While David Cronenberg's Maps To The Stars polarized critics during its festival run, the performance of its leading lady cannot be denied. As a washed-up actress desperate to regain the fame she once had, Julianne Moore went above and beyond. In a role that other actresses might have deemed alienating, or just too provocative, she shone - like a star (ahem) - in one of her finest performances in recent years.

We're three months away from the release of the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy, The Interview, and the controversy surrounding its content continues to mount. Thankfully, it's all in the name of jocularity. However, quite a lot of the humour is already lost on North Korea. Specifically, Kim Jong-Un, who is characterised in the movie and subjected to some horrific Indiana Jones-style face melting.
During a recent AMA Reddit, Idris Elba set straight a couple of casting rumours. It turns out that despite being considered a definite part of the project, he will not be appearing in Guy Ritchie's next film, Knights Of The Roundtable: King Arthur.
Fox's inevitable follow-up to this year's time-travel sci-fi smash, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, has landed a director. The not-entirely-unexpected Bryan Singer has signed on to reprise his helming duties for his fourth mutant outing, X-Men: Apocalypse.
