Coldplay are to give away a free CD at every remaining live show in 2009, the band have announced.

Starting with the group’s first North American tour date in Florida on 15 May, fans will be given a copy of nine-track album LeftRightLeftRightLeft.

The band said the giveaway was meant as a “recession-busting mark of gratitude” to their fans for supporting them.

LeftRightLeftRightLeft will also be made available as a free download on Coldplay’s website from 15 May.

“Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans - the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen,” the band said on its website.

The album was recorded over the past year in various cities around the world on Coldplay’s Viva La Vida tour.

Tracks on the CD include Clocks, Viva La Vida and Fix You.

Coldplay will finish up their tour in the UK with two dates at London’s Wembley Stadium in September.

The album will not be given away at festival shows.

Sam Raimi doesn’t know what Spider-Man 4 is about, if his recent statements are to be believed.

Raimi was asked by SciFiWire whether the tone of Spider-Man 4 would reflect recent superhero smashes like The Dark Knight and Watchmen, and go all edgy.

“Whatever it is, I think will be a direct result of the best style to bring about our writer’s screenplay,” he said.

“And as soon as I read that, I will know what that is. Edgy could be a direction, but I don’t think it will be applied without really understanding the character’s journey from the inside out first and then figuring out the best way to bring that about.”

“I hope we don’t react to these very good and sometimes bad superhero movies around us,” he continued.

Whatever it is? I think? I hope? That doesn’t sound like a man who’s completely in control of steering the Spider-Man ship to us. We’d assume that a director who has taken a franchise through three films would be at least making some suggestions to the screenwriter.

We hope that Raimi hasn’t been neutered by Sony following the decisions he made on Spider-Man 3.

This is still the man behind Evil Dead 2 and Spider-Man 2, after all.

Discussing his brief cameo in Terminator Salvation this week, Arnold Schwarzenegger told bloggers he’d be interested in a bigger part in the sequel.

“I think it’s cool to continue on with the franchise,” he said. “In case I want to jump over again and get into the acting after I’m through here.”

It’s the first time Arnold has expressed a desire to return to acting following his political career and we reckon McG should stop whatever he’s doing, right now, and pen a part for Arnie in the inevitable Salvation sequel.

And short of Michael Bay confirming, “I like explosions,” or Scarlett Johansson going on record to state, “I’m quite attractive,” it’s hard to think of a less surprising statement than Arnie saying, “I’ll be in Terminator Salvation.”

It’s been rumoured since the project began, and half-confirmed by official sources as far back as November last year.

But it’s now it’s official, coming straight from the Governator’s mouth. “I made it very clear that I don’t have the time to do the movie,” Arnie said. “I said that I would be willing to be in the movie if they get the technology together, and so they are working on that right now.”

It’s been rumoured since January, but now it’s official. Robert Rodriguez is remaking Predator, which is part of a slate that could well be the busiest in Hollywood.

“I’m going to be able to shoot my upcoming Machete here, a sci-fi action film called Nerveracker, a reboot of the Predator series called Predators, and a couple of smaller movies called Sin City 2 and The Jetsons,” Rodriguez said at a recent press conference.

Which is a lot of good news to take in at once, so we’ll break it down.

He will make the movie of his Danny Triejlo starring Grindhouse trailer, he hasn’t started on Nerveracker yet (despite its 2010 release date), he’s still attached to Sin City 2, and he will make what will probably be an insanely fun version of the Jetsons.

But, most importantly to us, the Predators are coming back – and this time they’re not being shoehorned into someone else’s franchise (even if they are copying Aliens a bit for the title). Yes!

Universal have taken David Cronenberg’s psycho-sexual Videodrome and handed it to the writer of Scream 3 and the producer of The Brothers Grimm.

Their intention? To turn it into a “large-scale sci-fi action thriller.” Which is about the stupidest thing we’ve heard this week. But it is only Monday.

The original told the story of Max Renn, a sleazy TV producer who becomes addicted to a new type of TV programming - porno snuff.

But when he starts to experience surreal hallucinations, he tries to wrench himself free of the television and find himself involved with a bizarre conspiracy.

It was meant as a satire of lowest-common-demoninator entertainment - not an example of it.

The film also featured an appearance from Debbie Harry as a self-mutilating sadomasochist, so expect a scene in the remake in which Miley Cyrus stubs out cigarettes on herself. Or not.

Universal seem to think a lot of great films weren’t good enough the first time around. Forget swine fever – they’ve got remake fever. And the latest redo to drop on their schedule? Drop Dead Fred.

The studio have lined up Russell Brand to step into Rik Mayall’s manic shoes as the grown-up but still insane imaginary friend of a shy woman who’s forced to move back home after she loses her job.

Say what you like about Brand, but this is perfect casting. Fred always was a bit of a gurning pervert.

Universal certainly seem to like him – he appeared in Forgetting Sarah Marshall for them, and they’ve let him headline the spin-off Get Him To The Greek.

And Fred is a much better proposition for the remake treatment than Videodrome was yesterday.

Videodrome is perfect, but Fred has elements that could be improved on – Phoebe Cates’ slightly wooden performance for one (sorry Phoebe)

Well, well, well – Wall Street 2 just got a lot more interesting, with the news that Oliver Stone, who directed the original movie in 1987, is in talks to direct, while Shia LaBeouf is in negotiations to star alongside Michael Douglas, who will reprise his Oscar-winning role as financial Machiavelli, Gordon Gekko.

Douglas, of course, has been on board the movie, which will focus on Gekko as he comes to terms with an increasingly perilous financial market, overloaded and exploded by years of abuse by stockbrokers who bought into his mantra, ‘greed is good’. But Stone’s involvement in his first direct sequel somehow lends the project an extra edge of authenticity.

LaBeouf – who insisted at yesterday’s Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen junket that he was currently out-of-work, the cheeky scamp – will play a young trader who, presumably, gets taken under Gekko’s malevolent wing, a la Charlie Sheen in the original.

Allan Loeb has written the script for the 20th Century Fox movie, which was once known as Money Never Sleeps. At the moment, Wall Street 2 seems to be the way they’re going.

Of course, they say that you should never go back, especially to the scene of your greatest triumph, but here’s hoping that the old Stone/Douglas team can rework their old magic.

You may not have realised, but March 17, 2009, was an historic day. It was on that day in Hollywood, California, that all of The Goonies, including director Richard Donner and producer Steven Spielberg, were reunited for the first time in over 20 years* to have their photo taken for Empire’s 20th birthday issue.

Naturally, whenever one or more Goonies are gathered together, they’re always asked about a sequel, and this time was no different. Here’s a little taste of what they had to say.

Richard Donner: ”We tried for a long time. Steven and I had many meetings with writers but nothing stuck. It seemed disrespectful.”

Corey Feldman: “So I guess the answer about the sequel is that there’s always hope.”

Donner: “No. No hope.”

Sean Astin: “A year from now, ten years from now, 50 years from now, I’m absolutely convinced there’ll be one. We’ll figure it out. A sequel could be great. It could be shitty. You never know. But the original is the thing it is and no-one can ever change it.”

That said, they do of course never say die. For the full interview, including talk of unconvincing sea-monsters, Josh Brolin’s fashion mistakes and discussions of a Broadway remake of the movie, pick up the new issue of Empire.
