New Featurette of “artemis Fowl”

In this new featurette for “Artemis Fowl”, director Kenneth Branagh and author Eoin Colfer discuss how they worked together to bring Artemis Fowl to life.

Disney’s “Artemis Fowl” opens in theaters on May 29th.

Disney’s “Artemis Fowl,” based on the beloved book by Eoin Colfer, is a fantastical, spellbinding adventure that follows the journey of 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl, a descendant of a long line of criminal masterminds, as he seeks to find his father who has mysteriously disappeared. With the help of his loyal protector Butler, Artemis sets out to find him, and in doing so uncovers an ancient, underground civilization—the amazingly advanced world of fairies. Deducing that his father’s disappearance is somehow connected to the secretive, reclusive fairy world, cunning Artemis concocts a dangerous plan—so dangerous that he ultimately finds himself in a perilous war of wits with the all-powerful fairies.

“Artemis Fowl” is directed by Kenneth Branagh and stars Ferdia Shaw, Lara McDonnell, Josh Gad, Tamara Smart, Nonso Anozie, Josh McGuire, Nikesh Patel, Adrian Scarborough and Miranda Raison, with Colin Farrell and Judi Dench. Kenneth Branagh, p.g.a. and Judy Hofflund, p.g.a. are producing with Angus More Gordon and Matthew Jenkins serving as executive producers. Conor McPherson and Hamish McColl wrote the screenplay.

Disney Finds Actors to Play Peter Pan & Wendy in Live Action Peter Pan Movie

Disney has found a pair of young actors to portray two of the lead characters for the upcoming film “Peter Pan and Wendy”. Alexander Molony has been cast as Peter Pan and Ever Anderson has been cast as Wendy. The film will be a live action remake of the Disney animated classic “Peter Pan” and will be directed by David Lowery (“Pete’s Dragon”).

Alexander Molony recently appeared in the British comedy series “The Reluctant Landlord” and has also voiced the lead character for the Disney Junior animated series “Claude”.

Ever Anderson has appeared in “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” and we will see her later this year portray a young Natasha Romanoff in “Black Widow”. Ever Anderson is also the daughter or two famous parents, actress Milla Jovovich and director Paul W.S. Anderson.

New Featurette For “Mulan”

In this new featurette for “Mulan”, the cast and crew take you behind the scenes and reveal all of the the intense training that they had to endure in order to make the sword fighting and hand-to-hand combat look so authentic.

“Mulan” opens in theaters on March 27th.

When the Emperor of China issues a decree that one man per family must serve in the Imperial Army to defend the country from Northern invaders, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, steps in to take the place of her ailing father. Masquerading as a man, Hua Jun, she is tested every step of the way and must harness her inner strength and embrace her true potential. It is an epic journey that will transform her into an honored warrior and earn her the respect of a grateful nation… and a proud father.

“Mulan” features a celebrated international cast that includes: Yifei Liu as Mulan; Donnie Yen as Commander Tung; Jason Scott Lee as Böri Khan; Yoson An as Cheng Honghui; with Gong Li as Xianniang and Jet Li as the Emperor.

The film is directed by Niki Caro from a screenplay by Rick Jaffa & Amanda Silver and Elizabeth Martin & Lauren Hynek based on the narrative poem “The Ballad of Mulan.”
