The Penguin: Theo Rossi joins HBO Max’s Batman series

DC Studios boss James Gunn is moving ahead with his plans for Superman revival. Making it his next directorial project, he is ready to helm Superman: Legacy after he has been involved with the writing process since November. It was in the same month he joined DC as co-head with partner Peter Safran.&nbsp;

Superman: Legacy will be the first film that James and Peter will look over as DC bosses. The film has a scheduled release for July 11, 2025.&nbsp;

Earlier in January, Peter Safran told media that the feature “focuses on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way. He is kindness in a world that thinks that kindness is old-fashioned.” This is one reason why Henry Cavill, the original Superman was first roped in and then let go. The two new bosses have a new vision for Superman and it seems likely they will get a new and younger face to lead the superhero film.&nbsp;

Explaining his move to start off with Superman, James Gunn said, “I initially said no because I didn’t have a way in that felt unique and fun and emotional that gave Superman the dignity he deserved. Then a bit less than a year ago I saw a way in, in many ways centering around Superman’s heritage – how both his aristocratic Kryptonian parents and his Kansas farmer parents inform who he is and the choices he makes.”

“Just because I write something doesn’t mean I feel it in my bones, visually and emotionally, enough to spend over two years directing it, especially not something of this magnitude. But, the long and the short of it is, I love this script, and I’m incredibly excited as we begin this journey,” he added.&nbsp;

Superman: Legacy will mark James Gunn’s first time directing an A-list superhero. He has previously directed relatively unknown characters such as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy.&nbsp;

This week, there is also Peter Safran-produced <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-shazam-fury-of-the-gods-complete-character-guide-of-heroes-and-villains-572291">Shazam!

Tom Cruise starrer Top Gun: Maverick is one of the best films to watch if you are an adventure junkie. With the Hollywood star in his top form, the film also made a buzz at this year’s recently concluded Oscars 2023 event – winning an Oscar for best sound and losing in three categories including best picture, best-adapted screenplay, and best original song. The awards run began for the film with Golden Globes with two nods including the best motion picture in the drama category.&nbsp;

After registering a successful run at the box office, the Top Gun sequel is now available for online streaming. It is now on Paramount + and Amazon-owned MGM+ (formerly Epix) last December. It’s also available to buy or rent on Amazon’s Prime Video, iTunes, Redbox, Vudu, and other video-on-demand platforms.

For those who have not seen the film, Tom Cruise reprises his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, who returns more than 30 years after the events in the original film to train the latest class of elite naval aviators. Original Top Gun star Val Kilmer appears briefly as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, and the film also stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, Glen Powell, Monica Barbaro, Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman, Danny Ramirez, Charles Parnell, Bashir Salahuddin, Jay Ellis, and Greg Tarzan Davis.

Where to Watch Top Gun: Maverick Online

Top Gun: Maverick is available to stream online on Paramount+ ($5 to $10 monthly) and MGM+ ($6 monthly), which was previously Epix. A subscription is required for both streaming services, which each offer seven-day free trials.

You can also buy or rent Top Gun: Maverick and the original film on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu, and YouTube Movies &amp; Shows.

Outside the US, if you&nbsp;want to access your Paramount+ account, you can use a virtual private network (VPN) such as ExpressVPN. The service costs $7 to $13 per month and lets you log into high-speed servers across more than 90 countries.

Here's where to watch Oscar-winning Tom Cruise film Top Gun: Maverick online

Following the historical win at the Oscars earlier this week, Indian producer Guneet Monga along with Netflix is set to launch a bare-it-all documentary film based on the life of hip-hop artist &amp; rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh.&nbsp;No stranger to controversies, he will now deep-dive into his life and sudden disappearance at the peak of his career that startled the industry and fans. Produced by the Oscar-winning Sikhya Entertainment and directed by Mozez Singh, Honey Singh will take his fans through the unseen and unheard chapters of his life with his raw and candid revelations that capture his highs and lows.

In 2003, the Indian hip-hop artist&nbsp;entered the music industry with his Punjabi raps. By 2011, Honey Singh had taken the industry by storm with his several hits like "Brown Rang", "Desi Kalakaar", "Blue Eyes"&nbsp;and several&nbsp;hit Bollywood numbers. He has been praised for gradually infusing the genre (desi hip hop ) into mainstream pop culture, making it an integral part of the music business in the country. Being one of India’s first internet sensations, his tracks once ruled every music chart, party, and radio station.&nbsp;

The docu-film captures this personal and professional journey, with behind-the-scenes moments straight from Hirdesh Singh aka Honey Singh himself alongside sit-downs with his family members, friends, and music collaborators who have been by his side through it all. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Commenting on the docu-film, Honey Singh said, “I have spoken about my personal &amp; career issues in the media before but I’ve never been able to bare it all. I have received tremendous love from my fans, and they deserve to know the whole story. This Netflix docu-film will give everyone an honest and sincere account of my life, my upbringing, where I’ve been and my current journey to return stronger.”&nbsp;

Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga, Sikhya Entertainment added, "Yo Yo Honey Singh took over the Indian music industry by storm. His music resonated with the youth. Singh was a star even before he garnered limelight in the press. His tumultuous journey with fame intrigued a whole nation, and us at Sikhya. This was a story I wanted to explore. Thankfully, Netflix has always supported and given unique, diverse local stories to a global audience, creating a space for a perfect fit for a bare-it-all, authentic docu-film like this. We’re excited for you to meet the man behind the country’s rap and hip-hop music, and learn about the journey that led to his clout, and the controversy that followed.”

Indian-Canadian production designer Rhea Solanki who is just off a film festival circuit earlier this year with her short film We Were Meant To getting its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2023, is now working on production design for projects that have a social message. Speaking to WION about how marrying art and technology while retaining traditional storytelling methods will drive the future of production design in films and shows, Rhea Solanki opens up about what taking up production design as a career option can mean for those new to the field and OTT being a driver for changes in the ecosystem.&nbsp;

Here are the excerpts from our conversation:&nbsp;

WION: Production designing is increasingly becoming a lucrative career option. What’s the charm of being behind the scene?&nbsp;

Rhea: OTT is a large part of it – it has brought in a lot of good, diverse content to India. We’re watching shows from all over the world like Korea, Germany, Norway, Japan, and of course America. This increased access to content has helped people diversify their tastes, and watch different things that were traditionally not available in India. Just a few years ago, all we had access to, was the quintessential Hollywood blockbuster, Bollywood films, and Indian soap operas on TV. We didn’t even see films from the Southern part of the country but now there’s access to so much content, that too uncensored. It’s all been given a platform and with this access, the audience is now demanding better content from Indian creators. This has brought a larger awareness of the other fields of filmmaking other than just the roles of actors and directors. This has created an environment that is much more conducive for new talent to enter and thrive.

<img alt="Dahmer" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1fdc6afe-e0be-48eb-8294-c683dce5fb51" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20%2854%29_0.jpg" />

WION: A production designer is a person who makes a story believable for the audience. What are the challenges of being the person in charge of having an eye for detail?&nbsp;

Rhea: The most important skill in product design is the ability to read a story and understand how this story can be visually brought to life. Production design is not just about building four walls for the actor to be in, rather it is about connecting with the character and building a world that showcases who that person is. For example, bringing out on set if this person is a clean freak? Does she organize everything alphabetically? Or is she obsessed with Pokémon and has shelves of collectibles? No matter what the journey of the character in the story is, a product designer is responsible for showing a dynamic multi-faceted character to the audience. This builds on the empathy that we feel for the character and helps us connect far more to the story.&nbsp;

<img alt="We were meant to" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="695022e8-a0df-4253-b432-eb8e87eb9c18" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20%281%29_0.jpg" />

Tiny details can influence how the audience views the character and what they feel for them. One example is that of a simple thing like colour that has a set preconceived role in our minds. Depending on the shade, red is both anger and passion, while purple can be royal or sinister like death, and yellow can be sickly or exuberant. Being mindful of these tiny details can really elevate the delivery of a story. Take, for example, the story of Dahmer. You don’t feel bad for this character and you most definitely don’t want to feel empathy for him. But then you watch the story and you understand. You see how awful his childhood is, the lack of color in his life, the whole show is very bene tone, and you feel for him even though you know he’s a terrible person and has done horrific things.

WION: Most of your recent work has enjoyed worldwide success. What were the things that you considered before you went ahead with these projects?

Rhea: I am an Indian but I spent most of my childhood in Canada. This made it difficult for me to relate to my family back home in India. It was through Indian films that I found connections between these two very different cultures. That was when I realised the power of cinema and how it can connect us and build empathy. Looking at the world today, I think the need for empathy is obvious. Storytelling and filmmaking are&nbsp;potent forms of empathy wherein you can get immersed in the story or life of another person and understand their journey and motives.&nbsp;

When one hears a script, there are stories that immediately hit you and you know that you want to work on it. At other times, you can feel the passion and connection of the person directing the film and it still clicks. I’m mindful of the stories I choose. I want to work on stories that are more minority-focused, related to the experience of coloured people in America, or have very specific messages. I love working on projects that are trying something new or offer me a challenge in designing.

In my recent projects, if you look at my film that just went to Sundance, We Were Meant To, focuses on the message of societal oppression and the power of breaking through. It’s about being able to stand up and fly when everyone’s pushing you down. That kind of story can have an instant connection with people.

WION: What changes would you suggest at the university level to hone talent that can pursue careers in production design?

Rhea: We need to develop a larger culture of short films that are beyond just actor or director show-reel pieces. People are watching things on their phones during commutes or lunch breaks. They want shorter pieces of content but good stories. Students creating more short content will allow for experimentation, gaining experience, and a wider range of storytelling being made and can offer them an opportunity to share their work with audiences and gain insight into what works and what doesn’t.&nbsp;

Storytelling is evolving with content like Netflix’s Kaleidoscope which is basically a ‘pick your own’ storytelling experience, to how the metaverse and blockchain are coming up and being used. India has ample skilled hands for VR/AR, VFX, AI, and other digital technologies, and hence has the potential to become leading digital content creators for a global market.

WION: What is the technological know-how that an aspirant must learn to become a good production designer? What big a role does knowing about the usage of Metaverse and AI in the design space play?

Rhea: For me, art and technology are entwined and I’ve always aimed to be at the crossroads between them. In technology, we’re always looking forward towards the next big thing and how to keep innovating for the audience. Today we have technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), and now the metaverse; which are all looking at creating immersive storytelling experiences for the audience for even more powerful storytelling.&nbsp;

<img alt="Avatar 2" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5db7287b-4838-4e52-b44d-ae51cdd24718" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS_0.jpg" />

Early on, I was fascinated with how these technologies can be used to deliver stories and how my designs can be more experience focused, working with digital mapping, AR, and VR. I’ve found myself using blockchain technologies for the more data-based side of design too. However, with all of these, I think it’s important to keep traditional storytelling techniques in mind. These are the foundations of filmmaking and they provide the cohesive storytelling necessary for technology to make a difference.

We’re seeing projects excel today that are not at the forefront of technology but have powerful storytelling. Like my projects, Dahmer and Home Economics, they follow traditional techniques but still deliver really powerful, relatable stories. But we also have new projects like Avatar: The Way of Water and you see how their experimentation and development of new technologies have really delivered and engaged audiences.

WION: What can you tell us about your ongoing and upcoming projects?

Rhea: My film We Were Meant To just premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury Award. We will be continuing the festival run! There’s also Unprisoned that launched on March 10. It’s a family dramedy that explores life after prison and what that puts a family through. I’m currently working on a new OTT project in India, which I’m very excited about!

Indian-Canadian production designer Rhea Solanki who is just off a film festival circuit earlier this year with her short film We Were Meant To getting its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2023, is now working on production design for projects that have a social message. Speaking to WION about how marrying art and technology while retaining traditional storytelling methods will drive the future of production design in films and shows, Rhea Solanki opens up about what taking up production design as a career option can mean for those new to the field and OTT being a driver for changes in the ecosystem. Here are the excerpts from our conversation: WION: Production designing is increasingly becoming a lucrative career option. What’s the charm of being behind the scene? Rhea: OTT is a large part of it – it has brought in a lot of good, diverse content to India. We’re watching shows from all over the world like Korea, Germany, Norway, Japan, and of course America. This increased access to content has helped people diversify their tastes, and watch different things that were traditionally not available in India. Just a few years ago, all we had access to, was the quintessential Hollywood blockbuster, Bollywood films, and Indian soap operas on TV. We didn’t even see films from the Southern part of the country but now there’s access to so much content, that too uncensored. It’s all been given a platform and with this access, the audience is now demanding better content from Indian creators. This has brought a larger awareness of the other fields of filmmaking other than just the roles of actors and directors. This has created an environment that is much more conducive for new talent to enter and thrive. WION: A production designer is a person who makes a story believable for the audience. What are the challenges of being the person in charge of having an eye for detail? Rhea: The most important skill in product design is the ability to read a story and understand how this story can be visually brought to life. Production design is not just about building four walls for the actor to be in, rather it is about connecting with the character and building a world that showcases who that person is. For example, bringing out on set if this person is a clean freak? Does she organize everything alphabetically? Or is she obsessed with Pokémon and has shelves of collectibles? No matter what the journey of the character in the story is, a product designer is responsible for showing a dynamic multi-faceted character to the audience. This builds on the empathy that we feel for the character and helps us connect far more to the story. Tiny details can influence how the audience views the character and what they feel for them. One example is that of a simple thing like colour that has a set preconceived role in our minds. Depending on the shade, red is both anger and passion, while purple can be royal or sinister like death, and yellow can be sickly or exuberant. Being mindful of these tiny details can really elevate the delivery of a story. Take, for example, the story of Dahmer. You don’t feel bad for this character and you most definitely don’t want to feel empathy for him. But then you watch the story and you understand. You see how awful his childhood is, the lack of color in his life, the whole show is very bene tone, and you feel for him even though you know he’s a terrible person and has done horrific things. Jimmy Kimmel jokes about weight loss drug 'Ozempic' at Oscars 2023. What is it and what are the side effect? WION: Most of your recent work has enjoyed worldwide success. What were the things that you considered before you went ahead with these projects? Rhea: I am an Indian but I spent most of my childhood in Canada. This made it difficult for me to relate to my family back home in India. It was through Indian films that I found connections between these two very different cultures. That was when I realised the power of cinema and how it can connect us and build empathy. Looking at the world today, I think the need for empathy is obvious. Storytelling and filmmaking are potent forms of empathy wherein you can get immersed in the story or life of another person and understand their journey and motives. When one hears a script, there are stories that immediately hit you and you know that you want to work on it. At other times, you can feel the passion and connection of the person directing the film and it still clicks. I’m mindful of the stories I choose. I want to work on stories that are more minority-focused, related to the experience of coloured people in America, or have very specific messages. I love working on projects that are trying something new or offer me a challenge in designing. In my recent projects, if you look at my film that just went to Sundance, We Were Meant To, focuses on the message of societal oppression and the power of breaking through. It’s about being able to stand up and fly when everyone’s pushing you down. That kind of story can have an instant connection with people. AI based ChatGPT will soon let you convert text into video. Here's all you need to know WION: What changes would you suggest at the university level to hone talent that can pursue careers in production design? Rhea: We need to develop a larger culture of short films that are beyond just actor or director show-reel pieces. People are watching things on their phones during commutes or lunch breaks. They want shorter pieces of content but good stories. Students creating more short content will allow for experimentation, gaining experience, and a wider range of storytelling being made and can offer them an opportunity to share their work with audiences and gain insight into what works and what doesn’t. Storytelling is evolving with content like Netflix’s Kaleidoscope which is basically a ‘pick your own’ storytelling experience, to how the metaverse and blockchain are coming up and being used. India has ample skilled hands for VR/AR, VFX, AI, and other digital technologies, and hence has the potential to become leading digital content creators for a global market. WION: What is the technological know-how that an aspirant must learn to become a good production designer? What big a role does knowing about the usage of Metaverse and AI in the design space play? Rhea: For me, art and technology are entwined and I’ve always aimed to be at the crossroads between them. In technology, we’re always looking forward towards the next big thing and how to keep innovating for the audience. Today we have technologies like Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), and now the metaverse; which are all looking at creating immersive storytelling experiences for the audience for even more powerful storytelling. Early on, I was fascinated with how these technologies can be used to deliver stories and how my designs can be more experience focused, working with digital mapping, AR, and VR. I’ve found myself using blockchain technologies for the more data-based side of design too. However, with all of these, I think it’s important to keep traditional storytelling techniques in mind. These are the foundations of filmmaking and they provide the cohesive storytelling necessary for technology to make a difference. We’re seeing projects excel today that are not at the forefront of technology but have powerful storytelling. Like my projects, Dahmer and Home Economics, they follow traditional techniques but still deliver really powerful, relatable stories. But we also have new projects like Avatar: The Way of Water and you see how their experimentation and development of new technologies have really delivered and engaged audiences. WION: What can you tell us about your ongoing and upcoming projects? Rhea: My film We Were Meant To just premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it was nominated for a Grand Jury Award. We will be continuing the festival run! There’s also Unprisoned that launched on March 10. It’s a family dramedy that explores life after prison and what that puts a family through. I’m currently working on a new OTT project in India, which I’m very excited about! Apart from Netflix’s Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, We Were Meant To, Rhea Solanki also worked on Amina which had its world premiere at the coveted Tribeca Film Festival.

With Korean beauty brands becoming fashionable among celebrities all over the world, Hollywood star Tilda Swinton being roped in as the face of a popular brand Sulwhasoo, only makes sense. The Oscar-winning actress has become the South Korean beauty brand’s newest global ambassador. She has previously represented brands like Chanel, Pringle, Belgian designer Haider Ackermann and more.&nbsp;

As for Sulwhasoo, she now joins Blackpink singer Rose, who was named the brand’s first celebrity face last September.&nbsp;

Earlier, the K-beauty brand revealed that Tilda Swinton is a fan of their best-selling First Care Activating Serum. It was first released in 1997 and has since been reformulated “through data mining research [to find] a new golden ratio blend” of its original key ingredients. It contains the brand’s proprietary Jaum Activator that includes lotus, white lily, Solomon’s Seal, peony, and Rehmannia, and is meant to be used after double cleansing morning and night to address dryness, dullness, and signs of ageing.

For those who like to experiment and try out new things and brands, the brand is a cult favourite. The K-beauty brand is a sub-brand of AmorePacific, whose portfolio includes Innisfree and Laneige. According to a statement, the brand is reintroducing itself with a fresh look inspired by “ultimate beauty based on heritage and artistry.”

Bollywood actress Chitrangda Singh's much-awaited movie Gaslight's trailer launched earlier today and has already created a buzz among the audience! Starring alongside Sara Ali Khan and Vikrant Massey, Chitrangda will be seen in a new role.&nbsp;

The film will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from March 31 onwards. &nbsp;

Speaking about her experience while shooting Gaslight and working with new co-stars, the actress said, “It was absolutely lovely working with Sara and Vikram. The two have done an abundance of work in Bollywood and the casting of this film sets you up for interesting scenes. The three of us are very distinct from one another as people and actors, but together the chemistry and suspense we were able to build and create in regard to the plot are honestly exceptional. You can only expect that we have had a great time on set.”

Chitrangda made her film career debut with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi and has since been seen playing multiple striking roles in movies of all genres.&nbsp;

Speaking about the film, Sara said in a press release, "Gaslight is a classic whodunit- set in an eerie yet beautiful palatial estate. It revolves around the character of Misha who’s trying to find the truth behind her fathers ‘absence’. During her endeavour, she comes across a lot of strange and terrifying instances, and the story then becomes about how she navigates her way through this unknown terrain."

Helmed by Pavan Kripalani, the movie stars Sara Ali Khan, Vikrant Massey, Chitrangda Singh, and Akshay Oberoi in pivotal roles.&nbsp;

Whoopi Goldberg is sorry for using an ethnic slur. On the recently aired episode of The View, the famous TV personality had a weak moment when she used the words “he got gy*****” in reference to former US president Donald Trump. This was during a discussion on Trump when she said that some of his supporters believe "he got 'gy****d' somehow in the election" where she could have just said ‘cheated’.&nbsp;

Goldberg took to social media and issued a statement of apology and said, "You know, when you're a certain age, you use the words that you know from when you were a kid or you remember saying, and that's what I did today, and I shouldn't have. I should've thought about it a little longer before I said it, but I didn't. And I should've said cheated, but I used another word, and I'm really, really sorry."

This is not the first time that Whoopi Goldberg has come under fire for saying something controversial.

“I regret my comments and I stand corrected. I also stand with the Jewish people,” Goldberg said in her January 2022 apology.

The apology hasn't received any backlash with many accepting her honesty while others arguing that many didn't know it was a slur. The ones defending her said that most&nbsp;people don't know the etymology of the word.

Juno Awards 2023 saw a lot of drama unfold as singer Avril Lavigne was on stage to introduce a performance. A&nbsp;topless environmental protestor climbed on the stage and Avril didn't let her take her air time. The music awards are equivalent to the one that happens in Britain. Juno Awards happen in Canada.&nbsp;

While Avril Lavigne was speaking, a topless woman climbed the stage behind the singer, flashing her back toward the audience. Her back had a message written on it: “Save the green belt” in reference to a controversial housing development plan by the Ontario government.&nbsp;

Avril tried to finish her speech at the awards before confronting the woman. She said, "Get the f*** off.” The woman was then escorted off stage by a security guard.
