Spartacus star Andy Whitfield’s journey after being diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is chronicled in the documentary Be Here Now from Oscar nominee Lilibet Foster (Speaking in Strings). Grab some tissues before watching the trailer for the film which was made with the full support of Whitfield and his family. The documentary was funded via Kickstarter, earning the distinction of being the third most successful documentary funded by that method. Tugg and Be Here Now Productions are releasing Be Here Now in theaters beginning on April 8, 2016.
The Plot: An inspiring love story between television superstar, Andy Whitfield, of Starz’s Spartacus fame and his charismatic wife, who together take on the most heroic role he’s ever had to play. They generously trusted Oscar® Nominated filmmaker Lilibet Foster to follow them on their quest to heal Andy from a cancer diagnosis, in the hopes that by sharing their journey, they may help to inspire others with challenges and dreams. And, it’s their courage, humor and love, that reminds the audience that the journey is more important than the destination.

The second part of Marvel’s Daredevil season two’s trailer finds Daredevil (Charlie Cox) face-to-face with Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal). Frank Castle is seeking revenge for the murder of his family, killing off gang members in Hell’s Kitchen and making the streets run red with blood.
The Punisher doesn’t take half measures to stop the bad guys, as he accuses Daredevil of doing, and instead hunts them down and kills them, effectively albeit brutally sending a message to criminals who make their home in Hell’s Kitchen that there’s nowhere to hide. The new Netflix trailer is in support of the March 18, 2016 premiere of all 13 one-hour episodes of the series.
In addition to Cox and Bernthal, the cast of Daredevil season two includes Elodie Yung as Elektra Natchios, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson, Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple, and Scott Glenn as Stick. Marco Ramirez (Sons Of Anarchy, Fear The Walking Dead) and Douglas Petrie (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, American Horror Story) are the showrunners and executive produce Daredevil along with Marvel’s Head of Television Jeph Loeb.
The Plot:
Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios.

Demi Lovato’s official music video for the single ‘Stone Cold’ is raw, emotional, and moving. The single, off of Lovato’s Confident album, is heartbreaking to listen to and breathtaking to watch as Lovato pours so much emotional truth into each word she sings. The video features Lovato on a snowy mountaintop singing her heart out as well as drowning her tears in a bathtub. The video doesn’t need special effects, background dancers, or any other elements to distract from the focus on Lovato as she sings about a former boyfriend who’s moved on to someone new.
Confident is Demi Lovato’s fifth studio album and was released in October 2015. Lovato co-wrote most of the songs and teamed up with Iggy Azalea and Sirah on two of the album’s tracks. The first single from the album, ‘Cool for the Summer,’ made it to #11 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The second single, ‘Confident,’ earned the #21 spot on Billboard’s chart.
Dark, a supernatural drama, will mark the first German production from Netflix. The streaming service/internet TV network announced details on the German series which will premiere in 2017. The series comes from director Baran bo Odar (Who am I) and writer Jantje Friese and is described as a family saga with a supernatural twist. Season one will consist of 10 one-hour episodes.
Dark takes place in a German town “in present day where the disappearance of two young children exposes the double lives and fractured relationships among four families.” Discussing the series, Odar said, “We’re very excited to shoot the first Netflix original series made in Germany. To be part of the family that brought amazing shows like House of Cards and Bloodline to its audience is a huge honor. As Dark will be an ensemble mystery series, I especially look forward to discovering and working with new German talent. This will be a fantastic ride and I can’t wait to get started.”
“The way Dark was embraced by Netflix was extraordinary. We’re so happy to be making this show in Germany for Netflix subscribers around the world to enjoy,” said writer Friese. “We couldn’t be happier to team up again with Quirin Berg, Max Wiedemann and Justyna Müsch as production partners, who have already shown with Who Am I that they can take an idea the extra mile.”
“Dark is an incredible German story that will appeal to a global audience,” stated Erik Barmack, Vice President International Originals at Netflix. “Bo and Jantje are creative talents that have developed great projects in both Berlin and Hollywood, and we are thrilled to be working with them on our first original series entirely authored, shot and produced in Germany.”
