Courtesy of Sony Pictures Canada, we’re giving Readers across Canada a chance to win an official signed THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE poster, featuring autographs from its stars Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Maya Rudolph!

Synopsis:

The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.

Although this doesn’t really reveal much, this first Teaser for Disney‘s live-action adaptation of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST will have to whet our tea thirst for now!

Synopsis:

Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is a live-action re-telling of the studio’s animated classic which refashions the classic characters from the tale as old as time for a contemporary audience, staying true to the original music while updating the score with several new songs. “Beauty and the Beast” is the fantastic journey of Belle, a bright, beautiful and independent young woman who is taken prisoner by a beast in his castle. Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within. The film stars: Emma Watson as Belle; Dan Stevens as the Beast; Luke Evans as Gaston, the handsome, but shallow villager who woos Belle; Oscar® winner Kevin Kline as Maurice, Belle’s eccentric, but lovable father; Josh Gad as Lefou, Gaston’s long-suffering aide-de-camp; Golden Globe® nominee Ewan McGregor as Lumiere, the candelabra; Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci as Maestro Cadenza, the harpsichord; Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Plumette, the feather duster; six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald as Madame Garderobe, the wardrobe; Oscar nominee Ian McKellen as Cogsworth, the mantel clock; and two-time Academy Award® winner Emma Thompson as the teapot, Mrs. Potts.

With xXx: The Return of Xander Cage wrapping after beginning production here in February, it is a bit of a bittersweet goodbye. Although Vin Diesel wrapped a few weeks back, some of his Co-Stars including Mike Bisping, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa and Bollywood Queen Deepika Padukone have been left to carry the weight of the Film on their own.

For the final night of shooting, York x Adelaide in Toronto’s Financial District was shut down as evening scenes were filmed. Padukone‘s fans were out in full effect with over 100+ of them showing up to support her. While she was in costume, telling Fans she’d greet them afterward, some just simply couldn’t wait!  Padukone who plays the female lead Serena, was more than nice greeting as many fans as she could before leaving a little after midnight in her Suburban. She’s so lovely and was just as nice the first time we met her!

Other stars Tony Jaa, Donnie Yen, Mike Bisping and director D.J. Caruso also were kind to stop for Fans before wrapping!

Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps and sailing the high seas.
