A new teaser trailer for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is here – and it’s hard to dispute Cara Delevingne and Dane DeHaan have really set the sci-fi bar high for 2017.

From the man who brought us The Fifth Element, Luc Besson’s space opera is based on the Frenchman Pierre Christin’s graphic novels and follows the intergalactic investigations of two-time travelling agents, Laurenline (Delevingne) and Valérian (DeHaan).

Joining them is an all-star cast including John Goodman, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, Clive Owen and Herbie Hancock, who will populate the universe with a diverse mix of aliens and characters (cue amazing merchandise).

Will Smith’s latest role as a New York advertising executive overcoming private turmoil in the ensemble drama Collateral Beauty promises a stellar performance that’s definitely given us chills today – and we’re not ruling out Oscars either.

What’s the film about?

Released by Warner Bros Pictures, a new trailer gives another brief glimpse of Smith’s character Howard Inlet, who wants to ‘fix his mind’ after a terrible family tragedy – the death of his child.

JK Rowling has explained why there’s going to be five instalments of Harry Potter franchise spin-off, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

The forthcoming Harry Potter spin-off, starring Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterston, was originally planned as a trilogy, but was recently announced as a five-movie run during a London press conference.

At last, you can reveal yourself to the Jedi.

You’ve enjoyed the original Star Wars trilogy dozens of times (and endured the prequels once), but haven’t you always wanted to be a part of that galaxy far, far away?

Sure, when you were little you nicked one of your dad’s waistcoats and drew a stripe in red crayon down your best pair of trousers and pretended to be Han Solo, but wouldn’t you like to fight the Empire – or perhaps join it – as, um, yourself.

The San Francisco home made famous in the Nineties thanks to the film Mrs Doubtfire has sold for over $4 million (£3,100,000.)

The iconic Victorian house was the setting for the 1993 film starring Robin Williams and it became a shrine for the actor in 2014 after he committed suicide.

It was listed in September at $4.45 million but reportedly sold in the end for $4.15 million.

‘Because it’s built on a wide corner lot, the public rooms are large scale and the home has an open feel,’ said listing agent Steven Gothelf.

Two writers from Star Wars spin off, Rogue One, are using imagery from the film to protest against US President-elect Donald Trump and it’s brilliant.

With large portions of the world being left flabbergasted over Trump’s victory in the recent US election, Rogue One writers Chris Weitz and Gary Whitta have now connected these events to the forthcoming movie’s themes of rebellion using a special insignia.

The image itself combines the symbol for the Rebellion with a safety pin, something which was used following Brexit to help combat racism.

Yup, everybody’s favourite Wookiee is indeed featuring in the movie, but given it focuses on a young Mr Solo, that leaves us with just one question – namely will we be seeing a younger Chewie also?

Actress Keira Knightly has slammed Hollywood’s gender pay inequality as one of the main reasons she’s turned down certain film roles in the past.

The Collateral Beauty star told Grazia Magazine the divide – which continues to separate the earning power of male and female stars was ‘ridiculous’ – and it was time for change.

‘The Hollywood pay gap is ridiculous and we have to do something about it,’ she said.

‘I’ve turned down jobs many times because of it. It’s s**t.’

Film reviewers have now had their say on Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the first installment in the new five-part Harry Potter spin-off series.

Previews of the JK Rowling’s self-penned movie have produced a mixed to positive response from the Press, bagging between two and five stars.

In general, critics have praised the movie’s stunning visuals, its moments of humour and, in particular, Eddie Redmayne’s performance as Newt Scamander in the magical, 1920s-set epic.

However, many of them found the movie to be flawed, particularly regarding the… Read the full story

If billionaire TV personality Donald Trump’s rise to power has taught us anything, it’s that 2016 is the year of the celebrity.

If you ask us, Trump — who has appeared in dozens of TV shows including his own, The Apprentice — probably thinks of himself as a true American idol, an Elvis Presley figure, rather than a political liberator.

From Trump to Kim Kardashian, celebs are increasingly central in our everyday lives. And it does make you wonder — have things changed that much since the days of Beatlemania, or Elvis Presley’s megastardom? And if not, what… Read the full story

Houston’s smash hit from 1992 film The Bodyguard took the top spot in all virtually all age groups in new British research published by Samsung Electronics.

The only exception were the 18 to 24-year-olds who voted for Titanic’s My Heart Will Go On, and the 25 to 34-year-olds who said Rocky’s Eye Of The Tiger was their number one.

Disney’s forthcoming Beauty And The Beast reboot is set to feature some new lyrics in Gaston’s solo number, which will be more ‘risque’.

In the original 1991 movie, Gaston’s solo song was essentially a massive all-singing ego trip, complimenting his prowess in wrestling matches and how he has ‘biceps to spare’, while showing off his frankly unsettling hairy animated chest.

However some lyrics originally written by the late Howard Ashman were left unused in the movie, but they’re set to make a comeback… Read the full story
