Sansa Stark, played by Sophie Turner has had a teen life filled with abuse and horror
HBO
Only two days remain for the Game Of Thrones season six TV premiere and a series of theories have already started making the rounds. But before taking things further, IBTimes UK takes a look back at the previous seasons of the hit show and offers a brief history on the key characters and plots within this fantasy world.
If you did not like Sansa Stark at the start of Game Of Thrones, you are not alone. The eldest daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark, Sansa (Sophie Turner) was a typical young lady of the age. She had a fondness for embroidery, marrying someone of importance and having lots of babies... not what we are looking for in a GoT character.
So when the royal party came to visit Winterfell, her home, she immediately formed an interest in the heir to the throne, Joffrey. Little did she know what a rotten fruit the boy would turn out to be. Soon enough she was packing her bags and making her way to the capital, King's Landing, where she would marry the boy, who would go on to become the cause of some serious trouble for her.
What started off as coy smiles and shy glances soon turned to hate-filled insults, threats and even physical abuse from Joffrey, after he had her father's head chopped off for treason. He not only made her watch the execution, but also took her to a place on the palace wall where the head of the traitor was displayed on a spike.
Through all the horrors, young Sansa managed to keep her composure, including when the king ordered Meryn Trant to tear off her clothes in front of the other lords and ladies.

Sansa reminds us of that one person who keeps being bullied no matter how much she tries to fade into the background. When a riot ensued in the capital, she got lost in the crowd and was attacked by a group of filthy men who try to rape her. Luckily, The Hound – Sandor Clegane came to her rescue.
Once Joffrey decided he did not want to marry her and turned his attention to Margaery Tyrell instead, Sansa was made to marry his much older uncle Tyrion. Luckily for her, the dwarf Lannister was kind, wedding her only in name and promised not to touch her if she did not want.
The young Stark girl had some semblance of stability at last, but that did not last long either. When Joffrey got poisoned at his own wedding, she was whisked away by the royal clown who took her to Littlefinger aka Lord Baelish – who promised to take her away to safety. But he had plans of his own for the young girl. After some unbearable moments spent in his company, in season 5, the Master of Coin, who also happened to be her uncle by marriage, rode with Sansa back to Winterfell, her family home which was being occupied by the Boltons – the men responsible for the murder of her mother and brother Robb.
Later, Baelish planned to marry her off to Lord Bolton's bastard son (now made legitimate) Ramsay, since her marriage with Tyrion was never consummated. Little did either of them know that the young Bolton had a fondness for torture and enjoyed skinning people alive!

One reaching her old home, she found Theon Greyjoy, who, after intense torture and dismembering by Ramsay went by a new name, Reek, and worked as a servant for the family. She still thought he killed and burned her two younger brothers (which he did not).
It was out of the frying pan and into the fire for Sansa, who soon after the wedding was raped by Ramsay while Reek was made to watch. The torture continued and Sansa tried to escape with help from Reek, but the man was so broken that he was too terrified to go against his master and reported her plans to her new husband.
Sansa just could not catch a break, but despite all the rape and torture she managed to portray a sense of strength and even Reek was willing to help her. He even confessed that he never really killed her brothers, but burnt two other orphan boys instead.
With Stannis Baratheon's army nearing them, the Boltons planned an attack strategy and while the rest were busy preparing for battle, Reek and Sansa made a dash for freedom by jumping off the castle wall.

What to expect in season 6

We have seen Sansa as the quintessential young lady, the harassed fiancée of Joffrey, the sceptical niece of Lord Baelish and the sexual plaything of Ramsay Bolton. But now we will get to see her is a more powerful light.
The girl is gone and in her place is a young woman who is hungry for revenge. In the trailer for season six she is seen wearing armour and talking about retribution for those who have harmed her and her family. Let the payback begin!
Game Of Thrones season six will premiere on HBO on 24 April at 9pm ET.

James Cameron shares update for Avatar 2
20th Century Fox
The James Cameron-directed Avatar was released in 2009 and ever since fans have been waiting for a sequel. Recently, the director announced that he was working on not one but four movies in the science fiction thriller franchise. He added that Avatar 2 would premiere in December 2018.
While speaking to the Famous Monsters of Filmland, the Academy award winning director revealed that is looking at releasing the fifth film in the series in 2023 and that he was concurrently shooting all the sequels together.
"It's [filming] not back-to-back. It's really all one big production. It's more the way you would shoot a miniseries. So we'll be shooting across all [Avatar scripts] simultaneously," he told the website.
"So Monday I might be doing a scene from Movie Four, and Tuesday I'm doing a scene from Movie One. ... We're working across, essentially, eight hours of story. It's going to be a big challenge to keep it all fixed in our minds, exactly where we are, across that story arc at any given point. It's going to be probably the most challenging thing I've ever done. I'm sure the actors will be challenged by that as well. It's like, 'No, no, no, no, this person hasn't died yet, so you're still in this phase of your life'. It's a saga. It's like doing all three Godfather films at the same time," he added.
The first movie of the blockbuster franchise achieved a milestone in visual effects while narrating the story of a tribe on the fictional planet of Pandora. However, Cameron has hinted that the sequels will have more "real-world" moments.
"On the new Avatar films, I'm actually going to shoot more real-world stuff. It may only be there as an example from which we then generate CG, or we may actually integrate some of those photographic elements. But I want more photography. ... Like, if I was doing the Alien Queen, I would want photography to show the exact way that the slime drools off the curl of a lip and caught the light in a certain type of very low-key lighting. I would want to see that so that I can talk to the CG artist and say, 'All right. Do that.' ... It always usually boils down to the lighting and the conception of the shot," he said.

Alibaba Pictures Group Ltd. agreed to invest in two Paramount Pictures movies as the Chinese company extends its foray into Hollywood.
The unit of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. will invest in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows" and "Star Trek Beyond," which will be released in North America this summer, according to a statement on Monday. Financial terms weren’t disclosed.
The deal is the latest example of Chinese funds flowing into Hollywood and builds on Alibaba’s relationship with the studio -- the Chinese company invested in last year’s "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation." The agreement also comes at a time that Paramount’s parent, Viacom Inc., is looking to sell a stake in the studio.
China Film Group Corp. and Huaxia Film Distribution Co. will likely distribute the movies in China, where they will probably be released in the country in the second half of the year, according to the statement.

The Natural Trailer
Warner Home Video
America's passtime, the game of baseball has inspired a wealth of very remarkable films. As we begin another baseball season it is time to list some of the best of the many classic baseball pictures.
1. The Pride of the Yankees 1942. Gary Cooper is marvelous as “the luckiest man on the face of the earth” The New York outfielder “Iron Horse”, Lou Gehrig. His swing is questionable however.
2. The Natural 1984. A fabulous allegory; with Robert Redford playing an aging rookie who leads the New York Knights to victory with his magical bat “wonderboy.”
3. Field of Dreams 1989. Another mystical tale starring Kevin Costner of an attempt to give a dead ballplayer the chance to play again in an Iowa corn field. “ If you build it, he will come.”
4. A League of Their Own 1992 . Geena Davis and Tom Hanks star; based on a true story of the first women’s professional baseball league. “There is no crying in baseball.”
5. Bull Durham 1988. Susan Sarandon and Kevin Costner cavort in this highly literate story set in the southern minor leagues. Do you believe in "The church of baseball?"
6. Angels in the Outfield 1951. The inept Pittsburgh Pirates receive heavenly help. The Pirates could certainly use more divine intervention this year to avoid a record 17th losing season.
7. Bang the Drum Slowly 1973. Robert De Niro plays a dying ballplayer in this powerfully moving drama.
8. Eight Men Out 1988. Accurate account of baseball’s darkest hour, the Black Sox Scandal; “Shoeless” Joe Jackson and the Chicago White Sox throw the 1919 World Series. “Say it ain’t so, Joe.”
9. Fear Strikes Out 1957. Based on the true story of Boston Red Sox outfielder Jimmy Piersall’s battle with mental illness; wonderfully played by Anthony Perkins.
10. Major League 1989. The story of a hapless Cleveland Indian team, beautifully narrated by Bobby Uecker. “That pitch was just a bit outside.”

James Franco and Seth Rogen are the latest targets of hackers targeting Sony Pictures. The actors, who star in the studio’s upcoming comedy “The Interview,” had their salaries revealed by hackers who go by the name “The Guardians of the Peace.”

“The Guardians of the Peace” began their attack on Sony Pictures on Nov. 24, leaking watermarked copies of studios’ upcoming films, including “Fury” and “Annie.” The hacker group also sent a warning to the studios’ employees that internal data would be made public “if you don’t obey.”

The leaked salary information is the first to target the stars of “The Interview,” which is rumored to be the reason cyber hackers have singled out Sony Pictures.

Rogen was reportedly paid $8.4 million, while co-star Franco allegedly earned $6.5 million, Bloomberg reports. In addition, Britney Spears’ ex-husband Kevin Federline, who has a cameo in the film, was reportedly paid $5,000.

Other leaked info from the film includes $250 reportedly allotted for a prop described as a “table of weed, coke, pills and panties,” but cost $241.

The comedy, about two talk-show hosts (Franco and Rogen) recruited by the CIA to assassinate North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, has angered the country’s officials, with his representatives blasting the film’s release as “an act of war” in a letter to the United Nations earlier this year.

A spokesman for North Korean's mission to the United Nations did not deny being responsible for the cyber-attack, telling the BBC on Tuesday that “the hostile forces are relating everything to the DPRK (North Korea).”

Today, an unidentified spokesman for North Korea's powerful National Defense Commission finally denied responsibility for the attack but acknowledged that it “might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers” of the North’s call for the world to turn out in a “just struggle” against U.S. imperialism. The statement carried in state media said further;

We do not know where in America the Sony Pictures is situated and for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack, nor (do) we feel the need to know about it. But what we clearly know is that the Sony Pictures is the very one which was going to produce a film abetting a terrorist act while hurting the dignity of the supreme leadership of” North Korea.

So far sensitive information about studio employees, including executives’ salaries and employee performance reviews have been leaked online. Sony confirmed the hacking in a memo to staff on Tuesday, and the following day refuted a report that North Korea was responsible for the hacking, adding that the investigation to uncover the culprit was still ongoing.

 LOS ANGELES (AP) — The bloody World War II drama "Fury" blew past "Gone Girl" at theaters this weekend."Gone Girl" was tops at the box office for two weeks before Brad Pitt and his rag-tag group of tank mates in "Fury" blasted the film to second place. Sony's "Fury" captured $23.5 million in ticket sales during its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. Fox's "Gone Girl" followed with $17.8 million.
The week's top two films are R-rated adult dramas, followed by two PG family films.
"The fall movie season is all about making the transition from PG-13 world of summer to the R-rated, edgier world of the fall and awards season," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak.
The animated Fox feature "The Book of Life" opened in third place with $17 million, followed by Disney's "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" with $12 million.
"We're now in full adult movie-going season and we'll see a lot more adult-skewing fare," said Fox distribution chief Chris Aronson, who added that the colorful "Book of Life" suits any audience.
Another new film rounds out the top five: Relativity's Nicholas Sparks romance "The Best of Me," starring Michelle Monaghan and James Marsden, debuted with $10.2 million.
"Birdman," the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu drama starring Michael Keaton, opened in just four theaters and boasted a per-screen average of $103, 750. It opens in additional locations next week.
Overall box office is up almost 25 percent from the same weekend last year, Dergarabedian said, and the strong fall showing at cinemas is making up for a year-to-date box-office deficit that dropped from 6 percent to 4 percent in the last month.
