Batgirl Rises in the First Look at Her HBO Max Movie

Between The Batman, The Flash, and the Aquaman sequel, Warner Bros. has been a little coyer about its Batgirl movie, which makes sense as it’s not due until late 2022. But thanks to the DC Fandome event, WB gave us a tiny, tiny glimpse of Barbara’s new movie, and we’re absolutely down to see this Batgirl kick supervillain ass, even if it’s on the small screen.

Since the movie hasn’t started production yes, all we got were talking heads of star Leslie Grace, writer Christina Hodson—who also wrote The Flash and Birds of Prey films—and directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah talking the film up. It was mostly general excitement, but Hodson teased that this Batgirl won’t be quite as “law-abiding” as her incarnations, while the directors promised Batgirl would be wearing a cowl, as if that was somehow up for debate. Then Leslie confirmed her Barbara Gordon will also have red hair.

However, from previous interviews, we know the movie is said to be inspired by the wonderful “Batgirl of Burnside” story arc, co-written by Brendon Fletcher and Cameron Stewart, with fabulous art by Babs Tarr. It’s unclear what other inspirations the movie might take from those issues, but we say the more the merrier. Check out a piece of concept art from the film revealed during the event above.

Batgirl seems like it’s going to take place in the DC Extended Universe formerly headed up by Zack Snyder, given that J.K. Simmons will be playing Barbara’s father Commissioner Jim Gordon, as he did in Justice League and Batman v Superman. Westworld and What If actor Jeffrey Wright plays Gordon in Matt Reeves’ The Batman—and is on his way to his own Gotham TV series—but as far as we know, that film doesn’t connect to the larger film universe. Unless The Flash’s multiverse storyline decides to connect them. Speaking of which, in a recent interview, the two directors confirmed that Batman will be making an appearance in Batgirl and that it would really be him…which version is the question. It could mean Ben Affleck, who’s already reprising the role in the upcoming Flash movie, but seems to have less than no interest in the Dark Knight beyond that. It could be The Batman’s Robert Pattinson if Warner Bros. considers him the new “official” Batman. But given that the Flash movie is clearly going to be messing with timelines, hell, it could even be Michael Keaton if the directors mean “real” in the sense of “personal favorite.” George Clooney, however, certainly wasn’t asked back.

Batgirl is currently set to premiere on HBO Max sometime next year. Hopefully, we’ll be getting even more information soon.

The Flash Movie Teases Our Entry Into the DC Multiverse

Barry Allen, the fastest fan of hot dogs alive, is about to race head-first into the most important question of DC’s upcoming movie multiverse: just how many Bat-Dads does one person need?

Dropping in at DC Fandome today, Ezra Miller (he never did speak about that incident by the way) offered a glimpse of what to expect from the long-in-the-making standalone Flash movie. The live-action film will crack open the DC multiverse so the publisher can loosely connect all of its films and TV projects without necessarily having to be beholden to single set versions of its characters—a move arguably nudged in The Flash TV show’s sneaky Miller cameo in Crisis on Infinite Earths. Barry’s desire for mentorship, as he comes to understand his power and his role in the Justice League, sees him turn to Batman (Ben Affleck) for help. And also… Batman (returning icon Michael Keaton). Because why have one Dark Knight? Or even one Barry Allen?

While we’ve long known that the movie was set to bring together two iconic cinematic Batmen together, Miller and the rest of the crew are staying quiet on just what other multiversal shenanigans we can expect, but there have been rumors of visits to the classic Batcave (and Keaton’s old Batmobile), and of course, the arrival of Sasha Calle as Kara Zor-El, Supergirl, before her own adventures in the DC multiverse. A lot of set up is resting on Barry’s shoulders, as is a slick new suit first teased earlier this year.

The Flash, written by Batgirl and Birds of Prey’s Christina Hodson, also stars Ron Livingston as Barry’s father, Henry Allen (replacing Justice League’s Billy Crudup), Zack Snyder’s Justice League’s Kiersey Clemons as Iris West, Maribel Verdú as Nora Allen, and Rudy Mancuso in an undisclosed role. It’s currently set to hit theaters on November 4, 2022.

Russian crew wraps trailblazing movie in space, safely returns to Earth

Updated 12:03 PM ET, Sun October 17, 2021

Maggie Q leaps into the spotlight: The action veteran finally gets her due as a movie star in ‘The Protege’

The Protégé” required Maggie Q’s fleeing assassin to leap off a four-story balcony, holding a wall-secured fire hose to sail safely to the floor (while firing a handgun, of course). 

Even with a ceiling-secured safety wire, most Hollywood stars would wisely give the moment to their stunt double.

But in her first lead action film role, Maggie Q, the 42-year-old former star of CW’s 2010-2013 spy series “Nikita,” sought to make a statement – not only could she hold her own with co-stars Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton, but she could also kick legit action star butt. 

Even if that meant jumping over the rail four stories in the air for two nights.

“We specifically designed the stunt with the cameras following me in the fall to make sure our audience saw, it’s me,” says Maggie Q proudly, speaking on a Zoom call. “So there’s no dispute. Which is awesome.”

Michael Keaton:Reveals he hasn’t seen ‘an entire’ comic book movie since 1989’s ‘Batman’

Awesome, for sure. It’s the type of gritty showcase that made a fervent believer out of director Martin Campbell (of Bond “Casino Royale” fame). When casting the film, Campbell was immediately wowed by the actress’s drama reel, but had a big question: “Who the (bleep) is that?”

“Martin doesn’t mince words,” says Maggie Q, who found out about her director’s question long afterwards. “I’m told the f-bomb was involved there. Which I think is hysterical.”

Campbell readily admits, “I had really never heard of Maggie before I cast her, that’s the amazing thing. I was impressed by the acting. I then said, ‘We’ve got to have Maggie Q, that’s the end of it.'”

Increasingly, others have had the same insistence for the multi-talented actress who can seemingly tackle any genre. On TV, Maggie Q has built a zealous fan base after starring in “Designated Survivor,” “Young Justice,” “Stalker” (alongside one-time fiancé Dylan McDermott) and playing the title assassin in three seasons of “Nikita.” In film, she’s starred alongside Tom Cruise in 2006’s “Mission: Impossible III,” and has appeared in 2007’s “Live Free Or Die Hard” and in all three “Divergent” films.

Explained: How the RSS elects its top executive

The ABPS

The ABPS is the highest decision-making body of the RSS. The bulk of its 1,500 members are all-India representatives of active swayamsevaks.

There is no election for the post of Sarsanghchalak (RSS chief) as the outgoing chief appoints his successor, who holds the position for life or until he desires. But the Sar-karyawah is elected by the ABPS in Nagpur, once every three years — the duration of his tenure.

The ABPS meets for three days in the second or third week of March, usually concluding its meeting on the second or third Sunday of the month. This year, it is just for two days starting Friday.

The annual meeting is held at various venues around the country, but once every three years, it is held in Nagpur where the ABPS elects the Sar-karyawah — until exceptional circumstances led to the change of venue this year. Last year’s annual meeting too was scheduled in Bengaluru but was called off due to the Covid-19 outbreak —after several delegates had already reached the venue.

The election process

The election is usually on the second day of the three-day meeting; it will be on the second day of this year’s two day meeting. Normally, the incumbent Sar-karyawah informs delegates about the work done during his tenure, and announces that since his term has ended, a new Sar-karyawah must be elected. An election officer is then appointed from among the senior functionaries. A senior functionary proposes a name for the new Sar-karyawah. This name is generally accepted, and the Sar-karyawah is declared elected. After he is elected, the new Sar-karyawah announces his team.

The present system of holding the Sar-karyawah election was adopted in the early fifties. Elections were not held during the Emergency (1975-77), and in 1993 when the RSS was banned after the demolition of the Babri Masjid.

Incumbent contenders

The executive head of the RSS has full control over the organisation’s every activity. The current Sar-karyawah, Suresh Bhaiyaji Joshi, completes his fourth three-year term this year. The late H V Sheshadri is the only other one to have been Sar-karyawah for four consecutive terms (from 1987 to 2000).

The normal practice is for the new Sar-karyawah to be chosen from among the incumbent’s deputies, or Sah-sar-karyawahs. Bhaiyyaji Joshi’s sah-sar-karyawahs are Dattatreya Hosabale, Suresh Soni, Dr Krishna Gopal, Manmohan Vaidya, B Bhagaiah and C R Mukunda.

There have been exceptions when the Sar-karyawah has not been from among the Sah-sar-karyawahs. When Joshi, for example, was elected Sar-karyawah in 2009, he was Akhil Bhartiya Sewa Pramukh of the RSS, not Sah-sar-karwayah. Even Joshi is eligible for re-election. But he is 74, and a point being discussed is that whoever is elected this year should also continue into the next tenure, with the RSS centenary year coming up in 2025.

The women in this James Bond installment are for real

(CNN)Like many Bond outings before it, “No Time To Die” promised its audience something new.

          No longer a “relic of the Cold War” — as Dench’s M characterized Pierce Brosnan’s Bond in 1995’s “GoldenEye” — Craig’s Bond inhabited his own Marvel-cum-DC-like universe of villains. There’s banker/terrorist Le Chiffre (“Casino Royale”), sadistic ex-agent Raoul Silva (“Skyfall”), surveillance obsessive Max Denbigh (“Spectre”), and Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Bond’s foster brother and the leader of Spectre, the modern, all-purpose, evil organization all of the above reveal their allegiance to. Craig’s Bond looked inward, embracing a Batman (or Iron Man)-like orphan’s origin story in “Skyfall” with the help of his childhood gamekeeper Kincade, essentially Albert the butler in more rough-and-ready attire, defending Skyfall (Bond’s own Wayne Manor). He was self-referential from the moment he emerged from the sea in “Casino Royale,” his pale swimming trucks dripping like Ursula Andress’ Honey Ryder in “Dr. No.” ‘);$vidEndSlate.removeClass(‘video__end-slate–inactive’).addClass(‘video__end-slate–active’);}};CNN.autoPlayVideoExist = (CNN.autoPlayVideoExist === true) ? true : false;var configObj = {thumb: ‘none’,video: ‘media/2021/10/08/james-bond-women-movie-portrayal-jane-seymour-macfarlane-pkg-hgt-intl-vpx.cnn’,width: ‘100%’,height: ‘100%’,section: ‘domestic’,profile: ‘expansion’,network: ‘cnn’,markupId: ‘body-text_18’,theoplayer: {allowNativeFullscreen: true},adsection: ‘const-article-inpage’,frameWidth: ‘100%’,frameHeight: ‘100%’,posterImageOverride: {“mini”:{“width”:220,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-small-169.jpg”,”height”:124},”xsmall”:{“width”:300,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-medium-plus-169.jpg”,”height”:173},”small”:{“width”:460,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-large-169.jpg”,”height”:259},”medium”:{“width”:780,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-exlarge-169.jpg”,”height”:438},”large”:{“width”:1100,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-super-169.jpg”,”height”:619},”full16x9″:{“width”:1600,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-full-169.jpg”,”height”:900},”mini1x1″:{“width”:100,”type”:”jpg”,”uri”:”//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/211008154311-bond-women-jane-seymour-ana-de-armas-split-small-11.jpg”,”height”:100}}},autoStartVideo = false,isVideoReplayClicked = false,callbackObj,containerEl,currentVideoCollection = [],currentVideoCollectionId = ”,isLivePlayer = false,mediaMetadataCallbacks,mobilePinnedView = null,moveToNextTimeout,mutePlayerEnabled = false,nextVideoId = ”,nextVideoUrl = ”,turnOnFlashMessaging = false,videoPinner,videoEndSlateImpl;if (CNN.autoPlayVideoExist === false) {autoStartVideo = false;autoStartVideo = typeof CNN.isLoggedInVideoCheck === ‘function’ ?

Scot Who Became Addict At 17 After Being Prescribed Methadone Lands Movie Role – Todayuknews

Two recovering drug addicts are set to star in a movie after turning their lives around.

Michelle Whiteford and Dawn Blades have landed roles in Dark Devices.

The feature-length film is about a 12-year-old girl who is groomed on social media while enduring problems in her home life.

Michelle and Dawn will star alongside a large cast in scenes shot in Wester Hailes and the Calders next summer.

With an aim for the flick to be used as an educational tool, it explored themes such as addiction, bullying and mental health issues.

Edinburgh Live reports that the whole movie will be shot in areas across the capital.

Both Michelle and Dawn will have speaking parts, although their exact roles within the story are currently something of a secret.

Michelle has herself been clean for two years after around 25-years battling substance addiction.

The 45-year-old from Niddrie, who was a teenager when she starting taking methadone, said this is the ‘best she’s ever felt’.

She said her battle with addiction started when she was just 17 and she was prescribed methadone as a painkiller as she was allergic to hydrocodone.

She said: “If I knew then what I know now about methadone I wouldn’t have been taking it.”

Michelle struggled with substance abuse for decades but was inspired to turn things around when her baby niece was born.

She added: “At that point I knew I had to get my act together.

“I had to break away from a lot of friendships, some of those friends didn’t have good intentions.

“I now have my circle of true friends I know I can trust.

“I feel great now.

“I would say this is the best I’ve ever felt.

“I have support groups I’m part of and they are both day-time and night-time which is important for me.

“I’ve been able to share my experiences with people who are going in the same direction as I am.

“We’re all on different paths but we’re going in the same direction.”

Michelle was made aware of a social media post urging local people who wish to be in Dark Devices to come forward.

She said: “It’s all so exciting.

“I know I have a speaking role but I don’t know exactly who I’ll be yet.

“I know the story is about a girl who gets groomed over the internet, and she has an alcoholic mother.

“There are themes of addiction and recovery, and it’s about trying to raise awareness about these issues to as many people as possible.

“It’s great to be part of.

“Things seem to be happening for me right now.

“I feel so proud of what I have achieved.”

Dawn has been in recovery for 25 weeks after the best part of two decades hooked on heroin and methadone.

The 47-year-old, who lives in the Calders, has three sons – aged 25, 23 and 21.

She said: “I had been on methadone for such a long time – 18 years on and off it before coming into recovery.

“For about three years I was taking heroin.

“I just felt horrible for my kids, totally ashamed, and that’s why I wanted to change.

“I was fed up with it and I had to cut a lot of ties with people that I knew, as that’s really what you have to do.”

Dawn is originally from Doncaster but has been living in Edinburgh for the past decade.

She added: “It might sound strange but I’m really proud now.

“Really proud of how far I’ve come.

“I feel great and the support groups I’ve been in have really helped me.

“When I first came into recovery it was through Paul Boggie’s group, and I’m in William Anderson’s group.”

She said: “It was actually William who made me aware the filmmakers were looking for local people to be in the movie, and from there it all happened.”

Dawn is fresh from raising £65 for charity Sands having taken part in the Walk 100k in June event.

Opinion | The Taliban says it will respect women. But we Iranians have seen this movie before.

In December 1978, before his return from exile, Khomeini said: “Women can choose any kind of attire they like so long as it covers them properly and they have hijab.” A few weeks later, on Jan. 23, 1979, he declared: “We will give women every kind of freedom, but we will prevent moral corruption and, where this is concerned, there is no difference between men and women.” Aside from mollifying Western observers, Khomeini was probably trying to reassure his liberal allies in the revolution against the shah, which included a vast number of active and vocal women.

Ready for a summer adventure? It’s time to watch Luca on Disney Plus, which is streaming now. The new Pixar movie is all about growing up, exploring the world and making deep friendships. And as with most Pixar films, expect a heartwarming story and some tears to flow.

The animated movie is set on the Italian Riviera, where a 13-year-old sea creature named Luca (Jacob Tremblay) lives off the coast. He can take human form on land, though his protective have forbidden him to visit because the locals have labeled his kind as monsters.  Luca can’t contain his curiosity, though, and after encouragement from new friend Alberto, the two boys head off on an adventure through the town of Portorosso.
