Nick Nolte Joins ‘The Mandalorian’

Posted on by

Hollywoodreporter.com got the exclusive scoop:

Veteran actor Nick Nolte has joined the cast of The Mandalorian, the live-action Star Wars series that will launch on Disney’s streaming Service, Disney+.

The known cast includes Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano. The series, which is already in production, is heavy on visual effects, costumes and makeup, which will allow actors to come and go as well as, in some cases, be cast later in the production process than usual.

Jon Favreau wrote the series and is executive producing along with Kathleen Kennedy, Colin Wilson and Dave Filoni. Filoni will also direct episodes, as will with Taika Waititi, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rick Famuyiwa and Deborah Chow.

Adam Driver Won’t Take Pictures With Fans for Charity?

Posted on by

Via eonline.com:

Adam Driver knows his worth, and he won’t sell his soul—not even for charity.

In a wide-ranging conversation with Vulture published Monday, the 34-year-old actor spoke frankly about what he will and won’t do to support Arts in the Armed Forces, the nonprofit organization he started a decade ago. Through various fundraising efforts, the organization says it aims to bring “high-quality arts programming to active duty service members, veterans, military support staff and their families around the world free of charge.” Driver, who served for two years and eight months in the United States Marine Corps, could leverage his celebrity status to promote his cause—particularly as he’s a prominent player in the current Star Wars trilogy. But, as he tells the magazine, the fame game isn’t something he’s interested in playing.

Admittedly, Driver said, “In terms of this nonprofit, we could probably be doing even better financially if I wasn’t one of the people at the head because I’m so unwilling to do so many things—or talk to people in general.” Moreover, he said he wants to avoid “getting into favors.”

“It’s not about me and Star Wars. It’s about the people that we’re trying to serve,” Driver said, matter-of-factly. “And if you don’t get that, then I’d rather not be associated with your money.”

“I didn’t used to feel comfortable fundraising. Like, ‘Yeah we’re interested in your mission but could you take a picture with my daughter? She’s a big Star Wars fan and if you do that I’ll give you $100,000.’ No, I’m not going to take it. Is there nobody that is just philanthropic for the sake of it? Is there always some picture with your kid? I don’t want AITAF things to turn into Star Wars events,” said Driver, who was never deployed. “But then you say, ‘No,’ and you’ve pissed somebody off. I don’t know that I ever handled that badly; I just took it too personally.”

Even now, Driver added he will “still say no” to people who make similar offers.

Sideshow Charity Auctions to benefit LUX Junior Development Cycling Team

Posted on by

Sideshow has been dedicated to supporting charities for many years, most notably the Make-a-Wish Foundation and the Mike Nosco Foundation. We’ve raised money via auctions for seriously ill kids who were looking for a bright moment in their otherwise difficult situation.

More recently, we’ve attempted to focus on smaller groups that serve our local community but often struggle with their fundraising. One of the unsung groups that has done amazing work in our community is the LUX Junior Development Cycling Team, a nationally recognized bike racing team for exceptional riders under 18 years old.  The LUX mission is to support and educate gifted young bike riders in the Southern California area by providing guidance on and off the bike.  Some of these kids are among the most elite bike racers in the nation and already race on an international level.

Early Look – Youtini – A Star Wars Book Box

Posted on by

Youtini is the first ever STAR WARS book subscription box! Every month they will ship STAR WARS books right to your doorstep – Canon AND Legends material – along with official STAR WARS merchandise & Youtini-branded gear. 

They are currently in a Prelaunch stage with an official product launch on December 22, 2017. At that time, they will begin taking paid subscribers and announce our official product lineup. The first shipments will go out in late January or early February. Part of that decision is dependent on the book release schedule that is currently planned for announcement following The Last Jedi premiere.

The current plan is to offer 3 different products at launch offered on a monthly basis:

The Youtini Box priced in the $35-40 range which includes: 

  • The most recent STAR WARS Canon novel released within the last 30 days
  • A STAR WARS Legends novel that fits our theme and perfectly pairs with the previously mentioned Canon book
  • A curated guide outlining how each book fits into the big picture and STAR WARS timeline, backstories to the books, and our reasoning behind choosing them for this month’s box
  • Personally-selected STAR WARS merchandise
  • Specialty and limited edition Youtini branded gear

The Youtini Bag priced in the $18-25 range: Either Canon or Legends Edition which includes:

  • Either the same Canon or Legends book we send in the Youtini Box that month
  • The same guided reading guide materials and low scale Youtini-branded merchandise.

The product offering may changed based on customer demand during the Prelaunch series. They are very open to ideas. Following Launch, we will begin exploring other product offerings including graphic novels, comics, toys, and other collectibles.

Products and pricing are subject to change and they are open to customer feedback, so let us know if you have any suggestions and we will share them, or check them out at the links below:
