Jeff Bridges chats to us about movies, Kingsman, westerns, Iron Man and more...
When preparing for an interview it can often be a double edged sword if you choose to look at other peoples’ work. Sometimes you read an interview and the answers can look frighteningly short, so panic might set in that perhaps that person isn’t very chatty, or doesn’t like doing them (though often publications just choose to use highlights), but I have to say that with Jeff Bridges, I’m glad I’d read Celia Walden’s talk with him for the Telegraph first.
I wouldn’t usually reference what I’d read in an introduction, but once you know you’re going to be sat in a room with Jeff Bridges, alone, for fifteen minutes, you need as much preparation as possible – he is, after all, a cinematic legend who needs no introduction.

A huge part of the fun for a show like Game of Thrones, is not just waiting to see what happens each week, or each season, but debating and speculating as to what will happen at the end of this landmark show. We fans do this with many shows and movies, but the nature of HBO's Game of Thrones has so far made it both less easy to predict and also far more fun to do so.
However it occurred to me recently that there are many people out there who love the show, and yet have no idea at all about the many theories and the foreshadowing of future plots that goes on. For example many of my friends and family that watch it every week were completely caught unawares when Jon Snow ...........Wait a minute.
I better stop there for now!
Before we start I should point out the following.

As the DVD and Blu-ray release of Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven rides into your homes, we take a look at those heroes, anti-heroes, and low down dirty scoundrels that would make up our own cinematic posse. Sadly, none of the movie cowboys come from the Mario Van Peebles, ahead of its time, diversity epic, Posse, despite a cast that includes Stephen Baldwin, Billy Zane, and Big Daddy Kane. Alas.
Imagine if Thandie Netwon’s Westworld progressive, Maeve Millay, were to swipe on her generic tablet to the page marked “Host Influences and Templates”, then we’d like to think that amongst the hundreds of profiles garnered from one of Hollywood’s richest genres, The Western, this mostly magnificent seven would make up the first page.

The 12th Edn Award was presented to Marianne Lévy-Leblond. She received the award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the development of the European documentary culture, with her work in the field of online and interactive documentary.
As Head of Web and Transmedia Productions within the web department at Arte France, Marianne Lévy-Leblond has supported innovative cross-platform and interactive projects allowing innovative creators to work with new forms of documentary storytelling. Upon the presentation of the Edn Award, Edn Film & Media Consultant Ove Rishøj Jensen stated: "Marianne Lévy-Leblond has been part of creating structures that many of us will operate in, in our future work with documentary stories. She had been part of developing projects that we in the future will refer to as early interactive classics. For this pioneering work, we are paying tribute to her, by presenting her the 2016 Edn Award."
Among the many unique projects Lévy-Leblond has passionately supported are titles such as "Do Not Track," a web project illustrating how data shared by users on the web benefits large corporations like Google, Facebook and other global players in the field. Interactive works like "Alma" and the webseries "Affaires Familiales" are also on the long list of projects she commissioned and supported. With a view on "Alma," a story about social issues and preventing violence in war-torn Guatemala, Lévy-Leblond explained: "Interactive documentary is not a geek affair, it can bring stories to life from a world that is far away when seen from our sometimes very abstract western preoccupations. And it can do so by using these new tools to make viewers meet characters on very different terms from the ones we're used to through papers or television".
Prior to her current position, Lévy-Leblond has worked as a documentary commissioning editor at Arte France for 10 years, having been an executive producer for numerous documentaries and TV programs. The award was presented to Lévy-Leblond at The Edn Award ceremony on 18 March 2016 during the Edn workshop Docs in Thessaloniki. The workshop was held in the framework of the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival Images of the 21st Century.
The Edn Award is presented annually during Docs in Thessaloniki to an institution, group or private person for outstanding contribution to the development of the European documentary culture.
Previously The Edn Award has been presented to:
2015 Caspar Sonnen for his pioneering commitment to interactive documentary work
2014 Tue Steen Müller for a lifelong commitment to the documentary genre
2013 Stefano Tealdi and Joan Gonzales for initiating and running Documentary in Europe and DocsBarcelona, respectively

Folks, sometimes you read something that you just have to share. In this case, it's new that millennial boy-bands The Backstreet Boys and NSynch are teaming up to make "zombie western futuristic horror movie". And if you're thinking, "Well, they aren't making so much as maybe starring in it" you would be wrong. Backstreet's Nick Carter is tasked to not only star, but write the film.
Now, before you ponder which studio would enter into such a foolhardy arrangement let's cut to the chase - it's The Asylum, creators of Sharknado and Z Nation most notably.
The film, currently titled Dead 7, is about a ragtag band of gunslingers operating during a post-apocalyptic zombie plague. I'm guessing it's based on Seven Samurai/Magnificent 7.
