Films by Charlie Chaplin, Cecil B. DeMille, and Buster Keaton are among the “hundreds of thousands” of books, musical scores, and motion pictures that will enter the public domain on January 1, according to The Atlantic. All of the works were first made available to audiences in 1923, four years before the introduction of talkies. Due to changed copyright laws, this will be the largest collection of material to lose its copyright protections since 1998.
Artists looking to incorporate black-and-white era throwbacks into their modern creations will have lots of new options. The Atlantic consulted unpublished research from Duke University School of Law’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain, which shared with IndieWire a list of 35 films that will soon become available to all.
“Our list is therefore only a partial one; many more works are entering the public domain as well, but the relevant information to confirm this may...

This week Discovery’s brutal reality survival show The Wheel turns for the last time as the day 60 mark looms for the remaining competitors. Luke Soderling can expect plenty of rain as he heads to the island where the constant downpours have previously demoralised and stressed out those trying to survive on it. His weight loss over the course of the show has been pretty shocking as he has struggled to find enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. Meantime, an injured and starving Adam Kimble can expect little comfort as he faces the frigid cold of the mountains. Adam...read more...

The horrific reality of starvation starts to set in for contestant Lindsay Phenix on The Wheel this week — as she breaks down after running out of food. Just three contestants are left on Discovery’s survival show going into the episode, Lindsay, Luke Soderling and Adam Kimble. Fish becomes the focus for all three contestants, with Luke trying to land the first one from the tundra, while Adam’s net unravels in the Bush Plains. But Lindsay has had repeated failures with catching fish, and when she uses up the last of her rations things come to a head. Having lost...read more...

Luke Soderling came to Discovery’s The Wheel as a plumber, Firearms Instructor and perhaps most importantly to him as a role model for his sons. The 35-year-old is a native of Minnesota’s Iron Range and has always been into hiking, hunting and outdoors adventures. He’s very comfortable in colder climes and has even used dog sleds in the past for sport. He also claims to be a great hunter and can hit a target at 1,000 yards with some firearms. Soderling has already overcome a greater challenge than many people ever face, in the form of stage 3 thyroid cancer that he battled in 2013. At the...read more...

Lindsay Phenix was one of just two women in the starting line-up of Discovery’s gruelling survivalist show The Wheel — and has held her own against the men as the series progresses. But who is Lindsay — and where did she get that inherent toughness? Lindsay, 25, is a fitness model, professional stunt woman and massage therapist, but grew up in a military family so is no stranger to knowing what it’s like to be out of your comfort zone. She credits her grandfather as her main inspiration when it comes to resilience, after he taught her to never give up. However,...read more...

Discovery’s The Wheel is a new spin on survivalist shows. The series challenges six participants to survive in six inhospitable terrains across South America over the course of sixty days. Adam Kimble was one of those starting six. But who is the 6ft 3in bearded 29-year-old when he’s at home? Adam is from Minooka, Illinois, but currently lives in Tahoe Vista, California, with his high-school sweetheart-turned wife and their three-year-old chocolate lab, Sofi. He is an experienced “ultramarathoner” and has finished in the top three of three prestigious ultramarathons — including winning the Gobi March 250km (155mile) race in 2015, which takes place...read more...

Starvation has always been a staple of survival reality shows.
Adventurers struggle to feed themselves in the wilderness, often subsisting on whatever they can scavenge from the environment. (Remember back in 2000, when the starving Survivor contestants resorted to eating rats? It was water cooler talk for days. Those were simpler times.)
Despite the reality TV craze, It’s hard to remember anyone who has starved as much as the participants on The Wheel, the Discovery Channel’s newest survival show.
Unlike other shows that drop participants off in one location, the adventurers on The Wheel are periodically plucked from one...

The Hunger Games has nothing on Discovery’s new adventure series, The Wheel!
Contestants on the new ultimate survival challenge have to survive not one, but six lethal environments over the course of 60 days ( that’s if they make it that long). The six participants have to endure six distinctly grueling landscapes across South America, but with every turn of the wheel, each survivalist is then dropped into a new isolated location, where they are exposed to the world’s deadliest terrains including freezing tundra, rugged mountains and treacherous rainforest.
Speaking with People, contestant Lindsay Phenix opens up about her...
