Apple Boards Israeli Drama Series 'Losing Alice' Apple Boards Israeli Drama Series ‘Losing Alice’ By Joe Otterson Dori Media Apple is adding another international co-production to its streaming repertoire. The streamer has boarded the Israeli psychological thriller series “Losing Alice.” The show is produced by Israel’s Dori Media Productions in association with HOT. The eight-episode series is currently airing on HOT and will stream worldwide later this year on Apple TV Plus. The series hails from creator Sigal Avin, who served as director in addition to writing. It follows Alice (Ayelet Zurer), a 48 year old film director who feels irrelevant since raising her family. After a brief encounter on the train, she becomes obsessed with 24 year old screenwriter, femme-fatale, Sophie (Lihi Kornowski), and eventually surrenders her moral integrity in order to achieve power, relevance and success. The series uses flashbacks and flash-forwards to take viewers through the conscious and subconscious parts of Alice’s mind. This is the second Israeli co-production deal Apple has announced in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Apple announced it would co-produce the thriller series “Tehran,” about a female Mossad agent who goes deep undercover on a dangerous mission in the titular Iranian capital. The streamer is also currently working on “Suspicion” starring Uma Thurman, which is based on the Israeli series “False Flag.” Other international shows include “Pachinko,” based on the Min Jin Lee novel of the same name, “Shantaram” starring Charlie Hunnam and based on the Gregory David Robert novel of the same name, “Slow Horses” starring Gary Oldman,” and “Masters of the Air” from Amblin Television and Playtone. Variety exclusively reported in May that Apple also recently acquired the Gal Gadot-led Hedy Lamarr series from writer and executive producer Sarah Treem. The eight-episode series will tell the story of Lamarr’s life, including her escape from pre-war Vienna and her life as an inventor. https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/losing-alice-apple-streaming-1234691152/ .

  • Sword Art Online Volume 17 – Alicization Awakening Chapter 20 - Each of Their Battles
    2 4 6 7 8 Sword Art Online Volume 17 – Alicization Awakening Chapter 20 - Each of their Battles Chapter 20 Each of their Battles 7 July 2026 / Eighth Day1 of the Eleventh Month of the Human Empire Calendar, 380 1 5:00 a.m. More than 3,000 players gathered in a great dome in the World Tree that stood in the heart of Alne City, at the center of the world of ALfheim Online. The winged knight monsters defending the dome’s roof gate had been removed.2 Instead, the nine fairy races now used this space to meet and negotiate, or as a venue for events. Only four players were facing the roughly 3,000 other players who had been gathered to this large, inconvenient meeting. The hulking Gnome Agil, Salamander samurai Klein, Cait Sith beast tamer Silica, and Leprechaun blacksmith Lisbeth — partners of the «Black Swordsman» Kirito, who was still diving in «Underworld», yet to awaken. At 4:20 a.m., when Klein and Lisbeth had been sending out in- game messages to every single friend on their lists, there were only three Lord-class players online. But, while pleading with them and their subordinate officers, they resorted to the taboo method of begging them to contact other players in real life. As a result, all of the players currently in the square had managed to assemble in just 40 minutes. In this sizable, hemispherical space, nearly 30% of the floating or standing players were using newly created accounts. 1 Kawahara made a typo and wrote “Seventh Day” instead.

  • 100 Sexiest Women in Comics List
    100 sexiest women in comics list Continue As of 2017, Israeli actress Gal Gadot is the latest winner of FHM's 100 Sexiest Women. FHM's 100 Sexiest Women is an annual list compiled by the monthly British male lifestyle magazine FHM, on the basis of which women they consider sexy. As of 2017, each year the list is first announced through a section on the official FHM website, FHM.com. The first list was published in 1995 and was voted on by a group of 250 judges. The first winner was German supermodel Claudia Schiffer. From 1996 to 2015, the public voted for him, and at the peak of his growth, several million votes were cast each year. Then the winners were British singer Cheryl, American actress Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez. (nb 1) At 36, Berry was the oldest woman ever to top the listing, while Lopez was the first to top it up more than once. By the time FHM stopped publishing its print edition in January 2016, the list of the 100 sexiest women had been compiled 21 times. Currently, the winner of the title Sexiest Woman is the Israeli actress Gal Gadot. Along with the list of the 100 sexiest women, FHM also published the List of Most Suitable Bachelors in 2006 and 2007 to celebrate such qualities as talent, star quality and cash. These lists were topped by American actress Mischa Barton and American socialite Kimberly Stewart, respectively. To mark the 10th and 20th anniversary of the list of the 100 sexiest women, two one-off charts showing the sexiest women were compiled in April 2004 and May 2014.

  • Gal Gadot Wears the Legendary Tiffany &
    Gal Gadot Wears the Legendary Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti® Bone Cuff in her New Film, Wonder Woman 1984, in Theaters and Streaming on HBO Max December 25 | 1 Official Trailer, Wonder Woman 1984 Wonder Woman 1984 premieres Christmas Day and features Gal Gadot reprising her iconic role as Wonder Woman and alter ego Diana Prince. In the Patty Jenkins directed film, Gadot, as Prince, is wardrobed in the legendary Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti® Bone cuff in 18k yellow gold, a nod to Wonder Woman’s indestructible cuffs and a tribute to Prince’s real self—a hero. “Elsa Peretti® Bone cuff is still, to this day, the most stunning piece of jewelry that I’ve ever seen. I first became aware of this work of beauty when I received a small one as a gift from an ex’s mother. I loved it immediately, but even still, many years later when I glimpsed an editorial shot of someone wearing the long Bone cuff online, I didn’t realize it was related, and obsessively searched for what it was. When I found out it was Peretti’s extended cuff, it sealed the collection as a masterwork of adornment. My love of the cuffs became magically relevant when I directed the Wonder Woman films, as they marry perfectly with the character. As a result, we featured them as the one piece of jewelry that Diana Prince would choose in Wonder Woman 1984. It looks absolutely stunning on her, and I can’t wait for the world to see it featured in that way.” — Patty Jenkins The groundbreaking Elsa Peretti® design was introduced 50 years ago and perfectly contours to the wrist, showcasing the ergonomic sensuality that informs all of Peretti’s Tiffany & Co.

  • Crítica: Mujer Maravilla
    Crítica: Mujer Maravilla Gal Gadot se apropió de la Mujer Maravilla. Ya en salas de cine de La Paz. Fotos: Internet. Kinetoscopio Por Marco A. Hernández Maciel Calificación: ***** Clásico imperdible La Paz, Baja California Sur (BCS).Cuando Gal Gadot fue anunciada como la protagonista de Wonder Woman, la misoginia y demás horribles valores que explotan desde el anonimato de las redes sociales empezaron a emerger como burbujas en agua hirviendo: “es que le falta arriba, es que no tiene nada detrás, ha de ser campeona de natación, como que le hace falta más carnita”. En los foros de Facebook, comentarios en Twitter y cualquier otra plataforma o foro donde se pudiera discutir, la guerra entre marvelitas y dcliebers la iban ganado los primeros pues La Viuda Negra encarnada por Scarlett Johansson cumplía con la cuota de voluptuosidad que una heroína –según ellos– debe tener. Entonces llegó Batman v Superman, y entre las dudas de Kal-El para comportarse como un auténtico Superman y las crisis existenciales de Batman, Diana de Temyscira llegó a salvar el día liderando a este equipo de héroes y librando al mundo de Doomsday (ups!, spoiler de Batman v Superman!). Porque fue ella, con seguridad, fiereza, agilidad, fuerza, liderazgo, entrega y heroísmo que pudieron hacer equipo para derrotar esta amenaza. Fue ella, quien arrebató todas las miradas con su porte y cautivó a todos los oídos con su impresionante tema, cimbrando el suelo con los tambores y después, alentando a la pelea con ese requinto eléctrico que semeja un cuerno de guerra. En no más de 10 minutos en pantalla, Gal Gadot se apropió de la Mujer Maravilla.
