To commemorate the centennial of Britain’s involvement in the First World War, ceramic artist Paul Cummins and stage designer Tom Piper conceived of a staggering installation of ceramic poppies planted in the famous dry moat around the Tower of London. Titled “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red,” the final work will consist of 888,246 red ceramic flowers—each representing a British or Colonial military fatality—that flow through grounds around the tower.

September 12, 2012 “Resident Evil: Retribution” had its Los Angeles premiere at the Regal Cinemas L.A. Live in Los Angeles, Calif. The film was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory and Michelle Rodriguez.
