Tomorrow is National Spider-Man Day.

August 1 is the day we celebrate one of the most iconic comic book superheroes of all time, Spider-Man!

Spider-Man entered the comic book universe in August 1962 and has been a major player ever since. The groundbreaking story turned heads when it featured an awkward, antisocial teenager as its superhero — a description typically associated with sidekicks. But this bold move turned out to be a boon for creator Stan Lee, who touched the hearts of a generation of kids who felt lonely, rejected or had difficulty making friends. Spider-Man proved anyone can be a superhero and even after 57 years, he’s as popular as ever. 

National Today — the internet's #1 authority on holidays — suggests having a Spider-Man movie marathon to celebrate. Depending how far back in time you want to go and which producers/directors you prefer, you could easily spend an entire day watching movie adaptations of Spider-Man comics. 

Never steal a man’s second chance. Watch Liam Neeson in the new trailer for HONEST THIEF.

Vance) on a road trip from Chicago across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father Montrose (Michael Kenneth Williams).

Director Billy Wilder’s Cinematic Masterpiece Celebrates Its 70th Anniversary SUNSET BOULEVARD Ready For Its Close-Up on Digital, Blu-ray™ & DVD

An enthralling portrait of Hollywood and the dark side of fame, the acclaimed and enduring classic SUNSET BOULEVARD celebrates its 70^th anniversary this year.  Directed and co-written by the legendary Billy Wilder, SUNSET BOULEVARD was nominated for 11 Academy Awards®, including Best Picture, and won three for Best Art Direction, Best Music and Best Writing.*

Originally released in August of 1950,SUNSET BOULEVARD was among the first films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry and is in the top 20 of the AFI’s Greatest American Films of All Time.

Gloria Swanson and William Holden give riveting performances as two of the silver screen’s most memorable characters: the aging silent film queen Norma Desmond and struggling young screenwriter Joe Gillis.  The bizarre and twisted story that unfolds between them is a brilliant combination of noir, black comedy and character study, as well as a scathing and pitch-black commentary on Hollywood.

SUNSET BOULEVARD also features masterful performances by Erich von Stroheim as Desmond’s ex-husband/butler and Nancy Olson as the wholesome script reader who falls for Gillis, along with cameo appearances by director Cecil B. DeMille, gossip columnist Hedda Hopper, and silent film actor Buster Keaton. 

SUNSET BOULEVARD is available now to rent or buy on Digital platforms includingApple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu,Google Play, Microsoft Movies & TV, FandangoNOW, and more.  The film is also available on Blu-ray and DVD from Paramount Home Entertainment.

Solstice Studios Leads the Re-Opening of U.S. Movie Theaters on August 21st With the Release of Action Thriller Unhinged starring Academy Award Winner Russell Crowe.

 

Solstice Studios Leads the Re-Opening of U.S. Movie Theaters on August 21st With the Release of Action Thriller Unhinged starring Academy Award Winner Russell Crowe.

 

We are excited to announce that Unhinged will open August 21st, 2020, making it the first new wide release in American movie theaters since they shut down in March due to Covid-19. 

 

While our release date plans for Unhinged have changed a few times due to the dynamic nature of reopening movie theaters in the midst of a pandemic, our desire to give moviegoers a safe viewing experience, and our ongoing commitment to our exhibition partners - large and small - have remained unwavering. 

 

We know that theaters won't be open in every city or county when we launch. However, we anticipate that the vast majority of movie theaters will be open and ready to meet what nationwide polls consistently show is substantial pent-up audience demand to see new movies in theaters.  

 

That said, no opening in this time period will be largely about the opening weekend. A significant number of additional theaters plan to open in our second week, and with a relatively light schedule of competitive films, the expectation is that "Unhinged" will open more modestly but stay in theaters longer.

 

Moviegoers have expressed a clear desire to return to theaters this summer (80% say they will definitely attend), while making it equally clear that they want the experience to be both comfortable and safe. Our partners in exhibition have answered this call by employing advanced sterilization and filtration methods, social distanced seating, no touch payment systems, and many other measures to prioritize safety over all else.  Without their thorough commitment to safety, we would not be proceeding.  

 

John Fithian, President and CEO of the National Association of Theater Owners, stated, "On behalf of the U.S. exhibition community, I want to thank Solstice Studios for their commitment to bringing Unhinged to theaters, and for doing their part to help reinvigorate the theatrical movie business. Movie theaters are able to safely reopen with thorough health and safety measures in many states across the country, but if studios wait until 100% of the theaters are open, it will be too late. We need supporters like Solstice Studios, and Unhinged is the perfect film to kick off the opening of theaters to capture the last weeks of summer box office, followed by Tenet on Labor Day weekend and a strong fall schedule." 

 

On the International front, Unhinged opened number 1 in Germany on July 16th to a great result, and remained the number one film this past weekend.  Our global expansion continues in Australia, New Zealand and the UK this Thursday, 7/30. 

 

Solstice Studios was founded on the belief that nothing matches the theatrical moviegoing experience, and we are proud to play our part in bringing that beloved experience back to audiences across the globe.  Last year, the theatrical film industry grossed over $11 billion in the US alone.  Its revitalization is as important to our economy and the many local businesses that support and benefit from movie going, as it is to our culture and preserving our rich creative history as storytellers. Thank you for joining us in supporting our local movie theaters.

 

See you at the movies in August!

SAG-AFTRA MEMBERS TAKE A STAND, DECRY HATE CRIMES AGAINST ASIAN AMERICANS IN NEW VIDEO PSA

LOS ANGELES (July 21, 2020) – SAG-AFTRA today released a PSA featuring performers, broadcast journalists and social media influencers calling on all Americans to stand against the stigma, xenophobia and harassment related to COVID-19 that Asian Americans continue to experience. The video was inspired by the sudden spike in hate crimes against Asian Americans during the pandemic.

The full video can be viewed HERE and the transcript is below. Sixteen SAG-AFTRA members appear in the PSA: 

• Jon Jon Briones
• Christina Chang
• Juju Chang
• Joel De La Fuente
• Amy Hill
• James Hong
• Carrie Ann Inaba
• Ken Jeong
• Clyde Kusatsu
• Jodi Long
• Lucy Liu
• Tzi Ma
• Jeannie Mai
• Vincent Rodriguez III
• Iqbal Theba
• Hudson Yang

“As a global community, we are experiencing a historically difficult time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, instead of working together to get through this crisis, a few misguided people are looking for a scapegoat. We are still seeing a shocking increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans, including shunning, racial profiling, verbal harassment and even physical assault. This is a time of high stress, but that is no excuse for discriminatory behavior. We are all Americans and we are all in this together,” said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris:

“SAG-AFTRA is paying attention to those brave Asian American voices coming forward with their heart-wrenching experiences of harassment. We are listening to our members who have a stake in shaping a better world, free of discrimination and harassment, and we applaud Asian American activists, organizations and allies who are bringing attention to this issue. SAG-AFTRA stands with you,” said Ren Hanami, chair of the SAG-AFTRA National Asian Pacific American Media Committee.

“If you experience hateful, criminal behavior or witness it, please report it to your local law enforcement. Let’s stand up for each other,” added Carteris. 

The video premiered today during the union’s Race & Storytelling: Asian American Voiceslivestream panel discussion, which explored the ways in which better representation in the media and three-dimensional portrayals of Asian American Pacific Islander characters can counter stereotypes and result in larger societal impact. You can view the panel discussion HERE.  

The panel was moderated by Jeff Yang, CNN Opinion contributor and cohost of the They Call Us Bruce podcast. Panelists were: Clyde Kusatsu, actor, Dr. Ken; Christina Chang, actor, The Good Doctor; Juju Chang, broadcast journalist, ABC News’ Nightline; Parvesh Cheena, actor, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend; Leslie Woo, casting director, The Farewell; and Hudson Yang, actor, Fresh Off the Boat.

Video Transcript:

Lucy Liu: We’re living at a time when humanity matters most. Even though we’re physically apart, we must all come together as one.

Jon Jon Briones: Yes, we’re worried about our health. Our loved ones. Job prospects. Our nation.

Amy Hill: It’s a scary time. But we can’t let fear turn into hate.

Iqbal Theba: Far too many people are using this crisis as an excuse to forget reason and embrace racism.

Juju Chang: Asian Americans have been the victims of verbal and physical harassment during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Vincent Rodriguez III: Law enforcement has recorded a surge in hate crimes aimed at our community.

Christina Chang: Families have been shunned. Businesses vandalized. 

Hudson Yang: People attacked on public transportation and children bullied and called hurtful names.
 

Carrie Ann Inaba: Can you imagine what it’s like to face this kind of behavior at a time like this?
 

Joel de la Fuente: That’s what many of us – across America – are dealing with during this crisis. 

James Hong: And the number of incidents – they will rise, I’m afraid so.

Ken Jeong: We must all stop the stigma. We must all stop the xenophobia. We must all stop the hate.

Jodi Long: This crisis has revealed some of our strengths. 

Jeannie Mai: Communities virtually coming together to raise money, feed people, lift spirits up.

Tzi Ma: So, let’s make sure ending this behavior becomes one of our strengths. Stand up against racism when you see it. 

Clyde Kusatsu: Support local Asian American business owners. Take care of your neighbors. We will get through this with empathy, care and love for our fellow man, woman and child.

Juju Chang: As members of SAG-AFTRA and as Americans, we know our strength is in our diversity.

Christina Chang: We are always

Joel de la Fuente: Stronger

Group: Together.
