The 15:17 To Paris: The True Story Of A Terrorist, A Train, And Three American Heroes

It seems that Clint Eastwood is continuing his passion for stories about regular guys turning into heroes. According to Deadline, the iconic director is taking on the story of Roseburg native Alek Skarlatos and his friends who thwarted a terrorist train attack in France. The story is based on the book ‘The 15:17 to Paris: The True Story of a Terrorist, a Train, and Three American Heroes.’

Last year, Eastwood directed ‘Sully’, a biographical drama about US Airways pilot Chesley Sullenberger, who made an emergency landing on the Hudson River and saved all 155 passengers and crew. Prior to that, he made ‘American Sniper’ about the Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle.

Dorothy Blyskal adapted the book for the feature with Eastwood set to produce the film with Tim Moore, Kristina Rivera and Jessica Meier.

In August 2015, Army National Guard specialist Alek Skarlatos, and his childhood friends, U.S. Airman First Class Spencer Stone and Sacramento State University senior Anthony Sadler, subdued a heavily armed terrorist while boarded on a train bound for Paris. The three friends eventually came back home to the US and received a heroes’ welcome.

‘Deadpool 2’ Update: Josh Brolin set to play Cable

Josh Brolin has signed on to play the time-traveling mutant Cable, Hollywood Reporter confirmed Wednesday. Yes, many of us know Brolin is also set to supervillain Thanos in “Avengers: Infinity War”, so we might be in for a perplexing situation here.

Indeed, it didn’t take long for many fans to react, including Wade Wilson / Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, who took to twitter to joke about the fresh casting announcement: “The fuck, Fox! You can’t play 2 characters in the same universe!! Josh Brolin was in Sicario and I was in Sabrina The Teenage Witch.”

But come on, it’s not like Ryan isn’t guilty of the same for taking multiple Marvel roles. Before Deadpool, he was Hannibal King in “Blade: Trinity”. And of course then there’s a few others such as Michael B. Jordan, who was Human Torch in ‘Fantastic Four’ (2015) and will be the “Black Panther” in 2018, and Chris Evans who played Johnny Storm in the original “Fantastic Four” films before he was Captain America. Of course knowing Reynolds, this is all in jest.

Rumors as to who will play Cable circulated since the character was announced in Deadpool’s post-credit scene; actors including Pierce Brosnan, Nathan Fillion, and Michael Shannon come to mind.

David Leitch is directing Deadpool 2, and is expected to hit theaters in 2018.

Sean Cameron Michael


Technically, Sean Cameron Michael is a Hollywood newcomer…but only technically. The veteran actor relocated to Los Angeles four or so years ago, after years spent living and working in his native South Africa. I reached him by phone to connect with him about his latest projects, including the independent film Last Broken Darkness and the series Blood Drive.

Q: What attracted you to Last Broken Darkness?

SCM: I had worked with Christopher-Lee dos Santos on a previous project, years ago, a short film, and he had mentioned the idea of this film to me, and said if it ever came to fruition he wanted me to work on it. We ended up shooting it in South Africa in May 2015. It’s a post-apocalyptic story about a father who has lost his wife and kid, and people are surviving underground. Usually in South Africa, movies are either comedies or political in nature, so this was exciting.

An Album Review: Pure Comedy by Father John Misty

Posted on by

By Sukhbir Dhillon

Father John Misty’s, also known as John Tillman album released on April 7, 2017, making it his third album in the past five years, yet this album, thematically, takes on on a whole new world of it’s own. Pure Comedy is reflection of Tillman’s perspective on the current state of the world, and by that extension, the album take on darker tones and almost creates a sense of hopelessness in the listener, surely Tillman intended for this.

From the first track-list, also titled Pure Comedy, to the last track, “In Twenty Years or So”, Tillman presents himself as a modern prophet by taking his earlier ideas from songs, like “Bored In The USA”, and building on the concepts of the sedation of the American people by means of media.

Yet even with the ideological difference Pure Comedy takes on, the music that his fans are familiar with is still there, but what truly makes Pure Comedy special is what it achieves beyond the notes. This album is a prophecy from a man who has had enough and it will be interesting to see if his predictions prove to be correct.

Overall, old fans and new fans will be able to enjoy Pure Comedy as much as they allow themselves to.
