Five could release documentary film on reunion tour

Perth Now4 days ago

Five fans could get a behind-the-scenes documentary film about the reunion.
Earlier this year, the group - comprised of Abz Love, Jason 'J' Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon – announced they were back together as a five-piece for the first time in 25 years and are heading out on the 'Keep On Movin' Tour' in late 2025.
Demand for the shows and interest in the reunion has been huge.
The guys have been filming everything related to the reunion so far and will be capturing the backstage and on-stage moments when the tour kicks off and that footage could end up as a documentary charting their comeback.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Scott said: 'Behind the curtain is what people like.
'The people that come to your concerts, yes they want to see your music, they also want to see what goes on backstage. We're filming bits and bobs for our memories as well. It's so nice to look back on these moments and capture these moments because that's what people want to see, the real stuff that goes on.'
When asked if the footage could become a documentary film, he added: 'We're open to it. I think it would be amazing to do something like that.
'I think people need to see it.'
Jason added: 'The so called off-camera, behind-the-scenes stuff is what we're all about. Capturing that stuff gives people a really good insight into us.'
One special moment fans can look forward to on the tour is that at the concerts it will be the first time all five members have performed their 2001 number one single 'Let's Dance' together.
Back in 2001, Sean needed to take time out from Five due to a stress induced breakdown and he was replaced in the video with a life-size cardboard cut-out in the video for the song. The track would be their last number one before they split at the end of the year.
Sean's mother has told him that she cannot wait to see all five band members perform the song together.
Sean said: "My mum actually said this, she said, 'I want to see all five of you perform 'Let's Dance'."
Five kick off their 'Keep On Movin' Tour' on Friday, October 31 at the Brighton Centre.

Sean Baker demands 'full control' over film projects

Sean Baker wants "full autonomy" over all of his films. The 54-year-old filmmaker enjoyed huge success as the director of 'Anora', the romantic-comedy drama movie, in 2024, and Sean has now confirmed that his next project will be "in the same wheelhouse". During an appearance on the 'It Happened in Hollywood' podcast, Sean shared: "Don't expect a Marvel film. It's not going to happen. "I'm intentionally going to stay in the same wheelhouse and with the approximate same budget. I think that I enjoy working in this space of 100 percent independent." 'Anora' won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024, while it also earned five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress (Mikey Madison), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. And Sean doesn't have any intention of changing his approach to film-making. He said: "I'm not working for even a mini studio. I'm making my film independently and then going the old school route of hopefully a bidding war or somebody licensing the movie. "I think that's the only way to have full autonomy and control over your vision. So it'll be that. Expect more of the same." Sean is currently "exploring some ideas" for his next film project. Asked about his next movie, Sean replied: "I'm not sure yet. I'm still exploring some ideas." Earlier this year, Sean warned that a film's production shouldn't be "too controlled". The acclaimed filmmaker explained that his creative process has hardly changed over the years. Sean - whose previous directing credits include 'Four Letter Words', 'Tangerine' and 'Red Rocket' - told The Talks: "I try to keep it small, I try to keep us always in a sort of guerilla, indie, shoot from the hip sort of mentality, keeping open to serendipity and happy accidents. The only way to do that is to be controlled — you have a job to do, and you're spending people's money, and you have a limited amount of time — but you can't be too controlled. "So what I always like to say is: you control 90 percent but then you leave 10 percent up to the film gods, because those happy accidents are what make these movies. You have to be open to real life! You try for minimal lighting, you try for real location, you take the actors and you throw them into real life and see what happens. I try my best to retain that." Sean believes that his past success has actually complicated his work. He explained: "It does get harder because I'm a higher profile now. It's a little bit harder. But I also work with an incredible crew that really understands that sort of DIY film-making and wanting to stay on the fringe and stay out of the Hollywood machine."

Benicio del Toro treasures his signed copy of David Bowie film The Man Who Fell To Earth

Benicio del Toro says a signed copy of David Bowie's film 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' is one of his most treasured possessions. The 58-year-old actor is a Bowie super-fan and he was once lucky enough to work with the late rock legend on the 1996 film 'Basquiat', which is about the life of American postmodernist/neo expressionist artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. Benicio owned the 1976 science-fiction film 'The Man Who Fell To Earth' - which stars Bowie as alien Thomas Jerome Newton who is on a mission to transport water back to his drought-suffering home planet - and had to get his musical hero to add his signature to his copy. Appearing on the 'Soundtracking with Edith Bowman' podcast, he said: "My introduction to Bowie was 'Let's Dance' and on the other album that had 'Blue Jean', the follow-up, but I've always admired him. "But I do remember, you know, I had a laser disc of 'The Man Who Fell to Earth', I love that movie. Well, he did sign the laser disc for me. And I, I really treasure that, you know? It was like, I don't know, I had this thing of going, like, 'Hey, you gotta sign this.' And it was just very gentle. 'I just love that album 'Live Santa Monica '72' and 'Station to Station', 'Low'. "He had a lot of, like, you know crowd rock with Brian Eno. They had a lot of stuff going on." When working on 'Basquiat' with Bowie - who played pop artist Andy Warhol in the movie - Benicio admits it was a surreal moment being face-to-face with his idol. In a previous interview with UPROXX, Benicio - who can be seen in Wes Anderson's new film 'The Phoenician Scheme' - said: "I remember walking into the makeup trailer, and there he was. And he just sat right next to me. He was very normal. Very normal, very polite. I was just like beside myself sitting there looking at myself and going like, 'Can you believe it?' Looking at myself in the mirror, I'm sitting right next to David Bowie. But you know, he signed some things for me."
