Illegal immigrants interrupted a model’s photo shoot in Miami, Florida as they jump from the boat and run towards the shore.
According to Daily Mail, Ekaterina Juskowski was filming her model friend on the beach about 6am on July 10 when she noticed the boat in the background. She turned off the camera, thinking it was just scuba divers returning from an exciting trip, but quickly started filming again when she saw several men run towards show without the boat.
‘That’s a testament to how confident these organizations are – what we call transnational criminal organizations – who smuggle criminals and narcotics right onto the beach,’ U.S. Border Patrol spokesperson Frank Miller told the New Times Broward-Palm Beach.
‘There has been an increase in known maritime smuggling in Florida – from Key West all along the Florida coast – from fiscal year 2014 to now,’ he said.
Experts arguing that the migration boat is driven by criminal trafficking rings.

Over 200 TV shows and feature films have applied to film in California and use their expanded tax credit program.
The California Film Commission has announced 254 movie projects applied for their $55.2 million in tax credits under the state’s expanded program illustrating the state’s strong demand for production.
According to reports, the commission received 32 applications for feature films to receive $48.3 million funds and another 222 applications fro $6.9 million in funds for indie films. The application process was only 12 days long.
California’s 6-year-old incentive program has been expanded from $100 million in tax credits annually to $330 million — and feature film projects with budgets of more than $75 million are now eligible. Eight features received credits last year: Clint Eastwood’s “Jersey Boys” and “American Sniper,” “Horrible Bosses 2,” Mark Wahlberg’s “The Gambler,” “Earth to Echo,” “The Purge: Anarchy,” “Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones” and “Ouija” with $7.9 million.
Earlier this year, the California film commission announced that ‘Veep,’ ‘American Horror Story,’ ‘Secrets and Lies’ and ‘Hindsight’ have been approved to receive $27 million in tax credits for relocating to California, therefore taking away several major productions from Baltimore, New Orleans, Wilmington, and Atlanta, respectively.
The new program also provides that the selection for tax credits be based on each project’s “jobs ratio score,” which provides a ranking according to wages paid to below the line workers and qualified spending for vendors. Producers of the top ranked movie projects were notified earlier this week that they have been selected to begin the second phase of the process for further evaluation. News of which shows and movies relocating to California will be announced in August.
Instead of sitting in front of the TV and watching Ryan Gosling knocking on random people’s doors, people are changing the channel and either binge-watching Netflix or getting some fresh air.
According to a new report by The Hollywood Reporter, all of the new summer shows are experiencing horrible ratings and analysts worry that the ratings will continue to plunge.
It turns out Ryan Seacrest has about the same appeal as encyclopedia salesmen and evangelists in terms of whom Americans want to see show up at their doorstep. Fox’s feel-good Knock Knock: Live, emceed and produced by TV’s go-to host, joined summer’s growing list of ratings losers when it debuted July 21 — leaving many to question the value in keeping so many soft performers on the air. “Every summer it seems like there’s a new threshold,” says media analyst Brad Adgate. “The floor is really low. There’s a strategy now to run originals, not reruns, so networks are going to air the full orders whether something is a hit or not.”
Season 3 of ‘Rectify’ only has 280,000 viewers, NBC’s new series ‘Welcome to Sweden’ was already cancelled after only one episode, and The CW’s ‘Dates’ currently has a .1 rating in the key demographic, which is terrible.

Will we start seeing more security at movie theaters after the Lafayette movie theater shooting?
Following shooting death of two women and the injuring of nine others at The Grand 16 multiplex in Lafayette, Louisiana, many people have proposed solutions to battle the massacre problem at our local movie theaters.
Several people have proposed allowing all military personal the right to carry concealed weapons at all locations including movie theaters. While others suggest we add metal detectors. It doesn’t look like none of the above will ever be in place.
Absent a widespread surge in violence, “It does not seem like there is an urgency to resort to such measures,” says Rentrak analyst Paul Dergarabedian, noting that the Lafayette shooting did not noticeably affect moviegoing during the July 24 weekend. Instead, he says, “Theater managers will most certainly be more aware, vigilant and conscious of the safety of their patrons.”
It begs the question- why not? Why aren’t movie theaters placing more security at our local movie theaters? Well, according to reports, movie theaters don’t want to pay for the extra cost of additional security and filmmakers are afraid, metal detectors will distract from the movie-going experience.
The cost of the equipment is only about $5,000, but personnel to run a proper checkpoint can cost $250,000 a year in smaller markets and $1 million in big cities.
“You will have to tell your customers to come a half-hour early to wait in a security line.”
In a weird twist, movie theaters are planning on adding additional security for the upcoming ‘Straight Outta Compton‘, because a hip-hop movies really promote massacre like behavior?
Netflix CEO defends Adam Sandler in a press conference saying he’s an “international star.”
Adam Sandler used to be the man. Everything he touched turned into comedic magic. However, in Hollywood you are only as good as your last movie and Adam Sandler is looking bad…real bad. Adam Sandler’s ‘Pixels’ had a very weak debut and it is easily added to the list of recent box office disappointments for the comedian.
But, Ted Sarandos told reporters that he still stands behind Adam Sandler calling Sandler an “international star.”
“[Pixels] did $24 million domestically, $25 million internationally, and a third of our subscribers are outside of the U.S.,” said Sarandos during an appearance at the Television Critics Association summer press tour. “That’s why we made a deal with Adam Sandler, because he’s an enormous international movie star. That $25 million opening for Pixels is pretty respectable, and I think it will continue to grow.”
Netflix CEO may be reaching her. Adam Sandler’s movies have not done that well internationally. ‘Blended’ bombed domestically with $46.3 million in the US and earning slightly higher internationally with $80.5 million.
It will be interesting to see if ‘The Ridiculous 6‘ movie, which several Native Americans actors complained about the movie for being extremely racist, will shake things up for Adam Sandler’s career. Otherwise, Netflix will have to depend on ‘The Do Over,’ which is currently filming in Savannah, Georgia.
Rumors suggest that Netflix is creating a new Marvel series called ‘Thunderbolts’
While the Marvel has superhero movies planned from now until 2019, much less is known about their plans for the TV side of their productions.
Earlier this year, Netflix released ‘Daredevil’ surprising both fans and critics with their different approach to the superhero franchise. Currently, Netflix is pre-production for ‘Iron Fist’ and ‘Luke Cage’ However, according to a new report by That Hashtag Show, Marvel has pointed out that phase 2 of their filmmaking cycle with Netflix will focus on the ‘Thunderbolts’.
The ‘Thunderbolts’ is a spinoff of DC comic’s ‘Suicide Squad’, instead of a group of superheroes, ‘Thunderbolts’ are a group of Marvel villains and antiheroes who claim to have been reformed. Their origin story had one of the biggest twists in comic book history, according to many, and there are several different storylines that can be followed, which is good news for Netflix. In addition, members of the ‘Thunderbolts’ are making their premiere on ‘Daredevil’ season 2 and other Marvel movies, which will eventually open the door to the ‘Thunderbolts’ Netflix series.
It looks like the second phase of Marvel/Netflix production will get bigger and better with time. Although most of the members of the ‘Thunderbolts’ are more grounded characters from the comics, it is clear that there will be bigger explosions, fight scenes over time in the Netflix world of Marvel.
Marvel is currently filming ‘Captain America: Civil War’ in Atlanta, Georgia. If you are a huge Marvel fan, check out our guide to landing a role on ‘Captain America 3’ here.
How Jamie Foxx forced producers to rewrite and possible ruin the original ending of ‘Miami Vice’
‘Miami Vice’ is called by many as a huge failure. But, behind the scenes the producers, cast and crew suffered impossible obstacles including Jamie Foxx leaving halfway into the movie.
The 2006 ‘Miami Vice’ feature film centered around two Miami police detectives, Crockett and Tubbs, who go undercover to fight drug trafficking operations. The film, written, directed, and produced by Michael Mann, is an adaptation of the 1980s TV series of the same name. The film stars Jamie Foxx as Tubbs and Colin Farrellas Crockett, as well as Chinese actress Gong Li as Isabella. On a budget of $135 million, the movie only earned $164 million making it a major disappoint in the box office.
But, there movie faced major issues from the beginning. Here are the biggest issues the movie faced while in production.
1. Hurricanes
‘Miami Vice’ was shot on location in the Caribbean, Uruagay and South Florida. However, the movie lost seven days of filming due to several hurricanes including ‘Hurricane Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. The delays forced the movie to go over budget. In addition, several crew members criticized Mann’s decisions during production such as filming in unsafe weather conditions, and choosing locations that “even the police avoid, drafting gang members to work as security.”
2. Jamie Foxx
It is interesting to point out that Jamie Foxx brought up the idea of ‘Miami Vice’ while filming ‘Ali’. This led Michael Mann to revisit the series he helped create. However, once filming started Jamie Foxx frequently got into altercations with Mann.
According to reports, Jamie Foxx refused to fly commercially, forcing Universal to give him a private jet. He also would not appear in any scenes on boats or planes. In addition, after gunshots were fired on set in the Dominican Republic, Jamie Foxx packed up and refused to return. This forced Mann to re-write the entire movie’s ending, which some crew members characterized as less dramatic than the original.
Jamie Foxx, who won an Academy Award, also complained about his co-star Colin Farrell’s larger salary, which Foxx didn’t reflect his new status as an Oscar winner; consequently, reports Slate: “Foxx got a big raise while Farrell took a bit of a cut.” Slate also reported that Foxx demanded top billing after winning an Oscar.
3. Drug Busts
In order to put his actors in character, Mann hired real FBI drug squads to bring Colin Farrell to drug busts so the actor could build up the character of Crockett even more. It was later revealed that those drug busts were fake but, he never told Colin Farrell.
‘Miami Vice’ could have been better
‘Miami Vice’ would open at No. 1 in the US, beating ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ out of the number one position at the box office that weekend, after Johnny Depp led the box office for almost a full month.
In its opening weekend, the film grossed over $25.7 million. The film would go on to earn $63.5 million domestically. Miami Vice would do better internationally.
Overall the film grossed $164 million worldwide helping to further surpass the reported $135 million budget.
Terrence Howard (Empire) is getting sued by his ex-wife for assault and defamation.
Terrence Howard’s ex-wife filed a lawsuit against the actor on Tuesday claiming he assaulted her in 2013. In the complaint filed in Los Angeles, Michelle Howard claims the alleged assault took place while they were staying in a rental house in Costa Rica.
The civil complaint describes Terence Howard followed Plaintiff into the restroom of the rental house and punched her on the left side of her face. Defendant also grabbed Plaintiff by her neck and pushed her against the bathroom wall and strangled her for several seconds.” In addition, “grabbed her neck again and pinned her against the shower glass and her head hit the wall” when she tried to run away, leading theTerrence Howard’s son-in-law Billy tried to intervene.

“While Billy tried to pry Defendant’s hands from Plaintiff’s neck, Defendant whispered to Plaintiff, ‘Remember what I told you in Bora Bora? That is what I’m gonna do,’ referring to a a time where Terrence Howard told Michelle Howard that her body would never leave the island,” states the civil complaint. “Plaintiff interpreted the reference to mean that Defendant was going to kill her.”
Later on that night, Michelle claims, he charged at her and she pepper-sprayed him in the face. “Defendant continued swinging his arms and caused Plaintiff to fall down. While Plaintiff was on the ground, Defendant repeatedly mule-kicked Plaintiff in the head and shoulders,” states the complaint.
Michelle Howard claims assault and battery intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. In the same civil complaint, she claims he defamed her by “mak[ing] false accusations disseminated to the public through the media that Plaintiff had made death threats and other threats against Defendant and his family through various social media accounts.”

This is not the first time Terrence Howard has been accussed of spousal abuse. He was arrested in 2001 on charges of assaulting his then-wife Lori McCommas, and in Michelle’s 2011 divorce papers she claimed he repeatedly threatened to hit her throughout their marriage. In 2013, she ordered a restraining order against him on claims including the allegations regarding the Costa Rica trip.
Recently, executives, creators, and producers were questioned about Terrence Howard’s history of domestic violence and they said they were not aware of the accusations until December 2014, when they were already in business with him. “A lot of the things I did were the product of not knowing how to deal with frustration, not knowing who Terrence Howard is,” said the actor. “I’ve grown so much from anything that’s happened in the past.”

Terrence Howard is currently filming season 2 of ‘Empire‘ in Chicago, Illinois.
The state of Georgia has a new set of competition from…Georgia?
According to reports, the Caucasian country of Georgia is launching a tax rebate system next year in order to attract major film and TV producers to the former Soviet Union country.
“The minimum spend will be around $300,000 or a little bit less,” David Vashadze, head of exports and distribution at GNFC told The Hollywood Reporter. “The decision has to be made until the end of August.”
According to Vashadze, there are several factors that could attract Hollywood crews to the country.
“We think that Georgia could be an attractive location destination for Hollywood productions because of its diverse architecture, a mixture of European Asian and Soviet style,” he said. “[Also,] there are different climate zones in a small territory, within one day they could shoot snow mountains, desert and seaside.”
The country of Georgia’s film and TV tax rebate system is nothing in comparison to the state of Georgia’s tax credit system. Currently, Georgia offers a 30% tax credit on all TV shows and feature films that spend over $500,000 in the state. This has propelled Georgia to the top of the film industry due to the various and inexpensive filmmaking locations.
However, the country Georgia does provide a new environment for filmmakers. The country has already attracted several feature films including a British feature film and a TV series pilot, scheduled to shoot later this year, according to THR.
One of the biggest productions to film in Georgia is Zaza Urushadze’s Mandariinid (Tangerines), which won several awards including a Golden Globe and Oscar nominations in the best foreign film category earlier this year and had a theatrical release in the United States.
Do you think Georgia can beat Georgia in the film industry?
(Updated: Sunday, August 2, 2015) Apparently, Marvel reconsidered and officially cast Channing Tatum. According to Variety, Channing Tatum officially closed the deal to become Gambit in the upcoming Marvel movie. After stressful negotiations and arguments, Channing Tatum will be fighting crime and kicking butt.
Insiders told TheWrap on Tuesday that the studio had been in the process of testing young actresses to star alongside Tatum, including Lea Seydoux, when the deal with Tatum hit a snag. At the time, the individual suggested that director Rupert Wyatt may have found himself in the market for a new leading man as well.
Backend profits and Tatum’s extended involvement with the “X-Men” franchise beyond the “Gambit” spinoff are said to be at the source of disagreement during final stages of negotiations.
There you have it. And your chances of becoming the next ‘Gambit’ have evaporated in thin air just like the rumor that Channing Tatum was leaving the project.
Reports suggest that Channing Tatum has left the new Marvel ‘Gambit’ movie
According to reports, the studio has been auditioning several actresses alongside Channing Tatum, but the director, Rupert Wyatt now plans on finding a new Gambit.
The studio had been in the process of testing young actresses to star alongside Tatum, including Lea Seydoux, but insiders suggest that director Rupert Wyatt will soon have to find a new leading man.
One individual close to the project told TheWrap that Tatum’s reps are still in active discussions with the studio but acknowledged that “something is up.” The situation will have to be resolved quickly, as “Gambit” is slated for release on Oct. 7, 2016.
Channing Tatum recently appeared at Comic Con to hype up his new movie ‘Gambit’, a character that was originally played by Taylor Kitsch in 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

For the last few years Channing Tatum has been calling for the role of ‘Gambit’. However, Channing Tatum may have bigger dreams outside of acting. In a recent Grantland profile, Reid Carolin, Tatum’s producing partner, said that he and Tatum are planning to make their directorial debut soon, so it’s very possible that the star’s desire to be behind the camera is a major issue for Marvel and Rupert Wyatt.
We will keep you updated on all future casting calls, including the leading role of ‘Gambit’.
South Carolina’s Native American Catawaba Indian reservation is building a $350 Million Film Studio.
According to reports, the Catawba Indian reservation, in partnership with South Carolina and several other key investors are planning to build a major film and production studio filled with sound stages, a hotel, film school, and a Catawaba Cultural Center.

According to their website, the goal of the new studio would be to, “…revitalize and expand the Catawba Indian Nation brand worldwide while providing jobs, education and training in the film and entertainment industry to not only the tribal members, but residents of the surrounding communities.”
Details surrounding the number of new job opportunities for Native Americans and South Carolina residents have not been released but it is estimated that the new production facility will bring in thousands of new jobs.
“We are doing our due diligence, is this good for the tribe, good for York County?” commented Catawba Chief Bill Harris.

With Los Angeles’ dying film industry, producers have decided to look elsewhere to film their movies and TV shows. Recently, North Carolina closed their doors on their film industry by ending their tax incentive program for a grant program which didn’t settle well with producers. Ultimately, Georgia’s film industry has quickly taken over with no plans on stopping. While, South Carolina may not have the biggest film industry in the country, this new facility will help the Native American tribe transition from government grant funding to a self reliant tribe.
