Cannes 2021: First look unveiled of psychological drama 'Exploited'

Marilyn Manson has turned himself to the police after an arrest warrant was doled out for allegedly assaulting a videographer in 2019.&nbsp;

Marilyn Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, reported to the Hollywood division of the Los Angeles Police Department according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. This took place on July 2.&nbsp;

Reports suggest that the singer was subsequently released without bail.&nbsp;

As for the incident, it took place at a concert at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion on August 18, 2019 when Marilyn Manson was charged with two misdemeanor counts of simple assault, according to authorities. The arrest warrant was issued in October of that year.

Meanwhile, the rocker is also being investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department over allegations of domestic violence. Allegations first came to light after abuse claims were made from Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood and four other women. The actress was briefly engaged to Manson in 2010 after meeting him when she was 18 and he was 36.

Last month, Game of Thrones actress Esmé Bianco filed a lawsuit against Manson, in which she accused the musician of sexual assault and sexual battery during their relationship in 2011.

Manson has denied all allegations of abuse.

Two years ago, after a blistering and unprecedented streak of billion-dollar-grossing movies, the Marvel superhero films took what was meant to be a short hiatus.

When that big-screen break -- involuntarily extended by the Covid-19 pandemic -- finally ends Friday with the release of "Black Widow," Hollywood will be watching closely to see if Marvel still has its mojo.

"I would say it is in flux, at a pretty crucial turning point," said Kendall Phillips, a Syracuse University professor who specializes in pop culture.

"The key question is -- can Marvel do it again?"

"Black Widow" -- which finally gives Scarlett Johansson's Russian assassin-turned-superhero Natasha Romanoff her own spin-off -- has been sitting "in the can" since May 2020, as parent company Disney waited for theaters to reopen.

It is now set to be the first of a jam-packed raft of new Marvel films, with 12 splashy good-versus-evil extravaganzas due in theaters by the end of 2023 -- not to mention various TV series that have premiered during the pandemic or are coming soon.

Even for a franchise that previously churned out three blockbusters per year -- including "Avengers: Endgame," which briefly passed "Avatar" as the top-grossing film in history -- that is a frantic pace.

And the films' comeback is being launched at a time when the appetite of moviegoers for piling into theaters remains uncertain.

Despite the recent successes of "A Quiet Place 2" and "F9," only 80 percent of North American theaters are open, box office takes are far short of pre-pandemic times, and fears of Covid-19 variants are growing.

"'Black Widow,' I'm certain, would make 10 to 15 percent more this weekend if all theaters were open and there was no such thing as Covid," said David A. Gross, who runs movie consultancy Franchise Entertainment Research.

"But that's the world we live in."

The overall Marvel relaunch is also complicated by the loss of several stars.

Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have stepped back from key roles as Iron Man and Captain America, while "Black Panther" actor Chadwick Boseman died of cancer last year.

His role will not be recast for next year's sequel, which will tread a difficult line between honoring Boseman's legacy and cashing in on the first film's nearly $1.4 billion worldwide gross.&nbsp;

In their absence, upcoming films will feature lesser-known comic book characters such as Shang-Chi, and the "Eternals."

Minor characters have been promoted to lead roles in recent Marvel TV series on the Disney+ streaming platform such as "WandaVision" and "Loki."

"In the very, very long term, I think there's an issue of diluting the value of theatrical titles," said Gross.

But Gross added: "I would never bet against Marvel. They've basically shattered every expectation and every ceiling."

- 'Marvel is back' -

According to Phillips, part of Marvel's success stems from creating culturally important "event" movies that draw in "the everyday average moviegoer, who never read Marvel Comics, didn't watch the cartoons, doesn't play the video games."

"The tricky bit is, they're having to try to keep those people on board, draw in a new generation, all while not having those [famous] characters," he said.

Picking up the baton from 2019's groundbreaking female-led "Captain Marvel," "Black Widow" will be the series' first film directed entirely by a woman, with two female leads in Johansson and Florence Pugh.

Analysts are eagerly waiting to see if it will be the first film since the pandemic hit to pass $100 million on its opening weekend.

Those numbers are far short of the $350 million opening of "Avengers: Endgame," and may be dampened by the film's simultaneous release on Disney+ streaming. &nbsp;

But if it can even beat the recent $70 million box office of "F9," it will send a message that "Marvel is back, they're in the movie theater, and that's where fans want to see Marvel first," said Comscore box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

"Every decision we make along the way, is for 'what will it be like on that opening night in a big theater?'" said Marvel film chief Kevin Feige, at a launch event in Los Angeles last week.

"And now we finally get to see it... Marvel movies are made for the theaters."

As legendary actor Dilip Kumar died at the age of 98 on July 7, the entire world mourned the loss of a stalwart such as him with celebrities and influencers paying a tribute on various social media platforms.&nbsp;

Dilip Kumar died in Mumbai after being hospitalised several times over the last past 6 months owing to ill health.&nbsp;

With fans spread across the world, people of Pakistan too expressed their sadness over his death. After his death, fans and relatives in Pakistan's Peshawar offered a Ghaibana Namaz-e-Janaza (funeral prayer in absence of the person) to the late actor.

Several gathered outside his ancestral home in Pakistan’s Peshawar and lit candles in his memory. For the uninitiated, Dilip Kumar, born as Muhammad Yusuf Khan was from an Awan family in Pakistan's Peshawar. The actor was born on December 11, 1922 at his ancestral home in Qissa Khawani Bazaar area of Peshawar.&nbsp;

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan too mourned the loss of Bollywood actor Dilip Kumar, who was born in Peshawar. Imran took to Twitter and wrote, “Saddened to learn of Dilip Kumar's passing. I can never forget his generosity in giving his time to help raise funds for SKMTH when project launched. This is the most difficult time - to raise first 10% of the funds &amp; his appearance in Pak &amp; London helped raise huge amounts (sic).”

There has never been a better time for women to enter the film industry, American superstar Jodie Foster told the Cannes festival on Wednesday, saying movies had too long been starved of female perspectives.

Addressing a large crowd of mostly young festival-goers in near-fluent French, she encouraged budding women filmmakers to seek their own truth and not try to please others.

"This is the moment for women to enter the industry," Foster said.

Although male domination of the industry had "not changed completely," she said, "there is now an awareness that it's been too long that we haven't heard stories told by women... This is the moment."

Foster received a lifetime achievement on Tuesday for her work that has included star turns in Taxi Driver and Bugsy Malone when she was a child, through to her Oscar-winning role in Silence of the Lambs. She has also directed several films, including Money Monster with George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

"I know it's a bit cliche to say 'tell your own stories'," Foster said. "But what I mean is: ask yourself questions about the truthfulness of things and whether they resonate within you, instead of pleasing others, be it the public or producers."

- 'Worst reason' -

Foster said many young actors entered the movie business saying "I want to be looked at in my pretty clothes" which she said was the "worst reason" for taking up the profession.

"For some people it can take years, unfortunately, to cast off that armour that separates you from authenticity on the screen," she said.

Talking about her own experience, Foster said Pedro Almodovar -- who presented her with her honorary Palme the day before -- was "the first feminist director for me".

"It was the first time I'd seen films that talked about women in an authentic way," she said of the legendary Spanish director, who has made women central to many of his films.

Foster called Almodovar an exception among male directors who "can't easily transpose themselves into a woman's body and ask themselves what the complicated and complex experience of a woman consists of."

- Male 'confusion' -

Referring to her experience as a director, she said that there was still "confusion" in the male-dominated movie industry about how women exercise leadership positions.

"They don't understand how women lead because they've never seen women lead," she said of male producers.

"They don't know how to talk to women to convince them of something. They're afraid because they don't know how to deal with these situations."

The Cannes film festival has raised eyebrows for including just four films by women directors in the list of 24 movies vying for the top Palme d'Or prize in the main competition.

The gender balance is tilted less towards men in the festival's other competition categories, and the main jury this year is mostly female, including US star Maggie Gyllenhaal, Canadian-French singer Mylene Farmer and French-Senegalese director Mati Diop.

Only one woman has won the Palme d'Or in 73 editions of the festival -- Jane Campion for The Piano in 1993.

'Pride & Prejudice' reality dating show coming to Peacock for the traditional romantics

Good news for Kardashian sisters who won a legal battle over the Kardashian Beauty cosmetics line. A California court gave them respite over a legal battle that has been going on since 2016.&nbsp;

It started with a legal battle with Haven Beauty and Hillair Capital over a five-year license agreement made in 2012 with the now defunct Boldface Licensing +Branding that hit financial trouble and resulted in Hillair buying all its assets.&nbsp;

Resulting in a $11.5 million judgement, Kardashians had said that the companies were to give them royalty from the sale of Kardashian Beauty products in exchange of their permission to use their trademarks, images and likenesses for the line, as long as all uses were approved in writing in advance. In exchange, they’d receive a $1 million advance and royalties from the sales of Kardashian Beauty products. As of February 2016, they hadn’t received any royalties.&nbsp;

Kardashians notified Hillair it was in breach of the agreement, and the legal battle followed. Hillair maintained the Kardashians were the ones who breached the deal by failing to promote the cosmetics line.

Now, after winning the legal battle, in addition to the $11.5 million they were already awarded, the Kardashian sisters will be able to collect their costs on appeal — plus at least $2 million in post-judgment interest.

Good news for Kardashian sisters who won a legal battle over the Kardashian Beauty cosmetics line. A California court gave them respite over a legal battle that has been going on since 2016.

Good news for Kardashian sisters who won a legal battle over the Kardashian Beauty cosmetics line. A California court gave them respite over a legal battle that has been going on since 2016. It started with a legal battle with Haven Beauty and Hillair Capital over a five-year license agreement made in 2012 with the now defunct Boldface Licensing +Branding that hit financial trouble and resulted in Hillair buying all its assets. Resulting in a $11.5 million judgement, Kardashians had said that the companies were to give them royalty from the sale of Kardashian Beauty products in exchange of their permission to use their trademarks, images and likenesses for the line, as long as all uses were approved in writing in advance. In exchange, they’d receive a $1 million advance and royalties from the sales of Kardashian Beauty products. As of February 2016, they hadn’t received any royalties. Kardashians notified Hillair it was in breach of the agreement, and the legal battle followed. Hillair maintained the Kardashians were the ones who breached the deal by failing to promote the cosmetics line. Now, after winning the legal battle, in addition to the $11.5 million they were already awarded, the Kardashian sisters will be able to collect their costs on appeal — plus at least $2 million in post-judgment interest.

Saif Ali Khan has found himself in a fresh round of controversy as his upcoming film ‘Bhoot Police’ nears release date. The poster of the film made rounds on the internet as people slammed it for being insensitive towards Hindus.&nbsp;

Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor shared the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-bhoot-police-saif-ali-khan-and-arjun-kapoors-first-look-from-the-film-out-395965">first look poster</a> on Instagram, from where it found its way on Twitter and other social media platforms. Netizens are accusing the makers of allegedly hurting Hindu sentiments as there are Hindu saints in the backdrop of the poster. Many question why only Hindu saints are in the picture and not a pastor or a Muslim cleric.&nbsp;

Many have appealed for a boycott of the film online.
