National Geographic Solitary Confinement

Alone... in a cell... 23 hours a day... for days, or even decades. Today, tens of thousands of Americans are subject to what may be the most extreme prison environment ever designed. Although the effects of isolation are largely unknown, in prisons across the country, convicts are placed in solitary confinement - cut off from nearly all human contact. Some say solitary is the only way to handle the worst prisoners, but others claim it amounts to psychological torture more cruel than any physical abuse. From prisoners on the edge, to scientists making finds that are changing our most fundamental notions of ourselves, National Geographic looks at the science of solitary and discovers what it means to be absolutely and completely alone.

Michael Nyqvist Joins Disconnnected

Alexander Skarsgard also aboardAh, the Internet. Scourge of tabloid newspapers, enemy of productivity and primary delivery system for gigabytes of naked people doing things to each other. It's an endlessly fascinating subject for filmmakers and one that Murderball director Henry-Alex Rubin is turning to for his first feature since the documentary, hiring Michael Nyqvist, Alexander Skarsgard, Frank Grillo and Colin Ford to star in indie drama Disconnected. Written by Return to Me's Andrew Stern, the film will follow a group of characters whose lives are variously affected by the Magical Interwebs and other forms of communication so prevalent in today's high-tech society. So probably not smoke signals, then. Skarsgard (yes, him again - he's a busy bloke) is on as a former Marine whose marriage is crumbling due to financial and emotional pressures and is driven to seek out an affair. Original Dragon Tattoo star Nyqvist's tale is linked to his, as he'll be a man the couple suspect has stolen their identity. Grillo, last seen in Edge of Darkness and My Soul to Take, is a computer expert and single dad who is desperate to keep his 15-year-old son (Ford) away from the dangers he perceives in cyberspace. How well does that plan go? Not so well, as the kid is already dealing with his own emotional issues by pretending to be a girl online and chatting with a troubled fellow teenager. Yeah, that's going to end well. Rubin also has Brighton Rock's Andrea Riseborough flirting with the role of an ambitious TV report who wants to break out of her fluffy news routine and looks into a story about a young male model that poses in the buff on the web. It's all set to start shooting next month in New York.

Kate Beckinsale Bares A Lot More Than Her Teeth in 4th 'Underworld'

Oh that Kate Beckinsale. She began out doing Shakespeare, Jane Austin and Whit Stillman, then segued towards the negative side together with her signature role as Selene in 'Underworld' and 'Underworld: Evolution,' then attempted her hands at serious fare again with 'Fragments' and 'Nothing However the Truth.' Now she's coming back to her bloody ways in 'Underworld: Awakening' by which she reprises her role because the superhuman werewolf hunter (Beckinsale missed the 3rd outing, the prequel 'Underworld: Rise from the Lycans'). In 'Awakening,' Selene arrives of the 12-year-caused coma to locate a world by which humans have found the reality regarding vampires of the underworld and Lycans and therefore are fighting an exciting-out war against them.

Naturally, she goes after her daughter, killing lots of evil humans and Lycans on the way. Screen Gems just launched a trailer for 'Awakening,' which begins with Beckinsale au naturel before getting away her captivity and putting on her skin-tight black leather catsuit.

Disney Pulls In The Lone Ranger's Reins

Hi-No, Silver?If Disney's planned film from the Lone Ranger were a equine, it might have just stopped abruptly in a jump and tossed its driver - within this situation, a strange combination figure of director Gore Verbinski and star The Actor-brad Pitt - flying. Since the Mouse House just shut lower production about the movie. Deadline reviews the decision was apparently made since the budget have been sneaking as much as around $250 million, which appears like a great deal of dosh to become investing on the movie depending on a classic Television show, even because of the people involved with which makes it. Though Depp and Verbinski happen to be a part of a number of Disney's greatest hits - three from the Pirates movies together, with Depp also showing up within the 4th and Alice's adventures in wonderland - it appears such as the the large galleries are playing it very carefully when thinking about large gambles nowadays. Since Disney already has got the costly likes of John Carter and Oz: The Truly Amazing and Effective in a variety of stages across the pipeline and made the decision to place the brakes on Lone Ranger although it was still being getting set to shoot. The studio's professionals will probably still want to get it made (especially since Depp includes a pay or play deal which means he will get his cash in either case) however the budget will have to shrink first and there is now a large doubt if the movie can make its planned 2012 release date. But considering the fact that the united states slot might have seen it facing the very first Hobbit film, that could be a blessing. But after Ron Howard's Dark Tower and Guillermo del Toro's In The Mountain tops of Madness, it is simply yet another sign that no project, a apparently guaranteed blockbuster with large names and reliable filmmakers behind it, is protected in the axe...
