The broadcast, from The Mariinsky Theatre in St Petersburg, will be screened to 50 countries across the globe. Mariinsky’s artistic director Valery Gergiev will conduct alongside Ekaterina Kondaurova in the starring role.

Gael Garcia Bernal & Mia Maestro Join ‘Evita’
2 hours ago
More projects are being revealed at Cannes this week, and the latest reveal has been that No’s Gael Garcia Bernal and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2′s Mia Maestro are set to star in Evita. And before we start, it is just a working title, it is not a remake of the musical.
The story will be chronicling the odyssey of Eva Peron’s embalmed corpse around Europe from 1952 to its burial in Argentina 25 years later. Maestro will be playing Peron, but her role will be seen in “fragments and shadows”. Pablo Aguero, who wrote the project, said:
“In this film, I want to show what Evita generated: a massive revolt against the injustices of capitalism, followed by a repression that was disproportionate, brutal and yet unsuccessful in shutting her voice forever.”
Garcia Bernal and his production company partner Diego Luna are set to coproduce the project, alongside Tornasol, »

Getting Out The Law In ‘World War Z’ TV Spots
8 hours ago
Zombies are showing no signs of slowing down in director Marc Foster’s adaptation of World War Z. Based on a book by Max Brooks, son of comedic genius Mel Brooks, there looks to be a distinct lack of comedy in this film in which the undead don’t so much stalk the Earth, as they do run around and cause absolute destruction. It certainly looks more like an action film than horror, and with a PG-13 rating, you can bet the gore is going to be on the low side. Brad Pit stars as Gerry Lane, a United Nations employee doing all he can to stop the crisis.
World War Z is released on 21st June. It stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Matthew Fox, Eric West, David Morse, and James Badge Dale.

‘Man Of Steel’ Swoops In With Super Final Trailer
9 hours ago
Well, the final theatrical trailer for Warner Bros.’ re-imagining of the DC comic-book icon and his journey from helpless infant on a distant planet to his calling as the saviour of the human race, has ultimately arrived. Henry Cavill takes the tile role as the Kryptonian super being forced to confront his villainous home world headcase General Zod after the former compatriot tracks him down on Earth.
Of all the blockbusters to come, as well as those already gone, Man Of Steel is the event movie of my summer and I’m desperate to see how Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot plays out on the big-screen. The epic supporting of Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Christopher Meloni and Kevin Costner, not forgetting The Dark Knight trilogy’s Chris Nolan and David S. Goyer on story and screenwriting duties, only heightens my anticipation for the film.
