The American Film Institute has announced its honorees of AFI Awards 2018 this morning, revealing 10 films and 10 television shows as honorees of the 2018 AFI Awards.

AFI Awards celebrate the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image — with 10 films and 10 television programs “deemed culturally and artistically significant” selected by AFI trustees, scholars, artists and critics.

AFI also recognizes Alfonso Cuaron’s latest film “Roma” with an AFI Special Award, given that it falls outside of AFI’s criteria as a foreign-language film.

AFI AWARDS selections are made through a jury process where AFI Trustees, scholars, artists and critics determine the year’s most outstanding achievements and provide contextual rationales for each selection.

The AFI Awards 2018 is set to be presented at an annual private luncheon in Los Angeles on Jan. 4, 2019.

By Creative Media Times

As Netflix’s The Witcher series began filming, a first look at its lead Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia has been released.

The 23 second screen test clip features Cavill in character costume looking serious and intense, sporting long, white hair that is partly pony-tailed on the back, and then eventually sipping from a potion bottle.

The news that Cavill will be playing the lead role of Geralt of Rivia was revealed last September. “The Witcher” is a fantasy series by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

Geralt is the titular Witcher in the short stories, novels and video games which takes place in medieval fantasy setting. He is one of the last witchers, a trained monster slayer for hire to slay deadly monstrous beasts.

Cavill recently played a CIA assassin in this summer’s blockbuster hit Mission: Impossible – Fallout starting Tom Cruise. He also portrayed Superman in WB/DC Comics’, Batman v Superman and Justice League.

“The Witcher” is expected to premiere in 2019 on Netflix.

Sandra Bullock In Thrilling “Bird Box” Trailer

Posted on by

By Armando

Netflix enlists its own Hollywood A-lister for its post-apocalyptic horror film “Bird Box.” Set for release later this year, the film sees Sandra Bullock trying keep her kids out of danger while also blindfolded.

“If you hear something in the woods, you tell me. If you hear something in the water, you tell me. But under no circumstances are you allowed to take off your blindfold,” Bullock’s Malorie tells her children.

Already, many are comparing its premise to the blockbuster hit “A Quiet Place” from earlier this year: the world’s population is being annihilated and a mysterious force is responsible for it. This time, the protagonists have to avoid seeing it to save their lives as they take a harrowing journey to safety.

However, “Bird Box” is in fact based on a 2014 eponymous novel from Josh Malerman (lead singer of The High Strung), the film rights of which was bought by Universal Studios in 2013, back when Andy Muschietti was attached to helm. Muschietti has since directed the colossal boxoffice horror hit “It.”

This should not diminish the potential of “Bird Box”. The film, seemingly taking place across different time periods, looks genuinely thrilling and Bullock is always solid. The comparisons to the John Krasinski-directed film may, in fact, only increase its visibility. No pun.

Also in the film are Sarah Paulson, Rosa Salazar, Danielle Macdonald and John Malkovich. Directed by Susanne Bier. Its also set to make its world-premiere on November 12 at AFI Fest where many films take a dive into awards contention.

“Bird Box” will hit Netflix and select theaters Dec. 21.

By Creative Media Times

“Homecoming is a safe space for you to process your military experience and think about what comes next,” Roberts’ Heidi Bergman says in the trailer.

Amazon Prime Video just dropped the second trailer for psychological thriller tv series “Homecoming” today and it is as intriguingly vague as it is strange, showing Roberts in the midst of a mystery.

This will be the iconic movie star’s first major role on a tv series. Created and directed by Sam Esmail, best known as the creator of the drama thriller “Mr. Robot” tv series, “Homecoming” also stars Bobby Cannavale, Shea Whigham and Stephan James.

Per Amazon’s detailed synopsis, Heidi Bergman is “a caseworker at Homecoming, a Geist Group facility helping soldiers transition to civilian life. Years later she has started a new life, living with her mother and working as a waitress, when a Department of Defense auditor questions why she left the Homecoming facility. Heidi quickly realizes that there’s a whole other story behind the story she’s been telling herself.”

Homecoming is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video, November 2, Friday.

Maroon 5 Set Will Headline 2019 Super Bowl Halftime Show

Posted on by

222 – Interscope

It appears that the list has gotten shorter. Variety and Billboard are both reporting that Maroon 5 is set to perform at 2019 Super Bowl halftime, which is set to take place during the NFL championship game on Feb. 3, 2019 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Given the band’s current hit “Girls Like You”, it is entirely possible that Cardi B will also make an appearance. Also potential guests are their recent collaborators SZA (“What Loves Do”) and Kendrick Lamar (“Don’t Wanna Know”)

In recent years, the band has expressed interest in playing at the halftime show. “I like the fact that we can talk about it, because I think the band would be like thrilled to do it,” Levine said in a 2015 interview with Howard Stern.

The pop rock band from Los Angeles, California consists of seven members (not five as their name suggest) which includes Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, James Valentine, Matt Flynn, PJ Morton and Sam Farrar. They have enjoyed longevity few pop rock bands have achieved during the past few decades. Since their 2002 debut album “Songs About Jane”, they have become one of the world’s best-selling acts, have won a grammy (for best new artist in 2005), and topped the Billboard singles chart three times.

The band’s frontman Levine is set to return as one of the coaches on NBC’s singing competition, The Voice which premieres next week Sept 24.

Maroon 5 is currently on tour, in support of their latest album “Red Pill Blues” which was released on November 3, 2017 by 222 and Interscope Records.

With the fact the Super Bowl itself is usually the most-watched television event every year in the United States, the halftime show have seen major pop acts take the stage including Lady Gaga, Coldplay, and Katy Perry. Last year, Justin Timberlake performed during the Super Bowl LII game’s halftime at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
