Richard Branson on Tuesday announced a new name for his forthcoming cruise ship line: Virgin Voyages.

The first sailing is planned out of Miami in 2020 to the Caribbean.

The vessels are being built by the Italian shipbuilding company Fincantieri with a capacity of at least 2,700 passengers, considered midsize by the cruise industry.

Branson said Virgin Voyages will be the first major cruise line to adopt a new clean-energy technology called Climeon Ocean that transforms waste heat from ship engines into electricity for onboard use.

Scary German movies get museum treatment

Film buffs, take note: The Milwaukee Art Museum is rolling out its newest exhibition, “Haunted Screens: German Cinema in the 1920s,” just in time for Halloween.

The Weimar-era ’20s were a tumultuous time in Germany as people grappled with hyperinflation, hardships and other fallout from World War I. An uneasy mood permeated the arts, from painting, literature and architecture to German expressionist cinema.

Filmmakers of the time used a host of stylistic techniques — warped perspectives, dramatic lighting and distorted settings — to tell stories built around villains, monsters, the perils of technology and an uncertain, often bleak future.

Organized by French film organization La Cinematheque Francaise, “Haunted Screens” showcases more than 150 objects, including set design drawings, photos, posters, cameras and clips from more than 20 movies. Also on display: a life-size reproduction of the Maria robot from Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent film classic, “Metropolis.”

The exhibit is running now through Jan. 22. Entry is included in the cost of regular museum admission, which is $17 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, and free for kids under 13; visit mam.org.
