US group plans major film studios near London
LONDON — US group Blackhall Studios on Wednesday said it planned to build new film studios west of London, creating more than 3,000 jobs.Blackhall president Nick Smith said initial investment of £150 million ($195 million, 180 million euros) into the UK economy "will create a new powerhouse of creative production and educational achievement, as well as generating up to 3,000 new jobs"."Britain has an enviable array of film-making talent, but the industry is short of high-quality studio facilities capable of catering for the new and emerging technologies that will form the core of television and film production in the future," he said.Atlanta-based Blackhall, producer of current box office hit "Jumanji: The Next Level", said it hoped the studios would be...

Weinstein jury to begin deliberations
NEW YORK — Jurors will begin deliberating the fate of ex-Hollywood titan Harvey Weinstein on Tuesday in his high-profile sex crimes trial that marked a watershed moment in the #MeToo movement.The disgraced movie mogul, 67, faces life in prison if the jury of seven men and five women convict him of predatory sexual assault charges in New York.More than 80 women have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct since allegations against him ignited the #MeToo global reckoning against men abusing positions of power in October 2017.But the jury is considering charges related to just two: ex-actress Jessica Mann and former production assistant Mimi Haleyi, with many claims too old to prosecute.Mann, 34, says Weinstein raped her in March 2013, while Haleyi alleges he forcibly performed oral sex on...

DUBAI — Daredevil Vince Reffet has soared into the skies above Dubai in the latest "Jetman" stunt, taking off from the ground and climbing to 1,800 metres (nearly 6,000 feet) in a feat reminiscent of Marvel's "Iron Man" and hailed as a world first.Reffet and his collaborators, known as "Jetmen", have literally scaled new heights with the help of jetpacks and carbon-fire wings, staging a series of aerial displays that send them tearing through the skies at breakneck speed.In an awe-inspiring flight captured on viral video, the Frenchman on Friday hovered five meters above the crystal waters of Dubai's coast before shooting off into the air and skimming the city's skyline."We accomplished another world first in 100 percent autonomous human...

Morocco fortress village hopes to draw 'Game of Thrones' fans
AIT-BEN-HADDOU, Morocco — Millions worldwide may have seen the desert fortress in the hit fantasy series "Game of Thrones", but fewer know they can visit the Moroccan village of Ait-Ben-Haddou.The fortified old settlement at the foot of the majestic Atlas mountains enchanted audiences in the HBO series and also served as a dusty backdrop in Ridley Scott's epic swords-and-sandals film "Gladiator".But unlike other famous locations from movie and television history, this UNESCO World Heritage Site has so far missed out on a mass influx of tourism — something some of its inhabitants are eager to change."Several people have told me that they came here to see the filming location of 'Game of Thrones'," said Ahmed Baabouz, a local tour guide....

Eilish to perform Bond ballad at British pop music's big night
LONDON — Teen sensation Billie Eilish is set to premiere her new James Bond theme tune at the Brit Awards on Tuesday, while rappers Stormzy and Dave and indie newcomer Lewis Capaldi will vie for glory at British pop's biggest night.But the build-up to the show has been overshadowed by criticism of the lack of female nominees in mixed gender categories, with just four women honored in 25 spots.The disproportionately male shortlists, unveiled last month before the ceremony at London's O2 Arena, were branded an "absolute disgrace" by one music critic.It comes despite the Brits' voting academy undergoing a major overhaul in 2017 to make it more gender balanced and diverse, with hundreds of new members joining the nominating pool.Veteran rocker Rod Stewart is set to...

LONDON — The management team of British TV presenter Caroline Flack, who committed suicide on Saturday, has accused prosecutors of pursuing a "show trial" over domestic abuse claims against the "vulnerable" star."In recent months Caroline had been under huge pressure because of an ongoing case and potential trial which has been well reported," said Francis Ridley, of Money Talent Management, which looked after the 40-year-old host."The Crown Prosecution Service should look at themselves today and how they pursued a show trial that was not only without merit but not in the public interest.
