D Friday, December 18, 2009 METRO Rages Zack de la Rocha: Turned air blue on BBC Five Live PERHAPS it was all too predictable but when Rage Against The Machine were warned by BBC bosses not to swear on air well, f*** Auntie, they wouldnt do what she told them. The hard-rocking band, who are vying with X Factor winner Joe McElderry for the UK Christmas No.1, turned the air blue when performing live on BBC Radio Five Live at 9am yesterday. Producers believed the US group had agreed not to sing the expletive-filled chorus of their re- released track Killing In The Name chosen for the online campaign to break X Factors stranglehold on the festive charts as an anthem of cultural rebellion. Yet singer Zack de la Rocha went ahead with the ranting rap, repeatedly hollering: F*** you, I wont do what you tell me. Rage wont do what theyre told Her Majesty: Carriage WHILE global leaders spouted hot air over climate in Copenhagen queen Elizabeth II set a green example to the world by taking a commuter train to get to Sandringham for Christmas. The British ruler was spotted clambering on to the First Capital Connect train to Kings Lynn from Londons Kings Cross with her hair covered by a headscarf. The Queens appearance in the first class carriage went largely unnoticed for the 95- minute journey which cost 44.40. Queen goes green for Christmas trip When a Hollywood studio sees your YouTube clip and offers you $30million, youd be forgiven for having a... Panic AttackWHO saidYouTube was just for time- wasters? One director who uploaded his short film on to the site has landed a $30million deal and will make a Hollywood movie. When Fede Alvarez from Uruguay put his short film, Ataque de Panico! (Panic Attack!) on to the website last month, he had no idea it would change his life. The clip, lasting 4minutes 48sec- onds, depicts giant robots and space- ships invading and destroying his countrys capital city, the rather appro- priately named Montevideo. More than 1.5million people have viewed the film, which is a startlingly realistic portrayal of what might hap- pen if the world came under fire from cyber beings as tall as skyscrapers. Despite being made for just $300 (200) its special effects are as slick as any recent Hollywood blockbusters. By Ross Mcguinness Lets see what you can do with $30million Mr Alvarez, 31, has accepted an of- fer from Ghost House Pictures, headed by Sam Raimi, director of the Spider- Man and Evil Dead movies. Mr Alva- rez will be teamed with a writer to come up with a feature film to be shot in Uruguay and Argentina. He plans to develop a new story for the project. I uploaded [Panic Attack!] on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hol- lywood studios, said Mr Alvarez. They sent me e-mails that said, Now that weve seen what can be done with $300, lets see what you can do with $30million. If some director can achieve this just uploading a vid- eo, it means that anyone could do it.
