Daft Punk is playing at your house, your house, because Random Access Memories is now streaming free on iTunes. The duo will launch their album this Friday at the Wee Waa festival remotely, possibly via hologram. How robotic.
Shooting on the RoboCop movie — starring fast-rising Swede Joel Kinnaman as the crime-fighting cyborg — started on Saturday in Toronto. Fortunately, ComingSoon has already managed to snag pics of the new suit. Unfortunately, that means everyone on the Internet already hates the new suit.
You may have assumed The Killing was destined for early termination ever since its first season finale (a.k.a., "Who killed Rosie Larsen? Tune in next year to find out!") so gracelessly pulled the rug out from underneath us. But with its second season now wrapped up — yep, they did reveal the mystery this time; I won't give it away here, in case you're not all caught up with your hate-watching for the week [Editor's note: for a more in-depth, spoilery look at the final episode, check out Andy Greenwald's excellent postmortem here] — AMC is now considering a third season, which would feature main cops Joel Kinnaman and Mireille Enos working a new homicide. No, not because the ratings were good enough to shut up all that critical bashing — but because Kinnaman, who plays hoodie-loving Detective Holder, might become a big movie star soon.
It's Joel Kinnaman! The actor, who is big-time in his native Sweden, made his American debut last year on AMC's maligned detective show The Killing, and is now rapidly moving up the ladder: After rumors suggested as much, it was made official over the weekend that Joel will don the suit for the RoboCop remake. This adds to the international bent of the production, as its director is the Brazilian José Padilha, best known for the bone-crunching Elite Squad, which depicted the hectic face-offs between Rio de Janeiro police and the favela drug lords. And the Irish-German heartthrob Michael Fassbender was originally rumored for RoboCop, too.
