   "Walt Disney" plans a movie called "Labyrinth". This Labyrinth follows a princess who has to traverse a dangerous maze in order to save her father. Although it shares a few of the same narrative elements, the project is unrelated to Jim Henson's 1986 project, which starred Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie.




                                                             ---------------------------
  "Ghosts Of The Pacific" the true story of three WWII Navy flyers cast adrift on the South Pacific in 1942.

   Tom Holland to star in "The Heart Of The Sea". The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819, the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with twenty crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than ninety days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, disease, and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival. Nathaniel Philbrick uses little–known documents-including a long–lost account written by the ship’s cabin boy-and penetrating details about whaling and the Nantucket community to reveal the chilling events surrounding this epic maritime disaster. An intense and mesmerizing read, In the Heart of the Sea is a monumental work of history forever placing the Essex tragedy in the American historical canon.

   There is a book called "Go The F To Sleep" is a bedtime book for parents who live in the real world, where a few snoozing kitties and cutesy rhymes don’t always send a toddler sailing blissfully off to dreamland. Profane, affectionate, and radically honest, California Book Award–winning author Adam Mansbach’s verses perfectly capture the familiar—and unspoken—tribulations of putting your little angel down for the night. In the process, they open up a conversation about parenting, granting us permission to admit our frustrations and laugh at their absurdity.
