24 November 2016       Japan Times       
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Reuters) – Breitbart News, the outlet once led by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s chief strategist, has been blocked by one of the largest advertising exchanges serving digital publishers due to hate speech.

AppNexus deactivated Breitbart News after an audit of the site’s content determined that it violates the advertising exchange’s code of conduct banning hate speech, spokesman Joshua Zeitz said on Tuesday.

Breitbart CEO Larry Solov said the company “always and continues to condemn racism and bigotry in any form,” in an email statement. Read More






No hallucinogens found in system of Florida man who killed couple, chewed on corpse’s face
24 November 2016       Japan Times       
STUART, FL (AP) – The Florida college student accused of randomly killing a couple and chewing on the dead man’s face had no detectable hallucinogenic drugs in his system, according an FBI toxicology report released Wednesday.

Austin Harrouff had a trace amount of marijuana in his system when he allegedly beat and stabbed John Stevens, 59, and his 53-year-old wife, Michelle Mishcon, outside their Tequesta-area home Aug. 15, according to the report.

Martin County Sheriff William Snyder had previously speculated that Harrouff may have been on flakka or bath salts, but those drugs weren’t detected.

Harrouff, 19, was hospitalized for two months after the killings for a burned esophagus, possibly from ingesting chemicals found in the couple’s garage.

Nellie King, Harrouff’s attorney, said Wednesday that her client is mentally ill.

“The judicial process will bear all of this out in due time,” King said in a statement.

Prosecutors declined comment. Read More

The first full two-minute trailer for the live-action Ghost in the Shell film debuted at a Tokyo event on Sunday, and Paramount Pictures is streaming it online. The video begins with an introduction by the film’s lead actress Scarlett Johansson.

Entertainment Tonight previously streamed a video on Tuesday showing an interview with Johansson, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of a gunfight scene. Paramount also posted a behind-the-scenes video feature on Thursday.

Dreamworks and Paramount are co-financing and co-producing the film. Paramount Pictures is the film’s new distributor, after Dreamworks ended its distribution deal with Walt Disney Pictures. The film is currently slated for release on March 31, 2017. Principal photography began in Wellington, New Zealand in January.

In addition to Johansson, Pilou Asbæk (Lucy) will play Batou. Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire) will play the Laughing Man. Director, comedian, and actor Beat Takeshi (also known as Takeshi Kitano) plays the Public Security Section 9 founder and chief Daisuke Aramaki.

French actress Juliette Binoche (2014’s Godzilla, The English Patient, Chocolat) will play Dr. Ouelet, and Kaori Momoi (Sukiyaki Western Django, Memoirs of a Geisha, Helter Skelter) and Rila Fukushima (The Wolverine) will also have roles in the film. The actors for the other Section 9 task force members include: Chin Han (Independence Day: Resurgence), Danusia Samal (Tyrant), Lasarus Ratuere (Terra Nova), Yutaka Izumihara (Unbroken), and Tuwanda Manyimo (The Rover).

Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) signed on to direct the film. Jonathan Herman (Straight Outta Compton) reworked the earlier drafts of the script written by William Wheeler (Hoax, The Reluctant Fundamentalist) and Jamie Moss (Street Kings). Weta Workshop and its co-founder Richard Taylor are working on the film. Deadline reported last year that Johansson was offered US$10 million for the lead role.

Additional staff members include cinematographer Jess Hall (The Spectacular Now, editor Neil Smith (Snow White and the Huntsman), production designer Jan Roelfs (Fast & Furious 6), and costume designers Kurt Swanson and Bart Mueller (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay).

The anime studio Production I.G pitched the rights for Masamune Shirow‘s original cyber-police manga on behalf of the manga’s publisher Kodansha in 2007, and Dreamworks acquired the live-action film rights in 2008. Ari Arad (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance), Avi Arad (formerly of Marvel Studios as well as of the Spider-Man and X-Men movie franchises), and Seaside Entertainment‘s Steven Paul (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance), and Mark Sourian (The Ring Two) are producing. The executive producers include Michael Costigan (Prometheus), Jeffrey Silver (Edge of Tomorrow, 300), Tetsu Fujimura (Tekken), and Production I.G founder and head Mitsuhisa Ishikawa. Read More
