Take Cover is yet another take on one of, if not the most used plots in film, ready for retirement the protagonist, be they a spy, thief or killer for hire, agrees to one last job only to have it all go sideways. In this case, it’s Sam Lorde who we first see on a roof along with his spotter Ken talking about God as they wait for their target to arrive.

Their target does arrive, and they get their kill, but Sam also kills a woman who seemingly throws herself in front of him trying to save him. He retreats to his cabin in the woods to deal with this, and when their boss Tamara contacts him with his next assignment he tells her it will be his last.

Olivia Cooke has had a streak of standout performances in her acting career, from her role as Emma Decody in Bates Motel to her captivating performance in Thoroughbreds. Cooke's talent shines through in her diverse range of roles, from a charming and confident Art3mis in Ready Player One to a grieving widow in The Limehouse Golem. Cooke's ability to deliver complex and layered performances, along with her intelligence, grace, and wit, make her a rising star in Hollywood.

Olivia Cooke may be young, but she has had a streak of standout performances in the projects she has appeared in since beginning her acting career in 2012. Born and raised in the North West of England, Cooke was interested in acting and theater from a young age and successfully landed her first role in a television series before age 20. Since then, Cooke has grown from strength to strength, tackling increasingly challenging...

Film starring Sami Bouajila and Julie Gayet started shooting this week in Northern France.

Snd, the film arm of French broadcaster M6, has teamed with prolific French production company Empreinte Cinema for Juan Carlos Medina’s upcoming race-against-the-clock cop thriller The Chase (Abime) starring Sami Bouajila and Julie Gayet.

Snd has international rights for the film and will kick off sales at AFM for the murder mystery meets action film. Snd and Empreinte produce with Paris-based Once Upon A Time on board as co-producer.

Dalton Mills, a large former textile mill in West Yorkshire that as a filming location hosted series including Downton Abbey and the first season of Peaky Blinders, caught fire Thursday, requiring more than 100 firefighters to get the blaze under control.

Officials said there were no injuries in the fire, which required a total of 20 pumps called to the scene just before noon local time.

The West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service closed roads and told nearby residents to keep doors and windows shut because of the smoke from the blaze, which the service said had engulfed “100 percent” of the building. Crews remained on the scene later in the day to tamp down flare-ups.

A massive fire broke out on Thursday afternoon local time at Dalton Mills, the disused West Yorkshire factory used on “Downton Abbey” and “Peaky Blinders” shoots.

There is a lot of smoke in the area & residents are advised to keep doors/windows closed. Please avoid travelling through the area.”

“We have 20+ appliances in attendance at a fire in Dalton Mill in Keighley,” an update added. “100% of building involved in fire. Hose reel jets & aerial ladder platform in use.

Bleecker Street has acquired North American rights to Catherine Hardwicke’s action-comedy Mafia Mamma, starring Toni Collette, Monica Bellucci and Rob Huebel, which is heading into production in Italy in May.

The Vocab Films, Idea(L) and New Sparta production is based on an original idea from acclaimed French novelist, screenwriter and filmmaker Amanda Sthers. It centers on Kristin (Collette), who is facing a slew of challenges. Her only son is desperate to leave for college, her boss is a sexist pig, and she just caught her unsuccessful musician husband (Huebel) cheating with a groupie. That’s when she receives a life-changing phone call from Bianca (Bellucci), her estranged grandfather’s trusted consigliere, telling her he is dead and that she must attend the funeral in Italy.

MaryAnn’s quick take… A nightmare of nothingness, of empty, soulless wankery, that serves only to reassure male dorks that their pop-culture obsessions make them special, and will make cute girls like them. I’m “biast” (pro): mostly a big fan of Spielberg…

Kicking off 2017 in fine style, M. Night Shyamalan’s comeback thriller hinges on a disturbing, engrossing performance from James McAvoy as a troubled man harbouring multiple personalities in his head. From lisping Harry Potter fan Hedwig to prim Patricia to, eventually, the animalistic, terrifying Beast, McAvoy delivers a masterclass in physical performance and different accents. His Kevin will return in Shyamalan’s Unbreakable sequel, Glass, starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson.

If you know your mythical creatures, the title (and, indeed, the IMDb synopsis) of this period horror movie might give you unreasonable expectations for its content. However, instead of the monster from Jewish folklore, the Limehouse Golem here is essentially a nick-name for a (fictional) Jack the Ripper-like slasher terrorising the East End of Victorian London.

Directed by Juan Carlos Medina (his English language debut after 2012′s Painless) and adapted from a 1994 novel by Peter Ackroyd (Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem), The Limehouse Golem opens with former music hall star Elizabeth “Little Lizzie” Cree (Bates Motel’s Olivia Cooke) being arrested for the murder of her husband, failed journalist John Cree (Sam Reid). That brings her to the attention of Inspector Kildare (Bill...

To mark the release of The Limehouse Golem on 26th December, we’ve been given 3 copies to give away on Blu-ray.

Set on the unforgiving, squalid streets of Victorian London in 1880, our tale begins in the baroque, grandiose music hall where the capital’s most renowned performer Dan Leno (Douglas Booth – Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, The Riot Club) takes to the stage. The whimsical thespian performs a monologue, informing his dedicated audience of the ghastly fate of a young woman who had once adorned this very stage, his dear friend Elizabeth Cree (Olivia Cooke – TV’s The Secret Of Crickley Hall, The Quiet Ones, Ready Player One); for the beguiling songstress is facing up to her forthcoming death by hanging, having been accused of murdering her husband John Cree (Sam Reid – ’71, Belle). Lizzie’s death seems inevitable, until Detective Inspector John Kildare (Bill Nighy – Their Finest, The...

Rlj Entertainment released Juan Carlos Medina's period thriller The Limehouse Golem on DVD at the beginning of the month. We've been a little lax giving stuff away this month, tis the season, but it is better late than never to give away something to our faithful readership. The city of London is gripped with fear as a serial killer – dubbed The Limehouse Golem – is on the loose and leaving cryptic messages written in his victim’s blood. With few leads and increasing public pressure, Scotland Yard assigns the case to Inspector Kildare (Bill Nighy) – a seasoned detective with a troubled past and a sneaking suspicion he’s being set up to fail. Faced with a long list of suspects, including music hall star...

Jane Goldman chats to us about writing Kingsman, Stardust, The Walking Dead and more...

Ever since teaming up with Matthew Vaughn a decade ago to adapt and write Stardust, Jane Goldman’s profile as a writer has been on the rise and rightly so. As has already been stated many times in our interviews for Kingsman 2 over the last week, with both Mark Strong and Vaughn himself – the films they’ve made together have been fantastic and highlights of each of the genres they’ve represented, whether fantasy (Stardust), comic book (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class), or spy (Kingsman).

We sat down with Jane Goldman for a chat about her love of film and writing process and found her in fine spirits, full of laughter and happily enthusing about variety of topics close to our hearts, ingratiating herself further into the realms of geekdom, as we started...

With just about 15 minutes or so left in its 120-minute running time, Mary Shelley comes alive. We’ve dispensed with the rote upbringing, finally moved past the surprisingly dull courtship and long-term companionship with Percy Shelley, and suffered various societal and economic indignities. Now, at last, we have arrived at the moment of conception — the birth of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Little time, sadly, is spent on the actual writing of the book. But watching what came after — a sour-grapes-ish judgment from Percy, rejection from publishers, and, finally, “anonymous” authorship and critical and commercial success — is utterly fascinating. A scene set in her father’s bookstore featuring beard-y gentlemen praising the text leads to an appropriate romantic reunion, and then … Mary Shelley is over, save some end notes explaining the author’s fate.

Smoke-blackened brick, the soot, the fog … Starring Bill Nighy, the film adaptation of Peter Ackroyd’s novel is a reminder that London is a Victorian city and its pea soupers and shadowy figures are made for cinema

The latest portrayal of London as a Victorian city, The Limehouse Golem, adapted from Peter Ackroyd’s novel and starring Bill Nighy, is in a grand tradition that shows no sign of going out of fashion any time soon. There may, from time to time, be an example – such as Sherlock – in which the whole point is for the drama not to be set in Victorian London; but even then, the weight of the capital’s history is ever-present, the self-consciousness of the translation from 19th to 21st century evident in every second of screen time. There may be modern buildings in shot, but for all practical purposes, it’s set in a Victorian city.

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.

The Big Sick (Michael Showalter)

From start to finish, The Big Sick, directed by Michael Showalter, works as a lovingly-rendered, cinematic answer to the dinner party question: “So how did you two meet?” Based on comedian Kumail Nanjiani‘s real life (he co-wrote the screenplay with his wife Emily V. Gordon), we meet Kumail (Nanjiani) as he finishes a stand-up set in Chicago. He becomes fast friends with a...

You can always count on Bill Nighy to deliver his signature brand of sass and a dose of lovable humanity to any role, no matter the setting. For his latest film, Nighy takes us to Victorian London in The Limehouse Golem, a new period thriller from X-Men: First Class and Kingsman: The Secret Service screenwriter Jane Goldman. Adapted from Peter Ackroyd's 1994 novel, the film stars Nighy as Inspector Kildare, a veteran detective on the hunt for the titular serial killer, The Limehouse Golem, who is tormenting investigators with a string of dead bodies and cryptic messages written …...

Lush sensationalism and Dickensian social justice collide in The Limehouse Golem, and somehow even though it doesn’t offer quite enough of either, it still ends up a slice of satisfying gothic horror. In 1880 London, in the poor titular East End district, a series of vicious murders rattles the city, killings so brutal that only a monster like the mythical Golem of Jewish lore could have committed them. (Limehouse was a heavily Jewish community at the time.) Scotland Yard’s Detective Inspector John Kildare is on the case, reluctantly: he...

There’s a thick pool of shiny yellow goo on the ground outside Jane Goldman’s Camden office, as if an alien has been sick. She answers the door and has a look herself, perplexed.

A cynical person might suspect she set this up, this otherworldly substance on an unassuming side street. Since her screenwriting debut with 2007’s fairytale romp Stardust she has written films about the fantastical meeting the ordinary: Kick-Ass (kid with no powers becomes superhero), The Woman in Black (man gets haunted by a vengeful spirit), Kingsman: The Secret Service (petty criminal becomes superspy), Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children (kid meets paranormal prodigies).

Now into its 16th year, we’ve been fortunate enough to be invited to the Transylvania International Film Festival (Tiff) – taking place in the beautiful city of Cluj.

During our stay, and to break up the several films we’re watching a day (be sure to check out our reviews on the homepage) we spent some time with jury member, and celebrated producer Elizabeth Karlsen – partner of Stephen Woolley, and behind features such as The Crying Game and Carol, and is the co-founder of production company Number 9 Films.

During this fascinating encounter, we discussed life on the jury – how one judges art, and what exactly Karlsen is looking for in the eventual winner. It was another jury member who came up in conversation too – as following Jessica Chastain’s impassioned speech at Cannes last month, where she criticised the industry’s negative, underdeveloped representation of women in cinema.

"He who observes spills no less blood than he who inflicts the blow." Lionsgate has debuted a trailer for The Limehouse Golem, a new gothic horror film that premiered at the Toronto and Sitges Film Festivals last year. Bill Nighy stars a London detective investigating the mysterious case of the "Limehouse Golem", a meticulous serial killer haunting the streets of Victorian London. The cast includes Olivia Cooke, Sam Reid, Douglas Booth, Eddie Marsan, Daniel Mays, Maria Valverde, and Morgan Watkins. I do remember hearing some good things out of the film festivals last year, and this certainly looks interesting. There's obviously some twists and turns, hopefully, and it seems like a chilling gothic thriller the likes of Sherlock Holmes meets Jack the Ripper.
