Zoë Saldana felt "stuck" in her roles in big films.

The 44-year-old actress - who has starred in 'Star Trek' (Uhura), 'Avatar' (Neytiri) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Gamora) over the past decade - admitted she's grateful for those films , but her commitments to the franchises also mean she hasn't been able to challenge herself as much as an actress as she had hoped.

She told Women's Wear Daily magazine: "I feel like I've just been stuck for the last 10 years of my life. I've felt like I've been stuck with these franchises. I'm very grateful for the opportunities they have offered me, from working with amazing directors, to meeting cast members who I consider friends, to being able to play a role that fans, especially kids, love." She added, "But it also meant that I felt artistically stuck in my craft because I wasn't able to expand or grow or challenge myself by playing different types of genres and different roles. "

Saldana has wanted to develop her talents "for a long time". Now she's finally been able to do so in Netflix drama 'From Scratch' and upcoming project 'Lioness'.

Her current approach to work is otherwise the same as when she started her career: "I give 120 percent, do my homework, go to bed early and concentrate on my work."

This year's European Film Awards will be presented in Reykjavik on December 10th. Until then, award-winning European films can be seen in 35 cities, as a sort of prelude to the big festival. In Greece, the Athens Trianon, one of the most famous art cinemas in the city, is the official organizer of the film marathon organized by the European Film Academy.

The Trianon is just one of the many members of the Europa Cinemas film theater network that is accompanying the European Film Month with a series of special programmes, explains Michael Zeis, who is responsible for sales and communication. "We are very keen to promote the European film industry.

All events and actions are aimed at: promoting European cinema. We have organized screenings with directors who have been invited here as part of the European Film Month."

Award-winning films in cinemas and on MUBI
Among other things, the Trianon programmed the highly acclaimed animation film "Flee", which was nominated three times for an Oscar and won the Grand Prix at the Annecy Animation Film Festival. Also on screen is the French abortion drama "L'Evenement", awarded the Golden Lion of Venice in 2021.

And in line with Film Month, the global streaming platform MUBI places a special focus on European films so that film fans all over the world can get their money's worth. Euronews reporter Frédéric Ponsard says: "The 'European Film Month' takes place in the best European cinemas, from Greece to Portugal, from Bosnia to Sweden.

It ends on December 10th with the presentation of the European Film Awards in Reykjavik. At the gala will be the best European films.

A brand new trailer has been unveiled for the upcoming "Super Mario Bros. Movie", which for the first time not only gives a glimpse of popular characters.

Actually, everything was right when the very first trailer was unveiled: "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" from Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment has exceeded the expectations of millions of fans in terms of animation quality, with the typical humor of the makers of successful animated films such as "I - Despicable You" and "Minions" really came into their own in the few snippets of the first trailer.

Even the selection of the (US) voices was applauded in the end, after some fans were initially skeptical. But just with the most important role of Mario Mario, fans fear that those responsible for Nintendo's star designer and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto could have backed the wrong person. In fact, Marvel star Chris Pratt's first words as an Italian-born plumber from Brooklyn sounded less than convincing. To many, he just sounded like himself — and that's after promising something very special that he says he's "worked very hard" on. So it's no wonder that many fans went on the barricades.

Now, as part of a "Nintendo Direct" presentation, a brand new trailer has been unveiled (the comment function on YouTube has been deactivated as a precaution), which gives a deeper look into the upcoming animated film and Pratt's Mario his typical sayings and calls like "Let's-a-go !", "Wohoo!"

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is pure fan service
One thing has to be said in advance: What the inclined fan is offered surpasses everything that one could have hoped for after the first trailer. The Super Mario Bros. Movie, directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic, is set to feature plenty of Easter eggs and cameo appearances. There's the nod to the most well-known spin-off video game series in the form of the infamous Rainbow Road from Super Mario Kart. Then fans should have recognized the level design of the good old 2D days including question mark blocks. Not to mention Kugelwilli and the raccoon costume.

Since there was a look at the two Nintendo characters Donkey Kong and Princess Peach for the first time, their US voices also had their say. She couldn't be more excited, says Anya Taylor-Joy, who is basically the perfect live-action version of Princess Peach. She said she had a lot of fun working on the animated film and she hopes audiences and fans will feel the same way. Seth Rogen, who says he's been a Shigeru Miyamoto fan for as long as he can remember, even named his dog after Zelda, a princess from Miyamoto's action-adventure series The Legend of Zelda:

"Even back when I was playing the PlayChoice-10 as a kid, with Mario Bros I was like, 'If they ever make a movie out of this, I have to be there.' I'm happy to say that this dream has come true.”

And one thing becomes clear: Chris Pratt's Mario voice doesn't sound that bad anymore once he's allowed to say more words. Sure, he won't be able to match Charles Martinet, Mario's original voice, any time soon. But he doesn't really have to. In Germany, "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" will start in cinemas on March 23, 2023.

Anyone who has little faith in German film should now read on carefully. More than two decades ago, Hans-Christian Schmid marked a turning point in German cinema history with his film “23 – Nothing is as it seems”. Here you can find out why you shouldn't miss the thriller and where you can watch it in the stream.

The German director Hans-Christian Schmid is currently proving in the cinema with the drama "We are then probably the relatives" that he is one of the best in his squad and knows how to translate classic thriller material into sober, but no less depressing images.

The tragic case of the young hacker Karl Koch, who together with like-minded people carried out the legendary KGB hack in the 1980s, also belongs to such classic thriller material.

Koch and the others hacked into alien systems around the world and ended up working as spies for the KGB. Cook, obsessed with the number 23, believed he was on the trail of the Illuminati and acting in the service of world peace, but slipped deeper and deeper into cocaine addiction and gradually alienated himself from his closest friends and fellow hackers, the finally got him admitted.

Koch, who defined himself as a left-wing activist throughout his life, later worked as a messenger – for the CDU of all things. However, he never returned from his last errand trip.

His charred body was found a short time later in a forest in Lower Saxony. He died presumably on May 23, 1989 at the age of 23. The exact circumstances of his death are still unclear to this day.

Yesterday, Monday, November 28, the ARD offshoot One showed Schmid's congenial cinematic translation of a spectacular and shocking case in German hacker history at 8:15 p.m.

"23 - Nothing is as it seems" masterfully traces the inexorable path of self-destruction in form and content and is brilliantly cast with German actors such as August Diehl, Burghardt Klaußner and Hanns Zischler - 99 minutes of high tension guaranteed! If you missed the TV broadcast, you can alternatively stream the film on Amazon for a small rental fee or buy it directly there.
