"It's my planet, I want to protect it." Universal has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled The Wonderful: Stories From the Space Station, from filmmaker Clare Lewins of the doc film I Am Ali previously. This time she focuses on the astronauts, and all of the other people involved, who have been to the International Space Station (also known as the Iss). It originally launched in 1998 and has been orbiting Earth for the last 23 years. Drawing on breath-taking archive and interviews shot with astronauts, cosmonauts, family members and colleagues, the film revels in the remarkable achievement of technology, international collaboration, scientific endeavour and human bravery that the Iss has encapsulated during its time in space, and provides an insight into the beauty and majesty of witnessing earth from above. The film features George Abbey, Ken Bowersox, Cady Coleman, Samantha Cristoforetti, Frank Culbertson, Scott Kelly, Sergei Krikalev, Tim Peake,...

Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear sure made life difficult for Robin Wright's Claire Underwood in the final season of House of Cards. "Somebody's got to take her down," Lane said. The two Oscar nominees joined the final season as wealthy siblings, Annette and Bill Shepherd, who use their money to influence the politics of Washington. For the part, Lane said she had to binge early. You see, House of Cards was one of the shows she had "horded off to the side" while "planning my retirement binging or something," she told E! News' Carissa Culiner. "When I got the call," Lane said, "I was like, 'Oh my god, I've got to watch this show!'" And despite what...

Are you enjoying the sixth and final season of the House of Cards TV show on Netflix? Usually, the Nielsen ratings play a big role in determining whether TV shows are cancelled or renewed. Netflix and other streaming platforms, however, collect their own data. Still, many viewers are frustrated their opinions weren't considered before Netflix decided to end House of Cards after its sixth season. If you've been watching this TV series, we'd love to know how you feel about the season six episodes of House of Cards. We invite you to rate them for us, below.

A series that was built around the chemistry between two actors — and that had been building toward a climactic showdown — is suddenly a solo act. And while the sixth and final season of “House of Cards” is as mixed a bag as the thrilling but uneven Netflix drama has yet produced, the good news is that Robin Wright is up to the task of anchoring the show.
After all, since the earliest episodes, Wright has been the not-so-secret weapon of “House of Cards,” playing a character whose astringent refusal to yield to emotion balanced the more ornate performance of Kevin Spacey as her ambitious but weaker-willed husband. It was a well-tuned duet in which she did all the calibration, constructing a careful performance around his Shakespearean floridity.
With Spacey now fired from the show due to allegations of past sexual misconduct, Wright is on her own. And the spotlight suits her.

I feel compelled to grade House of Cards‘ sixth and final season on a curve. Or at the very least with an asterisk attached to it.
In case you’ve just awakened from an 11-month coma, last fall Netflix fired the series’ leading man Kevin Spacey one month into production amid a growing sexual-misconduct scandal. By December, the streamer announced that it would scrap the three episodes previously shot and start Season 6 over with a drastically streamlined narrative (eight episodes vs. 13) that centered squarely on Robin Wright‘s newly-minted Potus, Claire Underwood.

Netflix has released a new full trailer for House of Cards Season 6 and it’s the best trailer that has been released so far. It offers us our best look at the final chapter in the series and it’s made very clear that Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) is a woman to be feared.
After her husband Frank Underwood dies, she becomes the first women President of the United States of America and she’s not going to allow herself to be controlled by anyone.
The trailer also gives us a much better look at Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear in the roles of Annette Shepherd and Bill Shepherd. They are “a sister and brother who inherited Shepherd Unlimited, a leading industrial conglomerate whose family foundations exert a powerful behind-the-scenes force in the American political landscape. The two share a vision for the future of America, as well as a complicated past with the Underwoods.

For House of Cards, this is it – the beginning of the end.
Along with Orange is the New Black, Netflix’s thrilling political drama quickly established itself as one of the streaming service’s true powerhouse shows. After five seasons and the subsequent firing of Kevin Spacey, though, House of Cards is now ready to come to a close. But not before Claire Underwood has a crack at the White House.
She’ll do so on November 2nd, when the sixth and final season premieres and brings back most, if not all of the core cast, who will help send off the show in memorable fashion. And if this latest trailer is anything to go by, it looks like we’re in for another round of gripping political intrigue and tons of juicy material, promising an explosive end to the Underwood saga.

It's a new beginning for Claire Underwood (Robin Wright) on House of Cards Season 6.
But what's her first big act as President of the United States?
According to the latest trailer released by Netflix, she's going against her late husband, Frank.
"My first 100 days as president have been difficult,” she says. “I lost my husband… we were about to celebrate 30 years together.”
What's the most shocking thing she says?
“Here’s the thing: Whatever Francis told you the last five years? Don’t believe a word of it.”
Okay then.
If you thought Claire's reign as Potus was going to come without some big drawbacks, you are sadly mistaken.
New series regulars Diane Lane and Greg Kinnear are well and truly present in the trailer, and their characters Annette and Bill Shepherd do not have many nice words for Claire.

When Kevin Spacey was revealed as a sexual predator with a decades-long history of disturbing behavior, most people figured Netflix’s House of Cards had played its last hand. After all, the actor was the undisputed face of the show and with his name quickly becoming as toxic as you can get, it was hard to see how the streaming service would be able to carry on with it.
Thankfully, Robin Wright, who plays the steely Claire Underwood, fought to keep the show alive and though it wasn’t easy, she succeeded in convincing Netflix to put together one last season. Now, the final run of the hit series is quickly approaching its November premiere and looks to mark a major change from previous years, as Claire’s set to take center stage in the absence of Frank Underwood, who’s been written out of the story.

Once Kevin Spacey was removed from House of Cards due to the ever-increasing sexual harrassment allegations against him, fans of Netflix’s political drama were only asking one question: how would Frank Underwood’s absence be explained? Well, this new teaser for season 6 finally reveals the fate of the scheming fictional Potus.
In the 24 second promo, Robin Wright’s Claire Underwood is apparently speaking to her husband (as well as the audience) as she delivers an ominous speech. “I’ll tell you this though, Francis,” Claire says. “When they bury me, it won’t be in my backyard. And when they pay their respects, they’ll have to wait in line.” It’s then revealed that she’s standing in front of Frank’s grave, situated next to his father’s in South Carolina.

Dutch director Sacha Polak has revealed further details of her first English-language project, Vita and Virginia.
The film, based on the play by Eileen Atkins, tells the story of the passionate love affair between writers Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West. Both women were members of the free thinking Bloomsbury set but their lesbian affair scandalised parts of British society. Sackville-West was married to the celebrated politician and diarist, Harold Nicholson.
Romola Garai has come on board to play Sackville-West.
“She (Garai) is so interesting and sexy. She will be the perfect Vita,” said Polak, who was at this year’s Berlinale with new film Zurich, sold by Beta.
The part of Woolf will be cast shortly. Polak insists that her film’s Woolf won’t be the “gloomy” and “depressing” figure with the prosthetic nose played by Nicole Kidman in The Hours.
“We are keen on showing another Virginia Woolf, a funny one...
