Neil Jordan on Byzantium; Dr Who 50 years on; Trailers or spoilers?
from The Film Programme · host BBC Radio 4
Matthew Sweet talks to the director Neil Jordan about his new vampire film, Byzantium starring Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan. He describes how he relished the chance to meddle with vampire stereotypes and rituals. And 50 years after Dr Who appeared on TV, we look at the Dr Who films that took to the big screen in Technicolor. We hear from its stars Bernard Cribbins and Roberta Tovey and from Dr Who writer and comedian Mark Gatiss. Plus trailers - too much information? Tasters or spoilers? We trawl through some of the worst offenders with critic Andrew Pulver and The Creative Partnership trailer-maker Dave Coultas. And as the Japanese director Hirokazu Koreeda wins the Jury Prize at Cannes Film Festival with Like Father, Like Son, Peter Bradshaw looks at his last film, I Wish, a tale of two young brothers separated by family breakdown who pin their hopes on the magic of high speed trains. Producer: Elaine Lester.
