Nina Dobrev was hinting at a major project in partnership with Oceana recently via posts on her social media channels. It has now been confirmed that it is a documentary titled Our Planet: 360.
Nina was very upbeat about the quality of the documentary and her experience when filming it.

Nina has clearly been having fun filming the documentary; as she continues to share amazing underwater diving photographs, while also promoting a beach clean-up to help save the lives of species who live underwater from entanglement on fishing lines.

It has not been confirmed how long the documentary will be or if it will be a virtual reality experience as the 360 within the title potentially hints at, although there are details gradually filtering through every few days, so there may be more news soon.
Nina has recently spent two days with Oceana in a district of the Bahamas called Bimini to help protect sharks. Nina’s photo of herself underwater next to a shark with nearby plankton and corral along the seabed; looked as though Nina certainly enjoyed her underwater adventure and participating in the Oceana cause. It was alluded to that there would be at least one video by the mention of “Stay tuned for more sharky goodness” from Nina’s social media post.

Before Nina confirmed via an Instagram post referencing a location in Hawaii that there will be at least one video filmed; most probably as part of the #FinBanNow Oceana campaign and that filming is actually continuing,

Oceana is a good cause as their mission statement is as follows,
“Working hard to protect our oceans. Fighting against offshore oil and destructive fishing. Fighting for clean energy, sharks and turtles.”

The Return of Xander Cage director D.J. Caruso has confirmed there are firm plans for a sequel with Vin Diesel and the entire co-starring cast including Nina Dobrev returning. The teasing of a sequel began on June 10th 2017 with Ruby Rose posting a picture on Instagram in character as Adele Wolff from The Return of Xander Cage including a mention of “more new exciting news on that soon!”

D.J. Caruso even found the time to comment on Nina’s upcoming film Flatliners with the following quote:
Looks impressive. Great cast too.
— D.j. Caruso (@Deejaycar) June 14, 2017
If you are yet to watch The Return of Xander Cage starring Vin Diesel, Nina Dobrev, Donnie Yen, Toni Colette, Deepika Padukone, Ruby Rose, Tony Jaa, Michael Bisping, Kris Wu, Samuel L. Jackson and more besides, then it is available to purchase on 4K Blu-Ray, 3D Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray, DVD and through digital on-demand services.
Following on from yesterday’s incredible debut trailer; the official social media channels have finally launched for sci-fi horror drama Flatliners, although there is no official website as of yet.
You can like the official Flatliners Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FlatlinersMovie and follow the official Twitter profile at https://www.twitter.com/FlatlinersMovie while there is also an official social media hashtag to be able to share your thoughts on the trailer and everything Flatliners related with #FlatlinersMovie.
Even better is an official poster that lists Nina third on the cast billing which is consistent across all official materials that have been released so far. That is a really good sign as it represents that Nina has a fair amount of on-screen time and the official trailer certainly seems to reflect that point also.
Flatliners stars Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton and Kiersey Clemons with Keifer Sutherland returning from the original 1990 film as his character Nelson and is set to release in cinemas throughout the UK and America on September 29th 2017. There are a few countries in which Flatliners is set to show at cinemas a day or so before the September 29th 2017 release date. For a full list of country specific cinema opening dates; refer to IMDB.
Nina Dobrev has officially started filming her next film Departures. The synopsis was previously released months before filming during pre-production and there is finally an expanded cast list to compliment the storyline. We already knew that Nina Dobrev, Asa Butterfield and Maisie Williams’ characters would be at the centre of the story as Izzy, Calvin and Skye respectively, while Tituss Burgess who stars in comedy series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will be playing Julian; Tyler Hoechlin who previously starred in Teen Wolf as Derek Hale and is portraying Clark Kent and Superman in the Supergirl series will play the role of Frank; Peyton List who has starred as Emma Ross in comedy series Jessie and Bunk’d will play Ashley; and Ken Jeong who stars as Mr. Chow in The Hangover trilogy plays Officer Al. A full list of cast and credits is available from IMDB.
As anticipated Nina has been having lots of fun on the set of Departures. For instance, eating while trying to talk with Tituss Burgess…
