介绍:
Disney Shanghai will have a "Pirates"-themed land
Walt Disney Co. Chairman and Chief Executive Robert Iger have revealed that the forthcoming Shanghai Disney Resort will include an attraction based on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchise. The theme park will have a "Pirates"-themed land called Treasure Cove and a ride called "Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle of the Sunken Treasures.
A computer rendering of Treasure Cove has been unveiled, displaying several structures arrayed around a bay dominated by a pirate clipper ship.
The "Battle of the Sunken Treasure" ride will feature a combination of new technology and innovation to bring guests along a pirate adventure that will include some familiar faces, including Captain Jack Sparrow.
The multibillion-dollar "Pirates" movie series itself is actually the first film franchise based on a pre-existing ride, having been preceded by the pirate ship attraction at the flagship Anaheim Disneyland Resort that opened on this day 47 years ago.
The Shanghai Disney Resort, a nearly $4-billion theme park project that has been in the works for 15 years, is slated to open by December 31, 2015.
"Divergent" premieres in Los Angeles
The much anticipated film "Divergent" has made its premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday, where stars Shailene Woodley, Theo James and Kate Winslet lit up the red carpet.
The film is based on the best-selling young adult trilogy by Veronica Roth and depicts a futuristic dystopia where all of society is divided into different groups based on certain virtues.
Woodley says her experience during the making of the film was fun but was certainly different than what she was used to.
"With a green screen, you're literally being like a child again pretending that like the floor is on fire and there's like hot lava on the floor, you know. You got to completely surrender to your imagination, which is really fun and exciting and also foreign."
Kate Winslet echoed Woodley's sentiments that the film was a new challenge for her. Winslet, who plays a villain for the first time in the film, says "Divergent" is not another teen popcorn franchise piece and calls the story wonderful and very intelligent.
"Divergent" will hit theaters in the U.S. on March 21st. Its release day in China has yet to be announced.
Aaron Kwok to star in upcoming martial arts film, "The Monk"
Hong Kong actor Aaron Kwok has joined Chen Kaige's upcoming martial arts action film, "The Monk," in which Kwok will play a martial arts master.
"The Monk" is set in China in the first half of the 20th century and tells the story of a Taoist priest who returns to society after a life of seclusion in the mountains proved to be lonely and boring. He then embarks upon a quest to master the essence of martial arts.
The film is based on Xu Haofeng's best-selling novel, "Dao Shi Xia Shan."
Wang Baoqiang, Fan Wei and Lin Chiling will also star in the film, which is scheduled to release in the summer of 2015.
"Game of Thrones" Season 4 to premiere April 4th, teasers
TV series "Game of Thrones" fans have only a few weeks more to wait for the fourth season of the show to begin.
Premiering on April 4th, HBO's massively popular and critically acclaimed political fantasy series, based on George R.R. Martin's bestselling books, promises to explore the fallout from the infamous Red Wedding, which concluded the last season and claimed lives of prominent characters. Plenty of teases have been revealed on what to expect in this upcoming season.
Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, speaks about her character being in a very dark place after having lost most of her family and being separated from the rest.
"She's just completely changing and spiraling down a path that I'm not sure the audience is going to be too keen about. She's not this fun-loving Arya that with known before and actually we're going to start to question whether or not what she's doing is actually necessary."
Meanwhile, Arya's sister Sansa, played by Sophie Turner, will also be suffering but finds comfort in her husband. Cruel King Joffrey is finally set to wed Margaery Tyrell and fan-favorite Daenerys, played by Emilia Clarke, continues on her conquest with the aid of her maturing dragons.
More jarring character deaths, an infamous trait of the show, are to be expected. The Season 4 tagline, after all, is "All Men Must Die."
