Spider-Man: Brand New Day-Director Destin Daniel praises Tom Holland's 'fearless performance' as filming wraps up

<p>Tom Cruise is treading into uncharted territory again. The action star is not performing high-octane action stunts but dancing with a shovel in his hands in Alejandro G Iñárritu’s new film Digger.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The first teaser of Digger was released on Thursday, and gives a very brief but impactful glimpse of Cruise. The promo is a sharp turn from the actor’s recent screen persona.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Tom Cruise dances in the new Digger teaser</h2><p>The footage is short and opaque. Cruise appears old, possibly through prosthetics, moving awkwardly and rhythmically at the same time. There is no dialogue, no clear setting or story highlighted but it shows the Hollywood icon dancing with a shovel in his hand.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film has been described by Iñárritu as a “comedy of catastrophic proportions,” a phrase he used earlier this year while speaking about the project in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The filmmaker also termed the film as “brutal,” “wild,” and “insane,” adding that it is meant to be funny, unsettling, and visually striking all at once. It brings Cruise back to Comedy after decades.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Plot details have been tightly guarded, but a report in Variety states that Cruise plays a man attempting to convince others he can save humanity before an impending disaster.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p> </p><h2>Tom Cruise steps away from the action mold in Digger</h2><p>For Cruise, Digger marks a noticeable departure from the action genre- which has been Cruise playground for years. Over the past decade, his output has been dominated by physically demanding action roles like the Mission: Impossible films, Top Gun: Maverick, and Jack Reacher, among others. </p><p>With Digger, Tom seems to be stepping out of his comfort zone.</p><p> </p><p>The screenplay was written by Iñárritu alongside his Birdman collaborators Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolás Giacobone, with playwright Sabina Berman also credited. Apart from Cruise the film also stars Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Emma D’Arcy, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Sophie Wilde.</p><p> </p><p>Digger is scheduled for release in October 2026.</p>

Digger has Tom Cruise moving out of the action genre after decades and doing a key role in a comedy film. The first teaser was dropped on Thursday, while the film will be releasing in October 2026.

Tom Cruise is treading into uncharted territory again. The action star is not performing high-octane action stunts but dancing with a shovel in his hands in Alejandro G Iñárritu’s new film Digger. The first teaser of Digger was released on Thursday, and gives a very brief but impactful glimpse of Cruise. The promo is a sharp turn from the actor’s recent screen persona. Tom Cruise dances in the new Digger teaser The footage is short and opaque. Cruise appears old, possibly through prosthetics, moving awkwardly and rhythmically at the same time. There is no dialogue, no clear setting or story highlighted but it shows the Hollywood icon dancing with a shovel in his hand. The film has been described by Iñárritu as a “comedy of catastrophic proportions,” a phrase he used earlier this year while speaking about the project in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The filmmaker also termed the film as “brutal,” “wild,” and “insane,” adding that it is meant to be funny, unsettling, and visually striking all at once. It brings Cruise back to Comedy after decades. Plot details have been tightly guarded, but a report in Variety states that Cruise plays a man attempting to convince others he can save humanity before an impending disaster.

<p>When the first Avatar was released in 2009, filmmaker James Cameron introduced the world to the wonders of Pandora. The VIsual effects in the film, and the world that Cameron created, were a watershed moment for Cinema at large as many witnessed the greatness of CGI and how it makes films visually rich. It became an inspiration for makers worldwide as they explored realism and alternate universes and worlds in their stories. Cameron captured the imagination of the audience by introducing Pandora and its people, called Na’vi. Alien-like blue creatures who welcomed Jake Sully -one from the Sky people- humans- into their own as he fell deep in love with Na’vi princess Naytiri. Cameron returns to the big screen this Friday with Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment in the franchise, hoping to tap on the love that the previous two films had received. But is the film a worthy sequel in the franchise?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The film, like its prequels, remains true to its technical supremacy and James Cameron and his team present a visually stunning film. Some of the frames (best viewed in IMAX) are breathtaking and the scale at which the scenes have been conceptualised is worthy of praise. But can a film simply work on its visual excellence? Shouldn't there be a story to propel the film’s overall appeal?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>The plot of Avatar Fire and Ash</h2><p>The film picks up from where Avatar: The Way Of Water had ended. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family have been living with the water tribe and coping with the loss of their eldest child, Neteyam. While Jake believes in strengthening his tribe and collecting weapons to fight the Sky People, Naytiri (Zoe Saldana) has withdrawn herself completely, mourning the death of her son. They are both now protective of their remaining three children and of Spider.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Col Miles Quaritch(Stephen Lang), now an Avatar, leads Sky -people in hunting down Sully and Spider and extracting Pandora’s flora and fauna- to create Amrit- the ultimate elixir for life. There is also a rival Na’vi tribe headed by Varang(Oona Chaplin), a barbaric leader, who doesn't want to follow the rules of Pandora and functions in tandem with Sky people.</p><h2>What works in Avatar: Fire and Ash</h2><p>Avatar franchise has always been visually rich, and Fire and Ash is equally vibrant. The canvas is huge, and the visuals, especially the ones that highlight the magnanimity of the ocean and its beings, are breathtaking and immersive. You can sense the amount of technical finesse that’s involved in making these characters realistic. The scenes where the Sully kids explore the underwater and connect with other beings in the ocean are beautiful.</p><p>Among the characters, Col Quaritch and Varang seem to get better lines and thus have more fun on screen as they create havoc in Pandora. A scene involving Jake Sully, Spider and Naytiri near the climax also stands out for its poignancy.</p><h2>What does not work in Avatar: Fire and Ash</h2><p>Expectations are always high for a film which is part of a hit franchise. And in most cases, the sequels disappoint and are unable to match these expectations. Avatar: Fire and Ash, apart from its visual excellence, has a terribly predictable plot and a very jaded storyline line almost giving you a sense of deja vu about past films in the franchise. How much can you marvel at the visual landscape of a film when the story is boring and lacks any kind of surprise element? At 197 minutes, the film is purely an indulgence on the makers' part, who, it seems, just want to show off its technical brilliance and conveniently forget to have a proper story in place.</p>

<p><h2>Final word</h2><p>Let Pandora rest. It's been an exhausting 16 years for the people of Pandora, and now for the audience. Cameron’s Fire and Ash stays true to its scale, but forgets to add a cohesive storyline. With multiple characters and subplots, it becomes difficult to keep up with all that’s happening- simply because the sc reenplay is not engaging. It is time, perhaps, to bid the Na’vi community farewell and let them live in peace in Pandora.</p><p>Avatar: Fire and Ash is now running in theatres all across.</p></p>

James Cameron returns to the big screen with the third installment of Avatar in Avatar: Fire and Ash. While the film remains visually stunning, it lacks an original story and gives the audience a sense of deja vu from the previous films. 

When the first Avatar was released in 2009, filmmaker James Cameron introduced the world to the wonders of Pandora. The VIsual effects in the film, and the world that Cameron created, were a watershed moment for Cinema at large as many witnessed the greatness of CGI and how it makes films visually rich. It became an inspiration for makers worldwide as they explored realism and alternate universes and worlds in their stories. Cameron captured the imagination of the audience by introducing Pandora and its people, called Na’vi. Alien-like blue creatures who welcomed Jake Sully -one from the Sky people- humans- into their own as he fell deep in love with Na’vi princess Naytiri. Cameron returns to the big screen this Friday with Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment in the franchise, hoping to tap on the love that the previous two films had received. But is the film a worthy sequel in the franchise? The film, like its prequels, remains true to its technical supremacy and James Cameron and his team present a visually stunning film. Some of the frames (best viewed in IMAX) are breathtaking and the scale at which the scenes have been conceptualised is worthy of praise. But can a film simply work on its visual excellence? Shouldn't there be a story to propel the film’s overall appeal? The plot of Avatar Fire and Ash The film picks up from where Avatar: The Way Of Water had ended. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family have been living with the water tribe and coping with the loss of their eldest child, Neteyam. While Jake believes in strengthening his tribe and collecting weapons to fight the Sky People, Naytiri (Zoe Saldana) has withdrawn herself completely, mourning the death of her son. They are both now protective of their remaining three children and of Spider.

<p>As per <i>People</i>, the Constanta Court of Appeal has handed down the sentence to Khalifa after he was convicted of possession of dangerous drugs without a right for personal consumption.

Harrison Ford is to be given a lifetime achievement award from the main union representing Hollywood actors, the organization announced Thursday. Ford, whose decades on the big and small screen have included some of the most famous roles in cinema, will be given the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award as part of the rebranded Actor Awards -- formerly the Screen Actors Guild Awards -- in March. The prize, which SAG-AFTRA gives annually to a performer who embodies "finest ideals of the acting profession," is the latest recognition for a man whose characters -- from Indiana Jones to Han Solo -- are part of the cultural fabric of the 20th and 21st century.

Reiner was arrested on Sunday after the bodies of his 78-year-old filmmaker father and mother, photographer Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were discovered at their home in the upmarket Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.



The son of Hollywood director Rob Reiner made his first appearance in court Wednesday, charged with stabbing his parents to death in their Los Angeles home. In a very brief hearing thronged by media, Nick Reiner did not enter a plea to two counts of first-degree murder over a crime that has shocked the entertainment world. The 32-year-old, who has a troubled history of addiction, is next expected to appear in court on January 7 for a formal arraignment. Lawyer Alan Jackson told reporters the case needed to be treated with "restraint and with dignity." "This is a devastating tragedy that has befallen the Reiner family," he said. "There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case. These need to be thoroughly but very carefully dealt with and examined and looked at and analyzed." Jackson has so far refused to say who hired him. If convicted, Reiner could face life in prison without parole or the death penalty, although California does not routinely carry out capital punishment. Reiner was arrested on Sunday after the bodies of his 78-year-old filmmaker father and mother, photographer Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were discovered at their home in the upmarket Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. Prosecutors said Rob Reiner -- who directed huge hits including "When Harry Met Sally" and "A Few Good Men" -- and his wife were stabbed to death. - Timeline - On Wednesday, a picture began to emerge of the timeline of a weekend that has left Hollywood in shock. According to US media reports, Nick Reiner, who lived in a guest property at his parents' home, had attended a glitzy Hollywood party hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien on Saturday, where some attendees spoke of his behaving erratically. The New York Times, citing a source close to the family, said the couple had been due to dine with former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle on Sunday evening, and had seemingly booked a massage appointment for that day. The paper said a therapist who arrived at the house had been unable to get an answer, so had contacted the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner. When she arrived with a friend, she discovered her father's body, and emergency services were called. Paramedics told her that her mother's body was also at the property. Entertainment outlet TMZ reported that Nick Reiner had checked in to a Santa Monica hotel early Sunday morning. At a press conference on Tuesday, investigators declined to say what time they believed the couple had died. Police arrested Reiner several miles (kilometers) away from the scene of the crime late on Sunday evening. - 'Devastating' - In a statement issued Wednesday, Jake and Romy Reiner said the death of their parents was "horrific and devastating." "Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day," the statement said. "The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends. "We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave." Rob Reiner, the son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, started his showbiz career in acting. He won fame as the oafish son-in-law Michael "Meathead" Stivic on groundbreaking 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," before transitioning to directing. Even while leading behind the camera, he often appeared in cameo roles in his own films. As a director, he struck Hollywood gold. His output included classic films like 1984's rock music mockumentary "This is Spinal Tap," fantasy gem "The Princess Bride" from 1987, and seminal coming-of-age movie "Stand By Me." "A Few Good Men," starring Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson, earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.
