After a cameo appearance alongside Wallace and Gromit in A Close Shave, Shaun the Sheep found his way to the small screen for a Cbbc spinoff in 2007 and he's been quietly delivering the goods there ever since. The TV show plays out the characters' adventures in bite-size 7-minute instalments, but Aardman has now extended the concept to feature-length running time for Shaun the Sheep The Movie.
Though this might sound like stretching an idea thin, directors Mark Burton and Richard Starzack make it all work fantastically well, crafting a stop-motion animation packed with an abundance of wit, charm and invention.
This is on a much smaller scale than Aardman's recent blockbuster The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, following Shaun and his flock into the big...

Like the Super Bowl in the United States, World Cup soccer is an enormous showcase for advertisers abroad—and Hollywood often pays millions to showcase upcoming big movies in front of huge television audiences. In Britain, where the games air live in primetime, 20th Century Fox secured a halftime slot for a clip of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, which opens there on July 17.
Though it was later in the evening, younger viewers presumably staying up late to watch the Argentina/Netherlands semifinal on ITV Wednesday night were treated to a violent sequence where a devious ape tricks...

With a little over 100 plus film line-up (a whopping 2000+ titles were submitted), almost 70 are world premieres: there is the highly anticipated sophomore film (that has been on our radar since it first went into production) with M. Blash’s (The Wait), Joe Swanberg who makes SXSW his second home will premiere Drinking Buddies, veteran indie filmmaker John Sayles saddles in with Go For Sisters, and rounding out the Narrative Spotlight section we’ve got The Bounceback from Bryan Poyser, Loves Her Gun from Geoff Marslett along with titles we thought might break into Park City, but found an Austin home instead with Jacob Vaughan’s Milo and...

Ex-Razorlight star Andy Burrows and British composer Ilan Eshkeri have been confirmed as the artists penning the soundtrack to Channel 4's update of the iconic Christmas TV animation The Snowman. The Snowman and the Snowdog is a sequel to the Oscar-nominated original and marks 30 years since the first film aired. Burrows and Eshkeri recorded the score at Abbey Road Studios earlier this month with the London Metropolitan Orchestra. The 60-piece orchestra were joined by a choir featuring Emmy the Great, Edith Bowman, All Angels, Celia Graham and musical backing from Ash's Tim Wheeler and Dom Howard from Muse. 'Light the Night' is the official single for the film, which will accompany the flying sequence featuring the Snowman and the Snowdog. In the original, Aled Jones's 'Walking in the Air' was used. Burrows left Razorlight (more)...

Green Day has released, "Oh Love," the first official single off its upcoming power-pop album ¡Uno!. It seems like those hoping for another politically charged record like 2004's American Idiot and 2009's 21st Century Breakdown are out of luck.
"We were just thinking about making a killer power-pop record -- dirtier, back to basics," bassist Mike Dirnt told Rolling Stone. "We tapped into our version of Exile on Main Street."
"Far away, far away, waste away tonight, I'm wearing my heart on a noose, far away, far away, waste away tonight, tonight my heart's on the loose," Billie Joe Armstrong gently croons on the track.
The band's trilogy of albums, titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, will be released over this fall and winter, beginning with the release of ¡Uno! on Sept. 25. The ¡Uno! cover boasts frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's face, while ¡Dos! features bassist Dirnt and ¡Tré! highlights drummer Tre Cool.

Green Day will release two documentaries later this year. Producers Tim Lynch and Tim Wheeler will oversee two films about the band's history and current work, reports Billboard. The first film will feature footage of Green Day recording their three upcoming albums ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! as well as rehearsing for Japanese and European concerts. The second documentary is to include never-before-seen clips of Green Day prior to their 1994 Us breakthrough record Dookie. Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong said that Lynch and Wheeler's films will not fit the style of traditional rock music documentaries. "It's not going to be the sitting down, head shot (more)...

Watching the evolution of Green Day has been a pretty interesting thing for music fans. Starting as a punk band in the late 80s, the group blasted onto the scene with 1994's Dookie and took their music to another level with the rock opera American Idiot ten years later. They adapted that album for Broadway (it might also hit the big screen), but they're still making plenty of new music. According to Billboard (via The Playlist), Green Day will release three all-new albums between September 2012 and January 2013, and they'll also be the subject of two new documentaries, one of which hopes to hit Sundance 2013. More below! Directors Tim Lynch and Tim Wheeler will collaborate to bring us a documentary about the making of the band's three new albums - called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tre! - and another doc will be comprised of pre-Dookie footage of the band living ...

You may not have heard of Luke Snellin, and that would make him one of the most talented and promising young filmmakers that you haven’t heard of. Don’t believe us? Watch some of his films, including "Disco" and "Mixtape" below, and you may just change your mind. It’s with a great deal of excitement then that we’re able to report on the news, via press release, that the BAFTA-nominated writer/director will soon be directing his debut feature. We may have another Rupert Wyatt/Joe Cornish/Richard Ayoade/[insert name of talented, young British director here] on our hands.
His debut will go by the name of “The Wanderers,” and will be a “non-conventional Brit Pop teen musical set in Colchester in 1996.” The story will follow a 16-year-old as he encounters sex and relationships for the first time as his band (the titular “The Wanderers”) strive to become the next big Brit Pop sensation.
