Reincarnation gets a Sci-Fi/action twist in the new film from Antoine Fuqua, Infinite, which manages to get real close to being great. This week, Paramount+ launches Infinite, the latest film from director Antoine Fuqua and starring Mark Wahlberg. To be honest, I went into the film knowing almost nothing about it, other than the basic […]

Dungeon Fortnight #2

Hyacinthe was still basically an innocent at the end of the two albums collected in The Night Shirt, but the back half of the Early Years sub-series, collected in the English-language book Innocence Lost , definitively turns him into the older, cynical Keeper that we see in Dungeon Zenith. He starts off still as the somewhat deluded and not-particularly-effective nocturnal vigilante The Night Shirt, but keeps learning the world has greater and greater depths of suffering and venality and nastiness than he ever expected.

Even what he thought would be his triumphant moment — saving his love, the assassin Alexandra, and falling into bed with her — is sordid and twisted. This is the point in the long Dungeon series when that Gallic fatalistic philosophy really starts to kick in: that the world is horrible and will never be right, and that random events toss us around, no matter what we want.

Akira Tachibana (Nana Komatsu) is a 17-year-old high school student. She was once a promising athlete, but an injury has prevented her from taking part in track and field. One day, Akira Tachibana goes to a family restaurant and the manager talks to her in a tender voice. This makes Akira Tachibana begin working part-time at the restaurant. The manager is 45-year-old Masami Kondo (Yo Oizumi) and he is divorced with a child. Akira Tachibana falls in love with him.

‘After the Rain’ is based on manga series “Koi wa Ameagari no You ni” by Jun Mayuzuki. Director Akira Nakai’s previous film ‘Teiichi: Battle of Supreme High’ is a manga adaptation, too.

Exclusive: VOD platform planning five-ten original shows.

British entrepreneur Martin Warner’s Us and UK-based VOD service Flix Premiere has announced a $50m production fund.

The move comes one year after the platform launched on desktop, mobile and Ott channels and will allow Warner and his team to produce five to 10 Flix Premiere Originals over the next two years.

“This will enable us to get in earlier on films and get involved in marketing at an earlier stage,” CEO Warner, who is on the Croisette scouting for titles, said.

Backed by media and technology investors, the fund will assemble an agnostic slate, picking up films from the international festival circuit and acquiring titles at script stage. Warner expects to announce the first six titles by the end of the year.

“A couple of years on and a few hundred movies later we haven’t digressed from that plan,” Warner said. “We tend to...

After 35 years, Star Wars casts an ever-growing pop-culture shadow. Though the anniversary of the release of the original Star Wars falls on May 25, devotees of that galaxy far, far away have designated May 4, as in “May the 4th Be With You,” as the official day to party like a drunken Ewok. If you’re a diehard Star Wars fanatic, today would be the day to consider what an impact George Lucas’ space opera has had not only on J.J. Abrams, Joss Whedon, the guys at Pixar, and even Lady Gaga, but also on science, philosophy, and politics.

A lot of...
