<p><em>John Wick 4</em> is out, and as per many fans of the franchise, it might be the best entry in the entire franchise. The third time around Keanu Reeves film certainly has bigger stakes and a sense of scale that dwarfs earlier movies. It is also the best-reviewed film in the series, with a score of 95 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The film leaves with a definitive ending to John's story, but we know that the franchise will continue in the form of spinoffs, which include a miniseries called The Continental and a film called Ballerina, featured Ana de Armas in the lead role.</p>

<p>Chad Stahelski, the director of all four <em>John Wick </em>movies, was recently asked in an interview as to which Hollywood stars would he like in the celebrated action franchise. Among the names he mentioned were Cillian Murphy and Jason Momoa. While speaking to Screenrant, he said, "So many people. So many! Keanu and I have a whole board of people we'd love to work with. If you told me Cillian Murphy was going to be in a <em>John Wick</em> movie, I'd be like, "Oh my God!" If you told me Jackie Chan or Jet Li, or Jason Statham? If you said Stallone was going to make a cameo! I'm a little bit old school, so the dream list is, "Clint Eastwood is going to make an appearance." Christian Bale, Chris Hemsworth, or Hugh Jackman; Matt Damon and all these people that I love. We're friends with Jason Momoa, and I can't imagine a better enticement than Jason Momoa coming in and giving you that look! Like, come on. These are all people we'd love to [work with]. Whether that's in <em>John Wick</em> or another project, I'm a fanboy just like everybody else. If I could work with those people, I would."</p>

<p>Cillian Murphy is known for his ability to portray complex and intense characters, which could make him a compelling villain for John.</p>

<p>Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, Clancy Brown, Natalia Tena, Marko Zaror, and Ian McShane also star in <em>John Wick 4</em>. Jason Momoa, on the other hand, is known for his physicality and commanding presence on screen. He has already demonstrated his action skills in films like Aquaman and Conan the Barbarian, so he could also bring a lot of energy and excitement to the franchise.</p>

<p>WION's review of <em>John Wick 4 </em>reads, "In many ways, <em>John Wick 4</em> is the most ruminative this franchise has ever been, delving deeper into the world of assassins, the morality of their actions, and their motivations. Unlike some others in this trade, John Wick is not a cold-blooded killer, but a man driven by grief over his wife's death and seeking revenge for the murder of his dog. He's a man with nothing left to lose, and even he may struggle to articulate his motivations for even staying alive."</p>

John Wick 4 director wants Jason Momoa, Cilian Murphy in future entries

<p>Actress Gwyneth Paltrow appeared in court on Friday (the fourth day of the trial) to deny responsibility for a ski collision in 2016 that is the subject of a lawsuit filed by Terry Sanderson, a retired optometrist. Paltrow testified that Sanderson crashed into her from behind on the ski slopes, and that her first instinct was to assume she was being “violated” due to the position of his skis between her legs, reported the Associated Press. She clarified that the collision was not of a sexual nature. Sanderson is expected to give his own account of events when he takes the stand on Monday. Sanderson claims that Paltrow was responsible for the collision, which caused him to suffer broken ribs, concussion, and brain damage.</p>

She claimed that Sanderson ran into her and that they both fell, with her landing on top of him. After the crash, she acknowledged that she yelled at Sanderson and did not stop to ask if he was okay.

Gwyneth Paltrow ski collision case: Iron Man actress insists she is the victim, says it was not her fault

<p>John Wick: Chapter 4 is out in the world. The film brings back Keanu Reeves' titular hitman as he simultaneously flees from and takes on the High Table, the organisation that rules over the global underworld we were introduced in the first movie. Along the way, he acquires allies and enemies or make enemies of old allies. He also faces the new Big Bad in the form of Bill Skarsgård's Marquis Vincent de Gramont. Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick (in one of his final roles), Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, and Ian McShane also star.</p>

<p><strong>SPOILER ALERT</strong></p>

<p>In the film, Yen as a blind assassin and old friend called Caine to John who is brought back into the game to kill the Baba Yaga. He confronts John in Osaka Continental, whose manager is legendary Japanese actor Sanada's Shimazu Koji. The concierge of the hotel is his daughter Akira (Rina Sawayama). Wick takes shelter in the hotel and Shimazu hosts him happily. though he does wonders what is the endgame of this all for John. Her father's hospitability towards John angers Akira, who believes (rightly so) that his very presence at the Continental can endanger the life of everyone in the hotel.</p>

<p>And this is exactly what happens. de Gramont sends assassins to the Continental, and a battle ensues between the assassins led by Caine on one side, and John, Akira, Shimazu and his men on the other side. It ends when Anderson's street-smart Tracker (also called Nobody) intervenes in the fight between John and Caine. Meanwhile Shimazu and Caine engage in a duel when the former decides to stand in the latter's way. Shimazu is shot and Caine defeats him. Akira was also shot and vows revenge against John.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What happens at the end of John Wick 4?</h2>

<p>At the end of the film, John decides to request a one-on-one duel with de Gramont once an for all. But he can only do that if he is part of a crime family. He becomes the part of the Ruska Roma syndicate after doing a favour for Natalia Tena's Katiya (killing the head of German Table). He fights his way to Sacré-Cœur, the location of the duel, helped along by Caine, who is also de Gramont's second, and the Tracker.</p>

<p>It's a pistol duel and both John and Caine shoot each other. As John is gravely wounded, de Gramont demands to shoot him personally, but turns out John is still to fire the gun in the round. He shoots and kills de Gramont, and then he too succumbs. He is buried next to his wife, his gravestone reading "Loving husband."</p>

<h2>Post-credits scene</h2>

<p>Meanwhile, in a post credits scene, Akira stalks Caine as he goes on to deliver flowers to his daughter. This clearly is a tease for a future project. Despite John Wick's death, we know the John Wick universe will continue to expand with a miniseries spinoff called The Continental. As the name suggests, it focusses on the hotel and its strange clientele. Then there's a big screen spinoff titled Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas as an assassin called Rooney. Akira's story might tie into Ballerina.</p>

<p>WION's review of the film read, "John Wick 4 is also a gorgeous-looking film, even beyond the fights and clever camera wizardry. From the neon lights of Osaka to the fiery reds and oranges of a Moroccan desert, John Wick 4 is a veritable symphony of hues. Many important moments suspiciously transpire during the golden hour. The stunning, elegiac imagery here is not something you expect in films like these. You would find yourself wanting to pause to take in all in. I know I did."</p>

John Wick 4 ending and post-credits explained: How Keanu Reeves film teases the future

<p>The rumour mill is active regarding Blockbuster, the American video rental chain which rented out movies and video games out of brick-and-mortar stores.

Is Blockbuster coming back? Internet abuzz with speculation after official website goes live again

<p>Gwyneth Paltrow is facing a $300,000 lawsuit in a Utah court over a 2016 ski collision incident that occurred at the upscale Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah. On Wednesday, which was the second day of the trial, the legal defence of the plaintiff, a 76-year-old retired optometrist called Terry Sanderson,&nbsp;called on medical doctors to support his claims that Paltrow collided with him and the impact left him with adverse effects on his long-term health that included physical and brain damage, reported the Associated Press. Dr Wendell Gibby, a neuroradiology specialist said in his testimony that Sanderson was a "high energy person" but "deteriorated abruptly" after the crash that reportedly left him with significant physical injuries.&nbsp;</p>

Dick Van Dyke car accident: Nonagenarian actor crashes car in Malibu, suffers minor injuries

<p>All charges against Justin Roiland, co-creator and star of the animated Adult Swim TV series<em> Rick and Morty</em>, have been dismissed by the Orange County District Attorney's Office. Kimberly Edds, spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, told NPR that there was not enough evidence to prove the case 'beyond a reasonable doubt.' Roiland had pleaded not guilty to two felony domestic violence charges in 2020. He was charged in Orange County, California with one count of domestic battery and one count of false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit. Roiland took to Twitter to celebrate his acquittal, saying that he has always "known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come."</p>

<p>Canadian R&amp;B singer and songwriter The Weeknd, has claimed the Guinness World Record for the most popular musician on the planet. A report on the official website of the popular reference book said that nobody comes even close to the 33-year-old statistics. The report cited two records to award Weeknd with the title: most monthly listeners on the music streaming platform Spotify (111.4 million) and the first artist to reach 100 million monthly listeners on the platform.</p>

<p>The singer is currently ahead of the runner-up Miley Cyrus by almost a staggering 30 million monthly listeners (82.4 million). Others in the top 10 include Shakira (81.6 million), Ariana Grande (80.6 million), Taylor Swift (80.2 million), Rihanna (78.5 million), and Ed Sheeran (77.5 million).</p>

The Weeknd smashes Guinness World Record as most popular artist on the planet

<p>The internet has a new kind of influencer: the 'cleanfluencer'. As the self-explanatory name suggests, a cleanfluencer creates content related to cleaning, organising, and decluttering. Particularly on the popular short form video sharing site TikTok, the videos posted by cleanfluencers are being watched by millions, reported news agency Agence France-Presse. Finland native Auri Kananen is one of the world's most successful cleanfluencers with 9 million followers. She&nbsp;told AFP, "I love cleaning, I love dirt." She added that she remembers when she had just 19 followers. "Even then it felt really cool to have 19 strangers wanting to see me clean," she added.</p>

<p>Auri said she travels to the dirtiest homes possible in the world. Wearing her pink rubber gloves, she dusts, wipes, and organises even as peppy music plays in the background.</p>

<h2>The rise of cleanfluencers</h2>

<p>As mentioned above, cleanfluencer is basically a social media influencer who cleans and shares videos on social media sites. Cleanfluencers offer quick and easy solutions for keeping homes clean and organised, attracting a large audience. They often focus on niche areas, such as cleaning fridges or getting rid of stubborn stains, providing useful and practical advice. They have gained popularity in recent years as people become more interested in maintaining a clean and organised living space.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Some cleanfluencers have even turned their passion into a full-time career, partnering with brands and creating their own product lines. The trend of cleanfluencing has become so popular that it has spawned its own subculture, with social media communities dedicated to sharing cleaning content and communities of like-minded individuals who share a love for keeping things clean and tidy.</p>

<h2>Marie Kondo, the first cleanfluencer?</h2>

<p>Japanese organising consultant, author, and television personality Marie Kondo may have kicked off the 'cleanfluencer' revolution.

Now, watch this timeless tale come to life in a Broadway-style larger-than-life production with elaborate set designs, vibrant colours, evocative lighting, and special effects to recreate the opulence of British India’s former capital, Calcutta, during the early 1900s.</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0FsLg6u_DoQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Eminent British theatre director, writer, actor, and teacher Toby Gough, who previously scripted <em>The Merchants of Bollywood </em>and<em> Taj Express,</em> and is well-known for devising multi-cultural adaptations of Shakespeare plays, comes on board as the creative director for this grand musical. Renowned Indian director Ranga Godbole is the co-director. Together with well-known technical director and production designer Tom Kitney – a champion of technology, whose artistic practice involves combining lighting, sound, videography, photography, carpentry, electronics, and design into theatre, events and installations, Ashvin Gidwani’s <em>Devdas – The Musical,</em> is sure to be a not-to-be-missed performance.</p>

<p>This multi-faceted production has prodigious performances from some well-known Bollywood actors such as Sunil Kumar Palwal, Aanchal Chauhan, Bhavna Pani, Jayesh Thakkar and Smita Jaykar, who play key roles in the musical. Adding to the star-studded lineup is Arif Zakaria, who will play the role of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the writer of the classic tale. The musical is further enriched with songs from the original score of the Bollywood chartbuster movie <em>Devdas</em>, as well as new mesmerising melodies such as 'Woh Zindagi Hi Kya', 'Shyam Tore Rang Me', 'Toota Re Manwa' that feature an entirely original soundtrack sung by some of the most prominent Bollywood singers including Shaan, Kailash Kher, Alka Yagnik, Suresh Wadkar, Shail Hada, Bhoomi Trivedi, and Antara Mitra. In addition to the songs, the play boasts of an elaborate and larger-than-life stage design. The poignant music is brought to life by graceful choreography, featuring stunning performances and a fusion of Indian classic and contemporary dance styles artistically choreographed by Devendra Singh (Debu).</p>

<p><img alt="devdas musical" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ec972d01-1ac5-44e1-8dda-6c6ae63f1da2" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/devdas-musical%20%281%29.jpg" /></p>

Now, watch this timeless tale come to life in a Broadway-style larger-than-life production with elaborate set designs, vibrant colours, evocative lighting, and special effects to recreate the opulence of British India’s former capital, Calcutta, during the early 1900s. Eminent British theatre director, writer, actor, and teacher Toby Gough, who previously scripted The Merchants of Bollywood and Taj Express, and is well-known for devising multi-cultural adaptations of Shakespeare plays, comes on board as the creative director for this grand musical.

Devdas – The Musical makes its world premiere at Singapore’s Esplanade Theatre

<p>Gwyneth Paltrow’s lawyer called the story of a retired optometrist who is suing her over a 2016 ski collision “utter B.S.” on Tuesday during the trial’s opening day in Utah, where the actor-turned-lifestyle influencer appeared in court looking sombre.</p>

<p>Paltrow and Terry Sanderson, the man suing her, sat across from each other in a Park City courtroom as their attorneys gave opening statements that provided strikingly different accounts of the crash. Both described their clients as victims and blamed the other for the collision at Deer Valley, one of the country’s most upscale ski resorts.</p>

<p>The two showed little emotion as attorneys questioned their credibility and version of events on the first day of the trial, which is expected to last eight days. Sanderson’s attorneys said that they plan to call Paltrow to the stand to testify on Friday, but they could do so earlier in the week depending on the other witnesses’ availability.</p>

<p>Paltrow — wearing a cream-colored knit sweater, tweed harem pants, and aviator-style reading glasses — shielded her face from photographers using a blue “GP”-initialed notebook as she entered and exited the courtroom. Sanderson wore a gray suit and left halfway before witnesses began testifying.</p>

<p>Sanderson claims that Paltrow was cruising down the slopes so recklessly that they violently collided, leaving him on the ground as she and her entourage continued their descent down the skiers-only mountain known for its groomed runs, après-ski champagne yurts and posh clientele.</p>

<p>“All skiers know that when they’re skiing down the mountain, it’s their responsibility to yield the right of way to skiers below them,” Sanderson’s attorney, Lawrence Buhler, told jurors, who — unlike those selected for most trials — walked into the courtroom smiling, likely because of their proximity to a major celebrity.</p>

<p>Buhler highlighted his client’s military service record and tried to appeal to the jury’s sympathies — describing the broken ribs and brain trauma Sanderson sustained during and after the crash. Attempting to draw a contrast, Buhler described Paltrow as a wealthy, experienced skier who adopted a “So what?” attitude about the collision.</p>

<p>“She hires multiple ski instructors for her children, which allows them to skip the lines. Private instructors cost thousands of dollars per day,” he said.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/exclusive-k-pop-band-blackswan-on-wion-553850/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Park City is a resort town in the Rocky Mountains that hosts the Sundance Film Festival, which draws a throng of celebrities each year.</p>

<p>Paltrow and Sanderson both agree that they collided while on a beginner’s run seven years ago, yet both accuse the other of being at fault and skiing up behind them.</p>

<p>Sanderson is suing Paltrow for $300,000 — claiming that the accident in Park City was a result of negligence, and left him with physical injuries and emotional distress. After the collision, Sanderson’s attorneys said their client went to urgent care and to the emergency room.</p>

<p>On ski slopes, Utah law gives the skier who is downhill the right of way, so a central question in the case is who was farther down when the collision transpired. Both Paltrow and Sanderson claim that they were farther downhill when the other rammed into them.</p>

<p>Both sides are presenting their clients as conservative skiers who were stunned when a skier above them crashed into them.</p>

<p>Paltrow’s attorneys told jurors Tuesday that Sanderson was the one who crashed into her — a collision in which she sustained what in court filings they called a “full body blow.” Attorney Steve Owens noted that members of Paltrow’s group checked on Sanderson, who assured them he was fine — an interaction Sanderson doesn’t deny but said in court filings that he can’t remember.</p>

<p>Paltrow’s attorney cautioned jurors not to let sympathy for Sanderson’s medical ailments skew their judgements. He questioned the 76-year-old’s credibility, noting his age and documented, pre-collision brain injuries. He said that the Utah man had confirmed he was fine after the crash. Owens also said that Sanderson posted a “very happy, smiling picture” of himself online, being tobogganed down post-crash.</p>

<p>“His memories of the case get better over the years. That’s all I’m gonna say. That’s not how memory works,” Owens said.</p>

<p>Two witnesses testified on Tuesday: Craig Ramon, a friend and ski companion of Sanderson’s, and Karlene Davidson, a woman who was dating him in February 2016 during the crash.</p>

<p>Ramon, who said he was skiing roughly 35 feet (11 meters) away at the time of the crash, testified on Tuesday afternoon. An outdoorsman who skis more than 150 days annually, Ramon said he heard a loud scream and saw Sanderson’s ski tips fly up, causing him to fall face-down “spread-eagle” upon the collision. He testified that Paltrow hit Sanderson, bouncing off his back and sliding to his right.</p>

<p>Paltrow’s ski instructor, a Deer Valley employee, approached moments later and said, “Your buddy just took out Gwyneth Paltrow,” Ramon testified.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/wion-exclusive-cast-of-trial-by-fire-speaks-to-wion-554759/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p>Paltrow’s attorney’s attempted to paint Ramon as a close friend of Sanderson by showing pictures of him calmly smiling with other friends after the crash and brought up — but did not probe into — an email chain with Sanderson’s family that suggested the collision was captured with a GoPro camera. The footage has not been seen or included as part of the trial’s evidence.</p>

<p>Davidson, Sanderson’s ex-girlfriend, said that in addition to his injuries, she noticed his demeanor changed after the crash. He grew more distant and she said “had no joy left in his life,” which led to the demise of their relationship. Sanderson’s attorneys attributed the changes to the crash. Paltrow’s attorneys noted that the man had started dating another woman quickly after their break-up.</p>

<p>After his initial lawsuit seeking $3.1 million was dismissed, Sanderson amended the complaint and he is now seeking $300,000. Paltrow — the Oscar-winning actor known for her roles in <em>Shakespeare in Love</em> and Marvel’s<em> Iron Man</em> movies — filed a counterclaim, seeking attorney fees and $1 in damages.</p>

<p>Paltrow has alleged that Sanderson is overstating his injuries and trying to exploit her celebrity and wealth. In addition to her acting career, she is also the founder and CEO of high-end wellness company Goop.</p>

<p>“He demanded Ms. Paltrow pay him millions. If she did not pay, she would face negative publicity resulting from his allegations,” her attorneys wrote in a 2019 court filing.</p>

<p>The trial is expected to include testimony from numerous medical professionals and Paltrow’s children, Moses and Apple.</p>

'Utter BS': Gwyneth Paltrow’s lawyer rubbishes Utah ski collision story. Details here

<p>English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has opened up about his tragic year 2022 in which he lost two of his friends: celebrated Australian cricketer Shane Warne and music entrepreneur Jamal Edwards. While speaking to Rolling Stone magazine in an interview ahead of a documentary series on his life and career as well as a new album, Sheeran said he did not want to live anymore. he told the publication, "I felt like I didn’t want to live anymore. And I have had that throughout my life.… You’re under the waves drowning. You’re just sort of in this thing. And you can’t get out of it.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that the thoughts, even then, seemed selfish "especially as a father. I feel really embarrassed about it.” Sheeran is married to childhood sweetheart Cherry Seaborn and has two young daughters.</p>
