"We'll get through this... together." Archstone Distribution has released an official trailer for a film titled Wings of Eagles, or On Wings of Eagles, formerly known as The Last Race. Produced in China, this film tells true the story of a Scottish athlete stuck in war-torn China during WWII. Joseph Fiennes plays Eric Liddell, a Scottish athlete and missionary in China. After competing in the 1924 Summer Olympics, he then returned to China and remained there until his death in a Japanese civilian internment camp in 1945. Liddell's story is also told in the famous film Chariots of Fire, though this new film focuses more on his experiences in China (he was originally born there of Scottish missionary parents). The film's cast includes Shawn Dou, Elizabeth Arends, Jesse Kove, Augusta Xu-Holland, and Simon Twu. Check this out. Here's the first trailer (+ poster) for Stephen Shin & Michael Parker's Wings of Eagles, from...

While not going so far as to call itself Chariots Of Fire II: God’s Own Athlete, The Last Race is aiming to serve as a kind of sequel to the Oscar-winning classic, telling more of Scottish runner Eric Liddell’s story. Joseph Fiennes is now in place to play the man himself.Ian Charleson was Liddell in Chariots, and now Fiennes is aboard to star in The Last Race, which follows his life after the 1924 Paris Olympics and his work as a missionary in China. And that location gives a clue to where this new film is being backed – as it’ll have financial backing from Chinese companies and shoot in the country from a script by Stephen Shin, who also co-directs with Michael Parker. “It is not only the perfect movie theme, but it should also make younger generations more aware of their past,” Shin tells The Independent.

Voters are mad as hell, and they’re not going to take notice of the issues anymore. Seriously: how did Scott Brown get elected to the Senate? Of all the things I’ve read, a fascinating new study by a graduate student and professor of psychology at the University of Massachusetts provides just about the best explanation I’ve found. The study, “How I Vote Depends on How I Feel: The Differential Impact of Anger and Fear on Political Information Processing,” suggests that people in a state of anger exhibit different voting behaviors than people in a state of fear. The authors, Michael Parker and Linda Isbell, took a group of 113 students, asked about half of them to write about an experience that made them angry, and asked the other half to write about an experience that made them scared. Then the participants examined a Web site with information about...
