Double Bill Number Four: Sound of Metal (2019) + Mogul Mowgli (2020) In both films, Riz Ahmed plays a young musician (drummer & rapper), whose life changes when his body goes through unexpected and unwanted physical changes (becoming deaf in one film, diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in the other). Both movies feature stellar performances by Ahmed.

Dear President Biden,

We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine.

We ask that, as President of the United States, you call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost. More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half – a number any person of conscience knows is catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.

We urge your administration, and all world leaders, to honor all of the lives in the Holy Land and call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay – an end to the bombing of Gaza, and the safe release of hostages. Half of Gaza’s two million residents are children, and more than two thirds are refugees and their descendants being forced to flee their homes. Humanitarian aid must be allowed to reach them.

We believe that the United States can play a vital diplomatic role in ending the suffering and we are adding our voices to those from the US Congress, UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, The International Committee of The Red Cross, and so many others. Saving lives is a moral imperative. To echo UNICEF, “Compassion — and international law — must prevail.”

As of this writing more than 6,000 bombs have been dropped on Gaza in the last 12 days — resulting in one child being killed every 15 minutes.

“Children and families in Gaza have practically run out of food, water, electricity, medicine and safe access to hospitals, following days of air strikes and cuts to all supply routes. Gaza’s sole power plant ran out of fuel Wednesday afternoon, shutting down electricity, water and wastewater treatment. Most residents can no longer get drinking water from service providers or household water through pipelines…. The humanitarian situation has reached lethal lows, and yet all reports point to further attacks. Compassion — and international law — must prevail.” – UNICEF spokesperson, James Elder

Beyond our pain and mourning for all of the people there and their loved ones around the world we are motivated by an unbending will to stand for our common humanity. We stand for freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people – and a deep desire to stop more bloodshed.

We refuse to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing. As Emergency Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told UN News, “History is watching.”

Blade II hit the 21 year mark!! This follow up is hailed by many as the best of the trilogy. I agree!!

Hopefully the new Blade film finds it way. Bassam Tariq was set to direct but he left the production. A new director hasn't been announced. Mahershala Ali, who is protraying Blade in the reboot, has expressed displeasure with the script citing "not enough action". We shall see....

MARVEL STUDIOS: BLADE REMOVED FROM 2025 RELEASE CALANDAR

This film was announced over five years ago. Is it ever coming out? I mean, In July of 2019,  at San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin Feige officially announced that Mahershala Ali would star in a reboot of Blade. I know because I was there. I witnessed it. Then nothing. The BLADE project has faced numerous hurdles since then, as directors Bassam Tariq and Yann Demange both signed on to direct the movie at…

'Blade' Loses Another Director

Yann Demange is no longer going to direct Marvel Studios’ Blade. After numerous delays and rewrites, Demange’s departure is said to be amicable and to have happened a while ago.

Marvel Studios đã tạm dừng quá trình tiền sản xuất bộ phim siêu anh hùng "Blade" do cuộc đình công của các nhà biên kịch đang diễn ra tại Hollywood. Bộ phim có sự tham gia của nam diễn viên Mahershala Ali trong vai thợ săn ma cà rồng và dự kiến sẽ bắt đầu quay ở Atlanta trong vòng một tháng để kịp ngày phát hành 6/9/2024. Đây không phải là lần đầu tiên quá trình sản xuất bộ phim được mong đợi này bị trì hoãn. Năm ngoái, việc phát hành đã được đẩy từ năm 2023 sang năm 2024 sau khi đạo diễn Bassam Tariq rời dự án hai tháng trước khi bộ phim bắt đầu quay. Marvel Studios sau đó đã mời Yann Demange làm đạo diễn mới và Nic Pizzolatto để viết lại kịch bản. Tuy nhiên, Pizzolatto đã không thể hoàn thành tác phẩm của mình trước khi cuộc đình công của các nhà văn bắt đầu, là nguyên nhân gây ra sự chậm trễ.Marvel hoãn làm phim "Blade" vì làn sóng đình công tại HollywoodMarvel hoãn làm phim "Blade" vì làn sóng đình công tại Hollywood. (Ảnh: IT).Sự hồi sinh của "Blade" được Marvel Studios công bố lần đầu tiên tại San Diego Comic-Con vào năm 2019. Wesley Snipes ban đầu đóng vai nhân vật này trên màn ảnh trong bộ ba phim truyện từ năm 1998 đến năm 2004. Cuộc đình công đã làm gián đoạn một số bộ phim của Marvel. Tuy nhiên, hãng phim có các dự án khác đang trong các giai đoạn sản xuất khác nhau, bao gồm "Thunderbolts", "Captain America: New World Order", "Deadpool 3" và loạt phim Disney+ "Agatha: Coven of Chaos", "Daredevil: Born Again".Trước đó, liên minh các nhà sản xuất phim và truyền hình (AMPTP) đại diện cho một bên trong cuộc chiến, bao gồm các hãng phim Hollywood, kênh truyền hình và phân phối nội dung. Bên kia là nhiều hiệp hội biên kịch có tầm vóc khác, bao gồm SAG-AFTRA và DGA. Hạt nhân của cuộc "tranh đấu" là vấn đề lương thấp và điều kiện làm việc khó khăn.WGA cho rằng, sự sống còn của nghề viết lách đang bị đe dọa. Các nhà văn bị ảnh hưởng bởi xu hướng phát trực tuyến và tác phẩm của họ bị giảm giá trị. Trong khi đó, các công ty lại tăng chi tiêu cho nội dung và cắt giảm lương của biên kịch.

I'd heard so much about the celebs and creatives who signed that letter in support of Israel which totally ignored the plight of Palestinians in favor of promoting Zionist talking points -- to the point where I didn't even know about the Artists4Ceasefire counter letter.

I know in the grand scheme of things, these letters are mostly performative gestures. I don't know how many on this list are actively promoting the Palestinian cause as individuals with far-reaching platforms... but it's a far cry from the appalled disappointment I felt scrolling down that first letter.

I saw your tags about trying to compile a list of celebs who support Palestine and a pretty decent source is the celebrities4palestine Instagram account🫶🏾

Thank you so much!!
