You may or may not know but Evanescence is going on tour and are releasing a NEW! Album "Synthesis" which is out in November and I have just seen whilst perusing YouTube.com's website Evanescence have now put up on their VEVO page a NEW! official video for this song.
If you haven't heard this song yet...why not? Anyhew... here is the link to see what you think to the official music video for "Imperfection":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_XoKJP1XK4
I have to be honest with the big piano instrumental intro to this song I nearly missed the video but after this build up I have to say that this to me does sound very much like a Bond theme with its dramatic sound.
And I do like the watercolour effect in this video but (and I don't mean to course any offense when I say this) but I hope this is just an initial video as I don't get it with the little girl and the crown of thorns that she wears in the video.

God it's all kicking off even before "Fast and Furious 9" has even begun!
I totally agree with Collider.com's website that when there's any news about anything to do with "Fast and Furious" it is virtually impossible to write anything or even for me to post anything up on this blog without making a pun about cars, engines etc.
Anyhew...You may or may not have heard but there has been a lot of news circulating recently on the internet that a lot of things have happened that you might have thought would threaten to derail this movie franchise and even stall "Fast and the Furious 9" even being made, things like arguments going on between Vin Diesel and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Tyrese Gibson who plays Roman Pierce in the films blaming Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson why the release date for "Fast and Furious 9" has been pushed back a year to April 10th 2020 and there's not even been a confirmed cast for this film nor a confirmed script for this movie...but fear not "Fast and Furious" fans according to The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision" blog there will be a "Fast and Furious 9" and that according to "sources" Universal Pictures had pushed this release date back to accommodate potential director scheduling and also according to these same "sources" The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision" blog says that Universal Picture's top man for this is Justin Lin who directed "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" and "Fast and Furious 6".
This according to Collider.com's website will be the penultimate film in the franchise as according to Collider.com Vin Diesel has always said that the Fast and Furious franchise would tap out at 10...so I'm thinking that this to me would leave a huge gap in the movie world to make a franchise or fill the gap with something that would gross as much money as this franchise did but in my opinion the trick to this might have something to do with having an original idea like the first film was created out of an idea based on a magazine article about the street racing culture that was going on in the San Fernando Valley around the turn of the century.
Anyhew... according to The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision" blog Universal Pictures are already creating a spin off film that centres around Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's character from the films Lucas Hobbs and Jason Statham's character from the film Deckard Shaw. This according to this same article on the "Heat Vision" blog has been pencilled in by Universal Pictures to be released on July 26th 2019.
Also according to this article Chris Morgan who has been in charge of writing the scripts for these films ever since "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" is said to be now writing the script for this spin off film...but this same article does say though that no deals between these two actors have not been made.
And it already looks like Universal Pictures are already looking ahead with ways to make more money out of this franchise long after the cameras stop rolling with there already being planned for next year a live arena show, a theme park, consumer products and according to Donna Langley chairman of Universal Pictures who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter saying that:
"The global brand of "Fast and Furious" is strong and full of iconic characters, and we look forward to continuing to build on the film that started it all, as well as expanding into different narratives beginning with our first spin off".
So sounds like to me you should watch this space for more things to come from this money making film franchise.

If There's One Thing You Do Today It has To Be This...The NEW! Trailer For Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Omg! Omg! Omg! the NEW! trailer for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" has just dropped today and as I am the biggest fan of these movies I just had to watch this...and I still can't wait for this NEW! film to be released.
In case you haven't seen these films why the fuck not? I was thinking that if you hadn't then I'd fill in the blanks but there's just too much that's gone on in this film universe for me to fit in on one blog post...but here it is in a nut shell: there is a light and a dark side, the jedi knights keep the balance of this and the Alliance has been fighting the dark side of the Empire for years trying to tip the balance in their favour, this started with Princess Padme Amidala who was the mother of Luke Skywalker and Leia who were separated at birth because there father was a Jedi knight Anikin Skywalker but he turned into Darth Vader leader of the dark side and was controlled by the Sith Lord and the republic feared that if the Sith Lord was to ever find out about the two children then he might go in search of them to either turn them to the dark side and gain more control or kill them, so Leia became a Princess and Luke became a pilot in sky fleet command but wanted to become a Jedi knight, but whilst the Rebel Alliance which Leia was part of along with Hans Solo, Chubaka, C-3PO and R2D2 were being hunted by Darth Vader Luke Skywalker went to be trained by Yoda on a planet called Tatoeen where he would learn everything about the force and how to become a Jedi knight but he cut his training short when he learned his sister and friends were in trouble when they tried to take out a satellite dish that was the command centre for the Death Star, and then he also learned his father was Darth Vader but just like his father he ended up with his hand being cut off by a lightsaber. So after this Luke always believed there was good in Darth Vader despite still being with the dark side and this was shown when Darth killed the Sith Lord but also died himself, and the last film showed that the Rebel Alliance had found plans for a bigger Death Star to be built and that Luke Skywalker had vanished and was still being hunted by the Dark Side and his sister, and that Rey a girl who had been finding pieces of scraps and pawning them for food was caught up in this fight as she finds the droid BB as well as Finn one of the StormTroopers who disobeys orders and runs away from the Dark Side's command, and she finds she had some Jedi abilities and she also found that Kylo Ren who was the new leader of the dark side's armies was once Leia's son who had turned to the dark side after being sent away to Luke Skywalker to train and learn about the force and he kills his father Hans Solo.
I've just realised whilst writing all this that this really isn't writing it all down in a nutshell...but I did tell you that there had been a lot happening in this universe of films.
Anyhew...I am just sooooo excited now I've seen this new trailer, here is the link to the IMDb.com page:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2527336/?ref_=nv_sr_2
It looks like to me that in this new film like Chubaka might just have a new friend. And what's happened to Kylo Ren since the last film for him to be friends with Rey? well I guess all will be revealed on December 14th 2017 when this film will be released in the UK.
But now I've seen this trailer I don't think I can wait that long.
This film is directed and written by Rian Johnson using characters created by the legendary director who created this franchise of films George Lucas.
Daisy Ridley who played Rey in the last film, Mark Hamill who played Luke Skywalker in the whole of the other films including the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", Oscar Isaacs who played Poe Dameron in the last film, Domhnall Gleeson who played General Hux, John Boyega who played Finn in the last film and Adam Driver who played Kylo Ren in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will return to reprise their roles.
Billie Lourd (Carrie Fischer's daughter) will according to IMDb.com star in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", Andy Serkis who you may or may not recognise from playing King Kong in "King Kong" and Golem in "The Lord Of The Rings" will according to IMDb.com also feature in this film along with Laura Dern.
But IMDb.com has been known to state incorrect facts sometimes.

Must See: Hold The Phone! Paddington 2 trailer!
You may or may not already know but there has been talk ever since the first "Paddington" film that the bear from deepest darkest Peru will be getting a sequel...well why the hell not the first one was so good and it seemed to be bagging all the awards at the BAFTA'a at the time as well.
Well I have just seen on IMDb.com the trailer for "Paddington 2" is now finally here.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4468740/?ref_=nv_sr_1
If you haven't seen the first "Paddington" then I urge you to watch it as its so lovely to watch on a rainy day or when your not feeling very well and all you want to do is have a duvet day.
If you haven't seen "Paddington" and have no idea what the hell I'm talking about then I'll fill you in...Paddington lives with his aunt Lucy and Uncle Posquso (I'm not sure on the spelling so don't kill me if it's wrong) in deepest darkest Peru and they love making marmalade and Paddington's Uncle always has underneath his hat a marmalade sandwich in case of emergencies, there's an earthquake and on the way to the shelter Paddington's uncle dies and so his aunt sends him to London with a note around his head saying "If Lost Please Look After This Bear" where he ends up at Paddington station and meets the Brown family, they take him in and go about finding the explorer who went to Peru years before and told his aunt and uncle that they'd always have a home in London, but here he finds that the explorer died, the expedition was struck from the records of the Geographer's Guild In London and his now grown up daughter who is head of the National History Museum but has been secretly trapping already exotic species of animals and stuffing them wants to do the same to Paddington as her father was ridiculed and never received any notoriety as he would never bring a living specimen of the bears back from Peru so she sees it as revenge.
But according to IMDb.com's website Paddington's back and will be again voiced by Ben Whishaw who you may or may not recognise from the recent Bond films as he played the character Q, and settling in to life with the Brown family with Hugh Bonnerville returning to play the character Mr. Brown and Sally Hawkins also returning to play the character Mrs. Brown, and tries to buy the perfect birthday present for his aunt Lucy who will again be voiced by Imelda Staunton who you may or may not recognise from "Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix" as she played the character of Dolores Umbridge and therefore takes on a series of odd jobs in the local community so as to pay for this perfect present but it then gets stolen.
And the person who would do this dastardly deed looks to be none other than Hugh Grant
Julie Walters who you may or may not recognise from the first "Paddington" will be back to reprise her role of "Mrs. Bird" and Jim Broadbent will also return to reprise his role of "Mr.Gruber",-who if you haven't seen the first film he was the owner of the antiques shop that helped Paddington identify who the hat he had originally belonged to-, also according to IMDb.com it looks like Peter Capaldi will be back in this sequel to reprise his role of "Mr.Curry"may who you may or may not recognise from the first "Paddington" as the neighbour next door to the Brown family that helps Nicole Kidman kidnap Paddington and then phones the Brown family putting on a silly voice to tell them that he's at the Natural History Museum.
Also new to this film is Brendan Gleeson who according to IMDb.com will play the character "Knuckles McGinty".
Paul King has written and directed this sequel along with Michael Bond writing this (who also originally created the character "Paddington Bear"), Jon Croker who wrote additional material for this as well as Simon Farnaby also wrote this sequel.
And according to IMDb.com this will be released in UK cinemas on November 10th and if you want to see the date for other countries that this will be released in go to the "Paddington 2" IMDb.com page and where it says the UK release date click on it and you will see the other release dates for other countries.

Guess Who's Getting A Musical...Cher!
I was perusing the internet the other day and I found this piece of exciting news on TheHollywoodReporter.com's website...Cher's getting a musical!
You may or may not already know but according to TheHollywoodReporter.com this musical bio-pic will feature all or part of 35-40 of her best well known songs but this won't be a bio-pic in the traditional sense of the word bio-pic as according to Rick Elice who will write a book that will feature alongside this musical told The New York Times that this:
"...takes place in its subject's psychological closet, and in that closet is everything she's ever been in her life-everything she has every played, every song she's sung, everyone she's been married to, every pair of shoes she's worn, every success and every failure..."
Also according to TheHollywoodReporter's website this will be generally built like her "Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour" variety show that she along with husband Sonny Bono hosted in the 1970s.
According to this same TheHollywoodReporter.com's article this non-linear story bio-pic will feature at this point of its development three actresses at different stages of Cher's life.
"The Cher Show" will be produced by Flody Suarez and Jeffrey Seller who produced the musical "Hamilton", will be directed by Jason Moore who directed the musical "Avenue Q" over in the USA, choreographed by Christopher Gattelli who choreographed the musical "Newsies" over in the States, and the musical arrangement, orchestrations and musical supervisions will be done by Daryl Waters who did the musical arrangements, orchestrations and musical supervisions for the musical "Memphis".
This will according to TheHollywoodReporter.com will open on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre in Fall 2018,- or for us English people this means Autumn to winter time 2018-. But this musical will get a pre-Broadway world premier at Chicago's Oriental Theatre and will run from June 12th to July 15th 2018.
