There is nothing ace filmmaker Christopher Nolan cannot do to keep things real in his films and his latest revelation about his much-anticipated movie 'Oppenheimer' proves the same. The 52-year-old recently revealed that he recreated the first nuclear weapon detonation without using any VFX or CGI effects for his upcoming movie.

Nolan shared that he favours practical effects over VFX. And, that is quite evident in his work as he once blew up a real Boeing 747 to shoot an important scene for 'Tenet'.

While speaking to Total Film magazine, the director said, "I think recreating the Trinity test (the first nuclear weapon detonation, in New Mexico) without the use of computer graphics was a huge challenge to take on."&nbsp;

"Andrew Jackson, my visual effects supervisor, I got him on board early on, was looking at how we could do a lot of the visual elements of the film practically, from representing quantum dynamics and quantum physics to the Trinity test itself, to recreating, with my team, Los Alamos up on a mesa in New Mexico in extraordinary weather, a lot of which was needed for the film, in terms of the very harsh conditions out there,&nbsp;there were huge practical challenges," Nolan added.

Nolan's film is based on nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was universally regarded as the "father of the atomic bomb". He was also&nbsp;the director of the Manhattan Project, which was a research and development undertaking during World War II that produced the first nuclear weapons.

Speaking further about the film in the interview, Nolan shared that 'Oppenheimer' is a "story of immense scope and scale".

"It's one of the most challenging projects I've ever taken on in terms of the scale of it, and in terms of encountering the breadth of Oppenheimer's story. There were big, logistical challenges, big practical challenges," he shared.

The director continued, "I had an extraordinary crew, and they really stepped up. It will be a while before we're finished. Certainly, as I watch the results come in, and as I'm putting the film together, I'm thrilled with what my team has been able to achieve."

Starring Martin J. Sherwin. Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh, 'Oppenehimer' will hit the theatres on July 21, 2023.

Christopher Nolan recreated first nuclear weapon detonation without VFX for 'Oppenheimer'

Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon, who has earned droves of LGBTQ fans with her appearances in queer-coded films, casually revealed that she is bisexual in an episode of 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon', which aired on television in September.

Speaking candidly to Fallon about her new cat, which she said she got after her dogs died, the actress said, "My little creatures all passed away. I can't talk about it because I still get upset. It was about a year ago. I was feeling sad.. and I said, I can't get another dog. I just can't,' you know? And (my son) said, 'Well, then get cats.' And I'm bi, so..."

Fallon tried to probe further by asking the star, "So you mean you like dogs and cats?" In response, the actress made a tongue-in-cheek comment. She said,&nbsp;&nbsp;"I'm fluid, I'm very fluid where animals are concerned."

Sarandon is one of the most celebrated artists in showbiz and&nbsp;like all movie stars, there have been many rumours surrounding the actress over the years. The most notorious one has always been about her sexuality and with this comment, we can say that she has cleared the air, once and for all.

Back in 2017, the actress told LGBTQ news outlet 'Pride Source' that her sexual orientation is open.&nbsp;"My sexual orientation is up for grabs, I guess you could say,"&nbsp;she said at the time.&nbsp;

Coming to her professional front, the actress was last seen on the silver screen in the 2021 film 'Ride the Eagle'. The comedy film was helmed by Trent O'Donnell, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jake Johnson.&nbsp;

The actress will be next seen in 'Blue Beetle', which is a superhero film based on the DC Comics character Jaime Reyes aka Blue Beetle. The film is directed by Angel Manuel Soto and also stars Xolo Maridueña, Bruna Marquezine, Belissa Escobedo, George Lopez, Adriana Barraza, Elpidia Carrillo, Damián Alcázar, and Raoul Trujillo.

Susan Sarandon casually comes out as bisexual on Jimmy Fallon show: 'I'm bi.. so?'

Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence recently sat down with one of the most renowned actresses of tinsel town, Viola Davis, for an episode of Variety's Actors on Actors. The two shared their thoughts on their craft, the state of female stars in films, motherhood and a lot more. However, one comment by Lawrence received wide criticism online and she got brutally trolled.

Speaking with Davis about her film 'The Woman King', Lawrence made a comment about female action heroes which didn't sit down well with many. She said, "I remember when I was doing 'Hunger Games', nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work - because we were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead."

She added, "And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through every one of those beliefs, and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies. To keep certain people in the same positions that they've always been in."

As the conversation aired, many quickly disagreed with Lawrence for saying that there were no female action movie leads before her.

In response to the interview, Franklin Leonard, founder of The Black List, tweeted, "It is untrue that no one had ever put a woman in an action movie before Jennifer Lawrence in 'Hunger Games'."

Leonard added, "It is absolutely true that Hollywood had and has a real bias against women-driven action movies because of this ridiculous belief about who identifies with whom."

Meanwhile, reacting to Lawrence's claims, netizens started referencing Sigourney Weaver for her role in the 'Alien' franchise, Linda Hamilton for her role in 'Terminator' movies and Pam Grier for her role in 'Foxy Brown'.

A few even gave references of Michelle Yeoh from 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and&nbsp;Angelina Jolie from 'Tomb Raider'&nbsp;movies, who had several action scenes in their films.

One user tweeted, "My point is that her statement was objectively not true. You can look it up yourself. There's been tons of action films starring women. Y'all just wanna pat yourselves on the back, like Jennifer Lawrence broke some kind of barrier. She didn't! (sic)"&nbsp;

Another wrote, "Jennifer Lawrence claiming she's the first ever strong female lead in any action film in the history of Hollywood is about the most self-centred thing I've heard out of Hollywood in at least 3 days. I mean come on. There's been hundreds that did far more in action films than her."

'Mickey 17' teaser and release date: Robert Pattinson's intriguing first look impresses fans

'House of the Dragon' star Steve Toussaint, who plays the role of Lord Corlys in the 'Game of Thrones' prequel, has made some revelations about the upcoming season of the popular HBO series. He spoke about an all-out war between the Hightowers and Rhaenyra and shared that some really good surprises are in store for the fans.

In a candid interaction, the actor spoke about Lord Corlys' mindset after the culmination of season one of the show. "I think pretty much, as is indicated at the end of this last season, is the fact that he decided whatever I may think about Rhaenyra personally, that she is the rightful heir to the throne. The land grab the Hightowers have done is treacherous, and they need to be made to pay for that," Toussaint said.

"Plus… the fact is my grandson has been killed. Even though we know he’s not my grandson, but he’s my grandson. So, I think that’s kind of where he’s at, and that has to be paid for."

The fate of the Hightowers is still unclear but seeing the growing support for their Green party, we can say that it won't be easy for Rhaenyra to claim the crown and be the Queen of the seven kingdoms. As for Lord Corlys, he has pledged his allegiance to Rhaenyra and he will fight beside her until his last breath.&nbsp;

Sharing what the second season has in store, the actor revealed that there will be an "all-out war" between the two parties trying to prove their claims to the throne. "I actually haven’t seen any scripts yet,"&nbsp;Toussaint said before adding, “But, I’ve been told some good stuff’s gonna happen. It’s gonna be incredible."

Mentioning the upcoming 'Game of Thrones' fan convention that will take place at the Los Angeles Convention Centre from December 9 to 11, Toussaint revealed that he is excited to meet Kit Harington aka Jon Snow and Alfie Allen aka Theon Greyjoy.

Addressing the loyal fans of GOT, the actor said, "The show is a success because of them. We are lucky enough to put something out that they liked, and they supported it.

'House of the Dragon' star Steve Toussaint, who plays the role of Lord Corlys in the 'Game of Thrones' prequel, has made some revelations about the upcoming season of the popular HBO series.

'House of the Dragon' star Steve Toussaint, who plays the role of Lord Corlys in the 'Game of Thrones' prequel, has made some revelations about the upcoming season of the popular HBO series. He spoke about an all-out war between the Hightowers and Rhaenyra and shared that some really good surprises are in store for the fans. In a candid interaction, the actor spoke about Lord Corlys' mindset after the culmination of season one of the show. "I think pretty much, as is indicated at the end of this last season, is the fact that he decided whatever I may think about Rhaenyra personally, that she is the rightful heir to the throne. The land grab the Hightowers have done is treacherous, and they need to be made to pay for that," Toussaint said. "Plus… the fact is my grandson has been killed. Even though we know he’s not my grandson, but he’s my grandson. So, I think that’s kind of where he’s at, and that has to be paid for." The fate of the Hightowers is still unclear but seeing the growing support for their Green party, we can say that it won't be easy for Rhaenyra to claim the crown and be the Queen of the seven kingdoms. As for Lord Corlys, he has pledged his allegiance to Rhaenyra and he will fight beside her until his last breath. Sharing what the second season has in store, the actor revealed that there will be an "all-out war" between the two parties trying to prove their claims to the throne. "I actually haven’t seen any scripts yet," Toussaint said before adding, “But, I’ve been told some good stuff’s gonna happen. It’s gonna be incredible."

Addressing the loyal fans of GOT, the actor said, "The show is a success because of them. We are lucky enough to put something out that they liked, and they supported it. They delve very deeply into it and they come up with theories and stuff like that, so it’s great. I think, sometimes, it’s a bit daunting because they know more about it than we do."

'House of the Dragon' season 2: Steve Toussaint asks fans to get ready for an 'all-out war'

Oscar-nominated producer Joey McFarland, who has bankrolled Will Smith's historical action film 'Emancipation', recently took to social media and apologised for carrying the original photo of the enslaved man who inspired his latest film at its premiere. He shared that his intent was to honour the remarkable man and not to be disrespectful in any way.&nbsp;

“I wholeheartedly apologise to everyone I have offended by bringing a photograph of Peter to the Emancipation premiere,” the producer said in an apology letter on Sunday. “My intent was to honour this remarkable man and to remind the general public that his image is not only brought about change in 1863 but still resonates and promotes change today.”&nbsp;

“After uncovering Peter’s origin story with help from diligent historians, I spent the last few years working with the Emancipation creative time in order to bring his story to life so worldwide audiences would have an opportunity to appreciate his heroism. I hope my actions don’t distract from the film’s message, Peter’s story and just how much impact he had on the world,” McFarland continued.

The producer added, “Throughout the research and development of Emancipation, I discovered photographs of overlooked and historically important individuals whose stories also needed to be told. One photograph, of Martin Delaney, is on loan to the National Portrait Gallery and is currently on exhibit. My plan was always to donate the photographs to the appropriate institution, in consultation with the community, and I believe there is no better time to begin that process than now.”&nbsp;

Sophia Brown and Laurence O'Fuarain will be seen playing two warriors estranged from their opposing clans in the film, while Michelle Yeoh will be seen portraying Scian, a sword master, the last of her tribe. Mirren Mack on the other hand is seen as Princess Merwyn in the series.

'The Witcher: Blood Origin' trailer gives a glimpse of monoliths trying to cause tears between worlds

Filmmaker duo Joe and Anthony Russo’s production banner AGBO will produce a new Prime Video series, detailing the rise and fall of the cryptocurrency platform FTX.

According to the entertainment news website The Hollywood Reporter, the show will be penned by David Weil, who had earlier created Hunters for the streaming service.

The Russos, known for many Marvel blockbusters such as Captain America: Civil War and two Avengers films, are expected to direct the first episode.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2022: Mariah Carey, Paula Abdul, Sean Paul and other celebs in attendance

Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, in a recent interview, opened up about working with Ryan Coogler in the 'Black Panther' sequel 'Wakanda Forever'. Before sharing her on-set experience with the filmmaker, Arkapaw revealed that she was introduced to Coogler by her friend and cinematographer Bradford Young at a time when Coogler was looking for a DoP for 'Creed'. Even though the two couldn't collaborate for 'Creed', they joined hands for the Marvel film. &nbsp;

Praising Coogler for his work ethic, the cinematographer said, "So what’s great about Ryan, and not every director does this, is that he asked that I be brought on for prep. So before I was on the ground in Atlanta, he involved me in his storyboard and pre-vis meetings. So I would be involved in those via zoom, and that was probably the first thing we did together."

She added, "It’s not my favourite thing. But anything that will help the director, producers, and everybody on the set feels more comfortable is great. Because you have costume, production design, SFX, and stunts, they all want a global idea of what we are trying to execute. And so when you can give them a slight framework, it just helps them do their job better. And then also you can change it. It’s not set in stone. It’s just giving you an idea, and what’s great about Ryan is that we did all this boarding, but he’s still very collaborative. So we’re still very open to adjusting it on the day."

Meanwhile, Coogler,&nbsp;on Thursday, penned a thank you note for all the people who reached theatres to watch 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and showed their support for the movie. In a long note shared by production house Marvel Studios on their official Instagram handle,&nbsp;Coogler said that seeing the love the movie is receiving, he is filled with gratitude.

“Gratitude. That is the only word that comes to my mind for your support of our work on the film Black Panther Wakanda Forever. I am filled with it,” Ryan wrote.

To thank all the fans who watched the movie, he wrote, “Thank you. Thank you to the people bought their tickets early and camped out opening weekend. Thank you to those of you who took their families and young ones and elders in tow. To those who organised youth screenings and afterparties, who bought theatres for communities and friends. To all of you, who watched multiple times and encouraged other folks to check it out.”

Remembering actor Chadwick Boseman, Coogler added, “We made something to honour our friend, who was a giant in our industry, and we also made something to be enjoyed in a theatrical sitting with friends, family and strangers.” Take a look!

Joe Jonas, Glenn Powell-starrer Korean war drama 'Devotion' gets new release date in India

Wilko Johnson, the guitarist with British blues-rock band Dr Feelgood who had an unexpected career renaissance after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, has died. He was 75.

A statement posted Wednesday on Johnson’s official social media accounts on behalf of his family said the musician died Monday evening at his home in southeast England.

Born John Wilkinson in 1947, Johnson was raised on Canvey Island, a marshy, industrial oil town in England’s River Thames estuary. He studied Anglo-Saxon literature at Newcastle University and worked as a schoolteacher before forming Dr Feelgood with other local friends.

At a time of flamboyant glam and indulgent prog rock, they played a then-unfashionable brand of blues and R&amp;B, dressed in cheap suits that made them look, Johnson said later, like “shoddy bank robbers.”

Johnson helped give Dr Feelgood a dangerous edge with his choppy, relentless guitar style and thousand-yard glare — a look terrifying enough to earn him a role later in life as silent executioner Ser Ilyn Payne on 'Game of Thrones'.

The anarchic outfit inspired bands who would soon drive the U.K. punk explosion, and teetered on the edge of global fame, scoring a U.K. No. 1 album, tours of the U.S. and a deal with CBS records. Then in 1977, Johnson walked out amid friction with charismatic lead singer Lee Brilleaux, who died in 1994.

Johnson later said that if the band had been able to follow its managers’ instructions to behave, “I’m pretty sure we’d be multimillionaires. But we didn’t. We were geezers from Canvey Island. We were great friends, and we fell out.”

Johnson went on to perform with Ian Dury’s band, the Blockheads, and spent years playing to a devoted fanbase, largely in the U.K. and Japan.

In 2012, Johnson was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was told it was terminal. The prospect of death unexpectedly revived his creative energies. He declined chemotherapy, decided to go on one last tour, and recorded a “final” album, 'Going Back Home',&nbsp;with Roger Daltrey of The Who.

“I suddenly found myself in a position where nothing matters anymore,” he told the Associated Press in 2013. “I’m a miserable so-and-so normally. ... I’d be worrying about the taxman or all the things that we worry about that get in the way of the real things. And suddenly it doesn’t matter. All of that doesn’t matter.

“You walk down the street and you feel intensely alive. You’re `Oh, look at that leaf!′ You’re looking around and you think, `I’m alive. Ain’t it amazing?’”

In another twist, a fan who was also a cancer specialist offered to help. After surgery to remove a 3-kilogram (6.6-pound) tumour, Johnson announced in 2014 he was cancer-free. He released another album, “Blow Your Mind,” in 2018, and played gigs with his Wilko Johnson Band until last month.

Daltrey paid tribute to “the uncompromising Bard of Canvey.”

“More than anything Wilko wanted to be a poet,” he said. “I was lucky to have known him and have him as a friend. His music lives on but there’s no escaping the final curtain this time.”

Johnson is survived by his sons Simon and Matthew and grandson Dylan.

'Game of Thrones' actor Wilko Johnson dies at 75

After making a shocking return as Disney's chief executive, Bob Iger is all set to make some major changes in the firm to boost growth and make it profitable. In less than 24 hours of his return to the helm of Disney, Iger told its employees that the company will be undergoing a major restructuring in the coming weeks and that they should be ready for the same. He also sent out a letter by email to talk about his return and shared what's in store for the next two years.

In a memo addressed to Disney employees, Iger also announced the departure of Kareem Daniel, the company’s head of media and entertainment and right hand to former CEO Bob Chapek, in a move to put forth a "new structure that puts more decision-making back in the hands of our creative teams and rationalizes costs".

"This will necessitate a reorganization of Disney Media &amp; Entertainment Distribution. As a result, Kareem Daniel will be leaving the company," Iger revealed in a memo obtained by CNBC.

"Our goal is to have the new structure in place in the coming months. Without question, elements of DMED will remain, but I fundamentally believe that storytelling is what fuels this company, and it belongs at the center of how we organize our businesses," Iger added. "This is a moment of great change and opportunity for our company as we begin our second century."

During his three-year tenure as CEO, Chapek had reorganized the company to establish the DMED division and consolidate budgetary power for Disney’s content and distribution divisions under Daniel and Iger's latest decision marked the swift undoing of the same.

Here's the full text of Iger's memo!

<blockquote>
Dear DMED Employees,

As we embark on the transformative work that I mentioned to you in my email last night, I want to begin by offering my sincere appreciation and gratitude to each and every one of you.

Over the coming weeks, we will begin implementing organizational and operating changes within the company. It is my intention to restructure things in a way that honors and respects creativity as the heart and soul of who we are. As you know, this is a time of enormous change and challenges in our industry, and our work will also focus on creating a more efficient and cost-effective structure.

I’ve asked Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, Jimmy Pitaro, and Christine McCarthy to work together on the design of a new structure that puts more decision-making back in the hands of our creative teams and rationalizes costs, and this will necessitate a reorganization of Disney Media &amp; Entertainment Distribution. As a result, Kareem Daniel will be leaving the company, and I hope you will all join me in thanking him for his many years of service to Disney.&nbsp;

Our goal is to have the new structure in place in the coming months. Without question, elements of DMED will remain, but I fundamentally believe that storytelling is what fuels this company, and it belongs at the center of how we organize our businesses.&nbsp;

This is a moment of great change and opportunity for our company as we begin our second century, and I am so proud to be leading this team again. I can’t say it enough: I’m incredibly grateful for the tremendous work you do each day, and for your commitment to maintaining the level of excellence Disney has always been known for.

I know change can be unsettling, but it is also necessary and even energizing, and so I ask for your patience as we develop a roadmap for this restructuring. More information will be shared over the coming weeks. Until a new structure is put in place, we will continue to operate under our existing structure. In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and thank you again for all you do.

Bob
</blockquote>

Iger has been rehired by&nbsp;Disney's board of directors for a period of two years. Before handing the reins to Chapek, he ruled over the company for 15 years until 2020.

Disney CEO Bob Iger begins major shake-up in less than 24 hours of his return

Since June, it was being speculated that reality TV star Kendall Jenner and basketball player Devin Booker have called it quits. However, the two never commented on the same and kept quiet about their relationship status. Now, new sources have come forward to claim that the couple parted ways last month and they are no longer dating each other.

But let's be clear, there's no bad blood between the two. After dating for almost two years, they amicably decided to break up due to "bad timing" and they only have love and respect for each other.

"Both have incredibly busy schedules right now with their careers and they've decided to make that a priority," a source told PEOPLE.&nbsp;While Jenner is busy promoting her 818 tequila line and focusing on her booming modelling career, Booker is trying to focus on his skills for NBA.

Another source told PEOPLE, "They have a lot of love and respect for each other and wish only the best."

Anne Heche's ex Thomas Jane is seeking repayment of a loan he gave to the 'Cedar Rapids' actress, who tragically died in a car accident in August this year. Jane has filed a claim against Heche's estate and according to new court filings obtained by a publication, he is seeking around $150,000.&nbsp;

According to a report by PEOPLE, Heche had allegedly taken a loan of $157,000 from Jane, which she promised to repay in $10,000 monthly instalments beginning in August 2021. However, according to the court filings, Jane claims that the actress stopped making payments after the initial two instalments.&nbsp;

Jane claims he is now owed $137,000 in principal, $9,814.79 in interest and $2,291.85 in late charges.&nbsp;As part of their agreement, Jane alleged that the actress was supposed to pay 30% of her income every time she received payment of more than $15,000. She was also asked to keep him notified of upcoming professional work.

The 53-year-old Emmy winner crashed her car into a house on August 5 in the Mar Vista neighbourhood of Los Angeles. She breathed her last on August 11.

Following Heche's death, Jane gave a statement to The Daily Mail and offered his "thoughts and prayers", calling her "one of the true talents of her generation".

'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' hits $500 million mark at global box office

Finneas O'Connell has finally broken his silence on his sister Billie Eilish's relationship with Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, who went public with their relationship earlier this month. Speaking candidly to a publication, he said that he just wants his sister to be happy with whoever she chooses to be with.

"Listen, as long as she's happy, I'm happy," Finneas told E! News at a GQ event for its Men of the Year issue on Thursday.

Rumours of Eilish dating the 31-year-old musician had been doing rounds for months, however, the couple made things official with their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala 2022, wearing coordinated Gucci pyjama looks.

Photos of the two went viral in no time with some fans gushing over their adorable bond and others criticising the two for their 11-year age gap.

Around the time of Halloween,&nbsp;Eilish and Rutherford poked fun at their age gap by dressing up as a baby and an old man. While the 'Bad Guy' singer turned into a toddler wearing a bib and bonnet, Rutherford posed as an old man, donning a brown cardigan, suspenders and a bald cap.

Finneas O'Connell has finally broken his silence on his sister Billie Eilish's relationship with Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, who went public with their relationship earlier this month.

Finneas O'Connell has finally broken his silence on his sister Billie Eilish's relationship with Neighbourhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, who went public with their relationship earlier this month. Speaking candidly to a publication, he said that he just wants his sister to be happy with whoever she chooses to be with. "Listen, as long as she's happy, I'm happy," Finneas told E! News at a GQ event for its Men of the Year issue on Thursday. Rumours of Eilish dating the 31-year-old musician had been doing rounds for months, however, the couple made things official with their red carpet debut at the LACMA Art + Film Gala 2022, wearing coordinated Gucci pyjama looks. Photos of the two went viral in no time with some fans gushing over their adorable bond and others criticising the two for their 11-year age gap. Around the time of Halloween, Eilish and Rutherford poked fun at their age gap by dressing up as a baby and an old man. While the 'Bad Guy' singer turned into a toddler wearing a bib and bonnet, Rutherford posed as an old man, donning a brown cardigan, suspenders and a bald cap.

Billie Eilish's brother Finneas reacts to her relationship with Jesse Rutherford

In Hollywood, he's the rising star of the sequel to 'Black Panther',&nbsp;the first major Black superhero movie. In his homeland Mexico, Tenoch Huerta is leading a fight against racism on the screen. The 41-year-old aims to use his growing fame to break the tradition of Mexican actors of Indigenous origin being cast in the roles of thieves and villains.

Playing the character of Namor the Sub-Mariner in Marvel Studios' 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever',&nbsp;Huerta joins a small club of international Mexican stars such as Salma Hayek, Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna.

The path to Hollywood was strewn with pitfalls for Huerta, who hails from a working-class suburb of Mexico City.

"Like thousands of dark-skinned people, I've been called names" such as "dirty Indian," he wrote in his new book "Orgullo Prieto" (Brown Pride).

"Mexico is a country that's racist and denies it," he added.

Huerta said it is a myth that Mexico today is a mixed-race country where skin colour is unimportant.

"This is how we deny the cultural and linguistic diversity of all Indigenous nations, Afro-descendant communities, Asians," he wrote.

Huerta, who also played infamous drug trafficker Rafael Caro Quintero in the Netflix hit 'Narcos: Mexico',&nbsp;criticized the way of thinking "that places white, modern, Western, on a higher level."

- 'Racist narratives' -

Even before "Black Panther," Huerta was the figurehead of "Poder Prieto" (Brown Power), a collective of actresses and actors who feel discriminated against because of their origin and their skin colour.

"We're only given characters of delinquents, domestic workers, or the poor," said Christel Klitbo, 40, who is of Danish, African and Lebanese descent.

Aware of the powerful influence of the media, Huerta said he and the other group members see a "compelling need to change racist narratives and practices, which have been normalized, reproduced and perpetuated in the audiovisual industry."

Huerta hopes that his appearance in 'Black Panther' -- which also stars Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o, who was born in Mexico to Kenyan parents -- will help their struggle.

"The perception changes if we have these dark-skinned actors, of clearly Indigenous descent, in positions of power and influence, who are kings and great warriors," he said.

Huerta also wants to see changes in wider Mexican customs, such as the popular saying still heard in some homes that daughters should marry a white man to "improve the race."

While he is in favour of laws against racism, Huerta avoids commenting on the policies of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's party, which has pledged to "restore the dignity" of Indigenous peoples.

"I believe that the demands of the Indigenous peoples have not been met. But this is a subject that does not concern me because I am not Indigenous," he said Friday at his book launch.

"As a simple external observer, I believe that we could do more and better," he added.

Mexico is home to 23.2 million people over the age of three who identify as Indigenous, representing 19.4 per cent of the population, according to the national statistics agency INEGI.

Around one in five Mexican adults said they had experienced discrimination over the past year, mainly because of their skin colour, in the first national survey on the subject in 2O17.&nbsp;

And three-quarters of Indigenous people felt undervalued by Mexican society.

"We are a new link in a chain that dates back 500 years. All the struggles have been the same for 500 years," Huerta concluded, referring to the Spanish conquest and fall of the Aztec empire in 1521.

Mexico's 'Black Panther' star fights racism at home

After conducting a year-long investigation into the fatal on-set 'Rust' shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office released a 551-page report detailing its investigation into the case. And, despite painting a picture of throes of chaos unfolding on the&nbsp;set before the deadly tragedy took place on October 21, 2021, the report did not answer one fundamental question: Who brought&nbsp;live ammunition to&nbsp;the set without permission and how did it get into the gun Alec Baldwin was rehearsing with that day?

Among the documents released by the sheriff's office were accounts of witness interviews, including star Alec Baldwin, and messages and emails from the cast and crew members of the film that stand proof of the chaotic and acrimonious conditions that unfolded on the 'Rust' set prior to Hutchins' death.

The documents, however,&nbsp;offered no conclusive answers on how live ammunition got onto the film set and into a replica Colt .45-caliber revolver that was allegedly fired by Baldwin. For those unaware, Baldwin was handed the gun during the rehearsal at a ranch outside Santa Fe.

Baldwin is among the four people who could face criminal charges for the death of the cinematographer, claimed New Mexico District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies in September.&nbsp;

Baldwin has denied responsibility for Hutchins' death and has claimed that live rounds should never have been allowed onto the movie set.

In police interviews and lawsuit filings, the film's armourer, first assistant director, prop supplier and prop master all denied culpability for the shooting. New Mexico's worker safety agency in April fined the film's production company the maximum amount possible for what it described as "willful" safety lapses leading to Hutchins' death.

An FBI report said five live bullets were found on a props trolley and in a bandolier and holster near the movie-set church where Hutchins was shot. The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office said it will release more files on the case by Dec. 20. It was unclear when charges might be filed.

'Rust' fatal shooting report by New Mexico sheriff details chaotic and acrimonious conditions on set

If rumours and reports are anything to go by, Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde are no longer dating each other and they have decided to hit the brakes on their relationship to focus on their priorities. The decision was made amicably by the two and they are still friends, suggests the report.&nbsp;

Quoting multiple sources, a publication reported that the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer is currently touring across the world, while the 'Don't Worry Darling' director is juggling between her work and kids in Los Angeles.

"It's a very amicable decision," a source told PEOPLE. While another said, "They're still very close friends," to which, a friend of the two stars added, "Right now, they have different priorities that are keeping them apart."

Before the separation rumours started doing rounds, Wilde was spotted dancing and singing at Styles' November&nbsp;15 concert in Los Angeles with her daughter Daisy and son Otis, who she co-parents with ex-fiancé Jason Sudeikis.

Styles and Wilde were first linked in January 2021. Rumours of their relationship started doing rounds when they were photographed holding hands at a friend's wedding. The two never confirmed their relationship while they filmed 'Don't Worry Darling' and often shared that they like to keep their dating lives private.

Back in August, Styles told Rolling Stones, "I've never talked about my life away from work publicly and found that it's benefited me positively. There's always going to be a version of a narrative, and I think I just decided I wasn't going to spend the time trying to correct it or redirect it in some way."

Wilde, in a candid conversation with Vanity Fair, previously explained why she keeps details of her romance with her partners private. She said, "I think once you crack open the window, you can't then be mad when mosquitos come in."

Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde 'taking a break' from dating after nearly 2 years: Report

American pop sensation Taylor Swift, on Friday, addressed the widespread criticism&nbsp;over Ticketmaster's handling of ticket sales for her The Eras tour. In a social media post, she slammed the company for the chaotic ticket sale that landed them in an antitrust investigation by the US justice department,&nbsp;writing that it was "excruciating" to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse.&nbsp;The investigation will look into whether Ticketmaster's parent company Live Nation Entertainment has abused its power in the multibillion-dollar live entertainment industry and to which extent.

Swift's statement read, "Well. It goes without saying that I’m extremely protective of my fans. We’ve been doing this for decades together and over the years, I’ve brought so many elements of my career in house. I’ve done this SPECIFICALLY to improve the quality of my fans’ experience by doing it myself with my team who care as much about my fans as I do."

The singer continued, "It’s really difficult for me to trust an outside entity with these relationships and loyalties, and excruciating for me to just watch mistakes happen with no recourse."

Speaking of the actions being taken to address the issue, Swift added, "There are a multitude of reasons why people had such a hard time trying to get tickets and I’m trying to figure out how this situation can be improved moving forward."

"I’m not going to make excuses for anyone because we asked them, multiple times, if they could handle this kind of demand and we were assured they could. It’s truly amazing that 2.4 million people got tickets, but it really pisses me off that a lot of them feel like they went through several bear attacks to get them," the 32-year-old stated.

To conclude, she shared a message for her fans who couldn't get their hands on the tickets. "And to those who didn’t get tickets, all I can say is that my hope is to provide more opportunities for us to all get-together and sing these songs. Thank you for wanting to be there. You have no idea how much that means," Swift said.

Ticketmaster, which is considered a dominating force in the US ticketing industry, blamed "extraordinarily high demands and insufficient remaining ticket inventory" for the cancellation of the public sale.

The Eras tour&nbsp;marks Swift's first tour in the last four years. She was on the road, out and about, back in 2018 for the Reputation&nbsp;tour.

The upcoming Swift tour will kickstart on March 17, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona. The singer will visit Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles in early August. International shows and their locations&nbsp;are yet to be announced.

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose Depp likes to stay away from her father's controversies and in a recent interview, she revealed the reason behind the same. Speaking candidly to a publication about her famous father's trial, Lily-Rose&nbsp;stated that she refuses to be defined by the men in her life and that she is entitled to her "secret garden of thoughts".

Talking to Elle magazine, the actress-model shared, "When it’s something that’s so private and so personal that all of a sudden becomes not so personal … I feel really entitled to my secret garden of thoughts."

"I also think that I’m not here to answer for anybody, and I feel like for a lot of my career, people have really wanted to define me by the men in my life, whether that’s my family members or my boyfriends, whatever. I’m really ready to be defined for the things that I put out there,” continued Lily-Rose.

This year, Johnny went to trial against his ex-partner Amber Heard over his alleged abusive behaviour. Even though he won the case, his image had been severely tarnished by the accusations made by Amber, due to which he even lost projects and faced financial crunch.&nbsp;

Lily-Rose also spoke about nepotism and how she feels being called a “nepo baby” by netizens. “I’m familiar,” she said about the accusations, adding, “The internet seems to care a lot about that kind of stuff. People are going to have preconceived ideas about you or how you got there, and I can definitely say that nothing is going to get you the part except for being right for the part."

Lily-Rose also shared that such accusations don’t carry the same weight when we talk about other professions. “If somebody’s mom or dad is a doctor, and then the kid becomes a doctor, you’re not going to be like, ‘Well, you’re only a doctor because your parent is a doctor.’ It’s like, ‘No, I went to medical school and trained,'” she said.

Lily-Rose started her journey in showbiz in 2014.&nbsp;Later, she featured in films like 'Yoga Hosers', 'The Dancer', 'The King', and 'Voyagers' among others.

Aaron Carter's manager Taylor Helgeson has come forward to talk about the singer's last few days before his tragic and sudden death. In a candid conversation with a publication, Aaron’s manager shared that he was taken aback by the 'So Much to Say' singer's frail appearance and was shocked to see him in that state.

The two met just a few days before the singer was found dead at his apartment. They had plans to work on a new album together.

“He looked thin. He was extremely tired. He just looked like he needed to be doing anything but working. He looked like he needed to be taking care of him,” Helgeson,&nbsp;who had been managing Carter for eight months, told Page Six.

“He didn’t seem okay,” Helgeson says before explaining, “Now, when I say that, I think it’s really important to kind of context of that."

“He didn’t seem okay physically … [but] mentally, he was the most excited I’ve seen him in months. He was very intelligent and he was very conscious of what people wanted to see from him,” he added.

“He was a guy with a lot of plans,” the manager continued. “We had so much stuff going on and, you know, Aaron was a really prideful guy in his own right, too. That’s not his style.”

For everyone who had been waiting for the female-fronted 'Pirates of the Caribbean' film, Oscar-nominee Hollywood actress Margot Robbie has sad news! The diva recently announced that the movie, which was announced in June 2020, has been shelved and will not be moving forward at Disney.&nbsp;

In a new Vanity Fair cover story, the 'Birds of Prey' actress made the shocking revelation regarding the film, which would have been written by her screenwriter Christina Hodson.

Speaking to the publication, she said, “We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would’ve been really cool. But I guess they don’t want to do it.”

Back in 2020, it was first reported that the Robbie-starrer&nbsp;'Pirates of the Caribbean' film&nbsp;is in early development at Disney along with a second reboot written by Ted Elliott and Craig Mazin.&nbsp;Later, this year in May, Jerry Bruckheimer, who has produced all five 'Pirates'&nbsp;movies, spoke to&nbsp;The Sunday Times and revealed&nbsp;that both films were in development.

"Yes. We’re talking to Margot Robbie. We are developing two Pirates scripts — one with her, one without,” Bruckheimer told the publication when asked about the future of the 'Pirates'&nbsp;franchise.

Just a few days after declaring that Oscar-winning screenwriter Paul Haggis is guilty of sexual assault in a civil rape trial, a&nbsp;New York jury&nbsp;ordered him to&nbsp;pay an additional $2.5 million in damages to the accuser Haleigh Breest, bringing the total to $10 million.&nbsp;Last week on Thursday, he was found guilty of all three counts of rape and sexual abuse, following a two-week trial in Manhattan.&nbsp;

While Breest’s lawyers called the verdict "just", Haggis maintained&nbsp;that he had been falsely accused by the publicist and that their encounters were consensual. He added that he has been financially ruined by fighting the civil case but vowed to appeal to clear his name.

"I can’t live with lies like this. I will die clearing my name," Haggis said as he left court.

According to Breest's statement, Haggis raped her and forced her to perform oral sex in his New York apartment in 2013,&nbsp;when she was just 26 years old.&nbsp;

As jurors returned to court on Monday to hear testimony about Haggis’ finances and decide how much more he’d have to pay to the accuser, they got a quick course in movie financing as Haggis was questioned about his earnings from films like 'Crash'&nbsp;and 'Million Dollar Baby'.

While speaking about the complexities of screenwriting compensation, Haggis and his attorneys estimated that throughout his career he’s made somewhere around&nbsp;$25 million&nbsp;before taxes, agents’ and other representatives’ fees and asset splits with his two ex-wives.

During Monday’s hearing, the 69-year-old filmmaker said that he’d suffered various financial losses in the last few years and that Breest’s lawsuit has wiped him out. He also stated that his legal bills have reached $2.6 million&nbsp;while his career has abruptly dried up.

“I’ve spent all the money I have at my disposal. I’ve gutted my pension plan, I’ve lived on loans, in order to pay for this case in a very naïve belief in justice,” he said outside court.

Meanwhile, Breest’s lawyers questioned Haggis’ claims of being broke. “Nothing Paul Haggis says can be trusted,” attorney Ilann Maazel said.&nbsp;

The 36-year-old publicist previously&nbsp;said that she has suffered both professional and psychological harm from what happened in 2013, following a movie premiere. And, she declined to make any further comments on Monday.

After the initial verdict came on Thursday, she said that she appreciates “the opportunity to seek justice and accountability in court and that the jury chose to follow the facts, and believed" her.

Haggis wasn’t criminally charged in the matter.

Co-creator of the 1986 ABC sitcom 'Head of the Class' and Emmy-winning screenwriter Richard Eustis passed away on October 30 in Thousand Oaks, California, at the age of 86.

According to Variety, together with writer and director Michael Elias, Eustis made up one-half of the creative duo Eustis and Elias, which produced the high school sitcom, which had five seasons from 1986 to 1991. The program followed a group of talented high school students participating in the Individualized Honors Program at Millard Fillmore High School, a fictional high school in Manhattan played by Howard Hesseman.

Billy Connolly, who played Billy MacGregor, the character played by the actor who departed the show before its fifth season, took his position. In 1992, Connolly’s efforts led to the network giving him a spin-off show called ‘Billy,’ which Eustis and Elias co-created and lasted for 13 episodes.

As per a report by Variety, HBO Max, created by Amy Pocha and Seth Cohen, gave the original show a rebirth in 2021. Before HBO stated in December of the previous year that it would not be pushing forward with a second season, the reboot series ran for one ten-episode season on the streamer, releasing the full season at once on Nov. 4.

Eustis wrote episodes of various television programs, including 'Scrubs',&nbsp;'Tall Hopes',&nbsp;'Eye to Eye',&nbsp;and others. Before teaming up with creative partner Elias, he began his career in television writing for performers Dean Martin and John Denver on variety shows. For 'An Evening with John Denver'&nbsp;in 1975, Eustis received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special.

In Vancouver, British Columbia, on November 21, 1935, Eustis was born. Before relocating to Los Angeles to begin his career in television, he previously worked as a journalist and was hailed as a football star in his youth.

According to Variety, Eustis is survived by his wife, Tiana, sons John and Ronald, daughter Madeleine, son-in-law Marcel Samek, grandson Julian Eustis Samek and granddaughters Colette Eustis Samek and Linh Eustis. His daughter-in-law, Oanh Ly, is also a television writer and producer. He is preceded in death by his eldest daughter Sandy Eustis, who was a script supervisor.&nbsp;

British actress and model Elizabeth Hurley recently came forward to talk about her 'Serving Sara' co-star Matthew Perry and how his addiction affected the shoot of the 2002 film. After the publication of Perry's memoir 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing', which is filled with anecdotes about his personal and professional life, the 57-year-old diva is the most recent A-lister to talk about the 'Friends' star's battle with substance abuse.

First, she revealed that she&nbsp;has partially read Perry's memoir and is yet to finish the book.&nbsp;She also complimented Perry for being a great writer and comedian. "I haven't actually read the book yet, but I've read [excerpts] of it," Hurley told Yahoo. "It's quite interesting," she added. "He's a very funny writer like he's a very funny man. He's an incredibly gifted comedian ... his way with words is fantastic."

Hurley also spoke about the temporary shutdown of the 2002 film,&nbsp;in which Perry played&nbsp;a process server tasked with delivering divorce papers to Hurley's character.&nbsp;"I have very fond memories of him. To be honest, it was a nightmare working with him at that time and, as it's now known, our movie was shut down because of his addiction," the actress said.

"We were in a force majeure and had to all sit at home twiddling our thumbs for some time," Hurley continued. "It was tough, obviously he was having a tough time, but he was still very charming and a lovely person to work with. But you could see he was suffering for sure."

Perry had revealed in his memoir ‘Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing’ that production on ‘Serving Sara’ had to be suspended as he was in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse.

While Perry attempted to “make real amends” for his past behaviour by re-recording lines he had previously “slurred” and committing to making a significant promotional effort for the movie, it “tanked anyhow,” he wrote in his book.

Despite Perry’s personal struggles affecting the production of 'Serving Sara', Hurley noted that she has “very fond memories of him.”

Elizabeth Hurley says working with Matthew Perry during his addiction was a 'nightmare'

On Friday, Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin filed a negligence lawsuit against the armourer and three crew members of 'Rust' over the shocking&nbsp;killing of&nbsp;cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western film.

Filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court,&nbsp;Baldwin's suit is a photo and email-heavy cross-complaint for negligence and indemnification that names&nbsp;armourer Hannah Gutierrez Reed,&nbsp;first assistant director David Halls, property master&nbsp;Sarah Zachry, and weapons &amp; rounds supplier Seth Kenney and his company as defendants.

All four were also named as defendants along with Baldwin in the original lawsuit filed by a script supervisor who claimed the shooting caused her severe emotional distress.

Several other litigations have stemmed&nbsp;from the tragedy that occurred on the sets of 'Rust' on October&nbsp;21, 2021, which is also under criminal investigation and could result in New Mexico state charges.

Attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed, Halls and Kenney have not yet&nbsp;responded to requests for statements in their clients' defence.&nbsp;

Baldwin's cross-complaint&nbsp;seeks damages, which are to be determined at trial, for the "immense grief" he endured due to the incident and the losses he faced.&nbsp;The suit was filed by Luke Nikas, an attorney for Baldwin who works with the firm Quinn Emanuel.

"This tragedy happened because live bullets were delivered to the set and loaded into the gun, Gutierrez-Reed failed to check the bullets or the gun carefully, Halls failed to check the gun carefully and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly off sets and was a safety risk to those around her," Baldwin's cross-complaint stated.

For the uninitiated, Hutchins was killed when a revolver assigned to Baldwin for rehearsal&nbsp;fired a live round that hit her and movie director Joel Souza during the 'Rust' film shooting in New Mexico.

In an interview, Baldwin maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the Colt .45 revolver and it fired after he cocked it. Meanwhile, an FBI forensic test of the single-action revolver found that it "functioned normally" and would not fire without the trigger being pulled.

Alec Baldwin sues ‘Rust’ crew for damages, ‘clearing his name’ in fatal set shooting

As per the latest development in the 'Top Gun' copyright lawsuit, Paramount's motion to dismiss the case has been denied by the court and the case will continue to be heard in front of the judge.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Percy Anderson found that there are enough similarities between the film and the 1983 magazine article upon which the original 'Top Gun' was based, which allowed the author's heirs to pursue the copyright violation&nbsp;lawsuit.

"Defendant’s primary argument in its Motion to Dismiss is that Plaintiffs have not sufficiently pled in their [complaint] that the Article and the Sequel are ‘substantially similar,'" reads the order. "The Court disagrees."

For those unaware, author Ehud Yonay's widow and son filed the case in June, claiming that Paramount never bothered to renew the rights to Yonay's article about the Navy Fighter Weapons School, which was published in California magazine.

Paramount countered their claims by stating that it did not need the rights as the sequel bore little resemblance to the 1983 magazine article and because facts about the Navy Fighter Weapons School are not subject to copyright protection.&nbsp;

"Plaintiffs do not have a monopoly over works about ‘Top Gun,'"&nbsp;Paramount’s lawyers argued.

However, in the latest ruling, Anderson held that the complaint contained enough similarities to survive a motion to dismiss.

"Here, the Court finds that there are enough alleged similarities between the Article and the Sequel for reasonable minds to differ on the issue of substantial similarity, including the filtering out of unprotected elements,"&nbsp;Anderson stated.

In a statement that followed the dismissal of their motion, Paramount said that it will continue to fight the lawsuit and expects to prevail. "While the Court declined to dismiss the case at this very early stage in the proceedings, we will continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit and are confident that discovery will confirm that the claims have no merit,"&nbsp;the studio said.

'Top Gun: Maverick'&nbsp;is among the&nbsp;top-grossing films of 2022. It&nbsp;collected over $1.5 billion in box office revenue worldwide.
