Ryan Coogler And His Wife To Collaborate On New Harlem-Based Comic Book Film

Read the original here:

F rom Fruitvale Station to Black Panther , Oakland-bred film director Ryan Coogler is the man behind some of Hollywood’s most poignant films. For one of his upcoming projects, he’s collaborating with his wife Zinzi Evans to produce a film based on the comic book series Bitter Root , Deadline reported. Legendary Sets Ryan Coogler To Produce Comic Series Adaptation ‘Bitter Root’ With Zinzi Evans & Sev Ohanian https://t.co/x0qzs5TXG1 pic.twitter.com/aRSRUv3m7c — Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) October 2, 2019 The series—which was developed by illustrator Sanford Greene and writers David F. Walker and Chuck Brown —is centered on a Harlem-based monster-hunting family during the peak of the Harlem Renaissance. The Sangeryes family has a long history of overcoming evil and the surviving members must uphold the legacy and save the city of New York. Bitter Root has garnered several nominations for prestigious awards including the 2019 Ringo award for Best Series and the 2019 Eisner Award for Best New Series. The global entertainment company Legendary Pictures Productions will develop the project in partnership with Coogler, Evans and Sev Ohanian . There is no word on when the film will be released. Coogler has been dedicated to bringing diverse narratives to the silver screen. “As I got older, I wanted to find a comic book character that looked like me and not just one that was on the sidelines,” he said in an interview with NPR . “I just want to make films that resonate with me, that are interesting to me, that deal with themes that I’m passionate about.” His wife Zinzi Evans is expanding her repertoire in the film industry and has collaborated with him on several projects. Coogler often credits Evans for helping him launch his career in film. “I was broke, playing football on the little scholarship money and my wife scrapped together some cheese and bought me Final Draft, which is the software that you write your movies on. She got me that,” he said in a Hot 97 interview . As far as what’s on the horizon for Coogler, he’s working on Space Jam 2 which is slated to be released in 2021 and the sequel to Black Panther will hit theaters in 2022.

Quavo To Exec Produce Cartoon Series Based on Atlanta’s Hip-Hop Scene

Original post:

Nowadays not only are rappers doing their thing on the silver screen and on the tube, but they’re also getting in on the animation game. Just a few months after Vince Staples’ Adult Swim project Lazor Wulf was announced, the Migos’ Quavo  broke the news that he and Imagine Entertainment’s co-founder Brian Grazer are working together on an animation project inspired by Atlanta’s Hip-Hop scene. According to Complex the ATLien and Grazer are set to executive-produce a “transformative franchise” but unlike the mature content found in Staples’ Lazor Wulf , Quavo’s vision is being crafted to accommodate the children of the culture. “I have long seen how hip-hop as well as our music (Migos) really impacts kids,” Quavo said in a press release Thursday announcing the new animated franchise series aimed at kids ages 8-12. “I’ve loved animation my whole life whether on TV or in movies and I wanted my first jump into this premium content world to be a show just for kids. It will definitely reflect the creativity, love, and families in and around the NAWF side of Atlanta where we grew up.” The series will draw from the Atlanta hip-hop scene and marks a partnership between Imagine’s Marginal Mediaworks, Imagine Kids+Family, Quality Control Music, and Motown. Quality Control’s Pierre “Pee” Thomas and Kevin “Coach K” Lee will produce alongside Dan Altmann and Capitol Music Group’s Brian Nolan and Ryan Allingham. Sounds like Quavo and company are about to fill a space needed for the kids who don’t have many cartoons to choose from that they can relate to. Coach K said as much when sharing his thoughts on the upcoming project. “When I was growing up there was very little media that had brown and black skinned kids feeling heard or seen and the ones that did stood out and served as a crucial roadmap through our childhoods,” he said. “I’m about inclusive stories that address all kinds of situations that kids of ALL ethnic and financial backgrounds experience and to give them a common tool to learn and grow.” No word yet on when the series will premier but expect some original music and merchandise to accompany it’s release when the time comes.

Cambrie Schroder Can’t Stop Being Slutty of the Day

CAMBRIE SCHRODER loves being a slut. Cambrie Schroder can’t help but produce panty content on instagram wearing a sheer top with her nipples out, because girls are all coded the same… If you can make it a social norm to show everyone your cunt, the world of women who own cunts will jump at the opportunity to show their cunts… We are not there yet, but we may get there eventually, at the rate things are going I am surprised there aren’t pussy lip challenges, dick sucking challenges, amongst everyday girls…. The fact is women like attention, they like being sexualized, it makes them wet. It’s a fact, prove me wrong… The proof is in the pudding and by pudding I mean instagram where all these sluts are naked all the fucking time…It is great… Cambrie Schroder can’t help but do this angle, because as previously mentioned, she’s a woman and likes the attention, but also because her dad is Ricky Schroder from Silver Spoons, the liklihood of her riding his name further than she already has is minimal…so bust out the nipples and scream “DO THESE NIPPLES OFFEND YOU”….to which no one will say they offend them cuz they don’t offend us other than them not being buttholes…..but you have to “DO THESE NIPPLES OFFEND YOU”….despite no one ever being offended by nipples…with your nipple picture so that you have a reason, a protest, a purpose to post nipple content…when we all know you don’t need a reason girl…bring the nips… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

American Gangster: Heroin Kingpin Frank Lucas Dies Of Natural Causes At Age 88

Source: David Howells / Getty Frank Lucas Dead At Age 88 The man who Denzel Washington immortalized on the silver screen has gone home to glory. According to Rolling Stone , heroin kingpin Frank Lucas died of natural causes yesterday as confirmed by his nephew Aldwan Lassiter. For those who haven’t seen American Gangster, Lucas is a legend of sorts. He is credited as the visionary behind the “Golden Triangle” cartel that imported heroin from Asia inside the coffins of dead Vietnam soldiers. “Who the hell is gonna look in a dead soldier’s coffin,” Lucas said told New York in the 2000 article “The Return of Superfly.” “We had him make up 28 copies of the government coffins . . . except we fixed them up with false bottoms, big enough to load up with six, maybe eight kilos.” (Lucas’ coffin claim, however, came into question following the release of the movie.) The DEA and NYPD collaborated to bring Lucas down in 1975. The drug czar would eventually go on to snitch on a LOT of people as he turned state’s evidence The Drug Enforcement Agency and the New York Police Department ultimately ended Lucas’ reign in 1975, with Lucas receiving a 70-year prison sentence. However, Lucas later turned state’s witness and provided evidence that resulted in dozens of drug-related arrests. Lucas was released from prison in 1981 after his sentence was reduced to time served. Three years later, Lucas was again busted for a drug deal that violated his parole and spent seven years behind bars. Sterling Johnson, a former New York City special narcotics prosecutor, called Lucas’ operation “one of the most outrageous international dope-smuggling gangs ever . . . an innovator who got his own connection outside the U.S. and then sold the stuff himself in the street.” Source: David Howells / Getty We’re not sure if Frank Lucas is in Heaven or Hell but rest in peace, Black man.

Former MLB Star Carl Crawford Signed Megan Thee Stallion

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Megan Thee Stallion ‘s meteoric rise to rap stardom has only been in the making for a couple of years, and the fanfare is well deserved on the heels of her debut studio album, Fever . The Houston rapper owes some of her success to former MLB player Carl Crawford, who explained recently that he signed her to his entertainment imprint. TMZ Sports reports : If you’re not familiar with Megan (shame on you) she and her hottie army are taking over the rap game with her debut album, “Fever,” which just dropped … and everyone from Drake to Juicy J is showing love. Turns out Megan had a big-time ally helping her get to the top … she’s signed to Crawford’s label, 1501 Certified Ent, and when we talked to Carl he told us it’s not a one-off, he’s in the game to stay. “We got Megan and we think she’s gonna be a huge star. And, not only her … we’re hoping we have other people come up through the system as well.” Crawford played 15 years in the MLB making over $179 million in his career — and he tells us he’s spent a big part of his fortune to launch his record label. “It was at least 7 figures, I’ll tell you that. And, that’s because I built a studio and all that other stuff.” Crawford, a Houston native like Hot Girl Meg, was a four-time MLB All-Star, winning both the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award in 2010. — Photo: Getty

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 Trailer: The Battle is Here!

For our money, the first two episodes of Game of Thrones Season 8 are among the strongest the show has ever delivered. Characters being united for the first time in years, other major figures from disparate storylines crossing paths for the very first time, stirring tales of breastfeeding from giants … these past two installments had everything! Except, of course, for epic battle scenes — a fact that's very much to the chagrin of some viewers. But grab your dragonglass and fortify your courage with a big sip from Tormund's drinking horn, because it's about to go down in a major way! Yes, following seven-plus seasons of intense build-up, the Night King is about to arrive at Winterfell. It's about to begin — the war that fans have been waiting for since those poor Night's Watch randos encountered a pack of White Walkers in the very scene of the GoT pilot. And it's a safe bet that lots of people are about to die. As for predictions — well, GoT traffics in surprises, and we know better than to presume we have any idea what's in store. That being said, Brienne and Arya are both fan favorites who enjoyed life-changing milestone moments Sunday night, and you know how this show likes to rip away any shred of happiness (both ours and the characters). Oh, and not only did Bran just tell someone his life story — always a good sign that a character is next on the chopping block — the Night King is his number one nemesis, and it's easy to imagine him sacrificing himself for to save mankind. Anyway, the one thing we know for sure is that this episode is certain to satisfy those who complained about the lack of sword-swinging in the previous installments. In fact, it's looking like this one will be a wall-to-wall action episode, a la “The Watchers on the Wall” and “The Battle of the Bastards.” Budget-wise, we've come a long way since Tyrion missed the entirety of Season 1's Battle of the Whispering Wood after suffering a conveniently-timed bump on the head. Of course, it's looking like the action will take place entirely at Winterfell at night, so turn up the brightness on your screen before watching this preview. As for the actual episode, you may encounter a different sort of visual obstacle. It might be tough to see through the tears you'll be crying when characters you've been cheering on for the better part of a decade are mercilessly cut down by the undead.

Justin Bieber Lavishes Praise Upon Boobs of Hailey Baldwin

Hailey Baldwin gushed about how proud she is of husband Justin Bieber . Now, the Biebs is paying her back by proclaiming to the entire world how much he loves her. Well, how much he loves her boobs, anyway. Coachella 2019 had its second weekend of fun, music, partying, and financially contributing to further enrich a wealthy homophobe. (Sorry to be no fun, but it’s important to think about where you spend your money when it comes to luxuries, and music festivals are a luxury) Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin have been friends for ages, and not only because they’re both gorgeous models. They’ve been partying at Coachella and taking the snaps to prove it. After one particular photo that Kendall shared on social media, Hailey’s husband is taking note. As you can see, Hailey’s assets are on full display. The push-up effect of the corset that she’s wearing is such that she’s in great danger of a nip slip. Justin didn’t seem to mind the look. In fact, he took to the comments to very publicly praise his wife’s glorious cleavage. “Baes boobs,” Justin wrote, followed by a pair of fire emojis. Justin obviously loves his bae for more than just her out-of-this-world boobs. In fact, he recently penned a romantic poem to his wife. He followed up that poetry with prose as he continued to gush about his gorgeous partner. “Things all around us Just get better with time,” Justin observed. He affirmed: “I fall more in love with you every day!” “You have walked hand and hand with me,” Justin praised. He noted that she has done so “as I continue to get my emotions, mind, body and soul in tact!” We’re sure that he meant to write intact, but was too overcome with affection. We all make typos every day. Zero judgment. “You have given me so much strength, support , encouragement, and joy,” the Biebs gushed. “I just wanted to publicly honor you,” he explained of his Instagram post. “And,” Justin added, he wanted to “remind you that the best is yet to come!” Justin concluded his post: “Have a great shoot today my love!” Hailey responded to Justin’s very public declaration with one of her own — minus the poem. “I love you,” Hailey’s post began. “You are an incredible man,” she praised. “You make me a better human being.” “You make me happier than I’ve ever been,” Hailey expressed in her Instagram tribute to the Biebs. Hailey added that she is “Insanely proud of who you are” “And,” she continued, she is immensely rpoud of “who you’re becoming.” “I love you more every single day,” she affirmed. They are both very cute and clearly in love. And, despite a lot of people’s perceptions that they rushed into an engagement and marriage for the wrong reasons, they seem to be good for each other. And Hailey isn’t the only one who brings hotness to the table. Some photos that unfortunately leaked in 2016 confirmed to the world the rumor that the Biebs smuggles a python in his pants wherever he goes. And he may be covered in 100 hours worth of tattoos , but his famous bubble butt was pristine the last time that he showed it off. So if you don’t “get” why they’re compatible, just appreciate that they’re appreciating each other’s dynamite bods and don’t worry about it.

Adele and Simon Konecki: It’s Over!

Sad news, everyone. Adele — beautiful, amazing, insanely talented and beloved Adele — is getting divorced. Yes, she and Simon Konecki, her partner for the better part of this decade and her husband of two years, are splitting up. The news definitely comes out of nowhere, but then again, these two have always been exceedingly private. They began dating over seven years ago , as we first saw Adele with the philanthropist in January of 2017. Things moved very fast from there, because in October, they welcomed their first child together , a son they named Angelo. Remember, they’re so private that they didn’t even announce the kid’s name, we just figured it out when she was seen rocking an “Angelo” necklace. At some point (seriously, we really know so little about their relationship), they got married. It’s believed this happened sometime in late 2016 or early 2017, because in January of 2017, they were spotted wearing wedding bands. At the Grammy Awards that February, she referred to him as her husband , and a month later, she finally confirmed during a concert that they were husband and wife . “That feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth,” she said then, “and I am addicted to that feeling.” “Obviously I can’t go through with those feelings because I’m married now,” she added. “I’ve found my next person.” In hindsight, that’s definitely a weird comment — was she admitting that she had been falling for other people? Also, don’t people in such committed relationships refer to their partner as just their “person,” not their next person? Well, either way, it’s over now. Adele’s rep made a statement , and in it, he confirmed “Adele and her partner have separated.” “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy.” “There will be no further comment,” the statement concluded. If you keep up closely with Adele, this news may not come as such a shock. Last month, she was in New York, partying with Jennifer Lawrence. And while that alone wouldn’t have been a tip-off that something was amiss, the fact that she was also photographed going into a recording studio without her wedding ring was a pretty big sign. Yep, nobody does breakup music like Adele, and it looks like there’s a definite possibility of getting a new song or two soon. Or maybe even a whole album. Obviously it’s not like we’re glad she’s getting divorced so we can get some incredible breakup album, but in situations like this, you have to look at the silver lining, right? Here’s hoping Adele and Simon really are able to get along with each other for the sake of their son. What a sad, sad time. View Slideshow: 15 Reasons Why Adele Would Make the PERFECT Drinking Buddy
