OpenAI founder Sam Altman’s biopic, Artificial, finds new backer in Neon after being dropped by Amazon

Published by Parlour News

Artificial, Luca Guadagnino’s starry film about Sam Altman and OpenAI, generated quite a few headlines in June when Amazon MGM Studios backed out of producing it. This left the almost-completed film in limbo. But now, a new production house has acquired it, pretty much reviving the film from the dead. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is played by Andrew Garfiled in Artificial. Neon acquires Artificial Indie distributor Neon said on Tuesday that it had bought the film following a bidding process, according to a report by Associated Press. Neon has said that it plans to release the film later this year and “compete in this year’s Oscar race.” Neon declined to disclose how much it paid for the worldwide rights to Artificial. “The acquisition underscores Neon’s commitment to partnering with visionary filmmakers, and bringing ambitious cinema to audiences around the world,” the studio said in a statement.

Tamil film Blast finds women leading the action, with Abhirami and Preity Mukhundhan saving the day

Published by Parlour News

Action films have mainly been a genre that has been dominated by men on screen. So it is always refreshing to see when women claim that space, when filmmakers take chances, and when audiences warm up to it. Such an example is the recent Tamil film Blast, which is now available to watch on Netflix. Abhirami and Preity Mukhundhan star as the leading mother-daughter duo in the film. A refreshing female-led action film The action thriller starts off easy and steadily unveils its world- where women are just as capable of taking care of themselves and landing the perfect kick. The film finds Abhirami and Preity Mukundhan delivering some of the best action choreography seen in recent years, where the everydayness of its scenes and the slick nature of its build-up make it so enjoyable. At 42, Abhirami gets one of her best roles yet in Blast. She is no wonder woman, as Blast does not start off highlighting her character- the perenially anxious Neelaveni who fears that her young daughter Nila (Preity Mukundhan) might …

From Jab We Met to Main Vaapas Aaunga, Imtiaz Ali finally finds the home he fled | Bollywood News

From Jab We Met to Main Vaapas Aaunga, Imtiaz Ali finally finds the home he fled | Bollywood News

Published by Webster

Watching Imtiaz Ali’s new film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, made me wonder where Geet (Kareena Kapoor) from his 2007 hit romantic comedy Jab We Met would fit into its world. Desperate to flee her palatial Patiala home, Geet manifested — and relentlessly chased — an isolated life in the mountains with her love interest, Anshuman. Like Geet does through the film, Imtiaz has also come of age through his career, as one can witness in his latest directorial. Presumably, like Naseeruddin Shah’s character Keenu in Main Vaapas Aaunga, Geet’s ancestors also hailed from Punjab on the other side of the border. Like countless immigrants during the Partition, they would’ve also had to relinquish their homes and lands, get on a train overflowing with people, and set out for an unfamiliar, yet presumably safe destination in what was now a different country. For refugees who’ve struggled hard to make ends meet and give their descendants a life they never had, it’d be rather puzzling to wrap their head around a young daughter of their family who wants …

‘Don’t blame the actress’: Janhvi Kapoor finds support from Ashika Ranganath amid row over her objectification in Peddi

Published by Parlour News

Director Buchi Babu Sana’s sports action drama Peddi has come under intense scrutiny over the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor‘s character, Achiyyamma. Many questioned the hypersexualisation of its female lead and zooming in on her body parts, even as the male lead describes her face’s beauty. Actor Ashika Ranganath, who works in Kannada, Telugu and Tamil films, has now come in support of Janhvi and urged viewers to question the system. Janhvi Kapoor in a still from Peddi. What Ashika wrote Ashika took to her Instagram Stories and shared a post which detailed how female characters are often added in commercial films to enhance the glamourous side and show the male hero’s appeal. In the caption, she wrote, “Don’t blame the actress. Blame the system and the makers who still thinks this is what sells. Actors often work within the opportunities available to them, hoping to be a part of bigger films and reach wider audiences. If female characters feel underwritten, the responsibility lies more with the writing and filmmaking choices than with the women playing …

Masters of the Universe: He Man finds his power again in a nostalgic and crowd-pleasing adventure

Masters of the Universe: He Man finds his power again in a nostalgic and crowd-pleasing adventure

Published by Parlour News

I had a faint recollection of He-Man‘s iconic ‘I have the power!’ battle cry as I settled in to watch the new live-action adaptation. Like many children of the 90s, I had been fascinated by the cartoon hero whose transformation from Prince Adam to the mighty He-Man felt nothing short of magical. With a live-action film arriving in cinemas, and without having revisited any other adaptation post that, there was some nostalgia. The real question, however, was whether a story that once captivated children could still resonate with the same audience now all grown up. A still from Masters of the Universe The story revolves around Prince Adam, forced to flee his home planet after Skeletor launches an attack and seizes control. During his escape to Earth, he loses his mighty sword, the very source of his power, and spends years searching for it. When he finally finds it, Skeletor’s forces are quick to close in, setting the stage for a battle that drives the rest of the film. The simplicity of the narrative works …
