versiunea 1.3. redux (incl. ROCKLAND & alinland)
Nic Cage is back with something cool in black and white (and color) but I'd rather see it Noir as in the title. Premieres May 24th on Prime as in in collaboration with Sony, who's only Marvel character they got rights too...
From the looks it's more of a Sin City / Frank Miller, The Spirit / Will Eisner.
Breendan Gleeson is the villain.
Except gamebased Fallout TV series Marvel or recently have brought an interesting spinoff, The Penguin, and Wonder Mam.
Cliff Booth aka Brad Pitt, the stuntman from Once Upon a Time in...Hollywood is back in the new Netflix series The Adventures of Cliff Booth, written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by David Fincher !!!
Timothy Olyphant is also back as western TV actor James Stacy (Lancer).
Here's the teaser trailer. Coming soon this year !!!
This just in, as y-day it was the 45th anniversary of the release of the KILLERS album (2.02.1981) !!!
The life and career of pioneering heavy metal frontman Paul Di'Anno, the powerhouse voice heard on Iron Maiden's early albums, will be celebrated in the forthcoming documentary, Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer, to be released by Cleopatra Entertainment this summer.
Hmm, the doc does not apperar on imdb at all... :(
I met Wes Orshoski (and his co-director Greg Olliver in Cannes 15 years ago !!! when they premiered LEMMY in the market, wanted to bring him to Brasov to Doc and Roll to present his film, which we did (show the film that is..)
In a strikingly raw and intimate film, director Wes Orshoski captures the late singer riding an emotional rollercoaster toward the end of his life. Featuring appearances by James Hetfield (Metallica), Gene Simmons (Kiss) Maiden's Steve Harris and members of Exodus, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill and Sepultura, the film chronicles how two Iron Maiden fans encounter Di'Anno at the lowest point of his life and then set out to restore his health and relaunch his career.
Wheelchair-bound since the mid-2010s, Di’Anno’s health nosedived during the Covid-19 pandemic, when those two fans launched a crowdfunding campaign which ultimately led to him relocating to Croatia, where - through the help of those fans and doctors - he made a dramatic turnaround while running out of money, reuniting with his former Maiden bandmates, and falling in love. Eventually he makes a heroic and drama-filled return to the stage. All of this is captured in Di'Anno: Iron Maiden's Lost Singer, which Orshoski began shooting in 2017.
“For years there wasn’t much to capture,” says Orshoski, whose credits include Lemmy, a study of Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister and The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead. “Paul was waiting for surgeries that doctors in the U.K. would not green-light. He was in an incredibly dark place. But once he got to Croatia, fans and doctors gave him the hope he was desperately searching for. It was beautiful to witness. I wanted to make a film that was unlike any rock doc you've ever seen. And in the end, I think we got there.”
One of icons of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s, London-born Di’Anno helped launch Iron Maiden around the world, appearing on two of the most foundational metal albums ever released: Iron Maiden’s 1980 self-titled debut and the celebrated follow-up, Killers, released in 1981. In one of the most epic sagas in metal history, Di’Anno left Maiden in 1981 and was replaced by Bruce Dickinson, leaving metal fans around the world to debate which line-up and which singer was/is better. It’s a debate that continues to this day, almost 50 years later.
Orshoski finished work on the film (which was shot in England, Croatia, Brazil and the United States) shortly before Di’Anno’s death at 66 in October 2024. Di’Anno: Iron Maiden’s Lost Singer has been screening at European film festivals and will be released worldwide on both streaming services and on Home Entertainment DVD and BLU RAY formats.

Recunoscut drept unul dintre cei mai spectaculoși chitariști de blues-rock contemporan, Eric Sardinas revine în fața publicului din România pentru un concert-eveniment la București, în cadrul Transilvania Blues Nights, marcând prima sa apariție în România după 2012, când a concertat ultima dată în București. Revenirea sa este așteptată de peste un deceniu de fanii blues-rock-ului autentic.
Artistul american este celebru pentru stilul său electrizant și tehnica explozivă de slide guitar, prin care îmbină blues-ul tradițional cu energia rock-ului. Influențat profund de maeștri precum Elmore James, Johnny Winter și Son House, Sardinas duce mai departe tradiția blues-ului electric într-o formă contemporană.
Cu o carieră de peste două decenii pe marile scene ale lumii, Eric Sardinas s-a impus ca un performer de referință, cunoscut pentru intensitatea concertelor sale live și pentru modul visceral în care folosește chitara, adesea apelând la tehnici neconvenționale și o expresivitate rar întâlnită. De-a lungul timpului, a colaborat și a împărțit scena cu artiști legendari precum Steve Vai, Charlie Musselwhite, Marco Mendoza, David Coverdale și John Sykes, consolidându-și reputația internațională.
Eric Sardinas este considerat un artist care aduce blues-ul în prezent fără compromisuri, păstrând respectul pentru tradiție, dar împingând constant limitele expresiei muzicale. Fiecare concert este o experiență intensă și memorabilă.
