Elton John has contributed a lot of great songs in the music industry and can be considered an icon. Thus having a film based on his life means it can be a musical with his songs as an integral part it making it come true.

Saving Flora - A Modern Tale Of Animal Rescue

We hardly get to see live animals in films which in a way makes us more appreciative and more aware of their welfare. Though there have been a lot of movies like for dogs and cats, but how about the biggest mammal on land?

This is what Saving Flora wants to share to movie goers. Made by Synkronized Films, it was written by Mark Taylor and David Moss. It tells the story of a retired circus elephant named Flora, which due to old age, illness, and other costs, drove its owner and ringmaster Henry (David Arquette) to consider putting the animal down. 

However since the act would break the heart of her daughter Dawn, played by Jenna Ortega. Because the elephant was very important for her, this triggered her to find a way to save the elephant by escaping the circus and go for miles until they will find a shelter or sanctuary for Flora. The journey becomes an adventure of the lifetime and even meeting a new friend on the way, and a hunter thirsty to get her as his trophy.

"Far From Home" -- A New World, A New "Spider-Man"?

Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man: Far From Home brings together humor, heart, scale, and everything you love about Spider-Man and the MARVEL Cinematic Universe (MCU).

(Watch the film’s new TV Spot at https://youtu.be/CVFS2OPJoSg.)

Says director Jon Watts, who previously helmed the blockbuster Spider-Man: Homecoming and, before that, the acclaimed independent drama Cop Car: “We were always looking for a way to deal with some very emotional themes while remaining true to the tone we set in Spider-Man: Homecoming.”

“This next Spider-Man adventure takes place soon after and fits right in to the events of Avengers: Endgame,” says producer Kevin Feige.  “Peter and the world are dealing with the loss of Iron Man, and Peter just wants to take a break to be a regular teenager.  But Spider-Man can’t be a regular teenager – he has responsibilities toward the world, especially now.  So when Nick Fury tracks him down on his summer vacation to deal with a new threat, that’s what Peter will have to face – is he ready to step up?”

The Conjuring Universe headliners Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga reprise their roles as demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren in New Line Cinema’s new horror thriller “Annabelle Comes Home.” 

Wilson says he and co-star Farmiga “love playing these roles because we know we’re going to get to do some high drama with some high level scares, dealing with some pretty dark things, but also find all those moments to show that other side to this couple.  In this film especially, our part is largely that of loving parents to Judy.”
