Disney unveils preview of Star Wars Land at D23 Expo 2017

Disney Land is known to millions around the world. It is the place where many youngsters get motivated to chase their dreams. To make things even more glamorous, Disney has revealed the Star Wars Land model at D23 Expo 2017.

The revelation was followed by widely opened mouths of disbelieve from the spectators and lovers of Walt Disney, as it is a conspicuous representation of what is about to come next. The Star Wars Land Model is expected to be on display in Walt Disney Parks and Resort, for as long as the lovers of Disney Land want it.

How Enormous Will the Star Wars Lands be?

It is amazing that the Star Wars Land is very wide and extensive, as far as size is concerned. It covers approximately 14 acres of land. This has been represented in an approximately 50 feet wide 3D model, which is adequate enough for fans to visualize how the park will look like in real life.

Many analysts believe that this will be a success story for the company. Despite that it is being exclusively built in California and Florida, an influx of visitors from all over the world are expected after completion in 2019.

There is Confidence among Owners and Stakeholders of Walt Disney Lands

In their blog post, Disney clarified that the Stars Wars Land will allow guests to be taken aback after their visit to an imaginary world – a planet they have never seen before.

Furthermore, guests will have to pass through a remote trading port and one of the last stops before Wild Space. The Star Wars Land’s models will be accessible to the public at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, California, every weekend.

Owners and shareholders of Walt Disney have expressed their confidence in what is expected to come later in 2019. “This is the most ambitious land we’ve built to date,” said Bob Chapek, who is also the Chairman of Disney Parks. “There is a lot of expectation in the air.” he further remarked.

Nelsan Ellis’ Family Opens Up Revealing Circumstances Surrounding The Actor’s Death

The death of Nelsan Ellis due to heart failure robbed the movie industry of one of its finest talents. The actor will be greatly missed for being gentle, generous and above all a kind soul. The top medical practitioners pointed to the alcohol withdrawal complications as one of the causes.

Ellis starred in HBO’s True Blood as Lafayette Reynolds. His character was depicted as someone that was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse for a large chunk of his life. It was indeed sad that the actor’s death wasn’t far from such a battle.

Emily Gerson Saines, who used to be the manager of the renowned actor, is much trusted by his family. Ellis’ family has settled on Emily to disclose matters surrounding the death of the actor. From the family’s revelations, Ellis died on Saturday, with the cited cause being heart failure.

It was a death that sparked great emotion among fellow actors, his huge fan base and above all the family members who loved him very much. He died at a very tender age and the industry lost a top talent that it hadn’t yet reached its full potential, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The family, as a matter of fact, has got no ill-intentions to tarnish the good name of the late top actor. However, it wishes to extend its hand to all the people that are going through similar struggles.

It is the reason they chose to reveal the circumstances surrounding the death of the celebrity. After struggling for quite a long period of time with alcohol, the family had taken Nelsan to a rehab center. His withdrawal from alcohol poised more complications, such as blood infection, a swollen liver and kidney shut down.

HBO did not hesitate to comment on the actor’s death. In a statement, it outlined, “We were extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Nelsan Ellis. Nelsan was a longtime member of the HBO family whose groundbreaking portrayal of Lafayette will be remembered fondly within the overall legacy of True Blood. Nelsan will be dearly missed by his fans and all of us at HBO.“

Producers speak out regarding the Twist Behind Zendaya’s Character

If you have taken time to watch Spider-Man: Homecoming, you will quite agree that this is probably one of the best productions in the movie industry. The twists in events lead to the movie ending in quite a surprising note.

The academic decathlon team of Peter Parker is depicted making preparations to move into the next year and it asks Michelle to lead it. The observant girl is willing to give in to the demand, but she cites a condition. Her news friends have to first of all get used to referring to her as ‘MJ’, which makes fans go wild.

Some people may wonder why the name ‘MJ’ in particular. It shouldn’t elude anyone’s understanding that MJ is indeed the other name for the greatest love interests of Spider-Man. In as much as Michelle may be no Mary Jane, the fans following the unfolding are left asking themselves a lot of questions. They are left guessing whether or not Zendaya’s character will become the future wife of Peter Parker.

Some of the top producers of the film according to Comicbook have given their word in line with this. They have taken the strong stand that Michelle won’t necessarily align to the same path Mary Jane is usually known to move in the comics.

Kevin Feige and Sony’s Amy Pascal happened to be the first ones to make their comments in relation to the role of the actress. A number of top news reporters went after the president of Marvel Studios to get his word in relation to the matter. He commented saying that the ‘twist’ was drafted to become more of homage.

While clearing the air around the matter, Pascal said, “We never even looked at it as a big reveal necessarily but more of just a fun homage to his past adventures and his past love. She was always this new high school character, Michelle, who we know there’s an “M” in Michelle and an “M” in Mary.” He acknowledged that there were big reveals in the movie, but this one wasn’t one of them. They simply thought of it as a clever move to nickname her MJ.

But the film house with not be too sad either as the numbers are not too far away from that projection.

A Recap Of “The Doctor Falls” –A Simple Outlook

At its early stages, “The Doctor Falls” depicts the doctor giving a lengthy theory. Any viewer at that point expects the master to speak up either in support of the theory or to dismiss it. Contrary to the expectations of the audience, he doesn’t dismiss or approve the theory.

It doesn’t matter where the theory came from because a method was brought forth to explain every single madness. However, after several scenes unfold, the Master opens up to Missy saying that he blew his dematerialization circuit .That was after the arrival on the ship and from that point he has been stranded.

The question that comes to the mind of anyone following the production keenly is why the Master is on the space ship anyway. It would also interest someone else to question why he had to be in disguise. But it is important to outline that the uncertainty keeps the viewer glued to the screen to see the rest of the scenes.

Previews might have misguided anyone in regards to the unfolding of the real episodes. One would have hoped for a raucous affair involving numerous battles and explosions. “The Doctor Falls” goes contrary to expectations by placing intimacy and character front and center, quite rarely giving room for battles to dominate.

According to Imdb, Moffat, the man behind the production, recently spoke to news reporters saying, “We don’t have the money for that anyway and thank goodness for that because nobody tunes in to Doctor Who for the fight scenes. High among the things we do tune in for are tears, and ‘The Doctor Falls’ is loaded with them on both sides of the screen. ”One is treated to a lot of surprises which makes it fun to follow.

The Master and Missy are shown making moves at the doctor. They are plotting to kill the doctor and they explore a wide array of tactics to eliminate him. Considering Missy’s deeds the whole of this season, this comes out as a show of great betrayal. The two masters need to work with the doctor to survive. A lot of thrilling experiences lie ahead, but you have to follow closely to get to enjoy each and every part of “The Doctor Falls.”

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” Impresses Fans A Huge Deal For Deviating From The Norm

There is no doubt about it that indeed “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is one of the topmost superhero movies. This is in no way downgrading Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight,” which was also a great production.

According to Variety, Tom Holland in the “Homecoming” portrays Spider-Man as a teenager that is struggling with numerous issues. The way he moves about fighting crime takes the viewer back to those times when superheroes were not obliged to necessarily save the world from terrorist activities at all costs.

The Vulture is the villain in Homecoming and one thing that comes out clearly is that he doesn’t seem much interested in dominating the world. On the contrary, he is portrayed as someone focused on making money through the sale of weapons that employ alien technology.

The villain is also shown to be a crook so pure and simple. To thrive, he is seen going against the law to pay for a top-class place in the suburbs. This beats the expectations of many who thought that it would turn out to be the same line of thought where the villain usually targets destroying human lives.

A lot of people love the numerous twists that have been incorporated in this latest production. The context as well as the roles of characters has been assigned cautiously and in a way to capture the attention of the large audience that has been waiting for the movie to be launched.

A lot of fans are getting tired of the fact that most of the productions are leaning to the same direction. A lot of the Avengers movies run to the same conclusion and this is boring to the viewer since he/she can even predict the end. The idea of collateral damage has been widely covered and the audience is losing interest in any production that is taking a similar angle.

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” seems to have leant the trick very well and in good time. It is currently receiving a lot of views from all the four corners of the world.

‘Despicable Me 3’ Critics, Reviews and Highlights

The third instalment of the” Despicable Me” franchise open to missed reactions from fans and critics alike as it has been described as some as a “parent trap”. The sequel which was written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio centres on reformed super villain Gru, who along with his wife Lucy and his army of minions as they attempt incredible acts that has world changing/wrecking potential.

“Despicable me 3” features the star act Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) in a new adventure as he, his wife and three children goes on a journey to meet his long lost twin brother Dru (also voiced by Carell). The movie involves a lot of high-tech weapons and a destructive giant robot with lasers and also simulates heavy action and explosion. However, the movie has been criticized for being the same as the previously produced version.

Film critic Justin Chang, writing for the LA times was tough on the movie’s lack of invention. He asserted that the movie was a “parent trap” which is a term used to describe a movie that is good for the sole purpose of giving parents peace of mind while their kids watch. That is, it is only interesting enough to get the attention of kids and is not good enough to thrill them. Chang also explained that the movie plot missed the mark by focusing on discovery of Gru’s twin brother and explains that this angle does not help to give life to the story.

Another critic, Leah Greenblatt who writes for Entertainment Weekly described the movie as a “giddy but scattershot sequel”. The critic explained that the plot lacked cohesion and struggles to recreate the intense action and thrills achieved with the first movie. She also emphasised that the story Side-lined the Gru kids and did not point enough spotlight on them.

The movie which previous edition has grossed $2.7 billion worldwide did not do too badly in the box office this time around. Though figures have not been mind-blowing they have however been beyond producers expectation. The movie is expected to land between $90 million-$100 million range this weekend figures which are better than the producers projection of $85 million for the week.
