Nina is a biographical film about American jazz and soul singer Nina Simone, one of the most influential artists of her time, songwriter, pianist, arranger and activist. But more than that, today the actress Zoe Saldana is being discussed, who empathized with her in this biographical drama directed by Cynthia Mort, saying that she was not right for the portrayal, as the actress of Puerto Rican-Dominican descent was not dark enough. Whether the first trailer backs this up, see for yourself.

The famous British ski jumper Michael Edwards, better known under the nickname Eddie The Eagle or Eddie the Eagle is a living legend. A slightly older generation probably still remembers his famous performance at the Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada in 1988, because of which the International Olympic Committee changed the rules to no longer have to place exotics in the Olympics (well, Venessa Mae did it anyway). Although he never really lived up to his name (his jumps were short and unreliable), he won the hearts of fans around the world with his genuine Olympic spirit and determination. The path of probably the most unusual ski jumper of all time was translated into a film by Dexter Fletcher with Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton in the central role. And another interesting thing. The film was also shot by Slovenian jumpers, who performed jumps and stunts.
