Sam Smith Bond song on course to hit number 1
Sam Smith's James Bond theme song is set to become the first in franchise history to hit the number one spot in the UK charts.
The song titled 'Writing's on the Wall' is currently heading the charts selling twice the amount of copies as Justin Bieber's 'What do You Mean' which has now been shifted to second place.
The best performing Bond songs have been Adele's 'Skyfall' and Duran Duran's 'A View to Kill'. Both songs hit number two on the charts at the time of their release.
Smith had earlier said during an interview on BBC Radio 1 that he thought the song wasn't a 'number one friendly song'.
'Writing's on the Wall' has received mixed reviews online with some users calling the song iconic while others saying it's not good enough for a Bond song.
Matt Damon preparing to release 'The Martian
Matt Daemon is preparing to release his latest film The Martian in which he plays an action hero who relies on his brains.
His character is an astronaut stuck on Mars while people on Earth are attempting to bring him back home. It's based on a novel by Andrew Weir.
Damon says he's happy to play a hero who relies on his brains.
"When I talk to Drew (Goddard) about doing the movie he said he wanted it to be a love letter to science. And I think it is, it celebrates smart people that do this creative stuff and it's just a very uplifting, optimistic movie,"
The film is directed by Ridley Scott who has worked on space movies before. Damon says he enjoyed working with him.
"He's got his kind of gruff persona, but that's more fun than anything. 'Why are we shooting right now,' you know but he's got the same crew that he works with all the time and they love them. They would lay down in traffic for him. So it's a fun environment to work in."
"The Martian" opens in U.S. theaters on October 2.
