David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s ‘Here Lies Love’ transforms history into a disco

David Byrne and Fat Boy Slim’s historical musical Here Lies Love is currently running on Broadway in New York and, last month, NME attended an exclusive preview of the show.Based on the duo’s album of the same name – which was released in 2010 and featured a host of guest vocalists, including Florence + The Machine’s Florence Welch, Santigold, and Tori Amos – Here Lies Love tells the sensational and true story of Imelda Marcos.Marcos was the wife of dictator Ferdinand Marcos and the country’s “first lady” from 1965 to 1986. An all-Filipino cast, quickly shifting immersive stage design (stagehands in pink jumpsuits directed the crowd as the catwalk took on different configurations during the show) and state-of-the-art sound technology help bring the biography to life.The Broadway Theatre, where the musical has been running in previews since June 17 before opening on July 20, has been transformed into a retro club, with the orchestra converted into a standing-room-only nightclub (all 900 of the seats that are typically housed there have been removed) under a towering mirror ball and fuschia neon lights in homage to Studio 54.

‘Dahmer’ scenes were edited to avoid creating sympathy for the serial killer

Dahmer – Monster: A Jeffrey Dahmer Story, has explained how she edited certain scenes so audiences wouldn’t feel sympathy towards him.Created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan, the Netflix series follows the life and crimes of the American serial killer, played by Evan Peters.Speaking to Variety, Filo detailed how a scene in episode four, where Dahmer returns home from the army to have Christmas dinner with his parents, was altered to reduce the chance of it gaining a sympathetic reaction from viewers.“That used to play as one full scene, but it felt too heavy on their family dynamic,” Filo said.In the final version, the scene was intercut with other events to provide further context for his crimes. She added: “That intercutting and seeing the weird things he’s been up to helped give context to the horrific things that were happening instead of having a guy just hanging out with his parents.”In a scene from episode eight where victim impact statements are read, Filo said she felt a responsibility to ensure she was being respectful to those involved.

‘Haunted Mansion’ Review: How The Live Action Film Compares To The Disneyland Park Attraction

The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride attraction located at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, and Tokyo Disneyland. The ride is set in a large, creaky mansion that is rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of its former residents. Riders are led through a series of rooms, each of which is decorated with creepy props and features a different ghostly encounter. Some of the most famous scenes in the ride include the Ballroom, where a group of ghosts are dancing, the Conservatory, where a casket floats in mid-air, and Madame Leota’s Séance Room, where a disembodied head floats in a crystal ball. Someone at Disney decided this was enough substance to turn this into a feature film. Not sure why.

‘Haunted Mansion’ Review: Disney Horror Comedy Channels Its Spooky Illusions from Original Ride

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic For a few years there back in the early ’80s, Disney took a turn to the dark side, releasing live-action movies like “The Watcher in the Woods” (featuring a creepy late-career Bette Davis) and “Something Wicked This Way Comes” (from the mind of Ray Bradbury) that were intense enough to inspire nightmares — in kids, at least. The youngsters of that time are now parents, and some are surely asking themselves how far they can trust Disney not to traumatize another generation when a movie like “Haunted Mansion” comes along.
