TOY STORY 4 PLANS REVEALED

cid:image001.jpg@01CFF9BA.9211B120

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Nearly two decades after Pixar Animation Studios created the world’s first computer-animated feature film with “Toy Story,” it revealed plans for Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story 4,” an adventure that returns audiences to the world of the studio’s signature characters.

John Lasseter, director of the original “Toy Story” and “Toy Story 2,” will direct the film, which opens a new chapter in the lives of Woody, Buzz Lightyear and the “Toy Story” gang. The story was dreamt up by Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Pete Docter and Lee Unkrich, the storytellers who have been the driving force behind all three “Toy Story” films.

“We love these characters so much; they are like family to us,” said Lasseter. “We don’t want to do anything with them unless it lives up to or surpasses what’s gone before. ‘Toy Story 3’ ended Woody and Buzz’s story with Andy so perfectly that for a long time, we never even talked about doing another ‘Toy Story’ movie. But when Andrew, Pete, Lee and I came up with this new idea, I just could not stop thinking about it. It was so exciting to me, I knew we had to make this movie—and I wanted to direct it myself.”

Writing team Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (“Celeste and Jesse Forever”) joined the project, and Pixar veteran Galyn Susman (ABC’s “Toy Story OF TERROR!” and “Toy Story that Time Forgot”) is producing.

The film is slated for release on June 16, 2017.

Universal Pictures' MINIONS!!! Watch the Trailer Now!



MINIONS – In Theaters July 10, 2015

The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Minions begins at the dawn of time.  Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters.  Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters—from T. rex to Napoleon—the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. 

But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he—alongside teenage rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob—ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow. 

The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock), the world’s first-ever female super-villain.  They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in mod London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. 

Featuring a soundtrack of hit music from the ’60s that still permeates our culture today, Minions is produced by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri and Janet Healy, and is directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda.  Brian Lynch has written the screenplay for the 3D-CG comedy adventure, and Chris Renaud serves as executive producer of the film.

Listen leaves us scared of lonely silence

 
As we tie up the fourth instalment of series eight for BBC's Doctor Who, we are 
once again shown sound reason to proclaim Steve Moffat as Lord of television 
time-travelling lore.

Through the timey-wimey twists and tangles of Moffat's layered writing, we are 
led on a tight narrative thread, which not only describes the continued 
character development of companion Clara, but also dives deeply into the 
deconstruction of the Doctor, which does seem to play a prominent theme in 
Capaldi's turn in the role.

And with this deconstruction, we see the construction of this seasons definitive 
doctor. Not the quirky and energized persona of Smith's previous carnation, but 
a more morose man, seasoned and torn from over one thousand years on the 
battlefields of Trenzelor.

The story begins with The Doctor alone and reflective, excitedly describing his 
most recent musings on monstrous evolution. And what a monster The Doctor has 
imagined for us. Perhaps the personification of fear itself.

Moffat poetically illustrates how he is able to draw upon his warped imagination 
and skillfully create a monster of the week villain with the same memorable 
uniqueness, equal to, and arguably more frightening, than previous ghouls like 
The Weeping Angels and the Confessional Priests from the Order of the Silence.

But this time the monster is all the more horrific, because for all intents, the 
creature doesn't really exist and only takes shape in the viewers imagination 
and never on screen.

The Doctor plays a propelling role to entangle Clara in her own time wise 
dilemma. In the tone of another of Moffat's most loved master pieces, "Blink", 
our tale of The Doctor's inner terror is held in place by the gravity of a 
touching love story generations in the making.

As fear is The Doctor's monster of focus, Clara must wrestle her own fear of 
intimacy by starting to hear Danny Pink as a romantic interest, and by listening 
to her own inner voice plans a disastrous lunch date. Shortly following the 
date, a series of TARDIS allowed events let's her see Dan as not only a current 
love interest, but also a child afraid of what may lie under the bed and a 
distant relative, whom The Doctor found afraid and alone at the very end of the 
universe due to his own time travel mishap.

But the real twist of this Clara driven drama beats in the hearts of The Doctor 
and a hidden childhood memory, bringing to life the lonely fear of The Doctor 
and anyone who dares to silently listen.

THE NEW DOCTOR WHO'S DEBUT DEEP BREATH

Worth the weight or don't hold your breath?


The question that everyone has been asking me is 'What did you think of the new Doctor?', not, 'What did you think of the new Doctor Who episode?', because, after all, this is the first taste of the new Doctor's flavor and flair, and with the brilliance Smith brought to millions of new, younger fans, a much older Capaldi has regenerated into some pretty large shoes.

But how did Capaldi do? Well, for me at least, i was hooked from the start. The nonsensical monologue seemed reminiscent of Pertwee's own chatter as the third Doctor, and the slapstick action of the Doctor falling from the rooftop and breaking his fall by breaking through tree branches felt a little Baker's shenanigans at play, to the snyde banter we heard as disillusioned Clara and the Doctor discusses her severe narcissism poised the left his irritated speech bitterly accented with William Hartnell's biting tongue.

But lets not forget the newly emerging character of Capaldi. In the arching climax of this story, the Doctor and the main antagonist wrestle words in an out of control hot air balloon over Victorian England, when called upon to answer how far he'd go to protect humanity, he responds by simply saying one would be amazed at how far he would indeed go, possibly foreshadowing dark decisions to come. And the story was well done to introduce not only a new Doctor, but a new side to his current Companion Clara, who up until then, had had a mildly flirtatious relationship with the Doctor.

Another well placed element was the time traveling starship stranded in subterranean London for millions of years being the Marie Antoinett, sister ship of the Madame de Pompadour from arguably one of Moffat's best self contained stories, and prelude to the first Amy Pond arch in Smith's turn at the Tardis, "The Girl In The Fireplace". Hopefully this hints at fertile ground for Clara to finally grow out of Amy's impossible shadow and into the impossible girl of her own right and the sharp dialogue and clever quips shared between the Doctor and she will allow the rather wishy washy image of a companion i have of Clara from last season to rinse away and allow for a strength of a companion rather like Dona Noble; platonic and sassy. And with two other questions ive been curious about already adressed, and presumably planned to be answered, there seems to be enough room for Moffat to flex his muscles and exercise his writing skills and see if he can maintain the large base of Tennant and Smith fangirls who seemingly only watched the Doctor because of his boyish good looks and charismatic charm.

The first question being who is the woman in the shop and and the second, why did the Doctor choose this particular face this time? What was he trying to tell himself? But of course in a show centered around a mad man in a time traveling blue box, the one thing you can always be sure of is; time will tell, and hopefully Capaldi's greatness aswell.

Media Enabled Musketeers "All for one and one for all" US-Russia Media Program

Participant Jonathan Novick's Eye Opening Film, DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME at Over Two Million Views on Youtube
New York participants have Skype discussion with their Russian counterparts

New York, NY (August 27th, 2014) - Downtown Community Television Center's program "Media Enabled Musketeers" will partner, this fall, with Moscow's Journalism Advancement and Support Center to connect disabled citizens with American and Russian local media organizations.  Project partners will conduct community training seminars on disability sensitivity as well as workshops on documentary storytelling for citizens with disabilities, journalists, and journalism students.  Journalists will pair up with disabled citizens to produce short films about issues that affect their community. 
Participants from Russia and the U.S. will travel to each other's countries to work together to make collaborative short films about disability issues.  In September, "Media Enabled Musketeers" will hold a mini festival of completed films which will be hosted by the Moscow Documentary Film Center.  Come October, DCTV will host a similar event in New York City, completing the exchange.
One of the films showcased is Jonathan Novick's eye-opening DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME, which took the internet by storm, going live on Youtube August 7th.  The short chronicles a day in the life of Jonathan, living in New York City, who was born with Achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism.  Jon uses footage from a hidden camera disguised as a button on his shirt to show what he has to deal with: mistaken identity, harassment, condescension, and bigotry.  The film has already garnered over two million views, with coverage on Inside Edition, BBC Trending, Yahoo, Huffington Post, The Gloss, Laughing Squid and many others.  
"This is why we picked up cameras 40 years ago.  To help give a voice to the voiceless.  We are inspired by the films this talented group has made.  And excited at the reception from the public.  In America and Russia", said DCTV's Cofounder and 16 time National Emmy winner, Jon Alpert.
DCTV is a media arts center that fosters diverse viewpoints by providing professional training, state-of-the-industry resources, and by creating outstanding documentary productions, with the belief that diversity of expression strengthens our democracy and enhances civil society.  Founded by Jon Alpert and Keiko Tsuno, DCTV has fostered a diverse and inclusive media arts community for 40 productive years. DCTV pursues its educational mission by introducing members of the community to the basics of electronic media through hundreds of free or low-cost production courses and access to broadcast-quality production equipment. 
Media Enabled Musketeers is funded by the Eurasia Foundation and its SEE (US-Russia Social Expertise Exchange) Program and the U.S. State Department with additional support from Slava Fetisov (the famous hockey player), SONY, Edna Eidelberg and Curt Rosloff, Bank of America Matching Gift Program, Time Warner Cares, The Center for New Media and Society, TV Radoneje (Sergiev Posad), and TVK (Krasnoyarsk).

First Look at Paul Rudd in Marvel's "ANT-MAN"

Shot on location in San Francisco, Paul Rudd stars as Scott Lang AKA Ant-Man, in Marvel Studio's Ant-Man, scheduled for release in the U.S. on July 17th, 2015.  

MARVEL STUDIOS BEGINS PRODUCTION ON
MARVEL’S “ANT-MAN”

Principal Photography Begins in San Francisco
For July 17, 2015 Release

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA (August, 18, 2014) – Marvel Studios began principal photography today in San Francisco, California, on its newest Super Hero franchise Marvel’s “Ant-Man.” The film brings one of Marvel comics’ original founding members of The Avengers into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The production also shoots on location in Atlanta, Georgia, which serves as the base for the film’s production.

Set for release in the United States on July 17, 2015, the film is directed by Peyton Reed (“Bring it On,” “The Break-Up”) and stars Paul Rudd (“I Love You Man,” “Role Models”) as Scott Lang aka Ant-Man, and Michael Douglas (“Behind The Candelabra,” “Wall Street”) as his mentor Dr. Hank Pym and Evangeline Lilly (“The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” “Lost”) as Hope Van Dyne, daughter of Hank Pym.

The film also includes outstanding additional cast including Corey Stoll (“House of Cards,” “The Bourne Legacy”), Bobby Cannavale (“Danny Collins,” “Annie,” “HBO’s “The Long Play”), Michael Peña (“End of Watch,” “American Hustle”), Abby Ryder Fortson (“Togetherness”), Judy Greer (“13 Going on 30,” “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”), David Dastmalchian (“The Dark Knight,” “Prisoners”), Wood Harris (“Remember the Titans,” “The Wire”), John Slattery (“Mad Men,” Marvel’s “Iron Man 2”) and Gregg Turkington (“The Comedy,” “On Cinema”) and multi-hyphenate T.I. (“American Gangster,” “Takers”).

Based on the Marvel comic character first published in 1962, Marvel’s “Ant-Man” continues the lineage of epic big-screen adventures chronicled in Marvel’s “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” “Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Marvel’s The Avengers,” “Iron Man 3,” “Thor: The Dark World,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and the upcoming Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron.”

Armed with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, con-man Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas), protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Pym and Lang must plan and pull off a heist that will save the world.

Marvel’s “Ant-Man” is produced by Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, with Louis D’Esposito, Alan Fine, Victoria Alonso, Michael Grillo and Stan Lee serving as executive producers.  

Director Peyton Reed’s creative team also includes Oscar® winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter (“Titanic,” “21”), production designer Sheppard Frankel (“Identity Thief,” “Horrible Bosses”) costume designer Sammy Sheldon Differ (“X-Men: First Class,” “Kick Ass”), visual effects supervisor Jake Morrison (Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World,” “The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers”), stunt coordinator Jeff Habberstad (Marvel’s “Iron Man 3,” “X-Men: Days of Future Past”) and six-time Oscar® nominee, special effects supervisor Dan Sudik (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Marvel’s The Avengers”).  The editors include Dan Lebental, ACE (Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World,” Marvel’s “Iron Man”) and Colby Parker Jr. (“Lone Survivor,” “Hancock”).

Marvel Studios’ upcoming release schedule includes Marvel’s “Avengers: Age of Ultron” on May 1, 2015, Marvel’s “Captain America 3” on May 6, 2016, and Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy 2,” on July 28, 2017.  

Marvel Studios continued its unprecedented success in 2014 with more record-breaking films including the #1 releases of Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which recorded the largest April opening of all time at $95 million and Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which recorded the largest August opening of all time with $94.1 million. Both films were the #1 film in the world when they were released on April 4, 2014 and August 1, 2014, respectively.

In 2013 Marvel Studios delivered #1 openings for Marvel’s “Thor: The Dark World,” which grossed over $640 million worldwide and Marvel’s “Iron Man 3,” which grossed over $1.2 billon worldwide and was the highest grossing film of the calendar year.

In 2012 the studio produced the critically acclaimed “Marvel’s The Avengers,” which set the all-time, domestic 3-day weekend box office record at $207.4 million. The film, which shattered both domestic and international box office records, is Disney’s highest-grossing global and domestic release of all time and marked the studio’s fifth film to gross more than $1 billion worldwide.

In the summer of 2011, Marvel successfully launched two new franchises with Marvel’s “Thor,” starring Chris Hemsworth, and Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” starring Chris Evans. Both films opened #1 at the box office and have grossed over $800 million worldwide combined. In 2010 Marvel’s “Iron Man 2,” starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury took the #1 spot in its first weekend with a domestic box office gross of $128.1 million.

In the summer of 2008, Marvel produced the summer blockbuster movies Marvel’s “Iron Man” and Marvel’s “The Incredible Hulk.” Marvel’s “Iron Man,” in which Robert Downey Jr. originally donned the Super Hero’s powerful armor and starred alongside co-stars Terrence Howard, Jeff Bridges, Shaun Toub and Gwyneth Paltrow, was released May 2, 2008, and was an immediate box office success.

Garnering the number one position for two weeks in a row, the film brought in over $100 million in its opening weekend.  On June 13, 2008, Marvel released Marvel’s “The Incredible Hulk,” marking its second number one opener of that summer.
