'All the tools and expertise'

Unlike standard albums, where each track stands alone, a concept album uses its songs as chapters in a greater narrative or as pieces of a larger thematic puzzle. This approach has been a cornerstone of artistic innovation in rock music, pushing the genre beyond simple entertainment into the realms of storytelling, social commentary, and deep personal expression. Concept albums have profoundly influenced rock music across all its sub-genres, from the expansive soundscapes of progressive rock to the introspective explorations of psychedelic rock, the infectious melodies of pop rock, and the raw energy of classic rock and roll.

News Spider-Man Shang-Chi Director Destin Daniel Cretton May Go From Rings to Web Slings He’s doing whatever a former indie film director can By Molly Templeton | Published on September 10, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share Since the 2021 release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, director Destin Daniel Cretton has stayed close with the Marvel Studios empire. Along with developing the Shang-Chi sequel, he co-created the upcoming series Wonder Man, and was attached to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty before leaving the project last fall. That departure seems to have opened the door to new superhero possibilities—because now he’s in talks to direct the next Spider-Man film. The Hollywood Reporter says, “Sources say that Spider-Man 4 is running, not crawling, full steam ahead and will shoot early next year.” It will be the fourth spider-film to star Tom Holland as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, following the memory-altering events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The writers of that film, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, are back for the next, though no one is saying much about what the story might cover. In 2023, Tom Holland spoke about a potential fourth film to The Hollywood Reporter, saying he’d been in development meetings about the film: “The first few meetings were about, ‘Why would we do this again?’ And I think we found the reason why.” There is not yet an official release date set for Spider-Man 4.[end-mark] The post <i>Shang-Chi</i> Director Destin Daniel Cretton May Go From Rings to Web Slings appeared first on Reactor.

News Maigret Maigret: Masterpiece Unveils New Series Based on Georges Simenon’s Books The famous detective series has a brand new adaptation around the corner. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 10, 2024 Credit: Benjamin Wainwright; image courtesy of Masterpiece Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Benjamin Wainwright; image courtesy of Masterpiece There’s a new murder mystery series coming to Masterpiece, and this one is a contemporary adaptation of Georges Simenon’s legendary Parisian Chief Inspector, Jules Maigret. The series, aptly titled Maigret, has started production in Budapest. It comes from Patrick Harbinson (Homeland, 24, The Tower), who serves as lead writer and will direct the first two episodes. Simenon’s Maigret is an icon in the murder mystery space. The author penned 75 novels and 28 short stories starting in 1930, making it second only to Sherlock Holmes in terms of sales. The stories center on Chief Inspector Jules Maigret, who lived and worked in Paris and solved crimes by understanding people’s motivations. This adaptation, according to Masterpiece, “reframes Maigret as an unconventional young detective with something to prove, a rising star in the Police Judiciaire, relentless in his investigations, with an uncanny ability to get under the skin of the criminals he is chasing and a matchless knowledge of Paris and its inhabitants. Faithfully and lovingly married to Madame Maigret, Maigret heads the elite police unit known as La Crim, responsible for investigating all serious crime in and around Paris.” Jules Maigret will be played by Benjamin Wainwright (pictured above, whose credits include Belgravia: The Next Chapter and Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim), with Stefanie Martini (The Gold, Last Kingdom, Emerald City) starring as Madame Louise Maigret. The “Les Maigrets,” the Chief Inspector’s loyal cohorts, are played by Blake Harrison (World on Fire, I Hate Suzie Too), Reda Elazouar (Sex Education, Pirates), Kerrie Hayes (The Responder, Criminal Record), Shaniqua Okwok (The Flatshare, It’s a Sin), and Rob Kazinsky (Star Trek: Section 31, Eastenders). Nathalie Armin (Showtrial S2, Juice) is taking on the role of Prosecutor Mathilde Kernavel. “Maigret will be a perfect addition to Masterpiece’s line up of Mystery! Shows,” Susanne Simpson, Masterpiece’s Head of Scripted Content said in a statement. “Our partners at Playground have assembled an incredible cast and creative team, and our audience is going to love Inspector Maigret and his unique style of crime solving.” No news yet on when the series will premiere on Masterpiece.
