Bill Murray speaks out about ‘Being Mortal’ film shutdown, saying ‘I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way’

Actor and comedian Bill Murray addressed the production shutdown of his latest film, “Being Mortal,” in the wake of reports of a complaint against him.

Fox Searchlight told the film crew in an email last month that the film was being shut down due to an unspecified complaint but didn’t confirm Murray was involved, Deadline first reported on April 20.

On Saturday, Murray was attending the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska. The actor, who’s a shareholder, told CNBC that he had a “difference of opinion” with a woman on the set of “Being Mortal.” But Murray said he was optimistic that he and the woman, whom he didn’t name, could “make peace.”

“We had a difference of opinion; I had a difference of opinion with a woman I’m working with. I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” Murray said. “The company, the movie studio wanted to do the right thing. So, they wanted to check it all out and investigate it and so they stopped the production. But as of now we’re talking and we’re trying to make peace with each other.”

The nature of the complaint has not been made public, but Murray said he had been thinking a lot about what happened, and it has been “quite an education” for him, according to the interview he gave CNBC.

“You know what I always thought was funny as a little kid isn’t necessarily the same as what’s funny now. Things change and the times change, so it’s important for me to figure it out,” Murray said. “I think the most important thing is that it’s best for the other person. I thought about and that it’s not best for the other person, doesn’t matter what happens for me. And that gave me a great deal of comfort and relaxation because your brain doesn’t operate well when you’re in the unknown, when you’re thinking like, ‘well, how can I be so…how can I misperceive? How can I be so inaccurate and so insensitive,’ when you think you’re being sensitive to some sensibility that you’ve had for a long time.”

The actor also told CNBC he hopes to work out his differences with the woman and restart production of “Being Mortal.”

“What would make me the happiest would be to put my boots on and for both of us to go back into work and be able to trust each other and work at the work that we both spent a lot of time developing the skill of,” Murray said to CNBC. “And hopefully do something that’s good for more than just the two of us, but for a whole crew of people who are movie makers and the movie studio as well.”

The movie, featuring Bill Murray, Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer, and directed by Aziz Ansari, is based on Atul Gawande’s non-fiction book “Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Ansari wrote the script and was also expected to play a role in the film.

Searchlight Pictures has not responded to multiple requests from CNN for comment.

Forget Harry Potter’s Cloak, a Real-Life Invisibility Shield is Now Taking Orders

Invisibility Shield Co,

Forget Harry Potter’s cloak, a British company claim to have made a real-life invisibility shield.

London-based Invisibility Shield Co. say the fully functional shields can hide a whole person.

The firm explains the innovation uses a precision engineered lens array to direct much of the light reflected from the subject away from the observer. This sends it sideways across the face of the shield to the left and right.

From the observer’s perspective, background light is effectively smeared horizontally across the front face of the shield, over the area where the subject would ordinarily be seen.

Invisibility Shield Co. say, “The shields perform at their absolute best against uniform backgrounds such as foliage, grass, rendered walls, sand, sky, and asphalt.

“Backgrounds with defined horizontal lines work really well too and these can be natural features such as the horizon or man-made features like walls, rails, or painted lines.”

Invisibility Shield Co,

The makers are offering a small shield (310 x 210mm) to hide ‘everyday items for £49 ($64).

SWNS

There is also a full-size 950 x 650mm version that can hide a person. Estimated delivery is expected by December.

Currently, 25 shields have been developed, and the team is funding on Kickstarter to ramp-up capacity to develop more.

Invisibility Shield Co,

They explain, “Disappointed by the lack of progress and the continued unavailability of actual working invisibility shields, we decided to step things up and go all in on our project to create one.

Invisibility Shield Co,

“We went through countless iterations, tested a lot of materials, and experienced a lot of failure.

Invisibility Shield Co,

“But along the way, we managed to develop a reliable, scalable, and efficient manufacturing process and created what we believe are the best invisibility shields ever made.”

What to watch this weekend: Ben Affleck in ‘Deep Water,’ Amazon’s ‘Master,’ Netflix’s ‘Windfall’

By  in May 1st 2022   No Comment »
Filed Under Movie Rental     Tags:      

Ben Affleck and his ex Ana de Armas play complicated lovers in a Hulu erotic thriller based on a Patricia Highsmith novel, while Lily Collins and Jesse Plemons are a couple hounded by Jason Segel in a Hitchcockian Netflix movie. Regina Hall headlines an Amazon Prime social horror film (and Sundance Film Festival highlight) that explores witchy history and systemic racism, and Oscar winner Mark Rylance headlines a period crime drama alongside Dylan O’Brien.

Here’s a guide to new movies that’ll satisfy every cinematic taste, plus some noteworthy theatrical films making their home video debut on demand: 

Oscar movies:Stream these best picture contenders now

If you want to see the movie that won’t be part of a Ben Affleck/JLo date night: ‘Deep Water’

“Flashdance” and “Fatal Attraction” filmmaker Adrian Lyne hasn’t directed a movie in 20 years but for some reason came back for this. This throwback to ludicrous ’90s thrillers stars Affleck and de Armas as a snail-loving rich guy and his boundary-pushing wife. They have an open relationship to keep their marriage together, she seduces dudes in front of him, and her lovers have a tendency to go missing and/or wind up dead. Let’s just say Affleck has better chemistry with the snails.

Where to watch: Hulu

If you enjoy terrific and thoughtful horror flicks: ‘Master’

Set at an elite New England college, director Mariama Diallo’s sinister, twisty and thought-provoking delight stars Hall as a new dean of students (aka “master”) who sees ghosts and terrifying images while Zoe Renee is a freshman placed in a supposedly haunted dorm room. Spooky things are afoot in the locale, which was the site of a Salem-era gallows, though the scariest matters are the microaggressions and non-supernatural obstacles both Black women face.

Where to watch: Amazon Prime

‘Master’:Regina Hall co-stars with ‘some very diva maggots’ in new horror film

If you dig old-school gangster films: ‘The Outfit’

Oscar-winning writer Graham Moore (“The Imitation Game”) makes his directorial debut with this intriguing and intimate 1950s-set crime story, starring Rylance as Leonard, an Englishman who runs a Chicago tailor shop frequented by gangsters. When young hoods (O’Brien and Johnny Flynn) seek shelter during a turf war, Leonard has to outwit a crew of mobsters hunting for a rat among them as his own secretive backstory is revealed. 

Where to watch: In theaters

If you like to watch rich people squirm: ‘Windfall’

Written and directed by Charlie McDowell (“The One I Love”), the quirky thriller stars Segel as a mysterious stranger who invites himself into the vacant desert getaway of a high-profile CEO (Plemons) and his wife (Collins, who is McDowell’s real-life spouse). When the couple suddenly shows up, however, the intruder is put into an awkward position and takes them hostage. The situation grows out of hand from there for all three, as repressed feelings bubble up, things turn bloody and escape begins to look different for each character.

Where to watch: Netflix

If you love old-school slasher movies: ‘X’

Next time you want to film porn at elderly couple’s place, just don’t. Director Ti West’s latest horror jam starts as a ’70s-era gore-fest, with Brittany Snow, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi, Jenna Ortega and Mia Goth as members of a DIY adult-film crew who rent out a Texas farmhouse as a movie set and are forced into a killer scenario, but sneakily shifts into a well-crafted (and bloody) piece about lust, longing and growing old.

Where to watch: In theaters

Jenna Ortega:Why the star of ‘Scream’ and ‘X’ is ‘drawn to the darker things’

If you haven’t seen ‘Antebellum’ yet: ‘Alice’

The 2020 Janelle Monáe horror movie shares a key plot point with “Alice,” though here, the fact that an enslaved woman (Keke Palmer) working on an 18th-century Georgia plantation discovers it’s actually 1973 isn’t a spoiler – it’s where the disco-era thriller begins. Palmer’s Alice gets a crash course in culture and civil rights from a helpful truck driver (Common) and yearns for revenge on her sadistic keeper (Jonny Lee Miller) as she reclaims her identity in cathartic fashion. 

Where to watch: In theaters

Also on streaming

  • For those who haven’t had the chance to see theatrical mega-hit “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” bask in the multiverse-spanning glory of not one but three Spideys – Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield – now on Apple TV and other on-demand platforms. 
  • Channing Tatum’s directorial debut “Dog,” a buddy dramedy about an Army Ranger and a war-hero pooch on a road trip, is also on demand.
  • And for those who need to catch up before the Oscars, best international film contender “The Worst Person in the World” is another on demand addition to check out – especially if you love unconventional rom-coms.

Happy Birthday, JK Rowling: Known for Harry Potter Books, Here’s a Look at Some of Her Other Works

By  in May 1st 2022   No Comment »
Filed Under Harry Potter     Tags:      

British author, screenwriter and producer Joanne Kathleen Rowling, or J.K. Rowling, had children across the globe under her spell when her first Harry Potter novel, The Philosopher’s Stone got published in 1997. The story of a little boy wizard, flying on broomsticks, thrilled readers worldwide. Rowling published seven Harry Potter books, which spawned eight film adaptations, countless merchandise and even theme park attractions. Apart from the fantasy series, Rowling has also published several other works. On the occasion of her birthday, we take a look at four such books.

The Casual vacancy (2012)

The adult novel begins with the death of a parish councillor in a town in South West England and the subsequent concern among the townsfolk to replace his vacant seat. The story examines themes of jealousy, social slander, childhood trauma, prostitution and family tragedy. The Casual Vacancy got adapted as a miniseries in 2015.

The Cuckoo’s Calling (2013)

Rowling took on a male pseudonym, Robert Galbraith, to draw attention away from her fame as the author of Harry Potter. The first novel published under her pseudonym was the crime fiction story, The Cuckoo’s Calling. It is a detective story featuring a private investigator named Cormoran Strike, an amputee, courtesy of the Afghan War. Strike investigates the mysterious death of a woman who jumped to her death. Rowling has produced four more novels featuring Strike.

The Ickabog (2020)

Rowling returned to writing for children with The Ickabog. The story was published online in instalments and later released in print form. It is a political fairytale about a monster named Ickabog, blamed for the disappearance of sheep and people. The story also deals with an incompetent ruler, aided by greedy and corrupt political advisors, who impose heavy taxes on their subjects to defend the capital against the monster, causing poverty.

The Christmas Pig (2021)

Rowling’s latest children’s novel is about a child’s desperate quest to find his favourite toy after it gets lost. The Christmas Pig will be published on October 12, this year, by Hachette Children’s Group and Scholastic publications.

‘RRR’ movie review: Beyond the spectacular showmanship

By  in May 1st 2022   No Comment »
Filed Under Movie Rental     Tags:      

S S Rajamouli has a thing for artistically choreographing chaos. As far as the eye can see, the dusty ground is filled with people wearing large turbans. On the outskirts of Delhi, a protest is brewing and threatening to become a full-fledged rebellion in the aftermath of the arrest of Lala Lajpat Rai. One man gets to the middle of the action and shows people who is the boss. For a split second, a bird’s eye view of this canvas is reminiscent of the battlefield in Baahubali. But then, it is the 1920s and the freedom struggle is brewing in India. People move in on the lone opponent and pile on him, only to understand his tenacity in the next few minutes. This is among the many stunning sequences that show how the stunt directors (Solomon Raju and Nick Powell), junior artistes, the cinematographer (KK Senthil Kumar), the production designer (Sabu Cyril) and the visual effects team (supervised by Srinivas Mohan) have worked in tandem to bring to life the director’s vision. 

RRR (Rise, Roar, Revolt) turns out to be a canvas for Rajamouli to scale up his showmanship after Baahubali. He leads us into the film in chapters — the story, the fire, the water… introducing the film’s context and its protagonists Bheem (NTR) and Ram (Ram Charan). 

A lengthy disclaimer emphasises that the story is fictional. That gives the filmmaker the liberty to dramatise rather than build a story on the historical characters of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. The few years that they had been in oblivion, with no recorded history of their journeys, becomes the film’s canvas.

It can be viewed as a coming-of-age story of these freedom fighters but mostly, it is the story of their friendship, anchored sumptuously by M M Keeravani’s Dosti’ song. Quite a bit of the showmanship comes from Keeravani’s score — from the title cards till the very end — as he blends in Indian and western classical, and contemporary beats to give the film a lot more emotional depth than the storytelling manages to.

There is a story that can potentially move you, make you weep for the characters — but it lies buried beneath the overarching effort to mount one visual spectacle after another. Rousing introductory sequences for both the stars and an extended pre-interval sequence where their energies, represented by fire and water, collide, are all presented with jaw-dropping visuals, punctuated by the superbly choreographed ‘Naatu naatu’ (‘ Nacho nacho’ in Hindi) song.

In the meantime, the sliver of the story that begins in the Adilabad forest languishes on the outskirts of Delhi. The narrative spells out every little detail, leaving little room for disbelief or conceit. For instance, when Ram hides a tear while splashing his face with water after tackling a mob, you know his true intentions and can guess his backstory.

Ram’s camaraderie with Bheem and their polar opposite personalities, one being stoic, sophisticated and presenting an impenetrable demeanour while the other is like an open book, giving in to emotional overtures and wearing both his innocence and anger on his sleeve, help in holding interest. NTR, who is easily among the best Telugu actors, delivers a terrific performance. In one scene where he calls himself ‘adavi manishi’ (a tribal man from the jungle), he sums up the characterisation that he so beautifully presents. Be it sparring with a tiger that is terrifically shot or much later holding attention in a Gladiator-like sequence (we shall get to that in a bit), he is in top form. For Charan, this is his best after Rangasthalam and the actor befits his role to the T. His transformation to a warrior is also convincing and he takes it on his shoulders to steer Bheem to a stunning climactic action sequence.

The crux of the story comes to the fore in the latter half and at least for some time, tries to give the emotional depth to anchor the extravagant action pieces. The action sequences roll out at regular intervals, transforming the two men into superheroes, like a part Iron man, part Thor or Superman. They can also be victims who are beaten black and blue in front of a bloodthirsty and sneering British power. “There is hardly any blood, hit him harder,” says one character in a scene where a man refuses to kneel and ask forgiveness. While a man is fed to animals in Gladiator, here he becomes fodder for the animal instinct of the rulers.

The film is largely about Ram and Bheem, with the help of supporting characters played effectively by Samuthirakani, Rahul Ramakrishna and Shriya Saran among others. Ajay Devgn in an extended cameo gives heft to the larger battle and so does Alia Bhatt in her limited part. Casting her as Sita gives the part credence. I wish there had been more of her in the film.

With its run time of more than three hours, RRR tries to present a fictional chapter inspired by real freedom fighters as an epic story. The painstaking effort shows. In contrast, the showmanship flowed more easily in Baahubali. Remember the statue of Bhallaladeva Vs Baahubali in part one and the coronation sequence in part two? Those were effortlessly spellbinding, rather than the much-laboured action spectacles in RRR.

RRR made me wonder if in a bid to keep scaling up, Rajamouli the storyteller is taking a backseat. Looking back, he worked with an incredulous idea of a housefly as the hero taunting the villain in Eega (Naan Ee in Tamil and Makkhi in Hindi). It could have become gimmicky had he erred. But it worked so well, making us root for the housefly. All the technical effort was backed by brilliant storytelling, which is sorely missing in RRR.

There are small, appreciable flourishes like the British characters not speaking a heavily accented Indian language and sticking to English. A translator is used where needed and in some portions, Rana Daggubati’s voiceover does the needful. But the characterisation of the British parts enacted by Alison Doody and Ray Stevenson remains strictly unidimensional, except Olivia Morris (she is effective and has a good screen presence). Elsewhere, an indigenous bangle gives hope to the tribal child and the yin and yang locket binds Ram and Sita. There is also the effective story of the cost of manufacturing bullets and whether the victims are worth it, which hits the bull’s eye (pardon the pun). I wish there had been more such soulful moments.

Is RRR a spectacle worthy of the large screen? Most certainly. Is it a riveting film? Not quite.

RRR is currently running in theatres

New Delhi:

Twenty years ago, when Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stonewas first released on screen, little did we know what a sensation the movie series would turn out to be. The first movie based on J K Rowling’s best-selling book series spun a tale of magic and mystery. But it also bore the weight of high expectations and unmatched excitement. Actors, too, had to bear this weight. Ralph Fiennes, who played the role of Voldemort in the movie series, is opened up about his experience on Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.

In a promo video, Ralph revealed how his family reacted when he was offered the villain’s role. He said, “My sister has children who were then 10, 11 and 12. I said, ‘Have you heard about this Voldemort?’ ” Repeating what the children told him back then, the actor said, “What? You are being asked to play Voldemort? You’ve got to do it.”

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is a reunion of the cast of the Harry Potter movie series. In the promo video, different actors recollect their cherished memories from the movie shoots.

Daniel Radcliff, the actor who rose to fame after playing the titular character, opened about his joy at this reunion. He said, “The thing that scared me the most was the implication that the most meaningful thing in our life was done. And, there’s something so joyous about seeing everyone. So, it’s like, it wasn’t though.”

“It feels like no time has passed and a lot of time has passed,” said Emma Watson as she reminisced her role as Hermione Granger. She continued, “When things get really dark and times are really hard, there’s something about Harry Potter that makes life richer.”

“I’ve missed the perfect time to sit down with everyone and reminisce,” said Rupert Grint, who played the role of Ron Weasley. He went on to add, “We are family and we will always be part of each other’s lives.”

Helena Bonham Carter recollected, “One of the highlights of my part was when I had to pretend to be Hermione pretending to be Bellatrix.” The actress also brought the dentures that she wore for her role and gladly put them on during the reunion.
