A 1981 hit, Martin Scorsese in full business, a departing singer, an English patient, a slumber party and country music

39 years after its release, a song we all know is becoming a global hit again. 

This is the track "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. A song that is currently second on Top Itunes and has been one of the most listened to titles in the world in recent days. Why ? A few days ago, teenagers, twins and YouTubers, Tim and Fred Williams, filmed themselves as they listened to Phil Collins' track for the first time. They posted the video on YouTube and their reaction is just hilarious. The drum solo projects them back onto their chairs, their hyper-expressive faces go through all stages. We feel them invaded and at the same time stunned by the music. It's super funny. It lasts 7'50 in all, Damien Cabrespines really advises you to watch the video on the internet. Above all, it has become a global buzz. The sequence shot on all social networks this weekend. Today, the video has more than 4.7 million views. And result: 1100% more listenings for "in The Air Tonight" on streaming platforms compared to last week. Phil Collins can thank the two young Americans.

On the business side, Martin Scorsese has just signed a contract.

A contract with the Apple brand and in particular its Apple TV video platform. After making the film "The Irishman" for Netflix, Scorsese therefore seems to be a fan of streaming. With this contract, the filmmaker undertakes to make films, documentaries and TV series which will be broadcast on Apple TV in SVOD. The partnership is expected to last for several years and a Scorsese feature film has already been announced. It is about "Killers of The Flower Moon", a detective film in America of the 20s. The cast includes two regulars of Scorsesian cinema: Robert de Niro and Leonardo Di Caprio. Apple invested $ 200 million in this film. "Killers of The Flower Moon" will also be released theatrically by the Paramount studio.

In London, actor Ralph Fiennes embarks on a totally topical monologue.

Ralph Fiennes, we know him for his roles in "Schindler's List", in the "Harry Potter" and "James Bond" sagas and for his masterful performance in "The English Patient" alongside Juliette Binoche. And this fall, the actor will once again play a sick person, but this time on stage, at the Bridget Theater in London. A monologue written by David Hare, one of the most popular English screenwriters in the world, who was touched in his flesh by the coronavirus. In this play, the writer recounts his experience with the disease. He also took the opportunity to very openly criticize the health policy of the Johnson government. The performances will take place from August 27 to October 31. And all this will be done in compliance with sanitary rules. 

In the United States, VHS fans are going to have a dream night.

Cinephiles of the 80s and 90s worshiped them without a name. These are the video clubs. In the United States, the benchmark in this area is the "Blockbuster" chain of stores. Its 9,000 brands spread across the United States have enabled an entire generation to come and rent and discover films that are sometimes not found elsewhere. But times have changed and the internet has revolutionized everything. And over the years, "Blockbuster" stores have lowered their curtains. There is only one left today, lost in the middle of Oregon. And this survivor, it will open its doors exceptionally for a few nights in September. Nostalgic patrons can have a slumber party by watching all the tapes they want for the modest sum of four dollars per person. There will of course be a sofa bed, ottomans, pillows and even popcorn.
