Exclusive: Film starring Rhys Ifans and Sophie Kennedy Clark gets international sales deal.
UK sales outfit Starline Entertainment has boarded international sales rights to Jake Chapman’s feature The Marriage of Reason and Squalor, which Sky Arts aired as a four-part series in June.
Rhys Ifans (The Amazing Spider-Man) and Sophie Kennedy Clark (Philomena) star in the surreal romantic fiction from artist Chapman, one half of the Turner prize-nominated artistic duo, The Chapman Brothers.
Adapted from his novel of the same name by Brock Norman Brock (Bronson), Chapman’s story is a parody of Mills & Boon-style romantic fiction.
The film follows a young woman who finds herself in an Alice In Wonderland-type dream world after her wealthy surgeon fiancé gives her a mysterious tropical island as a wedding gift.
Colin Vaines (Coriolanus) produced with Andy Noble (20,000 Days on Earth) for Morass Productions.
Jake’s brother, Dinos Chapman, provided the score along with Ilan Eshkeri (Kick-Ass).

The actor on his collaboration with Jake and Dinos Chapman, how Irish folk singer Fionn Regan inspired his tattoo, and the war film he thinks is the best ever made
Born in Pembrokeshire, Rhys Ifans made his earliest screen appearances as a presenter on Welsh-language television. After a brief stint as a founding member of psychedelic rock band Super Furry Animals, Ifans launched an acting career. He was Bafta-nominated for his breakthrough role as Hugh Grant's flatmate, Spike, in the 1999 film Notting Hill, before winning the award for his portrayal of Peter Cook in Not Only But Always. He also starred in the film adaptation of Howard Marks's autobiography, Mr Nice, and counts the villainous Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man among his notable big-screen roles. Ifans has made several stage appearances, including roles in Under Milk Wood and Volpone at the National Theatre, where he is currently starring in Protest Song,...

The Chapman brothers head lineup of artists whose works will be auctioned to raise funds
Some of the most famous names in British art – including Jake and Dinos Chapman, Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Rachel Whiteread – have stepped forward to bring the experiences of poor and abused children in South Africa and Rwanda to a bigger stage.
The Chapmans, the controversial brothers nominated for the Turner prize in 2003, were the first to sign up to help a charity set up by the film and stage director Danny Boyle. Their new image, My Father's Suicide, was created after the pair listened to a recording of a 16-year-old South African girl, Kgopotso Mere, talking about the discovery that her father, an Aids sufferer, had committed suicide shortly after being discharged from a hospital stay. Their painting will be auctioned on Wednesday, along with that of 10 other leading artists.

Technology has been the watchword at Edinburgh, with varying fortunes for a large-scale sci-fi adventure, a hi-tech Hamlet – and one man dressed as Kafka's bug
The theme of this year's festival is "the way technology seizes and shifts our perceptions". I wish it weren't. It's a notion that has a glazing effect. Subtle artists begin behaving like six-year-olds in front of a PlayStation.
Look what has happened to the important company Grid Iron, which on the fringe lit up so much of the city by staging dramas in unexpected places. Three years ago they were looking for ideas for a large-scale new venture. They considered Finn Family Moomintroll, as well as a Scandi thriller and a piece by George Monbiot about the wasting of the Earth's resources.
They settled on the most rousing notion, the last, and from it writer-directors Catrin...

It may be called the Sweetie Issue, but Cara Delevigne , Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Georgia May Jagger are definitely on the sexy side in the new issue of Love magazine.
Celebrating the 10th edition, the trio put on stylized Minnie Mouse ears while pouting and scowling for the camera.
The Victoria's Secret Angel wears an open U.S. Army jacket revealing quite a bit of her chest, along with her ears and hair bow.
Alternatively, the 20-year-old British beauty shows off a lion tattoo on her finger in an open jean jacket as she gives an Elvis-inspired look at the photographer.
With a safety pin in her ear, the daughter of Mick Jagger sported some pink and black polka-dotted ears and a matching orange and black bow with a pretty pink and white striped neckerchief.

The Fog | Seasons In The Sun: The Heyday Of Nikkatsu Studios | UK green film festival | Terracotta Far East Film festival
The Fog, London
As if a screening of a seminal horror movie in a spooky location wasn't enough, this event is also a format-junkie's wet-dream. Cigarette Burns presents a rare chance to watch a 16mm full-Cinemascope print, with mood-enhancing music from "Kab Radio" (it makes sense if you've seen the movie). What's more, punters will be first in line to buy Death Waltz records' new super collectable reissue of Carpenter's own splendidly doomful synth soundtrack, with original cover artwork by Dinos Chapman.

Funding for screen version of Jake Chapman's 2008 novel, written and directed by the artist brothers, to be secured from the art world
The Chapman brothers, Jake and Dinos, are to become the latest British artists to transfer their work to the world of film with a planned feature-length adaptation of Jake's debut novel, The Marriage of Reason and Squalor.
Published in 2008, Chapman's book is a typically jagged satire of the paperback romance novel. The story centres on bride-to-be Chlamydia Love and her dalliance with the "devilishly unattractive" writer Helmut Mandragorass. The Chapmans plan to co-direct the film adaptation, for which they are currently writing a screenplay.
The Marriage of Reason and Squalor opens with Love gifted a desert island by her fiancee. Matters soon turn awry when the young woman develops a fascination with Mandragorass, the property's rightful owner. A battle begins over the island and, ultimately, Chlamydia's love.

Halloween film specials
All Hallows' Eve isn't just boom time for fancy-dress merchants and pumpkin growers; more than ever, Halloween means horror and you're spoiled for choice this year. So what will it be? Trick, treat, or horrifically gory splatterfest? Surgical horror seems to be where it's at right now. Many of the seasonal horror festivals around the country feature previews of Excision (in which an unstable teen tests out her self-taught surgical skills) and American Mary (medical student finds gory sideline on the fetish circuit). Ben "Kill List" Wheatley's latest, Sightseers is also doing the rounds and is a very British psycho-camping trip.
Wales's well-stocked national horror festival, Abertoir (Aberystwyth Arts Centre, 6-11 Nov) has special guests Steven "Mum And Dad" Sheil, introducing his new Indonesia-set horror, and British giallo queen Catriona MacColl, with Lucio Fulci's The Beyond. Sheffield's Celluloid Screams (Showroom, Sat & Sun), meanwhile, introduces rising Brazilian gore merchant Dennison Ramalho.

London Short Film Festival
The new year's festival season starts here, and so does the revolution. Short film is often regarded as a stepping stone to features, and there's plenty of that potential here, even a few big names (Michael Fassbender in Goldfish). But it's also a potentially radical art form in itself, and an admirably inclusive one. So here you'll find documentaries selected by Occupy London; showcases of queer cinema; black and Asian stories; feminist porn; found film; experimental shorts; special guests; parties; a film from Jake and Dinos Chapman (The Organ Grinder's Monkey, with Rhys Ifans); and a music doc with a live improvised score on homemade instruments. Something for everyone, then. There's even an evening of films about sad, lonely men (including Mark Gatiss, Matthew Holness and Roger Allam).
Various venues, to 15 Jan

Elton John hosted another highly successful Grey Goose Winter Ball in the heart of Battersea Park in London on Saturday night.
This year’s Winter Ball – which once again benefitted the Elton John AIDS Foundation – featured the first ever elBulli experience on UK soil. elBulli has been ranked the world’s number one restaurant a record five times. Its chefs are pioneers in a new way of experiencing taste, stripping food back to a molecular level, isolating components and then rebuilding to their own design or vision.
Among the guests who were scheduled to attend included Sir Elton’s partner, David Furnish, along with Jonathan Saunders, Marc Quinn, Plan B, Graham Norton, Kelly Rowland, Joe Jonas, David Walliams, Benedict Cumberbatch, Michelle Dockery, Tali Lennox, Nicole Scherzinger, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Jaime Winstone, Giles Deacon, Dinos Chapman, Marcus Wareing, Johnny Vaughan, Lulu, Alfie Boe, Ozwald Boateng, Nick Candy and Holly Valance.

Just-married Kate Moss and Jamie Hince had their third night out in a row in London yesterday, revisiting the White Cube gallery, which they also checked out Monday, for a new exhibit from their artist friends Jake and Dinos Chapman. The show, called "Jake or Dinos Chapman," brought out other well-known Londoners like Jade Jagger, Lily Cole, and Kelly Osbourne, but newlywed Kate and Jamie were the toast of the event. The happy couple recently returned from their Mediterranean honeymoon cruise and threw themselves back into the social whirl. Kate and Jamie dined with a friend Tuesday at the Wolseley, running into none other than Joan Rivers there, before hitting the restaurant Zuma on Wednesday with Topshop's Philip Greene.
