There's something horribly grim about stalking somebody's social media accounts after they've died, but it is fitting of the late Rik Mayall that a glance at what might have been a brief foray into the world of Twitter should provide much amusement.

Assuming it was actually his, Mayall's journey into Twitter lasted a single tweet back in 2010 and it was suitably brash, uncompromising, sweary and laugh-out-loud funny. Exactly like the man who so many TV viewers had grown to love over the last 30 years.

We hope it's true. While the exotic, wise-cracking animatronic birds aren't exactly the "Pirates of the Caribbean", nobody expected that ride to turn out to be such a great movie either.

The Mallusionist – Lars and the Real Girl producer, John Cameron, teams up with the UK's Verenation Music and Mann Made Films to develop this comedy about an old burnt-out magician who travels to Las Vegas for a showdown against a rival illusionist.

Abercrombie and Zombie – From the producers Daniel Hansford and 4DH Films (Bronson ) comes this brain-eating comedy from scribe Joanne Reay (Bring Me the Head of Mavis Davis) about the afterlife and death of "America's first zombie supermodel."...
