Contrary to yesterday’s British reports and an endorsement from Sir Paul McCartney, Amy Winehouse has sadly quashed speculation she is secretly writing the title track for the upcoming Bond film Quantum Of Solace. Finding someone to sing the title track is going to be tricky. What rhymes with “Quantum of Solace”?

The Sun is reporting that Amy Winehouse and superproducer Mark Ronson have begun work on the theme song for the new James Bond flick, Quantum Of Solace (Nov. 7th). An inspired choice, if not just because “Amy Winehouse” is a perfect Bond girl name…

The Streets (aka Mike Skinner) released a video today regarding a film adaptation of his 2004 concept album, A Grand Don’t Come for Free. Unfortunately, the tone of the video and today’s date suggest this project could simply be a joke. Pity if it is a gag - the videos from A Grand (”Blinded By The Lights,” in particular) suggests there’s some cool visual narrative you could do with the album’s fairly simple plot. Plus, the Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots stage adaptation still seems far from opening night.

The new trailer for The Incredible Hulk debuted this week, giving audiences a first look at the Jade Giant, Abomination, and a flick that will probably be more about smashing stuff than Ang Lee’s cinematic meditation on emotional repression. What do you think? Can the Not-So-Jolly Green Giant compete with The Dark Knight and Iron Man this summer?

Can - “I’m So Green”
Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - “Green and Dumb”

The trailer for Lost Boys 2: The Tribe (why not Lost Boys 2: Vampire Weekend?!?) has hit the internets - a sequel that is so surprising, it made Corey Haim weep. Based on this preview, it looks like the sequel’s main ingredients are motorcycles, skateboarding, vampires, and Corey Feldman - which means this flick is gonna be mega-rad or 2008’s Snakes On A Plane. Judge for yourself below.

Gerard McMann - “Cry Little Sister (Theme from The Lost Boys)”
The Thrills - “Whatever Happened to Corey Haim?”

The trailer for Step Brothers (one of Hypeful’s most anticipated films of 2008) has just been released. Although some naysayers are growing weary of Will Ferrell doing sports flicks, Hypeful will never tire of pairing Ferrell with John C. Reilly. Particularly when they’re playing competitive stepbrothers. And LCD Soundsystem is in the trailer?!? And Steenburgen?!? Did I mention Steenburgen?!?! Ch-ch-check it out below.

If you’re attending the 2008 SXSW Film Festival in Austin, TX, Hypeful enthusiastically recommends that you check out the premiere of Rainbow Around the Sun. RAtS is featured in the festival’s “24 Beats per Second” category and is a rock musical based on the album of the same name by Oklahoma City-based singer/actor Matthew Alvin Brown.

In the vein of classic rock musicals like Tommy and Pink Floyd: The Wall, the story is told almost entirely through song and imagery. Brown stars as Zachary Blasto, a hard-drinking but talented songwriter who envisions madcap musical fantasies in order to avoid dealing with the downward spiral of his personal life. When faced with the loss of someone he loves, Zach must choose whether to face his demons or surrender to the madness of his imaginary world.

Rainbow Around the Sun will have three screenings at the Alamo Drafthouse on Lamar - Saturday March 8th @ 10 PM, Tuesday March 11th @ 8 PM, and Saturday March 15th @ 5 PM. Check out the trailer below - along with an ace song, “The Babies,” from the film performed by Matthew Alvin Brown!

Suck it, Enchanted! Despite earlier attempts to withdraw their nomination, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova took home the Best Original Song Oscar last night for Once’s “Falling Slowly.” Taking the stage to accept their award, Hansard offered up a genuine thanks and offered the inspiring message, “Fair play to those who dare to dream.” After cued music unfortunately cut off Irglova from speaking, host Jon Stewart brought her back out so she could make a proper acceptance. If you missed it, it was definitely one of Oscar night’s best moments.
