To understand James Gunn, the director of “Superman,” and the current co-chairman and CEO of DC Studios, is to understand where he comes from, cinematically. Everything he’s done in his career can be seen in his work. No matter how big the budgets get or iconic the characters, it is still imbued with his sensibility and the DNA of the environment in which he started making movies.
Growing up in the 1970s, I shared dinner with the crew of the USS Enterprise. It was a weekly tradition in our household.

There is no single figure in television history whose longevity and influence match Barbara Walters'. She became a star on NBC's "Today" in the early 1960s, raising the stature of the morning franchise. She opened doors for women as a network anchor and turned newsmaker interviews into major television events — 74 million tuned into her 1999 sit-down with Monica Lewinsky. She created one of daytime TV's longest-running hits with "The View," which evolved into a major forum for the country's political discourse.
One of the first films to set off the early 2000s zombie craze (perhaps best epitomized by the long-running series “The Walking Dead”) was the 2002 film “28 Days Later,” written by Alex Garland, directed by Danny Boyle, and starring Cillian Murphy.
