Adam West as Batman. ABC Television


Adam West, iconic actor who starred in the popular “Batman” TV show in the 1960s, died Friday night Jun 9 in Los Angeles. He was 88. According to Variety, the actor “died after a short battle with leukemia.”

“Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He was and always will be our hero,” his family said in a statement.

Although West’s career spanned seven decades, it was the Batman role that made him a household name, a role that is both a blessing and a curse as he fell victim to being typecast long after the show ended. The campy superhero show ran from 1966 to 1968 on BC, while a feature-length film version was released in 1966.

He would later often reprise his Batman or Bruce Wayne role in various animated tv shows such as The New Adventures of Batman, Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show, The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians and for the tv special Legends of the Superheroes.

In 2012, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located in front of the Guinness Museum in Hollywood, California.

West is survived by his wife of 46 years Marcelle Lear. They had four children together, two from previous marriage to Ngahra Frisbie.

His family released the following statement: Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight, and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives. He will be missed.

Warner Bros.


‘Edge of Tomorrow” was a modest hit in 2014. From its $178 million production budget, the film ended its theatrical run with $100 million domestically, though faring slightly better internationally with $270 million. So its only fitting that the sequel will focus on what made the movie great: the characters and the story. This is precisely what director Doug Liman envision on the follow-up, which will bring back original cast Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt into the time-loop sci-fi.

In an interview with MTV HSC Podcast, the director revealed that the ‘Tomorrow’ sequel will go against expectations and will be smaller production.

“I think what people tend to do with sequels is they just make them bigger. And I’m like, ‘No, a sequel should be smaller.’ You did the first film as sort of the ad campaign for the sequel, so now you don’t need as much action, and in the case of Edge of Tomorrow, people obviously loved the comedy and they loved the situation. So we can do way more focus on Tom’s character and Emily Blunt’s character, and there’s a third character in the sequel that’s gonna for sure steal the movie. We can focus on that. I don’t need an action sequence every two minutes.”

If you’re an M. Night Shyamalan fan, you’re probably one of those whose brain exploded after that shock ending in ‘Split’ while realizing that the rest of the audience wondered what the hell was going on.

For 17 years, fans of M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Unbreakable’ have been asking for a sequel but saw that possibility disappear over the years. Well, after the release of ‘Split’ last January, that question was finally answered, somewhat unofficially in latter film’s final minutes, but now officially on Twitter yesterday by Shyamalan himself.

“It’s taken 17 years but I can finally answer the #1 question I get, ‘Are you making a f#&@ing sequel to Unbreakable or what?’ ” he tweeted. “My new film is the sequel to #Unbreakable AND #Split. It was always my dream to have both films collide in this third film.” A couple of hours earlier, Universal Pictures announced the title and dated the film’s release: “Universal Pictures will release #Glass on January 18, 2019 all over the world. How’s that for not keeping a secret!”

Fans will remember that Mr. Glass is the criminal alias of Samuel L. Jackson’s character in Unbreakable, Elijah Price. In that movie, Price has an abnormally fragile bones and is in search of his opposite extreme, one that is “unbreakable”.

Then in the final scene in ‘Split’, that character, Bruce Willis‘ David Dunn shows up in a restaurant, watching the TV. In that scene, as everyday folks were reminded of another criminal character back in the day, David uttered “they called him Mr. Glass.”

Well, there you go. Just like that, Shyamalan has created his very own shared cinematic universe!

John Stephen Dwyer

The great auteur who gave us ‘Silence of the Lambs’ and ‘Philadelphia’ died this morning in New York. He was 73. The Oscar-winning director died of cancer complications.

Demme rose to prominence with a wide range of genres such as the comedies Melvin and Howard (1980) and Married to the Mob (1988), the concert film featuring Talking Heads’ live performance Stop Making Sense (1984) which is hailed as one of the greatest rock movies ever, and the drama Philadelphia (1993) which won star Tom Hanks his first Best Actor Oscar.

But Demme is probably best known for directing “Silence of the Lambs,” the 1991 horror-thriller which swept the Academy Awards, winning the 5 major awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Anthony Hopkins, Best Actress for Jodie Foster and Best Adapted Screenplay for Ted Tally.

As such, this makes ‘Lambs’ only the third film in history to accomplish such a feat, and the first and only horror film to win Best Picture.

Demme is survived by his wife Joanne Howard, and their three children.
