Dev Patel's feature directorial debut "Monkey Man" hit the ground running with its world premiere at South By Southwest ... but before the movie about an underground brawler hell-bent on revenge became a reality, the actor-turned-filmmaker says it was an idea he was hesitant to bring to life himself. /Film's Ryan Scott is attending SXSW in Austin this week, where Patel spoke about how he went from an actor and co-writer on the project to the man behind the camera.

"I was just trying to find a way to tell this story," Patel explained. "I wanted it out there. Originally, I hired a friend to write it." Paul Angunawela ("Keith Lemon: The Film") and John Collee ("Hotel Mumbai") are both credited as co-writers on the final product, but initially, Patel says two of them worked on it during an intense year-long process. "I ended up co-writing it and then we,...

Belated cinema adventure for Tate’s sketch-show character and her grandson Matthew Horne is depressingly terrible

There are some British films which are basically the convenience-store sandwich of big-screen entertainment. Cinema’s equivalent of the 24-hour-garage tuna mayo pitta bread. And that, sadly, is the case with The Nan Movie, a truly horrendous and depressing film about Catherine Tate’s sweary old-lady character from her sketch show, in a storyline stretched out to a brutal hour and a half.

It arrives in UK cinemas with no fanfare and an uneasy lack of clarity about who the director is supposed to be. Some official listings give it as former Donmar Warehouse artistic director Josie Rourke and some say Tate herself, but there’s nothing on the closing credits, other than to say that both are producers. Was this how British audiences felt when they stumbled out of the cinema having watched...

Netflix has acquired worldwide rights, with some exclusions, for “The Personal History of David Copperfield” star Dev Patel’s directorial debut “Monkey Man.” The streamer is thought to have paid around $30 million for the film.

The rights agreement excludes Spain, Latin America, Iceland, Former Yugoslavia, Poland, Russia and Baltic States, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Pan-Asian Ptv and China, where there are pre-existing deals.

In the India-set film, Patel plays an unlikely hero who emerges from prison to take on a world enmeshed in corporate greed and eroding spiritual values, seeking revenge from those who took everything from him many years ago. The script is by Patel, Paul Angunawela (“Keith Lemon: The Film”), and John Collee, who co-wrote “Hotel Mumbai,” which also starred Patel.

The cast also includes Sharlto Copley (“Ted K”) and Sobhita Dhulipala (“Ghost Stories”).

The film is a co-production between Bron Studios (“Pieces of a Woman”) and Thunder Road Pictures...

Cast your minds back to 2002 - a time when Pop Idols didn't need to have The X Factor, Fifty Shades of Grey were just colours on a paint sampler chart and David Beckham was a mere international superstar rather than global megastar.

Bend It Like Beckham, with a modest estimated budget of £3.7 million, opened that same year and became a critical and commercial success - breaking box office records and scoring BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations, as well as making household names of many of its stars.

Keith Lemon has revealed that a sequel to Keith Lemon: The Film has been written.

Speaking to Digital Spy at the National Television Awards, Lemon explained that the movie was planned for 2015, but was later put on hold for scheduling reasons.

"It's written and ready to film when we have time," he said.

The Keith Lemon Sketch Show has been confirmed for ITV2.

Speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, ITV's head of digital Paul Mortimer announced that the series will air in 2015.

The show will apparently feature celebrity cameos, new comedy talent and the mother of Keith Lemon performer Leigh Francis. New characters will include the Big Fat Gypsy Kardashians, Harry Styles and a talking urban fox.

Written by Francis, Jamie Deeks and Dan Johnston, The Keith Lemon Sketch Show was commissioned by ITV's comedy entertainment commissioning editor Claire Zolwoker.

Zolwoker commented: "Keith's unique and irrepressible take on the world is absolutely hilarious and the characters that he's created will touch a chord with ITV2 viewers."

Mark Kermode's latest book Hatchet Job: Love Movies, Hate Critics brilliantly puts the shifting sands of contemporary film criticism under the microscope.

In an age when emerging digital platforms mean anybody can voice their opinion on film (and be heard), and newspapers scale back the number of critics in full-time employment, Kermode has adeptly moved with the times, utilising radio, TV, podcast, video blog and print (he recently stepped into the Observer shoes of the esteemed Philip French) to cement himself as Britain's foremost movie critic.

His third book Hatchet Job is a passionate look at his profession past and present, the emerging friction between paying public and critic and the "first but wrong" online culture that favours speed of reaction over quality of argument.

In the opening chapter, Kermode acknowledges that a critical pan, or "hatchet job", will often provoke a bigger reaction from his listenership. With that in mind,...

Mad Men producer Lionsgate is to expand its TV production business into the UK as part of a wider international push.

The company, which produces recent Netflix series Orange Is The New Black, Charlie Sheen’s Anger Management and country & western drama Nashville, is keen to grow its TV production business outside of the Us.

Managing director of international television Peter Iacono told ScreenDaily’s sister publication Broadcast that the company would like to replicate the success Lionsgate UK has had in film.

It has produced Jason Statham’s crime thriller Blitz, Keith Lemon: The Film and Alan Rickman’s forthcoming directorial debut A Little Chaos, which is co-produced with BBC Films.

“If we can do this in film, why can’t we do it in TV? It’s a natural evolution,” he said.

The company is in talks with potential co-production partners for drama and comedy projects, and is in early stage discussions with broadcasters.

Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi thriller debuts in top slot, while school holidays continue to boost animated films

• Read the archive of Charles Gant's UK box office reports

• More on Elysium

The winner

With £3.13m, Elysium, starring Matt Damon, proved a convincing winner at the UK box office, more than doubling the take of second-placed We're the Millers. That's at first glance, mind you. Neill Blomkamp's dystopian sci-fi achieved its commanding lead in no small part due to £974,000 in Thursday previews, without which its weekend gross would be £2.15m, as against £1.51m for Millers. Blomkamp's previous film District 9 debuted with £2.29m, a sum achieved without the benefit of previews. Given that District 9 was a feature debut and lacked star actors, you might have expected Elysium to deliver a stronger opening, but in fact it's behind the earlier film on a Friday-to-Sunday comparison.

Outside the Bourne films, Damon...

Kelly Brook will star in a new British comedy-drama film inspired by Bonnie and Clyde.

Taking Stock, written and directed by Maeve Murphy, will feature Brook as a fast-rising actress who falls on hard times when her boyfriend leaves her and the store she works in goes bankrupt. On the last day of trading, Brook's character hatches a plot to rob the store but faces trouble when her plans start to fall apart.

Brook said of her latest big screen role: "It is so important that we continue to support British filmmaking and Maeve has written one of the best scripts I've read in a long time.

"I can't wait to get back to doing what I love, which is being on set and working with a hugely talented cast and crew."

Her previous film credits include Keith Lemon: The Film, Piranha 3D and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.

Keith Lemon has confirmed that he is to make a sequel to his 2012 movie.

Keith Lemon: The Film featured cameos from a range of celebrities including Kelly Brook, David Hasselhoff, Laura Aikman and Verne Troyer.

Leigh Francis's comedy alter ego told Digital Spy: "Next year I'll be doing another film, but I'm not allowed to talk about that so I won't."

When asked if it was going to be a sequel, he replied: "Yeah, but it'll be a different direction. I know what I'm doing, but I've only written four pages."

Hinting that Brook could also be involved in the follow-up, he stated: "I'm working with Kelly on something in January next year... I thought she did a great job [on Celebrity Juice]. I thought she was fantastic and we will miss her."

There are few events in the entertainment calendar as painfully glamorous as the Cannes Film Festival. A-List stars parading around a gorgeous, exotic location in dresses that cost the same as a down payment on a nice semi-detached in Chiswick - this is showbiz heaven, isn't it?

You'd think it impossible when surrounded with so much luxury to have a bad time, but sadly for some celebs their visit to the showcase was a right pain in the derrière, as the French call it. As the 66th festival kicked off last night (May 15) with a gloomy, rain-lashed premiere of The Great Gatsby, we take a moment to remember the stars who came home crying from Cannes.

Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman out details of Angelina Jolie's pregnancy

Despite being one of the most well-known women in the world, Angelina Jolie is fiercely private when it comes to matters of health and family.

A trailer for the upcoming series of Celebrity Juice has been released.

The clip shows Kelly Brook - who is standing in for new mother Fearne Cotton as a team captain on the ITV2 show - being hired by host Keith Lemon and Holly Willoughby.

The TV spot opens with Lemon in his office asserting that he "doesn't want anyone" to head up the quiz's second panel other than Fearne Cotton, who is on maternity leave.

Willoughby then buzzes in Brook, and they both approach Lemon's desk to the sound of Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' as he looks on agog.

"You know, you're not as fit as I remember," Lemon tells Brook.

"Well, you're a lot gingerer than I remember!" she retorts.

Satisfied with her swift response, Willoughby tells Brook that she's got the job.

Brook was confirmed as Cotton's temporary replacement on the comedy panel show last month.

American Mary; The Sweeney; Lay the Favourite; The Possession

According to David Cronenberg's epochal Videodrome, there's nothing more dangerous than "a philosophy", an adage that applies to life in general and horror cinema in particular. Stepping up a gear from their altogether more generic feature debut Dead Hooker in a Trunk, the "twisted sisters" Jen and Sylvia Soska hit their stride with American Mary (2012 Universal, 18), a film that, despite its tight production constraints, wields its ideas like weapons and packs more of a punch than many of its more bloated competitors.

Centring on a young surgeon (Ginger Snaps star Katharine Isabelle) who turns the tables on her abusive professional elders through amateur experiments with a scalpel, this wincingly bloody satire delves deep into the fringe world of body modification, becoming a sadomasochistic companion piece to Crash with real underground bite. Adhering to the Roger Corman principles of exploitation cinema...

Have the Golden Raspberries become as predictable as the Oscars? Mark looks over this year's nominations...

The beginning of the year in movies is typically dominated by awards season, and with this week's announcement of the Academy Award nominations on both sides of the pond, (the BAFTAs on Wednesday and the Oscars on Thursday) there's no shortage of articles about apparently egregious snubs. Only eight BAFTA nominations for Skyfall? No Best Picture nomination for The Impossible? Like a song by Journey, it goes on and on and on and on.

It's less frequent that you see people complaining about the snubs at the Golden Raspberry Awards, (or Razzies) the cheekily counter-programmed ceremony that names and shames the worst films of the previous year. If you're unfamiliar, you might remember Sandra Bullock's crazy weekend in 2009, where she pulled off the impressive feat of winning the Razzie...

It’s Monday, so we all know what that means! Yes, it’s time for another rundown of DVDs and Blu-ray’s hitting stores online and offline this week. It’s a jam-packed week, with plenty of movies waiting to take you money, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, December 10th 2012.

Pick Of The Week

The Expendables 2 (DVD/Blu-ray)

Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Nan Yu) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one...

Life Just Is; Keith Lemon: the Film; Ice Age 4: Continental Drift; The Expendables 2

Somewhere between American mumblecore and European arthouse cinema lie the seeds of writer/director Alex Barrett's micro-budget debut feature, an "anti-dramatic" drama in which nothing much happens – and that's not a criticism. In today's marketplace it's hard not to be ever so slightly charmed by any home-grown tale of aimless London youngsters that doesn't revolve around drug-dealing, geezery gangsterism or fakkin football hooliganism. Instead, the postgrad protagonists of Life Just Is (2012, Independent, 15) put most of their energies into wrestling with what Barrett unabashedly calls "the existential and spiritual dilemmas so central to, yet so ignored by, much of modern life".

If this sounds unbearably pretentious, rest assured there's much that is down-to-earth about this bittersweet, dialogue-driven piece which follows its protagonists through the domestic, romantic and existential ups and downs of a week. One...

★☆☆☆☆ Hoping to emulate some of the success of surprise 2011 hit Bridesmaids and even Nigel Cole's The Wedding Video (2012), Jesse Lawrence's The Knot (2012) creeps into UK cinemas this week with a trail of negative press following in its wake. Unlike the universally-panned Keith Lemon: The Film (2012), the team behind The Knot were at least brave enough to screen their gross-out British comedy to the national press ahead of its release. Unfortunately, such a gesture is unlikely to dissuade audiences from condemning the film to their 'Worst of 2012' shortlists.

Kelly Brook has insisted that she is not always happy with her figure. The model and actress, recently seen in Keith Lemon: The Film, admitted to a love/hate relationship with some of her best-loved physical features. "I like my boobs, but sometimes if I want to wear a dress and I can't because my boobs are too big for them, then I don't like them," she told Ok. "There are days that I love my bum and days that I don't." Brook added that she is "not the skinniest" at present, explaining that she feels (more)...

It was a relatively poor few days in terms of cinema attendances this past weekend as the general public made the collective decision to make the most of one last dose of sunshine before five months of jumpers, freezing mornings and flood warnings. In fact, the market was so bad this past weekend, takings were actually down nearly 30% on the same time last year. Thanks to this relatively low cinematic turnout, Dredd 3D, which became the first 18 certificate film to top the chart since Saw 3D back in October 2010, did so with only just over £1million grossed. This was the lowest total gross to clinch the top spot since Ice Age 4 limped its way to the top a few months back.

Last week’s other two big releases, Lawless and Anna Karenina, came in second and third respectively but also experienced relatively disappointing opening weekends. Given the lack of...

There are many things is this world which deep down, I still don’t really understand. Things like, how do planes stay in the air? How does electricity actually work? And just how has June Sarpong forged a career? Few things are as puzzling to me though as the longevity of Adam Sandler’s movie career. He had some decent comedies early on, Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer spring to mind, and Punch-Drunk Love isn’t without its appeal, but since around 2004, he has a seemingly unparalleled run of misfiring duds. 50 First Dates, Spanglish, The Longest Yard, Click, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry , Funny People, Grown Ups, Just Go With It and Jack and Jill. I know somebody must find these movies funny, else they wouldn’t all make a decent return on investment and thus keep getting made, but personally, I just don’t get it.

London, Sep 6: Actress Kelly Brook says she has no qualms if people don't take her seriously.

The 32-year-old spoke to a magazine while promoting her upcoming movie, "Keith Lemon: The Film".

"I just roll with it. If someone says, 'Right, you're going to be the smiley, girl,' you go, 'Okay, yes. I'm going to be that and see where that takes you," Brook said.

"And so far it has taken me all over the world, I can wake up smiling.

Kelly Brook has admitted that she is not worried about being taken seriously. The model and actress is well known for playing the sexy girl in movies such as Keith Lemon: The Film and Piranha 3-D. She told the most recent issue of FHM: "I just roll with it. If you fight against stuff all of the time, you're going to make yourself miserable. "So if someone says, 'Right, you're going to be the smiley, girly, booby girl', you go, 'Ok, yes. I'm going to be that'. And you see where that takes you." She continued: "And so far it has taken me all over the world, I (more)...

In a quiet week Total Recall and The Watch posted respectable figures, but Berberian Sound Studio lost out to The Imposter

The winners

The last weekend of the school summer holiday has never exactly been a premium release date in the UK: over the past couple of years we've seen such venerated classics as Fright Night, Apollo 18 and Dinner for Schmucks dumped on to the market. So this year's batch of end-of-summer releases, while hardly eliciting critical hosannas or audience stampedes, is certainly no worse than usual. Between them, new releases Total Recall and The Watch kicked in £4.7m in box-office, pushing aside Brave to grab the top two spots in the weekend chart.

It's worth noting, however, that both saw their figures inflated by significant previews: two days' worth in the case of Total Recall (£959,000 of the £2.49m total) and four days for The Watch (£1.43m of the...

Sold-out shows announce the arrival of Bart Layton's docu-drama, while Keith Lemon bears fruit despite a juicing from the critics

The winner

Arthouse cinema bookers have lamented that this summer lacked a big specialist release to rank alongside past summer hits Coco Before Chanel or La Vie en Rose. May offered The Raid and Moonrise Kingdom, and June delivered The Angels' Share and Killer Joe, but July and August failed to contribute a big winner, leaving the space occupied by commercial auteur titles such as Magic Mike and The Dark Knight Rises.

Now, however, arrives The Imposter, a plucky underdog contender delivering £345,000 over the four-day holiday weekend, including previews of £29,000, from just 49 sites. Joint distributors Revolver and Picturehouse report sold-out shows in the Clapham and Hackney Picturehouses and Ritzy Brixton, in London, and in other cities such as Brighton, Norwich, Exeter and Bath. Bart Layton's true-crime investigation has...

I’m just going to come out and say it. I don’t like Leigh Francis. Bo’ Selecta was rubbish. Keith Lemon is rubbish. Therefore Leigh Francis (I find it hard to come to any other conclusion) is rubbish.

You would thus be right in thinking that I entered Keith Lemon: The Film with my expectations hovering in the ‘probably worse than Police Academy 2′ zone. A zone that I reserve for only the worst cinematic garbage (some of the inhabitants of this zone of course include Police Academy’s 3 through 7).

So here I am with a sort of critical predicament. Do I give Keith Lemon: The Film the going over I always knew I would or do I try and see it from the fans perspective (a perspective it is clearly aimed at)? Well sticking to my guns I should of course give my own personal response. I should give...

The Imposter (15)

(Bart Layton, 2012, UK) Frédéric Bourdin, Charlie Parker, Carey Gibson. 99 mins.

Documentaries don't come much stranger than this. The film begins with the discovery in Spain in 1997 of a 16-year-old boy. Could this really be Nicholas Barclay, who went missing aged 13 from his home in San Antonio, Texas? Well, no. Nicholas's family welcomed this "boy" into their home without realising that he was in fact a 23-year-old French-Algerian master of deception named Frédéric Bourdin. Then things got really weird.

Shadow Dancer (15)

(James Marsh, 2012, UK/Ire) Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough, Aidan Gillen, Gillian Anderson. 102 mins.

An embittered mother dedicated to the Ira struggle is forced to turn informer by MI5. This stark and suspenseful thriller returns documentary-maker Marsh to scripted drama after Man On Wire and Project Nim.

The Watch (15)

(Akiva Schaffer, 2012, Us) Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Vince Vaughn, Richard Ayoade, Rosemarie DeWitt, Mel Rodriguez. 102 mins.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop...

I hope everyone has managed to contain their enthusiasm this week. I hope the weight of expectation hasn’t proven too heavy as you went about your week safe in the knowledge that this weekend, after all the waiting, after the weeks, nay months of expectation, the comedy double bill of the century was finally upon us.

Yes folks, it’s finally here, that weekend you had circled in your diary since before you can remember, it’s the weekend where both Keith Lemon: The Film and The Three Stooges are released into the world.

I imagine my rather poor attempt at cynical humour there wasn’t lost on anyone, but perhaps I shouldn’t be so quick to judge. One should never judge a cinematic book by its cover and these two movies could both be comedy gold for all we know. In the words of Principal Seymour Skinner…...

Kelly Brook has said that she wants to work with Quentin Tarantino. The glamour model has starred in a number of feature films, including horror remake Piranha 3D and as herself in new release Keith Lemon: The Film.

Los Angeles, Aug 24: Actress Kelly Brook says when she read the script of "Keith Lemon: The Film" and realised there were no scenes requiring her to strip, she insisted at least one such scene was added.

Kelly Brook has questioned whether anyone would watch a film called Kelly Brook's Boobs: The Movie. The glamour model turned actress asked Digital Spy if the title, suggested as a possible sequel name by her Keith Lemon: The Film co-star, would entice viewers.

"If we get a sequel, the same cast will return hopefully, if you're not too busy," Lemon said. "It's going to be called Keith Lemon: The Film 2. Or Kelly Brook's Boobs: The Film. Seriously! I'd like to put an American name in there like Winona Ryder - but just pin everything down." (more)...

Both Brave and Bourne benefited from an unconventional Monday release, while Ted joined the £20m club, and Batman broke more records

The winner

Critics have remarked that historical animated adventure Brave doesn't quite boast the trademark originality of a Pixar film, but UK box-office has been pretty robust. Following 10 days in Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland that yielded £2.22m, expansion last Monday into England and Wales saw seven-day takings across the whole region of just over £6m, for a total to date of £8.27m. The film grossed £2.60m over the Friday-to-Sunday period.

The eccentric release pattern makes comparisons with previous Pixar movies tricky: last summer, for what it's worth, Cars 2 debuted with three-day takings of £3.54m. On the other hand, there is one comparison it is possible to make: earlier this summer, Ice Age 4: Continental Drift opened in the same territories two weeks early, and boosted its opening...

Take This Waltz (15)

(Sarah Polley, 2011, Can/Spa/Jap) Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen, Luke Kirby, Sarah Silverman, Jennifer Podemski. 116 mins

This is almost the opposite of a romcom: it deals with the prospect of a happy couple breaking up, as Williams is tempted away from cuddly partner Rogen by a handsome, wholesome neighbour. Which is better? The solid, stable kind of love, or the whirlwind, passionate kind? There are some irritating quirks, but on the whole it's an intelligent, truthful drama exploring guilt, regret, confusion and other grown-up emotions generally absent from the summer movie season.

The Bourne Legacy (12A)

(Tony Gilroy, 2012, Us) Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton. 135 mins

It's really the Damon legacy we're talking about here, and whether Renner can plug the Matt-shaped hole in the action franchise. He's got the right mix of acting and one-man-death-machine skills for the job, though this story of shady government operatives...

Celebrity Juice host and international ladies’ man Keith Lemon is making the leap to the big screen with Keith Lemon: The Film which follows Keith in his dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur, just like his hero Richard Branson. He comes to London from Leeds, becomes an overnight billionaire then an over day failure before finding the road to redemption.

Written by Leigh Francis and Paul Angunawela, who also directs, the film is released in UK cinemas on August 24th.

Keith Lemon The Film is a comedy about Keith following his dreams of becoming a successful entrepreneur, just like his hero Richard Branson. He comes to London from Leeds, becomes an overnight billionaire, then an over-day failure, before finding the road to redemption.

Keith Lemon has signed up for a behind-the-scenes comedy show for ITV2. Fly-on-the-wall reality show Lemon La Vida Loca will go behind the scenes into the character's life with girlfriend Rosie Parker. Cameras will follow Lemon around as he films the latest series of hit panel show Celebrity Juice, upcoming movie Keith Lemon: The Film, as well as Jim'll Fix It-style ITV1 vehicle LemonAid.

Keith Lemon: The Film is the movie debut of Leigh Francis’ celebrity-bothering alter ego (as the fairly self-explanatory title suggests). The movie delves into Lemon’s early days as pre-fame inventor/salesman, proudly dubbed ‘Small-time businessman of the year’ in 1993. A stroke of luck while pitching a product on daytime TV show sees his stock sky-rocket, and the rest is history. From the outset, it’s clear that Kl:tf is going to be keeping the humour firmly on the filthy side; after a narrowly averted C-bomb,...
