Pakistan Readies For WAAR, Their Biggest Cinematic Event Ever

Pakistan Readies For WAAR, Their Biggest Cinematic Event Ever

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 11:00 PM PDT

It has been about 18 months since we first posted the teaser for upcoming Pakistani action blockbuster Waar. In that time there has been precious little news regarding the film's ultimate fate. It hasn't released yet in Pakistan, and the director and crew have been very quiet about what's actually going on. However, just this week we have been thrown a solid bit of information in the form of an entirely new trailer featuring mostly new footage and a lot of dialogue, much of it in English.Since I went in depth into the complexities of the film's production and funding in my previous post (available below), I'll skip those details in favor of some new tidbits that I've managed to gather. Waar has completed principal...

First BESHARAM Trailer Shows Ranbir Kapoor With Charm To Spare

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 10:01 PM PDT

I'm going to be honest here. Besharam is probably not terribly Twitchy material. However, I have really grown to like Ranbir Kapoor as a performer, and his goofball act here looks right up my alley. After his amazing silent performance in Barfi! (a film that I feel has been unfairly railroaded after the initial flood of good reviews), I'm game for whatever Kapoor has up his sleeve.Also of interest in Besharam is the return of Abhinav Kashyap to the director's chair. That name could sound familiar for a couple of reasons. The first, and probably the one he'd like you to connect, is that Abhinav Kashyap directed Salman Khan's 2010's record-breaking comeback film, Dabangg. He hasn't directed anything in the interim, presumably spending his time...

Review: HELI, Unforgettable Images Drawn From A Flawed Script

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 12:00 PM PDT

In Mexico there has been a lot of buzz surrounding Amat Escalante's third feature Heli. Yes, Steven Spielberg loved it at Cannes and Danny Boyle praised it at the Guanajuato Film Festival, but there's a large group of Mexican critics who aren't quite impressed. I'm right in the middle, as Heli does hit you as an important piece that looks at the Mexican drug trade, but it also delivers weak acting, dialog, and a lazy conclusion. It feels less focused than Escalante's previous effort, Los Bastardos, and yet I'm pretty sure some of its scenes will remain with me for a long time. Heli is set in Guanajuato, Escalante's hometown, although that fact is never mentioned in the film. Hence we can say it's about any place in...

Here's An Idea: Scott Adkins As Batman

Posted: 10 Aug 2013 10:00 AM PDT

What's been gaining momentum as both a fan campaign and a mighty, meaty industry rumor -- to the point of being indistinguishable from each other -- the notion of casting Scott Adkins, martial artist and star of Undisputed III and Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning, as the Caped Crusader looks to be turning a corner. Yesterday, the following tweet on Adkins' Twitter was promptly sent out and then deleted:Some BIG news fans!! Warner Brothers have approached Scott Adkins to audition to be the new BATMAN & he has...The deletion is certainly cause to raise an eyebrow, but let's not jump to any conclusions just yet. Certainly, if Warner Bros. wants to get their Batman vs. Superman movie out in 2015, that means Batman casting is...
