The Last Song, starring Mylie Cyrus and Greg Kinnear, is a drama centered on a rebellious girl who is sent to a Southern beach town for the summer to stay with her father. Through their mutual love of music, the estranged duo learn to reconnect.

As it's Friday, we're treating you to an exclusive deleted scene from the film. Enjoy!  

The Last Song is released on DVD and Blu-ray on 6 September.

Sky Movies HD has commissioned its first piece of original feature-length content and the project promises to take viewers to a Neverland they’ve never seen before.

Starring Charlie Rowe (Peter Pan), Rhys Ifans (James Hook), Anna Friel (Captain Elizabeth Bonny) and Bob Hoskins (reprising his role as Mr Smee from Steven Spielberg’s Hook), Neverland should offer a bold new take on the original mythology of JM Barrie’s Peter Pan.

“The project will provide an intriguing history of many of the beloved characters, including The Lost Boys, Captain Hook, The Indians, Croc and Neverland itself. In short, it is the beginning of everything,” a statement from the satellite broadcaster said.

The plot goes a little something like this:
Raised on the streets of turn-of-the-century London, orphaned Peter (Rowe) and his pals survive by their fearless wits as cunning young pickpockets. Now, they’ve been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook (Ifans) to snatch a priceless—some believe, magical—treasure which transports them to another world. Neverland is a realm of white jungles and legendary mysteries of eternal youth, where unknown friends and enemies snatched from time welcome the new travelers with both excitement and trepidation. These groups include a band of 18th century pirates led by the power-mad Elizabeth Bonny (Friel), and the Native American Kaw tribe led by a Holy Man (Trujillo), which has protected the secret of the tree spirits from Bonny and her gang for ages—and that has meant war. But as the fight to save this strange and beautiful world becomes vital, Hook, Peter, and the ragamuffin lost boys consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up—right here in their new home called Neverland.

Production begins next week in Genoa, Italy and then moves to Dublin. Neverland is slated to air on Sky Movies Premiere HD in two 90-minute parts in 2011.

Ian Lewis, Director of Sky Movies, described the prequel as “a fantastic coup”.

“The legend of Peter Pan spans generations, and never fails to delight and entertain. Despite many different interpretations, there’s never been a movie of how it all could have come to be – this is that story,” Lewis added.

The project sees Sky Movies HD working with MNG Films, RHI Entertainment and Syfy, with Nick Willing (Alice, Tin Man) writing and directing and Parallel Films producing.

The latest man to play the world’s favourite detective tells Review about growing up like Jeremy Brett and how Guy Ritchie frightened him...

Had you read the books before signing up? Were you a fan?
Yes, very much. They are so good, and gripping and entertaining with really well-thought-out, well-drawn characters. What we’re doing isn’t a straight adaptation, so you have to bring what is unique about Sherlock into a modern context. To do that you have to understand the original character. Especially since we’re doing A Study In Pink, which is a version of A Study In Scarlet. After 70 or so film versions of Sherlock Holmes, I think this is the first time that Holmes and Watson meeting has been dramatised.

Did you look at any of the other Holmes adaptations?
I did see quite a few of them when I was growing up. Jeremy Brett was a big... well, I thought he was wonderful. I was going to say he was a big influence on my childhood but that would sound a bit disturbing! He was someone I very much remember watching playing Holmes. Since then I’ve seen Basil Rathbone, and recently the film as well with Robert Downey Jr. To be honest, though, it probably wouldn’t have appealed to me as much to play an original Holmes because in so many ways it’s been done superlatively well by Rathbone in black and white and Brett in colour.

So what did you think of the Guy Ritchie movie?
I went to watch it with Martin Freeman and Mark Gatiss and I was quite frightened. I thought, “What if I watch this and I’m genuinely blown away by it?” But again, it belongs to its period, it’s a different time in their relationship – they’re older – and I just sat there enjoying a romp that wasn’t particularly to do with what I had in my mind as the original Holmes and Watson.

Were any other screen detectives an influence?
No, not really. Sherlock’s an original. All other detectives owe something to Holmes, but he is the original. The world’s favourite detective.

Sherlock is released on DVD and Blu-ray today.

Review spent a very pleasant weekend recently at the Nag’s Head in High Wycombe – easily the best music venue in that area.

With two full days of bands playing in a mini rock festival, we’d like to see a couple of them gracing a film soundtrack soon:
Mister Mañana – playing the kind of four guitar rock that would fill a stadium, let alone blow away an upstairs music venue.
Izzi Stone – Local boys mixing wicked guitar riffs with classic vocals to give an ’80s feel.

However, it was this Family Guy image in the main bar downstairs which had us seething with poster envy...

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has released a new trailer for Lord Of The Rings: Aragorn's Quest, containing all new cooperative footage from the Wii version of the videogame.

“It's a first chance to see Aragorn and Gandalf battling alongside each other in two player mode,” a spokesman says. “The trailer also provides background on Gandalf, his role in the game and an in-depth look at the cooperative features of the game.”

As you’d expect, Gandalf looks as hard as nails. See for yourself below...

The Lord Of The Rings: Aragorn's Quest is due for release in October 2010 on PS3, PSP, DS and Wii formats.

If you’re going to make a film about a subject as incendiary (ahem) as terrorism, you better know what you’re talking about. Controversy-magnet Chris Morris may have caused a hoo-ha with his comic take on suicide bombers in Four Lions but the Brass Eye and The Day Today creator can’t be accused of not being thorough in his research.

“I figured if I didn’t know something then I’d better go and find out the answer first-hand,” Morris tells Review. “As a result, I built up a network of friends and contacts with different specialties and they helped introduce me to ex-fighters and the secret services, so we ended up with a network of absolutely essential guides. The most indefatigable of them became permanent members of crew – and worked as producers – helping out with every aspect of production.”

Three years of research later and Morris finally thought he was ready enough to put pen to paper, along with The Thick Of It and Peep Show writers Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain, after the revelation that many suicide bombers were, well, a bit daft.

“The unfathomable world of extremism seemed to contain elements of farce,” Morris says. “People go to training camps in the wrong clothes, forget how to make bombs. They talk about who’s cooler – bin Laden or Johnny Depp. The more I looked, the more reality played against type, then the penny dropped. A cell of terrorists is a bunch of blokes, a small group of fired-up lads planning cosmic war from a bedsit: not a bad pressure cooker for jokes.”

At the centre of the gang of fools are Shifty’s Riz Ahmed and Fonejacker himself Kayvan Novak, who play members of the wannabe terrorist cell from Sheffield that targets the London Marathon. We’re betting financial backers for a comedy about suicide bombers weren’t exactly forthcoming...

“The people who ended up funding the film were those who could spot the difference between what we were doing and the desire to cause trouble,” Morris explains. “They could see the film was not racist, was not attacking a culture, but may just be suggesting that killing people is not a good idea. So we made no concessions.”

In tackling such a serious issue with laughter, Morris makes clear that the focus is firmly on the ironies and contradictions – never on the beliefs or culture – in showing us the funny side of fundamentalism. As he points out: “You don’t have to mock Islamic beliefs to make a joke out of someone who wants to run the world under Sharia law but can’t apply it in his own home because his wife won’t let him.”

Four Lions is released on DVD & Blu-ray on 30 August.

Is it a natural transition to go from being a hopeless romantic in Youth In Revolt to an action hero in Scott Pilgrim?
It doesn't feel like a transition. It just feels like a sort of different thing but we had a lot of training on that movie and a lot of time to get to hangout with each other and prepare for it. So it felt like a pretty smooth transition.

Edgar Wright’s style can be pretty wild. How do you adapt to something like that?
There's not much of an adjustment. You just sort of jump in and do it. There were things that you'd have a shot for that was just for one line and so it wasn't like you'd run a whole scene some of the time. That was kind of different, but for the most part you just have to let go and go with it.
 
You sword fight in that movie. Did you have to learn any other cool fighting styles?
Yeah. Well, there's an amazing fight between Mae Whitman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead where they're using these weapons and it's really amazingly done. There are some other things, there are like battles with music in it and the sword fighting.

How does the battle with music work?
Like a battle involving music. I don't know how to describe that.
 
Where did Paper Heart fit in between the projects?
I just shot my stuff in that movie for like a week or two weeks in LA. I think it was right before Youth In Revolt. It felt like a really small shoot. It was a really small crew and just a really kind of small intimate movie with friends. It felt almost like a student film with a bigger budget.

Do you have plans to do more of that with your circle of friends?
I don't have any plans right now but if something came up it'd be fun to do.

Will Scott Pilgrim turn into a franchise?
I don't know about that. That's hard to say because the movie encompasses the whole graphic novel series. He's writing the last one. There's going to be six and the sixth one is out now.
 
So they didn’t sign you for a trilogy just in case?
I don't think so, no.

Scott Pilgrim is released in UK cinemas tomorrow. Go see it, it's funny.

Best known as wizardy scallywag Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter uber-franchise, Rupert Grint gets a bit more serious for Cherrybomb, where mastering magic gives way to the more difficult task of mastering a Northern Irish accent. “I felt out of my comfort zone,” Grint tells Review. “It was an accent I hadn’t really heard before.”

Grint had to wrap his tongue around the province’s twang for his role as teen Malachy, in a film about a love triangle that spirals out of control, as two friends dare each other on to more dangerous feats involving drugs, drink and nicking stuff to win the affections of a young lady. “It’s usually quite hard to fit films in between the Potter movies,” Grint says, “but this came just after the sixth one. It all happened so quickly, really, I just loved the script.”

The contrasts with Potter didn’t end there with Cherrybomb, which was shot on location in Belfast in just three short weeks. “The last Harry Potter film took a year and a half, so it was completely different,” Grint says. “It was quite hard to adjust to that and it was quite nervewracking as well...”

The future looks bright for Grint; expect to see him much more of him in the movies, even if he is reluctant to watch himself on DVD ... “I’ve grown up on camera, so the Harry Potter films are like an expensive home video,” he says. “I do catch them on occasion but I haven’t watched many of them since the premieres. It’s not because I’m embarrassed, it just feels quite weird!”

Cherrybomb is released today on DVD.

It’s a little-known, but unsurprising, fact that Sir Terry Pratchett is single-handedly responsible for three per cent of the total book trade in the UK, with more than 2.5 million of his novels sold a year in this country. What is more surprising is how long it has taken to adapt his Discworld works into live-action productions for the screen, which didn’t start until 2006’s Hogfather – although Pratchett’s just pleased they’re being made.

“I absolutely get a kick out of it,” he tells Review. “I love it when I go on set and can hang around with people – the tech guys, especially.”

The author has made a cameo appearance in every adaptation so far, albeit somewhat reluctantly.

“They actually now insist on it,” Pratchett says. “‘Oh, at the end you have to put on a cameo,’ they tell me. It took six takes for me to just walk across the room. On the other hand, I don’t know if Charles Dance can write as well as me.”

The author says he leaves the production team to get on with interpreting his novels their way, but admits to being thrilled so much care and attention to detail is lavished on his work.

“They took off my wire-ring spectacles because they weren’t proper wire-ring spectacles,” Pratchett reveals with a grin. “They are going down to that level – it’s not as if anyone is going to care. I suppose it’s for those people who ring up the BBC and say that the table they were playing on in Pride And Prejudice wasn’t actually invented until three months after the date. I’d think of just telling them to piss off...”

Going Postal is released on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow.
