The Elena premiere,after the screening. It's Q & A time with director Peta Costa, & Actor/Executive Producer of the film Tim Robbins.

Data Hard: How much,will these two films end up costing...

Note: Robbins is going to fund Costa's next movie, an small action/adventure drama.

The blond lady host,asks for clarification- as to whom I'm referring.I said the Producer of the film.
Robbins looks shocked,that I even asked the question.

Peta Costa (politely): It cost $500,000.

An audible shock comes from the crowd.

Tim Robbins (an arresting smirk): That's NOT really a lot of money.

Costa and the host -nod in agreement.

Robbins (eyeing me with a bit of anger,keeps smirk): If that's what you're referring to.

I politely smile back at Robbins, and look to Costa who continues her answer.

Robbins (faux anger): Just ignore me, when the pretty one starts talking to you,huh?

A few laughs breaks out,as Costa finishes her statement and I thank her for her lengthy answer.

Afterwards, whenever I try to ask another question,the host looks at Robbins- he just worriedly shook his head No.

HIT GIRL TO SAVE THE WORLD, BY THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW-ON THE 5TH WAVE.

Principal photography has commenced on the highly anticipated motion picture The 5th Wave, Columbia Pictures' adaptation of the bestselling young adult novel.  The action-adventure film is directed by J Blakeson, with a screenplay by Susannah Grant, based on the book by Rick Yancey.  The producers are Tobey Maguire, Graham King, Lynn Harris, and Matthew PlouffeDenis O'Sullivan and Richard Middleton are the executive producers.
Slated for domestic release on January 29, 2016, The 5th Wave stars Chloe Grace Moretz as Cassie, Nick Robinson as Ben Parish aka "Zombie," Ron Livingston as Dad/Oliver, Maggie Siff as Mom/Lisa, Alex Roe as Evan Walker, Maika Monroe as Ringer, Zackary Arthur as Sam, and Liev Schreiber as Vosch.

Throughout photography, fans will have unrivaled access to the production, including a wealth of behind-the-scenes photos, interaction with cast and crew, and on-set updates via social media.

CELEBRITY Q AND A: DENZEL WASHINGTON! (EXCLUSIVE!)

I was at a local, L.A. movie palace,watching The Equalizer starring America's Brother- Denzel Washington. I'm such a fan, I stayed through the entire end credits,enjoying Eminem's latest single,Guts Over Fear.

Anyway,the film ended with the Sony tag-line,"Be Moved" and the lights go up. I heard a curious,Southern voice state,"So, how was the film?" I really didn't hear him,as I was gathering my items from the mall. 

He repeated his question,continuing a tad confused "You've spent two hours watching me,and you don't know who I am? " I then hear a lady shout from the back, "Fuck, that's Denzel!"

I look over and see the two time Oscar winner,dressed not unlike- as he was in the film:  A blue dress shirt, grey dress pants,with a small bag of items of his own,under his arm. 

The lady then begs Lincoln Rhyme for an autograph.He quickly looks at his watch,and simply states "I can't. Sorry,my family." As the lady audible sighs over this development, The Man on Fire turned back to me, and for the third time and restated "So, how was the film?" 

 "WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS!!!"-Denzel from Man on Fire: 2004.


I leaped to my feet, startling the both of us for a moment. I then demanded, "IT WAS GREAT!" The Mighty Quinn looks fairly pleased with response,nods happily. He then cocked his head & answered "Great,huh?" I then get kind of nervous,like I had sold out and revise my answer,"It was VERY good."

Washington smirked and then stated- like a game show host, "Well, I have to take your first answer-Great." He then turned around,laughed triumphantly and quickly made his way to the exit.

IS THIS UGLY, GOLD-DIGGING WHORE SCREWING NICK CANNON, AND DESTROYING MARIAH CAREY'S MARRIAGE?


IS THERE A DEATH DOCTOR LINK, BETWEEN JOHN RITTER AND JOAN RIVERS??


CINEMA'S "YEAR OF THE BIBLE" CONTINUES, WITH "SEXY" COUNTRY ROM-COM, THE SONG...



Before SHADES OF GRAY, "Dating Naked", or even Harlequin romance novels, there was Song of Solomon, the "sexy" book of the Bible. From the best-selling book of all time, the racy Song of Solomon has inspired a new movie THE SONG opening nationwide this Friday.
Starring Alan Powell of pop band Anthem Lights, Caitlin Nicol-Thomas ("Nashville"), and Ali Faulkner (THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN – PART 1), THE SONG is a music-driven romantic drama combining ancient wisdom and a classic love triangle to deliver the most provocative film in Hollywood's "Year of the Bible". The PG-13 rating hints at the not-quite Sunday school fare. 
Releasing nationwide on September 26th from Samuel Goldwyn Films and City on A Hill Studio, THE SONG takes an honest look into the life of a world-weary recording artist searching for meaning and love. Inspired by Song of Solomon (known for its poetic language about love and lovers), THE SONG features 11 original songs with an American Roots flavor.
The film has been screened for more than 10,000 pastors and church leaders over the course of the summer. Additionally, an extensive line of curriculum resources are available to further the experience and become a catalyst for strengthening marriage. Executive Producer of THE SONG and Teaching Pastor of America's fourth largest church, Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, KY, Kyle Idleman hopes the film will generate honest conversations about topics often avoided in ministry settings.
"I think the church often hides under the covers, so to speak, when it comes to the issues of love, sex and marriage, and by doing so popular culture continues to shape how we think about these subjects. It seems like it might be good for [the church] to step back and ask the question, 'How's that workin' out for us?'" says Idleman.
THE SONG follows aspiring singer-songwriter Jed King (Alan Powell) as he struggles to catch a break and escape the long shadow of his father, a country music legend. After reluctantly accepting a gig at a local vineyard harvest festival, Jed is love-struck by the vineyard owner's daughter, Rose (Ali Faulkner), and a romance quickly blooms. Soon after their wedding, Jed writes Rose "The Song," which becomes a breakout hit. Thrust into a life of stardom and a world of temptation in the form of fellow performer Shelby Bale (Caitlin Nicol-Thomas), Jed's life and marriage begin to fall apart.
Woven throughout the story is voice-over narration taken from verses in Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes and Proverbs; metaphorically, the film draws on the life and writings of King Solomon, thought to be one of the wisest men in history, and known for his book on love and intimacy. However, with its entertaining blend of music, romance and heartbreak, THE SONG plays to wider audiences and is reminiscent of films like WALK THE LINE, COUNTRY STRONG, and CRAZY HEART.
"THE SONG has the potential to resonate with anyone, regardless of their beliefs or background. I think movie-goers will appreciate this film as a stand-alone music-driven drama that plays as a cautionary love story and not a cinematic sermon," says writer and director Richard Ramsey.
What others are saying:
  • "THE SONG has a great message on priorities, communication, faith and redemption." – Jeff Foxworthy
  • "THE SONG's music will stick with you, as will the message. Go see this important film."- John Howard, Duck Commander
  • "A real interpretation of life on the road, and a STAR performance from Alan Powell – THE SONG is not your glossy Christian movie."- Chuck Howard, Multi-platinum, award-winning music producer/songwriter who created hits for country stars LeAnn Rimes, Trick Pony, and others
  • "This is not a typical Christian film. It is a raw portrayal of tragic choices while at the same time offering hope of redemption."- Michael Catt, Pastor, Sherwood Baptist Church

CELEBRITY Q AND A: SIGOURNEY WEAVER.



Data Hard:Wow, you look like Sigourney Weaver.

Sigourney Weaver: (she smiles knowingly)

Data: It's probably because of your hair (Weaver's quintessential red-haired, sophisticated, exec look.) 

Weaver: It's probably because...I'm so tall (she's 6 foot even.)

Hard nods head in agreement

Weaver: Or the fact that I usually have Aliens around me. Or monsters (an illusion to her recent hit Cabin in the Woods.She played a Catherine Parker (Working Girl) type gal-trying to save the world,through murder.)

 
We both laugh at her gracious sense or humor.

Weaver: What's favorite movie of mine?

Data: I loved her Galaxy Quest. (Note: I'm so nervous, I start referring to her in the third person.)

Weaver: (confused, but intrigued) Why?

Hard: It's the only time in career, she went blond.

Weaver: (The queen of Sci-Fi blushed a bit.) The Star Trek fans are the best and most loyal in the world!
Are you a Trekker?

Data: Yes

Weaver: Oh,who was my co-star in that one? 

Hard: Tim Allen.

Weaver: That's right. Hey I know what you'd like to do? Hi-Ya!




Weaver (in jest) strike a karate ready pose.We both both laugh charmingly.

Weaver: We had a great time making fun of it.

Hard: For Trekkers: You guys did with love.You didn't go in with a ,here's why Trek sucks attitude.You respected us and that made it possible- to laugh at the show's silliness and structure (60's era mainly.) 

Weaver: (impressed) My favorite of hers (mockingly) is Gorillas in the Mist.

Data: She almost won an Oscar for that,didn't she?

Weaver: (She shoots back sullen and angry eyes at me) Yes, She almost did. (Flares nostrils)

Weaver did win two Golden Globes (no pun intended) for both ...Mist and Working Girl,back in 1988.
The first actress to win twice in one year.

Weaver: I really admire her strength and determination... to do the right the things for those Gorillas.

Data: That was Dian Fossey wasn't it?

Weaver nods approvingly.

Weaver: Well, times flies when- you're being talked about, like you're not even there. (smiles) I hope to see this at your website. You did a good job.

Data is shocked that she's even heard of me.

Weaver: I'm paying you compliment.

Hard smiles and nods thankfully.

Weaver: (magnanimously) I've got to go, (wide smile) Good Bye.

NETFLIX IS PISSED- YOU'RE THE WORST HIT,SO RIPS OFF LOVE, FROM JUDD APATOW.

 Judd Apatow, Paul Rust and Lesley Arfin are bringing an unflinching, hilarious and excruciatingly honest take on modern relationships to Love, a new Netflix original series, licensed globally and debuting in 2016 in all Netflix territories. Netflix has made a two-season commitment to Love, which debuts with 10 episodes in 2016 and 12 the following year.
Love follows Gus (Paul Rust from I Love You, Beth Cooper and Inglorious Basterds) and Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) as they navigate the exhilarations and humiliations of intimacy, commitment, and other things they were hoping to avoid. Jacobs is best known for her role as Britta in the critically-acclaimed series Community and can next be seen in Community's 6th season, Life Partners, Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and Girls.
The half-hour comedy series is produced by Apatow Productions and Legendary Television, and created and written by Apatow, Rust and Arfin (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Girls). Brent Forrester (The Office, The Simpsons) will executive produce.
"Judd Apatow has a unique comedic voice that manages to be delightful, insightful, and shockingly frank -- often at the same time," said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.

HOW CARMINE FALCONI TOOK DOWN GANGSTER WHORE FISH MOONEY,IN GOTHAM.

FOX has announced Monday, September 22,as the premiere date for Gotham, this year's most anticipated new TV drama. This prequel series explores the extraordinary good-versus-evil struggles in broken Gotham City; a city that's the birthplace of the world's most infamous criminals and legendary superheroes. The origin story featuring DC Comics super-villains and vigilantes, reveals an entirely new chapter that's never been told before - before Batman, there was Gotham.
Gotham will premiere on FOX on September 22 @ 8pm. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (The Mentalist, Rome), this one-hour drama follows one cop's rise through a dangerously corrupt city teetering on the edge of evil and chronicles the genesis of one of the most popular superheroes of our time.
With a reputation synonymous with law and order, Commissioner James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is one of the crime world's greatest foes. Everyone knows the name. But what is known of Gordon's rise from rookie detective to police commissioner? And what did it take to navigate the layers of corruption that secretly ruled Gotham City, the spawning ground of the world's most iconic villains – the larger-than-life personas who would become Cat-woman, The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face and The Joker?
Brave, earnest and eager to prove himself, the newly-minted detective Gordon is partnered with the brash, but shrewd police legend Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue), as the two stumble upon the city's highest-profile case ever: the murder of local billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne. At the scene of the crime, Gordon meets the sole survivor: the Waynes' hauntingly intense 12-year-old son, Bruce (David Mazouz), toward whom the young detective feels an inexplicable kinship. Moved by the boy's profound loss, Gordon vows to catch the killer.
As he navigates the often-underhanded politics of Gotham's criminal justice system, Gordon encounters imposing gang boss Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett Smith), and many of the characters who will become some of DC Comics' most renowned and enduring villains, including a teenaged Selina Kyle/the future Cat-woman (Camren Bicondova) and Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin (Robin Lord Taylor).
Although the crime drama follows Gordon's turbulent and singular rise through the Gotham City police department, it also focuses on the unlikely friendship Gordon forms with the young heir to the Wayne fortune, who is being raised by his unflappable butler, Alfred (Sean Pertwee) – a friendship that will last them all of their lives and will play a crucial role in helping the young boy eventually become the crusader he's destined to be

DESTROY A BULLY'S FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS WITH HUEY FREEMAN.

As bullying continues to affect millions of kids nationwide, Cartoon Network is kicking off its annual Stop Bullying: Speak Up campaign with a video call-to-action encouraging people to speak up on behalf of kids who need help. With a goal of attaining the combined voice of one million user-generated videos, the network is giving people the opportunity to say to the world, "I Speak Up." By proclaiming those three words into a mobile device and sharing the video at www.StopBullyingSpeakUp.com as well as their own social media platforms using the hashtag #ISpeakUp, participants are vowing to say something if they witness bullying.
The initiative, which first launched in 2010, will culminate during CARTOON NETWORK'S SPEAK UP WEEK September 29 through October 3, as a kick-off to National Bullying Prevention Month in October. The goal for this year is simple: To collect one million user-generated videos that unite the voices of kids, parents, educators, celebrities and government officials, each committing to speak up—either themselves or to a trusted adult—when someone is bullied.
Select videos from participants will become part of new campaign spots to appear on Cartoon Network, its digital platforms and Boomerang throughout October. Cartoon Network's partnering organizations—including Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), 4-H Clubs, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the Federal Partners in Bullying Prevention—also will be reaching out to their targeted audiences and communities to help reach the one million videos goal. Through these combined efforts toward a united cause, Stop Bullying: Speak Up underscores that speaking up is one of the most effective ways to help bring a bullying situation to an end.
"We're so proud of the youth who inspired this campaign by their courage and kindness. Our goal is to give young people, and the adults who care for them, the confidence and competence to speak up safely and effectively when bullying happens," said Alice Cahn, Cartoon Network vice president of social responsibility. "Working with expert partners nationwide, Cartoon Network provides practical bullying prevention advice kids can put into action. This new phase of our campaign is meant to empower anyone who wants to take an active role in seeing bullying come to an end. We embrace and thank the one million people out there willing to publicly take a stand; coming together, we can all make a difference for our nation's children."
During CARTOON NETWORK'S SPEAK UP WEEK, in addition to the videos, Cartoon Network will air shorts, bumps and PSAs with anti-bullying themes featuring the overlying message that "speaking up" should become the action when bullying occurs. Each message will remind viewers to visit StopBullyingSpeakUp.com to learn how they can participate in the one million video challenge. Additional spots will feature animated characters from Cartoon Network's original series interacting with kids and families who have shared their "I Speak Up" message at StopBullyingSpeakUp.com. Furthermore, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Turner Broadcasting sister networks TBS, TNT, CNN, HLN, NBA TV and TruTV will air special bumps showcasing recorded messages from Turner celebrities encouraging even more viewer participation. Finally, an official "I Speak Up" tally will appear onscreen each day noting how many people have officially "spoken up" by submitting videos and/or pledges during within the campaign.
For anyone interested in sharing their own "I Speak Up" video, easy instructions are readily available at www.StopBullyingSpeakUp.com, along with recommendations for optimum video results. All participants will be asked to sign a digital release form to clear use of the video for all on-air, online and/or social media opportunities. Users under the age of 18 will be encouraged to ask a parent for permission and for help in submitting a video. Those that participate are also encouraged to use the hashtag #ISpeakUp to share videos via their own social media platforms to help spread the word and enlist friends to take part in the challenge.
About Stop Bullying: Speak Up

BRANGELINA GETS HITCHED..."YOU KNOW,FOR (THE) KIDS!"

TRASHY,TALENTED,TRAGIC: THE BRITTANY MURPHY STORY.


   The Brittany Murphy Story, which shares the real-life story of the ambitious and talented actress – who rose to fame quickly, but succumbed much too young to the dark side of Hollywood – will make its worldwide premiere Saturday, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Lifetime.
   Produced by MarVista Entertainment, The Brittany Murphy Story follows the actress (Amanda Fuller, Cheap Thrills, Grey's Anatomy, Last Man Standing) and her mother, Sharon (Sherilyn Fenn, Magic City, Boxing Helena, Of Mice and Men, Twin Peaks), as they gamble everything in a move to Hollywood, determined to make young Brittany a star.
  Quickly landing a breakout role in the '90s hit Clueless, the 17-year-old continued her rapid climb to fame, working with some of Hollywood's biggest stars in such high-profile hits as Girl, Interrupted (with Angelina Jolie and Winona Ryder), Don't Say a Word (with Michael Douglas) and 8 Mile (with Eminem and Kim Basinger), among others.

     With a personal life equally as glamorous, Brittany dated leading men like Ashton Kutcher (Adam Hagenbuch, The Perks of Being a Wallflower), before settling down to marry British screenwriter Simon Monjack (Eric Petersen, Kirstie, the upcoming Naughty and Nice). But relentless rumors, media glare and merciless pursuit by paparazzi – coupled with insecurities about her appearance and an underlying desperation for approval – wreaked havoc and took an enormous toll on Brittany's fragile psyche.
   Through it all, Sharon remained her grounding force, but found too late that a mother's enduring love wasn't enough to save her from the dark side of life in Hollywood—and the world was shocked by Brittany's abrupt and mysterious death at just 32 years of age ... followed five months later by that of her widowed husband. Also starring Amy Davidson (The Capture of the Green River Killer, 8 Simple Rules), this biopic was directed by Joe Menendez from a screenplay by Peter Hunziker and Cynthia Riddle. The Brittany Murphy Story was produced by Carrie LaGrand with MarVista's CEO Fernando Szew, Sharon Bordas and Michael Moran serving as executive producers.

AFRICAN AMERICANS LOVE AFFAIR WITH PREMIUM TV ,IS COMING TO AN END?

According to a new Horowitz study,Black subscribers have long been some of pay TV's best customers.  Among the highest spenders on home TV, Internet, and phone services, Black households are the most likely to subscribe to digital add-ons like DVR, HD, and premium channels.  But recently-released data from Horowitz's 2014 FOCUS African America study indicate that Blacks, along with other multicultural audiences, are more likely than their White counterparts to consider cutting the cable cord.  
According to the study, Black audiences are some of the most passionate viewers of television content, with 40% of Black respondents saying they are "really into TV" compared to 33% of total urban respondents.  Consistent with previous years, Blacks also spend the most time watching TV content, with 39% reporting watching six or more hours per day.
"To date, cord-cutting has not had as big an impact on the pay TV business as many feared," notes Adriana Waterston, Horowitz's SVP, Marketing and Business Development, "but technology is a bigger disruptor among multicultural audiences, who tend to be early—and enthusiastic—adopters."
Blacks continue to be at the leading edge of new viewing technologies, with 36% of Black viewers saying new technologies are enabling them to watch more TV than ever before.  Furthermore, Black viewers report spending 23% of their TV viewing time streaming content.  In contrast, White viewers report spending 18% of their TV time streaming. View chart.
Black multichannel subscribers are twice as likely as Whites to report being likely to cancel their TV service in the next six months (20% vs. 10%).  Findings suggest that a greater reliance on new video technologies, rather than a lack of interest in TV, may be a contributing factor.  While Blacks who are likely to cord-cut report being "really into TV" at the same rate as total Blacks, these potential cord-cutters spend a higher percentage of their viewing time on alternative platforms (28%). View chart.
"The variety of consumer choices today is a game-changer," asserts Waterston.  "As online on-demand viewing becomes increasingly normalized and expected, MVPDs will need to focus on proving the value proposition of pay TV to retain their most valuable, tech-forward customers."
FOCUS African America is conducted among urban heads of household who are TV viewers. The 2014 edition is now available.
