Why those sneaky peeps at Variety. Always getting the drop on our Sitges stories. We obviously don’t pay well enough. Here they talk about upcoming Josh Hartnett vehicle GUNSLINGER but tucked away in the text is the news that Simon Fellows’ MALICE IN WONDERLAND, a modern take on the classic fairytale, Alice in Wonderland, set in the North East of England, will be screened at Sitges next month.

Giamatti plays Giamatti. Read on to see whether we think he can carry it off
Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee Trailer Arrives
We’re big Shane Meadows fans here at Corridorstyle, particularly the stuff he’s done with Paddy Considine so this looks right up our street. Apparently it’s some kind of initiative he’s behind to make feaure films in only five days, and this is the first.
Paddy Considine plays loser Le Donk who’s just discovered a rapping protegee, Scor-Zay-Zee, and this ‘documentary’ charts his efforts to create the next Eminem.
Check out the trailer below, apparently his next film is areally bleak horror movie and is a return to ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ territory. We’ll definitely be front of the queue for both films.

Heartless to show at Sitges
We’ve only just picked this up and there’s nothing official yet on the Sitges website but it would appear that Philip Ridley’s HEARTLESS will be showing at the festival.
A little ashamed to say that, of Ridley’s previous work, I’ve only seen THE KRAYS but Todd Brown over at Twitch Films and Mark Kermode (of all people) at the Beeb have piqued my interest to catch this one.
I was impressed with Jim Sturgess in ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and only recently got around to watching IN BRUGES where Clemence Poesy was certainly easy on the eye and handled herself comfortably across from Colin Farrell
From a link over at IMDB it would appear that Todd Brown has also churned out a review of HEARTLESS from the FRIGHTFEST screening but the link’s presently not working. Come on Todd, don’t hold out on us.
Coppola To Attend Sitges?
This is totally unconfirmed but I think there’s a chance that the great Francis Ford Coppola will be attending Sitges this year. This is based on Tweets that I saw over the weekend, however I think they were in Catalan and unfortunately my Catalan is about as good as my Mandarin Chinese.
It would kind of make sense as I believe he’s visited Sitges a couple of times but from what I can see it wasn’t necessarily to the festival, it was to visit a restaurant called Al Fresco which had been recommended to him whilst he was visiting Barcelona. Also, his film ‘Youth Without Youth’ is showing in the Seven Chances section and he’s also got a new film out soon called ‘Tetro’ which could potentially be shown as a surprise session?
Let us know if you’ve heard anything.
