Former 20th Century Studios Executive Emma Watts Named President of Paramount Pictures

“The move reunites Gianopulos with Watts — the two worked together at 20th Century Fox for decades and enjoyed a close collaboration on hit franchises such as “Planet of the Apes” and “Kingsman.” It was Watts’ ability to oversee big, tentpole features that helped earn her the job.”

“Hey, #AlitaArmy, we have decided to cancel our Trending Push on June 4th at 1100 UTC for #/AlitaFallenAngel to honor a fallen man. There is a right time for everything, now is the time to mourn for the loss of a precious life and to stand together. We honor #GeorgeFloyd”

In Memory of George Floyd

George Floyd is an African American man who was killed by members of the Minneapolis Police Department May 25, 2020. The circumstances of his death while in police custody are shocking & disgusting. The country, and the world, are shaken by the video showing his last moments. Police brutality against African Americans must not be tolerated any longer.

Write the city & state officials and let them know that George’s death is unacceptable. They work for YOU. https://www.sos.state.mn.us/elections-voting/get-involved/contact-your-elected-representatives/

Please help us ease the suffering of his surviving family members by donating to the Official George Floyd Memorial Fund. https://www.gofundme.com/f/georgefloyd

Cinemablend Covers The Alita Army’s “#AlitaSequel” Billboard & Charity

“Part of the billboard’s message is indeed raising awareness for the #AlitaSequel campaign, but there’s another very important message. With Alita: Battle Angel star Rosa Salazar taking part in philanthropic efforts to battle the current health crisis, the Alita Army is planning to donate from this new fundraiser to the charities Feeding America and Action Against Hunger.”

Feed the hungry and help people in need!

The current health crisis (global pandemic) and the shutdowns associated with slowing the spread have lead to job losses and financial hardship in many parts of the world. Food, water, and shelter – the basics of living – are unavailable to those in hardship. This happens in the US as well as in many other countries. The decision to help on a national OR international level is challenging. So we decided to support two different organizations equally, one with a national focus and one on an international level. Half will go to Feeding America.

https://www.feedingamerica.org/

The other half goes to Action Against Hunger which operates in the poorest 50 countries.

https://www.actionagainsthunger.org/

Both these causes do great work for those in need, and we hope the Billboard will attract donations from philanthropists both within and beyond the ranks of the #AlitaArmy, amplifying our social reach and our message simultaneously.

But Wait! There’s More! Follow Rosa Salazar’s Lead (Extra-Level)! Rosa Salazar has recently shared an Amazon wish-list with necessary items for homeless people living on the streets of Los Angeles (people whose lives are heavily impacted by the consequences of the pandemic). This fundraiser is local to the billboard, and important to our Battle Angel! Rosa worked with local support groups personally on the streets and supplied the homeless with necessities like tents, sleeping bags, hygiene articles of all sorts, band-aids, and much more. It is a very great thing but sadly we can’t cover this with our fundraiser, but we felt we should link to this. It is more tailored for individual support. So if you want to help in this regard then follow the Amazon wish-list link that is down below.

This is the link to the wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EP5MXX1N23Q3/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&type=wishlist&linkCode=sl2&tag=74200e-20&linkId=b8efdf1669e592b03cbd933b97b34ce6&language=en_US
