Music From The Netflix Series “Heartstopper” Released

Posted on April 23, 2022 by admin

Netflix’s latest queer coming-of-age rom-com, “Heartstopper”, released on April 22, 2022, is earning plenty of praise. Adapted from a graphic novel by Alice Oseman, the British series follows a teenage romance between two students at a grammar school, Nick, played by Rocketman young-actor Kit Connor and Charlie, played by Joe Locke.

“It’s very strange! I guess it’s been quite a gradual journey, from self-publishing the book in 2016, to having it published traditionally a couple of years later, and now the Netflix show – it’s just been so fun and exciting!,” Oseman on a recent interview with Buzzfeed.

Adding another layer to the 8 episode series is the catchy music that plays along with Nick and Charlie’s romance as well as the storylines involving their circle of friends Tao, Elle, Isaac, Tara and Darcy.

Coinciding with the release of the series is the soundtrack, which was released digitally on Spotify. “Colours of You“, the official single from British artist Baby Queen, was released by Polydor Records.

Baby Queen has a recorded multiple tracks for the soundtrack, including “Dover Beach,” and “Want Me”, both of which played on the series’ first episode, “Meet.”

Other popular songs that has ben featured in the series so far include “Girls” by Girl in Red and “Tired” by Beabadoobee.

Jason Momoa To Star In Live-Action Minecraft

Posted on April 23, 2022 by admin

The long-planned film version of Mojang Studio’s Minecraft is reportedly still happening, with a new actor attached and director, according to Report.

The “Aquaman” actor, Jason Momoa, is said to be “in final negotiations” to join the live-action movie based on the hugely popular video game, Minecraft. With more than 238 million copies sold, it is the best-selling game of all time. Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess will be directing, according to the report, with Dune’s Mary Parent and Roy Lee producing.

The film’s planned production has nearly decade-long history, with various directors attached, including Shawn Levy directing from Jason Fuch’s script. Levy later left the project and was replaced by “Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney, who also departed the film as progress in the production slowed down.

In 2019, Mojang Studios released the storyline:
“The malevolent Ender Dragon sets out on a path of destruction, prompting a young girl and her group of unlikely adventurers to set out to save the Overworld.”

“End Of The Line” Documentary Set For June 14 Release

Posted on April 22, 2022 by admin

The character-driven documentary about the New York City subway crisis is set for release in digital and cable on demand platforms in the United States on Tuesday, June 14.

The film is from award-winning filmmaker Emmett Adler, who directed, edited and produced the film. It is also an official selection for thee DC NYC. Adler also produced the film, along with Ian Mayer and co-Producer Mariah Wilson.

Gravitas Ventures has set the release of the documentary on June 14, 2022.

Here’s the official synopsis for “End Of The Line:

Establishing the vital economic importance and grandeur of New York City’s historic subway system, the film dives into its dire modern-day troubles picking up in the late 2010s when flooding, overcrowding, power failures, and derailments have become commonplace. After a particularly bad spate of disasters in the summer of 2017, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo proclaims a state of emergency and hires a new international wunderkind executive named Andy Byford to save the subways. Byford, an earnest Briton with an impressive resume, enters as a charismatic would-be hero. As the political turmoil behind the subway’s decline comes into sharp focus, scenes in barbershops, bodegas, and bakeries show the frustration and devastation among business owners and residents who are caught in the middle.

Ultimately, the COVID-19 pandemic furthers this, and brings to light America’s need to shore up its infrastructure in cities across the country and the inequality struggles that are central to this debate. A heartfelt and scrupulous exploration, this film poses the question: what happens when the lifeline of a city goes flat?

Gardener Recordings Releases “Russian Doll” By Joe Wong

Posted on April 19, 2022 by admin

Gardener Recordings has announced the upcoming release of Russian Doll: Seasons 1 & 2 (Music From The Netflix Original Series) by Joe Wong. The recordings is set to be available April 20th on all major digital platforms, coinciding with the Season Two launch on Netflix.

“In many ways, we think of ‘Russian Doll’ as a musical, with the score serving to bridge and guide us through the rollercoaster of Nadia’s puzzle box adventure,” notes Natasha Lyonne, the show’s co-creator.

Composed by Joe Wong – who has worked on some of Netflix’s biggest hits including Master Of None and the To All the Boys…franchise, and their critically lauded The Midnight Gospel, the album consists of his dream-like original score with highlights from the breakout first season and the highly anticipated second season.

The first season of Russian Doll follows a woman named Nadia who is caught in a time loop as the guest of honor at a seemingly inescapable party one night in New York City. She dies repeatedly, always restarting at the same moment at the party, as she tries to figure out what is happening to her. Season Two is set four years after Nadia and Alan saved each other and escaped the time loop in Season One — but now they’re stuck in a new kind of loop. This season, Nadia and Alan discover an unexpected time portal that sends them both on an era-spanning adventure through the past. The two must search for a way out of the loop together.

Video Project And Rangeland Productions Bring Climate Change Front And Center With “12th Hour”

Posted on April 18, 2022 by admin

California-based distributor Video Project has announced worldwide rights and a Spring release for the award-winning documentary 12TH HOUR. Emmy nominee David Morse (“The Chair,” “Blindspot”) narrates the brutally honest climate change documentary, directed by Susan Kucera (Hot Money).

Narrated by David Morse, the doc bridges the gap between how our brains evolved to solve problems and what the human race needs to survive climate change.

This announcement is timed perfectly for Earth Day (which is this Friday, April 22) — The socially conscious film distributor has launched a 500-school outreach program wherein any school can receive 38-page study guide and screen the film for free. John Zavalney, Los Angeles Unified School District’s Science and Environmental Educator (retired) will be available to facilitate screening events in Los Angeles area classrooms.

12th Hour will also be available on April 26 on Kanopy, the on-demand educational streaming video platform for public libraries and universities.

Climate affects nearly every aspect of our lives; from our food sources to transport infrastructure, to shelter and clothing. It is representative of our livelihoods, our health, and our future. In recent years, however, science has proven that warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the balance of nature which poses great risks to humanity and all other forms of life worldwide. With insight from noted evolutionary biologists, climate scientists, cognitive researchers, and psychologists, 12th Hour explores how human traits evolved to solve short-term challenges for our immediate survival and how we might bridge the gap between short and long-term planning.
