<p>A British parliamentary committee accused Facebook on Wednesday of giving companies such as Netflix preferential access to users' data even after it tightened its privacy rules in 2014-15.</p>

<p>The UK parliament's select media committee published more than 200 pages of internal Facebook emails it has acquired while probing how the giant was being used to manipulate major election results.</p>

<p>The emails feature in a case being heard in a California court filed against the giant by the now-defunct US app developer Six4Three.</p>

<p>Committee chair Damian Collins said it was not clear from the private exchanges between Facebook and app developers whether users were aware that their friends list and other private information was being used.</p>

<p>"Facebook has clearly entered into whitelisting agreements with certain companies, which meant that after the platform changes in 2014/15 they maintained full access to friends data," Collins wrote in an accompanying note.</p>

<p>"The idea of linking access to friends data to the financial value of the developers relationship with Facebook is a recurring feature of the documents."</p>

<p>Facebook said in a statement released to AFP that the Six4Three emails "are only part of the story and are presented in a way that is very misleading without additional context".</p>

<p>The social media behemoth launched a public campaign in 2014 aimed at easing user concerns about data breaches.</p>

<p>But the emails suggest that Facebook followed a set policy of selling the information to a select group of major app developers even after the platform changes were fully deployed in 2015.</p>

<p>The emails show Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg mulling charging app developers for data access in 2012.</p>

<p>Facebook's director of developer platforms and programs Konstantinos Papamiltiadis told AFP last week that the company "has never sold anyone's data".</p>

<p>It was announced a while back that Netflix will be adapting Salman Rushdie’s celebrated novel ‘Midnight’s Children’. The streaming platform now also has a director to realise it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an announcement made today, Netflix has revealed that Vishal Bhardwaj will helm the project and also executive produce it. Simran Sethi, director of international originals for Netflix said, “The scope and scale of Midnight’s Children can only be translated by a creator with an expansive vision, depth of storytelling, and a nuanced knowledge of bringing characters to life."</p>

<p>Simran added, "We couldn’t have imagined anyone other than Vishal Bhardwaj as the showrunner on this series and are honoured that he will steer the project.”</p>

<p>Midnight's Children follows the life of Saleem Sinai, who was born on the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, coinciding with India's independence. The book follows his life, every act of his, that in a way mirrors and reflects the course of the country's national affairs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On getting this opportunity, Vishal said, “The opportunity to translate one of the greatest works of literature in a medium that is accessible to millions of people around the world is incredible, and I’m delighted to partner with Netflix in bringing Midnight’s Children to life onscreen. I’m confident that taking this quintessentially Indian epic that transcends generations and genres, combined with the production values and creative freedom that Netflix offers, will contribute to an unforgettable series that is Indian at heart and global in reach.”</p>

<p>Vishal is best known as a director, writer, producer and composer across genres in Hindi cinema. He has adapted several global works of literature for the screen, including Macbeth (‘Maqbool’), Othello (‘Omkara’), Hamlet (‘Haider’) and ‘The Blue Umbrella’. He has got seven National Film Awards in India.&nbsp;</p>

Vishal Bhardwaj to direct Netflix's adaptation of Salman Rushdie's novel 'Midnight's Children'

<p>It was a starry night where Hollywood celebrities and stars from Bollywood hobnobbed and celebrated Netflix new film 'Mowgli: Legend Of The Jungle'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by &nbsp;Andy Serkis, the live-action film will be releasing in both English and Hindi versions. Some of the biggest names of Bollywood have lent their voices to the Hindi version. On Sunday night Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor interacted and posed for photos with stars Christian Bale and Frieda Pinto- who feature in the Hollywood version of the film at the premiere of the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pinto, who plays the part of Messua- Mowgli`s human mother- said that during the South Africa leg of their shoot, Andy had told her to play her part in Hindi too."So for me to go to South Africa and actually work with fellow actors all speaking in Hindi, and all the other things I associate with India came to life with this movie," she further said, while describing her journey with the movie.</p>

<p>Walking down the memory lane, Pinto recalled how one would watch `The Jungle Book` in Hindi every Sunday when it aired on Doordarshan. "There was so much of human life in the village that was captured in that version, and I have not seen that version anywhere else," she added. Pinto even credited Andy for making this film an "ode to India".</p>

<p><img alt="Mowgli premiere" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2c932851-7d1c-4dbd-baf1-c76814569e10" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/netflix%20mowgli.jpg" /></p>

<p>The director, earlier in the day, spoke about how the film is closest to Rudyard Kipling's book. "I am just thrilled beyond belief that we are bringing the film back to its roots to tell this story, interpretation of which has never been seen in a country that inspired... It would have not happened if not for Netflix. The tone of this story is much closer to Rudyard Kipling`s book than other versions. It was very important for me to make the film which is very closely linked to Indian culture," Andy said.<br />
The world premiere also saw the unveiling of the Hindi trailer of the much- anticipated movie. &nbsp;The lead of the film, Rohan Chand, also made an appearance.</p>

<p>One of the highlights of the event was Anil Kapoor and Andy Serkis- both of whom are voicing Baloo in their respective languages- mimicking a bear while looking at each other.</p>

<p>The casting for both the English as well as the Hindi version is quite interesting. Anil Kapoor has lent his voice for the ever-so-friendly character of Baloo and Abhishek Bachchan plays Bagheera, the black panther. Kareena, on the other hand, dubbed for the giant python Kaa, Jackie Shroff is Shere Khan. Madhuri Dixit joins the jungle as the character of Nisha, who is the wolf mother to Mowgli.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the English voice cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan, Cate Blanchett as the snake Kaa, director Andy Serkis as the voice of the bear Baloo, and Christian Bale as Bagheera the panther. The English cast also stars Naomie Harris, Peter Mullan, and Matthew Rhys. Based on Rudyard Kipling`s classic novel `The Jungle Book`, the movie will stream on Netflix on December 7.</p>

<p>This is the first time a Hollywood film premiered in India first.</p>

<p>Netflix chief executive Reed Hastings said that the streaming video company had no plans for cheaper prices in the hotly competitive India market and that an executive's comments suggesting otherwise had been "misunderstood."</p>

<p>In an interview with Reuters on Friday, Hastings noted that Netflix had three price tiers in India: 500 rupees ($6.90) for a basic plan, 650 ($9.00) for a standard plan and 800 rupees ($11) for premium. Those prices are only modestly lower than what the company charges in the United States.</p>

<p>But in India, Hastings said, "we see the typical mix across these three plans that we see in many other countries like the US, which would indicate that we don’t have a pricing issue. Because if it was, everyone would be on the lower price plan.”</p>

<p>When asked directly if that meant the company had no plans for lower prices in India, he said: "Correct."</p>

<p>Hastings' comments followed a Singapore event where the company introduced 17 new original productions for Asia, including nine for India. He said local production was a key driver of new subscribers in India and elsewhere, but he declined to provide specific figures on Asia subscriber numbers and growth.</p>

<p>Netflix launched in India two years ago and has won fans among a young, tech-savvy middle class in a country where video consumption of all kinds is soaring. It scored a big hit in July with the release of “Sacred Games”, a hard-boiled thriller built around Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan.</p>

<p>Local industry players, however, say Netflix’s prices will make it hard to compete against domestic competitors like 21st Century Fox-backed Hotstar, Amazon's Prime Video and satellite TV provider Tata Sky.</p>

<p>But Hastings said Netflix could still thrive amid cheaper options.</p>

<p>“Now it is true that Youtube is free, and Amazon is basically free, and cable is extremely inexpensive because it’s ad-supported. To some degree that creates a consumer expectation," he said. But he added that the cost of Netflix in India was "like going to the movie theatre 2-3 tickets a month, but you get to watch a lot more.”</p>

<p><strong>Pricing experiments</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Following Netflix's October earnings announcement, chief product officer Greg Peters said: "We’ll experiment with other pricing models, not only for India, but around the world that will allow us to broaden access by providing a pricing tier that sits below our current lowest tier."</p>

<p>That was widely understood to signal that a low-price plan was coming to India. But Hastings said that was not the case.</p>

<p>"It got misunderstood as a decision that we are going to have lower prices in India, which is not something we are particularly contemplating," he said.</p>

<p>Hastings acknowledged the limitations of the current pricing strategy in a country where per-capita income is a tenth of that in the United States.</p>

<p>“It’s true that if you’re trying to get to a billion households, that probably wouldn’t work," he said. "But if you’re focused on English-language, English-entertainment households, there is a much higher income.”</p>

<p>He called the high-end focus "a practical, realistic" place to start and that the company eventually hoped to target a broader audience.</p>

<p>Netflix currently has more than 130 million subscribers worldwide. Hastings has said the India market could deliver the next 100 million subscribers.</p>

But their ancestral village is plagued by mysterious deaths and stories of a haunting by a woman who lives in the trees.</p>

<p>Satya must find the truth behind the lore and save his village from the evil “chudail with the inverted feet”.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
‘Upstarts’ is a bromance about three college graduates from small-town India, captivated by the startup mania sweeping the country.

The announcement was made at Netflix’s See What Next event in Asia, in the presence of Deva Katta (director), Prasad Devineni (producer) and Praveen Sattaru (director). Mrunal shared her excitement on the news and said, “I knew I wanted to play Sivagami because she’s a strong girl.

She is so confident, fierce and I’m so fortunate.” The producer of the series Prasad Devineni said, “It’s a prequel to both films. It will take fans into the backstories of the characters from the films, and we’ll also be introducing new characters. The aim is to please the Baahubali fanbase and the huge audience Netflix has across the world.” Giving a cue on how the story might pan out, Prasad said, “The sets are massive, it’s a costume drama and I’m very excited about the journey of Sivagami and her flaws.

Netflix's 'Mowgli' to get exclusive theatrical release

<p>‘Thor’ Chris Hemsworth is in India shooting for a Netflix film 'Dhaka'&nbsp;with some Bollywood actors and he has the most hilarious reaction to being stuck in classic Ahmedabad traffic that we are sure had become worse on the eve of Diwali festival. See <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood-star-chris-hemsworth-is-all-smiles-as-he-shoots-for-netflix-film-in-india-see-pics-175638">pictures of Chris</a> enjoying his stay in India.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Marvel’s most loved God-superhero (as many would agree) got stuck in traffic on Tuesday night and posted a funny video narrating what he felt like. He described the whole experience of vehicles overtaking from either side and blaring their horns as “beautiful chaos”. He imitated the honking sound saying “beep, beep” before describing what a busy intersection on the roads looked like.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Netflix Inc will debut three of its upcoming original films in a limited number of theaters before the movies appear on the streaming service, the company said on Wednesday.<br />

The move for 'Roma,' 'Bird Box'&nbsp;and 'The Ballad of Buster Scruggs'&nbsp;is a change from the company's traditional practice of releasing movies in theaters and on Netflix on the same day.<br />
,<br />
'Roma,'&nbsp;a black-and-white, Spanish-language film about a housekeeper in Mexico, will start playing in cinemas in Los Angeles, New York and Mexico on November 21 and later expand to other cities and countries.&nbsp;<br />

Directed by Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuaron, 'Roma'&nbsp;will debut on Netflix and in additional theaters on December 14.<br />

<p>With the advent of online video streaming sites, cine-goers now have the choice to sit at home and enjoy films from across the world. Filmmakers, TV producers have also found web a new medium to push content which may not work on the big screen or on TV.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
More and more producers are now making films solely for the digital audience. But with the advent of Netflix, Amazon and host of video streaming apps, will cinema halls cease to exist?<br />
<br />
"Cinema halls will always stay. We as filmmakers will make films for all kinds of mediums but cinema halls will remain for people like us. That won't go," says filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kashyap along with Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Karan Johar directs <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/entertainment-lust-stories-trailer-karan-johar-dibakar-banerjee-zoya-akhtar-and-anurag-kashyap-reunite-for-anthology-film-on-love-and-desire-137984">Netflix's new film 'Lust Stories' which is a sequel of sorts to 2013 film 'Bombay Talkies'.&nbsp;</a><br />
<br />
The anthology will have four distinct stories- each directed by the four filmmakers- with a common theme- lust.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anurag's film features Radhika Apte in the lead. Without divulging much about his film, Kashyap urged us to watch the film. " See the film. It's about a woman who is very contradictory in life.

The film will release on Netflix on June 15th but Kashyap isn't worried that the reach of his film would be limited. "I am very happy the way Lust Stories has shaped up. It's okay that the film is not getting a theatrical release. I make films, that is my job. Now, it is up to people if they want to watch it or not- irrespective of the medium."<br />

Anurag Kashyap speaks to WION about the relevance of cinema halls in digital age and his latest film 'Lust Stories'.

With the advent of online video streaming sites, cine-goers now have the choice to sit at home and enjoy films from across the world. Filmmakers, TV producers have also found web a new medium to push content which may not work on the big screen or on TV. More and more producers are now making films solely for the digital audience. But with the advent of Netflix, Amazon and host of video streaming apps, will cinema halls cease to exist? "Cinema halls will always stay. We as filmmakers will make films for all kinds of mediums but cinema halls will remain for people like us. That won't go," says filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. Kashyap along with Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Karan Johar directs Netflix's new film 'Lust Stories' which is a sequel of sorts to 2013 film 'Bombay Talkies'. The anthology will have four distinct stories- each directed by the four filmmakers- with a common theme- lust. Anurag's film features Radhika Apte in the lead. Without divulging much about his film, Kashyap urged us to watch the film. " See the film. It's about a woman who is very contradictory in life. I am not sure if she wants love or not in her life. She seems very confused. But watch the film to understand what she is all about. I made a film and decided to follow her character. I really don’t know her actually," the director said ambiguously.
