Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao says Kingo in "Eternals" is a character that "loves pop culture and showmanship", which is why making him a Bollywood star grooving to a "beautiful, joyous dance sequence" in the big Marvel movie felt "incredible". The "Nomadland" director said Kingo, played by Pakistani-American star Kumail Nanjiani, was always supposed to be a Bollywood hero. "When I came into the process, there was a treatment and in the treatment, there are always stories and parts that take place in Mumbai. Kingo is a Bollywood star in the present day and I thought that was so interesting because we knew Kingo is going to be a character that embraced the side of humanity that loves pop culture, that loves storytelling, that showmanship," Zhao said responding to a question from PTI during a round table interview with international journalists over Zoom. On bringing together different cultural elements to a superhero film, the Chinese-American director said …

Taapsee Pannu has always been unapologetic about the choices she has made in her career. In the last few years, the actress has taken up many women-centric films and earned rave reviews for it. However, there is a section of critics who feel that she might soon get typecast as an actress essaying only strong women characters. Taapsee in her recent chat with writer-director Nikhil Taneja at the ongoing India Film Project opened up on this and said that she is fine with this typecast as she prefers these roles over "vulnerable" women who have no agency. The actress emphasized that she won't take up a weak character just to please the critics. Taapsee Pannu Reveals It Was A Conscious Call To Not Play Pregnancy Card In Rashmi Rocket "If this is a stereotyping, that every film of mine is going to have a strong woman character who is going to stand up for herself, I am perfectly fine with that stereotyping.

Over Zoom, I ask the writer and director Richard Kelly if he’s aware of Phoebe Bridgers. The cover art for her groundbreaking album, Punisher, features the musician wearing a Halloween-esque skeleton costume in the California desert, her neck craned towards the sky. The look is partly a reference to Donnie Darko, Kelly’s debut feature. In the music video for Bridgers’ single “I Know the End,” she even accents the jumpsuit with a grey zip-up sweatshirt, just like the one Jake Gyllenhaal, playing the film’s titular character, wore in the movie’s climax. “I know of Phoebe Bridgers. I hadn’t seen her wearing that costume, but I think that’s great,” Kelly says. “When I wrote that costume into the screenplay, I never thought it would ever become anything iconic because to me it was just a simple idea — one of those costumes that you buy at Kmart or something.” Released wide on October 26th, 2001 , Donnie Darko tells the story of a troubled teenager named Donnie who’s …

New details about an alleged feud between Harvey Weinstein and Robin Williams have been revealed. According to filmmaker Kevin Smith, who served as a co-executive producer on Good Will Hunting , Weinstein pulled the movie from theaters early despite its continuing box office and critical success. This was allegedly done just to prevent paying out more to one of its lead stars in Williams, whose deal to appear in Good Will Hunting was tied into its box office performance. Kevin Smith made the revelation public in his new book, Kevin Smith's Secret Stash . He elaborated on the subject in an interview with The Daily Beast, pointing the blame squarely at Harvey Weinstein for cutting Good Will Hunting 's run in movie theaters short when it could have done even better. As Smith explains, Williams would have gotten a bigger chunk of the profits if the movie surpassed a certain number, and Harvey Weinstein wasn't having it. "I remember they pulled that movie out of …
