New Rammstein Song ‘Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da’ Leaked

by 5 Comments

rammstein-logoNew Rammstein single ‘Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da’ has been leaked on the internet, and is quickly spreading through fan sites/torrent sites etc. Laut.de is reporting that Rammstein’s management has threatened legal action against any websites posting links to where the new track is available, and fans should therefore be very careful when approaching this track.

‘Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da’ is likely to be included on the band’s sixth studio album, and if you’re a fan of the band and would like to listen to the new track, then it’s probably best just to wait for the new album to be released.

Rammstein’s as yet untitled sixth studio album is to be released later this year, and is the follow-up to 2004s ‘Rosenrot’.

JLS Hit the Number One Spot With ‘Beat Again’

by Leave a Comment

JLS - Beat AgainJLS has officially hit the number one spot in the UK with debut single ‘Beat Again’. The band finished second on the X-Factor back in December 2008, despite not winning the competition however, seven months on the band is now experiencing supreme success.

‘Beat Again’ truly is an incredibly impressive first single from the band, and it’ll definitely be interesting to hear what the JLS debut album has to offer when it’s released later this year. This single certainly seems to suggest that the album will have a lot to offer, we’ll just have to wait and see though, and hopefully with the album the band will indeed deliver.

‘Beat Again’ was released on July 12th through Epic, and featured below is the official ‘Beat Again’ video:

The band has recently signed a deal with US hardcore label Earache Records, and with George Noble unable to commit to the heavy tour schedule required; the band has decided that the best course of action would be to replace him, and brought in the hugely talented Ed McRae.

Thom Yorke and Kings of Leon to Feature on the New Moon Sountrack?

by Leave a Comment

Chris Weitz has spoken out about the soundtrack to the second Twilight series film, and had the following to say regarding what he has lined up for it:

Fortunately, I’m not at the stage where I have to turn anybody down yet, because everything is still kind of up in the air, but I am surprised at some of the bands that have said they’re interested. It’s kind of great. The criterion will still always be what’s right for the movie at that given moment, but Thom Yorke is interested. We might, if we’re very lucky, get Kings of Leon to do something… It’s exciting to be able to have access to this kind of talent.

Hong Kong Phooey is Heading to the Big Screen

by 4 Comments

Hong Kong Phooey
Hong Kong Phooey is to be made into a live action film, and David A. Goodman is writing the script. Goodman has written for Futurama and Family Guy in the past, and has also written for Star Trek: Enterprise. Alex Zamm is to direct, and he has in the past directed such films as Inspector Gadget 2, The Haunting Hour: Don’t Think About It, and Dr. Dolittle: Million Dollar Mutts.

Hong Kong Phooey could be a success, the signs seem to suggest that the film is destined to failure however, and it’s unlikely to be a film that many will be flocking to see.

Hong Kong Phooey is a classic 70s cartoon series, it’s been more than 20 years since the world lost Scatman Crothers though, and without him voicing Hong Kong Phooey it’s rather doubtful that there’ll be too much demand for this Hong Kong Phooey film.

Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern

by Leave a Comment

green-lanternRyan Reynolds has bagged the lead role in Warner Bros. Green Lantern. Justin Timberlake and Bradley Cooper were both also up for the part; Ryan Reynolds is the man that has been chosen though, and will therefore play the role of Hal Jordan.

Reynolds seems to be an excellent choice for the part, and with Ryan Reynolds as the star; Warner Bros. live-action version of Green Lantern should most definitely be a huge success. I’ve long been a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds, and this role will really give him a great opportunity to show the world what he’s made of, starring in a film which will surely be excellent.

Green Lantern is due to begin filming in January, and the film is currently expected to hit the cinemas in June 2011.
