That's Vin Diesel in the photo above. Yes, really. He's going a rather decent Tom Hardy impression in the olde worlde scenes in his new franchise hopeful
The Last Witch Hunter, which was screened to London press on Monday only a couple of days before it opens in cinemas. Whether that franchise materialises depends on the audience's appetite for a batty supernatural thriller that mixes
Game of Thrones with
Underworld. But it got a lot of laughs from the critics!
Most of the films I watched over the previous week were London Film Festival offerings. Some of these have release dates coming up, including Danny Boyle's exhilarating
Steve Jobs starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet; Jack Black in the manic comedy-horror romp
Goosebumps; Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford in the true journalism drama
Truth; the artful, surprisingly moving documentary
The Fear of 13, about a man on death row; and Jafar Panahi's
Taxi Tehran, his superbly mischievous third film as a banned filmmaker in Iran.
Tomorrow comes the first press screening of one of the year's most anticipated movies, Sam Mendes'
Spectre, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond. I've also got the British comedy
A Christmas Star in the diary, as well as Josh Duhamel in
Lost in the Sun and the pre-apocalyptic Mexican buddy movie
Velociraptor. I'm also planning to binge watch the entire old series of David Lynch and Mark Frost's
Twin Peaks in preparation for a press trip to The Owls Are Not What They Seem, a themed cafe-club night in a secret London location. Watch this space for a full report!

What?!? The trailer looked awesome. Vin Diesel's performance looked like the same oscar type of performances that he's done in the past. That raw emotion that he expresses with every line he makes is unbelievable especially when he played Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. Watch The Last Witch Hunter Online
