Wilson Chapman editor Animation specialists GKIDS has acquired North American distribution rights for Chinese animated film “New Gods: Yang Jian,” with plans to release the film in theaters early next year. Directed by Ji Zhao, “Yang Jian” is the second installment in his “New Gods” series of animated fantasy films adapted from Chinese mythology. The series, which began last year with “New Gods: Nezha Reborn,” is produced by Chinese animation studio Light Chaser Animation, which also produced Zhao’s directorial debut “White Snake” in 2019. “Yang Jian” follows the titular Chinese god, also known as Erlang Shen, who was famous for his truth-seeing eye in the middle of his forehead. Thirteen years after he imprisoned his own sister beneath a mountain, the god works as a bounty hunter, and is hired by a mysterious woman to stop his nephew Chenxiang from obtaining a magical lotus lantern with incredible power. The film was released in Chinese theaters last week, where it beat “Minions: Rise of Gru” to top the box office with a $19.8 million opening weekend.

William Earl Generally (and generationally) speaking, middle age and nostalgia come to us all, sooner or later — even Millennial indie-rock fans. In 2022 alone, Wilco played a series of spring shows commemorating 20 years of their epic “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot,” Peaches performed “The Teaches of Peaches” in full in a summer tour meant to (belatedly) celebrate two decades of the “Fuck the Pain Away” album, and Broken Social Scene is set to tour this fall to in honor of 20 years of their beloved sophomore outing “You Forgot it in People.” Add the Shins to that bunch, as they took to the stage at Radio City Music Hall on Aug. 23 to celebrate the 21st anniversary of their debut album “Oh, Inverted World.” Lead singer, rhythm guitarist and songwriter James Mercer is the only current member of the band who was actually around to record “World,” as he effectively fired the rest of the band in 2009 and has rotated different members in and out since. But Mercer’s current group — guitarist Mark Watrous, bassist Yuuki Matthews, keyboard player and multi-instrumentalist Patti King, and drummer Jon Sortland — is so energetic that even performing a well-worn record sounded not only fresh, but a bit daring.

Nearly half of British adults feel misrepresented in film culture and struggle to relate to the characters they see on screen – due to overused stereotypes and a lack of diversity, research has found.Nearly a third of film fans (30%) have been left offended by a movie cliché – with 29% even refusing to watch a film due to an offensive or outdated stereotype.The poll of 2,000 adults, under the age of 35, found that over half (57%) felt these tropes are overused in films – such as overly flamboyant LGBTQ+ characters, like Damien in the 2004 hit teen comedy, Mean Girls.The research was commissioned by confectionary brand M&Ms as part of its global “FUNd” initiative, designed to champion diversity and inclusion and create a sense of belonging.Femi Kolade, Head of Studies at London Film School, which is part of the initiative, said: “The mainstream film industry has been dominated for too long by a narrative that excludes so many people’s lived experiences, and reduces all of our specific and vibrant diversity to a few standardised, often negative, and always limited representations of who we are today, who we were yesterday, and who we’ll become in the future.“This must change, and this timely research and this important campaign shows yet again how desperate mainstream audiences are to see that change.”Oversexualised women is the most common stereotype young adults feel they see to much in movies – for example Alice Eve in the first Star Trek reboot film, and 1999 rom-com “She’s All That”, which conveys the message that you have to be attractive to be popular.This was followed by females being depicted as weak or too sensitive, and foreign characters’ broken English used for comedy – such as Sacha Baron Cohen in the Borat
