The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back ($50) is once again penned by J.W. Rinzler, an executive editor at Lucasfilm, and at 362 pages, outpaces its predecessor with even more behind-the-scenes info, early scripts, production notes, and anecdotes from those who were there, including the unsung director Irvin Kershner. For a taste, check out this brief preview in Vanity Fair, but trust us: a taste is never enough.

Vertu Constellation Quest
It packs all the high-end design features that set a Vertu apart from more common mobile phones, but packs a full QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen to keep its user connected and in the loop.
For the Quest, Vertu has also introduced new features like Vertu Remote Assist that allows the tech support team on call ’round the clock to go into the phone and fix whatever’s not working. There’s also Vertu City Brief, providing users with fingertip access to information on whatever location they’re traveling to. All that and more, packed into a choice of stainless steel (matte or polished) or 18-karat gold case with a leather back and sapphire crystal screen.
50 Cent's Cheetah Vision Films Lands $200 Million In Funding For 10-Picture Deal
50 Cent has just completed a deal for his film company that will give it $200 million dollars to fund a 10-picture deal.
Cheetah Vision Films, Randall Emmet and George Furla's Hedge Fund Partners have signed off on a deal that will allow 50 to expand his ever growing film resume.
Healthcare magnate Richard Jackson, real estate developer Gary Sakwa and Daniel Ret will provide the equity remainder of the fund. Grindstone/Lionsgate will distribute the films.
The first movie out of the gate will be 'Set Up', an action heist movie that starts shooting next month. Paul Walker is in talks to star alongside 50 in the movie.
Fif recently linked up with Paul of the set of 'The Fast and Furious 5'. You know business was at the top of the agenda.
'Set Up' revolves around a group of friends involved in a diamond heist that takes a deadly turn.
"The thing about '50 Cent' is that, just like in his music career, he isn't someone who sits around and waits for things to get done. He came to me and said, 'How do we move quicker on projects?' With this new fund, we are able to do that. It's very hard to raise equity today and we are lucky to have such great partners, including the amazing team of Barry Brooker and Stan Wertlieb of Grindstone and Joe Drake and Helen Kim at Lionsgate," Emmett told Variety.
Under the deal, the films will have a budget of around $20 million dollars each.
Fif and Richard Jackson have also teamed with Emmet and Furla's, Emmet/Furla films, for the movie 'Catch 44', which stars Bruce Willis, Forest Whitaker and Malin Ackerman.
