John Elliot

Trailer for A Few Best Men. In his smash hit, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, director Stephan Elliot put Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving in an ancient tour bus and flamboyant drag in the middle of the Australian outback. How can you top that? Here's how: a wedding in the outback with a fabulous pop icon (Olivia Newton-John, as the Aussie mother-in-law-to-be), a teen-throb star from the Twilight series (Xavier Samuel, as the British groom-to-be) and Ramsey, a much-beloved male sheep. In this outrageous comedy of ill manners (think Bridesmaids meets Mel Brooks on Planet Apatow), the class roles are topsy-turvy, with the Aussies as arbiters of taste, charm and conservative family values, and the incoming Brits (Samuel and 'best men' Kris Marshall and Kevin Bishop) as scud-missiles of scatology and 'Superbaaaaad' habits. Without giving anything away, suffice it to say that our young lovers are tested and poor Ramsey literally 'gets it in the end.' 'Shear' delight!

How to Make a Film -- Five years after they began shooting and unable to agree on how to complete their 'Verite' film-making masterclass, Executive Producers Seumas Next and Stephan Kern discovered Alan Smithee, a 'West Coast Woody Allen', to finish their amazing 'How to' film. How to Make a Film features the greatest array of film-making experts ever assembled; acclaimed talent responsible for 33 Oscars, over $11 billion Box Office, thousands of Film Festival awards and even a Nobel Peace Prize. The world's first instructional feature film reveals everything you need to know about film-making in just 83 minutes. This film will make you, and by you, I mean me, an instant Hollywood success Alan Smithee. Elliot Grove, Syd Field, Dov S S Simens, John Truby, Mike Figgis, Chris Jones, Jan Harlan, Irvine Welsh, Alki David, Lord David Puttnam, Pat Ferns, Peter Goers, Chris Adams, Sandra Hebron, Rob McDade, Leofric Kingsford-Smith, Alan Smithee, John Landis but not Bruce Nauman or Robert McKee. If only we followed our own advice it would have saved us five years of banging our heads together. Seumas Next I just want an Oscar or my money back. Stephan Kern

April 1 - Sir Elton John, David Furnish and director Stephen Daldry celebrate the fifth birthday of the musical 'Billy Elliot' at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London.

Congratulations to Billy Elliot for being one of two new musicals to manage to break even in 2008! May we shower you with 10 awards that the far superior film from nine frickin years ago did not win because more than two new movies come out every given year and if only two movies did come out in a year giving a bunch of Oscars to one would be very obviously meaningless! Below, a clip from the Billy Elliot live performance at the Tonys last night, after a heartfelt, not-teleprompted-at-all introduction from Elton John (finally, the story of a child wanting to dance against all odds will be told, stupider, nine years after it was told already!) The song is entitled YAHH!
