Daniel Trailer

"How much will they pay for him?" Signature Entertainment in the UK has unveiled an official trailer for the true story of journalism drama Daniel, made by filmmakers Niels Arden Oplev & Anders W. Berthelsen. This originally premiered last year and it already opened in Denmark last year, and is only now getting a release in the UK first (still no US release date set yet). The film tells the true story of Danish photographer Daniel Rye, who was captured by ISIS in Syria in 2013 and held hostage for 398 days along with 23 other foreign nationals including the infamous and ill-fated journalist James Foley. The film follows Daniel's fight for survival and the alliance he formed with James before his public execution which made global headlines in 2013. Starring Toby Kebbell as Daniel, Esben Smed as James, as well as Sofia Asir, Arbi Alviati, and Henrik Birch. What a remarkably harrowing experience. Looks like a riveting film about their story.

Here's the new UK trailer for Niels Arden Oplev & Anders W. Berthelsen's Daniel, from YouTube:

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

There are very few There are very few countries in the world where the advancement of peace talks to end a decades old civil conflict leads two gorgeous women to strip naked and canoodle for a sexy magazine shoot. Israel and Palestine? Don't think so. North and South Korea? Wouldn't bet on it. Ukraine? Possibly, but not likely. Colombia, however... absolutely! With major breakthroughs occurring in the long-running peace talks between the Colombian government and the Marxist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrilla group, a former member of Colombia's version of the FBI and a former guerrilla decided to give peace – and nude modelling – a chance.
