Anyone know if Mike Figgis’ Megadoc is going to be released in the UK? And if so, when?

The Atlantic and New York magazine are two that come to mind.

I still re-read those old issues. I’m always going back to John H Richardson’s writing, his set visits particularly.

As someone who bought Premiere from issue one, and then as someone who wrote for it for seven years and was London correspondent for many of those, I really, really miss it.

Seven years ago I spent a week in Matera watching Bond, Madeleine and Primo do their thing. I also remember pitching Barbara Broccoli on the idea of Callum Turner as 007 and then seeing him at the No Time To Die premiere.

I don't often get to speak to bona fide rockstars, so was beyond thrilled to interview Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood about his creative collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson and his incredible score for One Battle After Another. www.screendaily.com/features/its...

The Radiohead founding member has collaborated with Anderson on six films so far, and says he has started working on the seventh.

From a minimalist flutes-only approach to ‘The Drama’ to a full-on rock score for ‘Masters Of The Universe’, Daniel Pemberton never wants to repeat himself
The UK composer's scores this year also include Project Hail Mary and animated sequel The Bad Guys 2.

Given writer-director Andrew Patterson has a new film out soon — The Rivals of Amziah King — it's incredibly annoying that Amazon have made his terrific debut The Vast Of Night unavailable. Even more so when streaming it on Prime was the only way you could watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEiw...

Well done Spain! Argentina were bad, nasty, and really bad at the football bit too. I'm really glad they lost. Happy for the Arsenal boys more though!

Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, Dead Calm, Possession, In The Mouth Of Madness, Omen 3, The Piano and so much more. Sam Neill was a fine actor and, by all accounts, an even finer person. I met him once, very briefly, when he did me a favour. Condolences to his family. RIP

Marie Claire actually left a prompt from an AI in one of their recent articles. While there’s still some great journalists and publications left, this is utterly shocking. No wonder I’m trying to pivot.
