Leading an all-star cast, Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool, The Proposal) and Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Marvel’s Cinematic Universe) take viewers on an outrageous action-packed, comedic adventure in The Hitman’s Bodyguard. 

Directed by Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3, Red Hill) and written by Tom O’Connor (Fire with Fire),  The Hitman’s Bodyguard. follows Michael Bryce, an elite bodyguard, and Darius Kincaid, a renowned hit man, as they work together to avoid getting killed by others and each other. The film, which was #1 at the summer box office three weeks in a row, also stars Oscar nominees Salma Hayek (2002, Best Actress, Frida) and  Gary Oldman (2011, Best Actor, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy).

Strength, vulnerability, and commitment are three major themes in the life of dancer turned actress, Danay Garcia. You've seen her in Fear the Walking Dead as Luciana Galvez and as Sofia Lugo in Prison Break. She continues her acting journey as Kate Estrada in the new ​Sniper: Ultimate Kill. She walks in the shoes of a DEA agent who works to capture one man who complicates her operations and security, Colombian  drug kingpin Jesús Morales. On this mission, Kate becomes the target of “The Devil”, a sniper hired by Morales. In the operation, Kate’s team is compromised and she loses nearly every one of her agents. Estrada finds she must be careful who she trusts as she battles for survival.

In an interview with the star, she answered our questions and shared some personal thoughts of enlightenment and inspiration. 

Q. There’s a bar scene where you are surrounded by two men. One of them being persistent and disrespectful. Kate handled it with style and great physicality. Have you ever been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? 
A. I’ve never been in that situation, but if I had been I would've handled [it] exactly how Kate did it [she laughs].

Q. Not only did you star in the film Loca, you also  produced it. Is working behind the scenes something you’d like to tap into a little more? Perhaps as director one day? 
A. Yes, I actually just finished. I wrote my first short film. It's actually a 30 minute short film. I co-directed it and I produced it. And I loved it! I didn't act in it because I wanted to be behind the scenes. I loved every second of it. It was wonderful. It was amazing and that’s something I really want to develop with time. 

Q. What did you love most about playing Kate?  
A. I love her determination. She never took no for an answer. It was impossible for her to quit. She was so determined to overcome this huge task and finding ways to do it and failing at it too... The way she handled it,  the way she overcomes it, and the way she won was inspiring to me.

Q. What would you say are female key elements in staying true to yourself in the industry and/or in your everyday life? 
A. You should do what you love to do…. I think it’s important to focus on the things that make you feel that you’re evolving. 

I think what really has helped me stay grounded and focused is that, number one I have a beautiful family that I love and support and support me back, and number two  is that I really feel that I’m never working. I feel that I’m always having the best fun. 

Years go by and I’m living this dream [she laughs]. It’s like a dream, it doesn't seem normal or real, but it is real and it’s the reality I created. 

Q. Aside from your job, what do you do for fun and relaxation? 
A. I love to read. I’m into reading. I read a lot. I read like a book a week. Sometimes two. I love to dance. I go to ballet class when I’m not killing or shooting something [she giggles] when I'm on set. I love to work out. I love hiking. I love nature. I try to do camping with my son. It's really relaxing to just disconnect and traveling is a for sure thing.

Q. What projects are in the near future for Danay Garcia? 
A. This movie called Loca that I produced and it’s coming out next year.

The cast is with Steven Bauer, Emilio Rivera, Lou Diamond Phillips and Danny Trejo, and other artists. Great, great, great cast that we have and the movie's outstanding. We shot it in L.A.

And the short film that I wrote and co-produced that is right now in post-production. I shot this movie in Mexico and I hired Mexican cast and locals and it was an incredible story, and a great experience that I really wanna repeat. 

Q. If you could change one thing about the film/tv industry, what would it be and why? 
A. We’re getting so many great opportunities in television and movies. I just want it to keep happening more than anything.

Chavela centers around a 1991 interview--the singer's first public appearance after 12 hard years lost to alcoholism and heartbreak. Her amazing comeback began when Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, who had featured her music in many of his films, played an instrumental role in elevating her career to international acclaim. Whenever he introduced her to the public, he would kneel down to kiss the stage before she performed at renowned venues like New York’s Carnegie Hall, Paris’ L’Olympia Theatre, and Madrid’s Plaza de España. 
 
Born in Costa Rica in 1919, Chavela Vargas ran away to Mexico City as a teenager to sing in the streets.

​​Star Wars: Episode IX is set for release for May 24,  2019.

If you've ever come across the smallest conversation on over-population, maybe you've brainstormed a few ideas on how to solve it. But imagine creating a smaller version of you? Sounds unimaginable. I mean where to start, right? Well, Paramount Pictures brings this idea to life in the new comedy, Downsizing.

Starring Kristen Wiig, Matt Damon, Christoph Waltz, and Hong Chau this story involves science and a lot of imagination. Downsizing is  written by Jim Taylor and Alexander Payne-- who also directs the film and served as producer alongside Mark Johnson and Jim Taylor.

Here's a quick synopsis:
Downsizing imagines what might happen if, as a solution to over-population, Norwegian scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall and propose a 200-year global transition from big to small. People soon realize how much further money goes in a miniaturized world, and with the promise of a better life, everyman Paul Safranek (Matt Damon) and wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in Omaha in order to get small and move to a new downsized community — a choice that triggers life-changing adventures.
