Say what you will about the films of Robert Rodriguez , which have varied in quality pretty drastically since El Mariachi put him on the map in the early 1990s, but the guy obviously has a boundless passion for making movies. He also has a passion for pulling back the curtain to reveal the process of filmmaking, which results in the experience being demystified and younger generations being presented with practical knowledge they may not have been able to easily access otherwise. Netflix recently released a new Robert Rodriguez superhero film called We Can Be Heroes that’s aimed squarely at children, and the streamer has since released a featurette with the director describing how the visual effects were accomplished. Behind the scenes featurettes are commonplace, but this one’s different – it isn’t explicitly stated in the video, but this one seems specifically designed so kids can learn some of the secrets about how filmmaking works. We Can Be Heroes Featurette Most makin...

Kelvin Harrison Jr. , who recently played Black Panther activist Fred Hampton in Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 , will soon play another larger than life figure in a new movie. Harrison has been cast as blues icon B.B. King in Australian filmmaker  Baz Luhrmann ‘s movie about Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll. Get the details below. Hey, remember Baz Luhrmann? He’s only directed three feature films in the past twenty years (and one big Netflix show that’s since been canceled), so I suppose some of you might have put him on the back burner. Anyway, the Australian auteur is making a comeback with an Elvis movie starring  Austin Butler , the guy who played the Charles Manson acolyte Tex in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood . Tom Hanks is on board too, playing Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’s longtime manager who discovered the performer before he became “The King” and stuck with him throughout his entire career (although he was later found to have managed Elvis’s car...

It’s no secret that this year has been a nightmare all around. Any excitement we had to see movies in theaters was squashed by the end of March, and with the exception of Tenet and Wonder Woman 1984 , all the other blockbusters were pushed to next year. But even so, the reliable Sleepy Skunk delivered his 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up , and he certainly made the best out of what we’ve been given. It’s even rather uplifting and hopeful as we head into 2021. 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up Though there are far fewer movies in the 2020 Movie Trailer Mash-Up than previous iterations of the annual video, Sleepy Skunk still perfectly meshed all these movies together to create a cohesive representation of cinema this year. From Sonic the Hedgehog to Nomadland , and Wonder Woman 1984 to Mank , this was an eclectic year for movies. There are probably plenty of titles you don’t recognize above that were able to sine more brightly than they might have in a more crowded year. If you’d like to know...

If fans of Raj-DK’s  The Family Man  are wondering why they’ve to wait until so long—February 12 is the release date-- for Season 2, there is a reason for the delayed season. “One is of course is Covid, that villain of every show in 2020,” informs a source close to the project. “But there is a bigger reason why The Family Man 2 was delayed. It’s because The Family  Man 2 will be dubbed into various foreign languages by Amazon and released simultaneously across the globe, along with the original Hindi version.” This is a marketing strategy Amazon adapted after seeing the response to the first season of  The Family Man. “The Family Man in Hindi was received well all across the globe even in Hindi. To widen its reach, Amazon has now decided to dub Season 2 globally,” says my impeccable source. The directorial duo Raj and DK have a reputation of doing the unexpected, whether is India’s first zombie film ( Go Goan Gone ) or a game-changing comic...

Since the time Vikas Gupta came out of the closet as a bisexual on his social media, he mentioned that his parents had disowned him for his sexual orientation and has mentioned it on Bigg Boss 14 as well. The producer is on the show as a challenger along with 5 other contestants, out of them, Kashmera Shah has been evicted so far. While Vikas’ mother did not say anything initially, she has finally decided to break her silence on the matter and called Vikas’ allegations a hoax. Taking to her social media, Sharda Gupta wrote, “To think that we actually distanced our own (son) for his sexual orientation is equal to making a derogatory statement about my family. Yes, my son and I are not on great terms but that has nothing to do with his orientation. We had cut off ties with him much before he decided to come out in public, and we knew and have always loved him and accepted him the way he is. So the news about us distancing him cause of his choices is a complete hoax fabricated to one’s ...

The lately beleaguered Rhea Chakraborty, hounded by the media in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, is all set to make a comeback in 2021. Writer- director Rumi Jaffrey who was a close friend of Sushant and Rhea says Rhea is recuperating. “It has been a traumatic year for her. Of course the year was bad for everyone. But in her case it a trauma on another level. Can you imagine any girl from a well-to-do middleclass family spending a month in jail? It has crushed her morale completely.” Rumi says adding, “Rhea will return to her work early next year.” Rumi met Rhea and assured her that she would be welcomed in the film industry with open arms. “I met her recently. She was withdrawn and quiet. Didn’t speak much. Can’t blame her after what she has gone through. Let the heat and dust settle down. I’m sure Rhea will have a lot to say.” Also Read:  Rhea Chakraborty was one of the most searched personalities on Google in 2020 beating Kang...

Anil Kapoor was last seen in AK vs AK and the actor was lauded for his performance. He has always been a family man head over heels in love with his wife Sunita Kapoor. In his recent interview, Anil Kapoor revealed that Sunita Kapoor was initially supposed to be a part of Vikramaditya Motwane’s directorial, but was sure she did not want to do this. Sunita Kapoor’s role was to be the one who calls the shots in the house but she was sure that she did not want to face the press. She had apologized for not being a part of this journey but Anil said that they were all scared of her. Recalling an incident where Vikramaditya Motwane wanted her to do a vocal cameo like that of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, when Anil asked her about it, she gave him a look and that was enough for them to back out. This answers the question about Sunita Kapoor being missing from the film for all those asking.

Hrithik Roshan might not have announced any new movie after the super successful WAR but everyone knows that daddy Rakesh Roshan has been carefully putting together the next part of his pet project Krrish . While we earlier informed you that Krrish 4 will have a superheroine too, joining Hrithik's superhero avatar, we must tell you now that it will feature Duggu in a triple role and not a quadruple role. Yes, you heard it right. Krrish 4 will be an out and out Hrithik show all the way. While the previous two parts had Hrithik playing double roles - that of Krrish and Rohit, the fourth instalment will bring back Jaadu and Rohit from the dead. As for the third role, a source tells us, "Hrithik will not only play the main hero but also the main villain in Krrish 4 . The story has been conceptualised in such a way that both the superhero and the supervillain's role has been modelled on the superstar. It's Hrithik vs Hrithik in the finale." Previously too, Rajini...

Ranbir Kapoor recently confirmed being a part of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming action thriller. This is the genre where Ranbir has barely been seen and is more than okay to go ahead and experiment. Ranbir Kapoor was last seen on-screen back in 2018 and had been working on Brahmastra since then. Now, the actor has a few other films in his kitty and will wrap up Luv Ranjan’s untitled rom-com before beginning the prep for this one. As per the latest reports, Bobby Deol will be seen donning the antagonist’s hat once again after Race 3 and Aashram in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s yet-to-titled project. While Bobby Deol was usually seen in the protagonist’s role or a supporting role, he, too, is willing to expand his horizons and has been impressing his fans by playing the antagonist. While the project is being said to be announced at 12.01 AM on January 1,2021, the star cast so far looks pretty solid. There have been no further details regarding Bobby Deol’s role in the film so far, but it is...
