Amazon to stream Thursday night NFL games this year

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

Amazon will be streaming Thursday night NFL games this year, beating Facebook, Twitter and YouTube for the streaming rights. Last year, NFL live-streamed 10 Thursday night games on Twitter for free. But this time, you will be needing an Amazon Prime subscribers to watch it, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“We’re focused on bringing our customers what they want to watch, Prime members want the NFL,” Amazon senior vice president Jeff Blackburn told the Wall Street Journal.

Setting Amazon apart is that their service already have many paying subscribers, who also get access to its library of movies and TV shows, many of which are originals. Facebook, Yahoo and Twitter are all free to their users, which means advertising is their primary source of revenue from the NFL live streaming.

According to Business Insider early this year, there are 65 million Prime members worldwide. The deal could potentially help Amazon not only retain that number but also improve on it with gains of new NFL subscribers.

It remains to been how much benefit a digital live stream will benefit NFL and, inversely how NFL will improve Amazon’s streaming platform. So, similar to Twitter last year, the one year deal for NFL’s move to Amazon seems like a good match for both sides to test the waters.

Review: Young Dolph Feat. Gucci Mane ‘That’s how I feel’

Posted on by

By Nicole Patrice

Young Dolph has been very productive this year, releasing his promotional single “That’s how I feel” on March 10th and his second studio album “ Bulletproof” on April 1st.

Dolph’s latest song was a response to the shooting of his SUV on February 25th in Charlotte, North Carolina. The rapper was shot at about 100 times and graciously lived to speak about it. Because of the incident, Dolph is inspired to make innovating tracks and spread the word about his luck.

In the ‘That’s how I feel’ music video, Dolph and Gucci Mane dressed rather casually sitting at a dinner table surrounded by ladies. The video seems to have taken place at a cabin, equipped with champagne, expensive furniture and high class catering. He opened by saying “For a hunnid shots, I heard you paid a hunnid stacks / Hope you got your receipt, go and get yo 100 back.” The verse was allegedly a response to his rivals. Gucci Mane’s verse blended wonderfully, speaking about the good life and living lavish, adding the finishing touches to a great track.

Overall, the song and video was hot; The words was catchy, the beat was crunk and Gucci topped it off. Once the beat comes on, listeners will get hype.

Joss Whedon to Write and Direct New ‘Batgirl’ Movie

Batgirl is one of the most popular superheroes of all time. But even with the surge of superhero movies and extended cinematic universes she never got her own movie. Joss Whedon plans to remedy this. According to Variety , Whedon is “nearing a deal to write, direct and produce” a Batgirl movie as part of DC’s Extended Universe.

Whedon is best known for creating the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as the highly successful The Avengers and 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron movies for Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is also the creator of the highly successful tv series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

As such, this is a big move for Whedon, the studio, and potentially DC’s cinematic universe, which has been on a path of darker superhero adaptations since Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Last year, Whedon explained his search of new challenges after working on Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. for years.

This will mark the the second female-led superhero film from DC after Patty Jenkins’ ‘Wonder Woman’, which opens this summer June 2. There is not a lot of information on the project, nor casting information and production date, but per Variety source will “feature other characters from the world of Gotham.” Long Live Whedon!

By AI Creative Media

Already shaping up as one of our most anticipated movies of the summer, Universal releases another poster and teaser trailer for ‘The Mummy’. And it is creepy.

The artwork features a close-up of Princess Ahmanet’s (Sofia Boutella) double iris and what looks like special characters tattooed on her face. It is a simple yet intriguing one-sheet that conveys the film’s elements of terror and ancient civilization which should delight horror fans. This puts Boutellas’ menacing stare, also seen on the first teaser trailer a few months ago, front and center.

Headlined by Tom Cruise, the movie is a reboot of The Mummy franchise and is intended to be the first installment in Universal Monsters shared universe. The series intends to include Invisible Man (supposedly starring Johnny Depp), The Wolf Man, Van Helsing, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Bride of Frankenstein.

A new extended trailer is expected to debut during the season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’ this Sunday.

Directed by Alex Kurtzman from a script by John Spaihts, the action-adventure horror film also stars Oscar winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Annabelle Wallis (King Arthur), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (The People V. O.J. Simpson).

The film is set to arrive on June 9.

Robert Rodriguez in talks to direct “Escape from New York” remake

Posted on by

By AI Creative Media

A remake to the 1981 dystopian action classic “Escape from New York” has been circulating in Hollywood for almost 10 years, and now it’s finally found a director. Deadline reports today that Robert Rodriguez is set to direct the remake for 20th Century Fox, which picked up the rights to remake the flick two years ago.

The original 1981 John Carpenter film has become a cult classic since its release. It was followed by a sequel in 1996, Escape from L.A., also by director Carpenter. Kurt Russell starred in both films as Snake Plissken, a convicted former Special Forces soldier conscripted to rescue the President, who has been captured by prisoners after Air Force One crashed in Manhattan, which has been turned into a giant maximum-security prison.

The news seems like a vote of confidence for Rodriguez, who just directed Alita: Battle Angel for the same studio. A frequent collaborator of Quentin Tarantino, Rodriguez hasn’t directed a feature since 2014’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, but has been heavily involved his own cable television channel, El Rey since its launch in December 2013.

John Carpenter is also executive producing the reboot, with Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company from a screenplay by Neil Cross, creator of the BBC crime series “Luther.”

What Fans Can Expect From Season Two of WestWorld

Posted on by

By Sukhbir Dhillon

After a gripping first season that even bested the debut season of the Game of Thrones, in terms of ratings, creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s left fans in awe as the show went out with a bang to cap off an incredible first season that left fans wishing for much more. Now as fans wait for the second season, which will premiere in 2018, there is a lot of speculation about which direction the show will go in, who will be back, and where will it be located.

Recently, Nolan stated the show would be leaving the westworld park behind, and instead be moving onto other parks within the show’s universe,“So we said when we started working on the series that we wanted to be ambitious. We wanted each season to increase in that ambition and in the scope of the show.”

Joy also offers input on the future of the show and what kind of themes to expect in season two, “the safety is off,” so for characters like Dolores and other hosts, they won’t be the painfully limited robots that die horrifically each episode. Instead fans can anticipate the hosts to be in the driver’s seat, and that can play out in any number of ways.
