Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is for Kids?

Image
We are so excited for at Equitable Stewardship for Artists. The movie should be bringing in a ton a new people to the Disney series. Personally, I think that Guardians of the Galaxy is going to leave audiences speechless. A distinction was made back when the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was released. If the Avengers are The Beatles, then the Guardians are the Rolling Stones. Meaning, the corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that contains the likes of Captain America and Iron Man is a tad bit squeaky clean and mainstream, while the rough-and-tumble Guardians were going to maintain an edge. It's why, when Tony Stark kicks off The Avengers: Age of Ultron by shouting "Shit," Cap has to follow up with, "Language..." Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) would have a heart attack while on a mission with the Guardians of the Galaxy... a confrontation we'll soon see in next summer's The Avengers: Infinity War. The Guardians swear. A bunch. Shit, ass and s...

American Actor and British Accents Don't Wont

When it comes to British actors, we at Equitable Stewardship for Artists know our way around the accents and the film industry. Talking with accents can be very foreign for the actors and noticeable for the audiences. One of the single most important things about acting is making sure your character sounds right. This means that movies are full of people creating accents so that people sound like they're from the right places. Christian Bale thinks most Americans are terrible at English accents, but he says there's a reason. According to Bale, most American actors get their English accents from watching movies with English accents, as opposed to really listening to how actual people talk. English accents actually vary greatly, but everything you hear on screen turns out the same because they come from the same sources. Bale says... "You know what the mistake is people make? Imitating other films instead of imitating other people. Because, and especially in American...

British actors still dominating the Film scene

Image
Here at Equitable Stewardship for Artists, we see how the British acting scene is in charge of the important roles in film and entertainment. Actors and directors from affluent backgrounds continue to dominate the theater industry, despite efforts to increase the number of working class and ethnic minority performers, a report warns. The House of Lords Communications committee says even more needs to be done to attract a broader range of talent reflecting the reality of contemporary British society. Its report, published on Wednesday, finds that actors educated at private schools, along with those backed by families affluent enough to help them financially, are still "disproportionately represented" in the entertainment industry. Lord Best, the committee’s chairman, said: "We were told that, despite efforts by the theatres, those able to benefit from private education and financial support from parents are disproportionately represented in this industry.” ...

How Much Money Can Pirates of the Caribbean 5 Make on Opening Weekend?

Image
I think everyone here at ESA talent agency is excited for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie to come out. Whether it's crazy pirates or unique storytelling, the new film should have something for al age. After the huge success of The Fate Of The Furious, and with Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 due out this weekend, it's safe to say that the summer blockbuster season is now well and truly upon us. Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is the costliest of all of these films; its budget allegedly came in at around $320 million, which means that the film is going to have to make an awful amount of money in order for it to recoup its costs. We now have our first indication of how much Pirates: Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales is going to make when it opens at the end of the month, as it has been predicted that the nautical adventure will gross somewhere between $90 million and $100 million. If the above proves to be true, Disney would undoubtedly be v...
