The second Fantastic Beasts movie is here

As host of Hollywood stars converged in Paris for the world premiere of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald, it was Ezra Miller who stole the limelight in huge puffer coat. The American actor looked flamboyant in a quilted floor-length cape-style outfit at the Paris screening.

The 26-year-old, who plays Credence Barebone in the fantasy films, completed his look with matching gloves and hood, and burgundy lipstick. He was joined at the premiere by co-stars Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law, Zoe Kravitz , Katherine Waterston and the film’s screenwriter and producer JK Rowling.

The second Fantastic Beasts film sees Ezra reprise his role as Credence, the troubled adopted son of Samantha Morton’s character Mary Lou — leader of the anti-wizard and witch group, the New Salem Philanthropic Society.


Sandra Bullock’s new venture

Academy Award-winning director Susanne Bier has united with Netflix to bring her apocalyptic vision to screens worldwide.

The film stars Oscar-winner Sandra Bullock as our heroine Malorie.

When a mysterious force decimates the world’s population. Facing the unknown, Malorie finds love, hope and a new beginning only for it to unravel. Now she must flee with her two children down a treacherous river to the one place left that may offer sanctuary. But to survive, they’ll have to undertake the perilous two-day journey blindfolded.

The film also reunites Bullock with her Golden Globe-winning co-star Sarah Paulson, and also features Moonlight star Trevante Rhodes and the acclaimed John Malkovich.


Frozen 2, more epic than ever

Frozen 2 is all set to be bigger than ever! Frozen fans will have to start making room in their repertoires alongside Let It Go and Do You Want to Build a Snowman?, as it’s been revealed we’ll be getting seven brand new songs when Frozen 2 is released next year. All this was disclosed recently at the Ralph Breaks the Internet premiere in LA, by co-director and writer Jennifer Lee.

Released in 2013, the original Frozen follows the story of Snow Queen Elsa (Idina Menzel) and her sister Anna (Kristen Bell) as they try to break Elsa’s icy spell and save their kingdom from eternal winter.

The sisters, alongside Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), Olaf (Josh Gad) and Sven, the reindeer, are all set to return in the sequel.

And there’ll be a few new faces too, with Sterling K Brown and Evan Rachel Wood joining the cast.
