After the ill-judged scattershot "satire" of Borat (which hit far too many soft targets – ageing American feminists, for heaven's sake!) Sacha Baron Cohen raises his game somewhat with Brüno (2009, 18, Universal). Fired from his Eurotrash TV show Funkyzeit , the eponymous, gay Austrian fashionista goes west to become a "straight" star "like Tom Cruise". En...

American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis has a couple of projects in the works. One is his co-writing deal with Gus Van Sant, where the pair will chronicle the lives and odd, tragic suicides of artist/filmmaker couple Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake.

Until recently, Roger Avary was a respected if controversial writer/director, best known for "Rules Of Attraction" (easily the best of the Bret Easton Ellis adaptations) and for breaking up with video store-days friend Quentin Tarantino over accusations he was shafted on credit for the "Pulp Fiction" screenplay (he only got a story credit). On the geek side, Avary worked on "Silent...

Welcome to your Friday morning television briefing. ABC has released the first promo for Season Six of Lost, the series' final season. But, be warned, the fifteen-second clip doesn't contain any new footage, which many believe is proof positive that the network will be going out of their way to avoid revealing just what happened after Juliet detonated the hydrogen bomb at the end of last season.

Mad Woman: Charlize Theron will go Down Under now that she's been cast in Mad Max: Fury Road , better known as Mad Max 4 , if it's known at all. The George Miller directed pic has been on hold for over two years but filming is expected to start next August in Australia.
