    LOS ANGELES --

    Inspired by the new film Interstellar, Paramount Pictures and Google Play will develop a time capsule short film documentary capturing our most precious moments of life on Earth.

    From cave paintings and hieroglyphics, to folk tales and film, mankind has always passed along stories to preserve the past, and in that tradition, the time capsule project asks this generation to take its turn by submitting the memorable and inspiring moments of today to give future generations a way to remember where they came from.  Submissions will be selected to then be part of a short film made and produced by award-winning filmmakers David Brodie (The Witness, Survivors) and Angus Wall (editor on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network) and curated by Christopher Nolan (Interstellar, The Dark Knight, Inception).

    Whether it’s a favorite photo, a music performance, a diary entry or a dance, this effort calls upon the public to submit videos, photos, sounds, poetry and artwork that best represent mankind’s time on Earth. To learn more about the project, click here for info and to access an introductory video from Interstellar stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain.  Memories can also be submitted on this page through December 15, 2014.

    The time capsule effort is part of Google’s collaboration with Paramount Pictures for the first-ever partnership with a film that features initiatives delivered across Google platforms, including Google Play, Google for Education, Google+ and YouTube. Together, the companies are helping moviegoers connect to the film through immersive experiences, exclusive content and detailed information on how to see the film, find showtimes and purchase tickets.

    Interstellar stars McConaughey, Hathaway, Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow and Michael Caine. With time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history: traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars. Directed by Christopher Nolan, written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, and produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Lynda Obst.  Interstellar opened in theaters nationwide on November 7.

    BBC asks U.S. court to dismiss Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit

    The BBC filed a motion Monday asking a U.S. court to dismiss President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against it, warning that the case could have a "chilling effect" on robust reporting on public figures and events.

    The suit was filed in a Florida court, but the British national broadcaster argued that the court did not have jurisdiction, nor could Trump show that the BBC intended to misrepresent him.

    Trump filed a lawsuit in December over the way a BBC documentary edited a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021. The claim seeks $5 billion in damages for defamation and a further $5 billion for unfair trade practices.

    Last month a judge at the federal court for the Southern District of Florida provisionally set a trial date for February 2027.

    The BBC argued that the case should be thrown out because the documentary was never aired in Florida or the U.S.

    "We have therefore challenged jurisdiction of the Florida court and filed a motion to dismiss the president's claim," the corporation said in a statement.

    In a 34-page document, the BBC also argued that Trump failed to "plausibly allege facts showing that defendants knowingly intended to create a false impression."

    Trump's case "falls well short of the high bar of actual malice," it said.

    The document further claimed that "the chilling effect is clear" when Trump is "among the most powerful and high-profile individuals in the world, on whose activities the BBC reports every day."

    "Early dismissal is favoured given the powerful interest in ensuring that free speech is not unduly burdened by the necessity of defending against expensive yet groundless litigation, which would constrict the breathing space needed to ensure robust reporting on public figures and... Read More
