Bad Boys 4 adds Ioan Gruffudd to the cast during principle photography

Bad Boys 4 adds Ioan Gruffudd to the cast during principle photography

The Former Fantastic Four actor will be gearing up for a run-in with the narcotics cops of the Bad Boys franchise.

One of the teases unveiled at CinemaCon this week during the Sony panel is the follow-up to the successful third entry in the Martin Lawrence-Will Smith buddy cop action comedy Bad Boys. Bad Boys for Life became 2020’s most successful movie when it got its release at the start of the year before COVID would shut down theaters for some time. Even without the pandemic, the film likely would have raked in the cash due to the popularity of the first two films.

According to Deadline, Ioan Gruffudd, known for his turn as Reed Richards in 2005’s Fantastic Four, has now joined the cast. It has been reported that Gruffudd will be playing a character named Lockwood, who is a high-profile attorney running for an election. The plot is being kept under wraps; however, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence would make an appearance at the Sony panel via a pre-recorded video saying that they are currently in their fourth week of filming. The duo recorded it on-location in Miami, where all the movies in the trilogy have taken place.

Sony has brought back the directing partners, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, to helm this release after their work on Bad Boys for Life, which they took over from Michael Bay. Arbi and Fallah are also known to have recently directed the notoriously scrapped superhero movie, Batgirl at Warner Bros before the regime change. They also worked together on the script for Bad Boys 4 along with Chris Bremner. Paola Núnez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Alexander Ludwig have been announced that they would be reprising their roles from the previous entry. And Eric Dane was previously announced to play the film’s villain.

For as long as it took a third to get made after the success of the second, the fourth was put in motion rather quickly. Although it was already planned to expand the franchise further, especially with the set-up of Mike Lowery’s son being recruited for police work, Sony jumped on the project after the box office numbers of the last film, and it would seem that Smith is eager to rebound his career after an infamous incident that some people may have heard of that happened at an awards show.

Damon Lindelof says he was asked to walk away from his Star Wars project

Damon Lindelof says he was asked to walk away from his Star Wars project

The sci-fi writer opens up about his labor of love project falling through but remains determined to get back in.

Amid the success of the different Star Wars streaming shows on Disney+, LucasFilm also suffered many start-stops of Star Wars film projects. Kathleen Kennedy had lined up filmmakers that were planning to bring new material to the theatrical releases in the wake of the sequel trilogy and spin-offs. Rian Johnson, Taika Waititi, Patty Jenkins, and Shawn Levy were all named at one point or another to be helming a Star Wars film. Some are still going forward, some are not. However, there was also a reported secret project being written by Lost and The Leftovers creator Damon Lindelof. Skip to a few months later, and Lindelof’s project would be continuing at LucasFilm, only now without Lindelof.

He would recently speak with Esquire about the debacle. The project was recently revealed to be a new movie or a new trilogy that saw Rey returning, and she would now be training a new generation of Jedi after the events of The Rise of Skywalker. Lindelof was reportedly writing a script for Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy to direct. Star Wars Celebration came and only Obaid-Chinoy was announced to be attached, but not Lindelof. The sci-fi writer says his departure was not his idea. “I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe. I joined the Star Wars universe and was asked to leave.”

Lindelof added that his script was a “true labor of love.” He asks himself, “Will I get back in line outside the club and try to get back in again? Absolutely.” He then jokes, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again. or again again try, as Yoda would say.”

Meanwhile, the writer is partaking in a bold experiment on his new show, Mrs. Davis, at Peacock. Mrs. Davis is about a nun who teams up with a cowboy on a quest for the Holy Grail. And if that logline sounds like it was generated from an algorithm, it was. The boldness of the show is that Lindelof and co-creator Tara Hernandez get their ideas for the show from material composed by AI technology. When the creative world fears and is enraged by the use of AI making synthetic art, the writers at Mrs. Davis decide to embrace and utilize it.

IMA ART Fertility Celebrates 1-Year Beverly Hills Anniversary
A Boutique Fertility & Surrogacy Concierge with Exclusive Positioning, Committed to Providing Exceptional Care to the Affluent.

IMA ART Fertility celebrates their one-year anniversary in Beverly Hills - launching a first-of-its-kind luxury fertility and surrogacy concierge service, dedicated to helping high-net-worth individuals realize their dreams of parenthood. 

Long before arriving on U.S. soil in the spring of 2022, the CEO & Co-Founder of IMA ART Fertility, Michelle Tang, identified an opportunity in a yet-to-be-defined field - luxury fertility and surrogacy.

The wealthy are not immune from the medical challenges and international legal hurdles associated with creating their families. Moreover, the super-rich often find themselves with little time to spare, as they're busy creating wealth for others. IMA ART Fertility Co-Founders made the decision to create and build a brand in a new rarified fertility space, exclusively targeting the uber-wealthy.

Researching the surrogacy digital landscape in the U.S., Ms. Tang identified a similarity among companies, vying for intended parents looking to create their families. Her objective was to bring something to the market which was appreciably and profoundly unique. 

First, and foremost, on the list of marketing priorities, would be the creation of a website exuding luxury. Coming from Hong Kong, with an appreciation for European elegance, Ms. Tang selected a website developer from that part of the world, with a feel for refinement and exquisiteness -imaartfertility.com was born. 

Secondly, a highly focused marketing campaign was launched targeting discreet high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals valuing privacy. 

Ms. Tang and fellow Co-Founder, Ron Sonnenberg, arrived in Beverly Hills on May 2, 2022, marking the one-year anniversary of relocating their operations from Hong Kong. Once on the ground, they embarked on a focused marketing campaign - introducing luxury fertility and surrogacy solutions to the world's well-heeled. Marketing involved a number of exclusive and high-visibility advertorials and memberships:-

  • SEEDS
  • Financial Times
  • Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce
  • LUXUO
  • Elite Traveler
  • Glion Institute of Higher Education
  • Salon Privé
  • Yahoo News 
  • AP

In less than one year, management was able to stake out its claim to being the first dedicated luxury fertility & surrogacy concierge in the US, and the entire world. In addition to an abundance of luxury hotels, fine dining and shopping concierge options in Beverly Hills, the Co-Founders engaged and emphasized working relationships with top professionals in the fields of Assisted Reproductive Technology, Egg & Sperm banking, Reproductive Law, Surrogacy Specific Medical Insurance, Escrow Management, a world-renowned OBGYN and a Specialized Labor and Delivery Registered Nurse, Double Certified in Obstetrics. 

Ms. Tang emphatically states, "Nobody does what we do, at the high level we do it. Wealthy individuals appreciate the finer things in life - this beautifully extends to creating their heirs. We provide an ultra private atmosphere for our parents and exceptional interpersonal care." 

About the Company: IMA ART is a high-value, bespoke professional advisory service providing transformative luxury fertility & surrogacy concierge - Beverly Hills. The company offers an exclusive suite of discreet fertility options to high-net-worth individuals. Learn more about IMA ART Fertility.

2023 Shiping Yilong Lake Marathon Has Officially Commenced With the Sound of the Starting Pistol

Shiping Yilong Lake Marathon

Marathon kicked off with more than 5,000 participants from 18 countries.

Xishui reports that the "Yihubaiying — Running Towards a New Journey" Shiping Yilong Lake Marathon kicked off on April 30 with more than 5,000 participants from 18 countries.

After intense competition, the women's full marathon championship was won by famous domestic marathon runner Yao Miao with a net score of 02:38:03, while the men's full marathon championship was won by Qin Zhongfu with a net score of 02:19:39. During the race, Yao Miao's most memorable impression was the scent of flowers and the stunning scenery along the track. The race took place during the blooming season of blue jacaranda and yellow laburnum flowers, which made her run with a joyful and carefree spirit. Despite narrowly missing out on first place in the race, well-known marathon athlete Yang Dinghong praised the Yilong Lake Marathon route as the "most beautiful special plateau lake race track" recently awarded by China City News. He believed that Yilong Lake was a deserving recipient of this title, and that this race route was the most beautiful one he has ever run on. As a professional marathon runner from Yunnan, he is also proud of his hometown's achievement.

The event was organized by the Shiping County People's Government. The race was exclusively planned and operated by Yunnan Fairyland 100 Marathon Cultural Industry Co., Ltd, as part of the Yunnan "Nine Plateau Lakes Marathon Grand Slam" series of events. The event included four races: full marathon, half marathon, 5km fun run, and 2.5km parent-chid mini-marathon, with a total of 5,000 participants.

Yilong Lake is the first plateau lake in Yunnan to complete the construction of an ecological corridor around the lake, with the fitness trail completed and opened to the public in 2019. The lake has hosted events such as the China Shiping Yangmei Festival Yilong Lake Bicycle Invitational, the "Yima Dangxian-Running Embracing the New Era" Yilong Lkae Marathon, and the "Colorful Yunnan National Fitness" demonstration series of activities. Since 2020, it has been awarded the title of Yunnan Sports Tourism Boutique Route for three consecutive years.

In recent years, Shiping County has insisted on the protection and management of Yilong Lake as the leader in promoting green, high-quality development, striving to create a channel for transforming "green mountains and blue waters into gold and silver." It has fully completed the "China's Most Beautiful Special Plateau Lake Race Track," which allows visitors to "walk amidst the mountains and waters, and appreciate the scenery with each step."

What Happened to The Goonies cast?

In this episode of What Happened to this Movie, we dicuss the vastly-different career paths of the actors who starred in The Goonies.

When Steve Spielberg’s The Goonies set sail in 1985, the world was unaware of the cast’s lasting appeal and power in the film industry. Featuring Hollywood legends like Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton, and Ke Huy Quan, The Goonies feels like a rare Hollywood treasure any pioneering filmmaker would endure boobytraps to have created.

In today’s video, we’ll explore The Goonies cast, including the fascinating twists and career moves of Feldman, Kerri Green, Jeff Cohen, Joe Pantoliano, Robert Davi, and Anne Ramsey. Regardless of where they ended up, The Goonies cast helped create one of Hollywood’s most iconic coming-of-age adventures to explore the silver screen. The Goonies’ legacy and influence on films that follow in its footsteps cannot be understated. Many filmmakers cite the nostalgic thrill ride as inspiration for The Monster SquadStranger ThingsSuper 8It, and many more.

Join us as we explore the cast of The Goonies, following many of the film’s stars throughout their varied careers, departures from the film industry, and more!

This episode is written (with Brad Hammerly), edited, produced, and narrated by Taylor James Johnson.

The Goonies has the following synopsis: Old-fashioned yarn about a band of adventurous kids who take on the might of a property developing company which plans to destroy their home to build a country club. When the children discover an old pirate map in the attic, they follow it into an underground cavern in search of lost treasure but come up against plenty of dangerous obstacles along the way.

Tron: Ares: Cillian Murphy rumored to be reprising Tron: Legacy role

Tron: Ares: Cillian Murphy rumored to be reprising Tron: Legacy role

Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy rumored to return for Tron: Ares, reprising his Tron: Legacy role of Edward Dillinger Jr.

According to scooper Daniel Richtman via his Patreon, Cillian Murphy is set to reprise his Tron: Legacy role in the upcoming Tron: Ares as the villain. You should consider this to be a rumor for the time being, but Richtman does have a pretty good track record with these scoops.

If it’s been a while since you last watched Tron: Legacy, you might not even remember that Cillian Murphy was in it. He played Edward Dillinger Jr., the head of ENCOM’s software design team and the son of former ENCOM senior executive Ed Dillinger, the character played by David Warner in the original Tron. The role was more of a cameo, but felt like it was setting the stage for something bigger in the next movie.

Jared Leto is still attached to star in Tron: Ares, and Disney has been talking with Joachim Rønning (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) to direct. A report from earlier in the year claimed that production was looking to get underway in Vancouver this August, but we haven’t heard all that much since.

The road to another Tron movie has been a long one. Even before the release of Tron: Legacy, a third film was in the early stages of development. Disney greenlit the project with Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski set to direct and Garret Hedlund and Olivia Wilde returning, but in 2015, they pulled the plug. Kosinski later suggested that Disney scrapped the sequel because of their new toys — Marvel and Star Wars. “When I made Tron: Legacy, they didn’t own Marvel; they didn’t own Star Wars,” Kosinski said. “We were the play for fantasy and science fiction. And once you’ve got those other things under your umbrella, it makes sense that you’re going to put your money into a known property and not the weird art student with black fingernails in the corner — that was Tron.

Jared Leto gave an update about the project last year. “I’m a super fan of Tron, and we are working hard on Tron with our incredible partners at Disney,” Leto said. “Just an amazing group of creative people. We’re getting closer. We’re getting closer and closer, and who knows? Something may be [coming] sooner than later.

Cillian Murphy will next be seen starring as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which opens in theaters on July 21st. Would you like to see Cillian Murphy return for Tron: Ares?
