Hammer Films returns to life with a new owner and a new slate of movies, and up first is the previously announced Doctor Jekyll, which stars Eddie Izzard in the title role.
Doctor Jekyll will release in UK cinemas on October 27, and the official trailer has been debuted by the freshly relaunched Hammer this morning. Watch it down below.
Director Joe Stephenson recently told Fangoria, “There’ve been over 100 cinematic adaptations of Stevenson’s novella, but there has never been a trans Dr. Jekyll. There seem to be some assumptions that because Nina is a trans character, we are somehow going to make it about gender. That is not the case; the themes of our film are true to the original work.”

To mark the release of Journey’s End on 4th June, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray.
Based on Rc Sherriff’s play and novel of the same name Journey’s End is set in March 1918 as C-Company, led by a war-weary Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin) arrives in northern France to take its turn in the front-line trenches. Told that a German offensive is imminent Stanhope drowns his fears in whisky whilst the officers and their cook (Toby Jones) attempt to distract themselves in their dugout with talk of food and life before war. They are joined by Raleigh (Asa Butterfield), a young new officer fresh out of training excited about his first real posting, and a chance to serve under Stanhope. Raleigh’s naivety serves as a stark contrast to the other men’s impending fear as the tension rises and the attack draws ever closer.

Last night at the glorious Picturehouse Central in London we attended the speical fan screening to mark the release of Saul Dibb’s latest film, Journey’s End. The World War 1 drama stars Sam Claflin, Paul Bettany, Asa Butterfield, Stephen Graham, and the wonderful Toby Jones. Butterfeld, Dibb and the writer Simon Reade and producer Guy de Beaujeu spoke to us on the red carpet. The young actor also sat down with the resplendent host of Chelsea Pensioners.
The film is based on Rc Sherriff’s seminal British play about WW1, set in a dugout in Aisne in 1918. It is the story of a group of British officers, led by the mentally disintegrating young officer Stanhope, variously awaiting their fate. The mixture of burgeoning new talent with some accomplished actors allows the inherent drama to come naturally to the fore.

First look at Skins alumni Jack O'Connell as Charlie in the latest Michael Morpurgo film adaptation, Private Peaceful, which has been filming in Norfolk.
He's seen here with co-star Alexandra Roach as Molly, the girl that both he and his brother Tommo, (played by George McKay), fall in love with.
Private Peaceful details the gritty rural lives and loves of Tommo and Charlie – two young brothers – and their poor Devonshire family from 1909 until 1916, when the outbreak of war destroys their country idyll. Both join up (one under age) leaving behind the beautiful Molly who is the love of both their lives.
The young men survive gas attacks, shelling, German troops and the appalling deaths of their close friends. But one thing they cannot escape is summary military justice.
The film is being produced by Guy De Beaujeu and Simon Reade (also the screenwriter), and directed by Pat O’Connor, with...
