One of the most talked about presentations at Disney’s D23 Expo over the weekend has been that from Marvel Studios, who helped introduce us to the two films that will kick off “Stage Three” of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) next year: Doctor Strange, preceded by the third Captain America film Civil War. 

If you are in Australia and watch Last Week Tonight with John Oliver – HBO’s weekly hilarious news series – chances are you were told to call a number which, being in Australia, wasn’t possible to call. Well, thankfully, this is the internet and someone else has done that job for you. Here’s what happened when…

Today we’re excited to bring you the exclusive premiere from alt-pop singer, songwriter and dancer Leo Rose. The track is the artist’s third single, entitled “LOVE?”, the end of a trilogy of songs “about self-actualisation and self discovery”. The excitingly original track starts out trap-like, before returning to his roots a little over halfway through,…

Last week, we returned home following an incredible trip to Canada that ended with a weekend in Edmonton for the 36th Annual Edmonton Folk Music Festival. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the riverside city, and perched on natural ampitheatres against almost all of the festival’s seven stages, there was a comfort and beauty to…

Sony Pictures Releasing’s comedic romance Spin Out (originally titled Circle Work) will be setting its sights on the Country town of Shepparton, Victoria this Tuesday, August 18th, as it commences principal photography of the production. 

It was perhaps a destiny Disney signed into action the minute they took over the iconic franchise – but it still has us very, very excited. As Universal Studios has done with the Harry Potter series’ Wizarding World, Disneyland will be expanding both Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and Disneyland in Anaheim, California, to…

In addition to Star Wars Land, which was also announced today at Disney’s D23 Expo in California, Orlando’s Hollywood Studios will be seeing another 11 acre expansion in the form of Toy Story Land. Unlike Star Wars Land, however, Toy Story Land has already been a tested formula among Disney Parks in Paris and Hong…

When the first Hitman movie was released in 2007, it received an abysmal 14% on Rotten Tomatoes. Somewhat surprisingly, Fox decided to try again with the brand and announced a “reboot” of the series in 2013. Now, Hitman: Agent 47 is set for a release – this week in the USA and next week here in Australia…

Though the Australian tabloids pretty much ruined this surprise announcement earlier in the year, when Orlando Bloom was spotted in and around Gold Coast where they were filming the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film, Dead Man Tell No Tales, Disney confirmed at their D23 Expo today that yes – Will Turner is back. IGN reported…

As it had long been rumoured, Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow has been officially confirmed at the Disney D23 Expo to be the man in charge of the final film in the new Star Wars Trilogy, the yet-to-be-named Episode IX. Trevorrow is surely one of the most sought after Directors in Hollywood right now, after revitalising…

This weekend in California, Disney are holding their annual D23 Expo, bringing with them a slew of announcements and presentations from Kingdom Hearts to Marvel, Star Wars to Pixar. And one of the earliest presentations has come from the Animation department – who, among many other announcements we’ll be talking about in other articles – confirmed without any question…

Pixar first announced they were working on a film centering on Dia De Los Muertos – the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead – all the way back in 2012. But until today, we didn’t have a name for the film.

As reported by Collider yesterday, Patrick Stewart has been letting some details on the third Wolverine solo film slip while he’s been on the promotional trail for the new Starz TV series Blunt Talk.

Join us on the third day of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival in Canada with the likes of Bear’s Den, The Milk Carton Kids, Lucius, Matt Andersen, Richard Thompson, Hanggai and many more!

Vinyl – HBO’s new series from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter (Boardwalk Empire) – is set to take us into the sex and drugs fuelled rock n’ roll lifestyle of the 1970’s. And with the new trailer, it looks like we should get ourselves set for some stylised mayhem that would make Guy Ritchie proud, a…

Hot off the heels of the announcements over the past few months of a new series of X-Files, a 24 reboot (sans Jack Bauer) and a TV version of Minority Report, it seems that Fox – the TV network who over the years have brought us the likes of game changing series like Arrested Development and…

We take you to the second day of the action at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival in Canada with the headlining performances of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Frazey Ford.

Chicago is transformed by Lollapalooza every year, giving the some 100,000 attendees, alongside those who didn’t get a ticket, the chance to experience the bands and the flavour of the incredible music that the event offers. Last weekend we headed to Chicago to check out the festival and also see what else the city had…

We’ve travelled to Edmonton, Canada to bring you Australian exclusive coverage of the 36th annual Edmonton Folk Festival. Day one kicked off with performances in their beautiful main stage ampitheatre that included Australia’s Angus and Julia Stone, Iceland’s Of Monsters and Men, Niger’s Bombino and more! Enjoy these photos by Larry Heath here:

With what must have been hundreds of performances over three days on more than eight stages, Chicago’s iconic Lollapalooza festival has its fair share of eclectism and choice for all attendees. And alongside the big names – from Paul McCartney to Metallica – there are plenty of unknowns too. Emerging local, national and international artists…

At Friday’s In The House screening of the classic anime film Akira, held at Sydney’s Event Cinemas on George Street, we asked the audience the following question: And today we bring you the answer! The reason was quite a simple one: because it was almost entirely set at night.  Typically, night settings are a rare…

The evacuation lasted less than an…

Chicago Metallica fans – including a group who were lucky enough to be positioned on stage – were treated to a two hour headlining show at Lollapalooza that, with the exception of “Cyanide” from Death Magnetic, featured songs from their entire pre-1998 cataloge, with a track from all…

Photo Credit: Daniel Boczarski Sir Paul McCartney made his Lollapalooza debut last night, helping kick off the iconic three day event in Chicago with a massive two hour, 15 minute set that saw the legendary artist delve into his catalogue of Wings and Beatles songs that had the tens of thousands of fans singing along…

The sun may well and truly have set on Friday in Australia, but in a few hours, it’ll be rising over the city of Chicago and thus heralding the first day of Lollapalooza 2015. Grant Park in Chi-town will be turned into a hive of music for three days and nights, with thousands upon thousands…
