In a World...
In a World... is a 2013 American comedy film written, directed and co-produced by Lake Bell.
The film stars Bell as Carol Solomon, a vocal coach intent on doing voice-over work for film trailers. The film co-stars Demetri Martin, Fred Melamed, Rob Corddry, Michaela Watkins, Ken Marino, Nick Offerman, and Tig Notaro.
The film was a financial success, grossing nearly $3 million on a budget of less than $1 million, and received positive reviews from critics.
Plot
Sam Sotto is a Hollywood actor who is known as "king of voice-overs". He has done the narration and voice-overs to many theatrical film trailers and films, as well as recently published an autobiography about his life and is about to receive a lifetime achievement award upon turning 60. His daughter, Carol Solomon, is a struggling vocal coach who has always been overshadowed by her father. Sam kicks Carol out of his house so that he can live with his much younger 30-year-old girlfriend Jamie (who is a year younger than Carol). Carol goes to live with her older sister Dani and her husband Moe in their small apartment.
In a World Like This Tour
The In a World Like This Tour (also known as the 20th Anniversary Tour) is the tenth concert tour by American boy band, the Backstreet Boys. Supporting their eighth studio album, In a World Like This, the tour consists of over 140 shows in Asia, North America and Europe. It is the band's first tour as a quintet in seven years, as band member Kevin Richardson rejoined in 2012. It has become one of the biggest tours in the group's tenure.
The tour was the 44th highest grossing worldwide tour in 2014 with total gross of $32.8 million and ticket sales of 607,407. This does not include the tour's 2013 and 2015 dates. The tour also broke record in China, when over 1,000 tickets were sold within one minute in Guangzhou on June 8, 2013.
Background
News of the tour was first released in January 2013, with stops planned for China (known as the 20th Anniversary Tour). Since the initial announcement, the band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and released the trailer for their upcoming documentary. In May 2013, band member Nick Carter called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to state the band were planning a North American tour, alongside their album release. The band officially announced the tour on Good Morning America. According to band member A. J. McLean, the concerts will have a theatrical feel, performed as a mini-movie. They will perform their notable songs and tracks from their new album. Fatima Robinson and Rich+Tone will serve as choreographers.
