Jay-Z & Will Smith Form Film Partnership
Overbrook Entertainment partners James Lassiter, Ken Stovitz, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith have formed a joint venture with Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter to develop and produce major motion pictures. One of the projects being discussed is the re-imagination of the classic Broadway musical ANNIE as a vehicle for Willow Smith to star. The film will be developed with Sony Pictures Entertainment and produced by Overbrook Entertainment and Mr. Carter.
The partnership began over dinner with Jada, Will, James Lassiter and JAY-Z, where they decided to co-invest in the now successful beauty products line Carol’s Daughter. They continued this partnership as co-producers of the successful Broadway production Fela!, which earned a total of eleven Tony Award nominations in 2010.
“The time is right to bring back ANNIE to the big screen. Of course, we’re true believers in Willow’s talent and believe she will be perfect in this role,” said Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad. “Combining Willow with the Overbrook team that reimagined Karate Kid and the spectacular JAY-Z makes this a dream project. A decade ago, JAY-Z proved that the power of the underlying Broadway property remains, by showing how these songs could be reinterpreted for a new generation with Hard-Knock Life. We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with our friends at Overbrook as they launch this new venture.”

Batman: Anne Hathaway to play Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises"
mhmm..
Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises suddenly got a whole lot more appealing. As well as the return of former GQ cover star Christian Bale in all his deep-voiced glory, it has just been announced that Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle. Yes, the Selina Kyle who eventually dons a rubber catsuit and becomes a certain sexy, feline-inspired adversary (as Michelle Pffeiffer and Halle Berry found out). And if you really another reason to see it? Tom Hardy, the man who stole every scene from inside your mind in Inception, is set to play villain Bane. So what we're basically saying is we're already looking at the most GQ film of 2012...

Ferrari FF
Ferrari‘s flagship fastback, the four-seat, four-wheel-drive FF. The initials stand for Ferrari Four in reference to the seat configuration and the new all-wheel drive system, which Ferrari says weighs only half as much as those made by their competitors.
The novel traction system is mated to an all-new 6.3-liter V12 engine with direct injection that produces 651 horsepower. That’s enough, says Ferrari, to propel the FF to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 208 mph – both faster and quicker than the 612 Scaglietti it replaces.
It’s also lighter than the 612, and features an innovative “shooting brake” body-style that is at once both sleek and versatile, providing as much luggage space as a small hatchback.

INFLUENCERS: Steve Stoute
Last year saw the release of a short documentary titled INFLUENCERS: How Trends & Creativity Become Contagious. The work highlighted the whole notion of trends and how they gain traction, and eventually come to integrate themselves into the very fabric of everyday society. The movement has gone more in-depth as Steve Stoute becomes the first to speak in a greater light. As CEO and founder of brand management firm Translation, he has provided guidance for many icons such as Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, LeBron James and Justin Timberlake among others. The concept of artists and brands as successful collaborators is a central theme to his video.
