It was late November, 2016 when I visited the set of The Conjuring 2 (directed by James Wan). The reason I never wrote about it for Clothes on Film or anywhere else was because of my official role on the day: I was playing an extra (or background artist if you like) during the film’s Maida Vale pub scene. Specifically this is the moment when real life husband and wife paranormal investigator team, Lorraine (Vera Farmiga) and Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) meet with noted experts in their field to discuss the validity of their current case, aka the Enfield poltergeist. I made the finished cut, by the skin of my teeth I imagine. If you are so inclined, look out for a lightly moustachioed fella with curly hair sitting at the bar. Yes, that’s me.

Gordon Brittas could be returning to our screens, after it was revealed that The Brittas Empire is set for a comeback.
The '90s sitcom starred Chris Barrie as the inept manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre.
Barrie appeared to announce the news at a recent Comic-Con fan convention when he said: "There's no secret to the fact that there's a script that's been commissioned by the BBC for a new Brittas Empire. So there's a chance that I may well be back.
"One of the original writers is behind it and fingers crossed it happens before I completely forget how to say my name.
"The script stage is supposed to be done now. I may be seeing something this summer on it. So fingers crossed."
According to The Mirror, a BBC spokeswoman has confirmed that a project - possibly a Christmas special - is being developed.

Andrew talks us through the best of the Eighth Doctor Audio Adventures from Big Finish. No particular reason...
Contains spoilers for The Night of the Doctor and several Big Finish plays.
Now is a very good time to start investigating the Eighth Doctor stories from Big Finish audio productions. If you don't know why, you should probably look here immediately, and maybe have some coffee.
Mentioned in The Night of the Doctor are the names of the Eighth Doctor's audio companions: Charley Pollard, C'rizz, Lucie Miller, Tamsin Drew and Molly O'Sullivan. The reason this is a big deal is that the Eighth Doctor had previously only appeared in one television story (1996's Doctor Who TV movie), and as a result multiple continuities had opened up across novels, comics and audioplays. The audioplays are still ongoing, and have now been tentatively slotted into the TV continuity.

Elizabeth McGovern will perform at the Edinburgh Fringe with her folk rock band Sadie and The Hotheads later this month.
The group is fronted by McGovern, who is best known for playing Countess of Grantham Cora in TV period drama Downton Abbey.
"Your 'Sadie' is that thing inside you which makes you unique. Everyone has it," said McGovern of her group's name.
"I am in awe of the musicians on this project. They create magic out of thin air! Time and time again, on whatever drafty stage or pub we happened to be in.
"With good humour and joy in their art, they begin to play. It gives me faith. That it's all worth it, for its own sake. For the joy. This is what I hope we can convey."
Sadie and The Hotheads play the New Town Theatre from August 17-25 at 11.45pm. Tickets are priced at £12/£10.

Edgar Wright has saved the best for last in the final movie of his 'Cornetto' trilogy about a gang of hapless men who feel alienated from their past
Edgar Wright's new movie lands a double-whammy of funny and clever: a good-natured sci-fi comedy of male mid-life discontent that disproves the famous LP Hartley quotation. It is the present that is the foreign country, or rather the alien planet, and as we get older we feel increasingly exiled from that homeland of the past where everything felt more vivid and real.
This is the final part of the "Cornetto" trilogy – after Wright's zombie nightmare Shaun of the Dead and the mock action thriller Hot Fuzz – and he has saved the best for last, a distinctive comedy that nonetheless nods subtly to some film-makers whose careers he helped to make possible: Joe Cornish and Ben Wheatley. As in the previous two films,...

They were together for only five years and made just four traditional albums, but Steven Patrick Morrissey & Johnny Marr- the innovative heavyweights that comprised the creative half of The Smiths- became arguably the greatest songwriting duo since Jagger & Richards and Lennon & McCartney. Marr has spent the past two decades trying to escape the colossal shadow that The Smiths cast over the post-punk musical landscape, a landscape that his band had no small part in helping create and define.
The desire to escape this shadow prompted Marr to spend the best part of the last 25 years infusing the music of others with talents that have since earned him innumerable plaudits- not least recently being crowned NME’s “God-like Genius”- from collaborating with his equals (Bryan Ferry, Bernard Sumner, The Pretenders) and contributing support to his juniors (Washington’s Modest Mouse...

Being a paranormal buff, I've been on a lot of ghost hunting expeditions. Each time I managed to capture one or two cool things that were unexplained, but usually it's a lot of walking around and listening to stories. Not this time.
The William Heath Davis House hit our radar a few weeks ago when my significant other, Debi, noted that a ghost hunting event had been planned. Of course we bought tickets, and the countdown to zero hour was on. One thing that immediately grabbed our attention was that this was actually proposed to be more of a hunt and less of a tour. The usual ghost tours kind of suck as you're not allowed to really investigate anything. Not here and not with The San Diego Ghost Hunters. The team spearheaded by Maritza Skandunas and her cohorts Colleen Rose, Julie Haney, and Sandee Wilhoit take their investigating seriously...

Title: Paranormal Activity 4 Directed By: Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman Starring: Kathryn Newton, Matt Shively, Brady Allen, Katie Featherston The sun goes down, everyone goes to bed, that low rumble kicks in and the demon comes out to play. The first “Paranormal Activity” was entirely new territory. In the second, the plot thickened and scares still felt fresh. By the time we hit the third, we were well aware of what was coming, but quality character development kept us firmly invested. While “Paranormal Activity 4″ does achieve a degree of success, franchise quality is clearly starting to crack and give way to the gimmick. New town, new family. In [ Read More ]

Our film industry should take inspiration from the Tommy Sheridan play to come up with the Scottish political thriller
One issue above all others dominated conversation in the pubs and clubs of Glasgow. It even supplanted all debate about the future status of Club 12 (formerly Rangers Fc), while Alex Salmond's spectacular bout of sartorial incontinence in Los Angeles was also soon forgotten. From Parkhead Cross in the east to Old Dumbarton Road in the west we all shook our heads in bewilderment. Just why did Scottish Opera pass up the opportunity of commissioning a work about the rise and fall of Tommy Sheridan in all of its glorious raiment? The announcement that the city's venerable King's Theatre, instead, is to stage I, Tommy in November has been greeted with astonishment by opera-goers all over the city.
The King's will assuredly do the Sheridan saga proud in its traditionally wry and couthy manner.

With cinematic releases at the moment mostly involving the not-particularly inspiring likes of "That's My Boy" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," it's hard not to look to television for a little nourishment. The trouble is that the TV season has wrapped up for the year. While a few shows (namely "Girls") are still wrapping up, and others get underway shortly ("The Newsroom," "Breaking Bad," "Louie"), it's pretty quiet on the box, with cast and creatives focusing on making a hiatus movie, campaigning for Emmy, or just getting some sleep for once.
Still, with the 2011/2012 TV season done, we thought we'd shine a light on the small screen this week.

Game Of Thrones – Ygritte Lessons for Jon Snow
Things are getting wild on Season 2 of Game of Thrones as 24-year-old UK actress Rose Leslie joins the hit HBO series as the Wildling, Ygritte. Leslie doesn’t have a resume that’s loaded with experience, but she’s not exactly a newbie either, with a seven-episode run on Downtown Abbey and a BAFTA award for her performance in New Town. She’ll be joining Thrones as the Wildling that hooks up with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) as he travels beyond the Wall. She’s described by EW as “strong-willed, witty, skilled in battle and survival in the wilderness. An unconventional beauty, skinny but strong with red hair (which the Wildlings consider ‘kissed by fire’).”
There could always be a little deviation from the books that the HBO drama is adapted from, but in the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Ygritte...

Edinburgh on film isn't just Trainspotting it's classics: Chariots of Fire, romance: One Day and thrills: Burke and Hare. Here are 10, picked by Andrew Pulver, film editor of the Guardian
• As featured in our Edinburgh city guide
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Ronald Neame, 1969
Muriel Spark's celebrated 1961 novella was, until Trainspotting, Edinburgh's most readily identifiable contribution to modern literature. Inspired largely by Spark's own time at [James] Gillespie's school, this elaborate, empathetic satire on a fascism-admiring teacher would not have been expected to be a major candidate for Oscar attention, but Maggie Smith won the best actress award in 1969, after Ronald "Poseidon Adventure" Neame directed the film version. Sixties Edinburgh has no problem standing in for 30s Edinburgh: the Marcia Blaine school is sited in the Edinburgh Academy building in Henderson Row, while it's possible to stand in the exact same spot as Maggie Smith on the Grassmarket and bellow: "Observe,...

We’re still months away from new Game of Thrones episodes, but this latest casting announcement will let fans know how far the production has come. Rose Leslie of UK TV’s Downtown Abbey has been cast as Ygritte, a major character for the second season.
Scottish actress Leslie is best known for her seven-episode run on Downtown Abbey. The critically acclaimed British show takes place in a Wwi-era manor where her character Gwen was a servant. She’s also played on Case Histories and is expected to return to Downtown Abbey when it enters its second series of production.
Other than that, the 24-year-old hasn’t had much exposure, though she did win a BAFTA award for her performance in New Town. The role of Ygritte is an important one for ...

Robotropolis
Stars: Zoe Naylor, Graham Sibley, Edward Foy, Lani John Tupu, Jourdan Lee | Written and Directed by Christopher Hatton
Aussie actress Zoe Naylor, whom we last saw in creature-feature The Reef, takes the lead in the second full length feature from writer-turned-director Christopher Hatton, and like his previously film Avatar (no, not That one) the film is yet another future tale, this time based on the age old sci-fi cliche of robots – built for servitude – rising up and attacking their human masters.
Robotropolis takes place in a South East Asian community called New Town, a futuristic utopia built buy a global oil conglomerate to home the workers at a large petrochemical platform, where robots carry out the many mudane and often day-to-day tasks, including help run the oil platform, in a complete integration of man and machine. When a Gnn news crew are sent to report on the idyll that...

The Rapture of Unreason
“I grew up around Christians who believed in a seven day creation, preached the reality of Hell and Judgement, and railed against the lie that was evolution. They were also, for the most part, racists and homophobes… And the only difference between them and me was that I had a father who shoved a science fiction paperback into my pre-teen hands and ordered me to read it. After all, it’s pretty hard to be prejudiced against blacks and gays when you’re a-okay with Klingons and the Green Men of Mars.”
– Lou Anders, Bowing to the Future
So the 21st of May came and went without a whiff of the Rapture, nary a hint of Moby Douche, the Great White Fail, breaching the firmament above. No star called Wormwood fallen from the sky, turning a third of the waters to tasty absinthe. No angels treading...

Quantum Physics and the modern theories and postulates have long laid down the interchangeability of time and space in the physical world. We have tried to grasp the realities that govern the relativity of simultaneous events, the progression of one Universe to the parallel Multiverses. All these have taken us from the real to the metaphysical and the philosophical. However, most of the material aspects of existence can be measured macroscopically by the four dimensions – three of space and one of time. By the early twentieth century only, physicists namely Einstein and Minkowski proposed the concepts of a dilating time using relativity. The concept of ‘now’ henceforth rendered fictitious in the larger scope of nature. So time doesn’t ‘flow’ – the space-time is laid out in the matrix.
It becomes difficult to relate the mathematical models of the physics lab to our reality – because of the difference in degrees.

NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin was feted at Thursday night's Anti Defamation League Awards at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, just as sister studio Universal was under fire for its trailer for "The Dilemma."
At the dinner, he touted NBC's progressive stance on homosexuality as the first network to air a gay kiss (in a 1991 episode of "L.A. Law") and how it embraces diversity.
"Done right, television at its finest can help break down stereotypes and help us all find and appreciate our common humanity," Gaspin said in his speech. He also spoke of the "opportunity we have in this business to stand up to hate and to call for our greater good: promoting tolerance, understanding and human dignity."
NBC is one of the only broadcast networks with black leads on its primetime schedule, with Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Boris Kodjoe on "Undercovers" and Blair Underwood on "The Event."

Atmospheric. Haunting. Subversive. They're words that could be applied to virtually anything in the Adam Wingard canon and they are no less true here with his latest feature, A Horrible Way To Die. But what Wingard has now that has, perhaps, lacked from his earlier work is a story that's truly a story rather than an experiment. If micro budget sensation Pop Skull was Wingard with a mood then A Horrible Way To Die is Wingard with a point. Don't let the trademark atmospherics and languid delivery fool you, this is Wingard with a focus as tight and sharp as any blade wielded by Garrick Turrell (Aj Bowen) as he leaves his trail of corpses scattered across the country.

Anne Hathaway has joined the production of "One Day", and geeky was the look she was going with for a recent day of shooting. Dressed in blue summer dress and a pair of Doc Marten boots with round glasses, the "Alice in Wonderland" beauty shows off her nerdy side while on the film's set in Edinburgh, Scotland on Sunday, August 1.
The 27-year-old actress, who was nominated for an Oscar for "Rachel Getting Married", looked relaxed and shared plenty of smile when hitting Moray Place in the city's New Town for the day of filming. She was seen joined by her co-star Jim Sturgess. Another co-star of hers, Ken Scott, was also present on set.
In the romantic comedy based on David Nicholls' 2009 book, Anne takes on the role of Emma, who meets Jim's Dexter for the first time during their graduation ceremony, and proceed to plan meetings for one...

Architect Norman Foster and author Margaret Atwood to spearhead partial tie-up between festivals
Norman Foster and Margaret Atwood are to star in a collaboration between two of Edinburgh's largest festivals as part of a new initiative to expand the reach and audience of the city's international book festival.
In a joint project with the Edinburgh film festival this August – the first on this scale attempted by two of the city's 12 annual festivals – Foster and Atwood will be amongst a number of prominent guests exploring the different techniques film-makers and writers use for biographies.
The events will be staged at the Filmhouse cinema complex, where this year's film festival is now taking place, as part of plans by the new director of the city's international book festival, Nick Barley, to develop an event based for nearly 30 years in a "tented city" in the gardens of Charlotte Square in the city's Georgian New Town.

Filmmakers Norberto López-Amado and Carlos Carcas release their documentary on the British architect.
There's a new architecture documentary of Norman Foster out, adding the British architect to the movie-star ranks of Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, and Louis Kahn. From the looks of it, though, it's closer to The Third and the Seventh--beautiful, sure, with slow, majestic panning shots, but oh so deadly serious. Is that a problem?
Directed by Norberto López-Amado and Carlos Carcas, How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr. Foster? is the first feature-length film produced by the art consultants at Art Commissioners. Watch the clips on the filmmakers' Web site (scroll down). It's soundtracked like a tear-jerker with swelling orchestras and ambiguous choral vocals. When architects appear (it's mostly their buildings), there's a lot of somber nodding and meaningful hand gestures. In one clip, over a crescendo of thrumming strings and a slow pan around and up the Gherkin,...

I started walking around London in my mind. It started when I wrote the entry about Jermyn Street. In mentioning Wilton's I should have mentioned that on my first visit there I ordered roast turkey with fresh peaches. I know, it sound like the Peter Cook and Dudley Moore routine about the Frog & Peach, but nevertheless that's what I had, with a raspberry syllabub for dessert.
In my mind my walk didn't stop when Jermyn Street ended at St. James. I imagined walking down St. James and into the park, and around the ponds. And admiring the view of Westminster Abbey from the bridge. And then perhaps out one end of the park toward Victoria or into Pimlico.
Pushing on now, following an instinctive guidance system in my mind, I stop for coffee at that little street (I know just how to find it) with all the cafes and an assortment of street venders.

There’s a lot to be thankful for in the Thanksgiving week episode of The Hills — the discovery of an evil plot, numerous girls-gone-wild moments in Vegas, Justin-Bobby’s flash of abs, even Audrina’s 187th realization that he’s just not that into her and that’s probably a good thing — and it’s all leading up to next week’s big finale. — Carrie Bell New Town, New Tools: They actually got off Kristin’s couch and hit the Strip. Kristin talked a big game about flirting and hooking up her way to forgetting her L.A. boy baggage.
