  • Star Wars is Coming to London

    888800XL_3

    The new “Star Wars” will begin shooting in a time not long from now in a galaxy not very far away.

    The J.J. Abrams reboot of the classic space-opera franchise will begin production in London in May, Disney said via the official Star Wars site. The events in the film will continue from approximately 30 years after the last chronological film, “The Return of the Jedi,” which came out three decades ago.

    The production has been looking for up-and-coming actors to take the mantle from Luke Skywalker and Han Solo even as the new film is rumoured to include those familiar faces — namely, Mark Hamill as Luke, Harrison Ford as Han and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. George Lucas has said that producers were in negotiations with all three some time ago. It has also been reported that R2D2 will be returning to the series.

    A host of actors have read for a variety of the new parts, with Adam Driver, Jesse Plemons, Lupita Nyong’o and Michael B. Jordan among the actors who have reportedly been considered by filmmakers.

    The movie is the first of a trilogy that Disney has been planning since it acquired Lucasfilm. "Star Wars: Episode VII" will hit theatres Dec. 18, 2015.

  • Katherine Jenkins and friends go for superhero fancy dress theme in Vegas

    superhero fancy dress superhero fancy dress

    Katherine Jenkins has been spending a lot of time in the US recently to record her new album. It's not all work, work, work though.

    During her latest state side visit, Katherine took some time out of the studio to join her friends at a hen do in Las Vegas. Where Katherine Jenkins dresses up as Tomb Raider and her friends went for superhero fancy dress theme.

    Katherine partied the night away in hotpants, tight-fitting vest top and fake gun strapped to her thigh. International recording star Katherine and her nine friends went to to VIP nightclubs in Sin City.

    Bride-to-be Angela Jay, who works for media giant Global Radio, invited a dozen friends for the special trip.

    The party stayed at The Bellagio an iconic hotel right in the middle of Las Vegas’ strip.

    The girls went to a shooting range in Nevada, a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, and on a shopping spree at the Encore Resort where relaxed Katherine dressed down in a denim jacket.

    This year, she and her girlfriends dressed as Wonderwoman, Cheetra from Thundercats, Catwoman and Batman villain Poison Ivy.

    They then went for drinks at the sophisticated Ghost bar – 55 floors up at the Palms Casino.

    Katherine and her friends later changed into little black dresses before going out on the tiles.

    They followed in the steps of the characters from the Hangover films, posing for photographs at Las Vegas landmarks.

    Katherine and the girls posed for snaps beneath a giant showgirl outside a strip joint.

    They then headed to the MGM grand where they took group shops in front of the silver horse statue and boxing ring.

    But unlike in the Hangover movies their night didn’t end in disaster – instead Katherine helped them skip the queues at the trendy Hakkasan nightclub.

    Katherine posed for photographs in superhero fancy dress with her girl pals and clubbers queued to get their snaps taken with her.

    They also went for sushi at Tao restaurant before heading to the a nightclub and beach bar in the same venue.

    Her friend said: “We had a great time - Katherine is tremendous fun and although she’s a worldwide star she is still one of the girls.

    “Some of us hadn’t seen her for a few years because she is so busy but we all clicked again straight away.”

    Katherine has been living in Los Angeles where she has been attending Oscar parties and working on a new album.

    But she took time out of her busy schedule to catch up with old friends – and the girls enjoyed themselves like any group of hens in Vegas on the trip last weekend.

    Some of the party was pictured jumping in superhero fancy dress before ending their night at a McDonald’s.

  • We Love Spiderman!

    Spiderman is a fictional superhero, brought to us by Marvel Comics. He was created with super strength and agility, the ability to cling to most surfaces and shoot spider-webs. With his ‘spider-sense’, he can react to danger quickly, enabling him to combat his foes and escape sticky situations.

    maguire

    Spiderman first appeared comic books in the early 1960’s, but since the 2002 movie featuring Peter Parker, the series really broke ground. We are able to identify with Toby Maguire’s Peter Parker because we see the man behind the mask and witness the hardships he faces as he learns that “with great power there must also be great responsibility”.

    CR-E116-003_4_1

    Since Spiderman started leaping across our screens, he has become one of the most popular and commercially successful superheroes. He is Marvel’s flagship character and company mascot, so has appeared in many forms in the media. Now that the films have been rebooted as 'The Amazing Spiderman', Andrew Garfield has taken over the role of Spiderman, which has brought a whole new angle to his story.

    Staff and students at Lincoln Castle Academy School celebrated a world book day devoted to literature with fancy dress. Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee, Where’s Wally and Alice in Wonderland were all attending school to take part in World Book Day.

    In addition to dressing up as their favourite world book day character, students in Years 7, 8 and 9 were inspired by local author Georgia Twynham and learnt about how she started writing novels for teens. Students also swapped books in a grand swapping session, took part in a lonely hearts book activity, made bookmarks, heard more stories and collected £1 book tokens. Staff got dressed up, with the maths department morphing into superheroes while the English department were characters from Shakespeare or John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.

  • The Batsuit From Batman Movie

    It’s nearly time for the ‘Batman vs. Superman’ movie to begin filming, which means soon, the new costumes will be revealed. But what should we expect of Batman’s new suit? Will it be an upgrade from the previous movies or reminiscent to the DC’s comic books?

    The costume designer Michael Wilkinson explains that there is ‘logic’ behind Ben Affleck’s new Batman suit:

    “Zack Snyder has such a great vision for this film, the cinematic universe that we're creating together with the production designer and the cinematographer. It has a logic to it. It's very tight. It's a very gritty, real, contemporary world. That's what I had in the back of my mind when I tried to think of a Batman that works for that universe."

    Until the Big Reveal, we will have to make the most of the Batsuit we already have…
