Zhang Yimou's "Coming Home" May Compete in Cannes
Chinese director Zhang Yimou's new film "Coming Home" will reportedly compete at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The news has yet to be officially confirmed by the festival organizers.
"Coming Home" is Zhang's first production since he began his cooperation with LeTV Media and Technology, which owns an online video portal.
The new film is based on Yan Geling's novel, "The Criminal Lu Yanshi" and tells the story of an old man's emotional return to his family after decades of separation.
"Man of Steel" Sequel Has Surprising Cast
The untitled sequel to "Man of Steel," which will combine the Superman and Batman universes, has stirred up considerable controversy in the superhero fandoms.
Director Zack Snyder has made a series of surprising casting choices that leaves some fans skeptical. First, it was revealed that Ben Affleck will step into the shoes of Batman opposite Henry Cavill's Superman in the much-anticipated superhero sequel.
Then, came the announcement that Israeli actress Gal Gadot, best known for her work in the "Fast & Furious" films, will play Wonder Woman, and the uproar started anew. Just last month, it was confirmed that the boyish "Social Network" star Jesse Eisenberg will claim the part of Superman's traditionally burly, bald and middle-aged arch nemesis Lex Luthor.
Snyder has admitted that he keeps tabs on the reactions of fans. He says that casting choices were made according to what happens in the script, which fans are not privy to yet. The director says the mixed reactions have been reassuring and frustrating at the same time. Snyder and his team will begin shooting in about a month while fans anxiously await the Superman/Batman combo film.
US First Lady Michelle Obama Will Guest Star on Parks and Recreation
United States First Lady Michelle Obama is set to appear on television comedy Parks and Recreation. Mrs. Obama's cameo, in an episode titled "Moving Up," will center on her campaign against child obesity.
The show's star, Amy Poehler, joined Mrs. Obama's campaign earlier this month when she appeared at a Let's Move event in Miami.
Mrs. Obama is not the first guest star from Washington to have visited Parks and Rec. US Vice President Joe Biden made a cameo in 2012 and Senator John McCain guest starred as well.
Executive producer Michael Schur says he is still hoping to convince Hillary Clinton to make an appearance.
Jay-Z Joins Beyonce Onstage in London
Beyonce was joined on stage by husband Jay-Z as she took her Mrs. Carter world tour to London for the second time. The couple shared a duet, performing "Drunk In Love," and ended the song with a lingering hug. Jay-Z then left Beyonce to finish the remainder of her two-hour set solo.
The Mrs. Carter Show was last year's second highest-earning tour, behind Bon Jovi, earning just over $188 million.
It first went to the UK in April 2013 and was supposed to promote a new album. However, the record remained unfinished until December, when it was finally released, without warning, on iTunes.
The stealthily released record sold almost a million copies in 24 hours and earned the pop star the best reviews of her career. The set list that Beyonce performed in London is full of raunchy sequences featuring the album's most explicit tracks but also pushes strong feminist values.
