Viral Video Of Police Detaining Crying 8-Year-Old Boy Faces Serious Backlash

Following the flub of “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” the first “Star Wars” movie to ever really flop at the box office—with Alden Ehrenreich playing the part of the cocky spice runner and smuggler originated by Harrison Ford—Lucasfilm has said they likely won’t be recasting younger actors in the parts of iconic actors. In today’s Vanity Fair profile on “Star Wars” that revealed all kinds of goodies and tidbits, Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy suggested that the company won’t be going the recasting route any longer.

Prime Video’s “Night Sky,” premiering May 20, can sometimes be an odd duck, a show that launches with an extremely science fiction premise but works best when it comes back to Earth to focus on character and relationships.

1996s “Irma Vep” saw Olivier Assayas contribute to a rich tapestry of meta cinema stretching back to Federico Fellini’s 1963 masterpiece “8½.” Itself drawing upon François Truffaut’s metafictional “Day For Night” as a direct source, the film followed René Vidal, an over-the-hill film director whose recent output has descended into alienating pseudo-intellectualism, and his attempt to remake the classic French film serial, “Les Vampires.” Introducing veteran of Hong Kong cinema, Maggie Cheung, to a western audience, playing herself as an actress cast in the fictional director’s film as Irma (keeping up?), Assayas’ film contemplated the nature of the creative process, using its verité aesthetic to capture the mania of a film set while also providing a broader meditation on the state of modern French cinema.

In a world continuing to be ravaged by a pandemic, who doesn’t want a little more dystopian escapism? Look no further than Netflix’s upcoming film “Spiderhead.” The upcoming film finds a way to marry post-apocalyptic tension with romance. The movie is based on the George Saunders short story that originally ran in the New Yorker called “Escape from Spiderhead.” It was later collected in his bestselling anthology, Tenth Of October.

The story of former fertility doctor Donald Cline is horrifying in its own right. Having used his own sperm to inseminate countless women, all the while lying about the origins of the sperm for decades — often by claiming that it came from medical residents at the nearby hospital — Cline’s story became national news around 2019, when the ever-growing number of his biological children sought punishment for what they claimed was sexual assault against their mothers.

Vivienne Chow The Taiwan Pavilion returns to the Marché du Film this year with a beefed-up version after two years of interruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic, presenting 91 titles including the latest box office hits at home, elaborate international co-productions, as well as technology-driven XR projects. Genre films with a solid plot and production, rather than a stellar cast, can easily win the hearts of audiences at home, according to filmmakers behind some of the featured projects. International co-productions will continue to play a vital role in boosting local opportunities as well as taking Taiwan talents abroad, but the ongoing pandemic restrictions on the self-governed island will certainly have an impact on making international connections.
