According Espresso newspaper, the actress was found dead in her apartment after calling the police. The cause of death is unknown at this moment of time.
She was most known for the Academy award nominated film Dogtooth, where she played the role of the younger daughter.
It seems like David Harbour will be replacing the very loved Ron Perlman. The reception has been mixed as Hellboy has created a cult following over the years. To many people Hellboy II: The Golden Army was better than the first, so the shock of the news that Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman not working on the next film has come as a surprise to most. Hellboy II has went onto receive a nomination for Best Make Up at the Academy Awards in 2009 closely losing out to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Now with the lead being David Harbour and the huge fan base Stranger Things has gained in such a short time, it will likely bring a strong reboot for Hellboy.
These are some of the responses via Twitter.
"you can't make a #Hellboy movie without Ron Pearlman!"
*looks at pictures of David Harbour*
"…okay, maaaaaybe…"

Why would anyone want a Hellboy 3 without Ron Perlman? Or del Toro? Who thought that idea sounded good?

After The Hobbit, Pacific Rim 2, Hellboy 3 and Justice League Dark, I can’t wait to see which movie Guillermo Del Toro will not direct next.

INTO THE RED
BENEATH THE WAVES
DECAY
OVERFLOW
Firstly, the film was rather cold, but it was meant to be this way. The film starts of very uncertain, it seems like Kounen did not see the film from the audiences eyes but assumed the audience saw through his. I felt many things went unexplained and would only make it easy to access to fanatics of Coco & Igor. Additionally, there was a lot of throw away shots, simply needless scenes that do not add to the story, and make it last longer than it should.
So, the film itself doesn’t give much. It lacks emotion from main two characters as they are indulged in their egos, the actual acting from Katarina Stravinskaya was the only bit that introduced some sort of emotion into the film as she conflicts the relationship between Igor & Chanel. I really felt like she knew her cards and delivered. Pretty much rest of the cast were pitched down and up at points, made me feel that the film wasn’t fully in tune.
Now onto, the music. The music delivered, oh it delivered. I really feel the choice of costume and production design was done well also, I loved the choice of clothes for Igor and the interior design really showcased the kind of talent & attention to detail Coco had. Visually, it was also decent the scenes revealed us who was in power and the editing showed us what Igor was thinking – most of the time. The shots of Igor in nature after sexual intercourse and the relationship he has with the world shined through even thought it did seem I was watching him through a big glass that sometimes not let me in.
On the other hand, to improve the connection between audiences the film needed to cut out needless scenes and added more tension and grip by faster pace cutting, more dramatic music when needed to. For example, no scenes show us that Igor and Coco got caught cheating, there were no build ups no moments where the audience could be grabbed by their fingers and taken into the world around Igor & Coco. To make this film really succeed it had to focus on one character and really develop the world of that character more. The emotions needed to shine more. I feel we don’t see that much of the characters behind closed doors, and most things I feel need more polishing.
Overall, the film was average. It lacked connection to the audience. It feels unfinished and in the end rushed a tad rushed. However, it showed a lot of honest emotion two main characters were feeling, disconnection and unhappiness. To conclude, the ending needed to hit a bigger chord with the audience to really give us the impact it had a chance to do.

I’m doing very well, thank you. Hello, everyone!
Definitely, I am always pushing my work forward and challenging myself. For my next piece, I will be creating a big full figure sculpture – my first! I am also in talks with another sculptor about a very exciting collaboration. It’s a secret for now, but I can’t wait to share it on social media as soon as I can!
I was drawing and painting my “characters” since I was a teenager, but as I grew older I felt a desire to bring them closer to life. One day I received polymer clay and some sculpting tools for my birthday and started sculpting little faces. I enjoyed it so much the medium became a regular part of my practice. Something about sculpting felt so right and natural like I was always meant to be doing it. From there it just got bigger and bigger until it became my main artistic focus.
Most of my inspiration comes from people and nature. Those inspirations come in many different forms – music, lyrics, movies, news, stories as well as real life moments and experiences – but in essence, it’s about us – who we are, what we do, how we are in the world. There is a strong emotional aspect to my art which comes from very personal and private feelings, but they are still a reflection/reaction to the world around me.
I have this relentless need to create things, ideas pour into my head daily and I get really excited about them. I’m not sure I could stop it if I tried, it’s how I’ve been “wired”. When I’m in my sculpting zone, the whole world disappears and it’s just me, the clay and the music I’m listening to – it’s the best feeling. In a way it is like therapy, calming and quieting the mind; it’s how I process the world and it brings me a lot of joy. The other side of it is how much I enjoy sharing my sculptures with the world. There’s something so powerful about the way humans connect through art; it’s at times mystifying how inanimate objects can bring out deep and intimate emotions in a person. It’s a wondrous phenomenon to be a part of.
Every piece starts with an idea that comes to my head, my studio is filled with pieces of paper with quick thumbnail sketches. When I decide to create a particular concept, I look for a model who I think embodies my idea. Next, comes a photo session with the model and I work from the photos we take to create the piece. I like to sculpt in daylight and will usually sculpt until the sun goes down, although I am no stranger to burning the midnight oil to meet a deadline. Music is very important – I have to be listening to music which inspires me and will often work with headphones. But if I have to push past daylight and I’m in a phase where I am working around the clock, I turn to binge watching old favorite shows to keep myself going. I think I’m on my 3rd round of watching all the seasons of “Friends” in under a year!
I wouldn’t say I have a favourite, there are things I admire about all of them. However, there are two which have had the most influence on my style. In early years (going back all the way to high school) I was strongly influenced by Art Nouveau and it is still a great source of inspiration for me. I am also drawn to & draw inspiration from Romanticism, particularly the sculptures.
I hope to inspire people. Most of us live in a very busy, noisy, complicated, material world which is exciting and colourful and I love being a part of it; but sometimes it seems we have lost our connection to some of the more “magical” things in life. I believe we are a part of nature and the cosmos and at our core, we are spiritual animals but we’ve lost our connection with the elements. I hope that when people take in my work, the world slows down around them and they experience emotions which they are usually too busy to let in; and walk away feeling a little different.
There’s a million things, of course, but these are the most important things –
be yourself, believe in yourself, work super hard, make a LOT of art and share it with the world!

Tran Nguyen is an award-winning artist and illustrator. She is known for her beautiful paintings created with pencil and acrylic on paper. Nguyen has a good sense of aesthetics which she successfully incorporates into her work making the viewer captivated and entranced in the dreamlike world which is both beautiful and therapeutic. This is built up on in some of her pieces by the use of soft colours and thoughtful compositions of subject matter to create a feeling of nostalgia and longing which is quite befitting since she is said to be ‘‘fascinated with creating visuals that can be used as a psycho-therapeutic support vehicle, exploring the mind’s landscape.’’
Traveling to a distant day
Through a lone, winding road
Enveloped between a pleated thought
Catching fragments of uncharted thoughts
Taste for bittersweet beds

Hi, how are you?
Very well thanks, busy with touring lately. Thanks for having me!
So, when did you decide to make music your career?
I started to mess around with music softwares when I was 13, cause I was a geek and I found some trackers softwares on some PC magazine’s CD attachment. My musical taste was changing those times from rap to dance music, so I started to make stupid dance “songs”. It became a hobby that took more time day by day beside learning programming in the school, literally spent almost all my freetime with it, I became and addict of music softwares, gears, music theory and MUSIC itself, and still I am. I sent my first demos out when I was 17, and Anjunabeats signed P.U.M.A. instantly and that was the moment when I realized this is what I want to do forever.
When I finished school I decided to take a job as an IT assistant to keep music as a hobby, instead of forcing it as a profession, cause I was worrying it would ruin everything.
I worked as IT guy until last year when I just couldn’t manage these thing in my life anymore, and had to decide what I want to do.. and it was pretty obvious I decided to choose my music career, cause I couldn’t live without making music anymore. That was the point when my hobby and my passion became my profession too and couldn’t be happier since then!
What is your source of inspiration when making music?
Anything can inspire, good mood, bad mood, a smile, a teardrop, a smell of a flower, a kiss of my wife. So many small wonderful things happen to us everyday, sometimes we don’t even recognize em. When I’m sitting at the piano i’m trying to set myself into a mood when I feel like it’s not me who creates the melodies, I just give my hands to someone who’s controlling me. I was always afraid it will be gone one day, and I’ll run out of ideas, but now I feel it’s gonna be with me forever.
Outside music do you have a hobby that you like to escape to?
I don’t have too much free time but I don’t complain cause music gives me almost everything. But if I have a couple of hours i love to watch some good movies or series or I like to play with some – mostly causal – video games. And my wife is an active voluntary member of the city pet rescue team and I help them too when I can, so sometimes I find myself on a car backseat going to the vet with a freshly rescued, big dirty dog on my lap, licking my face. 😀
Describe yourself in one word.
Human
If you could collaborate with any artist ever dead or alive who would it be and why?
I would say Sergei Rachmaninoff, cause his chord progressions are out of this world.
Do you have a favourite song/track you have made?
Most of the times after the release I find some parts what i would change somehow if I could. In every single track of mine. Except one: Enceladus. I still feel I wouldn’t change anything on that, it’s like my 5th symphony.
What do you hope to accomplish with your music?
I’d like to take my listeners through emotions into my own little world, where everything is better than in our real world at this moment, where everything is just beautiful or even if there is some darkness we need to deal with there is hope and enough power to defeat it. It sounds weird and cheesy I know, but it can be done through emotions, and music is one of the best resources to release emotions or feelings.
How long does it take for you to make a song?
I used to spend months to polish a track, but I realized it’s not a good strategy cause I have different emotions every day, i’m in different mood all the time when i’m sitting at the piano and the more different time I work on the musical idea, the bigger mess it becomes. 🙂 And my strategy is to make the final musical skeleton, the chords, melodies and harmonies a nice breakdown or a chorus as soon as possible, on one day if possible. And then I can start to make the sound design, the arrangement in the next phase, where I don’t really change the musical idea of the song, but starting to work out the track sonically. It can take another days or weeks, depends on many things. My record is finishing a track in one single day, and my negative record is to messing a track for 3 months. 🙂
If you could give any advice for any aspiring musicians out there what would it be?
It doesn’t matter what advice you get from anyone, you need to feel it if this is what you really love to do. And if it is, just do it, always and forever. You’re going to deal with a lot of difficult times which will make you appreciate all your small success later! But you need to have a deep, true and strong motivation in the bottom of your soul, which gives you enough fuel to stay inspired in all of your life!
How would you define culture?
To respect each other, to learn from each other and from our past, to make a positive impact on each other. To feel and to think – in the right ratio and in the right order. And to always evolve and try to become a better human being and so make the world a better place.
