Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were invited to King Charles’ coronation but haven’t publicly confirmed they will attend. A PR expert believes they should avoid stealing the spotlight on this historic day.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle | Chris Jackson/Getty Images for the Invictus Games Foundation Expert says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle should ‘minimize their impact’ on the coronation
PR and Crisis Communications Specialist Patrick O’Kane of Different Narrative said Harry and Meghan shouldn’t attend the coronation, telling The Mirror they face a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario.
“With public opinion very much divided on whether the couple should attend king Charles II’s coronation, there is a risk that Harry and Meghan’s attendance would steal the limelight on what should be a historical day not only for royals but for the United Kingdom and the entire commonwealth,” O’Kane said.

The two "Exorcist" prequels, "Exorcist: The Beginning" and "Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist," offer something that may be unique in the whole of cinema; a strange case of one actor playing the same character in two different versions of the same film shot back-to-back. Oh, and the first version was only released after the second proved a total dog. It's a story of epic studio interference that makes the tacked-on ending William Peter Blatty was forced to shoot for "The Exorcist III" seem like a minor tweak. Morgan Creek studio head James G. Robinson was the person responsible for that change, and he one-upped himself when it came to the prequel.
After two directors parted company with the project, he hired Paul Schrader. That might seem like a shrewd choice given the subject matter of doubting priests and matters of the soul, something that Schrader has wrestled with in his...

Channel 4-backed U.K. independent content production company Spirit Studios has teamed with James Watt, co-founder of multinational brewery BrewDog, to produce “Mission Finpossible,” a drama documentary aiming to to highlight the issues facing the world’s shark species. Humans kill over 120 million sharks a year, mainly for their fins for soup and many shark species are now under considerable risk of unrecoverable decline with some species having declined to near extinction in recent years. The shark is an apex predator and crucial to maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems.
Spirit Studios, whose previous content activism campaigns include global mental health movement #Iamwhole, will produce the documentary that will feature an original scripted element together with input from the world’s leading shark experts and archive footage. BrewDog is funding the project and will also produce an exclusive beer to raise funds for shark support groups around the world. The...

Whatever you felt about Doctor Who season 11, you have to admit that “The Battle of Ranskoor Av Kolos” was a very weak finale, with the lack of story arc that year and lackluster plotting of the last episode meaning the run ended on a whimper rather than a bang. Season 12 has sported much more serialized storytelling, however, dropping some major twists along the way that have promised a huge, shocking conclusion. The fact that the final story was a two-parter also added to the hype. All this is to say that I had high hopes going into “Ascension of the Cybermen,” but unfortunately I found it rather underwhelming – though it was by no means a failure.
Following on from last week’s “The Haunting of Villa Diodati,” which introduced Ashad the Lone Cyberman from the future, this episode kicks off with the Tardis team arriving in said future – a dark...

With eight episodes behind us, Doctor Who season 12 reaches the first half of its two-part finale this weekend. Although technically, it’s a three-parter, as the last episode, “The Haunting of Villa Diodati,” reintroduced the Cybermen into the show and set up a Terminator-like plot about a Lone Cyberman traveling back into the past to avert the metal race’s destruction in a war with humanity in the future.
The Doctor and her friends will travel to this war-torn future in this week’s installment, “The Ascension of the Cybermen,” and today, the BBC have released a batch of promo images which tease what’s in store for the Tardis team in the penultimate episode. Chiefly, it looks like the Time Lord (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill), Ryan (Tosin Cole) and Graham (Bradley Walsh) will get chained up at some point, likely captured by the Cybermen.
Other images, meanwhile, see...

Director: Craig Singer.
Writer: Lane Shadgett and Jeremy Donaldson.
Massifys "Ghosts in the Machine," contest was won by scriptwriter Jeremy Donaldson, who is the producer of "Perkins 14," and his nostalgic poster, a throwback to the 70s was a centerpiece from which the film saw development. Another "Afterdark Horrorfest III," series presentation "Perkins 14," was given a late March 2009 DVD release and stars two other "Ghosts in the Machine," casting contest winners; Shayla Beesley and Katherine Pawlak. Donaldson, who shot his miniature feature and contest winner mainly with a DVX100a miniDV camera has found most of his influences from films like; "Night of the Living Dead," "The Crow," and "28 Days Later," each of which can subtly be seen in this zombie film without zombies.
"Perkins 14," centers around police officer Dwayne (Patrick O'Kane) and the loss of young son Kyle (C. J. Singer), ten years past, the character is constantly pushing the story onwards,...
