There’s a new issue of DVD & Blu-ray Review out next Wednesday and right from the off it’s a stonking good read! There’s some big news to kick things off, as The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Thomas Dekker shares the pain of cancellation and lets off a lot of steam about Dollhouse. If you want to know what Joss Whedon *really* thinks about his underperforming TV series you have to read this!
Elsewhere in news, we chat exclusively to director Duncan Jones (aka Zowie Bowie), who reveals how he got to play ground control to Sam Rockwell’s Major Tom in the sci-fi gem Moon...
And Everyone’s Talking About... no-budget zombie-flick Colin, which out-performed its £45 costs to play at Cannes and land theatrical and DVD releases. Did you know ex-Review staffer Rosie is actually in the film? We chat to writer/director Marc Price who credits his success to sitting and watching DVDs. Nice work, fella!
We also chat to Honor Blackman about how she graduated from The Avengers to Goldfinger. And you’d be surprised how many Bond flicks she hasn’t seen...
An in-depth interview with legendary director Sam Raimi adds to our glut of horror coverage (our make me an expert feature will also tell you everything you need to know about horror franchises), and we get a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sit in on the recording of the commentary for Looking For Eric!
As per usual, we’ve got the most comprehensive DVD and Blu-ray reviews on the planet. Here’s just a taster of what discs we’ve been spinning this month: Coraline; An American Werewolf In London on Blu-ray; Wolverine; FAQ About Time Travel; Synecdoche, New York; Rudo & Cursi; Anything For Her; Gladiator on Blu-ray; The Last House On The Left remake; Telstar; Ip Man; Le Donk And Sco-Zay-Zee; The Uninvited; Fast & Furious; seven Luc Besson Blu-rays; and one of the greatest films ever made – FW Murnau’s Sunrise.
We’ve got our office copies in and as Tony the Tiger would say, they look ggggrrrreeeeaaaaaaaaatttt! Subscribers should get theirs soon (barring any post delays due to the ongoing strike). Everyone else, start queuing at your local newsagent next Wednesday 30 September.
