Film Actually News 05-02-2012

Hosts: David McVay, Josh Philpott & Richard Gray

Welcome to the brand new Film Actually News for February 5th, 2012. This week “Despicable Me 2” gets Al Pacino, Jane Levy set to star in “Evil Dead”, The Muppets take on Fox News, “Riddick” stars shooting, Matthew Vaughn officially set to direct “X-Men First Class 2” and more.

What used to be a boring, stuffy film section of the Film Actually podcast has been spun off into it’s own, we hope, more entertaining show. We don’t make the news, we just make fun of it. Film Actually News – Loud, Fast and Under Thirty Minutes… or your money back.
