Exclusive: It’s a Sin star and musician Olly Alexander has created an original song for upcoming Sky’s coming-of-age love story Bonus Track.
Alexander is also an executive producer on the film, which comes from Josh O’Connor and Mike Gilbert and is set to premiere at BFI’s London Film Festival this October before launching on Sky Cinema.
The film, set in 2006, follows small-town teenager George (Joe Anders), who dreams of being a star though no-one else sees his talent. When Max (Samuel Small), the son of a mega-famous musical duo and takes and takes an interest in his music, George can’t believe it. But as they grow closer, George begins to question why he wants to spend time with Max — he’s faced with a dream come true, if only he can figure out what that dream actually is now.

Scottish musical sensation Lewis Capaldi is the subject of a feature-length documentary directed by BAFTA winner Joe Pearlman (“Bros: After the Screaming Stops”) and produced by Pulse Films. The film will be shopped to buyers at the Cannes virtual market by Independent Entertainment.
The 24-year-old Capaldi has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame over the past 36 months, earning a Grammy nomination and Brit award for his debut single “Someone You Loved,” in addition to a second Brit for best new artist, and selling out an arena tour before he’d even released his debut album.
It’s a stark contrast to his life just three years ago, when he was still carrying his own gear while performing in Scottish bars and pubs. The film follows Capaldi over a five-year period, from a global headline tour to returning to his parents’ home in Scotland to start work on his sophomore album.

A film as lost as it’s characters, Young Ones is what happens when big ideas meet terrible execution and a lackluster script, combining for a film that’s a chore to watch.
Young Ones is an epic film, a neowestern sci-fi film, spilt into chapters to show what happens when scarce resources force people to the breaking point. Ernest Holm (Michael Shannon) lives and works on the harsh frontier, delivering supplies to the workers on the water line with his son Jerome (Kodi Smit McPhee). Meanwhile at home his daughter Mary (Elle Fanning) is tired of the struggles and wants a better life, something presented to her in the form of Flem Lever (Nicholas Hoult). Unbeknownst to the clan, Lever has bigger designs than just Mary and longs to have Ernrest’s land for himself and to return it to it’s former glory.
