The Ninth Gate is a 1999 mystery thriller film directed, produced, and co-written by Roman Polanski.
 An international co-production between the United States, Portugal, France, and Spain, the film is loosely based upon Arturo Pérez-Reverte's 1993 novel "The Club Dumas".
 The plot involves the search for a rare and ancient book that purportedly contains a magical secret for summoning the Devil.
 The premiere showing was at San Sebastián, Spain, on 25 August 1999, a month before the 47th San Sebastian International Film Festival.
 Though critically and commercially unsuccessful in North America, where reviewers compared it unfavorably with Polanski's celebrated supernatural film "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), "The Ninth Gate" earned a worldwide gross of $58.4 million against a $38 million budget.
The anime and manga series "Ikki Tousen" features a wide and diverse cast of characters created by Yuji Shiozaki.
 The characters as well as the characters' names are loosely based upon the characters from the Chinese novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
 For example, the character Hakufu Sonsaku is based on the historical figure Sun Ce (Sonsaku being the Japanese name for Sun Ce, Hakufu being the Japanese pronunciation for his courtesy name Bofu).
 The story's plot focuses on an all out war in the Kanto region of Japan, where seven rival schools fight each other for supremacy.
 The series revolves around Hakufu Sonsaku.
 Hakufu is a fighter who attends Nanyo Academy with her cousin Koukin Shuyu.
The Wanderers is a novel by Ingrid Rimland published in 1977 loosely based upon her own experiences from growing up in a Mennonite community in the Ukraine.
 Rimland wanted to write a novel about her people, and "The Wanderers" tells the story of the plight of Mennonite women caught in the social upheavals of revolution and war.
 The novel traces the decimation of a pacifist people during the Russian Revolution, anarchy, famine, the Stalinist purges, escape from the Ukraine, and eventual resettlement in the rain forests of Paraguay.
The Libya Herald (Arabic: ليبيا هيرلد‎ ‎ ) is an English-language newspaper based in Tripoli, Libya.
 It was launched on 17 February 2012, the first anniversary of the outbreak of the Libyan Civil War, and currently publishes news through its website, though plans are in place to launch a print edition in the near future.
 The Libya Herald was the initiative of Michel Cousins, a British journalist raised in Libya who has worked in the Arab world for much of his career.
 Cousins co-founded the paper together with Sami Zaptia, a Libyan journalist who worked for the state-owned "Tripoli Post" for ten years but resigned upon the outbreak of the Libyan Civil War, frustrated at the Gaddafi regime's strict censorship.
 Until January 2013, the paper's deputy editor was George Grant, a British journalist who also worked as Libya correspondent for "The Times" newspaper.
 Grant was subsequently forced to leave Libya following an abduction threat from suspected Islamists in Benghazi following an investigation he was conducting into a death list in the city.
Francis Claud Cockburn ( ; 12 April 1904 – 15 December 1981) was an Anglo-Scots journalist.
 His saying "believe nothing until it has been officially denied" is widely quoted in journalistic studies, although he did not claim credit for originating it.
 He was the second cousin, once removed, of novelists Alec Waugh and Evelyn Waugh.
 He lived at Brook Lodge, Youghal, County Cork, Ireland.
The Saint is the title of a mystery novel by Burl Barer published by Pocket Books in 1997.
 It was based upon the screenplay for the film "The Saint", which in turn was loosely based upon the character Simon Templar, created by Leslie Charteris.
 Val Kilmer portrayed Templar and is pictured on the book's front cover.
Shōgun is a 1975 novel by James Clavell.
 It is the first novel (by internal chronology) of the author's Asian Saga.
 A major best-seller, by 1990 the book had sold 15 million copies worldwide.
 Beginning in feudal Japan some months before the critical Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, "Shōgun" gives an account of the rise of the daimyō "Toranaga" (based upon the actual Tokugawa Ieyasu).
 Toranaga's rise to the shogunate is seen through the eyes of the English sailor John Blackthorne, called "Anjin" ("Pilot") by the Japanese, whose fictional heroics are loosely based on the historical exploits of William Adams.
Turn the Beat Around is an MTV original film produced by MTV and Paramount Pictures.
 It is loosely based upon the 1983 film "Flashdance".
Beat the Devil is a 1953 adventure comedy film.
 The film was directed by John Huston, and starred Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones and Gina Lollobrigida, and featured Robert Morley, Peter Lorre and Bernard Lee.
 Huston and Truman Capote wrote the screenplay, loosely based upon a novel of the same name by British journalist Claud Cockburn, writing under the pseudonym James Helvick.
 Huston made the film as a parody of a genre of film.
 Although often described as a parody of "The Maltese Falcon", which Huston directed and in which Bogart and Lorre appeared, this is not the case.
 Capote said "John [Huston] and I decided to kid the story, to treat it as a parody.
 Instead of another "Maltese Falcon", we turned it into a ... [spoof] on this type of film."

 They are both working in a remote work camp where there is little to do in the evenings except tell stories.

 The rigger is Libertino Faussone and the chemist is clearly autobiographical.
