Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

In an interesting twist, a jury deciding the fate of Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes said they were unable to reach a unanimous sentencing decision, resulting in life in prison without parole instead of the death penalty for the man who killed 12 people and wounded 70 others at a screening of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in 2012, according to reports.

For Holmes to be sentenced to death, it would require that every juror agree to the punishment. According to NBC News, it became clear that a unanimous verdict would not be reached after seven of hours of deliberation:

“We ended our deliberations when one absolutely would not move,” [a] juror, who only identified herself as “juror 17,” told reporters after the verdict Friday. Two other jurors were “on the fence” about the death penalty, she said. The jury rejected arguments from Holmes’ defense attorneys that he was legally insane when he carried out the attack and found him guilty of 24 counts of murder — two for each person he killed. Holmes’ lawyers then argued it would be inhumane to execute a man who suffered from mental illness. Juror 17 said the issue of mental illness appeared to be the reason the juror refused to vote to sentence Holmes to death. “There was no other concern,” she said.

At a press conference on Friday, District Attorney George Brauchler expressed disappointment with the sentencing verdict.

“Those jurors did a hell of a job. They were called to do things that many people wouldn’t or couldn’t do,” said Brauchler. “I thought death, I still think death for what that guy did, but the system said otherwise and I respect that outcome.”

‘Fantastic Four’ is the worst superhero movie in the last 5 years.

According to Variety, ‘Fantastic Four’ is a major failure in the box office. With a $120 million dollar budget, the super hero reboot is on track to make only $28 million. The movie is so bad even the ‘Fantastic Four’ director, Josh Trank has distanced himself from the ending.

‘Fantastic Four’ is so bad in fact, the last major superhero movie to be released that bombed in the box office was ‘The Green Hornet’ and that movie made $33.5 million in 2011.

To add insult to injury ‘Fantastic Four’ is currently labeled as the worst reviewed movie in Marvel history. ‘Fantastic Four’ is not only sitting at one of the lowest movie review scores of 2015, but the rating is tied with ‘Elektra’ one of the worst movies ever made.

Judging from the reviews, the biggest problem with ‘Fantastic Four’ has to do with the storyline.

Will this end the ‘Fantastic Four’ franchise? Should we expect Marvel to finally take back control of the superheroes from Fox?

Learn how Heath Ledger got into character of the Joker by using a secret diary.

Many people believe that Heath Ledger’s dedication to immersing himself into the role of the Joker led him to his tragic death, and a look inside the actor’s “Joker Diary” is a clear reminder of how committed Ledger was to the role and acting.

In a German documentary titled ‘Too Young to Die,’ Heath Ledger’s father, Kim Ledger, shared details about Heath Ledger’s dedication to playing the role of Joker.

It was eerily innocent.

The diary featured a childish cover featuring cartoons but, once you open the “Joker Diary” you will see it was far from innocent.

Sick and Twisted Role models

The Joker Diary features a ton of twisted characters such as hyenas from Lion King and the character “Alex” from Stanley Kubrick’s ‘A Clockwork Orange’.

How Heath Ledger created “The Joker Diary”

While going through the diary, Heath Ledger’s father confirms that his son cut himself off from society in order to dig into the Joker’s twisted mentality and character.

“He galvanized the upcoming character. That was typical of Heath. He would do that. He liked to dive into his characters, but this time he really took it up a notch.”

Before his death, Heath Ledger discussed how he created the director, and in turn learned how to speak like a sociopathic killer like The Joker, he explained to Empire that:

“I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices – it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh.

I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath – someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts.

He’s just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown, and Chris has given me free rein. Which is fun, because there are no real boundaries to what The Joker would say or do. Nothing intimidates him, and everything is a big joke.”

Heath Ledger studied the history of The Joker

Alongside drawings and inspiration for sick and twisted characters, Ledger also studied all of the Joker’s past evil deads in the DC Comic universe.

The diary also contained a shot of the original makeup test for the Joker with an erratically scrawled note that Ledger had added later that reads:

8 MONTHS AGO WRAPPED NOW!

The diary’s final pages features the words “BYE BYE” written over a page, and although Ledger was probably saying goodbye to the character, Ledger would eventually pass away.

“At the end of shooting, he wrote goodbye on the back of the last page. It was hard to read that.”

The director of ‘Fantastic Four’ is now blaming the studio for the poor movie reviews.

Josh Trank, the director of ‘Fantastic Four’, tweeted that he had a “fantastic” version of the movie a year ago that would have received better reviews but that version will never be seen.

Trank shared the twitter on Thursday but later deleted the comment later on. In the tweet Josh Trank says he was happy with a version made a year ago, implied that the studio made changes and that his version will now never be seen, adding “that’s reality though.”

As we reported earlier this week, production of ‘Fantastic Four’ was filled with problems including Trank’s “erratic” behavior and unusual conduct on set.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 9%, based on 110 reviews, with an average rating of 3.4/10. The site’s critical consensus reads, “Dull and downbeat, this Fantastic Four proves a woefully misguided attempt to translate a classic comic series without the humor, joy, or colorful thrills that made it great.”
