By Creative Media Times

Sony Pictures Releasing

The trailer for Elizabeth Banks’s upcoming action comedy Charlie’s Angels was just released, featuring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska in roles of savvy crime-fighting trio.

There’s plenty of glam and action in the trailer, and lots of outfits. Along with the fast paced action, we see our leads in various disguises and costume changes.

“We’re gonna need some wigs, toys, clothes,” says Banks.

Naomi Scott is certainly riding high this year with the recent, somewhat unexpected success of “Aladdin” this summer.

Banks wrote, produced and directed the film. Along with Djimon Hounsou and Patrick Stewart, she is also one of the multiple mentors of the women named “Bosley”.

A reboot of the 1970s TV series, as well as the 2000 and 2003 feature movie versions, the film features songs by Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey and Miley Cyrus. Sam laflin, Noah Centineo and Luis Gerardo Méndez also co-star.

Sony Pictures Releasing is set to release “Charlie’s Angels” on November 15, 2019.

Pink Floyd Guitarist Auctions Off Guitars, Raises $21.5 Million For Climate Change Charity

By Eric Gasa

David Gilmore, credited for his guitar work on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of The Moon, has auctioned off his immense 126 guitar collection towards fighting climate change and hopefully preventing some dark times here on earth. In an eight-hour auction at Christie’s Auction House in New York, 2,000 bidders from 66 countries participated in owning a piece of rock history for the greater good of the planet.

The auction house says it raised $21.5 million on Thursday, including a whopping $3,975,000 for Gilmore’s famed 1969 Fender Stratocaster known as the ‘Black Strat’. The Fender classic sold to Indianapolis Colts owner, Jim Irsay and set a new world record for a guitar sold at auction.
Gilmore’s ‘Black Strat’ was used in the recording of Floyd’s most seminal work including The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall.

“Either we choose to go on as a civilization, or we don’t. The choice really is that simple,” said Gilmore on a video posted on his Twitter, later calling the global climate crisis “the greatest challenge humanity will ever face…”

Proceeds went to ClientEarth, a nonprofit organization fighting climate change through international laws and raising public awareness.

“This gift is a phenomenal boost to our work…It will allow us to play an even greater role in addressing the climate crisis and securing a healthy planet for future generations,” said ClientEarth CEO, James Thornton in an official statement.

97%-98% of climate scientists support the consensus that humans contribute to climate change and that carbon emissions are leading to the warming greenhouse effect. An official UN Climate Panel in 2014 stated that the affects of climate change will become irreversible within the next decades if proper steps are not taken.

“I hope that the sale of these guitars will help ClientEarth in their actions to use the law to bring about real change,” the famed guitarist said, “We need a civilized world that goes on for all our grandchildren and beyond, in which these guitars can be played, and songs can be sung.”

Blink-182 Debuts Single “Generational Divide”

By Creative Media Times

Grammy-nominated rock band Blink-182 has released a blistering new single, “Generational Divide”, from their currently untitled, highly-anticipated forthcoming eighth studio album.

The track clocks at a fast and frenetic 50 seconds. “Is it better, is it better now? / Are we better, are we better now?,” Mark Hoppus repeatedly sings alongside explosive drums and guitars.

The punk-influenced single was unveiled with a music video that was directed by Kevin Kerslake. The high-energy video, shot through convulsive camera movements, shows the band playing in a room covered with collage of posters. See video below.

Last month, the band also shared a new song, “Blame It On My Youth,” released through Columbia Records. The single was announced just after the band revealed that they are about embark on a co-headlining tour with rapper Lil Wayne. The trek is set to commence on June 27 in Columbus, Ohio and will run until September.

The band’s last studio album, ‘California’, was released in 2016.

“Generational Divide” is available on all streaming platforms.

Last May, Sheeran announced a collaborative compilation album that he has been working on during his recent world tour.

This album went on to become “No. 6 Collaborations Project,” his fourth studio album set for release next month, and on Wednesday Sheeran announced the album tracklist.

The album is set to feature Sheeran collaborating with an eclectic list of artists including Travis Scott, Eminem, Camila Cabello, 50 Cent, Cardi B, Ella Mai, Young Thug, Bruno Mars and many more.

Sheeran’s most recent song with Justin Bieber ‘I Don’t Care’, is also set to appear on the Collaborations Project album. Last May, a strange but amusing video for the song was dropped on YouTube.

“I am very happy to share with you the full list of artists I’ve been working with on my new album No.6 Collaborations Project,” Sheeran announced.

The tracklist demonstrates Sheeran’s star-power and ability to pull in some of the biggest pop and hip-hop names right now. Though the English singer, songwriter admits his admiration towards them was his inspiration.

“I’m a huge fan of all the artists, whether I’ve been following their work since the beginning or playing their album in my car. I’ve always believed that you should work with people who inspire you and every single collaborator on the new album brings something special to each track.”

A follow up to his Grammy winning album ÷ (“divide”), No.6 Collaborations Project is set to be released by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records on July 12, 2019.

It looks like Marvel is set to return to San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H this year, Deadline is reporting.

Fans may remember that Marvel Studios skipped the stage last year, the first time this has happened since 2015, just a few months after the release of Infinity War, president of Marvel Studios stating that they didn’t have much to show.

The previous year, in 2017, the studio gave fans a taste of its upcoming blockbusters “Black Panther,” “Thor: Ragnorok,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Ant-Man and the Wasp” and “Captain Marvel.”

Just after the release of this year’s Avengers: Engdame, and the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home, marking the end of Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase 3, fans are already wondering: What’s Next?

Though not a lot of details were revealed, Marvel is clearly confident enough to come back and showcase projects that are set to follow Endgame. We may possibly hear announcements and details regarding the studio’s upcoming official slate of films and release dates to hopefully give us a clue of what’s in store for fans in the future.

There is also Black Widow that we know is already in production, so we are most likely to learn more about the film’s production details, release date and (hopefully) even a clip or two. The film is set to bring back Scarlett Johansson as the title character/Natasha Romanoff, 

There is also Disney Plus, Disney’s upcoming streaming service, and how it may potentially platform Marvel characters into upcoming movies and shows.

San Diego Comic-Con is set to take place from July 18 – 21, begining with a Preview Night on Wednesday, July 17.
