The magical world of Oz, where you can expect the unexpected. Watch the new trailer.
When a movie is being marketed to kids to well sell everything from Lego sets to luggage to mystery-colored mac and yes even edibles like cheese, a mistake or two in these products will happen right? I mean something bound to slip by and well over the weekend, the team at Wicked toy maker Mattel which the line again is based on a new film learned that the hard way. On Monday, toy company Mattel recalled thousands of Wicked-themed dolls and issued an apology after it was discovered that the boxes had accidentally included a link to a porn website, Wicked Pictures.
Mattel apparently failed to do a quick Google search before printing the packages, and instead of directing consumers to check out wickedmovie.com, the official site for Universal’s Wicked, they were directed to wicked dot com, the website for Wicked Pictures. The error could affect revenue for the “Barbie” toy company, given the cost of having to remove the dolls from stores.
“Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page,” Mattel said in a statement. “We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this. Parents are advised that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for children. Consumers who already have the product are advised to discard the product packaging or obscure the link and may contact Mattel Customer Service for further information.”
After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.

The Broadway stage musical is produced by Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
The movie The Karate Kid has seen a real resurgence in popularity thanks to the Cobra Kai show but we all loved the original The Karate Kid movie who grew up watching it over, and over, and will no doubt remember the actor Chad McQueen who played on of Johnny Lawrence best friends when he got his big break in 1984 when cast in the hit movie. While in the film “The Karate Kid” playing "Dutch" where not only did he really look the part. But also played him as vicious as there would be in the Cobra Kai crew on that movie.
The hilarious part was in real life he was a very humble and actually nice person and too boot a legacy name actor in that he was the son of screen Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, and now it's saddens me to report that he has died at age 63.
Way too young if you ask me and with deepest condolences I write this because he was set to return in a Cobra Kai episode but didn't end up in it where he was going to reprise his role as "Dutch" ... Remember again in the movie he played one the adversary of Ralph Macchio’s lead character.
McQueen’s attorney, Arthur H. Barens, told The Associated Press that he died on Wednesday. The actor followed in his father’s footsteps, both on screen and on the motor racing circuit. His wife, Jeanie Galbraith, posted a tribute to him on Instagram with their son Chase and daughter Madison. The family announced his death “with a heavy heart,” adding: “His remarkable journey as a loving father to us, along with his unwavering commitment to our mother, truly exemplified a life filled with love and dedication.
His passion for racing not only highlighted his exceptional talent, but also served as a way to honor his father’s legacy, a testament to the values instilled in him. He passed his passion, knowledge and dedication down to us and we will continue not only his legacy but our grandfathers as well.”
McQueen is also survived by his son from a former relationship, Steven R. McQueen an actor who appeared in “The Vampire Diaries.” Chad McQueen reprised his role in “The Karate Kid Part II” sequel in 1986, and appeared in several other films, and also produced two documentaries about his father: “I Am Steve McQueen” in 2014 and “Steve McQueen: The Man & Le Mans” the following year.
“I didn’t find acting fun anymore,” McQueen said in a 2005 interview with AP. “So, I decided to give racing a total commitment.” In a separate Instagram post, McQueen’s son Chase wrote: “Knowing you’re now reunited with the your (sic) Dad and Sister brings me some comfort. Until we ride again I love you.”
Also paying tribute to him online was Jon Hurwitz, one of the creators of “Cobra Kai,” the “Karate Kid” revival that has proven a hit for Netflix. He said he and his colleagues had met with McQueen to discuss a return to the series. Posting on X, Hurwitz described McQueen as a “Karate Kid legend,” adding: “Unfortunately, Chad was unable to join us when it came time to shoot. At the end of the day, it wasn’t meant to be. But Dutch will always be remembered as a badass’ badass in the Miyagiverse. He kicked ass.”
He added: “The fandom mourns a Karate Kid legend today. I’m so grateful I had the honor of spending an afternoon with him. Sending much love and strength to his wonderful family. May Chad rest in peace.”
Wow this broke my heart... The voice of my favorite cinematic character of all times has passed away as we have lost the incredible Icon James Earl Jones. Not just the voice of Lord Vader but also the voice of many iconic roles. His voice was one for the ages, be it as a Lord of the Sith in "Star Wars" to King of the jungle in "The Lion King" the mans voice was one you can recognize for his voice was one for the ages. But he was more than a voice... He was a true cinema GEM, and one of the greatest actors in the history of cinema period.
Born January 17, 1931 not just an American actor of films but he was also very known for his amazing years of work in theater. He was one of thefew performers to have achieved the EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). Jones has been described as "one of America's most distinguished and versatile" actors for his performances on stage and screen,and "one of the greatest actors in American history".
Being born In 1931 at Arkabutla, Mississippi, he had a stuttering issue since childhood. Just picture this Darth Vader with a stuttering issue! But some would shy away from public speaking due to this curse it wasn't something James Earl Jones would do as he said that poetry and acting helped him overcome the challenges of his disability. A pre-medmajor in college, he served in the United States Army during the Korean War before pursuing a career in acting.
From the age of five, Jones was raised by his maternal grandparents, John Henry and Maggie Connolly, on their farm in Dublin, Michigan; they had moved from Mississippi in the Great Migration. Where Jones found the transition to living with his grandparents in Michigan traumatic and developed a stutter so bad that he refused to speak. He said, "I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year, and then those mute years continued until I got to high school." He credits his English teacher, Donald Crouch, who discovered he had a gift for writing poetry, with helping him end his silence. Crouch urged him to challenge his reluctance to speak through reading poetry aloud to the class.
Jones graduated from Dickson Rural Agricultural School In 1949 (now Brethren High School) in Brethren, Michigan, where he served as vice president of his class. He attended the University of Michigan, where he was initially a pre-medmajor. He joined the Reserve Officers' Training Corps and excelled. He felt comfortable within the structure of the military environment and enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow cadets in the Pershing Rifles Drill Team and Scabbard and Blade Honor Society. After his junior year, he focused on drama with the thought of doing something he enjoyed, before, he assumed, he would have to go off to fight in the Korean War. After four years of college, Jones graduated from the university in 1955 with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in drama.
But for all his work over the years it was In 1977, Jones made his debut in his iconic voiceover role as Darth Vader in George Lucas' space operablockbuster filmStar Wars: A New Hope, which he would reprise for the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Darth Vader was portrayed in costume by David Prowse in the film trilogy, with Jones dubbing Vader's dialogue in post production because Prowse's strong West Country accent was deemed unsuitable for the role by director George Lucas. At his own request, Jones was uncredited for the release of the first two Star Wars films, though he would be credited for the third film and eventually also for the first film's 1997 "Special Edition" re-release. As he explained in a 2008 interview:
When Linda Blair did the girl in The Exorcist, they hired Mercedes McCambridge to do the voice of the devil coming out of her. And there was controversy as to whether Mercedes should get credit. I was one who thought no, she was just special effects. So when it came to Darth Vader, I said, no, I'm just special effects. But it became so identified that by the third one, I thought, OK I'll let them put my name on it.
In 1977, Jones also received a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Great American Documents. In late 1979, Jones appeared on the short-lived CBS police drama Paris, which was notable as the first program on which Steven Bochco served as executive producer. Jones also starred that year in the critically acclaimed TV mini-series sequel Roots: The Next Generations as the older version of author Alex Haley.
The year 1987 saw Jones starring inAugust Wilson's playFencesas Troy Maxson, a middle aged working class father who struggles to provide for his family. The play, set in the 1950's, is part of Wilson's ten-part "Pittsburgh Cycle". The play explores the evolvingAfrican Americanexperience and examinesrace relations, among other themes. Jones won widespread critical acclaim, earning himself his secondTony Award for Best Actor in a Play.
Controversial ultra progressive liberal Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino believes Kamala Harris could “f*** s*** up” if she gives in to pressure to hold a news conference or agrees to a sit-down interview during the race for the presidency. During the 90's I met Quentin while one night at the movies hanging out with one of my friends on my day off while I was walking into our movie just having bought some food items from the theater food court QT Passed by me and walked into the movie Curdled (1996) which had just come out to theaters.
He was the executive producer on that film and was at the AMC Mall of the Americas where I worked at the time to see it with a couple of his buddies from the Miami area who he was hanging out with we came to find out from him as we spoke for a bit. While I was shocked to see him and talk to him and since we had been there as an employees even our day off we were not allowed to go and ask any celebrity who might show up for any autographs as company policy.
So once our movie was done we waited outside and we got to the doors of the outside of the mall and sure enough within a few minutes he walks out with two of his friends and we got to say hello to him.
His friends went to get a car as he waited with no security mind you just him we spoke for a minute and he was very nice even signed a note pad I had which I lost all these years later. But overall he was a nice dude back then and while not very chatty he had a good sense of humor and was a bit nerdy for sure.
His political views have I'm sure evolved since then and I said he's super progressive these days and it's well interesting to hear him say outloud these facts about Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee who has been criticized for avoiding the media since being named as the Democratic Party’s new presidential candidate.
The director talked politics with Bill Maher during a recent episode of his “Club Random” podcast. And well this is how that went folks as the host pointed out that MAMALA Harris would never talk to him, to which Tarantino replied that there was “no reason” for the Democratic nominee to "appear on Maher’s show before the election." Maher shot back, saying he "represents the middle-ground voters who Harris should be targeting because the far-Left Democrats are already voting for her."
Tarantino said this isn’t a “normal election cycle” where “you have a year to set your case” he also said, “I think they’re just all about winning the f***ing election, all right, and the easiest path to winning the election. Look, you can talk about maybe she should have had more guts about this or that and the other but we’re the f***ing president. And Trump’s not the president, and we’re the f***ing president, and now it’s gonna be about this.”
“This is about f***ing winning,” Tarantino says again. “What most people don’t give the Democrats enough credit for, but we give the Republicans credit for, is like no, sometimes it’s just about f***ing winning. And it doesn’t matter how we look at this moment.”
“It’s a mad f***ing dash and she is running, and she’s not stopping to stumble. … I’m gonna vote for her f***ing anyway, no matter what she says in a stupid f***ng interview, so don’t f*** s*** up,” Tarantino added. The interview clip started circulating on X, with many users reposting and wondering why Harris’s supporters are so terrified of her going off script or taking questions, even from journalists on her side.
“Quentin Tarantino joins the list of Democrats saying Kamala shouldn’t take questions because it could hurt her chances of winning which raises the question, how incompetent or extreme do they think she is that answering questions could make her lose?” Outkick writer Ian Miller wondered. Well so do we.
But the bottom line is what he said is pure Communism... They want to keep power no matter what and will vote Blue no matter what even at the expense of our country and us suffering. He's loaded with cash so to him it doesn't matter it's always us poor people who suffer.
He knows it, Bill Maher knows it and so does every single leftist who reads this and everyone who votes in this idiotic manner. You are what's wrong with this world. The point of the MATRIX WAS The BLUE PILL Keeps you in the Matrix plantation. The Red wakes you up to the reality of life... Said that anyone would chose to stay blue pilled in the Matrix.
Well folks it's been posted online that ‘Superman’ by James Gunn is set to Feature Christopher Reeve’s Son in a heartfelt Tribute touching nod to Superman’s cinematic legacy, that Christopher Reeve is a major part of as we know he played Superman in the original 4 movies starting in 1978. Now Will Reeve his son is set to make a cameo appearance in the James Gunn’s highly anticipated “Superman” film reboot. The news, reported first by Variety, has sparked excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.
This after days following the fallout from the pictures of new Superman David Corenswet in what looked like a baggy dirty suit only to be followed by a bunch of set photo releases which was spoken about on video by many YouTubers myself included.
Will Reeve, currently working as a journalist and correspondent for ABC News, was spotted on the set of the upcoming superhero blockbuster. He is slated to play a television reporter, a role that not only pays homage to his father’s portrayal of the Man of Steel but also mirrors his own real-life career.
Christopher Reeve, who passed away in 2004, is universally recognized for his portrayal of Superman in Richard Donner’s 1978 classic and its sequels. His performance set the standard for superhero portrayals and remains beloved by fans worldwide. I said for a long time when looking at the life of Chris and his son Will growing up after Chris passed how much he looked not just like his dad but he has the look of Superman from the modern era down from head, face, and body structure... The Son of Superman who now is an actual journalist himself. This is a no brainer but we don't have him in the role sadly but since there is a "multiverse" in DCU like MARVEL. Who knows right? Maybe this cameo can set up his own Superman movies? lol There is always hope.
The new “Superman” film, set to be the first theatrical release in the James Gunn Re-imagined or Rebooted DC Universe. Or the "DCU" (DC Universe) which again replaced the old "DCEU" (DC Extended Universe) which a lot of people thought Zack Snyder should have been in charge off as an alternate universe look into these characters as his movies were in place already. He's not doing anymore in that universe and that DCEU is now done.
So this is the new low even for these liberal leftist conmen but now they're hitting up on ICE CUBE with their idiotic hate! Check this out some idiot posted that 'Maybe the MAGA Crowd Can Go See His Movies' these idiots are now calling for to Boycott 'Last Friday' a Movie the Rap icon and Actor is making because as they said he is being too 'Being Cozy' with you guessed it! Donald Trump... Now Ice Cube is optimistic that the “Last Friday” film is finally coming to fruition after years of battling Warner Bros. Entertainment over it being made. So far it's been a trilogy and there has been talk again for a long time about making more but the WB for some reason never went and let it be done. You would think after the NWA bio movie "Straight Outta Compton" they would have opened their pocketbook to anything with Cube in it but nope... But now as it looks like finally it's happenening these idiots do this and some fans of the rapper say his political choices have tainted their enthusiasm about heading to theaters to support the movie if it does, in fact, make it out of development. These people are evil so in other words he can't have his own freedom of opinion or you will not go see his films? Sounds like a communist tactic here but let's continue here as Cube said “We working on it, we working on it,” Cube told Flavor Flav on the SiriusXM show “Flavor of the Week.” He explained that the project has gained “traction” now that Warner Bros. Entertainment has placed former New Line Cinema executive Mike De Luca over its films.
“My man Mike De Luca, who used to be at New Line when I first started, when I first did the first ‘Friday’ and ‘Players Club’ and ‘All About the Benjamins,’ Mike De Luca was there. So now he’s running Warner Bros., him and my man Michael Gruber are like, ‘Yo, what the f—k is going on with ‘Friday’? Man, let’s get this s—t back online,’” he added. The “Today Was a Good Day” emcee has long claimed that he wrote two scripts for the fourth installment of the franchise. However, when development stalled, he had no way of moving forward because Warner owns distribution of his films. But with new leadership in place, Cube may have a new experience. “I was a little hot because they had took so long,” he said, noting that the franchise’s stars like John Witherspoon, who played Pops, Tommy Lister Jr., who played Deebo, and AJ Johnson, who portrayed Ezal, have all passed away. Witherspoon, 77, succumbed to a heart attack in 2019, Lister, 62, died of heart disease-related complications in 2020, and Johnson, 55, from organ failure caused by chronic alcohol consumption in 2021. “We keep losing people, and y’all keep d—king around not doing the movie the way it need to be done. They wanna do it, but the key is it gotta be done right, Flav, or we shouldn’t f—k with it,” said the rapper-turned-actor Though Cube said that the studio finally “came to their senses,” not all of his fans feel the same about him. A tweet expressing disinterest read, “No thanks, maybe the MAGA crowd can go see his movies because that’s who he’s down with now. I won’t support him!”
Another X user who was vexed by Cube’s past openness to working with former President Donald Trump wrote, “So, do we want to see it? Ice Cube being cozy with the Trump Administration is a meh.” Cube never endorsed the impeached President, but he did present his Contract With Black America, a plan to address racial inequality, to the Trump campaign in 2020. The campaign responded by promoting its Platinum Plan to entice Black voters to support Trump’s re-election. According to the Trump campaign, Cube provided input for their plan to impose initiatives that would uplift the Black community. The West Coast rap legend faced harsh criticism for his political alignment. “Every side is the Darkside for us here in America,” he tweeted in defense of his controversial decision. “They’re all the same until something changes for us. They all lie, and they all cheat, but we can’t afford to negotiate.” Folks these are NOT CUBE fans! These are leftists shills who are using this tired tactic and are trying to force another actor to hate on TRUMP or else! This is not right and he has all the right to support whoever he wants politicaly and so does anyone who wants our country to get better. Joe Biden is a weak old fart machine who is not good for this country the previous debate just days ago proved this! Don't be fooled folks that man is not in the right frame of mind and never been but now Biden is lost in dimentia unless he's got his cocaine on hand and it was clear the man wasn't on it this last debate or maybe he was on too much and it didn't let him forcus at all? But if he's not on any drug to pep him up and just has those moments where he's lucid and those when he's not. Folks this is not a man fit for leading this nation... We saw it live these were not a "CHEAP FAKE" as the left tried to again lie about.
A third critic reacting to the latest “Last Friday’ update commented, “Is he going to write a role for his new buddy Tucker Carlson?” The transgression in question occurred in 2023. Cube and former Fox News correspondent Tucker Carlson discovered that they shared similar stances on a variety of topics as they rode around South Central L.A., the former N.W.A. group member’s hometown. The “Ride Along” star was called a sellout and accused of allowing himself to be used to promote conservatives’ political agendas. The hip-hop veteran, however, has been steadfast in declaring himself a free thinker who has not been welcomed onto a number of well-known platforms. Political stances aside, some social media users think that “Last Friday” finally has Warner’s support thanks to the success of “Bad Boys: Ride or Die.” One person joked, “They seen bad boys surpass 1 billion, and they said not on their watch.” Some think, at minimum, there should be seven movies in the “Friday” collection. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence’s buddy cop franchise had amassed more than $1 billion at the box office. The fourth installment raked in $227 million in the first four weeks following its June 7 debut. Directing duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah already have ideas for a fifth film, but Sony has not officially greenlit another sequel.
Again folks if people turn on you like this they were not his fans! So this is a joke and these people need to stop... ICE Cube didn't cross any lines like how Eminem did with his b/s rap going at Trump. We now seen BIDEN lie, and lie, and lie, and look lost on the debate stage. We're in great danger with him as President as the world is laughing at him, us and we need to move on and get the real President Donald Trump back in office.
After two terrific entries into the SCREAM franchise the last couple of years word has come out this week Melissa Barrera was fired from ‘Scream VII’ after social media posts amid Israel-Hamas war. Also now comes word that Jenna Ortega will also not be involved due to her commitment to the hit streaming show "Wednesday" based on the "Adams Family" character.
These two have become the main core of the franchise when the last film Scream movie part 6 didn't have Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott involved in the film. Up until this movie she had been involved in all the previous 5 movies, and her not coming back saw the movie take a twist as it was not set in Woodsboro anymore but now followed the Carpenter sisters to New York.
The change in location and the new direction worked as the movie was a smash hit at the box office taking in more money then the previous films at the US DOMESTIC box office. So a part 7 was greenlite without hesitation. But while the just ended strike it held back the 7th enough for bad things to happen and now the film stands on shaky ground as it's now known that Melissa Barrera has been fired from “Scream VII” over her controversial comments on social media about the Israel-Hamas war.
As reported Barrera, 33, was let go from the Spyglass Media production due to “her Instagram stories which have been perceived as anti-Semitic.” The actress started posting about the conflict last month, writing in one Instagram story, “I too come from a colonized country” beside a Mexican flag logo. “Palestine WILL be free,” she added in her caption, also writing that “they tried to bury us, they didn’t know we were seeds.”
Barrera shared further posts about the war more recently, with one on Monday reading, “At the end of the day, I’d rather be excluded for who I include, than be included for who I exclude.” In another post, Barrera wrote, “Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp. Cornering everyone together, with no where to go, no electricity no water … People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.”
Barrera portrayed Sam Carpenter in 2022’s “Scream,” alongside Jenna Ortega, Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, and in this year’s “Scream VI.” Barrera’s first outing in the horror series earned $137.7 million globally, while her “Scream” encore, which was released in March 2023, topped its predecessor by grossing $168.9 million worldwide. “Scream VII” is expected to be released in 2025, as it was pushed back due to this year’s actors’ and writers’ strikes.
Now the studio is looking to bring back Neve Campbell, and Courtney Cox to replace the loss off Janna Ortega & Melissa Barrera but is this the right move? While I loved the last two films, and I'm a die hard fan of the franchise should they continue with this movie so soon? I think after part 6 the ending of the Carpenter sisters story arc can be seen as done since a sequel would be not needed. So while the fans think this means the franchise is falling apart it's not.
What this franchise needs now is a good 5 year gap between this and part 6 than start a new series trilogy... What I think would be a cool idea would be to center the new trilogy on Gail Weathers as she's reporting and investigating another crime dealing with people going missing at first in the movie. The start will start with something like the death of the main suspect she was going after in her investigation.
As this happens the law looks at her as the killer, and in comes Sidney and her husband Mark Kincaid played by Patrick Dempsey who is a detective to help Gail find who is framing her while trying to kill her. The bodies start to pile up now that Sidney is back to help they can set up a brand new trilogy and since the last movie was able to be done in New York I'd set this one up in Texas were Sidney and Mark live.
Like I said I'm a fan of the franchise, and thinking outside the box that's a story which could work and bring in a whole new cast, and move on from the previous storyline, and two lead actresses. Also this would make for a heck of reload with them bring back NEVE for another trilogy. This time pay her what she's worth... She's the ultimate SCREAM QUEEN!
Actor Burt Young AKA"Paulie Penina"Rocky's Brother In Law in the film series Passed Away At The Age Of 83 My Thoughts and Condolences to His Family. And may god bless this fine actor. He had an amazing life.
Richard Morea, known professionally as Burt Young, was an American actor, author, and painter. He played Rocky Balboa's brother-in-law and best friend Paulie Pennino in the Rocky film series, his performance in the first installment of which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
So nearly 30 years after we lost the most influential voice in the music I love most hip hop, and the artist who's music has been my favorite since his first cd came out 2pacalypse now in the early 90's, there’s movement in the case of Tupac Shakur’s murder. Here’s what we know so far as of now the unsolved killing of Tupac has taken a new twist. Authorities in Nevada confirmed that they served a search warrant this week in connection with the rap star’s shooting death in 1996.
One of the last living witnesses to the fatal drive-by shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas was charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon Friday in the 1996 killing, a long-awaited breakthrough in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public ever since the hip-hop icon was gunned down 27 years ago.
A Nevada grand jury indicted Duane “Keffe D” Davis in the killing, prosecutors announced in court Friday. Chief Deputy District Attorney Marc DiGiacomo said a grand jury had been seated in the case for “several months.” DiGiacomo described Davis as the “on-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered the death” of Shakur.
The charges were revealed hours after Davis, 60, was arrested this morning while on a walk near his home, according to DiGiacomo. Davis has long been known to investigators and has himself admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, “Compton Street Legend,” that he was in the Cadillac from which the gunfire erupted during the September 1996 drive-by shooting. Shakur was 25 when he was killed.
Police seized laptops, memoir from Vegas-area home of witness to Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing in a Las Vegas-area home searched by police investigating the killing of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996 is tied to Duane “Keffe D” Davis.
Tupac Shakur’s long-unsolved killing again under spotlight as Las Vegas police conduct search Authorities in Nevada say they have served a search warrant in connection with the long-unsolved killing of rapper Tupac Shakur in September 1996. Las Vegas police raided a home in mid-July in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson that is tied to Davis. Police were looking for items “concerning the murder of Tupac Shakur,” according to the search warrant. They collected multiple computers, a cellphone and hard drive, a Vibe magazine that featured Shakur, several .40-caliber bullets, two “tubs containing photographs” and a copy of Davis’ memoir.
Clark County District Judge Jerry Wiese denied Davis bail. “It has often been said that justice delayed is justice denied,” District Attorney Steve Wolfson said after the hearing in a brief comment to AP. “In this case, justice has been delayed, but justice won’t be denied.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if Davis has an attorney who can comment on his behalf. Davis hasn’t responded to multiple phone and text messages from The Associated Press seeking comment or an interview in the more than two months since the house raid.
Shakur was in a BMW driven by Death Row Records founder Marion “Suge” Knight in a convoy of about 10 cars. They were waiting at a red light when a white Cadillac pulled up next to them and gunfire erupted. Shakur was shot multiple times and died a week later at the age of 25.
The rapper’s death came as his fourth solo album, “All Eyez on Me,” remained on the charts, with some 5 million copies sold. Nominated six times for a Grammy Award, Shakur is still largely considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time by rap fans world wide. Rumors that he's still alive, and hidding in fear for his life has been around since the day his death was announced. Now with this investigation and arrest perhaps both Tupac and his amazing mother Afeni Shakur who also left the earth a short while ago can both find peace. This is good news for the fans, family, and the loved ones of both Afeni and Tupac.
In his memoir, Davis said he was in the front passenger seat of the Cadillac and had slipped the gun used in the killing into the backseat, from where he said the shots were fired.
Davis implicated his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, saying he was one of two people in the backseat. Anderson, a known rival of Shakur, had been involved in a casino brawl with the rapper shortly before the shooting.
After the casino brawl, “Mr. Davis formulated a plan to exact revenge upon Mr. Knight and Mr. Shakur” in his nephew’s defense, DiGiacomo said. Anderson died two years later. He had denied at the time being involved Shakur’s death. Something nobody believed but Davis revealed in his memoir when he first broke his silence in 2010 during a closed-door meeting with federal and local authorities.
At the time, he was 46 and facing life in prison on drug charges when he agreed to speak with them about Tupac’s killing, as well as the fatal shooting six months later of Tupac’s rap rival, Biggie Smalls, also known as the Notorious B.I.G.
They offered to let me go for running a ‘criminal enterprise’ and numerous alleged murders for the truth about the Tupac and Biggie murders,” he wrote. “They promised they would shred the indictment and stop the grand jury if I helped them out.”
Shakur was feuding at the time with rap rival Biggie Smalls, who was fatally shot in March 1997. At the time, both rappers were in the middle of an East Coast-West Coast rivalry that primarily defined the hip-hop scene during the mid-1990s. Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles police detective who spent years investigating the Shakur killing and wrote a book about it, said he’s not surprised by Davis’ arrest.
The former Los Angeles police detective said he believed the investigation gained new momentum in recent years following Davis’ public descriptions of his role in the killing, including his 2019 memoir.
“It’s those events that have given Las Vegas the ammunition and the leverage to move forward,” Kading said. “Prior to Keffe D’s public declarations, the cases were unprosecutable as they stood.”
The sad part is that this took so long, and Afeni didn't get to see this. This is awesome news. Made my day a whole lot better. NOT shocked I knew for years Keefe D, Orlando Anderson, and the Dancing Queen in Diddy were all involved. NOW I hope it all comes out. Hope if Diddy is indeed involved he goes to prison for life.
‘Blue Beetle’ Director Deletes Tweet Wishing Assassination On President Donald Trump, Claims Puerto Rico Is A “Slave Colony”
So the director of the recently flopped "Blue Beetle" is a Puerto Rican guy namedÁngel Manuel Soto and he recently deleted a tweet where he he hoped that President Donald Trump would be assassinated like President Abraham Lincoln. In a tweet from August 7th, 2018, Soto wrote, “The only thing I hope Trump has similar to Lincoln’s presidency is the way it ended.”
Well as we all know those who against Trump seem to have BAD LUCK find them, and this being Angel Sotos big film and it being such a major flop is his Karma coming back. He wished DEATH on Trump and his movie DIED at the box office. Sweet justice if you ask me. The movie was garbage by the way. I didn't pay to see it but did see it, and it is a horrible movie, and this director should NEVER be hired again. But this is why the WB and other companies like them are in such problems right now.
They hire woke morons who don't know reality or facts and they make these horrible movies. This guy who clearly is an idiot member of the progressive socialist movement in Hollywood, and is of the "WOKE" crowd as you can clearly see below.
As you know the studios now go OUT of the way to hire these leftists, woke people or gang to make bad movies and then tell us how great they are. Like we stupid right?
The deletion of the tweet not only came after Lofti Pixels shared it to social media, but came after Soto was criticized for including George Lopez’s “Batman is a fascist” line at the end of the Blue Beetle trailer.
YouTuber Ryan Kinel criticized the conclusion of the line saying, “At the end, the Batman is fascist. This is pandering to these stupid f***ing 20 year-old free profile picture she/them don’t know what your f***ing gender is, don’t buy comics, don’t have money to go to movies. That’s who that f***ing s**t is pandering to.”
“‘Batman is a fascist.’ F*** off with that. That’s so stupid.”
His criticism would be clipped and shared to Twitter by CBMovieFan who wrote, “George Lopez saying “Batman is a Fascist” has this mf riled up” “George Lopez” can blow hard as he's been known to hate Trump like he's responsible for all the issues in the world. But look not too long ago Lopez before he had Hollywood he had to hate Trump.
The user added, “I need more lines like that from the movie if they’re freaking out like this.” Not only did Soto previously hope for the assassination of Donald Trump, but he also claimed that Puerto Rico is a “slave colony.” Now they going to blame Trump for that also? Remember when they said Trump had NOT helped the Puerto Rican people when the hurricane hit? That was a complete lie... Check out the proof here.
He tweeted back in August 2018, “Puerto Rico is a slave colony of the USA. Your passport was impossed on us, so there is nowhere else to go afer your country shits on my land and blame us for the stink. F*** you.”
Here is the Puerto Rican MAYOR San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz who withheld goods from the Puerto Rican people shipped there by the Trump Administration before he got there. She didn't want to hand it to the people in need because eh wanted to make TRUMP look bad. But the moron spoke in public and she like an idiot allowed this visual behind her to be there. Now being I myself am from Cuba and have had a lifetime of knowing a lot of people from PR know that a lot of them are leftist, communist & socialist loving & voting liberals.
This woman said, “maybe Mr. Trump should do something about Puerto Rico’s debt, rather than just talking about it.” First off he was just elected during her making these comments which came as the new President during his press conference in San Juan, Trump cavalierly spoke about “getting rid of Puerto Rico’s debt,” which caused an anxious flurry of activity among the island’s bond-holders; in the days that have followed. The media also tried to shame Trump using a picture which shows Trump throwing paper towel rolls into the crowd while he delivered aid and supplies to Puerto Rico.
Trump does this on a lot of occasions it's his way of lightening the mood. The people in the video didn't seem to mind and were all enjoying the moment loving TRUMP! These are the people of Puerto Rico. Once again the MEDIA turned an innocent moment into a sinister one with lies, and manipulation, and the Pelosi "Wrap up Smear" for folks now seemed like TRUMP was also responsible for the bad horrible which HIT Puerto Rico according to the way the major was speaking. These leftist morons never learn, and the once like her, and the Blue Beetle director are products of Socialism, HATE, and Racist communism against the same country that they beg for when they need it.
Ironic they blame Trump and the Right yet the real reason why they're in poverty and in ruins is because they're either blind or brain washing thinking voting democrat will help them... Never does but these people never learn they just keep breeding stupid people with ZERO knowledge in politics who are brought up believing lies.
Soto appeared to beg members of the media and potential moviegoers during a Q&A session at a trailer launch. IGN reported Soto told them and other members of the media, “If you’ll help us and this movie becomes a massive f***ing hit, we’re going to see a lot of those [characters]. That’s what needs to happen.” Well while Blue Beetle is a dope comic book I'm a fan off the comics, and the main actor the movie itself was garbage, and it flopped thankfully so. This guy doesn't deserve a career as a movie director, and hope he ends up blackballed from directing and is never seen or heard from again. Time to stamp out these communist/socialist hating racists out of Hollywood.
Soto added, “If we want to see more variety and really celebrate differences, celebrate culture, celebrate other worlds because it’s fun. The lores are so spectacular. The only way is by supporting movies. Supporting a movie like this.” I'm Latino and I will never in my life support this guy and his views. While I want to see more Latino based films, and comic book characters like Blue Beetle once again I cannot endorse someone tho said the crap this guy said... Cannot do it. He belongs investigated for his words can be viewed as someone who might act out on his wishes. There are those sorts of people in the world who will do that.
Now let's compare Trump who went to PR brought goods in and didn't lie in using stories which are based on lies, and did nothing but give an initial reply of "NO COMMENT" like JOE Biden did recently to Maui. He's done NOTHING to help these people in Hawaii / Maui to help them and lied. He gave people who lost it all $700 ? C'mon man! But look at this moron below.
Joe Biden lied and tries to take credit for the work FEMA is doing which doesn't require him to DO SHIT! IN OTHER Words once again JOE BIDEN does NOTHING and takes Credit for it like he did it all himself alone. This is pure evil at it's finest... He said "NO COMMENT" after the first questions were asked of him. He went down there and spent NO TIME with people like Trump did in Puerto Rico. He took NO Supplies, and didn't hand out anything like Trump did. So who actually puts America 1st, and cares about the people? It's not Joe Biden.
The guy who speaks after Biden is speaking of claims Biden has been known to lie about! Like saying his son died in war when he did not, saying almost lost his wife, home, and corvette when it was a "small kitchen" fire. NOTHING MAJOR! Joe Biden is a moron, liar and anyone so stupid who doesn't see it is well equally as stupid.
People like the Director of Blue Beetle is one of these sorts of morons... Don't support the movie, him or the studio behind it... Time to tell these people how we the AMERICA First people feel about their lies, corruption, and the b.s they keep trying to force feed us via mass media.
