Ominous music? Check. Pushy mother? Check. Intense teacher/mentor? Check. Stalker rival? Check.
This is not going to end well for Natalie Portman. So, that’ll be another film full of happiness and rainbows from Darren Aronofsky then.

You knew I was going to talk about Scott Pilgrim at some stage, right? Geeky, comic-based and directed by the guy who did Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. It presses all the right buttons, but it may just be a tad smug for its own good. We’ll see.
Released in Ireland: August 25

Zach Synder, director of 300 and Watchmen, plunders the mind of your typical 15-year-old and finds dragons, a WWII-era bomber swooping under a bridge, Japanese schoolgirls with swords, trench fighting and machine guns all mixed up into 1:26 of insanity.
Who could resist a film with John Malkovich as an LSD-addled maniac, Helen Mirren as a machine-gun toting assassin and Bruce Willis as, well, Bruce Willis? Red, based on a comic by Warren Ellis, promises all of that and more.
