Jumpcut

There is a new Renault Clio ad featuring, as before, Annelise Hesme. To watch, enter the flash app and click “Watch TV”.
Facebook has no less than five appreciation societies in her honour.

Seems that the short story Details by China Mieville has been made into a screenplay, the rights for which have been acquired by Paramount Vantage.

This Renault Clio ad was popular (well it was popular with me) over the summer. It’s kinda cool/quirky, but it’s best feature is surely the stunningly beautiful Annelise Hesme.

Hesme was also in a film called “Hors de Prix” this summer with Audrey Tautou but I couldn’t find an English copy after a quick search - my French is definitely not good enough for the native language version.

Frank Miller’s latest graphic novel to be adapted for film is 300. The trailer looks great, a cross between Spartan: Total Warrior, God of War, and this new-school comicbook/animation style. What’s more interesting is that the whole thing was filmed against coloured backgrounds, then CGI-ified to make it purdy, and it certainly looks that.

I opened up Arena to find this! A light sensor controlled, winter-wonderland of flashing blue LEDs! Brilliant marketing.

Irn-Bru vs. The Snowman

Filmfour has been rebranded as Film4 [links to the same site :)], and made available for free on UK Freeview! You may be aware that this actually happened about two weeks ago, but I’m only reporting it now because I can only now recieve it. I don’t know whether Peterborough has had it’s transmitters upgraded or if it was the weird weather we were having before that was causing a problem or something.
The BBC reports that the previous head of Film4 stepped down from his position “just days after the channel relaunched.”
