Well here we are in Week 1 of 2016 and bloody hell what a fabulous start to the year. DIOR: Dior v2. Do I really need to say more?  Well I will. I knew it was coming this year, but I was not expecting it so early. You know how I feel about Daily Mail, but when I clicked on that alert link and saw those photos I almost stopped breathing. Cindy thanks again for your message too we must have received that alert at the exact same time. I’m still on cloud 9. Those photos are just out of this world. I will not survive them in HQ, but I’ll give it a go. Can’t wait for it to be unleashed further. Now that everyone is heading back to work I’ll try and find out some more information. I want to see that commercial on our TV. But I also want to see it in stores. I have an image of some sneaking in and stealing any of those display photos if and when they go up. Oh oh I hope they do another bus stop campaign although I feel the incident rate on our roads may spike. LIFE:  Paris gets another bite of the cherry with a screening on 20 January 2016. Belgium gets to diarise their VOD release for March and preorder their DVD for February release, as does Greece, Norway (with Finnish, Swedish and Danish subtitles) and Denmark. Italy is supposedly getting the DVD for rent in a few weeks whilst the US is finally getting their DVD in March.  QUEEN OF THE DESERT: I came across a Turkish article that mentions the US release date of March, but there doesn’t seem to be a date yet set for Turkey.  It also looks like the Middle East will be screening the film this month. The Playlist also mentioned the March release date for the US in their 30 Anticipated films they’ve already seen. THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER: Protagonist Pics has added a new still to their website.  The Playlist included it in their list of 30 Movies they are anticipating that we’ve already seen, as did The Filmstage, but they also mention how the US is still searching for a distributor. They’re not alone! GOOD TIME: Wednesday saw Josh_Benny confirm that it would be starting “soon!!!” I tweeted SSNInsider’s mention that Good Time should be commencing on set 8 January 2016, so we sit patiently and wait for filming to actually commence. I’m loving The Playlist’s Most Anticipated Films for 2016 LOST CITY OF Z: is No. 9, (also no. 3 on Ioncinema and no. 26 for the Cinemaholic) HIGH LIFE: is No. 13 THE TRAP:  Rated a Special mention although I’m ignoring their comments about Benecio. I’m focusing on their comment that it would have been no. 5 on their list. IN OTHER NEWS: I loved the comments made about Rob in the GQ UK article.  Not just about his style but about him being considered a serious actor and Britain’s most bankable star. That last comment took me by surprise when you consider other Brits like Eddie Redmayne and Benedict Cumberbatch. But who am I to argue … Caitlin Cronenberg spoilt us by posting a BTS photo of Rob on the Cosmopolis set. One must ask whether we shall see more because you know there has to be – I don’t mind slow burn Caitlin really I don’t. For those who purchased the signed Queen of the Desert poster, Cassian Elwes tweeted that he’s still working on coordinating them for you. Well hope all that are coming to the end of their holidays and are back at work tomorrow have enjoyed their time off. Fingers crossed the return to the work week kicks off with a bang and we either see HQ DiorIntenseRob or new photoshoot pics. Hey even another version or behind the scenes commercial would satisfy my curiosity. Just putting it out there. Until next week …
