A Week In Movies featuring: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anna Kendrick, Daniel Day Lewis, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Much More!

The big movie news this week is that Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter and director Tom Hooper will all be back for a sequel to The King's Speech, set during the Blitz. The film centres on the different experiences of the royals and the speech therapist's family as the Germans drop bombs on London.

And there are also five-star films opening in both the US and UK this weekend. Americans get a chance to sink their teeth into Pitch Perfect, a riotously funny a cappella comedy starring Anna Kendrick, while Brits are finally able to see bad-boy French filmmaker Leos Carax's Holy Motors, an insane cinematic odyssey that took Cannes by storm and is garnering some of the best reviews of the year in London.

Emma Watson has been out and about in London this week promoting her new film The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which marks her emergence as a mature actress who can put Harry Potter far behind her. Last week she posed in a tiny white dress for demanding paparazzi at the film's New York premiere, then signed autographs for her fans.

A bit less high-brow but a lot more fun, the new trailer for Seven Psychopaths promises a hilarious comedy-thriller about a group of bumbling criminals who kidnap a celebrity's dog. The film reunites Colin Farrell with In Bruges writer-director Martin McDonagh, and the cast includes Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken. The film premieres at the London Film Festival next month, and opens in the US around the same time.
