Six years ago, NASA send out a probe into space to collect samples of alien life. It crashed upon re-entry over Central America. When lifeforms appeared there, half of Mexico was quarantined.

Now, six years later, a US journalist agrees to escort an American tourist cross the border. And Jon Hopkins wrote some music to go with it.

Yes, after the score for Monsters turned up on YouTube at terrible quality, Hopkins took it upon himself to offer out the main Monsters theme online. For free.

And if that's not enough, how about the prospect of finding intelligent life in the universe? Director Gareth Edwards and Astrobiology Professor Lewis Dartnell sit down to chat about the likelihood of E.T's phoning home.

Monsters is out in the UK on Friday 3rd December. Read on for both the video featurette and one track from Hopkins' rather snazzy score.

Any glimpse of Gareth Edwards' Monsters is something to be happy about. But now that glimpse is even more special, because we'll have to wait until December to see the low-budget sci-fi. Friday 3rd December to be exact.

Luckily, we have a new behind-the-scenes featurette to keep us distracted while we wait. It's from the shoot in Central America, where Gareth chats about filming - which basically involved him, a camera, the sound man and his two actors.

Monsters follows events six years after NASA discovered possible alien life, only for their probe to crash land in Central America. With Mexico quarantined and the creatures contained by the military, a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken America tourist across the danger zone and to the safety of the US border. 

If you want more of a Monsters fix, check out the trailer in our videos section. You can also head over to Flickr, where lead character Kaulder (Scott McNairy) has been publishing his personal photos of his trip through Central America.

Read on for the new featurette.

It's Daniel Radcliffe's 21st birthday! But instead of giving him a cake, here's something that will clearly make his day far happier: three new featurettes for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. No, you can't eat them.

Need to brush up on your Deathly Hallows' story? There's something to sort you right out. Love wizards? Love running? Then you'll really love the close look at Harry, Ron and Hermione on the run in the wild muggle world. And competitive? Boy, is that boy wizard competitive - see ickle Danny Radcliffe pretending he can run really quickly, even faster than a girl. Which he blatantly can't.

Coming right after that spectacular theatrical trailer, HP7 is still shaping up to be a stunning conclusion to the epic franchise. So sit back, light a candle, and celebrate the growing pains of Danny Radcliffe with three rather exciting videos.

It's either that or bake the cake after all. And it's hard to bake a cake in the shape of a horse.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is released on Friday 19th November. Re-watch the trailer over here, or read on for all three new videos.
