<p>Director duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (of 'Bad Boys for Life' fame) will be helming the project and 'Bumblebee' writer Christina Hodson (who's also written 'Birds of Prey' and 'The Flash' in the past) has penned the script for this project.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
'Batgirl' is slated to release on HBO Max, reports suggest.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
With that batgirl outfit, Grace will be joining the likes of Alicia Silverstone (who played the part in 'Batman &amp; Robin') and Rosario Dawson (who lent her voice for 'The Lego Batman Movie').&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Interestingly, another HBO Max series, 'Titans', will be launching their own version of Barbara Gordon in the third season of the show.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Leslie Grace launched her acting career as Nina, a local girl turned Stanford student, in 'In the Heights'. But Grace is more popular in the music world and has received three Latin Grammy Award nominations.</p>

Leslie Grace, who has featured in hit movies like 'In The Heights', has been finalised for the role of Barbara Gordon, also known as Batgirl, in the upcoming 'Batgirl' film, Warner Bros confirmed on Wednesday. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leslie Grace (@lesliegrace) × Grace took to Twitter to share the news, she wrote, "BEYOND EXCITED to embody Barbara Gordon... ready to give her all I've got! (sic)." I am BEYOND EXCITED to embody Barbara Gordon, your #Batgirl ! I cannot believeeee what I’m writing rn… THANK YOU DC for welcoming to the family! I’m ready to give her all I’ve got! 🦇💜✨ https://t.co/muq9GuVVk6 — Leslie Grace (@lesliegrace) July 21, 2021 × Director duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (of 'Bad Boys for Life' fame) will be helming the project and 'Bumblebee' writer Christina Hodson (who's also written 'Birds of Prey' and 'The Flash' in the past) has penned the script for this project. 'Batgirl' is slated to release on HBO Max, reports suggest. With that batgirl outfit, Grace will be joining the likes of Alicia Silverstone (who played the part in 'Batman & Robin') and Rosario Dawson (who lent her voice for 'The Lego Batman Movie'). Interestingly, another HBO Max series, 'Titans', will be launching their own version of Barbara Gordon in the third season of the show. Leslie Grace launched her acting career as Nina, a local girl turned Stanford student, in 'In the Heights'. But Grace is more popular in the music world and has received three Latin Grammy Award nominations. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Leslie Grace (@lesliegrace) ×

Leslie Grace to don the batsuit for 'Batgirl', confirms Warner Bros

<p>During an interview—as part of the promotional tour for their upcoming project ‘Jungle Cruise’—lead actors Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson shared some interesting anecdotes about one another.</p>

<p>Johnson talked about the time when he wooed the mesmerizing Emily Blunt but ended up being ghosted by the actress.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Remembering the moment when he was shot down by the ‘A Quiet Place’ star, Johnson said, “I must have shot it (his introductory video for his to-be co-star) about five or six times because I had not communicated with Emily yet. I had not even met her. And I wanted to let her know via this video just how important she was to this movie and how I only wanted her in this movie. And it was great. And I never heard from Emily again. She didn’t respond at all, just ghosted me.”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The event in question took place when director Jaume Collet-Serra had flown down to New York City to hand-deliver a script to Blunt at her Brooklyn home.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
&nbsp;“I thought the video was sweet. Didn’t know you were going to be so sensitive,” Emily Blunt comes to her own defense. Eventually, Blunt came along and finalized the film.</p>

<p><br />
Dwayne Johnson has always admired Blunt as an actor. He shared, “I always admired her as an actor, but also when I would watch her on talk shows. She had this personality that was effervescent, cool and very, very charming.”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, ‘Jungle Crusie’ stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar Ramírez, Jesse Plemons, Jack Whitehall in crucial roles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dwayne Johnson, who had taken on the role of the mighty Luke Hobbs in ‘Fast &amp; Furious 5’ through its eighth installment—and had headlined the spin-off ‘Hobbs &amp; Shaw’—has put all speculations to rest—he is not coming back for any of the future installments of the ‘Fast’ franchise.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
&nbsp;“I wish them well on Fast 9… And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast &amp; Furious movies they do that will be without me,” Johnson was quoted as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Johnson’s announcement has come in just a month after his on-screen ‘Hobbs &amp; Shaw’ partner Jason Statham's surprise cameo in the upcoming ‘Fast &amp; Furious 9’ (which is yet to release in India).</p>

<p>Fans had gone wild thinking that the spin-off is going to be a full-blown franchise of its own, but Johnson, of course, feels otherwise.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Reacting to Vin Diesel’s comments on his feud with The Rock can be traced back to the tough love he had given the former wrestler to bring a great act out of him in ‘F5’, Dwayne Johnson told an entertainment website, “I laughed and I laughed hard… everyone had a laugh at that. (I will) leave it at that (sic).”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
‘F9’ has already released in the US, Canada, China, Russia, Korea, Hong Kong and the Middle East. The 9th installment of this franchise has been directed by Justin Lin, who has also co-written the screenplay along with Daniel Casey.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Over the years, this heist-espionage themed franchise has collected over five billion worldwide since its first release. It has also collected more than USD 500 million with its worldwide release.</p>

<p><br />
‘Fast and Furious 9’ is releasing in India on August 5 in five languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.</p>

Dwayne Johnson  confirms he is never returning to the ‘Fast & Furious’ family

<p>The wait to see fancy car flying around on big screen, with extremely good-looking people in it, seems to be over. Universal Pictures has announced the release date of one of its most popular franchises, ‘Fast and Furious 9’. The film is all set to release in India on August 5 in movie theatres in India.</p>

<p><br />
In this latest installment, John Cena—former professional wrestler-turned-actor—has joined the cast as Vin Diesel’s long-lost, spiteful brother Jakob Toretto.</p>

<p>Talking to an entertainment portal, Cena revisited the moment he was approached by Diesel to be a part of the ‘family’.</p>

<p>“I was approached to meet Vin on multiple occasions. He just wanted to get to talk and get to know me. And those conversations led to him enquiring if I wanted to be welcomed into the family. And eventually, he offered me the role of Jakob Toretto. Which, starting with the beginning of that statement: someone reached out and wanted me to meet Vin Diesel is so mythical and then the events thereafter are just so unpredictable, just so insane. It’s all surreal, man. It’s been a long time coming, but Fast &amp; Furious 9 is finally about to be released in theatres and the surreal is about to become very real, very soon (sic),” he was quoted as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
As for his character Jakob in the film?</p>

<p>He says he is ‘stronger, faster’ than Dom and a reflection of Dom’s past.</p>

<p>“My skillset includes being stronger, faster, more intelligent than Dom. So, for the first time Dom has a foe that not only possesses all of his skills, but at a greater capacity. Yet I think here’s the kicker, and I really do love this: I also represent Dom’s past. And there could be that people will take the stance that there’s a metaphorical symbolism that you truly can’t run away from your past. And if you’re not ready to confront certain parts of it, you’re eventually going to have to if you want to move forward. And here we have Dom Toretto experiencing the early stages of fatherhood, but he reaches – pun intended – a roadblock because he’s unable to approach this moment in his past. I like the fact that the past he hasn’t confronted is his bloodline family and the fact that he now faces an adversary that is more skilled than he in every way (sic)," he added.</p>

John Cena recalls that ‘mythical’ moment when Vin Diesel approached him for ‘F:9’

<p>It goes without saying that Zack Snyder is one of the most celebrated directors in Hollywood. While his movies 'Justice League: The Snyder Cut' and 'Army of the Dead' have turned out to be monster hits on OTT platforms worldwide, there are two genres that Snyder has been meaning to make movies on: a pornographic film and a film on religion.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Talking about his wish-list in an interview with a global entertainment website, he said, “I've always wanted to make a religious film and a pornographic film, and I've never really yet had the chance to do either.”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
That’s not all, Snyder has even thought about blending porn with religion, claims the site. “Or maybe '300' is that film, in some sense, a little bit. Or at least a primer for what that film could be (sic),” added the ace director.&nbsp;</p>

The director also revealed that the 2006 hit film ‘300’—for which he has co-written the script—was supposed to be a love story between Hephaestion and Alexander the Great but the studio (Warner Bros.) was against the idea. “I would love to do it, [WB] said no … you know, they're not huge fans of mine. It is what it is,” he concluded.&nbsp;<br />

It goes without saying that Zack Snyder is one of the most celebrated directors in Hollywood. While his movies 'Justice League: The Snyder Cut' and 'Army of the Dead' have turned out to be monster hits on OTT platforms worldwide, there are two genres that Snyder has been meaning to make movies on: a pornographic film and a film on religion.

It goes without saying that Zack Snyder is one of the most celebrated directors in Hollywood. While his movies 'Justice League: The Snyder Cut' and 'Army of the Dead' have turned out to be monster hits on OTT platforms worldwide, there are two genres that Snyder has been meaning to make movies on: a pornographic film and a film on religion. Talking about his wish-list in an interview with a global entertainment website, he said, “I've always wanted to make a religious film and a pornographic film, and I've never really yet had the chance to do either.” That’s not all, Snyder has even thought about blending porn with religion, claims the site. “Or maybe '300' is that film, in some sense, a little bit. Or at least a primer for what that film could be (sic),” added the ace director. The director also revealed that the 2006 hit film ‘300’—for which he has co-written the script—was supposed to be a love story between Hephaestion and Alexander the Great but the studio (Warner Bros.) was against the idea. “I would love to do it, [WB] said no … you know, they're not huge fans of mine. It is what it is,” he concluded.

Say what? ‘Justice League’ director Zack Snyder wants to make an adult film

<p>Big boss Mike Wazowski (voice by Bily Crystal) makes a small mistake and is now huffing and puffing at the office floor. Irate with all the paperwork that’s pushed down his throat, in a moment of weakness, Mike challenges his arch nemesis Gary (voice by Gabriel Iglesias) to a bowling face-off at the upcoming Bowl-off-a-thon at Monsters Inc. Only hindrance? He neither knows how to throw a ball nor does he know anyone who does.</p>

<p><br />
Meanwhile, Tyler Tuskman (voice by Ben Feldman) is desperate to move away from the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-monsters-at-work-s1-ep-1--2-review-tussle-between-the-monster-and-jokester-within-396666">MIFT team</a> and ‘get in good’ with his boss, Mike, with the hope that the latter would finally promote him to the role of a jokester. Mike’s in a limbo, Tyler finds the perfect pitch to impress. What happens next—leading up to the Bowl-off-a-thon tournament—constitutes the rest of this 22-minute long episode, titled ‘The Big Wazowskis’</p>

<p><img alt="Tyler and Val: a couple in the making?" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="86fc7e43-a7f5-485f-8426-9201a8621dd5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20%2839%29_1.jpg" /></p>

<p>Kaitlyn Ritter’s approach towards this episode is of heightening the drama: she focuses more on the preparation revolving around the face-off than the main event itself. Through blink-and-you-miss-it jokes and the power of animation, Ritter makes you one and all roll on the floor… literally!&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘The Big Wazowskis’ also serves as a behavioral insight into office politics, the innate quality of betrayal humans posses—brought to light through the eyes of cutesy creatures like ‘No Gutter Cutter’ and ‘No Splitz Fritz’—all the while staying true to its central theme: of love and laughter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Unlike <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-monsters-at-work-s1-ep-3-review-of-love-and-human-connections-398229">episode three</a>, the Monsters Inc. team deviates from high-octane emotions. Instead, the off-beat gang exhibits team spirit with panache as they vow to win the competition for their boss by ‘stinking their way to victory’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The fan-following of the hit ‘Twilight’ saga refuses to die down even after 10 years since its initial release. But the hit pair of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson—who had played bella Swan and Edward Cullen respectively—was not the original choices for the lead roles.</p>

<p><br />
In a blog post from 2007 that has now resurfaced, author Stephenie Meyer, who wrote the ‘Twilight’ book series, talked about her choices for the casting. “My opinions on the movie matter to no one. I have no influence on what goes on with the movie at all. No one is going to ask who I think should star in Twilight… Right now my favorite choice is Emily Browning, of Lemony Snicket’s fame… The only actor I’ve ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is Henry Cavill… I didn’t find an actress that looked like Rosalie to me, but I did find a model…Joanna Krupa. And hey, don’t all models want to be actresses?”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Nikki Reed went on to play the part of Rosalie. She wanted Daniel Cudmore as Emmett, but that role was bagged by Kellan Lutz.</p>

<p><br />
For the uninitiated, the ‘Twilight’ franchise followed the love story between Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, who came from a family of vampires and was one himself.&nbsp;<br />

'Twilight' casting coup: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson not first choices

<p>Global pop star Britney Spears has been in the news these past few weeks over alleged ‘abuse’ of over her court-imposed conservatorship. Britney’s father Jamie Spears is currently the co-conservator of her estate along with an outside financial group, the Bessemer Trust.</p>

<p><br />
After revealing that she is not going to get back on stage till she is under her father’s watch on social media—and also her plans on suing him—Britney Spears has now taken to Instagram to express her angry and hurt over those who did not speak up during her initial struggles with the conservatorship.&nbsp;</p>

“There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support … there’s nothing worse than that !!!! How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ???? Again … NO … so if you’re reading this and you know who you are … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!! If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny …. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 and have a good day !!!!! PS if you’re reading this today and you can relate …. I’m sorry because I know what it’s like … and I send you my love 💋💋💋 !!!! (sic),” she wrote as caption for a quote-based post that read as: Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.</p>

<p>In the past, fellow musician Billie Eilish has also spoken about the ‘horrible’ treatment of Britney Spears over the years. She was quoted as saying, “It’s really, really horrible what a lot of young women have gone through — I mean, to this day. All I have to be is just grateful that I happened to have a good group of people around me that … didn’t want to just take advantage of me and do what people have done in the past.”</p>

Global pop star Britney Spears has been in the news these past few weeks over alleged ‘abuse’ of over her court-imposed conservatorship. Britney’s father Jamie Spears is currently the co-conservator of her estate along with an outside financial group, the Bessemer Trust. After revealing that she is not going to get back on stage till she is under her father’s watch on social media—and also her plans on suing him—Britney Spears has now taken to Instagram to express her angry and hurt over those who did not speak up during her initial struggles with the conservatorship. “There’s nothing worse than when the people closest to you who never showed up for you post things in regard to your situation whatever it may be and speak righteously for support … there’s nothing worse than that !!!! How dare the people you love the most say anything at all … did they even put a hand out to even lift me up at the TIME !!!??? How dare you make it public that NOW you CARE … did you put your hand out when I was drowning ???? Again … NO … so if you’re reading this and you know who you are … and you actually have the nerve to say anything about my situation just to save face for yourself publicly !!! If you’re gonna post something …. Please stop with the righteous approach when you’re so far from righteous it’s not even funny …. 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 and have a good day !!!!! PS if you’re reading this today and you can relate …. I’m sorry because I know what it’s like … and I send you my love 💋💋💋 !!!! (sic),” she wrote as caption for a quote-based post that read as: Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask.

<p>Indian-American rapper Raja Kumari to pay tribute to late musician Amy Winehouse at a live-streaming event to be held on July 23.</p>

<p><br />
A star-studded tribute in memory of late English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse is slated to live stream on July 23 that will assemble a line-up of both established and rising artists to pay homage to the Grammy-winning music legend on the 10th anniversary of her passing.</p>

<p><br />
Titled ‘Back To Amy’, the three-hour ‘festival style’ event will emanate from City Winery Nashville—the site of a new physical exhibit dedicated to Winehouse—and is a collaboration between MusiCares® Foundation, the philanthropic partner of the Recording Academy, and the Amy Winehouse Foundation. The show will include performances from the Nashville venue, recordings from around the globe and spoken-word dispatches from other musicians.</p>

<p><br />
The showcase in celebration of Winehouse's legacy will feature performances by rocker Chris Daughtry, Nashville-royalty Ana Cristina and John Carter Cash, Broadway’s Joshua Henry, UK rising star Zola Courtney, St. Louis indie rockers Hounds, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Young Summer, Los Angeles-based musician-model Cailin Russo and Cuba’s Sweet Lizzy Project and newcomer Riley Clemmons. All performing artists will be sharing new recordings with a message of promoting positive mental health as part of the tribute.</p>

<p><br />
Marking her presence at the event will be Indian-American Grammy-nominated rapper, singer and songwriter Raja Kumari, who is confirmed to feature on the eclectic performance line-up.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Talking about it, Raja Kumari reportedly said, “I am so honored to be supporting mental health awareness at Back To Amy with MusiCares® and the Amy Winehouse Foundation. This is a topic that is really important to me. I’ve been in therapy for the last year and it’s thoroughly changed my life. I try to talk about it as much as I can because it’s kind of taboo in my culture and people don’t want to get help when they really need it. As musicians especially in the last two years I think our mental health has come to the forefront. Join me in supporting this important cause as we celebrate art, music, empowerment, and Amy's legacy.”<br />

<p>Hollywood filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, who is gearing up for his upcoming release&nbsp;‘Old’, has a thing for India—he was born in the country and<a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/sir-ben-kingsley-freddie-mercury-charli-xcx-hollywood-celebs-you-didnt-know-have-indian-roots-397893"> is of Indian descent</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
So when the topic of him making films in his home country came, he told an entertainment portal that he would like to make ‘one film or at least a &nbsp;part of it’ in India. “It’s an interesting paradox. I feel close to India. My parents are rooted deeply in the culture, while my wife, kids and I have an American side to our lives. My mom and dad want to feed me Indian desserts and pooris every day. That’s just one of the many things that are very Indian in my everyday life. Having said that, I want to make one of my movies, or at least a part of it, in India. I hope that will happen soon,” he was quoted as saying.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
While talking about his inspirations for the movies he makes—mostly from the supernatural genre—Shyamalan said that he is constantly thinking about stories and different ideas. “I spend all my time thinking about stories and being drawn to ideas. They do sometimes find me. ‘Old’ stems from a graphic novel that my daughters gave me for Father’s Day three years ago. When I read the premise about time moving fast on this beach, I thought this was a powerful engine. I always look for an unusual villain, something that’s not normal, like a guy chasing you with a knife. Even if that is the case, it’s set against time running out speedily. Of course, it can’t be just that. Also, my daughters are deep thinkers, well-read and thoughtful women. They are drawn to complex premises and they know that I read a lot. They always try to look for books for me that have these complicated things at the centre. When I think about stories, I look for something that has a thoughtful resonance, has the genre elements to hold the audience and offers a lot to think about years later,” said the director.</p>

<p><br />
Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan, ‘Old’ features Gael García Bernal, Vicky Krieps, Rufus Sewell, Abbey Lee, among others.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Former film producer and convicted felon, Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexual assault and misconduct by several women, is now officially divorced from Georgina Chapman. The divorce was finalised recently in New York City. Chapman announced her separation from the disgraced Hollywood mogul in October of 2017.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
As per reports by American entertainment news websites, the divorced order was signed by a judge on July 8.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Weinstein’s representative, Juda Engelmayer, was reportedly quoted as saying, “Harvey's only thoughts are happiness for his family and the hope that his children are always cared for and happy. He loves them and hopes that they know it, and that one day soon, he can be closer to them.”&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Following the allegations of sexual assault and misconduct by several women, Chapman, a designer by profession, announced in 2017 that she would be divorcing Weinstein. The former couple has two children together—daughter India and son Dashiell.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The pair got married in 2007 and reached a divorce settlement in 2018 wherein Weinstein had to pay USD 15 to 20 million (approx). Chapman also got the primary custody of their kids.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
In a statement, Chapman had said at the time of their separation, "My heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband. Caring for my young children is my first priority and I ask the media for privacy at this time."&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Weinstein had accepted her decision to leave him. “I support her decision, I am in counseling and perhaps, when I am better, we can rebuild. Over the last week, there has been a lot of pain for my family that I take responsibility for… I sat down with my wife Georgina, who I love more than anything, and we discussed what was best for our family. We discussed the possibility of a separation and I encouraged her to do what was in her heart. I understand, I love her and I love our children and hopefully, when I am better, I will be in their lives again,” he had said.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
After the separation, Chapman started dating Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody and the two have made their relationship red-carpet official at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. Rumours of them being together started doing the rounds back in February.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The same month, Weinstein was convicted of third-degree rape and criminal sexual assault in the first degree. He was sentenced to 23 years in prison. As per reports, he is scheduled to be extradited to California from New York to face more charges relating to allegations of rape and sexual assault.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Indian filmmaker, Rahul Jain, whose documentary ‘Invisible Demons’ premiered at the ongoing 74th Cannes Film Festival in France under the ‘Cinema for the Climate’ section of the &nbsp;coveted film festival.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“The film comes from a fear, the kind that a child has when they look at their hands and there's blood and they are confused. It is the same way I feel when you are melting at 50 degrees Celsius or when the AQI (Air Quality Index) is so high that you have to be locked in your home with a mask on. These are really visceral feelings and the fear of these feelings or the terror generated from them is what culminated in the film," he reportedly said in an interview.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>The documentary filmmaker also said that humans do not need to be saved and that it is pretty much the other way round. “The world that we have created is affecting unwilling participants. They are the unwilling spectators to our greed and destruction… It is not a story, it is an experience because I got really sick when I came to Delhi after a long journey. I had all things to protect myself from ecological contact. The intensity of the change was so high and so fast that I felt physically compelled to do what I did, make a film,” he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“I could have made the film about different and bigger regions of the country or the whole country itself. But, I thought that if it is concise and focused on one city, and in particular, the city in question also being in the news for being the most polluted spot on earth consistently for a while, and it also being my hometown, it just felt like the right limit or structure to pursue,” he added.</p>

<p><br />
"I can never control who watches my work. If I am going to spend two or three years on something it better be good and hope people connect with it. I am not trying to please everybody but I do try to reach out to more people," Jain said, while talking about attracting the right kind of viewers with his film on pollution, especially in New Delhi.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Talking about his inspiration and research work, Jain—a California Institute of the Arts graduate—said books such as 'Capital' by Rana Dasgupta, Amitav Ghosh's 'The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable', 'Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World' by Timothy Morton, 'Underland' by Robert Macfarlane helped him with his documentary.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Rahul Jain hopes that his film reaches far and wide as the dialogue around climate change—now stronger than ever—needs more visibility in mainstream media. This is his second after 'Machines', a film based out of&nbsp;a garment factory in Gujarat.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“As a cinema lover, I cannot fathom what to expect but I know it is a big deal because everybody thinks so. Personally, I am relieved as an artist that it is something that I worked on for years and it will have a life and hopefully it will be widely seen. I am glad I had the opportunity to bring this story out (sic),” he concluded.&nbsp;</p>

These are really visceral feelings and the fear of these feelings or the terror generated from them is what culminated in the film," he reportedly said in an interview. The documentary filmmaker also said that humans do not need to be saved and that it is pretty much the other way round. “The world that we have created is affecting unwilling participants. They are the unwilling spectators to our greed and destruction… It is not a story, it is an experience because I got really sick when I came to Delhi after a long journey. I had all things to protect myself from ecological contact. The intensity of the change was so high and so fast that I felt physically compelled to do what I did, make a film,” he said. “I could have made the film about different and bigger regions of the country or the whole country itself. But, I thought that if it is concise and focused on one city, and in particular, the city in question also being in the news for being the most polluted spot on earth consistently for a while, and it also being my hometown, it just felt like the right limit or structure to pursue,” he added. "I can never control who watches my work. If I am going to spend two or three years on something it better be good and hope people connect with it. I am not trying to please everybody but I do try to reach out to more people," Jain said, while talking about attracting the right kind of viewers with his film on pollution, especially in New Delhi. Talking about his inspiration and research work, Jain—a California Institute of the Arts graduate—said books such as 'Capital' by Rana Dasgupta, Amitav Ghosh's 'The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable', 'Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World' by Timothy Morton, 'Underland' by Robert Macfarlane helped him with his documentary. Rahul Jain hopes that his film reaches far and wide as the dialogue around climate change—now stronger than ever—needs more visibility in mainstream media. This is his second after 'Machines', a film based out of a garment factory in Gujarat. “As a cinema lover, I cannot fathom what to expect but I know it is a big deal because everybody thinks so. Personally, I am relieved as an artist that it is something that I worked on for years and it will have a life and hopefully it will be widely seen. I am glad I had the opportunity to bring this story out (sic),” he concluded.

‘Invisible Demons’ comes from fear when you’re melting, says Indian docu maker Rahul Jain about his Cannes entry

<p>"Wes Anderson is here tonight... He arrived on a bicycle made of antique tuba parts," joked Amy Poehler, hosting the Golden Globes a few years back.&nbsp;</p>

<p>And everyone knew what she meant, because no one in film history has been so unblinkingly wedded to a specific off-beat vibe -- from early successes like "The Royal Tenenbaums" through hits like "Fantastic Mr Fox" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" -- as the Texas-born director.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Anderson's new film "The French Dispatch", which premiered Monday at Cannes, takes his style to even more surreal limits, crammed with ornate and madcap imagery in an incredibly elaborate ode to expat journalists and France.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Wes is only getting more Wes-like. (His first films) 'Bottle Rocket' and 'Rushmore' are practically naturalistic compared to where he's at now. Where will it end?" said Sophie Monks Kaufman, who wrote a book about him, "Close Ups: Wes Anderson".</p>

<p>It has been a long wait for "The French Dispatch", which was due to open at last year's Cannes festival before it was cancelled by the pandemic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But the early reviews were gushing on Monday, with The Telegraph calling it his best film ever and "relentlessly wonderful", though IndieWire's Eric Kohn warned it "may divide people as it is, in blunt terms, very Wes Anderson."</p>

<p><strong>Award drought&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>That singular approach has earned Anderson total creative control and an ever-growing menagerie of megastars eager to join his famously convivial sets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Timothee Chalamet and Benicio del Toro are the latest additions, and joined him on the Cannes red carpet along with Anderson regulars Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton and Adrien Brody.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"They do his films because it's fun," British critic Dorian Lynskey told AFP. "He's not a difficult guy and yet has that total aesthetic that you normally associate with difficult directors."</p>

<p>The adulation has not translated into many awards -- Anderson has seven Oscar nominations but zero trophies -- perhaps because he seems to exist in a parallel world to the rest of the film industry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Asked by Entertainment Weekly if he cared about awards, Anderson's own response was: "I would if I won more!"</p>

<p><strong>Broken families&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>"The French Dispatch" shows Anderson heading away from some of the more serious issues that cut through his early films.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He has cited his parents' divorce when he was eight as the defining moment of his childhood, and broken families have been a recurrent theme in his work.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He has returned often to his childhood: filming in his own high school in Houston for "Rushmore", paying homage to youthful infatuations with explorer Jacques Cousteau ("The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou") and Roald Dahl ("Fantastic Mr Fox").&nbsp;</p>

<p>"He seems particularly nostalgic about the age of 12," writes Kaufman. "Wes can remember what it was like to be at that age and overwhelmed by a romantic crush, or when a book could become your whole world."</p>

<p><strong>'My own handwriting' </strong></p>

<p>Many find it all too twee. The winking irony and taste for analogue make him practically the definition of modern hipsterism: "Your barista's favourite director," as one YouTube parody put it.</p>

<p>The style has leaked all over contemporary culture, from home decor to Gucci ads to countless films such as "Paddington" and "Lady Bird".&nbsp;</p>

<p>It has spawned a hit Instagram account of real-life things that ought to be in his films, "Accidentally Wes Anderson", the director's personal favourite being a Croatian pancake stand.</p>

<p>This points to the fact that Anderson is not a cult figure, Kaufman told AFP: "He is too influential for that. He's more like his own cottage industry, and has been so successful at it that he doesn't have to woo the establishment or make a Marvel movie."</p>

<p>Having built his world, he seems content in it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"There were times when I thought I should change my approach, but in fact, this is what I like to do," Anderson told NPR.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It's sort of like my handwriting as a movie director. And somewhere along the way, I think I've made the decision: I'm going to write in my own handwriting."</p>

<p>Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are two of the most well-known names in the entertainment industry and they share a powerful bond not only as family, but also as a team. As guests on Hollywood actor Idris Elba and Sabrina Elba’s audio show ‘Coupledom’, they talk about their experiences in life, business, family, and their television show ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
While talking about their popular television reality series ‘Keeping up with Kardashians’, Kim shares the moment when she introduced her family in the first season and how at that moment she knew she was nothing without them. She respects everyone equally and shares that it was clear from one that the whole family has the same hours, so they would be paid equally. They’ve always celebrated each milestone together, as a family. “I made sure each of us got paid the same,” she said. &nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Kim admitted that she was taking on contradicting work all at the same time. “When we started we were just doing a reality show and that was fun for us, and then all these deals would come in and they were very contradictory. I would do an ad for working out and weight loss and then launching cupcakes at a cupcake store and then a Carl's Jr. ad and they were all out at the same time”, she revealed.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Talking about the blended relationship of mother-daughter and working professionals they share, Kim reveals that she is a workaholic. She can continue discussing work even when Kris switches off her role from manager to mom and has a drink. “I’m a workaholic, I can talk work way more than she can,” said Kim.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Veteran Hollywood filmmaker Robert Downey Sr</strong>, who made the classic film 'Putney Swope' died aged 85. His son, popular actor Robert Downey Jr shared the the news on social media on Tuesday.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The actor revealed in a emotional tribute that his father passed away in his sleep at home in New York City.<br />
<br />
The actor also revealed that Downey Sr had Parkinson's disease for more than five years.<br />
<br />
"He was a true maverick filmmaker, and remained remarkably optimistic throughout. According to my stepmom's calculations, they were happily married for just over 2000 years," he wrote.<br />
<br />
Born on June 24, 1936 in New York City as Robert Elias Jr, the filmmaker changed his name in honour of his stepfather James Downey and also to get enlisted in the US Army early.<br />
<br />
After completing his service, Downey Sr lived with his sister in Greenwich Village, where he fell in love with the underground cinema of that time.<br />
<br />
He started his career with 1961 short film 'Ball's Bluff' which he wrote and directed.<br />
<br />
<strong>Downey Sr followed up the movie </strong>with offbeat indies like 1964's 'Babo 73', 'Chafed Elbows' (1966) and 'No More Excuses' in 1968.<br />
But it was the 1969 movie 'Putney Swope' that brought him recognition.<br />
<br />
An anti-establishment satire, the movie was set in the world of advertising. It featured Arnold Johnson as a Black advertising executive who upends his firm after winning a board election no one expected him to achieve.<br />
<br />
'Putney Swope' was praised for its take on the portrayal of race in Hollywood films, the white power structure, and the nature of corporate corruption.<br />
<br />
Downey Sr then directed 1972's acid western 'Greaser's Palace', which featured actor Allan Arbus as Jesse, a man with amnesia who heals the sick, resurrects the dead and tap dances on water in the American frontier.<br />
<br />
Not just direction but Downey Sr also dabbled in acting and appeared in films like 'To Live and Die in L.A.' and 'Magnolia'.&nbsp;<br />
The veteran director was married three times.<br />
<br />
He married actor Elsie Anne Downey in 1962 and they had two children - Allyson Downey and Robert Downey Jr.<br />
<br />
After his divorce from Anne Downey in 1975, the filmmaker went on to marry actor Laura Ernst, who died in 1994. He later married Rosemary Rogers, the best-selling author.</p>
