Official film poster for My Brother The Devil, I have only seen an advertisement for this film in Nuts Magazine.
When was it made? 2012, released in the cinema 9th November 2012 (UK), US cinemas 2013 and other territories soon.

IMDB film profile includes information - Actors, producer, ratings etc. The producers of this film are - Pacha Pictures, Wild Horses Film Company & Rooks Nest Entertainment. 






Cinema times - I imagine the film is available at all major cinemas in England including local cinemas in most areas of London, the location where it was filmed.
What's the competition this week? This film's main competition this week is Skyfall, Twilight: Breaking Dawn , Part 2 and Argo (Brilliant film by the way!).



 Review from the Daily Mail online (Left) and list of awards the film has won provided by IMDB (Right). What have the reviews been like? IMDB's average of 6.3/10 from 288 users.
Has this film won any awards? The film's won 5 awards and 4 nominations, 3 of them going the awards going to the director Sally El Hosaini.




 IMDB profiles of the Director, Sally El Hosaini (Right) and lead actor James Floyd (Left) who stars alongside Fady Elsayed and Said Taghmaoui.




Social network sites e.g. Facebook, YouTube & Twitter - a free, but useful/effective form of advertisement, especially for an independent film like this one. I also think this advertisement method's most appropriate for the target audience, teenagers/young adults.

Skyfall - Research



To mark the 50th anniversary of James Bond, Activision teamed up with developers Eurocom to create 007 Legends - a celebration/re-creation of the best Bond films (O.H.M.S, Moon-Raker, Goldfinger, License To Kill, Die Another Day & Skyfall)  in which the player re-inacts them with the modern day Bond - Daniel Craig. Although this idea was innovative, the game didn't receive positive from the critics.



As Blu-Ray has become a big deal nowadays, MGM has re-mastered every single 007 film made for newer technology.
Sky Movies created a channel for a month - Sky Movies 007, showing every single film to Quantum of Solace in HD.


XL Records teamed up with MGM and Columbia Pictures to created the official song - Skyfall which is performed by Adele in the opening introduction of the film.




Nuts magazine was just one of many to show off their knowledge of Skyfall and to feature a '10-page special' which contained an interview with Daniel Craig & Bérénice Lim Marlore, review as well as a look into stunts and so.


Various techniques of advertisements were used such as billboards (as seen here), electronic signs, bus banners, underground posters, television adverts and trailers.
Proof of my visit to the cinema! :-)
