Release of My Brother The Devil

Researching things related to My Brother The Devil was fa more tricky than Skyfall clearly because it is an urban British movie where as Skyfall is 'James bond' Hollywood movie which will obviously attract a world wide audience. 

My Brother The Devil has already won reviews at the sundance festivals where El Hosanini was awarded the worldview Impact and World cinematography Awards and also in Berlin where the film picked up the prize for 'Best European Film from the Europe cinemas label network. El Hosaini was most recently the recipient of the Best British Newcomer award at the London Film Festival 2012, the film having been nominated for an impressive three awards.


The director of the film My Brother The Devil is Sally El Hosaini who started working on her film after the 7/7 bombings occurred. The filming of the movie began in summer 2011 in East London Hackney  mostly around the Gascoigne estate. - As thousands were rioting 

"Riots broke out in Hackney the day we did our camera tests," said El Hosaini.
"The riots meant there was a ban on shooting any exterior scenes with fights with youths and guns or knives. In all of London throughout the shoot! That prompted some quick rewrites.
This meant they had to relocate themselves for a short amount of time and were forced to work in Wimbledon on a studio set that looked like "a quaint county village"

Below is a link to a video of the director herself talking about her film, what drived her to write an Urban movie of youths growing up on a concil estate in hackney as many movie like these have already been done and alot of urban films are laughed at now.

A special SkyFall edition of the phone is now available, which is called "The Bond Phone" by Sony. It is not known if this is the exact same phone as seen in SkyFall. In the movie, the phone used by Bond seems to have a Silver back (which could indicate it is the Silver version of the T which has a silver backside), but it could also be the reflection or lighting. The SkyFall edition released by Sony is the Black version.

My brother the devil

My brother the devil has a very interesting story and trailer. It attracts youths, especially ones in London as most can relate to the film. Its amazing that there is a small hype to the film, but then again they have one a few awards already. So far around London i haven't seen a poster of My brother the devil and their twitter has under 3000 followers. This shows that it is a low budget movie but it doesn't make it a bad one. If i do go cinema in this week, i'll be sure to watch the movie. I would also be interested by their twitter to see if their fanbase is growing or staying stationary.
