– JJ Abrams will direct the next Star Wars Chapter
Activists with a big fake polar bear have occupied a Shell service station in the Swiss resort of Davos to protest Shell’s oil drilling in the Arctic. About 25 activists from around Europe chained gas pumps together at the station near where the World Economic Forum is being held and hung a banner on the roof reading “Arctic Oil – Too Risky.” Greenpeace helped stage the protest, raising concerns about dangers to the environment from Shell’s drilling in Alaska and urging forum organizers to reconsider Shell’s participation. A Shell drill barge ran aground on a remote Alaska island on New Year’s Eve. Shell officials, are among the 2,500 corporate and political leaders in Davos this week, did not immediately respond to phone calls about the protest.
Star Wars fans rejoice! Despite his public declaration a few weeks ago that he was not interested, J.J. Abrams will direct the next “Star Wars” chapter after all. Disney has said it will be “Episode 7” and is due to be out in 2015. Disney bought “Star Wars” maker Lucasfilm last month for $4.06 billion. The Emmy-award-winning director of the TV show “Lost” is also responsible for the “Star Trek” revival of rival studio Paramount Pictures – “Star Trek: Into Darkness,” is going to hit theaters May 17. Let’s see if Star Wars will beat out Star Treck at the Box office!
Andy Murray battled past Roger Federer in five sets to reach his third Australian Open and sixth Grand Slam final. The Briton, was seeded third, and will now face world number one Novak Djokovic in this Sunday’s final after beating Federer 6-4 6-7 6-3 6-7 6-2, in four dramatic hours. Now let’s see if Djokovic can stand his ground or if Murray will once again rise to the occasion and make England proud!
