"Expendables 2" lawsuit was filed over a stunt that went wrong

When "Expendables 2" was being shot it left a man injured during an explosion scene that left one man died. Today they filed the law suit against Millennium Films and other productions that are involved in this movie. Explosives and other hazardous activies started this explosion. This was the productions fault for not making sure that everything was alright. The man was injured really badly. His neck, back and other body parts were injured pretty badly.
I article is important because the safety of people is really important. It caught my attention because I thought that it was unexpected to hear about an explosion injuring a person. I thought that the people on set made it safe for them not to get hurt. This article impacts me as a student and a future film maker because it tells me that it is dangerous to be on a set with explosives and that I should make sure that nothing goes wrong on set. This article impacts me as a consumber because it lets me know that hard work was put into this. People might even risk their lives to do the scene. Some questions that I have are, "How much will the productions get sued for?", "Will other productions become more careful in shooting a scene around explosives?", and "Is the injured guy going to be okay?".

Stephen started off as a play writer and wrote the movie "Tape, The Laramie Project and Match". He is currently writing on 60 minute segment. He works with many different companies. Shows buy his scripts as well.

This is an impact to a student because they know that if they can major in English they might have a good career by writing scripts.

Wonder Woman Movie

DC has decided to come out with another series. They are going to give Wonder Woman a chance and do it based on the origins. The CW has given the script commitment to a drama. It will show that Diana will be a Amazonian right before she becomes a warrior princess with super powers. There has been many different stories just like one is about how Diana was a clay figure then she turns to life. She becomes the natural born daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus.
I thought this is important because it will make Marvel make some more super hero series.

Terrence Malick

Terrence Malick is coming out with a new movie. His new movie is called "To The Wonder". Many people have been wondering if Terrence will be going to Venice or Toronto to see his premier. He did go to his last one but he was only their for a little bit and then left. People would even be betting if whether he would go to his premier. The reason why he doesn't go is because he feels that the movie should speak for itself.
This article caught my attention because I heard of Terrence Malick before and I wanted to know what the article was going to talk about. Its important because usually directors go to their own premier to see what people have to say about it but not Terrence. This article will impact a student because if you ever go to a premier you will see that some directors don't go because they feel that the film should speak for its own. The article can impact a future film maker because it can show that as you start getting into the film field you will notice that some people think that their film will be so good that they don't go or either because they don't want to deal with comments. It wouldn't really impact a consumer. Will Terrence Malick go to the premiere of "To The Wonder"? How will the movie turn out? If he doesn't show up to this one will he go to the next one?

"The Bourne Legacy"

"The Bourne Legacy" series was a great success and the people that had brought this movie to such a high expectation of a movie are not even in it. The series of the movie was continued because it was so good that it was hard not to make another movie about it. Now that the movie is out it is the 'joys of the summer' due to its unexpected reactions that you will get out of it. Tony Gilroy knew the right way in how to take it to its best level of success. Gilroy did many important roles for the movie series of the "Bourne" by being the director and co-writer. He can do great things even though he goes through a lot.
The article is important because it shows how great of a director and co-writer Tony Gilroy is. He should be more recognized for his great success in this movie. I picked this article because I have seen some of the "Bourne" and it would be good to know more about this movie and how it did now that it is in theater.
The article can impact a student, future film maker and a consumer because of the fact that it tells you the movie is successful. The future film maker and student should know what made it such a great movie. This is useful for a consumer so he can know whether the movie is good or what to expect in it. 
This article will probably get other directors to try to think just like Tony Gilroy. It would help the industry by making more directors and co-writers in making successful movies.
