Reel Weekend | 11 April 2008
William Shakespeare might be the world's greatest ever playwright, dealing with all facets of the human condition, but if he'd been around today he's almost certainly be working in movies. Probably churning out scripts for Adam Sandler vehicles. But since we don't have the man himself, his plays continue to provide rich source material for the cinema screen. The Banquet is the latest movie to take inspiration from the bard, in this case Hamlet. This is the classic tale of murder, revenge and royal power struggles, as relocated to 1st century China.
Behind the scenes: Quantum of Solace
Reel Report | 07 April 2008
An early look behind the scenes on the latest James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, due out in late 2008. In this short video Reel Report gets a peek at what we can expect in the eagerly anticipated follow-up to Casino Royale, from locations in Panama to low-flying planes in the desert. We can't tell too much about the plot from this short featurette but Quantum looks set to deliver the requisite amounts of action, drama and Daniel Craig in a tux.

Pete Travis' Vantage Point is very much a post-24 action thriller, with jerky handheld camera work, sweaty FBI agents running around and a real-time urgency to the plot. It focuses on the attempted assassination of the US president, played by William Hurt, at an anti-terrorism summit in Spain, and we see it from the perspective of eight individuals, including Dennis Quaid's secret service agent, Sigourney Weaver's newswoman and Forest Whittaker's camcorder-wielding tourist...

Director Roland Emmerich takes some poetic license with history as he brings his vision of pre-historic adventure to cinemas this spring. Cavemen with American accents, giant sabretooth tigers and huge battle sequences featuring hundreds of rampaging mammoths may not be an accurate portrayal of the past, but it might be an entertaining one.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Despite being in his 60s, Ford still looks the part in his hat and whip combo and the film looks set to deliver all the artifact chasing fun you expect from a Jones movie. Steven Spielberg returns to the director's chair to oversee the proceedings...

After a five-year break from directing, Matrix directors Andy and Larry Wachowski return to the big screen with their colourful interpretation of classic kids' cartoon Speed Racer. The neon colours and cartoon-inspired visuals definitely won't be to all tastes, but the film looks set to deliver hugely ambitious use of green screen and CGI racing scenes in order to tell the tale of one boy and his car.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Game Trailers | 14 January 2008
The next Star Wars game from LucasArts employs next-gen technology to bring the Force to life in an explosive new way. One example of this is a new system that will give non-player characters a sense of self-preservation and the means to act accordingly based on their situation – so a character who is knocked off a ledge could intelligently grab on to the ledge with one or both hands rather than blindly plummet to his doom.

Devil May Cry 4 is the fourth installment in Capcom's demon-hunting series, but this time it stars a new character, Nero, and his powerful demonic arm. The game looks set to deliver more of the same over-the-top action fans of the series expect when it's released in February this year.
