SRINAGAR, (PTK): National Conference (NC) today took protest march against custodial death of a school teacher Rizwan Asad Pandith.
Senior NC leaders Ali Muhammad Sagar, Nasir Sogami, Mubarak Gul, Shameema Firdous and Sabiha Qadri led the protest rally from the party headquarters at Nawa-e-Subh.
The protesters were chanting anti-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slogans and demanded stern punishment for the people responsible for the death of 29-year-old Rizwan Asad Pandith.
"The killers should be dealt as per law and stern punishment should be meted out whosoever is responsible. There has to be a thorough investigation in the killing," demanded Sogami.
Sogami said that death of youth in custody is condemnable and to carry out a protest today was aimed to convey a message that such killings are unacceptable to the people of Kashmir.
Earlier on Wednesday National Conference said that Government must clarify under whose custody the murder of Awantipora youth happened.
NC said an FIR should be registered in the matter against the officials concerned.
"Whether the youth was in the custody of NIA or police, the responsibility lies at the door of the governor. The young teacher was in the custody of the state," NC chief spokesman Aga Roohullah said.
Students at the University of Kashmir also staged a protest against the custodial death of Pandith and summons issued to Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Omar Abdullah demanded exemplary punishment to those responsible for the death of Pandith.
PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti while reacting over the custodial death of the Awantipora youth said that GoI's repressive approach has left young educated men vulnerable who are forced to take up arms.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): Samajwadi Party leader Ram Gopal Yadav said that paramilitary forces are unhappy with the government, they killed the jawans for votes.
He said, "The paramilitary forces are unhappy with the government, they killed the jawans for votes. There was no checking between Jammu and Kashmir, the CRPF men were simply sent in buses. This is a conspiracy when the government will change this will be investigated. That's when the big people will be stuck.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): A five-year-old girl was critically injured on Thursday afternoon a stray dog attacked her in Panzath area of Qazigund in South Kashmir's Anantnag district.
Reports reaching to PTK said that stray dog entered in a village and attacked a minor girl which identified as Zainab Bilal (05) daughter of Bilal Ahmad Wani a resident of Panzath Qazigund.
The locals managed to chase away the dogs but the damage was done. Zainab lay on the ground, her face had a long gash, the skin ripped apart by the dog's teeth.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): All Parties Hurriyat Conference in a statement issued to press said that after miserably and humiliatingly failing to curb and contain the movement for right to self-determination by all the military might, Indian government is frustrated to the extent that they frame and arrest pro-freedom leaders, activists and their relatives on the pre-planned psychological crackdown using the masked tools of NIA and ED, so that they surrender and stop voicing the sentiments of their oppressed and suppressed nation, thereby covering and shielding their atrocities and barbarism against common and unarmed people. But people are much aware of these gimmicks and such childish acts are in no way going to bail them out of their heinous crimes.
Commenting on the quizzing of Altaf Ahmad Shah and Zahoor Watali by ED and grilling of Hurriyat chairman's son Syed Naseem Geelani by NIA, Hurriyat Conference said that on one hand those involved in Samjota Express Blast in 2007, where in more than 80 people (mostly Pakistanies) are set free by the courts, while as pro-freedom people and their relatives are harrased and threatened by so-called investigating agencies who have shown their brutal face by recent killing of school principal Rizwan Pandith.
Hurriyat said that Altaf Ahmad Shah and Zahoor Watali are already under the custody in Tihar jail for the last 2 years and fresh questioning confirms the mindset of the Delhi rulers, who use their agencies as a tool of arbiratation and oppression.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): Terming the National Conference a party of traitors, the Peoples Conference today said that three generations of the Abdullah family looted the nation to mint personal fortunes worth billions.
"National Conference's political dominance in Kashmir is a myth created to project Abdullah's as the only representatives of the people of Kashmir. Their four time winning candidates in Khanyar and Eidgah have managed to take just over 21500 votes respectively across four elections while candidates from other parts of Kashmir lost in 2014 even after getting 25000 votes. Dr Abdullah won the Srinagar Parliament was due to mere seven percent turnout.
The NC has perhaps been the biggest beneficiary of poll boycott and their cry for early Assembly polls in Kashmir is a desperate attempt to find an easy passage to the Assembly, sensing the lack of interest in public mood to participate in the upcoming elections", he added.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): Senior vice president Peoples Conference and former minister Abdul Gani Vakil today hit out at National Conference saying the Abdullah's are frustrated sensing that the ship of dynastic rule is sinking in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement issued here, Vakil while reacting to NC vice president Omar Abdullah's indirect remarks on Peoples' Conference, said that Peoples' Conference (PC) is a 45-year old party founded by late Abdul Gani Lone, a thoughtful leader who had realised that the root of all problems prevailing in the State was embedded in dynastic rule.
Lambasting at NC for its frustration over the rise of PC and other new political fronts, Vakil said Abdullah's ship of dynastic politics has sunk and their party is weakening day by day.
"The last election of 2014 saw the NC confined to just 15 seats only. And the height of it was that Omar Abdullah himself won by a margin of few hundred votes and that too from Congress. This proves that people are fed up of traditional parties," Vakil Added.
He reiterated that it has been seen all along that whosoever have challenged dynastic rule has been labelled man of the Centre by these Abdullah's who think Jammu and Kashmir is their personal fiefdom.
"Late Mufti Sahib was too labelled the man of the Centre when he challenged rule of dynastic rule of National Conference," Vakil said.
He said Peoples Conference is getting public support day by day which has frustrated NC leadership.
"Omar and his father are living restless days and sleepless nights. They are scared and visualise their defeat in coming elections which forced them to accuse Peoples Conference of being the agents of the central Govt," he added.
He reminded Omar Abdullah of his days when he was rubbing shoulders with BJP as a foreign minister in Vajpayee's government. "That time BJP was acceptable for NC. As a Foreign Minister in their regime, Omar Abdullah was telling the world that Kashmir issue is no issue and everything is alright there," he said.
Vakil cautioned people to stay vigilant and don't fall prey to NC, as it has been old game of National Conference to place false allegations on anybody who questions their dynastic rule.
Vakil said that Omar Abdullah grew politically under BJP regime and what is surprising that he refused to resign when his party resolution related to autonomy was rejected by Delhi.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): People's Conference (PC) senior leader, and the party's candidate for Srinagar parliamentary constituency, Irfan Reza Ansari, has expressed concern over the government proposal to release small amounts of money to contractors in lieu of the works done under constituency development fund.
"The Finance Department's proposal to release only 15% payment to contractors is bizarre. It is injustice with the contractor community of the state that has been working under the most trying circumstances," he said in a statement.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): Moral Education, Environment & Relief Council of Private Schools Association, Jammu and Kashmir in collaboration with Forest Department today organised a series of functions on the eve of world Arbour Day.
The functions included plantation drives, seminars, debates and other activities were simultaneously held across Kashmir and Jammu divisions including Chenab and Pir Panchal Valley, involving around1100 schools.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): Bhartiya Janata Party state spokesman Altaf Thakur while reacting to the seat sharing arrangement between National Conference and Congress in Jammu and Kashmir a well-planned conspiracy hatched jointly by the leaders of these parties only to ensure that they are able to revive the family rule in J&K and resort to plundering of states resources to fill their coffers and to stay in power.
SRINAGAR, (PTK): From the last past few days, Kulgam police received complaints about theft cases in the area and accordingly case FIR Numbers 23/2019 & 24/2019 under relevant sections of law were registered and investigation was initiated.
During investigation, Kulgam police arrested the main accused identified as namely Shahid Ahmad Kumar son of Gull Mohammad Kumar resident of Phaloo Kulgam. Stolen items including CCTV cameras and medicines worth lakhs of rupees were recovered by Kulgam police.
During further course of investigation, another person identified as Nishat Ahmad Dar son of Mohammad Ayoub Dar resident of Chehlan Kulgam proprietor of Dar Medical Store Chawalgam Kulgam was found involved in receiving these stolen medicines.


Corporal punishment is unlawful in alternative care settings under the Child Protection Act 1997 as amended in 2004 (see under "Home").
Corporal punishment is unlawful in early childhood care and in day care for older children under the Child Protection Act 1997 as amended in 2004 (see under "Home").
Corporal punishment is unlawful in schools under article 10(2) of the Public Education Act 1993, which states: "The personality, human dignity and rights of children and students shall be respected, and protection has to be provided against physical and spiritual violence. Children and students may not be subject to physical admonishment, torture, cruel and humiliating punishment or treatment." Similarly, Act CXC of 2011 on National Public Education states that children shall not be subjected to physical and psychological punishment, torture, or cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment or treatment. However, during examination of Hungary in 2014, the Committee on the Rights of the Child learned that school guards are responsible for maintaining discipline in schools and are authorised to use physical force against children in some circumstances.
Corporal punishment is unlawful as a disciplinary measure in penal institutions. According to the Decree of the Minister of the Interior no. 19/1995 on the procedures in police jails, detainees shall be treated with respect for their human dignity, and torture and cruel, inhuman or humiliating treatments are prohibited. The Penitentiary Act states that human dignity must be respected and prohibits torture and merciless, inhuman or humiliating measures.
Corporal punishment is unlawful as a sentence for crime. It is not a permitted sentence under the Penal Code 1978, the Statutory Regulation on the Execution of Penalties and Measures or the Criminal Procedure Code (amended 2006).
"The Committee notes that the State party's legislation prohibits the use of corporal punishment against children in all settings. However, it regrets that the prohibition is not implemented in the family and schools for lack of awareness and training on alternative forms of discipline, non-reporting and lack of penal response against perpetrators. The Committee is also concerned about the recent establishment of the institution of school guards who are responsible for maintaining discipline in schools and who are authorized to use physical force against children in some instances.
d) the prohibition of corporal punishment in the home by amendment of the Act on the Protection of Children in 2004….
"The Committee is concerned that corporal punishment in schools, despite being prohibited by the Hungarian Child Education Act, continues to occur.
"The report states that the Act on the Protection of Children provides that corporal punishment is prohibited, and that children may not be subjected to torture, or to cruel, inhumane, or humiliating punishment of treatment (Article 6 Sub-paragraph (5)). In pre-schools and schools, the personality, human dignity, and rights of a child and/or student must be respected, and he or she must be protected against physical and emotional violence. Under the Public Education Act, no child or student may be subjected to corporal punishment, torture, cruel, inhuman, or humiliating punishment or treatment (Article 10, Sub-paragraph (2)). The Committee notes that Hungarian penal law practice recognises the exercise of the right of house discipline within the family. It notes that there is no prohibition in legislation of corporal punishment in the home.
"The Committee recalls that Article 17 requires a prohibition in legislation against any form of violence against children, whether at school, in other institutions, in their home or elsewhere. It considers that any other form of degrading punishment or treatment of children must be prohibited in legislation and combined with adequate sanctions in penal or civil law. Therefore, it considers that since there is no prohibition in legislation of corporal punishment in the home, the situation cannot be considered to be in conformity with Article 17 of the Charter.
"As regards corporal punishment of children, the Committee wishes to know whether legislation prohibits corporal punishment of children in schools, in institutions, in the home or elsewhere, as it finds the report unclear on this point….


Occasionally a property comes my way that looks as great naked as it does dressed - this 70's baby is one of those. 'Miss Kohi Road' was designed by reknowned architect, Ron Sang. She has two sisters (170 b & c), but apart from that, is completely unique. A rare and beautiful gem.
'Miss Kohi Road' is 'a study of shapes' - squares, rounds, triangles, rectangles - they're all present here. Cleverly proportioned and balanced. Colour defines the edges, contrasting cladding defines the levels. She is playful and so much more interesting than most of what is built today.
What's most clever about the outside of this house is the use of reflective glass. It stops our eye being distracted by what's inside, enabling us to focus on the shapes and details of her exterior.
scroll below for a mood-board inspired by this bedroom.
Glass doors work their magic to extend the end of this room, and full-height doors take the ceilings highger.
Reflective glass ensures the bathroom is a haven of privacy.
Upstairs it's the racked peak ceiling that works it's creative magic on you. Furniture, designed in the same era as the house, feels right at home – low-slung and un-obtrusive.
A floor-to-ceiling window brings the outside right on in.

Banco de la Concepción - March Campaign - SEO/BirdLife
Between March 17 and 31 the INCOGEO0310 oceanographic campaign was conducted by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (Instituto Español de Oceanografía). The campaign's aim was the multibeam bathymetric survey and high-resolution seismic scouting of the scarcely studied Conception Bank. This area qualified as a candidate for marine IBA (Important Bird Area) in the recently published inventory Areas Important for the Conservation of Marine Birds in Spain, which was the fruit of a LIFE project carried out by SEO/BirdLife and co-financed by the MARM. The difficulty involved in accessing the Bank and surveying the water in detail prevented data of adequate quality from being collected in order to confirm the area as a marine IBA.
Because of this, an observer from SEO/BirdLife participated in the present campaign with the aim of obtaining detailed information about marine birds that use this enclave in the spring. Given the characteristics of the boat (Vizconde de Eza) and the work plan, which involved sailing at speed and with a constant route for the purposes of the bathymetric survey, the campaign was ideal for carrying out transect censuses of marine birds. So censuses were conducted both in the study area and in the outward trip from the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife to Lanzarote. In addition, as a complementary activity, all observations of turtles and cetaceans were recorded.
The sea conditions were generally good, although there were several moments when the swell and the wind made it inadvisable to enter the work area, which was situated on the external deck of the boat's bridge. In total, a census was taken throughout 547 nautical miles, covering a surface of some 602 km2 with an effective census time of 58.3 hours.
Among the species of marine birds observed, the Cory's shearwater clearly stood out in terms of numbers, representing almost 90% of the total specimens recorded. This fact highlights how important the area is for this species. Other species notable for their abundance were the sandwich tern and the white-faced storm-petrel, although we should bear in mind that most observations of the latter were made on the outward trip to the Bank. Indeed, the low number of white-faced storm-petrels detected strictly in waters of the Bank is worthy of note, as is the case with other target species (the little shearwater and the Madeiran storm-petrel). Other species, such as Bulwer's petrel (of which only one specimen was observed, near Tenerife) and the European storm-petrel, could feed themselves in these waters during the summer months, which coincide with their reproductive period in the Canary Islands.
According to the censuses conducted, the cetaceans are represented in the Bank by at least six species. Among these, three species of dolphins are notable for their abundance (the spotted, common bottlenose and common dolphins) and to a lesser extent also the short-finned pilot whales, which use the neighbouring areas of the Bank. The sperm whale and three specimens of rorqual (Balaenoptera sp.), which could not be precisely identified, complete the list of cetaceans. To this we must add various specimens of Risso's dolphin observed to the north-east of Tenerife outside the area of study and another fourteen specimens of loggerhead sea turtle in the waters targeted by the study.
At first glance we can see the importance of the area for the Cory's shearwater, and several species of cetaceans and turtles are also evident. In the case of the cetaceans, the presence of a good number of bottlenose dolphins is worth noting, as it is one of only two species of Spanish cetaceans included in Appendix II of the Habitats Directive. All of these results support the inclusion of the area as a candidate for the marine IBA and the Natura 200 Network (ZEPA and LIC), making it important to continue the surveys in order to finish profiling the area's significance and complete the information regarding birds, cetaceans and turtles that use the area at other times of the year.

Insolvency or contest of physical appearance and persistence of the current global economic recession persons living all over the world and the special effects produced in Spain, as a result of the collapse of the housing market and related sectors, is producing a truly worrying increase of the unemployment rate. This situation of job instability is wreck the economy of many families, which is being doomed to terrible situations of insolvency, when income insufficient to cover expenses and debt begins to accumulate.

The debt-this is usually the first choice for out of these situations of crisis and insolvency. Using the same you intend to use the route of the credit in order to comply with our obligations of payment. This solution if you are not sashaying of greater economic income, produces a result worse, because that increases the indebtedness of individuals highlighting the situation of insolvency.
The use of this route is completely inadvisable. (e.g., loans between individuals, etc.), if not accompanied by a comprehensive plan that ensures the subsequent viability. 2. The renegotiation of the loan-using this option is typically negotiate or, better said, renegotiate the terms of the loans with the banks and, in order to obtain a modification or deferment of payments that avoid entering an irreversible insolvency situation… Being the most advisable option, the problem of the disposal of the banking entity, that will begin to show little or no permissive, case individuals and not companies, especially if we have several accumulated debts. 3 Reunification of debts-this option is most inadvisable, if they exsiten other ways to solve a situation of insolvency. This would be to go to other sources of financing, as certain entities that usually offer one reduction of the monthly fee to pay our loans, through the reunification of all, at the expense of extending the life of the loan and charge us a high interest rate.
The importance of lighting in reform the importance of lighting in the reform plan the illumination of the housing scheme is one of the most important points of a reform. It should take into account the size of the spaces, color and luminosity of the walls, type and color of soil or type of stay concerned. For example, the clear walls reflect light, while the dark absorb it. If this has piqued your curiosity, check out John Savignan. It is also important that the electricity consumption is adequate and sustainable. Use bulbs of low consumption, which last much longer, has the disadvantage that, being white lights, cool environment.
However, already there with warm colourings, which are very nice and decorative. The first thing is designing the lighting and make sure that the installation is safe, with an earthed socket, a differential switch, separate circuits and enough plugs. General lighting, i.e., which illuminates the entire room, must be powerful, but diffuse and homogeneous. The most suitable are pendant lamps, Although also can be achieved with floor lamps or broad beam spotlights. Ambient lighting, which get cozy spaces, has to be subdued, with incandescent bulbs no greater than 60w., on foot or desk lamps. To illuminate certain, such as a table or a figure objects, it is best used closed, with intense and sharp light beam bulbs. Each area of the House needs a different atmosphere. In the bathroom, the light has to be as natural as possible, with some 50 w halogen floodlights.

Arsenic is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol As and atomic number 33. This is a notorious poisonous metalloid that has three allotropic forms; yellow, black and grey. Arsenic and its compounds are used as pesticides, herbicides and insecticides and various alloys.
1 Notable Characteristics
4 Occurrence
5 Precautions
Notable Characteristics
Arsenic is chemically very similar to its predecessor phosphorus, so much so that it will partly substitute for it in biochemical reactions and is thus poisonous. When heated it rapidly oxidizes to arsenous oxide, which has a garlic odor. Arsenic and some arsenic compounds can also sublime upon heating, converting to gaseous form directly. Elemental arsenic is found in two solid forms: yellow and gray/metallic, with specific gravities of 1.97 and 5.73, respectively.
Lead arsenate has been used, well into the 20th century, as a pesticide on fruit trees (resulting in neurological damage to those working the sprayers), and copper arsenate has even been recorded in the 19th century as a coloring agent in sweets. Other uses;
Various agricultural insecticides and poisons.
Gallium arsenide is an important semiconductor material, used in integrated circuits. Circuits made using the compound are much faster (but also much more expensive) than those made in silicon. Unlike silicon it is direct bandgap, and so can be used in is used in laser diodes and LEDs to directly convert electricity into light.
Arsenic trioxide has been used in hematology to treat patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia that are resistant to ATRA treatment
Also used in; bronzing, pyrotechny
Arsenic (Greek arsenikon, meaning "yellow orpiment") has been known and used since ancient times. It has been frequently used for murder, the symptoms of arsenic poisoning being somewhat ill-defined, until the advent of the Marsh test, a sensitive chemical test for its presence.
Albertus Magnus is believed to have been the first to isolate the element in 1250. In 1649 Johann Schroeder published two ways of preparing arsenic.
Arsenopyrite also called mispickel (FeSAsAs) is the most common mineral from which, on heating, the arsenic sublimes leaving ferrous sulfide.
The most important compounds of arsenic are white arsenic, its sulfide, Paris green, calcium arsenate, and lead arsenate. Paris green, calcium arsenate, and lead arsenate have been used as agricultural insecticides and poisons. It is sometimes found native, but usually combined with silver, cobalt, nickel, iron, antimony, or sulfur.
Arsenic and many of its compounds are especially potent poisons. Arsenic kills by massively disrupting the digestive system, leading to death from shock. See arsenic poisoning.

It looks like 2018 is shaping up to be a great year of big-screen eye candy for science fiction fans. From a new entry in the Star Wars anthology films to movies based on favorite books and mangas, there's going to be something for just about everyone in 2018's slate of sci-fi films.
While it is a little hard to predict how good a movie will be when trailers or even plot details aren't fully available yet, we can make some educated guesses on which ones will be worth your time. Here's a look at the sci-fi movies that we think will be the ones to watch for when they finally hit theaters in 2018.
The upcoming Star Wars film about Han Solo has hit some bumps along the way, but we're confident that it will be one of the must-watch movies of the year. The standalone movie will follow a young Han Solo (played by Alden Ehrenreich) and his exploits before the events of Star Wars: A New Hope. The rest of the cast includes some familiar names, if not faces; Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino) is slated to appear as a young Lando Calrissian, while Joonas Suotamo will take over the role of Chewbacca from Peter Mayhew for this installment. In addition to these established Star Wars characters, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Thandie Newton, Ian Kenny, Warwick Davis, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge will all appear in supporting roles.
While shooting was underway in early 2017, production was halted after Lucasfilm fired co-directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller due to ongoing creative conflicts between the pair and both Lucasfilm executive Kathleen Kennedy and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan. However, not all hope is lost — Lucasfilm hired the extremely competent Ron Howard as the new director to finish the principal photography and reshoots, which were completed in October 2017. Disney is still keeping details about Solo under wraps for now: aside from some leaked photos from the set, fans haven't seen any actual footage from the movie yet. While there has been much speculation that Disney will release a trailer during the Super Bowl on February 4, there's been no official word yet. Hopefully, the rumors are true — a trailer would give fans something to salivate over (and help alleviate their concerns) until Solo brings us back to a galaxy far, far away on May 25, 2018.
Due to hit theaters on June 22, 2018, the newest installment in the Jurassic Park film franchise promises a return to its roots as well as a much darker tone along the lines of The Empire Strikes Back. While we don't have full plot details yet, here's what we know so far: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and B. D. Wong will reprise their roles from Jurassic World, and Jeff Goldblum is back as the philosophical Dr. Ian Malcolm — his first return to the franchise since 1997's The Lost World. Malcolm's importance in this sequel is hinted at strongly in the film's tagline: "Life Finds a Way." Joining this returning cast are new faces, including Ted Levine, Rafe Spall, Toby Jones, Geraldine Chaplin, Daniella Pineda, and Justice Smith.
The official trailer makes it clear that Fallen Kingdom focuses largely on the abandoned Isla Nublar, where the remaining dinosaurs — including the original Jurassic Park Tyrannosaurus Rex — are in grave danger from a volcanic eruption. As Claire and Owen try to save the creatures and locate his trained raptor Blue, they also uncover a conspiracy of epic proportions. Hints from those involved with the movie indicate that this plot may involve rival labs hatching their own dinosaurs off the island and the consequences of their greed. With a promise that this sequel will be "more suspenseful and scary" than previous installments, and with horror director J.A. Bayona at the helm, we're sure that Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom will be a must-watch for 2018.
Unlike many of the other science fiction films on our list, Captive State isn't based on a best-selling novel or manga. Instead, it is a feature-film adaptation of a screenplay written by Rupert Wyatt and his wife Erica Beeney — a screenplay that spurred a bidding war for the rights. Wyatt will also direct the movie, marking his return to big-screen directing after spending 2016 working on the pilot episode for Fox's horror television series The Exorcist. The film will star John Goodman, Vera Farmiga, Ashton Sanders, Jonathan Majors, Kevin Dunn, and Machine Gun Kelly, among others.
At this point, we know very little about the plot of the film beyond the official description: "Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by an extraterrestrial force, Captive State explores the lives on both sides of the conflict — the collaborators and dissidents." While we don't know yet what side of that conflict John Goodman's character will be on, a set photo featuring him was released in May 2017, showing Goodman sitting in some sort of bunker-like chamber, wearing a respirator and military load-out vest on top of a tailored suit. The fact alone that this is an alien invasion movie set years after the actual invasion makes Captive State an exciting new sci-fi feature to watch for. You can catch it in theaters on August 17, 2018.
Slated for an August 24 release, Replicas is an upcoming science fiction thriller from director Jeffrey Nachmanoff (The Day After Tomorrow, The Tourist). Although Replicas isn't due to hit theaters until August, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2017 — and a full trailer for the movie is available already. Replicas stars Keanu Reeves as Will Foster, a synthetic biologist who uses a cutting edge (and highly illegal) experimental procedure to bring his family back to "life" after they're killed in a car accident. In the process, Foster puts himself and his family at risk by drawing the attention of a special police force and a government-controlled laboratory. Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness) plays Will's wife Mona, with Thomas Middleditch, Emily Alyn Lind, John Ortiz, Emjay Anthony, and Nyasha Hatendi rounding out the main supporting roles.
The Darkest Minds is an upcoming science fiction/superpowers movie based on the novel of the same name by Alexandra Bracken. It's being directed by Annie Award-winning Kung Fu Panda 2 director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, who will be making her live-action directorial debut with The Darkest Minds.
Years after a disease sweeps America, killing nearly all of the children, the surviving kids develop uncontrollable superhuman abilities and are confined to internment camps around the nation. Amandla Stenberg — who you may recognize as "Rue" from The Hunger Games — will star as Ruby, a girl who decides to break out of the camp and join a group of rebel teens in a plot to bring down the authoritarian government which wants them kept under lock and key.
Joining Stenberg are Harris Dickinson, Mandy Moore, Patrick Gibson, Skylan Brooks, and Gwendoline Christie, who will play a brutal bounty hunter tasked with tracking down the missing teens. Being based on a young-adult novel, the live-action adaptation of The Darkest Minds will likely be a PG-13 film that will appeal to teens and families in addition to adult fans of the books and dystopian sci-fi in general. It's scheduled to premiere on September 14, 2018.
While The Predator is actually the fourth film in the main series of Predator movies, chronologically, it is the third movie—set in 2018, between the events of 1990's Predator 2 and and 2010's Predators. We don't know much about the plot yet, but some tantalizing details have allowed us to read between the lines.
It will star Boyd Holbrook as Quinn McKenna — an ex-Marine who discovers that the Predators exist, and recruits a team to help him hunt them down. Rounding out his team include castmates Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan Michael-Key, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, and child actor Jacob Tremblay, who will play Quinn's son. The other supporting cast members include Yvonne Strahovski and Edward James Olmos, as well as Jake Busey — he will make an appearance as the son of "Peter Keyes" from Predator 2 — a character which was played by Jake's father, Gary Busey.
Filming wrapped in June 2017, and the movie is scheduled to premiere August 3rd, 2018. Shane Black (who played "Hawkins" in the original Predator) has returned to the franchise — this time as the director. In an interview with Collider, Trevante Rhodes revealed that he "can't wait" for people to see The Predator, and called it "ha-ha hard R" — referring both to the violent traditions of the Predator franchise and director/writer Shane Black's legendary sense of humor. Black apparently wants to keep the spirit of the original film alive with this sequel, and has made it clear that it won't be rated PG-13. Cast member Sterling K. Brown has also dropped hints that The Predator will have many "wicked" funny moments, much like the original film. If Black can truly capture the nostalgia of Predator while keeping the story fresh, The Predator should be a 2018 sci-fi blockbuster.
Based on the novel of the same name by Philip Reeve, Mortal Engines will take us into a futuristic steampunk world following the ravages of a "Sixty Minute War." In this future, cities are now mobile, moving around the world propelled by gigantic engines and wheels. Along the way, the cities cannibalize smaller towns to replenish their own resources. We've gotten a glimpse of this horrifying concept brought to life for the big screen in the first Mortal Engines teaser trailer, which was released in December 2017.
Long-time Peter Jackson storyboard artist and collaborator Christian Rivers will make his feature-film directorial debut with Mortal Engines, while Jackson will produce. The screenplay was also written by Jackson, along with his frequent writing partners Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh.
Several other crew members from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films are also on board for Mortal Engines, including Zane Weiner and Amanda Walker. Starring Robert Sheehan, Hera Hilmar, Ronan Raftery, and Hugo Weaving, science fiction fans have a lot to look forward to on December 14, 2018 — Mortal Engines should be a visual extravaganza with a compelling story that will blow viewers away.
ollowing in the footsteps of Oldboy and Ghost in the Shell, Alita: Battle Angel will bring us the latest science fiction movie based on a manga when it hits theaters on July 20, 2018. The movie is directed by famed director Robert Rodriguez, who has brought us such gems as El Mariachi, Desperado, From Dusk til Dawn, Sin City, Four Rooms, and Spy Kids.
Starring as the title character is Rosa Salazar, with a supporting cast including Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Michelle Rodriguez, Keean Johnson, and Jennifer Connelly, among others. Plot details have been scarce so far, but we do know that it will focus primarily on the plot of the manga's first four volumes, particularly on the futuristic sport of "motorball." Along with revealing a unique and stylized look for Alita in the film, the first full trailer also teased a battle between the cyborg heroine and Makaku — her first major adversary from the manga.
The film has been a passion project of producer James Cameron, who became a fan of Yukito Kishiro's original manga nearly two decades ago. He's been trying to get the film made ever since then, although he's had to delay production along the way in order to finish his Avatar films and develop the additional technology needed to do Alita correctly. With Cameron and Rodriguez leading the way, Alita: Battle Angel is sure to please science fiction fans, action fans, and manga fans alike.
