Edgar Wright's reboot of 'The Running Man' is in active development.The 49-year-old director is working on a movie based on Stephen King's novel of the same name and has promised that his take will be more faithful to the story than the 1987 dystopian flick that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.Edgar told the Happy Sad Confused podcast: "'The Running Man' is something that is in active development. "Why is that interesting to me? It's like, I like the film but I like the book more, and they didn't really adapt the book. Even as a teenager when I saw the Schwarzenegger film I was like, 'Oh, this isn't like the book at all!' And I think, 'Nobody's done that book.'"The 'Hot Fuzz' director felt that the picture was "crying out" for the big screen treatment and he jumped at the...

Warning: this review contains spoilers.
What was that film about the serial killer who wore their dead mum’s dress? It’ll come to me.
In ‘Love Is a Stranger’, Claire Rushbrook’s Vicky may have been a psycho but it was hard not to side with her – even after she landed that final hammer blow. Everything in the previous half hour had directed us towards sympathy, from the emotional piano music accompanying her online dating humiliations, to Rushbrook’s endearing, detailed performance that made Vicky the most recognisably human character in the half hour.
Radiating loneliness, Vicky suffered knockbacks, rudeness, deception and hurtful criticism, but soldiered on in her search for The One. The One to knock on the head with a lump hammer and keep a mutilated memento of in a jar on her kitchen shelf, to be specific. It puts a different spin on her “a few...

Madrid, May 11 (Ians) Fc Barcelona could be confirmed as this season’s La Liga champions in the 34th round of matches held over the weekend. Xavi Hernandez’s men will assure the title if they win the Barcelona derby away to relegation-threatened neighbors Espanyol on Sunday night, or if Real Madrid fail to win at home to Getafe on Saturday and Atletico Madrid don’t beat already-relegated Elche.
The Barcelona derby is a tense affair at the best of times, between two clubs who may be neighbors but with a poor on and off field relationship, a Xinhua report said.
While a win would confirm Barca as champions, it would leave Espanyol staring at the reality of relegation. Luis Garcia’s side are second from bottom, three points behind third from bottom Getafe and Valencia, who are in 17th position, and Barca fans would love to help send them into the second division.

It’s an exciting time to be a fan of sharp, focused music — and if the artists who kicked off Rolling Stone‘s Future of Music SXSW showcase at Acl Live at the Moody Theater in Austin on March 14 are any indication, there are even better things to come.
Spill Tab opened the first night of the four-night showcase with a few notes of deep-rumbling bass, some tight drums, Claire Chicha’s voice, and not much else. And that was enough. On record, Spill Tab is a compellingly lo-fi solo project for Chicha.

The Rockford Peaches are set to return to Amazon Prime Video one last time.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, A League of Their Own is returning to the streaming service for a second and final season.
And it will be short.
The outlet alleges that A League of Their Own Season 2 will comprise just four episodes.
Amazon has not confirmed the renewal, but THR notes that deals are still being worked out.
As a result, we should expect a formal pickup when the deals are completed.
The road to renewal was reportedly complicated by renegotiations with Sony to lower the drama's licensing fee.
The cast also had to sign new deals because the season will be comprised of half the episodes of A League of Their Own Season 1.
While Amazon has not announced the pickup, it is set to be billed as a "limited series."
