Glashrs – Making buzz with his new song along with Drew Taylor “Where I Stand”

Published

“Where I Stand,” a new single from Glashrs, the sensational American singer, with guest vocals from Drew Taylor.

Drew Taylor’s confident vocals and contagious happy rhythm make “Where I Stand” a universally appealing Hip Hop song that you won’t be able to get rid of. Drew and Glashrs took a different approach to the recording of “Where I Stand” than they had in the past.

Initially, they were looking for a challenge to push themselves beyond their comfort zone. With the help of a guitar, it defied the norms of mainstream music by incorporating a hip-hop vibe into the mix.

Glashrs can’t get enough of the synths and other elements that go into “Where I Stand” despite how simplistic the track’s production may be. “Sometimes it’s vital to keep it simple, so we decided to stop that from happening and let everyone’s beloved acoustic and electric guitar go their way, and because there would be remixes, they opted to join us,” Glashrs said.

How Glashrs begin his journey

As a child, his father introduced him to music by teaching him how to play the guitar. Bobby began playing the guitar at the age of six, and he continued to play every day after that. His guitar teacher recruited a group of 5th graders, and he quickly rose to the position of lead guitarist in their band.

When Glashrs moved to California in middle school, video gaming quickly became a major part of his life. Simply put, he had lost interest in playing guitar.

One of Glashrs’s closest pals introduced him to making beats after returning to Florida from California. A love affair quickly blossomed between him and the subject.

During his sophomore year of high school, Glashrs learned to play the piano and compose music using FL Studio on his laptop. ‘Falling’ is the name of the first song he ever wrote with his singer/songwriter twin sister Cory.

To date, Glashrs and Cory have collaborated on several songs together and with a friend and fellow musician Drew Taylor, a singer, songwriter, producer, and engineer.

After a long wait, Bobby finally launched his “Glashrs” brand and became an EDM/Hip Hop artist. Every day, Glashrs devotes himself to improving his abilities as a sculptor.

Drew Taylor’s jouirney as part of  “Where I Stand”

His musical influences and styles range from rock to rap to metal to alt-country, but Drew Taylor Seibert’s roots are in the alt-country genre. As a result of enrolling at a local music school, Drew discovered his true passion: bass guitar playing.

While attending college, Drew began to develop an interest in music production, which led to discovering that his beatmaker skills were rather impressive. Within a few weeks, he performed live on bass, drums, guitar, and vocals for the following five years. The two of them enrolled in a music school together in Indianapolis in 2019.

His internship was at a studio in Atlanta after completing the program there. During his internship, the experience he gained helped him realize that he needed to start creating his music as soon as possible. Shortly after finishing his internship, he briefly returned to school and joined an after-school songwriting and rapping group.

He developed a community of local friends, artists, and patrons who supported him for his work and performances. He has written, recorded, and performed many songs, and new ones are expected this year.

New Gremlins and Goonies Films Underway

New Gremlins and Goonies Films Underway

Two iconic movies from the 1980s are set to make a comeback in the 2020s. Warner Bros. is currently in the early stages of developing a third Gremlins movie and exploring the possibility of a Goonies reboot.

Reports indicate that Warner Bros. is collaborating with Christopher Columbus on a new Gremlins film and working on a treatment for The Goonies. While specific details remain under wraps, the news emerged as part of the studio’s broader strategy to expand some of its biggest franchises, including The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, and the DC Universe. Additionally, a sequel to the 1998 romantic fantasy Practical Magic, with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock reprising their roles, is also in development.

This isn’t Warner Bros.’ first attempt to revive the Gremlins franchise in recent years. In 2023, Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai premiered on Max. The animated prequel series, set in 1920s Shanghai, follows a young Sam Wing, the original owner of Gizmo. Its second season, retitled The Wild Batch, will bring the story to San Francisco.

A third Gremlins movie was previously in development during the 2010s, with Columbus attached, but the project never came to fruition. Columbus’ involvement in this new installment is significant, as he did not participate in the 1990 sequel Gremlins 2: The New Batch or the animated series.

The Goonies: A Return to Adventure?

The potential Goonies project appears to be in an earlier phase than the new Gremlins movie, as it is still in the treatment stage—a precursor to a full script. It’s unclear whether the project will be a remake or a legacy sequel to the 1985 classic. However, the original cast has expressed enthusiasm about returning for a continuation.

In September 2024, Sean Astin, who starred in the original film, shared a fan poster for a sequel titled Goonies Are Good Enough on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “It’s our time. C’mon Steven [Spielberg].” Astin has been vocal about his desire for a sequel, stating in a 2014 interview that director Richard Donner was interested in revisiting the story. Unfortunately, Donner passed away in 2021 at the age of 91.

Ke Huy Quan, who played Data in The Goonies, has also spoken about the challenges of making a sequel. In a January 2023 interview with Variety, he explained that finding a script that lives up to the original has been the main obstacle. “For over 30 years, we’ve tried to do a Goonies 2,” Quan said. “When I was younger, I hoped it would happen because I thought it might revive my career. We had several scripts, but none felt right for the legacy of the original. Sadly, we lost our captain, Dick Donner, whom I dearly loved. I’m not sure if Goonies 2 will ever happen, but I’d love to revisit my character if it does.”

Wicked Box Office Hits Global Milestone, Poised to Surpass Kung Fu Panda 4 and Godzilla x Kong

Published

on

The box office for Wicked hits a significant milestone worldwide as it gets ready to surpass Godzilla x Kong and Kung Fu Panda 4.

Wicked is still doing well despite recent box office releases that have caused significant disappointment. The most recent Wizard of Oz musical was too good for the Spider-Man villain and the Tolkien adaption to compete with Kraven the Hunter and The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim in the same week. Wicked has already exceeded its $145 million budget following a record-breaking first weekend that raked in over $160 million globally.

It has achieved even more success this past weekend. Variety said that after making $359 million domestically, the musical adaption made over $524 million internationally. It is currently on track to surpass Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and Kung Fu Panda 4, which brought in $547.6 million and $571.1 million, respectively. Having significantly outperformed Grease’s $188.62 million total, it is also officially the highest-grossing Broadway adaption in domestic box office history.

What the Box Office Success of Wicked Means

Musicals and animated blockbusters are regaining their position at the box office after ten years of action film supremacy. Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4 have taken first and third place for the entire year, while Moana 2 and Wicked are the top films this weekend. With a $1.3 billion box office total, Deadpool & Wolverine is still in second place, but it’s probably the only action film to stay in the top five globally. Dune: Part Two may lose its position when Mufasa: The Lion King is released the following week:

TitleDomesticWorldwide
Inside Out 2
$653 million$1.7 billion
Deadpool & Wolverine
$637 million$1.3 billion
Despicable Me 4
$360 million
$970 million
Moana 2
$338 million$717 million
Dune: Part Two
$282 million
$714 million

This pattern is probably due to the fact that, other from Deadpool & Wolverine, neither DC nor Marvel have released any successful films this year. With Joker: Folie à Deux, DC tried to duplicate its $1 billion triumph, but it only made $200 million globally. With the exception of Wicked, every film in the top 10 global releases for 2024 has been a sequel, creating a distinct market. Based on a Broadway musical and The Wizard of Oz, Wicked is not a completely original film, but its box office performance does demonstrate that non-sequels may be successful in theaters in today IP-driven landscape.

Danny Ramirez on Joaquin Phoenix Leaving the Gay Romance Film Directed by Todd Haynes

Published

on

Todd Haynes was planning to cast Danny Ramirez and Joaquin Phoenix in a gay romance movie. However, Phoenix left the untitled production five days before Guadalajara, Mexico, filming got underway.

At the Academy Museum Gala on Saturday night in Los Angeles, Ramirez told Variety’s Marc Malkin, “It’s definitely disappointing.” “If anything,” he continued, “If anything, it just gave me more inspiration to keep driving, keep pushing, and knowing that I’m on the right path and approaching the work the right way. So that’s what I’m excited about.”

The movie, which depended on Phoenix’s casting, was in danger after it was revealed in August that he had quit the production, according to sources. Two guys in love in the 1930s who escape Los Angeles and travel to Mexico were the main subject of the NC-17-rated movie.

“It’s definitely a very complicated situation,” Ramirez stated. “The audition process was extensive, and so what I walked away with that was just the artistic validation of throwing down opposite of [Phoenix] in this chemistry read… There was a moment that I was like, ‘Oh, I’ve arrived as a performer.’”

“The most recent update is ‘hopefully.’” Ramirez said in response to a question about whether the movie is still in development with filmmaker Haynes.
