Jessica Alba to star in Netflix's action thriller 'Trigger Warning'

<p>For Priyanshu Painyuli, who featured in Chris Hemsworth's ‘Extraction’, the biggest challenge was speaking in Bengali in an English film. Priyanshu played Asif, a Bangladeshi drug lord in the film. He is the main antagonist who is responsible to bringing Taylor (Hemsworth) to Dhaka on a mission to extract a boy who has been kidnapped by Priyanshu’s men.</p>

<p>The actor can be seen speaking in only in Bengali throughout the film. “The most challenging and interesting thing about playing this Bangladeshi guy was to speak in Bengali,” admits Priyanshu in a chat with WION.</p>

<p>The film, which was exclusively made for Netflix, has got a great response from the audience and is the biggest film for the OTT platform.</p>

<p>With a cast comprising of Hemsworth, Randeep Hooda, and Pankaj Tripathi, Priyanshu was rather an uncanny choice to play an antagonist. “I used to joke around with Sam (Hargrave, the director of the film) on the sets that you have made me the villain but I am not part of any fight sequence,” Priyanshu recalls. Instead, he played a calm, quiet yet menacing Asif who controlled almost the entire city from his fortress.</p>

<p>A ‘pahadi’ from Dehradun who has spent his growing up years in Bengaluru, Priyanshu was offered the role because the casting director thought he was a Bengali because of his first name. “The casting director called me and straight away asked if I could speak in Bengali?” says the actor.</p>

<p>With a little help from his friends including actress Ronjini Chakraborty, Priyanshu recorded a few lines in Bangla and sent casting director Tess Joseph audio clips to convince her that he could do the part. Another round of audition soon followed and Priyanshu eventually landed the role. But the actor had to be tutored in the local dialect of Dhaka which is strikingly different from the Bengali language that is common in India.</p>

<p>“They got a Bangladeshi filmmaker on board called Rafael. He was from Dhaka, he trained us in the language 2 months before the shoot. All of us had to go through training, were tutored for two months to look and behave like locals of Dhaka. They kept the language authentic,” said Priyanshu.</p>

<p>In fact, ‘Extraction’ is perhaps one of the rare Hollywood films that had actors speaking multiple languages instead of English throughout. “If you see the portions in Mumbai- the characters are speaking Hindi, people in Bangladesh speaking the local language then Chris is speaking in English. Most of English films have even Asians speaking in English, they will throw in local words in between but here they have the characterization very authentic,” Priyanshu pointed out.</p>

<p>Describing his character Aamir Asif in ‘Extraction’ as a “prince”, the actor says that while he was given a clear brief by his director about his role, he also created a perception of the character and his background while preparing for the film. “Sam and I discussed that this guy has got this business from family. He has inherited it and its father’s business that he is now taking care of. Which is why you see him giving life lessons to people.. something that he has picked up from his father, he has the prince demeanor. I purposely did not want to make him shout or show off his power through his body language, because when you are a king, you don’t have to prove it to the world. That makes the character of Aamir interesting. He orders, commands, gives life lessons. He is very clear. He is dangerous, cunning but calm.”</p>

<p>Apart from playing the lead, Chris Hemsworth was also the co-producer of ‘Extraction’. Interestingly, while Priyanshu played the antagonist, he did not have any scene with Chris Hemsworth. “We met on the sets though, a few times and it was great. Never thought he would be so relaxed and so cool,” Priyanshu said. The actor is self-confessed fan of Marvel and Thor- a character Hemsworth has famously played on the screen. “In my head, I always thought that I would be star-struck whenever I would meet him because I have watched his films. But that didn’t happen at all. When I first met him, he was so calm and it was just like meeting any other co-actor or a friend. He has got a very Australian vibe that makes you feel very comfortable around him,” the actor said.</p>

<p>Priyanshu made his film debut in 'Love at First Sight' in 2016 but his breakout performance came in 2017 in Vikramaditya Motwane’s ‘Bhavesh Joshi Superhero’- a film that did not create much noise when it was released in theatres but traveled far and wide after its digital release. The actor feels the avenues have opened up for more content with the popularity of OTT platforms in India. But he confesses he is a cinema lover. “I have to watch a film every week on the big screen. I have learnt filmmaking, so cinema will always be fascinating for me.”</p>

<p>The actor has a strong background in theatre for years and has also made short films and says theatre will always be his first love.”There’s a different high performing in front of live audience and see their reactions,” the actor says candidly.</p>

<p>Having worked in Indian films and now in Hollywood- does he feel the working environment is different in two industries? “In Hollywood, they are very particular about time. Also, Indian sets are noisy,” laughs Priyanshu and adds, “Culturally we Indians talk loudly. But on their sets, everyone is always softly speaking.”&nbsp; The actor though admits that in India things have evolved over the years and that now most films are time-bound and stick to the script and technically at par with Hollywood.</p>

<p>With ‘Extraction’ getting a great response, do we get to see him in more Hollywood projects, we ask, “I hope so!”<br />
the actor says and adds that he will next be seen in Rashmi Rocket opposite Taapsee Pannu. “The prep was on but we had to stop because of the lockdown, let’s see when we can resume our shoot again,” the actor says as he signs off.</p>

<p>Chris Hemsworth's latest film 'Extraction' has released worldwide on Netflix just a few days back. The action thriller has Hemsworth playing Tyler, a mercenary who has to travel to Dhaka to rescue the son of a Mumbai based drug lord.<br />
<br />
The film is multi-lingual owing to the story. While the primary language is Engish, the actors can also be seen speaking in Hindi and Bengali. Now, Indian actors speaking Hindi and Bengali is not unusual but what did stand out is when Hemsworth himself spoke out in Bangla in one of the scenes!</p>

<p>In a particular scene, Hemsworth can be seen getting questioned in what appears to be somewhere in Dhaka. The interrogator speaks in Bengali and Hemsworth replies in fluent Bengali, saying “proman dao”, which literally translates into “give me proof”.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, those two words spoken by Hemsworth got his Bengali fans gushing over the Hollywood star in an all-new way. Someone even hilariously compared it to Hemsworth's popular Marvel character Thor. In Bengali, a part of the Banana tree is called a thor and is considered a vegetarian delicacy.</p>

Chris Hemsworth speaks a Bengali line in 'Extraction', fans can't keep calm

<p>Chris Hemsworth's latest film 'Extraction' is a treat for those who love the action genre. High on stunts, the film’s action sequences are brutal, hardcore and in plenty, so much so that the story becomes secondary. Directed by Sam Hargrave who was the stunt director of 'Avengers: Endgame', ‘Extraction’ is nearly a two-hour film of a man trying to rescue a teenage boy from a local Drug lord in Dhaka and his army of men.<br />
<br />
Hemsworth plays Tyler, who is given the job to extract Ovi Mahajan (newcomer Rudraksh Jaiswal) son of Mumbai based drug lord (Pankaj Tripathi) from Dhaka. Ovi has been kidnapped and taken hostage by the local ‘Pablo Escobar’ of the area, Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli) and held captive in a dilapidated house in the outskirts of Dhaka.<br />
<br />
Tyler with the help of Nik (Golshifteh Farahani) and team, tracks Ovi down and is almost about to finish the extraction and the take the boy home when the team advises him to abort the mission as someone has gone rogue in the middle. Meanwhile, Saju (Randeep Hooda) who works for Ovi's father is also on the lookout for the boy which leads to clashes with Tyler. As Tyler and Ovi run around the bustling streets of Dhaka, they have Saju and nearly the entire city police looking for them.</p>

<p>Elaborate and unending action sequences, lots of car chases, hand-to-hand combat and men and children wielding bazookas freely forms rest of the film’s story. The entire film is just that, of men flexing muscles, fighting with each other and Hemsworth turning into a one-man army trying to save the boy from getting killed.<br />
<br />
The screenplay written by Joe Russo gives backstories to only three characters that too very sketchy ones. Tyler - an ex Australian mercenary who is yet to come to terms with his young son’s death, Saju- for whom his family holds utmost importance and Ovi, the neglected boy of a mafia lord who develops a fondness for Tyler. The backstories are merely mentioned in a scene or two, they are not very deftly written neither do they add much to the narrative. On the contrary that one scene where Tyler narrates his past to Ovi- in a tender moment of bonding- is one the slowest portions of the film.<br />
<br />
While the film is based in Dhaka, it has been shot in Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Thailand. Of course, the sub-continent in Hollywood is always shown in a certain way. The stories always tend to glamorize the chaos and poverty of the third world. This film is no different. The only portions that are shown in the film are the seedy by-lanes of a very dusty city where people stay in cramped houses with Bollywood music blaring out of them. So typical, no?</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GJQsT-h0FTU" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
The drug lord, of course, employs a bunch of children and who are more than happy to wield guns at whoever their master wants. They are malnourished but full of anger and ready to do anything to please their boss Asif.<br />
The film gives more importance to the action sequences than the story. It is also important to note that it takes a white man to come and rescue a boy in India even as the local guardian(who probably knows the area better than Tyler) plays a second fiddle in the story.</p>

<p>The film, though has to be given credit for not just the action sequences but also for using some local languages like Hindi and Bengali when needed. Instead of making the Indian actors speak in accented English, the director keeps the authenticity intact by making them speak the local language. In one scene even Hemsworth speaks a few words in Bangla!<br />
<br />
Shot by Newton Thomas Sigel the scenes give an immersive feeling that make you feel the punches and blows in many cases.<br />
<br />
Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi are let down by poor screenplay. It is a Hemsworth show all the way - who is also one of the co-producers of the film. Hemsworth literally plays a modern version of one his best onscreen characters Thor- but minus the sass. Hemsworth is glum and only knows the language of violence in this film. The only guy who matches Hemsworth's overpowering screen presence is actor Rudraksh Jaiswal who delivers a confident performance as the lonely Ovi. Painyuli shows spark in the limited screen space he has. He adapts the local Dhaka style of Bengali well.<br />
<br />

Chris Hemsworth's latest film 'Extraction' is a treat for those who love the action genre. High on stunts, the film’s action sequences are brutal, hardcore and in plenty, so much so that the story becomes secondary. Directed by Sam Hargrave who was the stunt director of 'Avengers: Endgame', ‘Extraction’ is nearly a two-hour film of a man trying to rescue a teenage boy from a local Drug lord in Dhaka and his army of men. Hemsworth plays Tyler, who is given the job to extract Ovi Mahajan (newcomer Rudraksh Jaiswal) son of Mumbai based drug lord (Pankaj Tripathi) from Dhaka. Ovi has been kidnapped and taken hostage by the local ‘Pablo Escobar’ of the area, Asif (Priyanshu Painyuli) and held captive in a dilapidated house in the outskirts of Dhaka. Tyler with the help of Nik (Golshifteh Farahani) and team, tracks Ovi down and is almost about to finish the extraction and the take the boy home when the team advises him to abort the mission as someone has gone rogue in the middle. Meanwhile, Saju (Randeep Hooda) who works for Ovi's father is also on the lookout for the boy which leads to clashes with Tyler. As Tyler and Ovi run around the bustling streets of Dhaka, they have Saju and nearly the entire city police looking for them. Elaborate and unending action sequences, lots of car chases, hand-to-hand combat and men and children wielding bazookas freely forms rest of the film’s story. The entire film is just that, of men flexing muscles, fighting with each other and Hemsworth turning into a one-man army trying to save the boy from getting killed. The screenplay written by Joe Russo gives backstories to only three characters that too very sketchy ones. Tyler - an ex Australian mercenary who is yet to come to terms with his young son’s death, Saju- for whom his family holds utmost importance and Ovi, the neglected boy of a mafia lord who develops a fondness for Tyler. The backstories are merely mentioned in a scene or two, they are not very deftly written neither do they add much to the narrative. On the contrary that one scene where Tyler narrates his past to Ovi- in a tender moment of bonding- is one the slowest portions of the film. While the film is based in Dhaka, it has been shot in Mumbai, Ahmadabad and Thailand. Of course, the sub-continent in Hollywood is always shown in a certain way. The stories always tend to glamorize the chaos and poverty of the third world. This film is no different. The only portions that are shown in the film are the seedy by-lanes of a very dusty city where people stay in cramped houses with Bollywood music blaring out of them. So typical, no? The drug lord, of course, employs a bunch of children and who are more than happy to wield guns at whoever their master wants. They are malnourished but full of anger and ready to do anything to please their boss Asif. The film gives more importance to the action sequences than the story. It is also important to note that it takes a white man to come and rescue a boy in India even as the local guardian(who probably knows the area better than Tyler) plays a second fiddle in the story. The film, though has to be given credit for not just the action sequences but also for using some local languages like Hindi and Bengali when needed. Instead of making the Indian actors speak in accented English, the director keeps the authenticity intact by making them speak the local language. In one scene even Hemsworth speaks a few words in Bangla! Shot by Newton Thomas Sigel the scenes give an immersive feeling that make you feel the punches and blows in many cases. Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi are let down by poor screenplay. It is a Hemsworth show all the way - who is also one of the co-producers of the film. Hemsworth literally plays a modern version of one his best onscreen characters Thor- but minus the sass. Hemsworth is glum and only knows the language of violence in this film. The only guy who matches Hemsworth's overpowering screen presence is actor Rudraksh Jaiswal who delivers a confident performance as the lonely Ovi. Painyuli shows spark in the limited screen space he has. He adapts the local Dhaka style of Bengali well. 'Extraction' is technically a very sound film. Slick action, good looking actors fighting it out and some mean stunts. If heavy-duty action thrillers are something that suits your palate, 'Extraction' is an good option. Don’t go by the story so much though.

'Yeh Ballet' becomes the first Indian film to be recommended by Netflix CEO Reed Hastings

<p>Netflix Inc more than doubled its own projections for new customers as quarantined audiences binged on series such as <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-orlando-bloom-to-play-joe-exotic-in-movie-based-on-netflix-hit-tiger-king-murder-mayhem-and-madness-291487">‘Tiger King,’ </a>but the company predicted a weaker second half of the year if stay-at-home orders to fight the coronavirus are lifted.</p>

<p>The world’s largest streaming service gained 15.8 million paying customers from January through March, bringing its global total to 182.9 million. Netflix had predicted it would add 7 million during the period.</p>

<p>The company warned that it expected fewer new subscribers from July to December compared with a year earlier, however. Many people who would have joined then are likely to have already signed up, executives said.</p>

<p>“We expect viewing to decline and membership growth to decelerate as home confinement ends,” Netflix said in a letter to shareholders.</p>

<p>The company is among the few businesses to benefit from government orders imposed in March to keep people away from each other in order to stop the spread of the highly infectious novel coronavirus. While the S&amp;P 500 Index .SPX has fallen 19% from its Feb. 19 record high, Netflix has gained 11% during the same period.</p>

<p>Netflix also issued a bullish forecast that it would add 7.5 million new customers for the current quarter, which ends in June, though the company said it was “mostly guesswork” given uncertainty over when stay-at-home orders might be lifted.

<p>Investing.com senior analyst Haris Anwar said Netflix’s big gains showed “it’s the ultimate stay-at-home stock.”</p>

Indian fans are a league of their own. They can go to any length to just get a picture with their favourite stars or catch a glimpse of them. While shooting in India, Hollywood superstar Chris Hemsworth got a taste of the crazy fandom that he enjoys in the country. Now, we all know that Hemsworth was in India in 2019 shooting for Netflix film 'Extraction'. The film is scheduled to release on the OTT platform on April 24 and three days before the premiere, Hemsworth shared a video from his filming days. The video, that Hemsworth shared on Instagram, has two fans of the 'Avengers' star chasing his car in order to get his autograph. The men could be seen riding alongside Chris' SUV waving a photo of the 'Thor' star. "One of the more enthusiastic fans I've ever seen," Chris commented in the clip. Sharing the video of the incident with his fans, Chris wrote, "Persistence pays off - not only did this guy get an autograph, he also does all my motorbike stunts from now on."

Netflix releases ten educational documentaries on YouTube for free amid COVID-19

<p>Netflix docu-drama 'Tiger King,' the compelling true crime series set in the world of private zoos and their eccentric owners, is getting the comic book treatment.<br />
<br />
Tidalwave Productions said on Tuesday it has added the story to its Infamous series of pop culture comic books after the Netflix television series became a worldwide phenomenon.<br />
<br />
"You can`t make this stuff up," said Michael Frizell, who will write the book to be published in June in both print and digital editions.<br />
<br />
"I never imagined I`d be researching a book like this. It was a challenge to find a focus for the comic because there`s so much happening," Frizell said in a statement.<br />
<br />
"Tiger King," the extraordinary tale of flamboyant Oklahoma zoo keeper Joe Exotic, his rivalry with Florida big cat rescue activist Carole Baskin and his imprisonment for hiring a hitman to try to kill her, was watched by some 34.3 million viewers in the first 10 days after it was released on Netflix on March 20, according to Nielsen data.<br />
<br />
Tiger King`s immense popularity coincided with Americans settling into stay-at-home mode to help slow the spread of the coronavirus during which television viewership has soared.<br />
<br />
The series has already spawned a follow-up episode from celebrity website TMZ, and plans for two more series, including a possible movie version.<br />
<br />
Publisher Darren G. Davis said the comic book was "fun and a good distraction" from the coronavirus epidemic that has upended life for millions of people and killed more than 124,000 people globally.<br />
<br />
The glossy comic will have two covers, one featuring Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin and the other a colorful "blinged" out tiger.<br />
<br />
Previous subjects in the Infamous series have included troubled actors Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan.</p>

<p>The first look of Indian actor Priyanshu Painyuli from Neflix film 'Extraction' is finally out.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film was origially titled Dhaka but wwas later changed. The film stars Chris Hemsworth in a leading role. It is backed&nbsp;by Russo Brothers with Sam Hargrave at the helm of it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film stars a bevy of well known Bollywood actors including Randeep Hooda, Pankaj Tripathi and Priyanshu Painyuli amongst others.</p>

<p>Priyanshu plays the role of a mafia in the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his first look, that we've laid our hands-on, Priyanshu dons a unique stylish gangsta look. The character wears heavy chunky gold jewelry much like the gang lords of Dhaka do. He is seen donning gold neckpieces, armlets and bracelets in the film. He was required to wear a lot of local fabrics including kurtas and silken shirts which are characteristic of Bangladeshi locals. There are deep-hued monotones used to dress him.</p>

<p>On the same,&nbsp;Priyanshu said, "I have always felt the way you dress up as a character makes you behave in a certain way. For me, mainly my shoes matter a lot, what footwear I use to walk or sit changes my body language a bit. Even in 'Extraction' When Sam, my director, asked me How did I feel with my costume and look? I smiled and said I am really enjoying the gold but I especially loved my shoes, shiny, pointed with hard heels, which makes a presence when I walk, at least to me."</p>

<p>The British Film Institute and the Film and TV Charity have now launched the UK’s COVID-19 Film and TV Emergency Relief Fund with an initial $3 million to distribute to those impacted by the crisis.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This Relief Fund was announced with a $1.2 million donation from Netflix.</p>

<p>The fund has attracted financial support from the BFI, BBC Studios, BBC Content, WarnerMedia and several individuals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This announcement comes after a new survey by the Film and TV Charity revealed that more than nine in 10 (93 per cent) of freelancers in the UK are no longer working due to the pandemic, with three-quarters (74 per cent) not expected to qualify for either of the British government's financial support schemes. Last week, the UK's major broadcasters all urged the government to help those workers in the industry who "fall through the cracks" of these schemes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Unprecedented times call for an exceptional response," said Film and TV Charity CEO Alex Pumfrey. "The COVID-19 Film and TV Emergency Relief Fund is unique, time-limited and designed to provide financial support where the need is most acute. Our systems will highlight applicants who are experiencing particular distress and our experienced team will respond to those red flags with personal follow-up calls."</p>

<p>All OTT platforms that stream in India have now decided that they will restrict streaming on cellular networks in India to only SD (Standard definition) content until April 14 in lieu of complete lockdown in the country for 21 days after PM Modi’s address.</p>

<p>High definition (HD) as well as ultra-HD shall both be suspended effective immediately, and the bitrates shall also be lowered to 480p. This measure has been taken to counter the unprecedented surge in mobile internet consumption as India prepares to spend three weeks at home in self-isolation, to battle the coronavirus spread.</p>

<p>However, this move by the digital players is only for cellular networks and not for broadband.</p>

<p>According to a press release, the decision was taken during a virtual meeting organised by Uday Shankar, chairman, Star &amp; Disney India, which was attended by top industry leaders including Sanjay Gupta (Google India), Ajit Mohan (Facebook India), Punit Goenka (Zee Entertainment Enterprises), NP Singh (Sony Pictures Networks), Sudhanshu Vats (Viacom18), Gaurav Gandhi (Amazon Prime Video), Nikhil Gandhi (Tiktok), Ambika Khurana (Netflix), Karan Bedi (MX Player) and Varun Narang (Hotstar).</p>

<p>“The government and the telecom operators are concerned about the total lockdown’s potential impact on the cellular network infrastructure. The digital industry is acutely aware of this challenge, and is committed to ensuring that all citizens are able to access mobile networks whenever and wherever they want,” read the statement.</p>

<p>Earlier last week, the Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI), that represents Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea, had reached out to 12 video streaming platforms to implement measures such as reducing video quality.</p>

<p>A lot of the streaming service providers, including YouTube, Netflix, MX Player, Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar, Voot and ZEE5 have already announced that they have started taking steps to reduce strain on the internet.</p>

<p>Google-owned YouTube had also said in a statement earlier, that it is reducing its default video quality to standard definition across the world. A Google spokesperson said in a statement, “We continue to work closely with governments and network operators around the globe to do our part to minimize stress on the system during this unprecedented situation. Last week, we announced that we were temporarily defaulting all videos on YouTube to standard definition in the EU. Given the global nature of this crisis, we will expand that change globally starting today.”<br />

The telecoms industry has in recent days reported a spike in data traffic on networks as thousands of people were forced to stay home in an attempt to curb the spread of the highly contagious coronavirus, which has infected more than 274,800 people globally and led to the deaths of 11,389 people worldwide.

Netflix creates $100 million fund to help displaced film and TV workers

<p>Coronavirus has now put Disney+ plans in the backburner s they have now indefinitely delayed the launch.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was to launch in India on March 29 as part of Disney’s India streaming service Hotstar, coinciding with the beginning of this year’s Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament which is a major crowd puller.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ever since the tournament was postponed because of coronavirus scare, Disney officials have also stalled their plans for now. Uday Shankar, president of The Walt Disney Company APAC, and chairman of Star and Disney India, said in a statement: “We recently announced that Disney Plus would launch in India through the Hotstar service in conjunction with beginning of the Indian Premier League cricket season. Given the delay of the season, we have made the decision to briefly pause the roll-out of Disney Plus and will announce a new revised premiere date for the service soon.”</p>

<p>Earlier, on March 11, Disney+ went live in India. It was taken back after the company declared that they were merely beta testing.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Coronavirus has been having quite an impact on OTT platforms with Netflix also taking some measures given that more number of people are self isolating and are at home. With more people in their homes, there is more consumption of the internet. Thus, Netflix has announced that it will slightly reduce the video quality on its service in Europe for the next 30 days, to reduce the strain on internet service providers.</p>

<p>The video-streaming provider said lowering the picture quality would reduce Netflix data consumption by 25%. But movies will still be high-definition or ultra-high definition 4K. The change will apply to the UK as well as other European countries.</p>

Disney+ postpones launch, Netflix reduces video quality in times of coronavirus

<p>At a time when the world is battling with coronavirus, there are reports that streaming platforms like Netflix and others are winning big with people streaming from their homes, having being holed up because of the viral outbreak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Governments around the world have put in place bans or issued advisory against coming together in large numbers. With people restricted to their homes, streaming platforms are having the last laugh.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Also, since movie halls have been shut down in most parts of the world, filmmakers have postponed the release of their films, shifting the dates to later part of the year. With no access to entertainment, people are said to binge-watch at homes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The latest James Bond instalment, ‘No Time to Die’, ‘Peter Rabbit 2’, ‘A Quiet Place Part II’ and ‘Fast &amp; Furious 9’ have all been postponed. Even film festivals like<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-news-tribeca-film-festival-2020-postponed-amid-coronavirus-scare-286070"> Tribeca Film Festival</a>, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood-news-zee-cine-awards-2020-cancelled-for-public-to-be-shot-as-televised-show-286093">ZEE Cine Awards</a> and even <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/cannes-film-festival-may-get-cancelled-if-covid-19-situation-doesnt-improve-285859">Cannes </a>is said to have been postponed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In such times, people turning to streaming giants is good news for these platforms. “Amid fears over a global economic slowdown from the widening coronavirus outbreak, companies like Netflix that provide in-home services are best positioned to withstand the storm or even see upside from the crisis,” reported Variety at the end of February, noting that while global stock markets plummeted, Netflix’s share price had actually risen 0.8%.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Disney+ could also cash in on this situation as it gets ready to premiere in the UK on March 24 and March 29 in India. Disney+ offers a vast back catalogue of features from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, the Star Wars universe and National Geographic. In fact, Disney+ Hotstar had launched its Disney content on the platform ahead of its schedule, but have today, recalled it all. They said that they were <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hotstar-removes-disney-content-a-day-after-beta-version-testing-286063">“beta testing” for the original premiere.&nbsp;</a></p>
