<p>Clancy Brown has joined the cast of HBO Max's <em>The Penguin</em> TV series, reported Variety. He will essay the role of Salvatore Maroni. The series features Colin Farrell in the role of Batman villain Penguin. Farrell reprises the role from Matt Reeves' 2021 DC movie, <em>The Batman</em>, which had Robert Pattinson in the lead role. At the end of the film, Penguin became the top crime boss of Gotham City. The series also stars Cristin Milioti and Shohreh Aghdashloo.</p>

<p>The Penguin traces the origins of a disfigured man called Oswald Cobblepot and charts his rise to one of Gotham City's top mob bosses. Farrell's performance, despite layers and layers of heavy makeup and prosthetics, was widely praised. He was comic-perfect, and both his face and voice were not recognisable. He basically became a different man. The official synopsis suggests the series "follows the transformation of Oswald Cobblepot from a disfigured nobody to a noted Gotham gangster."</p>

<p>It has emerged that Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio was grilled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation over his ties with Jho Low. Low is a Malaysian fugitive businessman and financier who is wanted by international authorities in connection with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal (1MDB scandal). As per Bloomberg, which accessed FBI documents of interviews with DiCaprio that occurred in 2018, the actor admitted that he worked with Low and also had social interactions. He told a grand jury as per the report, "I was working for him … and that business also translates into being social. And so we saw each other more, and there was more interaction."</p>

<p>Low is accused of a money-laundering scheme of over $4.5bn involving the Malaysian state investment fund known as 1MDB.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>How were Leonardo DiCaprio and Jho Low connected?</h2>

<p>According to the report, DiCaprio and Low became close after meeting in a nightclub in 2010. The two had discussed several business ideas, including a mega-fund for filmmaking and an eco-friendly resort in Belize. Additionally, Low had financed DiCaprio’s 2013 movie, The Wolf of Wall Street and gifted him various luxury items such as Marlon Brandon’s $600,000 Oscar statue and a $9m Jean-Michel Basquiat painting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>DiCaprio interestingly played the role of the first Director of FBI&nbsp;J&nbsp;Edgar Hoover in&nbsp;Clint Eastwood's<em>&nbsp;J. Edgar.</em></p>

<h2>What is the 1MDB scandal?</h2>

<p>The 1MDB scandal refers to a corruption scandal involving a Malaysian government investment fund called 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). The fund was created in 2009 by then-Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, to promote economic development in the country.</p>

<p>However, over the years, billions of dollars from the fund were allegedly misappropriated by high-level officials and their associates for personal gain. The scandal involved allegations of fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and bribery.</p>

<p>The scandal first came to light in 2015 when investigations by international media outlets and anti-corruption organisations revealed suspicious financial transactions involving the fund. The revelations triggered a series of investigations in Malaysia and several other countries.</p>

<p>The scandal led to the arrest and conviction of several high-level officials, including Najib Razak, who was found guilty of multiple charges related to the 1MDB scandal in 2020. The scandal also led to significant political and economic consequences for Malaysia, including the downfall of the ruling party and the loss of investor confidence in the country.

<p>It appears Keanu Reeves' fourth time around in the role of a titular master assassin in <em>John Wick: Chapter 4 </em>is going to break the franchise record for the biggest opening at its domestic box office. Deadline reported that the movie will open at around $60 million to $70 million in North America — not bad for an R-Rated movie. The Chad Stahelski directorial also stars Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, Clancy Brown, Natalia Tena, Marko Zaror, and Ian McShane. The film is written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch.</p>

<p>The franchise began in 2014 and the films have been praised for their world-building, action, stunts, and set pieces. In the third movie, titled <em>John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum</em>, Keanu Reeves’ titular assassin&nbsp;character was non-lethally shot by his ally Winston (Ian McShane). He and the Bowering King (Laurence Fishburne) decide to team up against the High Table, a council of the most powerful crime lords in the world.</p>

<p>The fourth film will be the first in two-part finale, so <em>John Wick’s</em> story will end after the fifth film.</p>

<p>Parabellum was both a commercial and critical hit. It scored 89 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, “<em>John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum</em> reloads for another hard-hitting round of the brilliantly choreographed, over-the-top action that fans of the franchise demand.”</p>

<p>The film grossed $327 million on a budget of $75 million. The franchise has earned a total of $587 million worldwide on a budget of $145 million.</p>

<p><em>John Wick: Chapter 4 </em>will release on March 24, 2023.</p>

John Wick 4 tracking for franchise record opening at North American box office

<p>As DC Studios CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran continue to develop the DCU across film, TV, animation, and gaming, it is not certain whether many of the existing franchise within the old DCEU will continue to exist. Among them is the <em>Shazam </em>franchise. While the first film received positive reviews and was also a moderate box office success, it is not certain yet whether the series will continue beyond the upcoming sequel, <em>Shazam! Fury of the Gods.</em> Recently David F Sandberg said that whether the property survives or rebooted depends on the box office margins. Now Levi says he has talked to Safran about this.</p>

<p>"Listen, I've talked to Peter [Safran] a good bit, we're gonna talk more on this tour. Certainly, the idea is to continue the character, this world. It's a really enjoyable extension of the DCU. It has DNA that a lot of the other characters and extensions don't necessarily have because we are a more family [movie]... [That] kind of franchise comes with a lot of fun. It's a throwback to... stuff like Goonies and Indiana Jones and all those things that evoke that kind of adventure in you," he said.</p>

<p>Fury of the Gods brings back Zachary Levi as the titular superhero, who is really a kid (played by Asher Angel) but can turn into an adult superhero by uttering the word Shazam.</p>

<p>Henry Gayden and Chris Morgan have penned the script. In the sequel, Shazam and his found family members come into conflict with the daughters of Atlas -- Kalypso, Anthea, and Hespera played respectively by Lucy Liu, Rachel Zegler, and Helen Mirren, who join the franchise with this film.</p>

<p>Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Adam Brody, Ross Butler, Meagan Good, and Djimon Hounsou will also return.</p>

<p>Paramount is clearly leaving no stone unturned to promote the upcoming <em>Scream </em>sequel,<em> Scream VI</em>.

Several images of the Ghostface people have surfaced online, leading many to believe this must be a part of the movie's marketing campaign.

A trailer for Disney's upcoming Haunted Mansion is here. Based on Walt Disney's theme park attraction of the same name, which also inspired a movie in 2003, the new movie is finally here after more than a decade of being stuck in development hell.

A trailer for Disney's upcoming Haunted Mansion is here. Based on Walt Disney's theme park attraction of the same name, which also inspired a movie in 2003, the new movie is finally here after more than a decade of being stuck in development hell. At one point, none other than Guillermo del Toro was attached to direct the film. Ah, well. The movie is helmed by Justin Simien, known for directed Dear White People, and written by Katie Dippold. The cast is star-studded and features names like Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon, LaKeith Stanfield, Owen Wilson, Tiffany Haddish, Winona Ryder, Dan Levy, Hasan Minhaj, Danny DeVito, Jared Leto, and Jamie Lee Curtis. You can watch the movie's trailer above. The story follows Gabbie (Dawson), a single mother, and her 9-year-old son, who are seeking a fresh start when they decide to move into a surprisingly affordable mansion in New Orleans. However, they soon realise that the place holds far more secrets than they initially thought. In their desperation for assistance, they turn to a priest who recruits a team of experts to help them exorcise the mansion and eliminate the vengeful ghosts that threaten their safety.

<p>Ana de Armas essayed the American actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe in Andrew Dominik's biopic <em>Blonde</em>. Based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, the film divided critics, though everyone agreed Armas was transcendent in the role. Now the Cuban-Spanish actress has responded to the backlash. She said when the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival, the reaction to it was much more positive but reactions by US media get more attention. She told The Hollywood Reporter, "It was not a movie that was made to please people or to make people like it. It is a hard movie to watch."</p>

Ana de Armas defends mixed reception to Blonde: 'It wasn't made to please people'

<p><em>The Super Mario Bros Movi</em>e directors Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic have opened up about the controversy surrounding Chris Pratt's casting in the titular character. The movie is based on the classic video game franchise Mario. Mario is canonically an Italian plumber and many fans of the franchise were surprised by an American actor voicing the role. While speaking to Total Film, Horvath said it made "total sense" to cast Pratt. "For us, it made total sense. He's really good at playing a blue-collar hero with a ton of heart. For the way that Mario is characterised in our film, he’s perfect for it," he said.</p>

<p>Mario is the primary protagonist of the Mario stories who goes on various adventures to save Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy in the film) from the clutches of evil Bowser (Jack Black).</p>

<p>Last year, Pratt had promised that his Mario voice is “unlike anything you’ve heard.” While speaking to Variety, he said, “I worked really closely with the directors and trying out a few things and landed on something that I’m really proud of and can’t wait for people to see and hear. It’s an animated voiceover narrative. It’s not a live-action movie. I’m not gonna be wearing a plumber suit running all over. I’m providing a voice for an animated character, and it is updated and unlike anything you’ve heard in the Mario world before.”</p>

Super Mario Bros Movie directors say Chris Pratt's casting made 'total sense'

<p>Will Smith made a comeback to the awards season events on Wednesday night as he accepted the Beacon Award at the African American Film Critics Association Awards, reported Variety. This is the first time Smith has attended an awards function after the debacle that was the Oscars 2022 ceremony for him. Smith was last seen in <em>Emancipation</em>, which received mixed reviews with many critics calling it Oscar bait. And despite that, it was not nominated for an Oscar, though apart from AAFCA honour,&nbsp;it did win Smith a trophy at NAACP Image Awards. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by William N Collage, the film follows the fascinating true story of &nbsp;Gordon and Whipped Peter, the visuals of whose whipped back took a symbolic meaning during the American Civil War.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Smith said at the ceremony, "<em>Emancipation </em>was the most individual difficult film of my entire career. It’s really difficult to transport a modern mind to that time period. It’s difficult to imagine that, that level of inhumanity.”</p>

<h2>How was <em>Emancipation</em>?</h2>

<p>WION's review of the film read, "A coherent film based on Whipped Peter's story could have been inspiring and rich with drama, but <em>Emancipation </em>watches like a film that a hypothetical machine would churn out if it was instructed to manufacture the perfect Oscar bait. It is as though Smith kept the film as a second alternative to score an Oscar nomination if 'King Richard' did not succeed. It has that "prestige" look and often seems appears to be a bad parody of one of HBO's crime dramas. Visually, the film is nearly but not exactly black-and-white, another choice probably to give the film a pretentious aesthetic but that does not justify its presence."&nbsp;</p>

<p>As a punitive measure for his act of violence, in April the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences barred Smith from Oscars and any other events organised by the Academy for a decade following a meeting of the board of governors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In August last year, it was reported that Will Smith's reputation saw a steep decline due to the slap. &nbsp;As per Variety, Smith's popularity and approval ratings declined significantly following the Oscar ceremony. In the data provided by Q Scores to the publication, he was one of the top 5 or 10 rated actors in the US. But after the incident, his Q Score went down to 24 from 39.

Creed 3 set to break franchise record with $36 million US debut, will surpass Ant-Man 3

<p>The third film in the <em>Deadpool </em>franchise will go on floors this spring, reported Collider. The film is the first of the series to be set under the MCU umbrella and apart from Ryan Reynolds' titular mutant anti-hero, also brings back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine after 2017's Logan. As per the publication, the film will begin shooting on May 1 in London, United Kingdom as opposed to Vancouver in Canada, where the first two films were shot. With this Shawn Levy directorial, the <em>Deadpool </em>franchise will continue to be R-Rated, despite being a part of MCU.</p>

<p>In a recent interview Reynolds and Jackman revealed how the team-up came to be. It all began with Reynolds approaching Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige after Disney's takeover of Fox was complete to find out about the fate of his R-Rated franchise.</p>

<p>— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) <a href="https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1574865217141481477?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2022</a> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></p>

<p>“I got Kevin to talk what, if anything, the future holds for <em>Deadpool </em>in that transaction. The subject was coming up in the meeting about if we could find a way to do a Deadpool-Wolverine pairing. It wasn’t possible then. For this to be happening now is pretty damn exciting," Reynolds told Variety.</p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/five-great-superhero-movies-that-are-not-dc-or-marvel-510918/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<h2><em>Deadpool 3</em> will be Wolverine and Deadpool buddy movie</h2>

<p>The news was surprising and yet not really surprising at the same time. Jackman so utterly owned the role of Wolverine that Disney did not want him to let go. Debuting in<em> X-Men</em>&nbsp;in 2000, his casting was criticised as Wolverine in comics is a short man, which Jackman was not. But he soon proved detractors wrong, and gave one of the best superhero performances throughout, particularly in Logan. Disney perhaps wants to go safe with the casting of one of the most important mutants. We also saw Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', who might or might not return in other movies.</p>

<p>Deadpool and Wolverine in comics have always played off well against each other, with the Merc with a Mouth often annoying the hell out of Wolverine, who is more gruff and serious. This should also be fun because Jackman and Reynolds share a great friendship that should translate nicely to the screen (if the film is something like a buddy comedy, that is).</p>

The film is the first of the series to be set under the MCU umbrella and apart from Ryan Reynolds' titular mutant anti-hero, also brings back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine after 2017's Logan. As per the publication, the film will begin shooting on May 1 in London, United Kingdom as opposed to Vancouver in Canada, where the first two films were shot. With this Shawn Levy directorial, the Deadpool franchise will continue to be R-Rated, despite being a part of MCU. In a recent interview Reynolds and Jackman revealed how the team-up came to be. It all began with Reynolds approaching Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige after Disney's takeover of Fox was complete to find out about the fate of his R-Rated franchise. — Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) September 27, 2022 × “I got Kevin to talk what, if anything, the future holds for Deadpool in that transaction. The subject was coming up in the meeting about if we could find a way to do a Deadpool-Wolverine pairing. It wasn’t possible then. For this to be happening now is pretty damn exciting," Reynolds told Variety. Deadpool 3 will be Wolverine and Deadpool buddy movie The news was surprising and yet not really surprising at the same time. Jackman so utterly owned the role of Wolverine that Disney did not want him to let go. Debuting in X-Men in 2000, his casting was criticised as Wolverine in comics is a short man, which Jackman was not. But he soon proved detractors wrong, and gave one of the best superhero performances throughout, particularly in Logan. Disney perhaps wants to go safe with the casting of one of the most important mutants. We also saw Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', who might or might not return in other movies. Deadpool and Wolverine in comics have always played off well against each other, with the Merc with a Mouth often annoying the hell out of Wolverine, who is more gruff and serious. This should also be fun because Jackman and Reynolds share a great friendship that should translate nicely to the screen (if the film is something like a buddy comedy, that is).

Deadpool 3 to begin filming in London this spring

The MAP Museum of Art and Photography in Bengaluru, India recently opened its doors to the public. The five-storey, 44,000-square-foot building edifice is a private cultural institution and boasts some 60,000 art pieces.

The MAP Museum of Art and Photography in Bengaluru, India recently opened its doors to the public. The five-storey, 44,000-square-foot building edifice is a private cultural institution and boasts some 60,000 art pieces. A CNN report said it challenges the traditional perception of art history of the Indian subcontinent. While the focus is on modern, pre-modern, and contemporary art, it also houses an extensive collection of art pieces from textiles, crafts, and print advertising. The museum sports a variety of exhibits, including Bollywood memorabilia, traditional woven fabrics, carved deities, and more. The man behind the museum is philanthropist and art collector Abhishek Poddar, who began the museum from his own private collection of 7,000 works and then donated more later. His aim was to dissolve the boundaries between "fine" art and "everyday creativity".

It's a very Western construct. That's how we've grown up looking at it in museums, but not that's not how it is in life." "India has some of the most amazing art, both in terms of what was made in the past and what's being made today. Why is it that we don't go to Indian museums, but every time we travel overseas, one of the first things we do is go to a museum over there?" Poddar added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Museum of Art & Photography (@mapbangalore) The museum is also aiming to contextualise the subcontinent's art history and to counter biases, with exhibitions such as Visible/Invisible, which explores the representation of women throughout Indian art history and questions prevailing perspectives, including the male gaze. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Orange & Teal (@orangeandteal.in) Kamini Sawhney, director and curator, told CNN, "India women are deified as goddesses and, at the other end of the spectrum, they are looked at as objects of desire. So where is the space in between for women to just be normal mortals with the ambitions, desires and frailties that all of us have?"
