Cover Reveal: The Wheel Of Osheim (The Red Queen's War Book 3) By Mark Lawrence, Coming Out June 2016

The Liar's Key by Mark Lawrence left me on a great fix. Not because I disliked it and was disappointed on how the story turned out at the end, but because it was arguably the best book the author has written so far. It is so good I am wanting... I am clamouring for more [mis]adventures of Jalan Kendeth and Snorri Ver Snagason.

We already have a foreshadowing of what the Wheel of Osheim might be, as we were given a glimpse of said artifact (or location) in the second book of the series. But only the full serving of the final book in The Red Queen's War series will fill in and satisfy the chasm that gaped within my being...

Check out the official cover of The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence.

The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence

Synopsis

From the international bestselling author of the Broken Empire Trilogy, the thrilling conclusion to the Red Queen’s War...

Mark Lawrence’s “epic fantasy” (The Washington Post) continues as a reluctant prince returns from the bowels of Hell to engage in his greatest battle yet—among the living and the dead.

All the horrors of Hell stand between Snorri Ver Snagason and the rescue of his family, if indeed the dead can be rescued. For Jalan Kendeth, getting back out alive and with Loki’s key is all that matters. Loki’s creation can open any lock, any door, and it may also be the key to Jalan’s fortune back in the living world.

Jalan plans to return to the three w’s that have been the core of his idle and debauched life: wine, women, and wagering. Fate however has other plans, larger plans. The Wheel of Osheim is turning ever faster, and it will crack the world unless it’s stopped. When the end of all things looms, and there’s nowhere to run, even the worst coward must find new answers. Jalan and Snorri face many dangers, from the corpse hordes of the Dead King to the many mirrors of the Lady Blue, but in the end, fast or slow, the Wheel of Osheim always pulls you back. In the end it’s win or die.

The Wheel of Osheim by Mark Lawrence will be released on June 7, 2016.

'Independence Day: Resurgence' Returns Back To Earth With A New Trailer

The success of Independence Day in 1996 warranted a sequel. At least that's how I think sequels work. Every fan is expecting it, but it didn't come after two decades.

Independence Day: Resurgence

Roland Emmerich returns to take the directorial seat. Of course, there's a new set of cast compared from the original movie and they are Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe, and Sela Ward.

We always knew they were coming back. After Independence Day redefined the event movie genre, the next epic chapter delivers global spectacle on an unimaginable scale. Using recovered alien technology, the nations of Earth have collaborated on an immense defense program to protect the planet. But nothing can prepare us for the aliens’ advanced and unprecedented force. Only the ingenuity of a few brave men and women can bring our world back from the brink of extinction.

Cover Reveal: 'Soldier' By Julie Kagawa (3rd Book In The Talon Saga)

I haven't read any Julie Kagawa book yet, meaning I am new to the The Talon Saga. I've been dying to buy the books in the series since I first saw the flaming color theme of the cover of Talon, the first book in the series... It caught my attention immediately. But I hesitated, because I remembered the adage "Do not judge a book by its cover."

I liked the concept of the story because it reminded me of Jason Hightman's The Saint of Dragons, which I liked very much but only spanned of 2 books and I was looking for more... So fast forward to the recent years I am really itching to buy the aforementioned series. Maybe the release of the cover of the third book in the series called Soldier will finally make me. There are hardcover copies of the first two books in a nearby bookstore after all. Will this be a start of a new intimate relation, or will this fall to yet another unfulfilled love or infatuation?

Check out the cover of Soldier by Julie Kagawa.

Soldier by Julie Kagawa

Synopsis

A fighter dedicated to saving humankind from dragons in strictest secrecy.

That was what Garret Xavier Sebastian thought he was part of as a soldier of the Order of St. George. What he learned from a fiery dragon hatchling twisted all he believed in and set him on a collision course with certain death-but not without a chance to put things right.

Betrayed and on the run again, Ember and rogue dragon Riley discover an unthinkable truth about Talon and St. George. They'll need Garret's skills and insider knowledge of the Order to negotiate an impossible deal-and if they fail, there will be no way to stop all-out war.

Soldier by Julie Kagawa will be released on April 26, 2016.

Synopsis

Disney’s The BFG tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG, while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler and Fleshlumpeater on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary, that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.

Is Angelina Jolie's 'Cleopatra' A Good Idea?

Angelina Jolie
For years now, we've been hearing rumors of a film to be titled Cleopatra, produced by and starring Angelina Jolie. It's always seemed like a perfect role for Jolie given that her exotic beauty and natural cat eyes seem to fit right into our semi-contrived vision of an ancient Egyptian queen. Although, the actress already made use of that natural fit during her bizarre turn as Alexander the Great's mother in Alexander (300 years and the Mediterranean Sea separate Alexander from Cleopatra, but there's likely very little difference between the two settings and eras through a Hollywood lens).

Regardless of the seemingly natural fit, Jolie's Cleopatra has gone through a lot of turmoil in its early development. It was a victim of the infamous Sony hack, ran into various conflicts regarding the script and a potential director, and possibly fell victim to a lack of public interest. And with no firm confirmation on when, or even if, the project will still be made, it's now fair to wonder if it's even a good idea.

Can Jolie Get Over The Sony Hack?

The so-called "Sony hack" that leaked countless studio emails and damaged the reputations of half the people in Hollywood produced a lot of dirt regarding Jolie's back-and-forths with studio executives regarding the production of Cleopatra. The worst of it was that one email described Jolie as a "minimally talented spoiled brat," but the overall impression was that Amy Pascal (then the co-chairman of Sony Pictures) and producer Scott Rudin were having a hard time prioritizing the project the way Jolie wanted them to. In particular, there was a great deal of conflict over Jolie's insistence on David Fincher as the director (though judging by Gawker's account of the leaks she also offered to "get on a plane and beg" Martin Scorsese to do it).

Just last month, a report at Guelph Mercury indicated that Jolie is over the Sony hack, and it appears that her relationship with Pascal hasn't been damaged. Jolie and Pascal have both implied that they're too used to scrutiny and criticism to be bothered by email leaks, and Jolie claims her first instinct upon news of said leaks was to make sure Pascal was okay. All of that seems to bode well for a renewed effort to get Cleopatra made. But that may not be the whole story.

Do People Care About The Subject Matter?

Cleopatra sounds like a box-office draw because a lot of historical epics have made a lot of money and Jolie is a big name, but one has to wonder if ancient Egypt is in the midst of losing some of its allure. Just last year Exodus: Gods and Kings had a humiliating release despite the star power of Christian Bale and Joel Edgerton. And next year's Gods Of Egypt with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Gerard Butler is already the subject of "whitewashing" criticism and mockery over a goofy preview.

Then again, the actual figure of Cleopatra still seems to inspire interest as one of history's most fascinating queens. Only a few years ago Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff produced a book called Cleopatra: A Life, which The New York Times praised as a more accurate and less mythological look at the character. And online, the Egyptian queen has turned into a popular subject for casino and arcade games. At Gala Bingo, alongside a number of different deposit promotions that attract new users, the games themselves succeed by way of interesting themes. The presence of titles like Cleopatra and Cleopatra's Chest indicates the queen still serves as a popular theme, if in a fictionalized manner.

Has Angelina's Box Office Clout Subsided?

Angelina Jolie is still one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, and we almost take it for granted that her name on a poster can sell a film. That said, it seems as if she's cooled off a little bit in recent years. So what do the ticket sales say?

Judging by Box Office Mojo's records, Jolie's most recent film—By The Sea, which she wrote and directed, and starred in alongside husband Brad Pitt—was a pretty huge flop. Working with a $10 million production budget, it was more of an artistic project than an intended money maker, but with a worldwide gross just under $2 million, it would be understandable if studios were a little hesitant to work with Jolie. Then again, 2014's Maleficent earned over $750 million with a $180 million budget, and 2010's Salt made about $180 million despite mediocre reviews. It's worth noting that both films are expected to have sequels. Overall, it's a little dramatic to suggest Jolie doesn't still attract an audience, though she may not be quite the sure thing her reputation suggests.

All things considered, it seems there's still pretty good potential for this project to be made. We don't know who will direct or when it might be made, but Jolie still has a relationship with Sony, Cleopatra still interests people, and the box-office potential is there.

Synopsis

Girls—their vulnerability, strength, and passion to belong—are at the heart of this stunning first novel for readers of Jeffrey Eugenides’ The Virgin Suicides and Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad.

Northern California, during the violent end of the 1960s. At the start of summer, a lonely and thoughtful teenager, Evie Boyd, sees a group of girls in the park, and is immediately caught by their freedom, their careless dress, their dangerous aura of abandon. Soon, Evie is in thrall to Suzanne, a mesmerizing older girl, and is drawn into the circle of a soon-to-be infamous cult and the man who is its charismatic leader. Hidden in the hills, their sprawling ranch is eerie and run down, but to Evie, it is exotic, thrilling, charged—a place where she feels desperate to be accepted. As she spends more time away from her mother and the rhythms of her daily life, and as her obsession with Suzanne intensifies, Evie does not realize she is coming closer and closer to unthinkable violence, and to that moment in a girl’s life when everything can go horribly wrong.

Emma Cline’s remarkable debut novel is gorgeously written and spellbinding, with razor-sharp precision and startling psychological insight. The Girls is a brilliant work of fiction—and an indelible portrait of girls, and of the women they become.

The Girls by Emma Cline will be released on June 14, 2016.
