Excited about the launch of Sex and the City: The Movie? Or are you more of an Iron Man? Relationships up and down the country will be hitting crisis point; as girlfriends chat cosmos and clothes for weeks, whilst all their boyfriends want to know is how to build a suit of iron. Neither will be alone; 85% of the UK’s 18-34 year olds* want to chat about a film after watching it. Survive the summer blockbuster season by heading to Screenrush.co.uk where you can chat to fellow fans, watch trailers on repeat and get the latest gossip on the hottest movies, ensuring you get the action but not the drama.

From today, film fans can access everything they want to know about film at Screenrush.co.uk; from show times and tickets, to cast biographies and trailers. Packed full of features and with half a million film fans already using the site, Screenrush.co.uk looks set to become the Google of the entertainment industry.

Screenrush.co.uk is set to become a favourite with all film fans, but users can also personalise their experience. Using the latest web 2.0 technology, users can communicate with like-minded people within the Screenrush community, share the site’s content with their friends on Facebook**, or move content to their own blog or website.

A number of new partnerships currently under negotiation will soon allow Screenrush.co.uk to launch a TV database, including channel schedules, series and cast information.

Alexandra Ouzilleau, Managing Director, Screenrush.co.uk, commented: “With the growing amount of information available online, we wanted to offer film fans a one stop shop for their movie queries and a new home to chat film online. Instead of having to visit one site for show times, one for trailers and another for tickets sales, Screenrush.co.uk will streamline your internet experience. Our goal is to be one of the top five film sites in the UK by the end of the year and half a million users before the site has officially launched is a promising first step!”
