After having a break for several years, the Backstreet Boys got back together in 2014 and as part of that they decided to make a film about their time together, where for several years they were the biggest pop group in the world.
Now a trailer for the documentary has arrived.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘An emotionally open and honest film portrait of the biggest boy band ever, THE BACKSTREET BOYS, who take us through the highs and lows from boyhood to manhood that led them back into a London studio in 2012 to write a new album, make a film and plan their 20th anniversary re-launch. The reunion renewed friendships, but dynamic shifts reveal new and old tensions that need confronting and resolving. Directed by Stephen Kijak (Stones in Exile, Scott Walker: 30 Century Man) this is a surprising and rewarding journey filmed over 2 years that delves into the extremes of fame/fortune, betrayal and renewal.’
The is released in selected UK and European cinemas on Thursday 26 February 2015, including a special performance by the band broadcast LIVE by satellite, followed by the international roll-out of the recorded release. [Read more…]

James Franco’s plans have certainly changed in the past few days, as rather than running around promoting the release of The Interview, the cancellation of the film’s release means he’s lying relatively low instead.

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have had fruitful collaboration over the years, and now they’re back together for a Cold War thriller, which may be going in front of the camera but currently has no title.
Guillermo Del Toro is certainly taking his time with Crimson Peak. The movie shot early this year but won’t be in cinemas until October 2015. However we now get our first look at the movie courtesy of an image of Jessica Chastain that appears in the latest issue of EW.
I still can’t get over how fricking hot Chris Pratt has become since he started working out (maybe there’s still hope for me), and that’s certainly true in this new pic, released by Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow on 
A few weeks ago the main trailer for Disney’s live action Cinderella emerged, but there was a bit of problem – for a film based on a fairy tale, it didn’t look that magical. Indeed it looked like despite his success with Thor, director Kenneth Branagh may have returned to the somewhat journeyman role that’s hampered quite a few of his movies.
Two Oscar nominations failed to properly get Hollywood to pay attention to Viola Davis, but it appears that her turning helping people get away with murder on TV has finally made them take notice.
