SEE THE GATES OF BABYLON IN EPIC TRAILER FOR BIBLICAL ADVENTURE MOVIE DANIEL: THE FIERY FURNACE COMING THIS AUTUMN

   DANIEL EPIC TRAILER  

Daniel will arrive to the cinemas this September

THE FIERY FURNACE OF BABYLON

While we are roasting in this ungodly summer heat, there is a Biblical character who experienced even bigger temperatures. Today I can share with you first posters and an exciting epic adventure trailer for DANIEL: THE FIERY FURNACE which should arrive into cinemas September 11th directed by the Kooman brothers! The film stars Mena Massoud (Aladdin) as the prophet Daniel and Elijah Alexander (The Chosen) as King Nebuchadnezzar. From the sun-baked streets of Jerusalem to the power centre of ancient Babylon, this is more than a movie. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest times, God still delivers, still speaks, and still raises up unlikely heroes who refuse to bow. 

THIS BRAND NEW MOVIE

 highlights Daniel's rise in Babylon and the legendary biblical account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Rather than worship the ruthless king's golden image, these three men choose to be cast into a blazing furnace, setting the stage for a miraculous rescue. During the Jewish exile to Babylon, Daniel and his friends face trials as Babylon's armies conquer Jerusalem. Under King Nebuchadnezzar, they gain royal favor but make enemies. Their faith is tested at the fiery furnace.  Check out the epic movie trailer below and tell us what you think, will you be watching this Autumn?

 BUTTERFLY TALE ANIMATION 

TO HAVE SHAWN MENDES SINGING AN ORIGINAL SONG

Butterfly Tale is currently in production

And he will be singing in it just like he did in Lyle, Lyle Crocodile. According to Variety, Shawn Mendes will have his original new song Something Big featured in new animated movie BUTTERFLY TALE from Pink Parrot Media.

 

BUTTERFLY TALE 

is an animated feature film for the whole family set along the diverse, picturesque, and ever-changing backdrop of the great Monarch butterfly migration. The lead characters are voiced by Tatiana Maslany and Aladdin's Mena Massoud. A heartwarming tale of a gutsy and loveable yet inept, one-winged butterfly, named Patrick who stows away in a milkweed trailer in order to be part of the journey of a lifetime. With his best friend, a goofy caterpillar named Marty, and Jennifer, a butterfly who is afraid of heights, Patrick will become an unlikely hero. But first he must face his fear, embrace his uniqueness and triumph over adversity while battling changing weather patterns, humans and three evil birds bent on revenge. It is a tale of adventure, self-realization and heroism told with humour whose message is that our differences are less important than the bonds we share, and it is in adversity that our true character shines through.

IS HERE FROM DISNEY'S ALADDIN

Aladdin is ready to fly into cinemas May 24th

And here it is: the latest rendition of timeless classic A Whole New World set as the end title for Disney's live action ALADDIN which flies into theatres this month. It is performed by surprisingly good Zayn and awfully mismatched vocals from a singer called Zhavia Ward (I've never heard of her, but her singing sounds ghastly bad in the song, even offensively disrespectful to the genre, but that's a millennial for you, sadly)! Beside new versions of the old songs, the soundtrack will have a new song as well. Will Smith and DJ Khaled will cover classic Oscar nominated song Friend Like Me. New song Speechless is performed by

success or massive flop when it opens in cinemas May 24th! There are many factors which could possibly influence its fall in theatres: 1. most people are not really thrilled with a hip hop version of famous Genie (Will Smith seems to be the most mediocre choice for this role). 2. they gave lead roles to utterly unknown generic young stars who look like they came out of Hannah Montana or High School Musical. 3. the trailer gives an impression of a very cheap, kitschy movie more suited for Disney Channel than cinemas. 4. they gave the helm of a family adventure  to Guy Ritchie, a director known for bizarrely brutal and violent movies, who
