Antonio Banderas takes his first dive into the world of Sci-Fi and a dystopian future, yet maintaining a very philosophical edge to the film. This may be the only time we’ll get to see the actor on the big screen alongside his ex-wife, actress Melanie Griffith.

The film takes place on Earth, in the not so distant year of 2044. Our planet is suffering due to the deterioration of the environment and robots are coexisting alongside with humanity. Jacq Vaucan (Antonio Banderas) is an insurance agent in a multinational robotics company “ROC”. His job is to detect malfunctioning robot units and isolated cases of erratic behavior. During the course of his work, Jacq will witness a series of events, which may determine the future of all humanity! An android has been able to skip the second law of robotics, put forth by writer Isaac Asimov, which states that a robot cannot alter itself or others. No more spoilers… But one thing is for sure, that action and suspense are bound to follow!

The trailer guarantees fantastic visual quality and excellent special effects, which will keep us immersed in the story. As well as Antonio Banderas’ surprising new look for the film. To get a feel for Automata, think of other hits such as Will Smith’s “I, Robot” (2004), Ridley Scott’s classic “Blade Runner” (1982) and “Minority Report” (2002) directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise. They all share a very similar aesthetic, so if you’re a sci-fi fan, you can’t miss out!

The film is of Bulgarian-Spanish production, directed by filmmaker Gabe Ibañez. The cast is truly luxurious, headlining Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, as well as international stars such as Dylan McDermott (In the Line of Fire), Birgitte Hjort Sørensen (actress from the cult Danish series Borgen), Robert Forster (Breaking Bad) and Tim McInnerny (Notting Hill).

Banderas himself calls the film his “baby”, as he not only stars in the flick, but is also the main producer. He told EFE that “[It is] a philosophical, scientific concept called singularity, which is the time in which machines actually overcome the human mind. So it’s a very reflective philosophical science fiction.”

Automata will be released in the US on the 10th of October. There are no exact release dates for the rest of the world yet, but what we do know, is that the Spanish audience will get to enjoy it in the next Film Festival in San Sebastian, where the flick will be competing.

A small fact for tabloid lovers. Antonio and Melanie announced the news of their divorce, after 18 years of marriage, just during the post-production of this film, back in June. Do you think there’ll be any noticeable negative energy in the scenes they share together?

British singer/rapper, Elliot John Gleave, better known by his stage name of Example, has just released a new music video for 10 Million People, taken from his top 10 album Live Life Living. (His name arose due to his initials being E.G., which is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase exempli gratia (“for example”).

The track was written after watching a documentary on early 90s rave culture. Example explains: “I found this video online where they were interviewing people at an illegal rave. The guy with the microphone said to one of the revellers ‘surely this whole rave thing is just a fad’. And the raver replied ‘well, 10 million people can’t be wrong’.

“I wrote and produced the track in a day with Fraser T Smith. It’s my favourite song on the album and feels timeless for me. Right at the last minute I went back in and added a rap at the start, just like I did on last single ‘One More Day’.”

10 Million People is the latest single to be lifted from Example’s fifth studio album Live Life Living and will be officially released on October 5. Live Life Living was released through Epic Records on July 7 and went straight to Nº8 on the UK album charts and Nº1 on the dance charts.

The time has come! The fifth and final Season of HBOs thrilling Boardwalk Empire beings in just a week! And the story races ahead 7 years from where it left off at the end of Season 4 to 1931. This takes us out of the comfy roaring 20s and straight into the grit and grime of the Great Depression. Things are going to get messy.

Centered around the County Treasurer, Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, the action kicks off during the height of Prohibition and Nucky struggles to maintain his authority. “I don’t know if he’s a good guy. He’s a politician,” Steve Buscemi told The Guardian. “I think he’s smart, a smart businessman, and if he can avoid violence that’s his first choice. Physically I’m very different from the real guy, he was, I think, over 6ft tall and 250lb. So really I wasn’t channelling anybody. The script gets my creative juices flowing. But this is a role – because there are so many levels to this guy – that every actor dreams of. This is up there with any of the best roles I’ve played.”

The fifth and final season of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire premieres Sunday, September 7 at 9pm on HBO and on Sky Atlantic in the UK on September 13.

Labrinth is officially back! We LOVE his new music video for Let It Be, the lead single from his long-awaited second studio album. There’s something special about this track, we can’t get it out of our minds!

The British singer/producer has been quiet since his Nº1 collaboration with Emeli Sande, Beneath Your Beautiful, back in 2012. It seems that he has decided to embrace his more experimental side for his return, with more soulful sounds.

“When I was making this song I was influenced by Electric Light Orchestra, Nina Simone, James Brown and John Barry. Basically, I wanted to go gospel and soul and mix it with rock and electronic production. I know it’s a lot to ask, and I hope people get it.” Labrinth told OfficialCharts.com

The music video features a constantly moving camera as it tracks different scenes in Labrinth’s journey of creating his second album. We see him writing lyrics, getting frustrated in record company meetings, not doing the washing up, playing drums, being interviewed on a chat show – all at the same time, very cool.

We will have to wait for early 2015 for his album, but Let It Be will be officially released on September 28. This second album is the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Electronic Earth’.

Usher has just released his sexy new music video for She Came To Give It To You ft Nicki Minaj. Co-written and produced by Pharrell the clip features some brilliant dancing, a tarantula crawling on Minaj and Usher defying gravity…

The majority of the video is filmed inside what seems to be some kind of illegal gambling den and a smoke filled night club. Usher has plenty of beautiful girls trying to grab his attention and just when things reach fever pitch Nicki Minaj struts onto the scene. She shows off her butt, of course, but mostly her front side and raps lines like: “When your girl come through, Nicki gone crush her, And tell your man play the back like a spine. He only last six seconds like a Vine.” Pharrell also makes a cameo appearance in the clip.

The dancing is phenomenal – something we’ve come to expect from Usher – and includes some impeccable shadow-dancing scenes. Nicki and Usher performed the sizzling hot track at the MTV Music Video Awards on Sunday last week.

She Came to Give it to You will be featured on Ushers next album, UR, which Usher has already said will be “freaking out of here”.

Warning: the video contains inappropriate language and may be NSFW.

It’s finally here! Jessie J (26), Ariana Grande (21) and Nicki Minaj (31) have just dropped their sexy new music video for Bang Bang! The divas bring you a fantastic, colourful, retro-inspired street party!

After the trio opened the MTV VMAs with a sizzling hot performance of the song – the first time they had performed it live – they premiered the music video on MTV’s website and Vevo.

Directed by Hannah Lux Davis the video opens with a birds-eye view of Manhattan. “It’s me starting a street party that Ariana is then going to attend, and then Nicki turns up on an amazing type of transport, that I wont give away….And then we all party together on a rooftop and there’s loads of dancers, there’s a dance that you can learn that I made up.” Jessie J said to MTV News.

Interestingly, the cars are all vintage in this retro-inspired clip, but the fashion is modern. It’s a feel-good party visual for sure – talk about girl power!

Bang Bang debuted at Nº6 on the Billboard Hot 100 after it had premiered on July 29. The song is the first single from Jessie J’s upcoming album Alive. The chart topping hit can also be found on the deluxe version of Ariana Grande’s second album, My Everything.

Sean Connery, or to use his full name and title Sir Thomas Sean Connery has been polled “The Greatest Living Scot” and “Scotland’s Greatest Living National Treasure”. In 1989 he was called “The Sexiest Man Alive” by People Magazine and in 1999, at age 69, he was voted “Sexiest Man of the Century”. Today, he turns 84 and we’re celebrating by taking a moment to look at his Top 10 film performances.

Best known and loved for portraying the character James Bond and starring in 7 Bond films between 1962 and 1983 Sean Connery has had an incredible acting career. In 1988 he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the Untouchables. His film career also includes other classic films such as The Name of the Rose, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Hunt for Red October, Highlander, Murder on the Orient Express, Dragonheart, and The Rock.

He began his theatrical career as an extra in the chorus. At 16 he enlisted in the Navy and a stomach ulcer shortened his military career and forced him to return home to Edinburgh. He spent a lot of his free time bodybuilding – which was eventually what started his acting career when in 1950 he came third in the bodybuilding competition – Mr Universe. From bit parts, modelling and chorus appearances he was finally cast in a major role opposite Lana Turner in Another Time, Another Place (1958). Four years later he uttered the famous, unforgettable words, “Bond, James Bond”, and he skyrocketed into fame as the suave, sophisticated secret agent, 007.

Sean Connery supports literally hundreds of charities. One fact that very few people know, he donated $1 million dollars from his Bond film ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ (virtually his entire salary from that film) to the Scottish International Educational Trust which he co-founded. He has always said “The three areas that are very important to me are: education, culture and Scotland.”

Star actor Denzel Washington once again returns to the big screen as a butt-whipping tough guy. Having been in similar skin for his previous works such as Man on Fire (2004) or the science fiction film The Book of Eli (2010), this time Denzel is the main hero of this action thriller called The Equalizer, set on the mean streets of New York.

The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua, the American director behind the highly acclaimed Training Day (2001). Starring stars such as Denzel Washington himself, Ethan Hawke who played in Shooter (2007) and Olympus Has Fallen (2013), alongside the likes of Gerard Butler and the unmistakable Morgan Freeman.

The plot is based on the popular television series of the same name, broadcast by CBS back in the mid-eighties. Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) is a retired CIA agent who lives a peaceful live, as far away from his violent and shady past, working in a department store.

However, witnessing the mean streets, full of violence, gangs, corruption and psychopaths stir up old habits. Our hero returns to his old ways as a protector of the defenseless. Everything gets complicated when a young prostitute, played by the young Chloë Moretz (Kick Ass, Carrie) and the hero cross paths with the leader of the Russian Mafia.

The script is the work of Richard Wenk, who has extensive experience in the action genre, with sucker-punching titles such as The Expendables 2 behind him. The cast, led by the aforementioned Denzel Washington and Chloë Moretz, is made up of Marton Csokas (The Bourne Supremacy), Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and Haley Bennett.

Apart from a complete beat-down, the trailer also showcases one of Eminem’s most recent works, a collaboration with Sia for the official soundtrack titled “Guts over Feat“.

The action-packed film will debut in major US theatres on the 26th of September, while most of Europe will have to await the 17th of October for their dose of action and suspense with the blockbuster-grade actor Denzel Washington.

The guys from Coldplay have just premiered a beautiful videoclip for True Love, the third single from their latest album Ghost Stories. With beautiful lyrics, melody and a sweet clip, it’s not surprising that they’ve once again managed to set themselves amongst the highest positions in worldwide hit charts!

The lovely single was released in early August, but only now can we enjoy the accompanying video. The two dreamers in the video are played by Chris Martin and Canadian actress Jessica Lucas, known for her roles on shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2008), Cloverfield (2008) produced by J.J. Abrams or the new version of Sam Raimi’s classic Evil Dead (2013).

Swedish director Jonas Akerlund, worked on the video, as well as Magic, the first single from Ghost Stories. True Love follows another great song, A Sky Full of Stars, where Gwyneth Paltrow’s dances around Sydney’s King Street cheering on and performing for over 250 fans.

The charming clip for True Love was recorded entirely in Los Angeles (California) and tells a story of two young strangers who have the same dream of becoming ballet dancers. Throughout the clip, we see the exact representation of how life treats us and all the difficulties the heroes have to overcome just to fit into society. However, magic, destiny and true love make all those unattainable dreams seem not so far away after all…

Czech artist Mila Fürstová created the beautiful artistic concept for the new videoclip. The dynamic of the clip is based on the heroes dressed in enormous fat suits, adding a touch of a tragicomedy aftertaste. Aside from this artistic clip, Mila has been collaborating with the band for all the art surrounding the image of Ghost Stories!

Consisting of 9 original songs, Ghost Stories is the 6th album released by Coldplay. Having topped the UK charts selling over 82,000 copies in one day and reaching the Nº1 spot in iTunes in over 100 countries, made this the fastest selling album worldwide so far in 2014!

“Ideals are peaceful… History is violent.” The first full length trailer for Fury has just been released and it’s pretty damn awesome. The footage is spectacular – it’s intense, gritty and totally badass!

Vince Mancini stated on Film Drunk – “As I’ve said on many occasions, you can never have too many movies about killing Nazis.” We agree with him!

Outnumbered and outgunned the Fury team face overwhelming odds in their deadly mission behind enemy lines. The US army sergeant Wardaddy, played by Brad Pitt, commands the Sherman tank Fury and it’s 5-man crew in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Brad Pitt leads a star studded cast including Logan Lerman and Shia LaBeouf in this World War II epic. They live, breathe and fight in their tank. Lerman plays a very young soldier who has to learn to deal with the reality and turmoil of war. Of course, things get bloody and violent..According to the Director David Ayer, Shia Labeouf gives a performance that will shock you.

Fury will close the London Film Festival and open in the US on October 17.
