  • The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – the Touring Years
    1 THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – THE TOURING YEARS Release Dates U.S. Theatrical Release September 16 SVOD September 17 U.K., France and Germany (September 15). Australia and New Zealand (September 16) Japan (September 22) www.thebeatleseightdaysaweek.com #thebeatleseightdaysaweek Official Twitter handle: @thebeatles Facebook: facebook.com/thebeatles YouTube: youtube.com/thebeatles Official Beatles website: www.thebeatles.com PREFACE One of the prospects that drew Ron Howard to this famous story was the opportunity to give a whole new generation of people an insightful glimpse at what happened to launch this extraordinary phenomenon. One generation – the baby boomers - had a chance to grow up with The Beatles, and their children perhaps only know them vicariously through their parents. As the decades have passed The Beatles are still as popular as ever across all these years, even though many of the details of this story have become blurred. We may assume that all Beatles’ fans know the macro-facts about the group. The truth is, however, only a small fraction are familiar with the ins and outs of the story, and of course, each new generation learns about The Beatles first and foremost, from their music. So, this film is a chance to reintroduce a seminal moment in the history of culture, and to use the distance of time, to give us the chance to think about “the how and the why” this happened as it did. So, while this film has a lot of fascinating new material and research, first and foremost, it is a film for those who were “not there”, especially the millennials.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Forty
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Forty years ago, the truths of faith and science had battle each other. The existence of science in that century was considered as an insult and treats to the truth of God‟s revelation. Faith is a belief to the God. It gives way to someone to lead a life, whereas science is the real evidence of the phenomenon in the world. It can strengthen a faith of someone to God. However, when a faith and science‟s facts do not match, whether the scientist has in mind to oppose the God, or the faith is wrong. Angels and Demons takes the phenomenon. In addition, the historical stories attract the society to response the movie. Angels and Demons is a movie about hypocrisy, slaughter, authority, and wisdom. This film is the most popular 2009 American mystery-thriller that is directed by Ron Howard and based on Dan Brown's novel with the same title. It is the sequel to The Da Vinci Code (2009), although the book is a prequel to Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code. The players are Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgård, Pierfrancesco Favino, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, and Armin Mueller-Stahl. This movie took place in Rome, Italy, and the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Then, it was released in Australia (May 14, 2009) and United States (May 15, 2009). 1 2 Angels and Demons movie was distributed by Columbia Pictures on DVD and VCD, which the run time is 146 minutes, became box office and it was ranked the seventh highest-earning picture of 2001.

  • Ron Howard: the Past, Present and Future of Entertainment (EP.19)
    Ron Howard: The Past, Present and Future of Entertainment (EP.19) Jim: Well, hello everyone. It's Jim O'Shaughnessy and Jamie Catherwood with another episode of Infinite Loops. And I am so excited today to have my good friend, Ron Howard, who really needs no introduction. Academy Award winner, famous actor, famous director. My God, Ron, is there anything left for you to do? Ron: Well thank you. Plenty. Plenty to do. And always a challenge to kind of, to keep trying to do it well. And so I'm still really enjoying the whole thing. Documentaries has been an area that I've just entered into in the last five years or six years and and I really found it interesting and additive. It's turned out to be a really good business for Imagine Entertainment, not led by me, but by the people who we've been able to partner with, Justin Wilkes and Sarah Bernstein. And so in fact, you and I always like to talk comparative business angles and sort of the world and what's going on. Ron: It's been really interesting for Imagine because in the last three years or so, it's been the first time that we've had some capital to work with and that's not tied to a studio and not tied to a network. And so essentially we've really been able to branch out and it's been exciting to have a kids and family division that's growing. This documentary group, a branded group, all areas that Brian and I, Brian Grazer, of course, and I have always been interested in and occasionally dabbled in, but we literally get our hand slapped when we make a documentary or do some branded work because the company that was paying our overhead would say, "That's not exactly what we had in mind, guys.
