Keane are gearing up to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Hopes and Fears, in style. The British band has announced a new remastered version dropping on May 10th, 2024, or exactly two decades after its initial release. What’s more, they will support the record with an international arena tour next year.

Featuring a keyboard-driven sound and the breakout hit, “Somewhere Only We Know,” Hopes and Fears has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. In 2004, Keane were the biggest-selling British artist in the UK, and the following year, they landed Brit Awards for Best British Album and British Breakthrough Act.

Next year’s tour will kick off on April 1st with shows in Mexico City and Guadalajara before Keane head over to the UK and Europe through mid-May. They’ll pick back up in September with a North American leg featuring stops in Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, Toronto,...

Taking a quick break from the U.K. leg of her Oh, What a World Tour, Kacey Musgraves stopped at BBC Radio 2’s Piano Room in England to play a breathtaking cover of Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know.”

The 2004 hit from the Britpop ensemble makes for a perfect fit in the intimate Piano Room, so named for its Yamaha grand that was donated by Sir Elton John. Joined by piano, banjo, and cello, Musgraves embraces the stripped-down arrangement with a particularly heartfelt rendition, swimming deep in thought as...

A new TV spot has been released for Jason Statham's upcoming giant shark film The Meg. This movie looks so over-the-top and ridiculous that there's no doubt it's going to be a crazy fun film. It's Jason Statham taking on a giant ass shark! What's there not to be excited about!

In the film, a deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save the crew—and the ocean itself—from this unstoppable threat: a pre-historic 75-foot-long shark known as the Megalodon. What no one could...

The Meg Official Synopsis

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from the first season of “Anne With an E,” including the finale.]

Kindred spirits and bosom friends, welcome back to Green Gables. The Netflix series “Anne With an E” returns for its second season this July, the streaming service announced on Friday.

For those who remember how Season 1 ended, however, the most immediate concern is the safety and fortunes of the Cuthberts. When we left them in the finale, two shady men that had mugged their hired hand Jerry (Aymeric Jett Montaz) earlier in town are seen at Green Gables. Responding to an ad that Marilla (Geraldine James) had placed to look for boarders, each of the men arrived separately pretending to not know each other for purposes that could only be nefarious. Green Gables had been falling on hard times as it is, and this did not bode well for Marilla, brother Matthew (R.H. Thomson), their adoptee Anne (Amybeth McNulty) or her sunny disposition.

Fortunately, in the trailer for Season 2 below,...

Sometime during the night, Warner Bros. unleashed the savage first trailer for The Meg. And it's a lot of fun for lovers of shark mayhem. There have been an infinite number of goofy great white flicks released in the past decade, mostly crafted for the Syfy channel. These Z grade schlock fests are mindlessly entertaining and often a blast. Now comes one of these movies made on a decent budget with a pretty kickass cast and some actual thought put into its execution. The results look absolutely delicious. As in an ocean full of Chinese tourists delicious. Now, we get a second trailer tailor made for those Chinese tourists. And it adds in some scary new megalodon footage we didn't get to see the first time around.

This latest trailer showcases how truly jaw-dropping and scary this thriller is going to be in IMAX 3D. The Meg is what the format was made for.

Warner Bros UK have released a trailer for its prehistoric shark versus man offering, The Meg starring Jason Statham.

Directed by National Treasures and Last Vegas’s Jon Turtletaub, the film stars Li Bingbing (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Forbidden Kingdom, The Message), Rainn Wilson (TV’s The Office,), Ruby Rose (xXx: Return of Xander Cage), Winston Chao (Skiptrace), Page Kennedy (TV’s Rush Hour), Jessica McNamee (The Vow), Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (The Bfg), Robert Taylor (Focus), Sophia Shuya Cai (Somewhere Only We Know), Masi Oka (Heroes) and New Zealander Cliff Curtis (Fear the Walking Dead) alongside Statham.

"Pleased to eat you." With movies such as The Shallows and 47 Meters Down, we've been experiencing a shark-aissance in recent years, and Warner Bros. is looking to bring the water-based subgenre to a whole new level with the first official trailer for The Meg (based on Steve Alten's 1997 novel), complete with enough one-liners to hold fans over until the movie's August 10th release:

Press Release: "Jason Statham (“Spy,” “Furious 7,” “The Expendables” films) and award-winning Chinese actress Li Bingbing (“Transformers: Age of Extinction,” “Forbidden Kingdom,” “The Message”) star in the science fiction action thriller “The Meg,” directed by Jon Turteltaub (the “National Treasure” movies, “Last Vegas”).

Even Amity Mayor Larry Vaughn would close the beach if he saw this shark.

With a new trailer for the massive shark movie The Meg (based on Steve Alten's 1997 book) expected to arrive soon, EW unveiled a new image from the film (see below) that shows the prehistoric size of the Megalodon shark, which makes beachgoers look like minnows in comparison.

Directed by Jon Turteltaub (Last Vegas, National Treasure) and featuring a cast that includes Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Cliff Curtis, Rainn Wilson, and Ruby Rose, The Meg is scheduled to swim into theaters on August 10th from Warner Bros.

We may have gotten past the side-eye-inducing drama of American Idol‘s Group Rounds, but rest assured, executive producer Trish Kinane and her mischievous band of editors aren’t going to let this Farewell Season run on the fuel of vocal performances alone.

Preposterous teenage “love stories,” tales of next-level bronchitis (#AintNobodyGotTimeForThat) and the weeping of the lambs all came into play during Wednesday’s final solos (aka The Holding Rooms of the Damned). Show of hands: Did you cringe after Sara Sturm said Lee Jean was like a little brother to her, but Ryan’s voiceover kept pushing them as future lovers anyhow?...

At Busan’s Asian Film Market, producers of Chinese blockbusters shared their secrets to success such as walking their own paths and not trying to emulate Hollywood, Japan or Korea’s systems, even in co-productions.

Fang Li, producer at Laurel Films Company, Ltd. whose credits include Fan Bing Bing starrer Ever Since We Loved and Han Han’s The Continent, said, “I don’t make films for box office hits, I make them to get viewers emotional, to impress and to inspire. Art is the more important thing. Emotions and impressions are your biggest weapon.”

The panelists agreed that Chinese audiences have grown cinema savvy enough that they don’t necessarily go for star vehicles.

Du Yang, general manager at Beijing Skywheel Entertainment Co., Ltd., whose credits include Ning Hao’s Breakup Buddies and Zhang Ziyi starrer Sophie’s Revenge, said, “If you get many good reviews and audiences hear good word-of-mouth, they choose...

Lily Allen has sprinkled her magic over two tracks for the forthcoming Pan movie.

The British singer has recorded 'Something's Not Right' and 'Little Soldier' for the new fairytale film, which stars Hugh Jackman as infamous pirate Blackbeard.

The tracks were written and produced by Keane keyboardist and songwriter Tim Rice-Oxley, and follows in the same vein as Lily Allen's cover of the band's 'Somewhere Only We Know'.

'Something's Not Right' hears Lily's delicate vocal delivery over soft piano twinkles, while 'Little Soldier' is more upbeat with a carnival atmosphere.

Pan will be released in cinemas on October 9, and sees Levi Miller take on the role of Peter Pan, Garrett Hedlund as Hook and Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily.

Cara Delevingne also makes an appearance in the film as a mermaid.

Meanwhile, Lily Allen recently teased a new hip-hop-influenced track called 'You're Onto Me', indicating that her...

La-headquartered China Lion Film Distribution has picked up Chinese titles Running Man and Somewhere Only We Know for release in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Both will go day-and-date with their Mainland debuts later this month and in mid-February, the latter taking advantage of the early Chinese New Year corridor. (See teasers below.)

Each of the films has a strong hook for Chinese, and Korean, audiences. Running Man mixes talent from both countries and is adapted from a popular reality TV series which itself was based on an original Korean format. Somewhere Only We Know taps the trend of romance and nostalgia, and stars Kris Wu, a former member of Korean/Chinese boy band Exo.

Running Man, which China Lion picked up from Wanda Media Group, is a feature spinoff of the popular reality TV show that revolves around celebrity teams who compete against one another for an ultimate prize.
