Watch options. Storyline Edit. Once in a great while a man really has a chance to shine. This is not that man. Did you know Edit. Trivia In the Kate Winslet episode, she states the reason she's doing a movie about the Holocaust is because she'd been nominated for four Academy Awards and hadn't yet won, but doing a movie of this nature would guarantee her an Oscar.
Four years later, after five nominations in total, she finally won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress, for her Holocaust based drama The Reader Quotes Andy Millman : What's happening with my script? Connections Featured in Screenwipe: Episode 2. User reviews 89 Review. Top review. First episode is highly promising. Gervais had a big task on his hands with this project- The Office has now entered into comedy history, and people had very high hopes for his follow-up.
The documentary style has been ditched, and Gervais has given his character just a little more dignity than he gave David Brent, so the comedy is a little less squeamish.
The changes in direction and style are daring and pay off- the show doesn't feel like a desperate follow up or imitation of The Office. In fact, it's highly original. It's a pitch black satire, which follows the efforts of Gervais's character as he attempts to progress from being an extra to actually getting a real acting job, or at least a line.
The shows also charts his female friend's unsuccessful love-life, his deadpan agent and parodies a celebrity every week. This week it was the turn of Ben Stiller, who was mocked as an evil dictator of a man, who constantly reminds those around him of the box office of his movies and insists that kissing Cameron Diaz "still counts", even though it was for a movie. Stiller is a good sport for joining in, and has fun messing with his image. Overall the show is gently paced, well written and shows extremely high potential for character study.
Definitely one to watch. Details Edit. Release date September 25, United States. United Kingdom United States. English German. Technical specs Edit. We're hoping to do a few songs live at the premiere in August. Come along and wave. As you may know I'm doing a couple of warm-up gigs in May too. I'm going to really try and not write another series or movie for the next couple of years so I can do a world tour. The first teaser trailer for Life On The Road went down a storm.
I really can't wait for the movie to be released now. Before that though, is Special Correspondents on Netflix worldwide at the end of April. The second trailer for that was released and again the reaction was great. I'll be popping to New York to promote it soon.
The world premiere is part of this year's Tribeca Film Festival which is fucking amazing! After that I'll fly back to London to finish the David Brent album.
I'll also be doing a couple of secret warn-up gigs for my next stand-up tour. My most offensive yet I imagine. I'll keep you posted. The poster and trailer for Special Correspondents landed this week.
Have a look if you haven't seen it already; In other amazing news, the movie has been accepted into Tribeca. The premiere will be in New York on Friday 22 April and the whole cast will be there. We won't have to do a lot of press for the movie as Netflix are pretty laid back about the whole affair. They know they have 80 million subscribers and they can tell them about it in an email.
I'm pretty laid back too as I've already been paid. But I hope you like it, obviously. A different kettle of fish altogether is the Brent movie, which is an old-school cinema release. That one I will have to do the usual begging for. It's great though. We started mixing the album this week and we have 15 tracks.
This means our vinyl edition will be a double album. How cool is that? I'm like Prince. But slightly taller. Finally, I'm going to do some stand-up. The first in about six years if you don't count hosting the Golden Globes. I've booked a couple of low key warm-ups with the Derek lot to flesh out the bill a bit. The shows will be in London in May, but I'll give you more details nearer the time. We've locked picture on Life On The Road.
Still weeks of mixing the music and grading, but basically the content is fixed. We're mixing the soundtrack album this month too. Even though it's by a ludicrous fictional character, the songs are insanely catchy. You'll all be singing along to Native American and Lady Gypsy before you know it.
There'll also be a songbook to help you play the tunes yourself. It's a dream come true for Brent as he gets to pontificate about his writing techniques and philosophies. As you know, we did a test screening of Life On The Road for people. After the movie, they were grilled to find out everything they liked, disliked, didn't get, were bored by etc.
They loved it! Most, either found it 'Excellent' or 'Very Good' and the love amongst fans of The Office was off the charts. They liked the comedy, the characters, the emotion, and they also loved the songs and said they would buy the album and buy a ticket to see a live show. This is exciting news. Let's hope this is reflected by the rest of the population.
Next is a temporary grade and dub to show the film at a test screening. So, basically, they find a couple of hundred people on the street and invite them to watch the movie.
The audience fills out a form and some even stay after to answer more in-depth questions. Stuff like "How would you rank the film: Excellent, good, fair poor? They take the details of the demographic of the sample and draw conclusions from the data.
Some films score great and everyone gets exited, and some score badly and everyone panics and sometimes even do reshoots; or they can dump it all together. I don't HAVE to change anything but they're a great thing to do to assess the timing and pacing of the jokes and songs. Also it might tell me what clips to use in trailers. I'm probably as excited about the soundtrack album as I am about the actual film.
The songs have turned out even better than I imagined and really add to the whole myth of David Brent and his band. I also can't wait to do some live dates. The show will be twice as good as it was a few years ago and it was amazing fun then.
Anyway, I'll keep you posted. About half way through the edit on Life On The Road and we basically have the movie. Obviously still weeks of fine tuning, grading and the dub, but we have minutes of pure joy.
And a bit of cringe. Well, a lot of cringe. It's been a much easier edit than Special Correspondents in many ways. There were strict, quite complicated plot lines and lots of twists and turns in Special Correspondents , whereas Life On The Road is a fun journey centred around the antics of a bumbling fool.
Also, with Life On The Road we've already recorded all the music and I own all the rights, which really makes life very easy. I'm obviously looking forward to people enjoying Brent 's return but I'm most exited about the songs. Even though the songs are not to be taken seriously, they are really fucking catchy. Can't wait to do some live gigs too. So much fun. Before all that though, Special Correspondents comes out exclusively on Netflix around the world on April 29th. With my fourth Golden Globe hosting stint behind me, I was straight back in the edit doing my real job.
I killed, by the way. At the Golden Globes I mean. With Jokes, obviously. Not texting and driving and then getting away with it. Just wanted to be clear. I know you should always feel this way, whether it's true or not, but I genuinely think that Life On The Road is my best comedy movie so far. It's not exactly groundbreaking cinema. It has no pretensions or ludicrous ambitions, but the story is a real journey and I think it's funny from beginning to end.
Yes, I have just given myself a very good review. It's always one person's opinion. This one just happens to be mine. Sue me. It's down to minutes and getting slicker by the day. My hope is that it's a really enjoyable 95 minutes in the end with some memorable moments and some even more memorable songs. Or demanding your money back. I'm happy with either as there are strictly no refunds. But before all that my other movie Special Correspondents starts streaming around the world on Netflix from April 29th.
This one, although not as obviously laugh-out-loud funny as Life On The Road , does have loftier ambition and is definitely my most accomplished movie as a director. It's a sort of satirical comedy drama with a few serious bits and even some action. It's like Woody Allen meets Die Hard.
That's so misleading. Forget I said it. Just watch it. It was probably also the most rewarding. It started at the Golden Globes with a nomination for my role as Derek. After the show I flew to Toronto to pick some of the locations for Special Correspondents.
The script was basically finished but I never stopped honing it right up to filming it. I was also writing another movie by this time, that documented the continuing saga of David Brent. I finished filming on Special Correspondents in New York at the beginning of July and flew to London to edit that movie and start pre-production on the Brent one. This was a crazy thing to do.
Making a movie is a full-time job. Overlapping two movies is two full-time jobs. Well, I know I could ages ago. Typically they are called "extras", as you've mentioned. Some are "regulars", this means they are extras that regularly appear in a certain director's pieces. However, those terms are rarely used by the general public. Extras are never identified, thus they are "extras". Extras are people who just want to be on TV, they are unpaid.
With competition among airline carriers so fierce these days gone for the most part of the holiday extras and special offerings many travelers have enjoyed in the past. Now, no you can't. Machinima took the download link off the website, so you should probably go with Movie Storm. I downloaded it, but you have to pay for the extras. So you shouldn't download it if you aren't prepared to pay.
