Roland Emmerich

Win Anonymous on Blu-ray and dance on Shakespeare's grave

Enter and win a copy of Anonymous, Roland Emmerich's bonkers assault on Shakespeare. It's practically the equivalent of farting into your copy of Romeo+Juliet. (The Leonardo DiCaprio one).

Review: #LFF: Anonymous

Did you know Shakespeare didn't even write his own plays? Yeah mate, totally true. It was some Welsh bloke with a beard. Oh yeah, and the moon landing was fake too – they done it in a Margate car park. JFK? Martian hit squad. And Derren Brown predicted 9/11, but promised Osama Bin Laden he'd never tell anyone.

2012 to get miniseries sequel, 2013

That's right, John. In what could perhaps be considered a major spoiler for a film about the end of the world, 2012 will live on in 2013, a televised miniseries about life after disaster. It's a disafter movie. But on TV.

New 2012 clip will rock your world

Five minutes of 2012, you say? Right this way for front row seats to the end of the world. Warning: highly ludicrous.

Awesome new 2012 posters

Want to see shit get fucked up on a scale even bigger than Transformers 2? You've come to the right year, my friend.

Review: The Day After Tomorrow

Whether he wants to admit it or not, Roland Emmerich is fast becoming known as the 'Master of Disaster'.
