David Arnold | CASINO ROYALE IN CONCERT

On Saturday, September 30th, the Royal Albert Hall will reverberate to the sound of Bond, for on that day David Arnold will host Casino Royale Live. Backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Arnold’s powerful score will be performed in sync with a screening of Daniel Craig’s debut appearance in the role, and the 21st film in the Bond canon.

In a break from last-minute preparations, the Grammy and Emmy award-winning composer took some time to discuss the event, what it’s like to play that iconic theme and collaborating with the late, great Chris Cornell.

STARBURST: So, why Casino Royale?

David Arnold: There’s never been a Bond film performed with a live orchestra before, which makes the occasion very exciting. After Independence Day, just talking with the Albert Hall about doing another one, and knowing how popular these films are still, and how much reach they have,

THE SHOWDOWN VOL. 2: THE RACE FROM HELL

Like your comics bonkers and full of carnage? If so, The Showdown: Vol. 2: The Race from Hell could be just the read for you.

From Russ Lippitt and Ezequiel Pineda, what we have here is the second part of an all-out race through hell as orchestrated by none other than Satan himself. Dubbed “The Showdown”, this extreme and brutal battle of the twisted race tracks of the underworld sees a whole host of ghoulish and garish gangs striving to topple the rest in this death match for the ages. There’s vampires, werewolves, skinheads, glamour girls and all kinds of inventive, demented sorts included here; all eager to get one-up on the competition no matter what the cost.

For those looking for something a little different to the usual comic book fodder

DOCTOR WHO Movie Star Daphne Ashbrook’s Autobiography Out Now on Audiobook

Daphne Ashbrook's autobiography has been released by Fantom as an audiobook on CD, read by the author herself.

From the press release:

Witty, self-effacing and painfully honest; the themes of life, death and laughter come together as Daphne Ashbrook recounts her many on-and off-screen scrapes with mortality. Packed with rich anecdotes from her career in TV, stage and film, this refreshingly candid and conversational memoir spans a childhood in a theatrical family to pulling back the curtain of Hollywood, revealing the glamour and ridiculousness of a business mired in a struggle between art and profit.

Known for both her comic timing and deep emotional portrayals, Daphne has appeared in many TV and film roles including the 1996 Read more...

SCANNERS TV Series in Development

In a landscape where so many genre favourite movies are being adapted as small screen series, you can now add David Cronenberg’s Scanners to the list.

As per Deadline, Michael Ellenberg’s Media Res and Bron Studios have picked up the rights to Cronenberg’s iconic 1981 movie, with the plan being to “develop and package the TV series adaptation with a high-end filmmaker and showrunner before shopping it to premium services”.

If you remember back, there were actually plans to adapt Scanners as a TV show back in 2011. At that time, Switchblade Romance’s Alexandre Aja was on board to direct the series. After all went eerily quiet on that

CULT OF CHUCKY

Following 2013’s Curse of Chucky, everyone’s favourite Good Guy is back to cause chaos once more. The question is, is this seventh installment in the famed Child’s Play franchise a worthy entry or merely an attempt to cash-in on an established property in a genre often bereft of new ideas?

Picking up directly after the aforementioned Curse – itself a clever reboot for the series – Cult of Chucky sees Nica (Fiona Dourif) locked up in an asylum for the criminally insane after the

Michelle Williams Joins Tom Hardy's VENOM

As the Tom Hardy-headlined Venom movie continues to move forward, the film is on the brink of bringing in an impressive new addition in the form of the Oscar-nommed Michelle Williams.

Courtesy of Variety, the Manchester by the Sea, My Week with Marilyn and, err, Halloween: H20 actress is in advanced talks with Sony Pictures to potentially play a District Attorney who could also be a love interest for Hardy’s Eddie Brock.

Previously, we’d heard reports that the movie was to feature Ann Weying, the ex-wife of Brock and someone who herself briefly became She-Venom, aka the Bride of Venom. Could it that maybe Williams is playing a new

THE MIST Cancelled After Just One Season

In some news that, let’s face it, won’t come as any real surprise, Spike have moved to cancel The Mist after just one season.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the series has been canned with dwindling ratings being cited as the primary reason. Despite grabbing 1.2 million viewers for its US premiere, the show quickly struggled to push past the 800,000 mark for subsequent episodes and soon struggled to even crack the top thirty scripted shows on US television when it came to viewing figures.

Here in the UK, The Mist found its home on Netflix. Despite many genre fans wanting the show to succeed, it soon became apparent

Space Junk – Kickstarter Now Live

Having released their pilot episode online, the creators of web series Space Junk are now seeking funding to help them make the next five episodes.

Following the crew of the Really Invincible III, Macclesfield Division, this lo-fi sci-fi explores what life would really be like out in the darkness of space, featuring well-known British TV actor Mark Benton alongside Coronation Street star Katy Cavanagh.

When we interviewed the cast on set earlier this year, writer/actor Neil Warhurst described Space Junk’s style of comedy: “These ordinary people – ordinary, bored, failed, pretty tragic people – their overall mission is quite epic, they want to discover new life, but they’ve been there

LITTLE ME: THE A TO Z OF MATT LUCAS

From Shooting Stars to Little Britain to his recent role as the comically bumbling sidekick Nardole on Doctor Who, Matt Lucas is one of the most loved comedians in the country. In his new autobiography (100% written by him), the actor opens up about his life behind the comedy in a funny but also very frank way.

As can be deduced from the title, Little Me is broken into alphabetised chapters. This is a novel approach to the usual form of the biography which helps to keep things fresh. In particular, the structure allows Lucas to flit around his life at random – as if he’s using a TARDIS, you might say which actually makes it a more engaging narrative as we gradually unfold the whole story.

Lucas has led a fascinating life,
