Jamjoom said: “This film is really about overcoming forces that use and manipulate resources in order to divide people and consolidate power. In that sense,...

Frank Henson, a legendary Hollywood stunt performer, has died at 83. Henson passed away at a hospital in Sussex, England from a short battle with an undisclosed illness, stunt historian Jon Auty told The Hollywood Reporter. His wife, Marion, and son, Mark, were at his bedside.
“He had a simple lesson in life – if someone is good to you, you should be good to them in return,” Auty told The Hollywood Reporter. “I will miss the times we had discussing his life and remembering the good times. Also, when he laughed, the room lit up. That’s a gift.”
Henson was best known for tussling with Mark Hamill during a speeder bike chase in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and fighting Harrison Ford in the action-packed climax of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He also worked on several James Bond films including Casino Royale and You Only Live Once...

Mining history for fictional fodder has been a staple of television program dating back to HBO’s Rome and now series set across the years can be found on prime time and basic cable channels with more on the way. Whereas some like the CW’s new Reign is laughably inaccurate, others do their homework and mine the reality for nuggets to hang characters and stories on. Most audiences are blissfully undereducated about world history so they will swallow events on The Tudors, Borgias, and others without realizing how many liberties have been taken in the name of dramatic license and television realities.
No surprise then that the venerable History Channel would want to get in on the fun and they wisely picked one of the least known and richest cultures to mine for dramatic fare. Last spring they unleashed the nine part Vikings, a Canadian-Irish coproduction developed and written...
