She joins Jensen Ackles and Aya Cash, stars and executive producers, who will reprise their original The Boys roles of Soldier Boy and Stormfront, respectively.

Vicky Kaushal-led Chhaava is ready to surprise everyone the way it is trending in advance booking at the Indian box office. After a solid response to the teaser and the trailer, everyone expected the film to do well, but now, it is clearly heading for a much bigger start. Backed by strong performance in Maharashtra, the upcoming Bollywood biggie has already surpassed the day 1 pre-sales of Gully Boy, which is Bollywood’s biggest opener on Valentine’s Day.

Directed by Laxman Utekar, the magnum opus is based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The concept itself is a major attraction, and the makers have played well so far with promos, resulting in good buzz and excitement at the ground level.

Quick LinksAvatar 3 Won't Be as Black and WhiteThe Avatar Series Prioritizes Special Effects Over Nuanced StorytellingDune Is What Avatar Wishes It Was

James Cameron's Avatar franchise only has two entries so far, but it's still one of the most successful film franchises in the past two decades. Now, fans are looking forward to Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film, which will release in late 2025. While some might be worried that it's "more of the same," Cameron is already promising changes that will shift the franchise for the better.

Something that Cameron is already promising is that Avatar 3 will have more nuance with its plot and characters. This addresses a major complaint about the first two movies, but these narrative elements might have helped those films, too. In fact, it all feels like a reaction to another franchise somewhat stealing Avatar's thematic thunder.

Which Actors Will Star In Gully Boy 2 In Place Of Ranveer Singh-Alia Bhatt? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Gully Boy might be getting a sequel soon! The beloved 2019 film, which was India’s official entry for the Oscars, is reportedly getting a second part. However, we may not see the iconic duo of Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt return to the film.

Instead, the makers are reportedly in talks with Vicky Kaushal and Ananya Panday about taking the franchise forward. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, Gully Boy explores the lives of street rappers in Mumbai and was one of the biggest hits of 2019.

Vicky Kaushal & Ananya Panday In Talks To Star In Gully Boy 2

According to a report by Filmfare, producers Excel Entertainment and Tiger Baby Films are eying Vicky Kaushal and Ananya Panday for the lead roles in Gully Boy 2. Though Ranveer and Alia gave memorable performances as Murad Ahmed...

Exclusive: When a company called Rich Spirit recently stepped in to fill a multi-million dollar hole on controversial Donald Trump movie The Apprentice after producer-financier Kinematics exited the project, many wondered: Who is Rich Spirit?

Today we can give you that answer and more, including an interview with founder James Shani about next steps.

Ali Abbasi-directed The Apprentice, starring Sebastian Stan as Trump, Jeremy Strong as his fixer Roy Cohn and Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, debuted to acclaim at Cannes but became bogged down by legal threats from the former President who took exception to the material. Then producers had to deal with main financier Kinematics — some of whose projects, including The Apprentice, have been backed by Trump supporter Dan Snyder — exiting the movie. All this got in the way of the team securing domestic distribution, which is now set with Tom Ortenberg’s Briarcliff for an October 11 release.

Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt led Gully Boy was a massive blockbuster upon release in 2019. The musical drama was based on the lives of music artists Divine and Naezy. While the film brought immense popularity to street rappers in India, the Bigg Boss Ott 3 contestant is seemingly unhappy with his portrayal. Scroll below for all the details!

Naezy is currently enjoying a lot of limelight over his participation in Bigg Boss Ott 3. He left behind popular personalities like Ranvir Shorey, Armaan Malik, and others to land in the Top 2. He was eventually declared the runner-up as his friend Sana Makbul took home the winning trophy.

The fictional story of Ranveer Singh, aka Murads’s love life and relationship with family, is said to be inspired by Naezy’s life. However, the rapper feels Gully Boy did not benefit him; instead,...

Headlines related to Jonathan Majors of late have been related to the terrible controversy that led to his exit from the MCU, even before he could take off. Convicted of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, Majors has undoubtedly received a major blow to his acting career that he might even never recover from completely.

However, even if that turns out true, he has to a great extent, already proved his acting talent to Hollywood and his fans. With movies such as Out of Blue, Gully, and The Harder They Fall, the 34-year-old already has an acting legacy that will be remembered for a long time.

That also includes his work for and in Magazine Dreams. Not only did Jonathan Majors impress with his character of Killian Maddox, he also pulled off an insane body transformation that even scared his director,...

Amber Heard can easily be called one of the most controversial figures in the film industry. Her very public trial with Johnny Depp left her reputation in the dust, and she came out of the entire debacle as one of the most hated people in Hollywood. There is no denying that such events would affect both the personal and professional lives of someone.

While Heard has made efforts to contain the damage to her personal life by moving locations, her professional life is a completely different situation. There is no denying that after the trial, her days in the film industry were numbered, making it difficult for her to get any success and build off after such fallout. However, looking at the past shows us something else altogether.

Rapper Travis Scott stars in the first trailer for his and director Harmony Korine’s indie film “Aggro Dr1ft,” which was shot entirely in infrared.

The short trailer is bathed in the starkly contrasted colors of the infrared lens, and it follows an assassin on his journey. “Breaking away from the traditional parameters of cinema, ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ explores the onslaught of digital ephemera and interrogates modern life through the vernacular of video games. Shot entirely through an infrared lens, the film follows a Miami Beach hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target,” reads the logline.

“As it is, ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ is visually thrilling but somewhat tedious to sit through — better as wallpaper than the main attraction,” wrote Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge in his review. “Still, as with James Cameron’s ‘Avatar,’ there’s wisdom in the generic quality of his script. Cameron was...

Ah Hollywood. The evil temptress where talent often overshadows any sort of character flaw. Many people claim it to be a new development with the advent of social media, where a person tweets out something dumb ten years ago only to have it brought back up when they have a new Netflix movie dropping. But actually, celebrities have seen their careers implode long before people posted pictures of their dinners online for the world to see. Think back to the story of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, one of the highest-paid silent film stars of the era whose talent and fame were overshadowed when a woman was assaulted and subsequently died at a party hosted by the famed comedian. Arbuckle was acquitted of the crimes, but his career never recovered. We have never seen a career implosion like we witnessed in 2023 when an emerging talent had a genuine break-out year that was...

Pictures: Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox

We’re only a handful of days into the New Year, but we’re already receiving news of what movies and TV shows will leave Netflix UK in February 2024.

In case you missed it, we’re also keeping track of all of the movies and TV shows leaving Netflix UK in January 2024. If you’re looking for the US removals list, you can find all the departures for those in our February list here.

As a reminder, we typically get word of Netflix removals around 30 days before they’re due to happen. Netflix removes titles because much of its library consists of licensed titles. These licensed titles are essentially rented to Netflix for a fixed period of time, and when that time is up, they’re removed from the platform.

Unlike the United States, Netflix UK doesn’t confirm or publicize its own list of removals,...

Actress Alia Bhatt has shared her album of the New Year celebrations, and it is full of love, as we get a glimpse of her husband Ranbir Kapoor and cute little bundle of joy Raha. Alia dropped a string of photos that shows the ‘Brahmastra’ actress enjoying the new year’s eve with her loved ones.

In the first picture, Alia can be seen getting a tight kiss on her cheeks from Ranbir, while the two are in celebratory mode.

Another photo is a solo picture of Alia in which she can be seen wearing a sleeveless white dress, with low neckline, and a butterfly headband. She is seen sitting in a club.

The third picture shows Alia holding her baby daughter Raha in her arms, against the backdrop of sunset, and picturesque sea.

The photo seems to be clicked from one of their family vacations. Raha is cutely waving in the picture.

It has been confirmed that Ranveer Singh will be the star of Brahmastra Part 2: Dev. The actor will play the antagonist and Shiva’s father, Dev. Ranbir Kapoor played the lead Shiva in the film, and the antagonist, Dev, was introduced in the first part itself. Interestingly, Deepika Padukone will play Amrita, Dev’s love interest and Ranbir Kapoor’s on-screen mother in part 2.

Now, it is yet to be confirmed if the Animal actor will have a full-fledged role in Brahmastra’s next part, which is scheduled to go on floors in 2025. However, updates for this film have been shared by him in the past as well.

If the buzz is to be believed, then Part 2 will have Dev and Shiva cross paths, and ultimately, the clash...

Jonathan Majors Career Timeline In A Glimpse(Photo Credit –IMDb)

Jonathan Majors has gained much recognition for his role as Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He started his career on the small screen and is now associated with one of the highest-grossing studios. However, his professional life has taken a hit with the assault charges against him, and the trial is underway; let us look at his career timeline from When We Rise to Creed III and Loki 2.

The actor was born in California and studied at Duncanville High School. He was so inspired by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, especially by Heath Ledger’s Joker, that he joined the theatres. He then went to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts to get his bachelor’s degree and earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Drama in 2016.

The work of Italian auteur Luca Guadagnino will be celebrated at a Jio Mami Mumbai Film Festival event.

The celebration will be hosted by Indian filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti’s Tiger Baby.

Prior to the event, Guadagnino will deliver a masterclass at the festival. The filmmaker was accorded the festival’s Excellence in Cinema (International) award by chair Priyanka Chopra Jonas at the opening ceremony on Oct. 27. The festival is screening Guadagnino’s Oscar and BAFTA nominated “I Am Love” (2009).

Guadagnino’s films include “A Bigger Splash” (2015), the Oscar-winning film “Call Me By Your Name” (2017), “Suspiria” (2018) and feature documentary “Salvatore: Shoemaker of Dreams” (2020). “Bones and All” (2022) won Guadagnino the Silver Lion for best director at Venice. He made his TV debut with the HBO drama series “We Are Who We Are” (2020). His film “Challengers,” starring Zendaya, Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor, is due in April 2024, and he is...

Jonathan Majors may have just gotten a break as far as his reputation goes, as Grace Jabbari – the woman who accused him of assault and harassment back in March – was arrested for “suspicion of misdemeanor assault and misdemeanor criminal mischief”, according to The New York Times.

Grace Jabbari’s arrest was a result of a counterclaim from Jonathan Majors, who alleged that she was actually the one who assaulted him. However, Jabbari was not prosecuted and was released. She will, however, have to appear in court at a later date. Despite no prosecution, one does wonder how the public perception of Majors may change. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise if there is indeed a shift; just as many declared Majors guilty immediately after his arrest – his talent agency dropped him the month after – there will most certainly be people that point to Jabbari’s arrest and pin her as the guilty one.

Travis Scott recently put himself forward for the currently vacant composer role on Marvel Studios' upcoming Blade reboot.

Rapper, singer/songwriter, and producer Scott expressed interest in overseeing Blade's score in a post on X. "Woke up thinking I would love to do the soundtrack to Blade," he wrote. Scott is certainly no stranger to film productions, having starred in, and developed music for, 2021's Gully. The musician also signed a movie development deal with independent studio A24 in August 2021. That said, there's no indication that Scott and Marvel Studios have actually discussed the possibility of him contributing to Blade's soundtrack at this stage.

The Archies, a Hindi-language musical film based on the beloved comics, is finally set to release on Netflix on December 7th, 2023. The film features a talented cast of young Indian stars, including Agastya Nanda as Archie Andrews and Suhana Khan as Veronica Lodge. While not directly connected to the popular Riverdale series, The Archies aims to capture the same playful spirit that made Archie Comics so beloved, with a unique South-Asian twist.

Archie Andrews and the entire Riverdale gang come to the big screen for the first time in Netflix's Hindi-language musical film The Archies. Based on the wildly popular comics, The Archies is an Indian adaptation of the beloved characters and follows their coming-of-age hijinks in the 1960s but with a distinctly South-Asian flare. The long-awaited streaming-exclusive film continues the legacy of the Archie character and broadens the horizons of the franchise as its popularity expands globally. The comics...

Amber Heard has been easing back into official public life gently at Italy’s Taormina Film Festival over the past few days, accompanying the world premiere of her new film In The Fire by Conor Allyn.

Heard stars as an American psychiatrist who travels to a remote plantation in Colombia in the 1890s to treat a disturbed boy and finds herself in a war of science versus religion with the local priest who believes the child is possessed by the devil.

The actress took to the stage ahead of the world premiere against the backdrop of Taormina’s ancient Greek amphitheatre on Saturday evening with Allyn and cast members Eduardo Noriega and Luca Calvani, in her first such appearance since Gully at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019.

Exclusive: WME has signed filmmaker Mark Jenkin (Enys Men) for representation in all areas.

A true multi-hyphenate, who has worked as a director, editor, screenwriter, cinematographer and composer over the course of his career, Jenkin most recently wrote and directed the folk horror film Enys Men, which was picked up for distribution in North America by Neon following its Cannes Directors’ Fortnight world premiere.

Starring Mary Woodvine, Edward Rowe, Flo Crowe and John Woodvine, the experimental feature shot on 16mm follows a wildlife volunteer living on an otherwise uninhabited island off the Cornish coast in 1973, as her daily observations of a rare flower turn into a metaphysical journey that forces her as well as the viewer to question what is real and what is nightmare.

Jenkin previously broke out with his debut feature Bait, which won the BAFTA Award for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer in...

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, who has been in the UK for a few days, recently attended the Premier League games. The actor is known for his passion for football, and attended the matches of Fulham and Manchester City and Leicester City vs. Everton before concluding with a visit to the Emirates to watch Arsenal vs. Chelsea.

The ‘Gully Boy’ star interacted with Indian Leicester City fans prior to seeing the game between Leicester City and Everton at the King Power Stadium. He discussed their favourite Premier League memories with the fans of the club, including their title win in Season 2015/16, and paid his respects to the club’s former owner, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, at his shrine at the King Power Stadium.

Talking about his experience on matchday during this trip, the actor, who is the Premier League’s ambassador for India, said, “It was magical to experience the atmosphere at the stadiums during the matches,...

Miguel has unveiled a new song called “Give It to Me.” Listen to the single below.

Produced by early Kendrick Lamar collaborator Scoop DeVille, the track features a scorching guitar riff that comes in right before the chorus and includes sultry lyrics like, “Curve your inhibition tonight, give you violent peace/ You been locked down, I got the key, yeah/ Lil’ devil, set you free.”

“Give It to Me” arrives after Miguel’s 2021 EP Art Dealer Chic Vol. 4, which was followed by his Gully soundtrack contribution “Violent Dreams.” His last full-length, War & Leisure, dropped in 2017.

The R&b singer is currently experiencing a resurgence with his 2010 single “Sure Thing,” which went viral on TikTok earlier this year. It currently sits at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Next month, Miguel will play the Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas.

Bollywood A-lister Alia Bhatt is enjoying a roaring 2022.

“Gangubai Kathiawadi,” in which she played the central, title role, had its world premiere as a Berlinale gala screening, was a box office success and was the #1 non-English film and the #1 film in 25 countries on Netflix globally. “Rrr,” in which she’s one of the leads, is one of the biggest Indian hits of the year.

And now, “Darlings,” Bhatt’s debut as producer, via her Eternal Sunshine Productions, is set for a worldwide debut on Netflix on Aug. 5. The film, where Bhatt also stars as a victim of domestic abuse who decides to take matters into her own hands, manages the feat of treating a serious subject with a dark comedy filter, without it being insensitive. It is directed by feature debutant Jasmeet K. Reen and written by Reen, Parveez Sheikh (“Queen”) and Vijay Maurya (“Gully Boy”).

Feb.

The new year is continuing apace at Hulu. The streamer’s list of new releases for February 2022 is highlighted by one very interesting project.

Pam and Tommy is set to premiere on Feb. 2. Perhaps the Groundhog Day release date is intentional as the show will cover a particular moment of celebrity, sex, and exploitation from the early ’90s that seems to have repeated itself over and over. Sebastian Stan and Lily James star as Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson and the series follows the events and fallout of their homemade sex tape being stolen and unleashed on a nascent internet. If nothing else, getting the promo photos of Stan and James as the ’90s stars was worth it.

BBC One’s hit primetime gameshow “This is My House” has been renewed for an extended run of ten episodes in a 30-minute format.

The guessing game format created by Richard Bacon and U.S.-based TV producer Nick Weidenfeld will once again see four people all claim to be the same person and that “This Is My House.” A panel of celebrities will attempt to tell which “homeowner” is telling the truth and which are the actors.

The first season performed particularly well among younger audiences and was a rage on social media, the BBC said.

“I loved seeing the way the audience responded to the show. Especially on social media as it was happening,” Bacon said. “It’s given me the confidence to lean right into the absurd humor this time. Also, I’m proud of the fact it did so well with young audiences.”

Pop Smoke receives a Baroque-style tribute in the new video for “Demeanor,” the late rapper’s posthumous single with Dua Lipa.

Set during a lavish banquet/party in a castle on a hilltop, the video portrays Pop Smoke both as the subject of a divine portrait on the wall — mimicking The Last Supper — and as a ghostly cloud seated at the head of the table. Dua Lipa appears later in the clip, dressed as Marie Antoinette and showing up in multiple places around the banquet hall, dancing and feasting on the table spread.

Damian Marley has teamed up with music video director and Evidence Creative Director Nabil Elderkin, as well as cannabis entrepreneur, artist and philanthropist Berner and music manager and Evidence co-founder Dan Dalton, to create a new short video promoting social justice for those convicted of weed violations.

Amber Heard is paying no mind to the critics consistently calling for her firing from Aquaman 2, as the actress fired back by expressing how excited she is to start filming. This week, director James Wan revealed that the upcoming superhero sequel will officially be called Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The sequel will bring back Jason Momoa as the titular Justice League member with Heard co-starring as Mera, reprising her role from the original movie.

The Aquaman 2 news reignited the fan campaign for Amber Heard to be fired from the sequel. On Twitter, her name was quickly trending as tens of thousands of people condemned Heard's involvement. It also led to more names being added to the growing petition on Change.org for the role of Mera to be recast, which has now garnered more than 1.84 million signatures. The backlash is certainly impossible to ignore, but it appears...

There’s a certain kind of music-video director who will seize on the prospect of doing a movie as an opportunity to make a splash. It’s not hard to see why. In-demand video directors work with the hottest talent in the business, and their videos tend to be celebrated as four-minute bursts of genius. “Gully” is the first dramatic feature directed by Nabil Elderkin, the Australian-American director — usually credited simply as “Nabil” — who has made videos for Kanye West, Dua Lipa, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, the Black Eyed Peas, John Legend, Diddy, Shrillex, and Antony and the Johnsons. You can glimpse his talent in “Gully” — not because it’s a film of showoff imagery (it’s actually got a rather unvarnished low-budget aesthetic), but because the movie looks, for a while, like it’s trying to be “Boyz n the Hood” meets “A Clockwork Orange,...

Epic Records has announced the release of the star-studded “Gully” soundtrack, featuring new music from Dua Lipa, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla $ign, Miguel and more.

Opening in theaters on June 4 and VOD on June 8, “Gully” is the big screen directorial debut from Nabil, who also executive produces the soundtrack. Nabil is no stranger to working with A-list musicians — over the years, the mononymous videographer and photographer has directed music videos for such artists as Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean and Arctic Monkeys.

The nine-song soundtrack features a new single from 21 Savage called “Betrayed,” which will launch on Friday (June 4) with a visual directed by Nabil, alongside a new Dua Lipa track, “Can They Hear Us.” Ty Dolla $ign, Schoolboy Q and B-Real have teamed up for “Blacks n Mexicans.” The soundtrack also features music from Snoh Aalegra, Gary Clark Jr., 2 Chainz, Don Toliver, Sleepy Rose, Mike Will Made-It and Buddy.

The ensemble cast features Kelvin Harrison Jr., Charlie Plummer, Jacob Latimore, Jonathan Majors, Amber Heard, Travis Scott, John Corbett, and Terrence Howard. This looks like one wild and crazy film. As fun as it seems, I haven't heard much about it which isn't a good sign...

At the beginning of the new trailer for the upcoming drama, “Gully,” the film presents itself as a fairly typical coming-of-age story about three friends growing up in Los Angeles. However, that idea gets thrown out of the window pretty quickly when you see what the film really has up its sleeve, as it evolves into a thriller with obvious video game imagery and violence, as the life of the three leads gets thrown into chaos.

Sparkling lights reflect on the car. Murad is the driver – he drives that expensive car for his boss. It’s parked in front of a star hotel and the privileged guests are talking and walking around. The camera pans on the intense eyes of Murad- he wants to break free. He hums – Apna Time Aayega (My or our time will come). And director Zoya Akhtar brings in the flavor of socialism in the epic story of victory of the underprivileged in “Gully Boy”, where dream meets reality.

Amber Heard has only appeared in one movie since she played the female lead in the highest-grossing DC Comics adaptation ever made, and last year’s low budget drama Gully slipped entirely under the radar. The actress may not have lost her job starring in a major Warner Bros. franchise after ex-husband Johnny Depp was booted from Fantastic Beasts thanks to coming out on the losing end of his libel case against a British tabloid, but the negative publicity could soon see offers dry up for the Dceu’s Mera.

So far, Heard has ignored any and all of the backlash surrounding her continued involvement in the superhero sequel, and has even suggested that the campaigns against her are being funded in an effort to damage her reputation. Seeing as the initial petition to have her replaced as Mera in Aquaman 2 has gathered over a million signatures, if her...

This year, the motion picture academy achieved its five-year goal of doubling the number of women among its membership. In all, 819 film professionals were invited to become part of the organization that hands out the Oscars. Compare this intake to the totals of the previous five years: 842 in 2019; a record 928 in 2018; 774 in 2017; 683 in 2016; 322 in 2015; and 271 in 2014.

While Academy Awards nominees are automatically eligible for consideration, the rest of the candidates must go through a fairly cumbersome process. A candidate must meet certain branch specific requirements before even being eligible.

For example, actors must “have a minimum of three theatrical feature film credits, in all of which the roles played were scripted roles, one of which was released in the past five years, and all of which are of a caliber that reflect the high standards of the Academy.” For writers, directors and producers they need have just two of these credits.

?Filmfare awards 2020 is a spiritual awakening for this country?, says Mani Kapoor ?note?d filmmaker and spokesperson of Filmfare awards in an exclusive chat with this author. Excerpts from the conversation.

It?s the morning after the coveted night at Guwahati, as the twitterati are losing their cool and keeping my phone hysterically buzzing with post ranting for what is believed to be the most namakool (ridiculous) award?s night. Zoya Akhtar directed Gully Boy starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt has swept the awards night by bagging best picture, actor, director, and actress etc, leaving the much deserving Uri: The Surgical Strike, Sonchiriya, Hamid, The Tashkent Files, Batla House, and Section 375 way behind in the race. The nonstop vibration on my phone gets interrupted by a ring tone. It?s noted producer Mani Kapoor on the line and is highly elated.

Hello Mani this side, many many congrats he says,...
