'Fast and Furious' Movie News

Justin Lin will be directing the 10th and 11th parts, as Dominic Toretto and his group of racing car fanatics bid adieu to the original line-up of the film.

The original Fast and Furious franchise is set to end.

'Fast & Furious 9' to jet Diesel, family in space

For now, let's just focus on the space travel 'cars' (I know, right!) that are getting featured in the ninth instalment of the film.

Ludacris had started the rumors of this racing action franchise leaving earth's gravitational pull to do something 'out-of-the-world,' literally!

Well, Vin Diesel was already doing it for long, isn't it?

Michelle Rodriguez aka Letty Ortiz confirmed the space rumor later.

Lin to direct it till the end

Lin has directed the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and ninth instalments of the franchise.

He is currently working on the post-production of the edgy and short-titled F9, also called the Fast and Furious 9.

This film is slated for May 28 release, pushed from the planned early release this year, due to coronavirus keeping theater footfalls at an all-time low.

Sequel of 'Fast' spin-off 'Hobbs & Shaw' is being planned

Another F&F-related news is that the sequel of its spin-off, Hobbs & Shaw, is being planned.

The film starring Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson had received positive reviews on an average.

Its script also had prominent A-listers such as Ryan Reynolds as CIA agent Victor Locke and Kevin Hart as Air Marshal Dinkley, who can shoulder the next outing, which is unconfirmed for now.

A spinoff, led by ladies, on the cards too?

As the patriarch of the franchise, is Dom (Diesel) making sure that ladies take up his mantle once he shuts down his car engine?

Last year, he took to Instagram to introduce Marvel writer Nicole Perlman to his Fast family.

Perlman, who co-wrote the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, is aboard to create a female spin-off of the racing franchise.

'Scam 1992' review.

The web series, directed by Jai and Hansal Mehta and now streaming on SonyLIV, is a detailed and lengthy portrayal of a spectacular real-life tale.

While the show has its flaws, it is worth investing your time in.

Here is our review.

The story of one of India's biggest financial scams

Scam 1992 opens on a dramatic note -- a State Bank of India employee named Sharad Bellary (Sharib Hashmi), perpetually using a handkerchief to wipe off sweat from his face, arrives at The Times of India office in Mumbai in the early 90s to give a tip-off.

Then and there, began the story of exposure of biggest stock market scam known to this country.

From rags to riches and higher

The show then cuts to a decade before, when a young, struggling lower middle class man, handling odd jobs, had dreamed of making it big.

Harshad Mehta (Pratik Gandhi) had started small, as a jobber. But his dreams and vision were just too big for that.

The man soon became an ace stockbroker, popularly called the Bachchan of BSE (or the Bombay Stock Exchange).

A fall as spectacular as the rise

Harshad Mehta's fall was perhaps as spectacular as his unbelievable rise, if not more.

Accelerated by journalist Sucheta Dalal's (Shreya Dhanwanthary) investigative reporting, and investigations by probe agencies, Mehta was accused and found guilty of multiple financial crimes committed during that time.

But interestingly, there were higher powers that had a key role to play in the scam.

The show grabs your attention, and doesn't let go

Scam 1992 successfully recreates the world of Harshad Mehta - a world of dreams, money, power and lies.

It is immersive, and to a great extent, tempting as well.

The reason that makes you stick to the lengthy 10-hour narrative is the detailed and layered writing of the show. It falters here and there, but manages to keep you engaged.

But, it's marred by unnecessary length and jargon

Having said that, it is not one of those addictive shows that can start and finish over an all-nighter.

More often than not, the episodes feel long and become slightly tedious to watch.

That's not it, it is mired with unnecessary jargon. You can't watch it in one go, without having to Google search complex business terms every now and then.

Pratik Gandhi plays Mehta with heart and soul

Pratik Gandhi plays Harshad Mehta with heart and soul.

From the way he walks to the way he talks, Gandhi gets under the skin of the man who created and sold dreams to India, and eventually snatched them away too.

In spite of many renowned actors around, Gandhi steals the show.

It's a performance that will be remembered for a long time.

To watch or not to watch?

All in all, Scam 1992 is a treat to watch.

It might ask for some patience, but its captivating storytelling, power-packed performances and the bizarrely true story behind it make it an experience that simply shouldn't be missed.

It is undeniably one of the best shows to come out of Indian web television this year.

Style Of Christopher Nolan

           In a nearly impossible filming technique and mind-boggling spectacle, more than 100 cameras surreally zoom out from Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Arthur who tussles with dream-bad guys defying the laws that usually govern space, time and motion. That is a climax sequence from one of the most ambitious films of Christopher Nolan’s Inception where cities fold in on themselves like three-dimensional maps. 

           Nolan, a self-taught filmmaker and one of the most innovative storytellers and image-makers at work in movies today not only has unconventional handling of the script, characters but also cinematography utilized in the screenplay. The director flirts with two predominant themes, time travel and tangibility of memory.

Manipulation of Time

Time is not just a motif but a character in Nolan’s movies. In Interstellar, Nolan explored Einstein’s law of relativity and identified time as the film’s antagonist. Time is so central to its theme that the movie wouldn’t work if you ripped time dilation out of it. For example, a single hour on one planet is seven years at Earth. Even the music in the movie imitates a clock. Inception, on the other hand, takes time and compounds it multiple times. A character might spend years in their dream within dreams, but only a few hours pass in the real world.

Old school filming technique

 Nolan’s filmmaking technique can be called a combination of intuition and geometry. In a cinematic world where directors rely on special effects to blur the line between reality and fantasy, Nolan relies on hand-held cameras, natural settings, and real filming locations. The very material that warrants the medium of the film being called “film” has been largely cut out of the process but for Nolan, they exist, breathing, pulsating much like his characters and his themes!

Subjective reality

 Nolan has an intriguing way to play with the concept of realism. In Inception, the characters create totems that determine if they are in reality or a dream.

Objective reality, a singular perspective, is not something Nolan wants his viewers to take back with them. This is one reason why his narrators are often unreliable. Therefore, it depends entirely on Leonardi DiCaprio’s Cobb to decide if he wants to stay in his dream with his wife or go back to reality for his kids. Nolan doesn’t answer attempts to dictate the audience consciousness of reality. On the contrary, he questions to the audience, “what is your reality?” He considers his audience intelligent and opens up a forum for discussion with changing perspectives.

Shah Rukh Khan is finally back in the Shooting..

SRK Join shooting for 'Pathan' in November

After a long hiatus of two years, Shah Rukh Khan is finally back in the game.

He is gearing up for his next film titled Pathan, the shoot of which will begin by the end of November.

This is perhaps the longest break King Khan has taken between two releases, ever since he debuted with Deewana in 1992.

The film is a high-octane action thriller

Helmed by War director Siddharth Anand and bankrolled by Yash Raj Films, Pathan is touted to be a stylish action thriller.

SRK, who is currently in the UAE cheering for his cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders in the ongoing IPL 2020, is often seen sporting long hair and a light beard. That, reportedly, is the superstar's look for the movie.

It also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham

A source told Mid-Day that the first schedule -- a two-month-long affair -- will focus solely on SRK's portions. After that, the team will take a New Year's break.

Deepika Padukone and John Abraham (who plays the antagonist), will join the second schedule that is slated for January 2021.

The film will feature dramatic action scenes featuring SRK and John, the source further informed.

Shaleena Nathani to do the styling for 'Pathan'

"Shah Rukh will sport a stylish look with outfits curated by stylist Shaleena Nathani. Like Raees (2017 movie) where he was seen wearing spectacles, this film will have him flaunting customized sunglasses," the source added.

A film with Rajkumar Hirani is coming too

SRK also reportedly has a Rajkumar Hirani movie in the pipeline.

As per reports, the film has been written by Hirani along with Kanika Dhillon and Abhijat Joshi. It will be shot across locations in Punjab and Canada.

For the unversed, King Khan was last seen in Zero (2018), also starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. However, the movie tanked at the box office.

He will also be seen in two interesting cameos

Meanwhile, SRK shot two interesting cameos during his self-imposed sabbatical.

He will be seen playing a journalist who interviews scientist Nambi Narayanan in R Madhavan's upcoming biopic Rocketry: The Nambi Effect.

And in Ayan Mukerji's ambitious superhero movie Brahmastra, he will essay the role of a scientist who appears at the film's beginning and introduces the audiences to the fantasy world.

Kurosawa’s Best Films

Beginner’s guide to Kurosawa’s best films..

Japanese cinema would have never reached the heights it has achieved today without a master filmmaker like Akira Kurosawa (1910-98).

Drunken Angel (1948)

This post-war drama, made during the American occupation of Japan, and marked the first in a long series of collaborations between Kurosawa and the actor Toshiro Mifune. Here Mifune plays a gangster who contracts tuberculosis and develops a bond with the hard-drinking doctor who diagnosed him.

Rashomon (1950)

Rashomon is the film that marked the beginning of Kurosawa’s international fame, as well as serving as an introduction to Japanese film for a foreign audience after it won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival and an honorary Oscar in 1951 and 1952 respectively. The plot revolves around four characters giving different accounts of the same occurrence, leading the audience to question the nature of truth, motivation, interpretation and recollection.

Ikiru (1952)

The main character of Ikiru (which means ‘to live’), played by Takashi Shimura, is a terminally ill bureaucrat who attempts to find a meaning and purpose to life before he passes away. It is very loosely inspired by Tolstoy’sThe Death of Ivan Ilyich.

Seven Samurai (1954)

The film is about a village under attack from a group of bandits. The villagers decide to hire seven wandering samurai to defeat the thugs before they can steal their crops. With a running time of over 200 minutes, Kurosawa’s first samurai film is a quintessential action film, and that influenced Japanese cinema and Hollywood.

Throne of Blood (1957)

In Kurosawa’s version of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the chief is introduced to the audience as living in feudal Japan. It is best remembered for the striking scene in which Mifune’s character, Macbeth’s equivalent, meets his death in a hail of arrows.

The Hidden Fortress (1958)

The story stars two humorous bumbling peasants who find themselves caught up in a major conflict involving a princess and rival warring factions, which makes you think of how R2-D2 and C-3PO got unwittingly mixed up in an epic battle between good and evil.

High and Low (1963)

This tense police procedural drama focuses on the kidnapping of a successful businessman’s son, all within the broader context of a society that was rapidly becoming more affluent and seeing an increasingly pronounced wealth gap.

Red Beard (1965)

Set in the 19th century, the story concerns a young doctor who is being trained by an older physician, and their various interactions with patients and each other. Kurosawa demonstrates the care and compassion that should be shown to all humans, regardless of status or wealth.

Ran (1985)

Based on Shakespeare’s King Lear, Ran was the most complex and expensive film of Kurosawa’s career. This is all the more impressive when one considers that Kurosawa was 75 years old during the making of the film.
