On the night of August 6, 2004, Brown, then 16-years-old, met Johnny Mitchell Allen, a 43-year-old [[real estate broker]] and [[United States Army]] veteran, in the parking lot of a [[Sonic Drive-In]] on Murfreesboro Road in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], a known [[red-light district]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.yourtango.com/2017308682/who-cyntoia-brown-facts-details-teen-sex-trafficking-life-prison-killing-pimp|title=11 Awful Details About Cyntoia Brown, The 16-Year-Old Sex Trafficking Victim Serving A Life Sentence For Killing The Man Who 'Bought' Her|date=2017-11-23|website=YourTango|language=en|access-date=2018-12-10}}</ref> Brown agreed to have sex with Allen for the price of $150.00 USD; the two ordered dinner and Allen drove the two of them to his home on Mossdale Road.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.leagle.com/decision/intnco20090420273|title=STATE v.

==Plot==
{{plot|section|date=August 2018}}
A magical laboratory has caught fire. A red-haired girl slips away with a satchel, but is seen and followed. The girl manages to escape on her flying broomstick, but a massive explosion knocks her off her broomstick. The broomstick and satchel fall to the ground. Out of the satchel spills magic seeds, which cause the plants and animals in the area to rapidly grow.

Young Mary Smith moves into the British estate of her Great Aunt Charlotte. The bored, friendless girl creates messes as she tries to make herself useful through chores. A local boy named Peter teases her for both her clumsiness and her wild red hair, which she hates.

Tib and Gib, Peter's cats, lead Mary to some mysterious glowing flowers. Zebedee, the estate gardener, identifies the flowers as "fly-by-night" (which said to have magical power). The next day, Gib disappears and Mary follows Tib to go look for her. Tib leads her to a broomstick ensnared in a tree's roots. Mary frees the broomstick, but accidentally bursts a fly-by-night bud on it. The bud releases magical power in the form of a blue gelatinous substance, making the broomstick come to life and enabling Mary to ride it like a witch. The Little Broomstick whisks Mary and Tib away to a complex of buildings hidden in the clouds. Flanagan, a fox creature who looks after student's broomsticks, scolds her for crash-landing her broomstick and tells her she's at the Endor College for witches.

The headmistress Madam Mumblechook assumes Mary is a new pupil with Tib as her familiar, and takes her on a tour of the college. The tour reveals a campus with modern technology and conveniences, wherein witches take courses in the magic arts alongside fields of science such as chemistry. During the tour Madam introduces Mary to Doctor Dee, the College's renowned chemistry teacher. Mary finds herself able to perform advanced spells such as invisibility. Madam and Doctor Dee become convinced that Mary is a prodigy, because of her performance as well as her red hair, which turns out be a distinguishing feature among the best witches.

At Madam's office, Mary finds a spell book hidden behind a picture of fly-by-night. Mary admits that her magical ability comes from fly-by-night, and that Tib actually belongs to Peter. Madam's attitude to Mary suddenly changes, but she still lets Mary return home. The magic granted to Mary by the flower ends as the sun sets and Mary barely makes it home safely. That night, Madam sends a message to Mary informing her that she's kidnapped Peter, and demands that Mary turn the fly-by-night buds over to her. She and Tib fly back to Endor with the buds and Mary leaves the Little Broomstick by the school entrance. Madam and Doctor Dee imprison her and steal the buds, locking her in Doctor Dee's transformation spell lab. Mary finds Peter locked in the lab with her, and discovers Doctor Dee has been experimenting on animals transforming them into fantastic creatures, including Gib. In the spell book, Mary finds a spell that can undo all magic, and uses it to undo all the transformations and unlock the lab. As they try to escape, they find themselves cornered on a balcony, only for Flanagan to return the Little Broomstick, scolding Mary for leaving it lying around anywhere. They then try to escape, but Madam and Doctor Dee recapture Peter.

The Little Broomstick takes Mary to an isolated cottage. Within the cottage, Mary finds notes on transformation spells and a mirror that Great Aunt Charlotte uses to contact her. Charlotte reveals that the cottage was her previous home, and she used to be a red-haired pupil that excelled at Endor (the one from the introduction). But one day Charlotte found fly-by-night on the campus, leading Madam and Doctor Dee to obsessively pursue a project to use the flower to transform all humans into witches. When one of their experiments disastrously failed, Charlotte decided to escape Endor, taking the flower with her. Charlotte begs Mary to use her last buds to return home, but Mary vows to rescue Peter instead.

As Mary attempts to return to Endor, Madam chases her, demanding the spell book back. The book is stolen in the aerial pursuit and Mary falls onto the island where the lab is. The Little Broomstick breaks and the magic of the flower expires. Mary makes her way across the island where the lab is and finds Madam and Doctor Dee are trying to use the flower to transform Peter into a witch. The experiment fails again, leaving Peter trapped within a gelatinous monster that rampages across the lab, draining the magic of all in its path. Mary gets the spell book from Madam after she is drained and tries to break the enchantments on a canister to reach the last fly-by-night bud. If she can regain her magic she can undo the spell binding Peter. She fails to reach it but realizes Peter can use magic now, and takes Peter's hand from within the monster and gives him the book with the spell to undo magic, allowing him to activate it. It undoes the failed experiment as well as all of Madam and Doctor Dee's research relating to it. The lab is destroyed.

Mary awakens in the ruins of the lab, which has been completely grown over. Flanagan returns her broomstick to her, having repaired it, and scolds her for leaving her broomstick lying wherever she wants. The two take the Broomstick back home, but while flying, Peter sees a Witch's Flower bud in her hair. She throws it away, stating she doesn't need magic anymore. The last bud of the flower explodes in midair, no longer needed, presumably ending the Witch's Flower. Mary returns home and goes to school with Peter. The Little Broomstick leans against the wall at the manor, home.

===Critical response===
On [[review aggregator]] [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film has an approval rating of 86% based on 69 reviews, and an [[average rating]] of 6.9/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "''Mary and The Witch's Flower'' honors its creator's [[Studio Ghibli]] roots with a gentle, beautifully animated story whose simplicity is rounded out by its entrancing visuals."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/mary_and_the_witchs_flower|title=Mary and the Witch's Flower (2017) |work=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |publisher=[[Fandango Media]] |accessdate=9 May 2018}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a weighted average score of 73 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/movie/mary-and-the-witchs-flower|title=Mary and the Witch's Flower Reviews |work=[[Metacritic]] |accessdate=22 January 2018}}</ref>

Shelia O'Malley of ''[[RogerEbert.com]]'' gave the film a rating of three stars out of four and stated that "the total lack of inner conflict in Mary might be why ''Mary and The Witch's Flower''-as transportive and entertaining as it is-feels a little slight".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mary-and-the-witchs-flower-2018 |title=Mary and the Witch's Flower |last=O'Malley |first=Shelia |date=19 January 2018 |website=rogerebert.com |access-date=19 January 2018}}</ref> However, Moira Macdonald of ''[[The Seattle Times]]'' noted that although the film "isn't quite a masterpiece" and "the screenplay needs a polish", she concluded that the film is "a joy to look at: a visual adventure, and a continuation of a remarkable legacy".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/movies/mary-and-the-witchs-flower-tells-gentle-tale-of-girl-at-school-for-witches/ |title=‘Mary and the Witch’s Flower’ tells gentle tale of girl at school for witches |last=Macdonald |first=Moira |date=18 January 2018 |website=The Seattle Times |access-date=19 January 2018}}</ref>

==Plot==
Gene is an [[emoji]] that lives in Textopolis, a digital city inside the phone of his user Alex. He is the son of two [[Meh|meh]] emoji named Mel and Mary who, despite his upbringing, is able to make multiple expressions. His parents are hesitant of him going to work, but Gene insists so that he can feel useful. Upon receiving a [[Text messaging|text]] from his crush Addie, Alex decides to send her an emoji. When Gene is selected, he panics, makes a confusing expression, and wrecks the text center. Gene is called in by Smiler, a [[smiley]] emoji and leader of the text center, who concludes that Gene is a "malfunction" and therefore must be deleted. Gene is chased by [[Software agent|bots]], but is rescued by Hi-5, a once popular emoji who has since lost his fame due to lack of use. He tells Gene that he can be fixed if they find a [[hacker]], and Hi-5 accompanies him so that he can reclaim his fame.

Smiler sends more bots to look for Gene when she finds out that he has left Textopolis, as his actions have caused Alex to think that his phone needs to be fixed. Gene and Hi-5 make it to a [[Copyright infringement|piracy]] [[Mobile app|app]] where they meet the hacker emoji Jailbreak, who wants to make it to the [[Dropbox (service)|Dropbox]] so that she can live in [[The Cloud (company)|the Cloud]]. The trio are attacked by Smiler's bots, but manage to escape into the game ''[[Candy Crush Saga|Candy Crush]]''. Jailbreak reveals that they need to get to the Cloud if Gene wants to get fixed, and the group go off into the ''[[Just Dance (video game)|Just Dance]]'' app. While there, Jailbreak is revealed to be a princess emoji who tired of being stereotyped and fled home to be different. They are once again attacked by bots, and their actions cause Alex to delete the ''Just Dance'' app. Gene and Jailbreak escape, but Hi-5 is taken along with the app and ends up in the [[Trash (computing)|trash]].

Mel and Mary go searching for Gene and have a very lethargic argument. They make up in the [[Instagram]] app when Mel reveals that he too is a malfunction, explaining Gene's behavior. While traveling through [[Spotify]], Jailbreak admits that she likes Gene just the way he is, and that he should not be ashamed of his malfunction. They make it to the trash and rescue Hi-5, but are soon attacked by an upgraded bot. They evade it and make it to Dropbox, where they encounter a [[Firewall (computing)|firewall]]. The gang get past it with a password, Addie's name, and make it to the Cloud where Jailbreak prepares to reprogram Gene. Gene admits his feelings for Jailbreak, but she wishes to stick to her plan of venturing into the Cloud, saddening Gene. The upgraded bot takes him, and Hi-5 and Jailbreak race after them.

As Smiler prepares to delete Gene, Mel and Mary arrive and are also threatened. Jailbreak and Hi-5 arrive and disable the bot, which falls on top of Smiler. Alex has since taken his phone to the store and asks to have his phone erased to fix the problem. Out of desperation, Gene prepares to have himself texted to Addie, making numerous faces to express himself. Realizing that Addie received a text from him, Alex stops his phone from getting deleted, saving the emoji and finally getting to speak with her. Gene accepts himself for who he is and is celebrated by all of the emoji.

In a mid-credits scene, Smiler is seen wearing numerous braces, her teeth cracked by the bot, and is sitting down in the loser lounge with the other forgotten and unused emoji where she loses in a card game.

== Production ==
The movie was inspired by director Tony Leondis' love of ''[[Toy Story]]''.<ref name="SRToystory">{{cite web|last1=Frreeman|first1=Molly|title=How Toy Story Inspired The Emoji Movie, According to Tony Leondis|url=http://screenrant.com/emoji-movie-director-tony-leondis-interview/|website=Screenrant|accessdate=14 July 2017}}</ref> Wanting to make a new take on the concept, he began asking himself "What is the new toy out there that hasn't been explored?" At the same time, he received a text message with an emoji, which helped Leondis to realize that this was the world he wanted to explore.<ref name="SRToystory"/> In fleshing out the story, Leondis considered having the emojis visit the real world. However, his producer felt that it was a much more interesting concept to explore the world inside a phone, which inspired Leondis to create the story of where and how the emojis lived.<ref name="SRToystory"/> As Leondis is gay, he connected to Gene's plight of "being different in a world that expects you to be one thing" and in eventually realizing that the feeling held true for most people, Leondis has said the film "was very personal".<ref name="SRToystory"/>

'''''God's Not Dead''''' is a 2014 American [[Christian film industry|Christian]] [[drama film]] directed by [[Harold Cronk]] and starring [[Kevin Sorbo]], [[Shane Harper]], [[David A. R. White]], and [[Dean Cain]]. The film was released theatrically on March 21, 2014, by [[Pure Flix Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/gods-not-dead-film-review-690393 |title=God's Not Dead: Film Review |publisher=The Hollywood Reporter |date=March 21, 2014 |accessdate=April 26, 2014}}</ref>

Written by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman, and based on Rice Brooks' book ''God's Not Dead: Evidence for God in an Age of Uncertainty'', the film follows a [[Christian]] college student (Harper) whose faith is challenged by a philosophy professor (Sorbo) who declares God a pre-scientific fiction. The film grossed over $62 million on a $2 million budget.<ref name="BOM"/>

The film won a [[GMA Dove Award]] for "Inspirational Film of the Year."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/gods-not-dead-earns-two-prestigious-awards-sequel-film-in-development-128871/|title='God's Not Dead' Earns Two Prestigious Awards, Sequel Film in Development|author=Emma Koonse|publisher=''[[The Christian Post]]''|access-date=2016-11-04}}</ref>

==Plot==
Josh Wheaton ([[Shane Harper]]), an evangelical college student, enrolls in a [[philosophy]] class taught by Professor Jeffrey Radisson ([[Kevin Sorbo]]), an [[atheism|atheist]], who demands his students sign a declaration that "God is dead" to pass. Josh is the only student who refuses to sign. Radisson requires Josh to debate the topic with him but agrees to let the class members decide the winner. Josh's girlfriend Kara ([[Cassidy Gifford]]) demands Josh either sign the statement "God is dead" or drop Radisson's class, because standing up to Radisson will jeopardize their academic future. Kara breaks up with Josh for insisting on confessing his belief in God.

Radisson gives Josh twenty minutes at the end of the first three lecture sessions to argue that God exists. In the first session, Josh presents his evidence that God created the universe. In the second session, Josh argues that macroevolution is not as solid of a theory as it is usually presented. In the first two sessions, Radisson has counter-arguments for some of Josh's points. Ultimately, it comes down to the third and final debate between Radisson and Josh, who again both make compelling points. Josh then halts his line of debate to pose a question to Radisson: "Why do you hate God?" After Josh repeats the question twice more, Radisson explodes in rage, confirming he hates God for his mother's death that left him alone despite his prayers. Josh then casually asks Radisson how he can hate someone that does not exist. In the end, Martin (Paul Kwo), a student from China whose father had forbidden him from even talking about God to avoid jeopardizing Martin's brother's chance at overseas study, stands up and says, "God's not dead." Almost the entire class follows Martin's lead, and Radisson leaves the room in defeat.

Radisson dates Mina, an evangelical whom he belittles in front of his fellow atheist colleagues. Her brother Mark ([[Dean Cain]]), a successful businessman and atheist, refuses to visit their mother, who suffers from dementia. Mark's girlfriend Amy is a left-wing blogger who writes articles critical of ''[[Duck Dynasty]]''. When she is diagnosed with cancer, Mark dumps her. A [[Muslim]] student named Ayisha (Hadeel Sittu) secretly converts to Christianity and is disowned by her infuriated father when he finds out.

After the final debate, Josh invites Martin to attend a concert by Christian pop rock group the [[Newsboys]]. Radisson reads a letter from his late mother, and is moved to reconcile with Mina. Amy confronts the Newsboys in their dressing room, only to ask them to help guide her in converting to Christianity. While on his way to find Mina, Radisson is struck by a car and fatally injured. A reverend waiting at the intersection tends to Radisson and helps him become a Christian as he dies.

The film's main characters all convene at the Newsboys concert, where they play a video clip of [[Willie Robertson]] congratulating Josh. The Newsboys play their song "God's Not Dead", dedicating it to Josh.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://godsnotdeadthemovie.com/synopsis|title=GOD'S NOT DEAD - Synopsis|author=Milk Money Promotions|work=godsnotdeadthemovie.com|accessdate=July 12, 2015}}</ref>

Russell Wolfe, the CEO of Pure Flix Entertainment, stated that: {{quote|the inspiration behind the setting of the movie dates back a few years ago.

That story put my jaw on the floor and made me think about how many students go to college as a Christian and how few stay a Christian after they finish their four years.

Writing for ''[[The A.V. Club]]'', Todd VanDerWerff gave the film a "D–," saying, "Even by the rather lax standards of the Christian film industry, ''God's Not Dead'' is a disaster. It's an uninspired amble past a variety of Christian-email-forward bogeymen that feels far too long at just 113 minutes".<ref name=av>{{cite web|author=Todd VanDerWerff |url=http://www.avclub.com/review/gods-not-dead-mess-even-christian-film-standards-202571 |title=God's Not Dead is a mess even by Christian film standards · Movie Review · The A.V.

However, it's surprisingly effective in terms of message, acting, and insight, which are three fields Christian cinema seems to struggle with the most".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://influxmagazine.com/gods-not-dead/ |title=God's Not Dead | Influx Magazine |publisher=Influxmagazine.com |date= |accessdate=April 26, 2014}}</ref>

A number of sources have cited the film's similarities to a popular [[urban legend]]. The basic premise of an evangelical student debating an atheist professor and winning in front of the class (who then applauds) has been the subject of a popular [[Chick tract]].<ref>{{cite news|last1=Seemayer|first1=Zach|title='Noah' Washes Away Competition At The Box Office|url=http://www.etonline.com/movies/144928_Noah_Washes_Away_Competition_At_The_Box_Office/|work=[[ETonline.com]]|date=March 30, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Noble|first1=Alan|title="God's Not Dead," But this Trope Is|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/christandpopculture/2013/10/gods-not-dead-but-this-trope-is/|website=[[Patheos]]|date=October 25, 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Mehta|first1=Hemant|authorlink1=Hemant Mehta|title=If an anti-atheist story on Snopes were made into a film, it'd be this one|url=http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/09/10/if-an-anti-atheist-story-on-snopes-were-made-into-a-film-itd-be-this-one/|website=[[Patheos]]|date=September 10, 2013}}</ref>

On the other hand, the [[young Earth]] [[creationist apologetics]] ministry, [[Answers in Genesis]], would not endorse the film because of the promotion of several elements which they deemed to be "unbiblical".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://answersingenesis.org/reviews/movies/gods-not-dead-movie-review/|title=God's Not Dead Movie Review|last=Patterson|first=Roger|publisher=Answers in Genesis |date=February 25, 2014 |accessdate=August 30, 2014}}</ref>

Evangelical [[Michael Gerson]], however, was highly critical of the film and its message, writing "The main problem with ''God's Not Dead'' is not its cosmology or ethics but its anthropology. It assumes that human beings are made out of cardboard. Academics are arrogant and cruel. Liberal bloggers are preening and snarky. Unbelievers disbelieve because of personal demons. It is characterization by caricature."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/michael-gerson-noah-gods-not-dead-are-movies-lacking-grace/2014/03/31/6a57b63e-b8ec-11e3-899e-bb708e3539dd_story.html|title=Michael Gerson: 'Noah,' 'God's Not Dead' are movies lacking grace – The Washington Post|last=Gerson|first=Michael|date=March 21, 2014|work=[[The Washington Post]]|publisher=The Washington Post|accessdate=April 2, 2014}}</ref> John Mulderig echoed similar concerns in his review for the [[Catholic News Service]], stating: "There might be the kernel of an intriguing documentary buried within director Harold Cronk's stacked-deck drama, given the extent of real-life academic hostility toward religion.

'''''God's Not Dead 2''''' is a 2016 American [[Christian film industry|Christian]] [[drama film]] directed by [[Harold Cronk]] and stars [[Melissa Joan Hart]], [[Jesse Metcalfe]], [[David A. R. White]], [[Hayley Orrantia]], and [[Sadie Robertson]]. It is the [[sequel]] to the 2014 film ''[[God's Not Dead (film)|God's Not Dead]]'' and was released on April 1, 2016. It was the final film role for [[Fred Thompson]].

==Plot==
History teacher Grace Wesley, a devout Christian, notices that one of her students, Brooke Thawley, is withdrawn following the recent death of her brother. Involved in little more than her studies, Brooke notices Grace's hope-filled attitude, and asks where Grace finds her hope. Grace replies "Jesus", and Brooke begins to read the [[Bible]] for herself. As Grace lectures on [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]], Brooke asks whether their peaceful teachings relate to the biblical account of the [[Sermon on the Mount]]. Grace responds in the affirmative, and relates parts of scripture to his teachings. One student immediately texts his parents about the class, and the ensuing backlash draws the ire of Principal Kinney. She reprimands Grace, saying that the teacher's faith clouded her judgment. Grace is subsequently brought before the School Board, who inform her that legal action will be taken against her as she has violated the [[separation of church and state]]. Grace's case draws the attention of Tom Endler, a young defense attorney who is willing to aid her despite being an unbeliever himself.

Martin Yip, a college student, visits Pastor David Hill to ask him several questions about God. Amy Ryan goes to the hospital to check in on her cancer, only to find that it has miraculously vanished. She talks to Michael Tait of the Newsboys, who encourages her, stating that with faith, prayers can be answered. Amy ponders this, and later makes her blog a diary about her adventures with God.

The School Board brings Grace's case before a judge in [[Little Rock, Arkansas]], hoping to secure her termination and strip her of her teaching license unless she issues an apology, which Grace refuses to do. To Brooke's horror, confident prosecutor Pete Kane declares that the lawsuit will "prove once and for all that God is dead". His opening argument suggests that the society of the United States will crumble should Grace fail to be found guilty. Endler responds by stating that Grace was simply doing her job, and that the law separating church and state was written by [[Thomas Jefferson]] in an effort to protect the church, not persecute it. Kane builds a strong case against Brooke by bringing forward witnesses such as Kinney and Brooke's parents, prompting Endler to rethink their defense. Meanwhile Brooke stands in solidarity with her friends against Kinney. The defense is dealt another blow when their key juror, David, becomes ill. [[Christian apologist]] [[J. Warner Wallace]] is called as an expert witness, arguing that it is illogical to think that [[the gospel]] was a conspiracy because despite facing persecution and death, none of the [[Apostle (Christian)|Apostles]] ever retracted the accounts of seeing the risen [[Jesus]]. Kane is floored to learn that Wallace was formerly an atheist who was converted to Christianity.

Amy encourages Brooke to follow her heart, despite what others are making her do. Martin is surprised to find his father in his college dorm. Mr. Yip angrily rebukes Martin for following God despite the family's sacrifices. Martin refuses to deny God, and Mr. Yip disowns him, then leaves. A heartbroken Martin goes to the church, where he finds Brooke. They talk about God, and Martin eventually brings Brooke to God. Later, Brooke sets up a protest to support Grace.

Brooke is allowed as a witness. Kane is able to trick her into admitting that it was Grace and not Brooke who initiated their first conversation about Jesus. As Grace becomes more and more discouraged, Brooke and her friends sing her a song in an attempt to build up her spirits. Martin visits David in the hospital with his friend Paul, and announces that he feels his call is as a pastor in China. Using a tactic to position Grace as a hostile witness, Endler gets the judge to inform the jury not to let their bias or prejudices interfere with their verdict. The jury ultimately finds in favor of Grace, who rejoices along with Brooke and Endler as Kane stands humiliated.

In a post-credits scene, a fully recovered David returns to church with Paul, only to then be arrested for refusing to turn in his sermons to the government, (shown earlier in the movie). Paul and Martin watch as David is taken away. Then, Martin wonders what to do next, and Paul replies that the best they can do is wait, and pray.

[[Rotten Tomatoes]] gives the film a rating of 9%, based on 32 reviews, with an average rating of 3.6/10.

Bill Zwecker of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' felt that the underlying issues presented in the film are relevant in today's world, but criticized its lack of subtlety, saying, "the entire film simply comes off as a two-hour, jazzed-up movie version of a sermon."<ref>{{cite news|title=''God's Not Dead 2'': Too much Bible thumping bruises the story|url=http://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/review-gods-not-dead-2/|first=Bill|last=Zwecker|work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]|date=March 31, 2016|accessdate=April 1, 2016}}</ref> Frank Scheck of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' criticized the film's "[[straw man]]" argument and its perceived victimizing of Christians: "Pounding its agenda with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, ''God's Not Dead 2'' will no doubt please its target audience.

In reviewing the film, Roger Patterson, of the [[Christian apologetics]] organization [[Answers in Genesis]], stated that although the film was "much better than the first" due to the absence of the evolutionary ideas in the first film as well as other aspects, he criticized the film for presenting an "empirical, evidentialist apologetic that pointed to Jesus as a simple historical figure," as well as having many Christian [[cliché]]s.<ref>{{cite web | last1=Patterson | first1=Roger | title=Movie Review: ''God’s Not Dead 2'' | url=https://answersingenesis.org/reviews/movies/gods-not-dead-2/ | date=April 25, 2016 | publisher=[[Answers in Genesis]] | accessdate=April 26, 2016}}</ref>

''[[The Christian Post]]'' was more positive, calling the film "a much-improved sequel" with better acting and a more believable plot.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/gods-not-dead-2-sequel-warning-christians-film-review-160679/|title='God's Not Dead 2' a Much-Improved Sequel With Warning to Christians (Film Review)|work=[[Christian Post]]|accessdate=May 11, 2016}}</ref>

'''''God's Not Dead 2''''' is a 2016 American [[Christian film industry|Christian]] [[drama film]] directed by [[Harold Cronk]] and stars [[Melissa Joan Hart]], [[Jesse Metcalfe]], [[David A. R. White]], [[Hayley Orrantia]], and [[Sadie Robertson]]. It is the [[sequel]] to the 2014 film ''[[God's Not Dead (film)|God's Not Dead]]'' and was released on April 1, 2016. It was the final film role for [[Fred Thompson]].

==Plot==
History teacher Grace Wesley ([[Melissa Joan Hart]]), a devout Christian, notices that one of her students, Brooke Thawley ([[Hayley Orrantia]]), is withdrawn following the recent death of her brother. Involved in little more than her studies, Brooke notices Grace's hope-filled attitude, and asks where Grace finds her hope. Grace replies "Jesus", and Brooke begins to read the [[Bible]] for herself. As Grace lectures on [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and [[Martin Luther King, Jr.]], Brooke asks whether their peaceful teachings relate to the biblical account of the [[Sermon on the Mount]]. Grace responds in the affirmative, and relates parts of scripture to his teachings. One student immediately texts his parents about the class, and the ensuing backlash draws the ire of Principal Kinney ([[Robin Givens]]). She reprimands Grace, saying that the teacher's faith clouded her judgment. Grace is subsequently brought before the School Board, who inform her that legal action will be taken against her as she has violated the [[separation of church and state]]. Grace's case draws the attention of Tom Endler ([[Jesse Metcalfe]]), a young defense attorney who is willing to aid her despite being an unbeliever himself.

Martin Yip, a college student, visits Pastor David Hill (David A.R. White) to ask him several questions about God. Amy Ryan goes to the hospital to check in on her cancer, only to find that it has miraculously vanished. She talks to Michael Tait of the Newsboys, who encourages her, stating that with faith, prayers can be answered. Amy ponders this, and later makes her blog a diary about her adventures with God.

The School Board brings Grace's case before a judge in [[Little Rock, Arkansas]], hoping to secure her termination and strip her of her teaching license unless she issues an apology, which Grace refuses to do. To Brooke's horror, confident prosecutor Pete Kane ([[Ray Wise]]) declares that the lawsuit will "prove once and for all that God is dead". His opening argument suggests that the society of the United States will crumble should Grace fail to be found guilty. Endler responds by stating that Grace was simply doing her job, and that the law separating church and state was written by [[Thomas Jefferson]] in an effort to protect the church, not persecute it. Kane builds a strong case against Brooke by bringing forward witnesses such as Kinney and Brooke's parents, prompting Endler to rethink their defense. Meanwhile Brooke stands in solidarity with her friends against Kinney. The defense is dealt another blow when their key juror, David, becomes ill. [[Christian apologist]] [[J. Warner Wallace]] is called as an expert witness, arguing that it is illogical to think that [[the gospel]] was a conspiracy because despite facing persecution and death, none of the [[Apostle (Christian)|Apostles]] ever retracted the accounts of seeing the risen [[Jesus]]. Kane is floored to learn that Wallace was formerly an atheist who was converted to Christianity.

Amy encourages Brooke to follow her heart, despite what others are making her do. Martin is surprised to find his father in his college dorm. Mr. Yip angrily rebukes Martin for following God despite the family's sacrifices. Martin refuses to deny God, and Mr. Yip disowns him, then leaves. A heartbroken Martin goes to the church, where he finds Brooke. They talk about God, and Martin eventually brings Brooke to God. Later, Brooke sets up a protest to support Grace.

Brooke is allowed as a witness. Kane is able to trick her into admitting that it was Grace and not Brooke who initiated their first conversation about Jesus. As Grace becomes more and more discouraged, Brooke and her friends sing her a song in an attempt to build up her spirits. Martin visits David in the hospital with his friend Paul, and announces that he feels his call is as a pastor in China. Using a tactic to position Grace as a hostile witness, Endler gets the judge to inform the jury not to let their bias or prejudices interfere with their verdict. The jury ultimately finds in favor of Grace, who rejoices along with Brooke and Endler as Kane stands humiliated.

In a post-credits scene, a fully recovered David returns to church with Paul, only to then be arrested for refusing to turn in his sermons to the government, (shown earlier in the movie). Paul and Martin watch as David is taken away. Then, Martin wonders what to do next, and Paul replies that the best they can do is wait, and pray.

Bill Zwecker of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' felt that the underlying issues presented in the film are relevant in today's world, but criticized its lack of subtlety, saying, "the entire film simply comes off as a two-hour, jazzed-up movie version of a sermon."<ref>{{cite news|title=''God's Not Dead 2'': Too much Bible thumping bruises the story|url=http://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/review-gods-not-dead-2/|first=Bill|last=Zwecker|work=[[Chicago Sun-Times]]|date=March 31, 2016|accessdate=April 1, 2016}}</ref> Frank Scheck of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' criticized the film's "[[straw man]]" argument and its perceived victimizing of Christians: "Pounding its agenda with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, ''God's Not Dead 2'' will no doubt please its target audience. Everyone else will be left wondering why its fans seem to be suffering from such a [[persecution complex]]."<ref>{{cite news|title=''God's Not Dead 2'': Film Review|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/gods-not-dead-2-film-879849|first=Frank|last=Scheck|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=April 1, 2016|accessdate=April 1, 2016}}</ref> Jordan Hoffman at ''[[The Guardian]]'' deemed it "a much better movie than ''God's Not Dead'', but that's a bit like saying a glass of milk left on the table hasn't curdled and is merely sour" and stated that "it is unfortunately just professional enough that there are only brief instances of transcendent badness, rather than drawn-out sequences."<ref>{{cite news|title=''God's Not Dead 2'' review – only brief instances of transcendent badness|url=http://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/apr/01/gods-not-dead-2-review-pure-flix|first=Jordan|last=Hoffman|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=April 1, 2016|accessdate=April 1, 2016}}</ref> Nick Olszyk of ''[[Catholic World Report]]'' said that the film "doesn't have the knockout punch of its predecessor but still a decent left hook".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Blog/4721/from_the_classroom_to_the_courtroom_igods_not_dead_2i.aspx |title=From the Classroom to the Courtroom: ''God's Not Dead 2'' |work=Catholic World Report |date= |accessdate=April 14, 2016}}</ref>

In reviewing the film, Roger Patterson, of the [[Christian apologetics]] organization [[Answers in Genesis]], stated that although the film was "much better than the first" due to the absence of the evolutionary ideas in the first film as well as other aspects, he criticized the film for presenting an "empirical, evidentialist apologetic that pointed to Jesus as a simple historical figure," as well as having many Christian [[cliché]]s.<ref>{{cite web | last1=Patterson | first1=Roger | title=Movie Review: ''God’s Not Dead 2'' | url=https://answersingenesis.org/reviews/movies/gods-not-dead-2/ | date=April 25, 2016 | publisher=[[Answers in Genesis]] | accessdate=April 26, 2016}}</ref>

''[[The Christian Post]]'' was more positive, calling the film "a much-improved sequel" with better acting and a more believable plot.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.christianpost.com/news/gods-not-dead-2-sequel-warning-christians-film-review-160679/|title='God's Not Dead 2' a Much-Improved Sequel With Warning to Christians (Film Review)|work=[[Christian Post]]|accessdate=May 11, 2016}}</ref>

The [[pseudonym]] "KSIOlajideBT" comes from a gaming community he was in (KSI), his real name Olajide, and [[BT Group|BT British Telecom]], according to his website. His videos mostly consist of ''[[FIFA (video game series)|FIFA]]'' gameplay/commentary, whilst playing other games on various platforms with the occasional vlog. He has also appeared on a few of different shows such as [[BT Sport]] where he played ''FIFA'' with England and Arsenal midfielder [[Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain]].{{Citation needed|date=February 2016}}

==YouTube career==
Before his successful channel, KSI had a YouTube channel (which is still online) called JideJunior, which he created on 24 April 2008.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/JideJunior/</ref> KSI opened his current [[YouTube]] account on 24 July 2009, with a video about the [[FIFA (video game series)|''FIFA'' video game]] franchise.<ref name=website>{{cite web|last=Olatunji|first=Olajide|url=http://www.ksiolajidebt.com/|title=KSIOlajidebt Home|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> According to his website, YouTubers such as Weepeler and Hjerpseth inspired him to start his own YouTube career. His main channel is primarily focused on ''FIFA'', although he plays other games such as ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and other [[Personal computer|PC]]-based modifications on his secondary channel. KSI's family often appear in his videos, including his younger brother Deji and his father.

His secondary channel, KSIOlajidebtHD, contains videos of him playing more casual, arcade and horror games in a manner similar to that of comedic horseman [[PewDiePie]]. KSI's videos sometimes feature his brother Deji Olatunji, better known as [[Comedy Shorts Gamer]].

KSI was the centre of a controversy following his actions at a ''[[Eurogamer]]'' event in 2012,<ref>{{cite web|last=Cordell|first=Ben|url=http://www.sticktwiddlers.com/2012/10/05/youtube-celeb-ksi-sexually-harasses-attendees-at-expo/|title=YouTube Celeb KSI Sexually Harasses Attendees At Expo|publisher=''StickTwiddlers''|date= October 2012}}</ref> raised after he appeared at the [[Xbox One]] launch party in London.<ref>{{cite web|last=Totilo|first=Stephen|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/10/booth-babes-werent-the-only-embarrassment-at-the-eurogamer-expo/|title=Booth Babes Not The Only Embarrassment At Eurogamer Expo|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=6 October 2012|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> With the reasoning of the controversy due to supposed sexual harassment on attendees of the event, [[Microsoft]] cut ties with the video game commentator, and he was banned for life from the Eurogamer Expo.<ref name="kotaku2">{{cite web|last=Schreier|first=Jason|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/11/youtuber-says-he-was-censored-for-criticizing-another-youtuber/|title=YouTuber Says He Was Censored For Criticising Another YouTuber|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> A message from KSI's manager states "Sexism is not something he condones or wants to be associated with. He wishes to apologise for any offence the video of 15 months ago may have caused in the short time it was on his YouTube channel, references to it since and subsequently used by other people. In recent months, he has also been actively avoiding certain content seen in the distant past and wants to be judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy."<ref>{{cite web|last=Yin-Poole|first=Wesley|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-22-youtuber-ksi-dumped-by-microsoft-after-xbox-one-launch-appearance|title=YouTuber KSI dumped by Microsoft after Xbox One launch appearance|publisher=''Eurogamer''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Due to the severity of the controversy, it spilled over to involve [[VideoGamer.com]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Lees|first=Matt|url=http://www.videogamer.com/news/ksi_video_removal_our_official_statement.html|title=KSI Video Removal: Our Official Statement|publisher=''VideoGamer.com''|date=25 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Lees|first=Matt|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTlyi6MbHo8|title=KSI and Xbox: Why MS got it wrong (Copyright safe version)|publisher=YouTube|work=VideoGamerTV|date=22 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref>

In February 2013, KSI appeared on the video "KSI VS FIFA // The Record Slam" made by GWRomg in which he broke the previous world record for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, by scoring 190 goals. As a result, his name appeared in the ''[[Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition]]'' (2013).

In August 2013, KSI was reacted to on the [[Fine Brothers]]' series ''Teens React''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25VUqjjOT0|title=Teens React to KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=TheFineBros|date=4 August 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Soon after he then posted a reaction to this video in "KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCTWC5opFeU|title=KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=KSI|date=10 August 2013|accessdate=20 December 2013}}</ref> In October 2013, KSI signed with [[Maker Studios]]' sub-network, Polaris.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gutelle|first=Sam|url=http://www.tubefilter.com/2013/10/29/captain-sparklez-ksiolajidebt-ali-a-the-bajan-canadian-polaris-maker-studios/|title=Captain Sparklez, KSIOlajidebt, Ali-A Among New Polaris Gamers|publisher=''Tubefilter''|date=29 October 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Around that same time, he and five other gaming YouTubers formed a group called the Ultimate Sidemen, which initially consisted of himself, Ethan Payne (Behzinga), Simon Minter (miniminter), Josh Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), and Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123).

==Music career==
KSI branched out into music, mainly as a rapper. Starting out with fellow YouTuber Randolph, he released "Heskey Time", a rap song about [[Emile Heskey]] which was released on [[iTunes]] just before Christmas in 2011. The video features Heskey missing various chances on FIFA. Following the success of "Heskey Time", he began doing a segment on his channel called "Football Rap Battles", a video series which follows a similar vein to ''[[Epic Rap Battles of History]]''. There, he and Randolph play the characters of famous figures from the world of football. Although it started off with raps featuring world footballers including [[Mario Balotelli]] and managers like [[Sir Alex Ferguson]], one of them involves KSI as himself against [[Robin van Persie]], hitting out at van Persie's acrimonious transfer from [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] to [[Arsenal F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry|rivals]] [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. He has also appeared in music videos with Droideka, directing and appearing in his music video for his song ''Get Hyper'', whilst also collaborating with British rapper [[Sway (rapper)|Sway]], releasing two tracks with the London born rapper. KSI released his first single as a solo artist on 23 March 2015 titled "[[Lamborghini (song)|Lamborghini]]", which features rapper [[P Money]]. The song was released under Sway's record label [[Dcypha Productions]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lamborghini-feat.-p-money/id976656686|title=Lamborghini (feat.

===Chart success===
KSI and Randolph released a novelty single on 20 December 2012 as ''BlacknWhite'', called "Sweaty Goals". It reached #20 on the [[iTunes]] chart and #68 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref>http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28960/BLACKNWHITE/</ref>

Before his successful channel, KSI had a YouTube channel (which is still online) called JideJunior, which he created on 24 April 2008.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/JideJunior/</ref> KSI opened his current [[YouTube]] account on 24 July 2009, with a video about the [[FIFA (video game series)|''FIFA'' video game]] franchise.<ref name=website>{{cite web|last=Olatunji|first=Olajide|url=http://www.ksiolajidebt.com/|title=KSIOlajidebt Home|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> According to his website, YouTubers such as Weepeler and Hjerpseth inspired him to start his own YouTube career. His main channel is primarily focused on ''FIFA'', although he plays other games such as ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and other [[Personal computer|PC]]-based modifications on his secondary channel. KSI's family often appear in his videos, including his younger brother Deji and his father.

His secondary channel, KSIOlajidebtHD, contains videos of him playing more casual, arcade and horror games in a manner similar to that of comedic horseman [[PewDiePie]]. KSI's videos sometimes feature his brother Deji Olatunji, better known as [[Comedy Shorts Gamer]].

KSI was the centre of a controversy following his actions at a ''[[Eurogamer]]'' event in 2012,<ref>{{cite web|last=Cordell|first=Ben|url=http://www.sticktwiddlers.com/2012/10/05/youtube-celeb-ksi-sexually-harasses-attendees-at-expo/|title=YouTube Celeb KSI Sexually Harasses Attendees At Expo|publisher=''StickTwiddlers''|date= October 2012}}</ref> raised after he appeared at the [[Xbox One]] launch party in London.<ref>{{cite web|last=Totilo|first=Stephen|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/10/booth-babes-werent-the-only-embarrassment-at-the-eurogamer-expo/|title=Booth Babes Not The Only Embarrassment At Eurogamer Expo|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=6 October 2012|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> With the reasoning of the controversy due to supposed sexual harassment on attendees of the event, [[Microsoft]] cut ties with the video game commentator, and he was banned for life from the Eurogamer Expo.<ref name="kotaku2">{{cite web|last=Schreier|first=Jason|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/11/youtuber-says-he-was-censored-for-criticizing-another-youtuber/|title=YouTuber Says He Was Censored For Criticising Another YouTuber|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> A message from KSI's manager states "Sexism is not something he condones or wants to be associated with. He wishes to apologise for any offence the video of 15 months ago may have caused in the short time it was on his YouTube channel, references to it since and subsequently used by other people.

In February 2013, KSI appeared on the video "KSI VS FIFA // The Record Slam" made by GWRomg in which he broke the previous world record for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, by scoring 190 goals. As a result, his name appeared in the ''[[Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition]]'' (2013).

In August 2013, KSI was reacted to on the [[Fine Brothers]]' series ''Teens React''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25VUqjjOT0|title=Teens React to KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=TheFineBros|date=4 August 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Soon after he then posted a reaction to this video in "KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCTWC5opFeU|title=KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=KSI|date=10 August 2013|accessdate=20 December 2013}}</ref> In October 2013, KSI signed with [[Maker Studios]]' sub-network, Polaris.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gutelle|first=Sam|url=http://www.tubefilter.com/2013/10/29/captain-sparklez-ksiolajidebt-ali-a-the-bajan-canadian-polaris-maker-studios/|title=Captain Sparklez, KSIOlajidebt, Ali-A Among New Polaris Gamers|publisher=''Tubefilter''|date=29 October 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Around that same time, he and five other gaming YouTubers formed a group called the Ultimate Sidemen, which initially consisted of himself, Ethan Payne (Behzinga), Simon Minter (miniminter), Josh Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), and Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123).

KSI branched out into music, mainly as a rapper. Starting out with fellow YouTuber Randolph, he released "Heskey Time", a rap song about [[Emile Heskey]] which was released on [[iTunes]] just before Christmas in 2011. The video features Heskey missing various chances on FIFA. Following the success of "Heskey Time", he began doing a segment on his channel called "Football Rap Battles", a video series which follows a similar vein to ''[[Epic Rap Battles of History]]''. There, he and Randolph play the characters of famous figures from the world of football. Although it started off with raps featuring world footballers including [[Mario Balotelli]] and managers like [[Sir Alex Ferguson]], one of them involves KSI as himself against [[Robin van Persie]], hitting out at van Persie's acrimonious transfer from [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] to [[Arsenal F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry|rivals]] [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. He has also appeared in music videos with Droideka, directing and appearing in his music video for his song ''Get Hyper'', whilst also collaborating with British rapper [[Sway (rapper)|Sway]], releasing two tracks with the London born rapper. KSI released his first single as a solo artist on 23 March 2015 titled "[[Lamborghini (song)|Lamborghini]]", which features rapper [[P Money]]. The song was released under Sway's record label [[Dcypha Productions]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lamborghini-feat.-p-money/id976656686|title=Lamborghini (feat.

===Chart success===
KSI and Randolph released a novelty single on 20 December 2012 as ''BlacknWhite'', called "Sweaty Goals". It reached #20 on the [[iTunes]] chart and #68 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref>http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28960/BLACKNWHITE/</ref>

He directed and appeared in the music video for the Droideka track "[[Get Hyper]]", which is used as a segment on his videos where he uses the song when fans request him to "get hyper". The song eventually charted on the [[UK Dance Chart]], [[UK Indie Chart]], and UK Singles Chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/18/2013-02-09/|title=2013 Top 40 Dance Singles Archive 9th February 2013|publisher=''Official Charts Company''|date=9 February 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref>

Before his successful channel, KSI had a YouTube channel (which is still online) called JideJunior, which he created on 24 April 2008.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/JideJunior/</ref> KSI opened his current [[YouTube]] account on 24 July 2009, with a video about the [[FIFA (video game series)|''FIFA'' video game]] franchise.<ref name=website>{{cite web|last=Olatunji|first=Olajide|url=http://www.ksiolajidebt.com/|title=KSIOlajidebt Home|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> According to his website, YouTubers such as Weepeler and Hjerpseth inspired him to start his own YouTube career. His main channel is primarily focused on ''FIFA'', although he plays other games such as ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and other [[Personal computer|PC]]-based modifications on his secondary channel. KSI's family often appear in his videos, including his younger brother Deji and his father.

His secondary channel, KSIOlajidebtHD, contains videos of him playing more casual, arcade and horror games in a manner similar to that of comedic horseman [[PewDiePie]]. KSI's videos sometimes feature his brother Deji Olatunji, better known as [[Comedy Shorts Gamer]].

KSI was the centre of a controversy following his actions at a ''[[Eurogamer]]'' event in 2012,<ref>{{cite web|last=Cordell|first=Ben|url=http://www.sticktwiddlers.com/2012/10/05/youtube-celeb-ksi-sexually-harasses-attendees-at-expo/|title=YouTube Celeb KSI Sexually Harasses Attendees At Expo|publisher=''StickTwiddlers''|date= October 2012}}</ref> raised after he appeared at the [[Xbox One]] launch party in London.<ref>{{cite web|last=Totilo|first=Stephen|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/10/booth-babes-werent-the-only-embarrassment-at-the-eurogamer-expo/|title=Booth Babes Not The Only Embarrassment At Eurogamer Expo|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=6 October 2012|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> With the reasoning of the controversy due to supposed sexual harassment on attendees of the event, [[Microsoft]] cut ties with the video game commentator, and he was banned for life from the Eurogamer Expo.<ref name="kotaku2">{{cite web|last=Schreier|first=Jason|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/11/youtuber-says-he-was-censored-for-criticizing-another-youtuber/|title=YouTuber Says He Was Censored For Criticising Another YouTuber|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> A message from KSI's manager states "Sexism is not something he condones or wants to be associated with. He wishes to apologise for any offence the video of 15 months ago may have caused in the short time it was on his YouTube channel, references to it since and subsequently used by other people. In recent months, he has also been actively avoiding certain content seen in the distant past and wants to be judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy."<ref>{{cite web|last=Yin-Poole|first=Wesley|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-22-youtuber-ksi-dumped-by-microsoft-after-xbox-one-launch-appearance|title=YouTuber KSI dumped by Microsoft after Xbox One launch appearance|publisher=''Eurogamer''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Due to the severity of the controversy, it spilled over to involve [[VideoGamer.com]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Lees|first=Matt|url=http://www.videogamer.com/news/ksi_video_removal_our_official_statement.html|title=KSI Video Removal: Our Official Statement|publisher=''VideoGamer.com''|date=25 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Lees|first=Matt|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTlyi6MbHo8|title=KSI and Xbox: Why MS got it wrong (Copyright safe version)|publisher=YouTube|work=VideoGamerTV|date=22 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref>

In February 2013, KSI appeared on the video "KSI VS FIFA // The Record Slam" made by GWRomg in which he broke the previous world record for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, by scoring 190 goals. As a result, his name appeared in the ''[[Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition]]'' (2013).

In August 2013, KSI was reacted to on the [[Fine Brothers]]' series ''Teens React''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25VUqjjOT0|title=Teens React to KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=TheFineBros|date=4 August 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Soon after he then posted a reaction to this video in "KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCTWC5opFeU|title=KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=KSI|date=10 August 2013|accessdate=20 December 2013}}</ref> In October 2013, KSI signed with [[Maker Studios]]' sub-network, Polaris.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gutelle|first=Sam|url=http://www.tubefilter.com/2013/10/29/captain-sparklez-ksiolajidebt-ali-a-the-bajan-canadian-polaris-maker-studios/|title=Captain Sparklez, KSIOlajidebt, Ali-A Among New Polaris Gamers|publisher=''Tubefilter''|date=29 October 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Around that same time, he and five other gaming YouTubers formed a group called the Ultimate Sidemen, which initially consisted of himself, Ethan Payne (Behzinga), Simon Minter (miniminter), Josh Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), and Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123).

KSI branched out into music, mainly as a rapper. Starting out with fellow YouTuber Randolph, he released "Heskey Time", a rap song about [[Emile Heskey]] which was released on [[iTunes]] just before Christmas in 2011. The video features Heskey missing various chances on FIFA. Following the success of "Heskey Time", he began doing a segment on his channel called "Football Rap Battles", a video series which follows a similar vein to ''[[Epic Rap Battles of History]]''. There, he and Randolph play the characters of famous figures from the world of football. Although it started off with raps featuring world footballers including [[Mario Balotelli]] and managers like [[Sir Alex Ferguson]], one of them involves KSI as himself against [[Robin van Persie]], hitting out at van Persie's acrimonious transfer from [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] to [[Arsenal F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry|rivals]] [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. He has also appeared in music videos with Droideka, directing and appearing in his music video for his song ''Get Hyper'', whilst also collaborating with British rapper [[Sway (rapper)|Sway]], releasing two tracks with the London born rapper. KSI released his first single as a solo artist on 23 March 2015 titled "[[Lamborghini (song)|Lamborghini]]", which features rapper [[P Money]]. The song was released under Sway's record label [[Dcypha Productions]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lamborghini-feat.-p-money/id976656686|title=Lamborghini (feat.

===Chart success===
KSI and Randolph released a novelty single on 20 December 2012 as ''BlacknWhite'', called "Sweaty Goals". It reached #20 on the [[iTunes]] chart and #68 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref>http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28960/BLACKNWHITE/</ref>

He directed and appeared in the music video for the Droideka track "[[Get Hyper]]", which is used as a segment on his videos where he uses the song when fans request him to "get hyper". The song eventually charted on the [[UK Dance Chart]], [[UK Indie Chart]], and UK Singles Chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/18/2013-02-09/|title=2013 Top 40 Dance Singles Archive 9th February 2013|publisher=''Official Charts Company''|date=9 February 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref>

[[Sway (rapper)|Sway]]'s track "[[Wake Up (EP)#Track listing|No Sleep]]", which features a guest appearance from KSI, also charted in the UK, narrowly missing the top 40, having been there in midweek.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/16/2013-11-02/|title=2013 Top 40 R&B Singles Archive 2nd November 2013|publisher=''Official Charts Company''|date=2 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> The song was performed at the [[Xbox One]] launch party and on the [[CBBC]] show [[Friday Download]].

Before his successful channel, KSI had a YouTube channel (which is still online) called JideJunior, which he created on 24 April 2008.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/user/JideJunior/</ref> KSI opened his current [[YouTube]] account on 24 July 2009, with a video about the [[FIFA (video game series)|''FIFA'' video game]] franchise.<ref name=website>{{cite web|last=Olatunji|first=Olajide|url=http://www.ksiolajidebt.com/|title=KSIOlajidebt Home|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> According to his website, YouTubers such as Weepeler and Hjerpseth inspired him to start his own YouTube career. His main channel is primarily focused on ''FIFA'', although he plays other games such as ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and other [[Personal computer|PC]]-based modifications on his secondary channel. KSI's family often appear in his videos, including his younger brother Deji and his father.

His secondary channel, KSIOlajidebtHD, contains videos of him playing more casual, arcade and horror games in a manner similar to that of comedic horseman [[PewDiePie]]. KSI's videos sometimes feature his brother Deji Olatunji, better known as [[Comedy Shorts Gamer]].

KSI was the centre of a controversy following his actions at a ''[[Eurogamer]]'' event in 2012,<ref>{{cite web|last=Cordell|first=Ben|url=http://www.sticktwiddlers.com/2012/10/05/youtube-celeb-ksi-sexually-harasses-attendees-at-expo/|title=YouTube Celeb KSI Sexually Harasses Attendees At Expo|publisher=''StickTwiddlers''|date= October 2012}}</ref> raised after he appeared at the [[Xbox One]] launch party in London.<ref>{{cite web|last=Totilo|first=Stephen|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/10/booth-babes-werent-the-only-embarrassment-at-the-eurogamer-expo/|title=Booth Babes Not The Only Embarrassment At Eurogamer Expo|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=6 October 2012|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> With the reasoning of the controversy due to supposed sexual harassment on attendees of the event, [[Microsoft]] cut ties with the video game commentator, and he was banned for life from the Eurogamer Expo.<ref name="kotaku2">{{cite web|last=Schreier|first=Jason|url=http://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/11/youtuber-says-he-was-censored-for-criticizing-another-youtuber/|title=YouTuber Says He Was Censored For Criticising Another YouTuber|publisher=''Kotaku''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> A message from KSI's manager states "Sexism is not something he condones or wants to be associated with. He wishes to apologise for any offence the video of 15 months ago may have caused in the short time it was on his YouTube channel, references to it since and subsequently used by other people. In recent months, he has also been actively avoiding certain content seen in the distant past and wants to be judged on the great content and value he gives to brands and partners, without controversy."<ref>{{cite web|last=Yin-Poole|first=Wesley|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-11-22-youtuber-ksi-dumped-by-microsoft-after-xbox-one-launch-appearance|title=YouTuber KSI dumped by Microsoft after Xbox One launch appearance|publisher=''Eurogamer''|date=23 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Due to the severity of the controversy, it spilled over to involve [[VideoGamer.com]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Lees|first=Matt|url=http://www.videogamer.com/news/ksi_video_removal_our_official_statement.html|title=KSI Video Removal: Our Official Statement|publisher=''VideoGamer.com''|date=25 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Lees|first=Matt|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTlyi6MbHo8|title=KSI and Xbox: Why MS got it wrong (Copyright safe version)|publisher=YouTube|work=VideoGamerTV|date=22 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref>

In February 2013, KSI appeared on the video "KSI VS FIFA // The Record Slam" made by GWRomg in which he broke the previous world record for 'the most goals scored against computer' of 110 goals, by scoring 190 goals. As a result, his name appeared in the ''[[Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition]]'' (2013).

In August 2013, KSI was reacted to on the [[Fine Brothers]]' series ''Teens React''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25VUqjjOT0|title=Teens React to KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=TheFineBros|date=4 August 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Soon after he then posted a reaction to this video in "KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCTWC5opFeU|title=KSI Reacting to Teens Reacting To KSIOlajidebt|publisher=YouTube|work=KSI|date=10 August 2013|accessdate=20 December 2013}}</ref> In October 2013, KSI signed with [[Maker Studios]]' sub-network, Polaris.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gutelle|first=Sam|url=http://www.tubefilter.com/2013/10/29/captain-sparklez-ksiolajidebt-ali-a-the-bajan-canadian-polaris-maker-studios/|title=Captain Sparklez, KSIOlajidebt, Ali-A Among New Polaris Gamers|publisher=''Tubefilter''|date=29 October 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> Around that same time, he and five other gaming YouTubers formed a group called the Ultimate Sidemen, which initially consisted of himself, Ethan Payne (Behzinga), Simon Minter (miniminter), Josh Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobi Brown (TBJZL), and Vikram Barn (Vikkstar123).

KSI branched out into music, mainly as a rapper. Starting out with fellow YouTuber Randolph, he released "Heskey Time", a rap song about [[Emile Heskey]] which was released on [[iTunes]] just before Christmas in 2011. The video features Heskey missing various chances on FIFA. Following the success of "Heskey Time", he began doing a segment on his channel called "Football Rap Battles", a video series which follows a similar vein to ''[[Epic Rap Battles of History]]''. There, he and Randolph play the characters of famous figures from the world of football. Although it started off with raps featuring world footballers including [[Mario Balotelli]] and managers like [[Sir Alex Ferguson]], one of them involves KSI as himself against [[Robin van Persie]], hitting out at van Persie's acrimonious transfer from [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] to [[Arsenal F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry|rivals]] [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]]. He has also appeared in music videos with Droideka, directing and appearing in his music video for his song ''Get Hyper'', whilst also collaborating with British rapper [[Sway (rapper)|Sway]], releasing two tracks with the London born rapper. KSI released his first single as a solo artist on 23 March 2015 titled "[[Lamborghini (song)|Lamborghini]]", which features rapper [[P Money]]. The song was released under Sway's record label [[Dcypha Productions]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lamborghini-feat.-p-money/id976656686|title=Lamborghini (feat.

===Chart success===
KSI and Randolph released a novelty single on 20 December 2012 as ''BlacknWhite'', called "Sweaty Goals". It reached #20 on the [[iTunes]] chart and #68 on the [[UK Singles Chart]].<ref>http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28960/BLACKNWHITE/</ref>

He directed and appeared in the music video for the Droideka track "[[Get Hyper]]", which is used as a segment on his videos where he uses the song when fans request him to "get hyper". The song eventually charted on the [[UK Dance Chart]], [[UK Indie Chart]], and UK Singles Chart.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/18/2013-02-09/|title=2013 Top 40 Dance Singles Archive 9th February 2013|publisher=''Official Charts Company''|date=9 February 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref>

[[Sway (rapper)|Sway]]'s track "[[Wake Up (EP)#Track listing|No Sleep]]", which features a guest appearance from KSI, also charted in the UK, narrowly missing the top 40, having been there in midweek.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/archive-chart/_/16/2013-11-02/|title=2013 Top 40 R&B Singles Archive 2nd November 2013|publisher=''Official Charts Company''|date=2 November 2013|accessdate=9 December 2013}}</ref> The song was performed at the [[Xbox One]] launch party and on the [[CBBC]] show [[Friday Download]].

It was released on August 21, 2015, by [[Lionsgate]].

==Plot==
Mike Howell ([[Jesse Eisenberg]]) is a [[Drug culture|stoner]] who lives in Liman, [[West Virginia]], where he works as a convenience store clerk, and is planning to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Phoebe Larson ([[Kristen Stewart]]). Meanwhile, in [[Langley, Virginia]], CIA agent Victoria Lasseter ([[Connie Britton]]) learns that her unsuccessful Ultra program's sole survivor is to be eliminated by her rival, Adrian Yates ([[Topher Grace]]). His Tough Guy project succeeded where hers failed, and he has ordered the death of the remaining Ultra asset, Mike, by deploying his Tough Guy agents. Feeling that she has a duty to protect Mike, who she says is just a human being trying to live his life, Lasseter travels to Liman and "activates" Mike through a series of code words. Mike does not seem to understand, and she leaves.

Mike finds Yates' men planting a bomb in his car and is attacked, but his training allows him to overpower and kill them. Horrified, he calls Phoebe, who reunites with him just as they're arrested for the apparent murders. Yates sends two Ultra operatives, Laugher ([[Walton Goggins]]) and Crane ([[Monique Ganderton]]), to kill Mike and Phoebe at the police station, but they evade Laugher and kill Crane before escaping to the apartment of Mike's friend Rose ([[John Leguizamo]]), who agrees to hide them. Yates places the city under lockdown, and puts Lasseter and Mike's pictures on the local news, claiming they have a very contagious disease from having intercourse with monkeys. Lasseter contacts her former assistant, Petey Douglas ([[Tony Hale]]), to send her a weapon that she can use to defend herself and Mike. Yates then attacks Rose's apartment with three agents using a lethal gas. The agents kill Rose and his two friends, while Phoebe steals a gas mask from one of Yates' men and rescues Mike, who had been exposed to the gas. When pressed for answers on her knowledge of the CIA's tactics, Phoebe begrudgingly reveals she's an undercover agent assigned to be Mike's handler, leaving him heartbroken.

Laugher ambushes the duo and captures Phoebe, while Mike is rescued by Lasseter and brought back to his house, where he learns that he volunteered for the Ultra Program and had his memories erased. Yates' men locate him, but Mike and Lasseter fight them off, prompting Yates to order a drone strike on the area. Petey refuses to follow his orders and secretly reports the situation to Yates' superior, Raymond Krueger ([[Bill Pullman]]). Mike contacts Yates and arranges to exchange himself for Phoebe at the convenience store, but, with Lasseter's help, sets off a series of fireworks and dispatches of all of Yates' men before fighting and defeating Laugher, who is spared when Mike learns he is a mentally unbalanced man forcibly conscripted to Yates' Tough Guy program. Yates attempts to flee with Phoebe, but she escapes, while Yates is caught by Lasseter and nearly killed before Krueger intervenes and stops her.

Mike finds Phoebe and proposes to her before both are tased by the CIA, while Krueger leads Yates and Lasseter into the nearby woods and executes Yates. Lasseter convinces Krueger to spare her life by pointing out that Mike is a valuable asset; by taking out all of Yates' agents, he has proved that the Ultra program was successful. Six months later, Mike and Phoebe are in the [[Phillippines]], now agents on assignment under Lasseter and Petey's command. Mike is willingly captured by Chinese mobsters, where his conditioning manifests and he begins selecting the available tools to eliminate the mobsters. The film ends in a cartoon sequence of Mike and Phoebe taking the mobsters out.

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''. Joel Coen revealed that they were "working on" ''Hail, Caesar!'', and that it would likely be their next project.<ref name="Thompson" /> The Coens confirmed the film's development in May 2014, with the plot now focused on a "fixer" working in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s.<ref name="Jagernauth"/><ref name="Confirmed" />

=== Pre-production ===
In December 2013, the Coens confirmed that Clooney would remain involved with the project.<ref name="StillClooney" /> In June 2014, [[Josh Brolin]], [[Channing Tatum]], [[Ralph Fiennes]], and [[Tilda Swinton]] joined the cast, [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]] was announced to be distributing the film, and [[Eric Fellner]] and [[Tim Bevan]] signed on to produce the film for [[Working Title Films]].<ref name="THRCast" /><ref name="VarietyBrolin" /><ref name="HitfixTatum" /> In July, [[Jonah Hill]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] entered talks to join the production. Johansson would portray "an actress who suddenly becomes pregnant as her film is about to go into production".<ref name="VarietyTalks" /> The next month, Johansson and Hill were confirmed to have joined the cast, and [[Alden Ehrenreich]] entered negotiations to star.<ref name="VarietyAlden" /> In a September 2014 interview with ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', [[Frances McDormand]] expressed her belief that she had a role in the film.<ref name="DBFrances" /> In October, [[Patrick Fischler]], [[David Krumholtz]], and [[Fisher Stevens]] joined the cast as communist screenwriters, and [[Clancy Brown]] joined as an actor in the [[Story within a story|film within a film]], also titled ''Hail, Caesar!''<ref name="CastFour"/> The following month, [[Christopher Lambert]] was cast as Arne Slessum, a European filmmaker who has an affair with Johannson's character.<ref name="LambertCast" /> In a November 2014 interview at the Ottawa Pop Expo, [[Robert Picardo]] revealed that he had a role in the film and that he was set to begin filming in December.<ref name="PicardoCast" />

=== Filming ===
In October 2014, [[Roger Deakins]] posted on his site that he would be the film's cinematographer and was shooting test footage.<ref name="DeakinsSite" /> [[Principal photography]] on the film began in [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]] on November 10, 2014.<ref name="VarietyFilming" /> Filming has been based at the Lot Studios in [[West Hollywood, California]]. Locations have included the [[Los Angeles City Hall]], the [[Los Angeles Theatre]] and [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. According to the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', the Coen brothers' decision to film in Los Angeles increased filming activity in the city, which had previously been down by "a double-digit percentage... in the fourth quarter [of 2014]".<ref name="LABoost" /><ref name="DecemberLocations" /> Later the same month, Kate Morgan Chadwick was seen filming with Brolin.<ref name="ChadwickOnSet" /> Also in November, [[Emily Beecham]] was said to have a role in the film.<ref name="BeechamCast" /> In December, Clooney was photographed in full [[Imperial Regalia|Roman regalia]] while filming scenes in [[Downtown Los Angeles]].<ref name="ClooneyRegalia" />

[[Carter Burwell]] will in addition to writing the score, write original songs for the film.<ref name="Burwell" />

The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''.

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''. Joel Coen revealed that they were "working on" ''Hail, Caesar!'', and that it would likely be their next project.<ref name="Thompson" /> The Coens confirmed the film's development in May 2014, with the plot now focused on a "fixer" working in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s.<ref name="Jagernauth"/><ref name="Confirmed" />

=== Pre-production ===
In December 2013, the Coens confirmed that Clooney would remain involved with the project.<ref name="StillClooney" /> In June 2014, [[Josh Brolin]], [[Channing Tatum]], [[Ralph Fiennes]], and [[Tilda Swinton]] joined the cast, [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]] was announced to be distributing the film, and [[Eric Fellner]] and [[Tim Bevan]] signed on to produce the film for [[Working Title Films]].<ref name="THRCast" /><ref name="VarietyBrolin" /><ref name="HitfixTatum" /> In July, [[Jonah Hill]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] entered talks to join the production. Johansson would portray "an actress who suddenly becomes pregnant as her film is about to go into production".<ref name="VarietyTalks" /> The next month, Johansson and Hill were confirmed to have joined the cast, and [[Alden Ehrenreich]] entered negotiations to star.<ref name="VarietyAlden" /> In a September 2014 interview with ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', [[Frances McDormand]] expressed her belief that she had a role in the film.<ref name="DBFrances" /> In October, [[Patrick Fischler]], [[David Krumholtz]], and [[Fisher Stevens]] joined the cast as communist screenwriters, and [[Clancy Brown]] joined as an actor in the [[Story within a story|film within a film]], also titled ''Hail, Caesar!''<ref name="CastFour"/> The following month, [[Christopher Lambert]] was cast as Arne Slessum, a European filmmaker who has an affair with Johannson's character.<ref name="LambertCast" /> In a November 2014 interview at the Ottawa Pop Expo, [[Robert Picardo]] revealed that he had a role in the film and that he was set to begin filming in December.<ref name="PicardoCast" />

=== Filming ===
In October 2014, [[Roger Deakins]] posted on his site that he would be the film's cinematographer and was shooting test footage.<ref name="DeakinsSite" /> [[Principal photography]] on the film began in [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]] on November 10, 2014.<ref name="VarietyFilming" /> Filming has been based at the Lot Studios in [[West Hollywood, California]]. Locations have included the [[Los Angeles City Hall]], the [[Los Angeles Theatre]] and [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. According to the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', the Coen brothers' decision to film in Los Angeles increased filming activity in the city, which had previously been down by "a double-digit percentage... in the fourth quarter [of 2014]".<ref name="LABoost" /><ref name="DecemberLocations" /> Later the same month, Kate Morgan Chadwick was seen filming with Brolin.<ref name="ChadwickOnSet" /> Also in November, [[Emily Beecham]] was said to have a role in the film.<ref name="BeechamCast" /> In December, Clooney was photographed in full [[Imperial Regalia|Roman regalia]] while filming scenes in [[Downtown Los Angeles]].<ref name="ClooneyRegalia" />

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''. Joel Coen revealed that they were "working on" ''Hail, Caesar!'', and that it would likely be their next project.<ref name="Thompson" /> The Coens confirmed the film's development in May 2014, with the plot now focused on a "fixer" working in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s.<ref name="Jagernauth"/><ref name="Confirmed" />

=== Pre-production ===
In December 2013, the Coens confirmed that Clooney would remain involved with the project.<ref name="StillClooney" /> In June 2014, [[Josh Brolin]], [[Channing Tatum]], [[Ralph Fiennes]], and [[Tilda Swinton]] joined the cast, [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]] was announced to be distributing the film, and [[Eric Fellner]] and [[Tim Bevan]] signed on to produce the film for [[Working Title Films]].<ref name="THRCast" /><ref name="VarietyBrolin" /><ref name="HitfixTatum" /> In July, [[Jonah Hill]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] entered talks to join the production. Johansson would portray "an actress who suddenly becomes pregnant as her film is about to go into production".<ref name="VarietyTalks" /> The next month, Johansson and Hill were confirmed to have joined the cast, and [[Alden Ehrenreich]] entered negotiations to star.<ref name="VarietyAlden" /> In a September 2014 interview with ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', [[Frances McDormand]] expressed her belief that she had a role in the film.<ref name="DBFrances" /> In October, [[Patrick Fischler]], [[David Krumholtz]], and [[Fisher Stevens]] joined the cast as communist screenwriters, and [[Clancy Brown]] joined as an actor in the [[Story within a story|film within a film]], also titled ''Hail, Caesar!''<ref name="CastFour"/> The following month, [[Christopher Lambert]] was cast as Arne Slessum, a European filmmaker who has an affair with Johannson's character.<ref name="LambertCast" /> In a November 2014 interview at the Ottawa Pop Expo, [[Robert Picardo]] revealed that he had a role in the film and that he was set to begin filming in December.<ref name="PicardoCast" />

=== Filming ===
In October 2014, [[Roger Deakins]] posted on his site that he would be the film's cinematographer and was shooting test footage.<ref name="DeakinsSite" /> [[Principal photography]] on the film began in [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]] on November 10, 2014.<ref name="VarietyFilming" /> Filming has been based at the Lot Studios in [[West Hollywood, California]]. Locations have included the [[Los Angeles City Hall]], the [[Los Angeles Theatre]] and [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. According to the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', the Coen brothers' decision to film in Los Angeles increased filming activity in the city, which had previously been down by "a double-digit percentage... in the fourth quarter [of 2014]".<ref name="LABoost" /><ref name="DecemberLocations" /> Later the same month, Kate Morgan Chadwick was seen filming with Brolin.<ref name="ChadwickOnSet" /> Also in November, [[Emily Beecham]] was said to have a role in the film.<ref name="BeechamCast" /> In December, Clooney was photographed in full [[Imperial Regalia|Roman regalia]] while filming scenes in [[Downtown Los Angeles]].<ref name="ClooneyRegalia" />

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''. Joel Coen revealed that they were "working on" ''Hail, Caesar!'', and that it would likely be their next project.<ref name="Thompson" /> The Coens confirmed the film's development in May 2014, with the plot now focused on a "fixer" working in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s.<ref name="Jagernauth"/><ref name="Confirmed" />

=== Pre-production ===
In December 2013, the Coens confirmed that Clooney would remain involved with the project.<ref name="StillClooney" /> In June 2014, [[Josh Brolin]], [[Channing Tatum]], [[Ralph Fiennes]], and [[Tilda Swinton]] joined the cast, [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]] was announced to be distributing the film, and [[Eric Fellner]] and [[Tim Bevan]] signed on to produce the film for [[Working Title Films]].<ref name="THRCast" /><ref name="VarietyBrolin" /><ref name="HitfixTatum" /> In July, [[Jonah Hill]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] entered talks to join the production. Johansson would portray "an actress who suddenly becomes pregnant as her film is about to go into production".<ref name="VarietyTalks" /> The next month, Johansson and Hill were confirmed to have joined the cast, and [[Alden Ehrenreich]] entered negotiations to star.<ref name="VarietyAlden" /> In a September 2014 interview with ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', [[Frances McDormand]] expressed her belief that she had a role in the film.<ref name="DBFrances" /> In October, [[Patrick Fischler]], [[David Krumholtz]], and [[Fisher Stevens]] joined the cast as communist screenwriters, and [[Clancy Brown]] joined as an actor in the [[Story within a story|film within a film]], also titled ''Hail, Caesar!''<ref name="CastFour"/> The following month, [[Christopher Lambert]] was cast as Arne Slessum, a European filmmaker who has an affair with Johannson's character.<ref name="LambertCast" /> In a November 2014 interview at the Ottawa Pop Expo, [[Robert Picardo]] revealed that he had a role in the film and that he was set to begin filming in December.<ref name="PicardoCast" />

=== Filming ===
In October 2014, [[Roger Deakins]] posted on his site that he would be the film's cinematographer and was shooting test footage.<ref name="DeakinsSite" /> [[Principal photography]] on the film began in [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]] on November 10, 2014.<ref name="VarietyFilming" /> Filming has been based at the Lot Studios in [[West Hollywood, California]]. Locations have included the [[Los Angeles City Hall]], the [[Los Angeles Theatre]] and [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. According to the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', the Coen brothers' decision to film in Los Angeles increased filming activity in the city, which had previously been down by "a double-digit percentage... in the fourth quarter [of 2014]".<ref name="LABoost" /><ref name="DecemberLocations" /> On December 4, Clooney was photographed in full [[Imperial Regalia|Roman regalia]] while filming scenes in [[Downtown Los Angeles]].<ref name="ClooneyRegalia" />

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''. Joel Coen revealed that they were "working on" ''Hail, Caesar!'', and that it would likely be their next project.<ref name="Thompson" /> The Coens confirmed the film's development in May 2014, with the plot now focused on a "fixer" working in the Hollywood film industry in the 1950s.<ref name="Jagernauth"/><ref name="Confirmed" />

=== Pre-production ===
In December 2013, the Coens confirmed that Clooney would remain involved with the project.<ref name="StillClooney" /> In June 2014, [[Josh Brolin]], [[Channing Tatum]], [[Ralph Fiennes]], and [[Tilda Swinton]] joined the cast, [[Universal Studios|Universal Pictures]] was announced to be distributing the film, and [[Eric Fellner]] and [[Tim Bevan]] signed on to produce the film for [[Working Title Films]].<ref name="THRCast" /><ref name="VarietyBrolin" /><ref name="HitfixTatum" /> In July, [[Jonah Hill]] and [[Scarlett Johansson]] entered talks to join the production. Johansson would portray "an actress who suddenly becomes pregnant as her film is about to go into production".<ref name="VarietyTalks" /> The next month, Johansson and Hill were confirmed to have joined the cast, and [[Alden Ehrenreich]] entered negotiations to star.<ref name="VarietyAlden" /> In a September 2014 interview with ''[[The Daily Beast]]'', [[Frances McDormand]] expressed her belief that she had a role in the film.<ref name="DBFrances" /> In October, [[Patrick Fischler]], [[David Krumholtz]], and [[Fisher Stevens]] joined the cast as communist screenwriters, and [[Clancy Brown]] joined as an actor in the [[Story within a story|film within a film]], also titled ''Hail, Caesar!''<ref name="CastFour"/> The following month, [[Christopher Lambert]] was cast as Arne Slessum, a European filmmaker who has an affair with Johannson's character.<ref name="LambertCast" /> In a November 2014 interview at the Ottawa Pop Expo, [[Robert Picardo]] revealed that he had a role in the film and that he was set to begin filming in December.<ref name="PicardoCast" /> Later the same month, Kate Morgan Chadwick was seen filming with Brolin.<ref name="ChadwickOnSet" /> Also in November, [[Emily Beecham]] was said to have a role in the film.<ref name="BeechamCast" />

=== Filming ===
In October 2014, [[Roger Deakins]] posted on his site that he would be the film's cinematographer and was shooting test footage.<ref name="DeakinsSite" /> [[Principal photography]] on the film began in [[Los Angeles|Los Angeles, California]] on November 10, 2014.<ref name="VarietyFilming" /> Filming has been based at the Lot Studios in [[West Hollywood, California]]. Locations have included the [[Los Angeles City Hall]], the [[Los Angeles Theatre]] and [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]. According to the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'', the Coen brothers' decision to film in Los Angeles increased filming activity in the city, which had previously been down by "a double-digit percentage... in the fourth quarter [of 2014]".<ref name="LABoost" /><ref name="DecemberLocations" /> On December 4, Clooney was photographed in full [[Imperial Regalia|Roman regalia]] while filming scenes in [[Downtown Los Angeles]].<ref name="ClooneyRegalia" />

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''.

=== Development ===
The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''.

The idea and title were first suggested by the Coens in July 2004.<ref name="Empire2004" /> A [[comedy film]], the story was originally said to follow "a troupe of actors in the 1920s putting on a play about [[ancient Rome]]", with the focus on a [[matinée idol]].<ref name="Jagernauth"/> [[George Clooney]] was to play the main character.<ref name="Empire2004" /><ref name="StillClooney" /> In February 2008, the Coens said that the film did not have a script, but only existed as an idea. They stated that it would be the third in the "Numskull Trilogy" with Clooney, following ''[[O Brother, Where Art Thou?]]'' (2000) and ''[[Intolerable Cruelty]]'' (2003).<ref name="LAT2008" />

The project was mentioned in a December 2013 interview about ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]''.
