It was a beautiful Christmas Day on the fifth floor of Akron Children's Hospital in Akron, Ohio. Sarah Lewis and William Cramer of Mogadore, Ohio, chose this spot to wed after six years of dating so their 4-year-old son, Billy, a patient of the hospital, could attend. In November of 2013, Billy was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a neural tissue cancer that commonly forms in childhood. He has been in the hospital for the past six months, receiving chemotherapy treatment, surgery and a bone marrow transplant. "He's my hero," Cramer told the Akron Beacon Journal. Despite only being given a little over a week to prepare,...

D-Day has failed, Britain is under Nazi occupation!
The new UK alternate-reality WW2 drama Resistance stars Andrea Riseborough and Michael Sheen and it is the feature film directorial debut of Amit Gupta (see our interview with Amit here). The film is based on the critically acclaimed novel by Owen Sheers.
Sarah Lewis, a 26-year-old farmer’s wife, awakes one morning to find that her husband has disappeared along with all the men in the valley. Assuming they have joined the Resistance, the women of this tiny community pull together, taking on the running of the farms, and wait, desperate for news. A German patrol arrives in the valley, the purpose of its mission a mystery. When a severe winter forces the two groups into co-operation, Sarah begins an acquaintance with the patrol’s commanding officer, Albrecht. Cut off from the surrounding war, the lines between collaboration, duty, occupation and survival become blurred.

The Guardian has our very first look at the world premiere trailer for Resistance, starring Michael Sheen. Enjoy the trailer below:
Michael Sheen and Andrea Riseborough star in Resistance, a drama set in an alternate Britain in which D-Day has failed and the country is under Nazi occupation.
Based on a novel by Welsh poet Owen Sheers, the story takes place in an alternate 1944, after the fall of Russia and the failed D-Day landings. The menfolk of the valley are disappearing one by one, their absences sudden and unexplained. As the all-female community huddles together, a group of German Wehrmacht soldiers invade the valley. A cruel winter season forces the two groups to put aside their differences and build a cautious entente cordiale, but as farmer’s wife Sarah Lewis grows closer to the patrol’s commanding officer, the spirit of the valley is threatened by the war raging beyond the mountain, and the unlikely community is faced with unimaginable devastation.
• Resistance is out in the UK on 25 November
I want to know when Resistance comes out in the Us! I want to see this movie so bad.
