Is this footage-free teaser trailer for yet another superhero film really anything to get excited about? We think yes – the teaser trailer for The Avengers, which was unveiled at..

Marvel will film in the UK for the first time, with scenes from Captain America: The First Avenger planned in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

As a biopic, Gainsbourg utterly fails to deliver. Fortunately, a biopic is exactly what it isn’t. Offering a stylised and stylish insight into one of France’s great cultural icons, this film is unmissable.
