1 Film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (3D)
Well, not so very unexpected. Every move has been tracked by fanboys, from the casting of Martin Freeman as Bilbo and Benedict Cumberbatch as the dragon Smaug to the return of the king, Peter Jackson, to take over directing from Guillermo del Toro. But Middle-earth (or, as it's sometimes known, New Zealand) is back for the next three Christmases.
3 Pop Scott Walker
The avant-garde Walker Brother returns with his first album since 2006's The Drift. Not for the faint-hearted, Bish Bosch finds the former romantic hero deep in dystopian territory, at once sonorous and rigorous.
3 Classical H7steria

Based on column inches and lurid images alone, never mind the incalculable online torrent, the big event this week was Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust at English National Opera. After squawks over the company's recent choice of directors from outside opera, it was a pleasure to witness a superbly staged, ingenious production from opera novice Terry Gilliam, best known as a Hollywood director and genius ex-Python animator. If you want to use film in opera, and most now do, Gilliam shows you how.
Musical standards, with Edward Gardner in the pit, were secure though not vintage, and Berlioz's infinitely delicate score survived just about intact despite being zipped into an all-in-one concept and tumbling out wittily for a choreographic Treaty of Versailles and a dance of the gas masks. The iconography – the 1936 Olympics, Kristallnacht, a glimpse of the Obersalzberg – pinned us...

From cartoons to animation to films and now opera. Terry Gilliam is to direct a new production of Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust.
A former member of the Monty Python comedy group, Gilliam is best known as the director of such cult films as Time Bandits, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and, most recently, 2009's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
In his latest venture, he will direct The Damnation of Faust for English National Opera (Eno), based at the London Coliseum, St Martin's Lane, London. It opens on May 6.
Eno says the opera is the "perfect vehicle" for Gilliam's rich imagination.
In a new promotional video interview, he shares his thoughts on the upcoming production. The short film is included below, along with a full press release.
Here's the full press release:

Like the 3D version of Dial M for Murder that Alfred Hitchcock made in 1954, this movie of Francesca Zambello's Covent Garden production of Carmen uses 3D to emphasise the theatrical space of the Royal Opera House stage to capture the experience of being there in a good seat.
The director, Julian Napier, deploys his camera unfussily to make a faithful record of a decent, unpretentious staging of Bizet's opera, with an earthily alluring Carmen from Christine Rice. I do, however, prefer Francesco Rosi's realistic film treatment of the opera, starring Julia Migenes-Johnson and Placido Domingo on authentic Spanish locations (1984).

It may seem cruel to be giving one of the most well known operas (and one that was well received during its run at Covent Garden’s Royal Opera House) such a poor review. However, the central problem of Carmen 3D (2011) isn't the opera; the performances are predominantly very good, with a fantastic cast including Christine Rice as Carmen and Bryan Hymel as the jealous Don Jose. The real issue with Carmen 3D is the 3D.
The question of 3D cinema is becoming a bit of a tired debate now, with traditionalists saying it will never catch on whilst the studios plug more and more cash into 3D films. This review is not intended to give a long winded opinion on the technology's merits and faults, but simply asks, “Do we need 3D opera?”.
I would suggest (quite strongly) that we don’t. The main argument that is levied by...

Following his recent peep behind the curtain of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Terry Gilliam has turned his talents to a short film with The Legend of Hallowdega as well as directing Arcade Fire at Madison Square Gardens.
While the figure of Don Quixote looms on the horizon the director has just announced that one of his future projects will be making his opera directing debut with Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust for the Eno.
The production will run for 10 performances in May and June this year and is certain to be a treat for fans of Gilliam’s work, as the director explains below, there is an operatic feel to many of his works, he also teases us with Brazil: The Opera, which I’d pay to see every night I suspect. Here’s the man himself talking up Berlioz,

The only opera I’ve ever seen was Dario Argento’s 1987 classic. That was called Opera, or Terror At The Opera, depending where you live. Actually, that’s not quite correct. I did see Benoit Jacquot’s version of Tosca back in 2002.
Any-hoo, Carmen, Bizet’s famous opera, is coming to UK screens from 5th March to wow us all in 3D. So along with the awesome singing, sets and costumes you’ll be treated to the spectacle in a dimensionalised format. Check out the trailer, which isn’t in 3D, and if you fancy a bit of culture and the experience of opera in 3D. Could this cinematic experiment unleash other such ventures? West End musicals in 3D anybody? Go and see it and check out the official website for showing times, etc, etc: www.Carmen3D.com
