From behind the scenes to 50 years on-screen, witness the beginnings of Star Wars in a brand new documentary directed by R.J. Cutler featuring archival footage and audio captured during the making of the historic film.
The Hero Awakens debuts May 4, 2027, only on @DisneyPlus.

The most stunning day-for-night scene I have ever seen.
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962)
Lawrence walks into the desert to contemplate how to take Aqaba. Legendary cinematographer Freddie Young turned daylight into an extraordinary moonlit landscape.
THE SECRET VISUAL RECIPE:
1. FILTERS
Freddie Young used 3N5 and 5N5 filters, combining yellow Aero filters with neutral density filters that alone cut 50% of the light.
2. EXPOSURE
Normally, you compensate for the light lost through a filter by increasing exposure. Young went the other way. He underexposed by 2 stops to help create the night effect.
3. COLOR
The camera reports carried this specific instruction to the film lab: "DAY-FOR-NIGHT: PLEASE ADD FIVE POINTS OF BLUE." The final look depended on both the photography and the photochemical color timing.
4. BACKLIGHT
The sun faced the camera and backlit the dunes, catching their crests and the airborne sand while the slopes facing the camera fell into deep shadow. Lawrence became a silhouette.
5. BLOWING SAND
The waves and streams of sand blowing across the frame were natural and real. They helped create more layers of depth and swirling motion to the four shots.
6. SCALE
Lawrence is tiny in the frame, surrounded by the desert, darkness and manufactured moonlight. Can one man standing alone in the desert change the course of history?
David Lean gave us time to absorb the moment.
One of the most evocative scenes in film history.

If you're a woman, you have not LIVED until you've seen the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth.
Especially the way Firth looks at Ehle in this one. You could set the world on fire with that contained heat.

I have introduced a bill to introduce compulsory labelling of halal and kosher meat.
Consumers have a right to know what they are eating. Yet every day people are consuming halal and kosher meat without knowing it - that’s meat where the animal has its throat slit and often is not stunned before slaughter.
At its heart, this is a straightforward proposal built on consumer choice, animal welfare and transparency. It is not about banning halal or kosher meat but about the compulsory labelling of it, which is currently only voluntary, so as to ensure consumers know what they are buying.
What began as a limited religious exemption has become an increasingly significant part of meat production.
