Living
The acclaimed reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s 1952 classic “Ikiru,” has been sold to Sony Pictures Classics following its premiere at Sundance. Oliver Hermanus directs from a script by Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro.
Bill Nighy plays a veteran civil servant in 1950s UK reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow of existence. A terminal medical diagnosis forces him to take stock and try to grasp fulfilment. [Source: Variety]
Olli Olli World
Playstation has unveiled a trailer for Roll7’s upcoming game “OlliOlli World” which launches on all platforms on February 8th.
Though lacking any, the clip offers a look into the world of Radlandia that the skateboarding game unfolds in – not pixilated like the previous two titles but fully hand-drawn animated this time out.
Halloween Ends
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis has posted the first photo of herself getting ready to play Laurie Strode one last time for the upcoming “Halloween Ends” with filming is now underway in Savannah, Georgia.
While ‘Kills’ took place on the same night as the 2018 reboot, ‘Ends’ apparently take place four years later with her character Laurie likely to have a more active role. David Gordon Green returns as director with the film opening October 14th.
