exactly is The Random Adventures of Brandon Generator?

Avengers Assemble London Press Conference Report
Before getting all glammed up for the big European premiere of Avengers Assemble at Westfield London last Thursday 19 April, the cast gathered alongside producer Kevin Feige and executive producer Jeremy Latcham at Claridge’s Hotel to field questions from the press. Here’s what went down:
Edith Bowman (moderator): I wanna direct my question to Kevin and Jeremy Latcham, please first of all. Five hundred Avengers issues over the past 48 years, how and where do you start with this story?
Jeremy Latcham: Well, I mean, part of putting these movies together, especially on this one, was actually taking everything that existed in the movies that we’ve done and having to be faithful to the movies that we’ve already put together. And at the same time having to go back to the comics as well and make sure that we’re faithful to everything in the comics and everything in the movies. So it is a little bit of a challenge trying to find the right source material to kinda be the inspiration, but luckily Joss Whedon, our director and writer extraordinaire, is really, really good at assimilating all that material and he just kinda goes “Oh, just do it like this”. Oh, oh that’s much easier. Read More…

The Woman in Black World Premiere
The world premiere for The Woman in Black hit the south-bank of London tonight as the film’s stars and more than a few Harry Potter lovers converged at the Royal Festival Hall. While a considerably smaller affair than Daniel Radcliffe’s last London premiere, there was no shortage of fangirl appreciation as their screams of admiration were enough to burst the most hardened of eardrums.
My review of the film is in the works, but in the meantime, here are a few photos of the from the red carpet tonight…

Arthur Christmas World Premiere
Christmas landed early in London today, as the world premiere for Aardman Animation’s Arthur Christmas was held at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square. Decorated pine trees lined the red carpet as snow fell overhead. On hand for the celebration, which helped to raise money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation, were Aardman legends Peter Lord and Nick Park. Joining cast members Bill Nighy, Ashley Jensen and Ramona Marquez, were director Sarah Smith, writer Peter Baynham and an array of British talent including the ever jolly Nick Frost.

Empire Big Screen 2011- Day 1 (Friday 12 August)
I was lucky enough to bag free tickets for all three days of Empire’s ambitious, new, formerly movie-con event- Big Screen. Communications from the PR company handling the tickets was less-than-stellar (I won’t name and shame here) so I found myself without any real idea what kind of tickets I would have or what films and sessions I would be seeing right up to my arrival at Greenwich’s O2.
