GlobalData tracks real-time data concerning all merger and acquisition, private equity/venture capital and asset transaction activity around the world from thousands of company websites and other reliable sources. One prediction is that AI technology will keep on challenging our perceptions, whether films make use of the AI concept on screen or off. He says, however, that nagging doubt or weirdness can sometimes be used to good effect in a film, such as for crowds of surging zombies. One effective use of AI and autonomous agent systems was 2013’s World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, which had scenes with swarms of animated zombies. I’ve had people say to me that they hadn’t been to the cinema in two years, but had gone to see Belfast, bringing their mums and their grannies in a cross-generational thing.

At the QFT cinema in Belfast, it was their biggest success story in over 50 years … Read More

New Film Releases, Latest Movie Releases

Posted on by jimmy

Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, based on Anthony Burgess’ 1962 novel, is a classic dystopian story. Alex is a teenage delinquent with a penchant for classical music and inflicting pain on innocent people. When his crimes catch up with him, he’s sent to prison in the hopes that he can be cured of his taste for so-called “ultra-violence” with an experimental aversion therapy. The movie, which was shot with extreme wide-angle lenses to create the dreamy, fantastical quality that pervades the film, went on to become one of the era’s most controversial films.

One film that’s 100% guaranteed to make you cry is If Anything Happens I Love You. You may have noticed a strange, black and white animation dominated Netflix’s ‘Top 10’ list, or noticed people talking about it on social media. It’s only 12 minutes long and doesn’t have any dialogue, but If Anything Happens I Love You … Read More

Business Ideas For Movie Lovers

Posted on by jimmy

He is currently writing several fiction and non-fiction works. Frightening film fanatic or not, most will agree Scream was iconic. It references other horror flicks, their antagonists and even borrows quotes from Psycho.

From the beginning it’s easy to understand how infatuated the killer is with scary movies. And like the masked murderer in Scream, you should take time to study and learn from your competitors. Studying their business model, their payments system and the keywords they use in their marketing campaigns can help you improve – and realise threats before you’re impaled by one. Not that we need justification, but if we’re going to be streaming our evenings away, we may as well be learning some vital and important business lessons and absorbing ideas that could lead to our next big business revelation. Which is why I’ve been scouring the streams for the best box-sets and films to spark … Read More

Movie Quote Inspired

Posted on by jimmy

This character and backstory inspired some of the thinking behind one future film franchise from the Star Wars creator George Lucas. Almost Famous is based on “The Allman Brothers Story”, a Rolling Stone feature by Cameron Crowe. Crowe also directed the movie, which is semi-autobiographical, and follows a teenage Rolling Stone reporter who goes on tour with a fictional band called Stillwater in the ’70s as he tries to get his first cover feature.

Suspended from boarding school for a series of comically Machiavellian transgressions, Harvey is forced to join his father on a transatlantic steamship trip. But his life takes a dramatic turn when he falls overboard and is rescued https://www.factory-publishing.com/ by Portuguese fisherman Manuel . Which is not to say that it’s hard to pinpoint Spielberg’s sources of inspiration. In keeping with his nice-guy image, he frequently generously credits the influence of his filmmaking heroes.

Tom Hardy is the hardest actor for Americans to understand, study finds

Posted on by admin

Tom Hardy has been voted the hardest actor to understand by Americans.

A new survey by Preply, via The Wrap, found that US viewers have a harder time following along with the British actor’s dialogue than any other star.

The Birmingham-set gangster series Peaky Blinders, a show on which Hardy appears as Alfie Solomons, was also voted the show Americans found the hardest to understand.

Hardy’s name was followed by Sofia Vergara, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sean Connery, Johnny Depp, Jackie Chan, Ozzy Osbourne, and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Fans of the actor will know that Hardy can be notoriously difficult to understand in certain roles, known for mumbling or delivering his lines from behind a mask with a heavy accent, as in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises.

In 2018, US publicationVulture published an article titled “Tom Hardy Needs to Learn How to Enunciate”. In 2020, Dallas Observer ran

Chinese star Jackie Chan produces action movie in Syria filmed amid remnants of ongoing civil unrest – Film & TV

Posted on by admin

A ghost town since a 2018 operation to flush out jihadists, Hajar al-Aswad near the Syrian capital has come back to life as the location of a Jackie Chan-produced action movie.

Home Operation is inspired by China’s 2015 evacuation of Chinese and other foreign citizens from the war in Yemen, an operation that was seen as a landmark for Beijing.

Yemen was deemed too dangerous a venue to shoot and some scenes of the film, which is also backed by an Emirati production company, are being shot in Syria, although the script only mentions a fictional country called Poman.

The ruins of Hajar al-Aswad on Thursday filled with a motley crew of actors in Yemeni tribal attire, Syrian extras in uniform and polo-wearing Chinese film crew members.

Jackie Chan is the main producer, although there are no plans for him to visit Syria.

The Moment John Wick’s Director Realized They Made A Great Movie [Comic-Con]

Posted on by admin

Moderated by Collider’s Steven Weintraub, the Directors on Directing panel proved to be a treasure trove of fun details and hidden surprises — not least of all featuring Keanu Reeves himself crashing the panel in order to help debut the “John Wick 4” trailer. With /Film’s Jacob Hall in attendance, director Chad Stahelski was asked to pick the biggest “pinch-me moment” of his career. First jokingly alluding to his previous career as a stuntman, specifically when he performed the famous move from “The Matrix” where Keanu Reeves’ Neo performs a cartwheel and picks up a gun during the climactic lobby shootout scene, Stahelski then followed up by pinpointing a much more meaningful set of circumstances.

“The first time we did ‘Wick,’ the first movie, no one had really heard of it. I think we were in Fantastic Fest in Austin (Texas) and I was sitting next to Keanu and we

Keanu Reeves Reveals The Crazy Violent Idea That Inspired His BRZRKR Comic And The Upcoming Netflix Movie

Posted on by admin

Keanu Reeves is an actor who is pretty well-versed when it comes to the subject of fictional violence. The man has spent decades playing a wide variety of characters who know how to expertly and efficiently kick an enemy’s ass – from his kung fu moves on display in the Matrix movies to the deadly skills featured in the John Wick series. One thing we’ve never seen him do, however, is rear back his fist and straight-up punch a guy through the chest… but evidently that’s an image that fascinates him on some level, as it was evidently the key idea that inspired his hit new comic book series BRZRKR (an adaptation of which is now in the works at Netflix).

Boom! Studios published the first issue of BRZRKR in March 2021, and it’s been such a massive success that the comic got to host a special Hall
