ICONIC VIDEO GAME COMPANIES

AS CLASSIC CHARACTERS COME TOGETHER IN “PIXELS”

PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger, Q*bert, Space Invaders and Centipede® Join the Cast

CULVER CITY, Calif., July 21, 2014 – Sony Pictures Entertainment announced today that the studio has brought together an extraordinary number of iconic video game companies, whose classic characters – including PAC-MAN, Donkey Kong, Centipede®, Galaga, Frogger, Q*bert, and Space Invaders – will be featured in the highly-anticipated action comedy Pixels, starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad, and Brian Cox, and directed by Chris Columbus.  The film will be released in the US on May 15, 2015.

In Pixels, when intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults.  President Will Cooper (James) has to call on his childhood best friend, ’80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Dinklage and Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet.  Monaghan plays the team's unique weapons specialist.  The action-comedy is directed by Chris Columbus from a story by Tim Herlihy and a screenplay by Tim Herlihy and Timothy Dowling, based on the original short film of the same name by Patrick Jean.  The film is produced by Adam Sandler, Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe, and Allen Covert.  Executive Producers are Barry Bernardi, Michael Barnathan, Jack Giarraputo, Heather Parry, Tim Herlihy, Steve Koren, Patrick Jean, Benjamin Darras, Johnny Alves, Matias Boucard, Seth Gordon, and Ben Waisbren.  The film, a Columbia Pictures presentation in association with LStar Capital, is a Happy Madison / 1492 Films production in association with One More Production. 

Companies with classic arcade games that are teaming with Sony Pictures on the film include:

• Atari® Interactive: (Asteroids®, Breakout®, Centipede® and Missile Command®)
• Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. (Frogger)
• BANDAI NAMCO Games Inc. (PAC-MAN, Galaga, and Dig Dug)
• Nintendo (Donkey Kong)
• Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. (Q*bert)
• Taito Corporation (Space Invaders)
• Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (Joust, Defender, Robotron and Wizard of Wor)

Commenting on the announcement, the film’s director, Chris Columbus, said, “There would be no way to make the movie without these legendary characters – they are as important to the film as the roles that Adam, Kevin, Michelle, Peter, Josh, and Brian are playing.  It was a real thrill to see everything come together exactly as we envisioned it, and we’re grateful to have all of these fantastic companies on board.”

Producer Allen Covert added, “These classic characters are part of the DNA of the project, so it was critical that we work together to bring them on board.  Fortunately, they were all extremely receptive.  We approached them with a deep love for their characters and a respect for the elements that make them unique and iconic, and we’ve worked with the companies to incorporate those elements into the film.” 

At Comic-Con San Diego, from July 24-27, arcaders 13 years of age and older with Comic-Con badges will have the chance to engage with many of these classic original arcade games and try them out again as the studio features a Pixels Electric Dreams Factory arcade at the Hard Rock Hotel, 209 5th Ave., San Diego. 

“There’s no better way for the core Comic-Con audience to interact with the movie than to get a hands-on refresher on the games that will be a part of it,” said Dwight Caines, president, Theatrical Marketing for Sony Pictures.

Farah Khan Calls Saahil Prem The Next ‘Item Boy’ Of Bollywood

Move over, item girls! Saahil Prem is here to

​​

pioneer the trend of ‘item boys’! The actor, who will be making his directorial debut with dance extravaganza ‘MAD’, seems to have impressed none other than Bollywood’s top choreographer Farah Khan with his moves on the dance-floor.

Farah, who was present at the trailer launch event of the film, said, “The dance I see in M.A.D is probably something we have never seen on Indian screens before.

​​

What`s admirable is that Saahil has kept the dance form true to what it is. The film has not ‘Bollywood-ized` any of the dances. Saahil is a superb dancer and am sure he will be the next ‘item boy’ of Bollywood!”

Presented by Essel Vision and produced by Paanch Rupaiya Barah Aana, Mad About Dance starring Saahil Prem, Amrit Maghera and international dancer Salah, is scheduled to release on August 22.

It is Zoya's next film after Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. ​

The film revolves around a dysfunctional family on a cruise trip. It  features an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Anushka Sharma, Anil Kapoor and Shefali Shah.

The cast and crew of the film were in a long shooting schedule on a cruise across the Mediterranean.

Rani Mukherji

Rani Mukherji will appeal to the Police Commissioners of various cities to provide basic facilities, to have loos female officials in crime branches.
 

While Rani Mukherji was prepping up for her role as the crime branch officer in her upcoming next film, Mardaani, she visited various offices to absorb the atmosphere there and get a sense of how they work there.

On her visits, she was surprised and taken aback to know that the female officials in these offices did not have basic facilities like separate loos.

When Rani learnt about this issue, she decided to put in her word to the concerned authorities to make the necessary amendment. Since there are such important women officers at top ranking posts they should be able to put in a word too.

It is an extremely important matter according to her and requires immediate attention. Rani hopes that some steps will be taken towards this voice that has been raised by her.

Salman Khan's dialogue now on T-shirts!

One particular dialogue of Salman Khan’s upcoming next film, Kick has become the current flavor among the audiences.

The dialogue, “Dil mein aata hoon samajh mein nahi” has become so popular that we spotted a fashion street in Mumbai selling Tshirts with the dialogue printed on it.

The dialogue, which is also a part of the trailer of the film, that got the highest number of views, has caught on in a big way.

The line is personally very close to Salman’s personality and explains him the best.

The star Khan himself liked the dialogue so much that he gifted a wrist watch to Rajat Arora who is the dialogue writer of the film.

The Tshirts are made with interesting designs, fonts and colours and were put up on the display of some shops.

Not just put up there, we even spotted some fans of the star Khan buy the Tshirts from there and wear it with a huge smile.

The dialogue not only got whistles and claps from the audiences on the launch of the trailer but a lot of fans also put the dialogue up on their social networking accounts.

SNAFU Movie- Delhi boy Manjot packs his bags for Pune

Delhi boy Manjot packs his bags for Pune

Manjot Singh has bagged a parallel lead alongside Abhay Deol in SNAFU. The shoot of which will largely take place in Pune. Manjot has packed and left for a 40 day long schedule in Pune. The duo, Abhay- Manjot were last in Oye Luck Lucky Oye in 2008. Right after Manjot’s confirmation for the role, Abhay tweeted “Oye Manjot, Manjot Oye” welcoming him onboard and now the promising actor is all set to roll.

In oye lucky lucky oye Manjot and Abhay essay the same character, Manjot being the younger lucky and Abhay as the grown up one. SNAFU will see them together as parallel leads. Manjot essays the character of Sunny Singh, a meek and submissive slum dweller. SNAFU is a thriller around commonplace situations going out of hands as the title suggests.

Sethu Sriram will make his directorial debut in Bollywood, having shot topline projects such as Wanted, Shakti, Tere Naam, Teree Sang, Milenge Milenge, OMG and Dusshera as DoP. Sriram has also directed a Kannada film titled Godfather.

Talking about Manjot joining the crew, Sriram said, “I’m glad we have Manjot on board as Sunny Singh. We wanted a certain kind of vulnerability and a meek demeanor. Manjot is a brilliant actor and he makes a perfect Sunny Singh. The majority of this film is slated to be shot in Pune and we have a packed schedule. My DoP has arrived from Chennai and the rest of the crew members have also reached from Bombay while Manjot will be flying down from Delhi. We will do a small puja and then roll at break neck speed”.

Manjot’s last Bollywood outings were Fukrey and What the fish playing, in the both the films he plays a sardar.

Salman performs high octane action sequences in Kick

 

 

Kick is the biggest action film of Salman Khan's career and of this year. ​

Sajid Nadiadwala has spared no expense for his directorial debut film, Kick.
They have spent a major chunk on the death defying action sequences in the film. 

​The action that we will see the star Salman Khan doing in Kick are very different from what audiences have seen him do in his earlier films. ​

​To shoot these never seen before action stunts, about 57 cars, 13 buses and

​ one ​

helicopter were blown

​ up​

. ​

This is the first time that Salman Khan will be seen doing such high octane, dynamic and powerful action sequences in his film.
It is also the first time any production team has arranged for the given number of vehicles to be exploded in a film like this.

​Shot with drones for the first time in a bollywood film, the scale of action is humongous. ​

​Sajid sa

​id​

, "I like to make films which are larger than life. A particular sequence in the film sees Salman drive through the city, creating a ruckus. We first shot in London but couldn't complete it (the shoot) as Salman couldn't make it there. Then we moved to Poland (they shot in Warsaw). The quiet city had never seen anything of that sort before. Of course, Salman insisted on doing the stunts himself."

​ Salman said, "I've been lucky to get producers who are willing to spend money. We, as heroes, can only kick that high, or jump that much...​

​

​ That is when technology comes in, and safety comes in... All of this takes us (as actors) to a whole new level."​

​

We saw glimpses of the powerful action in the trailer of Kick and it has got the audiences teased for more.​
The film is slated to release on this Eid, July 25th.

Hrithik Roshan's Statement

Its important we help one another. It is important to know that others will help us in times when we need support, for that, we must take initiative especially in cases where a family are bereaved of a father, who died in the line of duty. There is so much we can do as a society but it needs to start with the individual. And I promise you, when you give, it always pays back. Someday, somehow. Let's stick together. My highest respects and deepest condolences to the family of the brave and courageous Nitin Yevlekar. 

Abhay beats Bombay rains and camps in Pune

Abhay beats Bombay rains and camps in Pune

Abhay Deol’s next, SNAFU will be majorly shot in the youth city, Pune. The actor has had packed for a long 40 day schedule and left for Pune driving down himself. Abhay Deol is known for his quirks and has ensured that he drives down himself on his BMW X6, all the way to Pune from Mumbai.

 A source close to the star confirms, “ Abhay loves cars and long drives, given a choice he would drive himself rather than letting his driver do the driving. There has been many instances where he has jumped over to the driver’s seat even in Mumbai. So Abhay certainly could not let go of this opportunity for a long drive and that too in this breezy weather. And why just driving he is somebody who loves nature so that makes it double the reason for him to drive down. Bombay Pune drive is fun, I doubt if he would even take a stopover at Lonavala or somewhere else”.

SNAFU stars Abhay Deol and Manjot Singh in the lead. The duos were last seen in the much loved Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye. Puja Gupta is paired opposite Abhay. Abhay plays the role of Kabir Taneja which has negative shades. He plays a young high-flying corporate consultant in Mumbai mediating mega deals with most men with Big money.   Coincidentally this is Abhay’s third film with the screen name of Kabir.  

Sethu Sriram will make his directorial debut in Bollywood, having shot topline projects such as Wanted, Shakti, Tere Naam, OMG and Dusshera as DoP. Sriram has also directed a Kannada film titled Godfather.Talking about the Pune schedule, Sriram said, “We have a packed schedule in Pune and we will shoot all over the city- Malls, multiplexes, boutiques, hotels et al. The majority of this film is slated to be shot in Pune. My DoP has arrived from Chennai and the rest of the crew members have also reached. Abhay will be driving down himself as he loves long drives. We will do a small puja and then roll at break neck speed. The team is very excited, after a hectic pre production the day has finally arrived”.

SNAFU shoot commences

SNAFU shoot rolls and Abhay Deol seems to have lots of fun on the sets. SNAFU is produced by Dolly Gadhoke under her banner Tanaria Stars. The shoot has just started in Pune at a high end plush apartment after a small puja with cast-crew and family.. Abhay will have a forty day long schedule in Pune before moving to Bombay schedule. He will be soon joined by co stars Manjot Singh and Pooja Gupta in Pune.

Superhit! Hate Story 2 collects Rs.15.85 cr in three days

Superhit! Hate Story 2 collects Rs.15.85 cr in three days

T-Series Hate Story 2 has hit the jackpot within three days.

The revenge-thriller starring Surveen Chawla, Jai Bhanushali and Sushant Singh has netted Rs.15.85 crore since Friday.

According to trade analyst, Taran Adarsh, Hate Story 2 weekend figures stand - Friday Rs.5.46 crore, Saturday - Rs.4.74crore and Sunday - Rs.5.65 crore. Total: Rs.15.85 crore nett.

The chartbuster songs, promos and some aggressive marketing by T-Series made the film super hot. The small budget movie with debutant stars and director was made on a small budget of 11.5 crores including the advertising and promotion cost. On the first weekend itself the film has recovered its cost leaving aside the satellite rights and music.

Directed by Vishal Pandya, the film garnered favorable reviews from the critics and now the box-office collection shows the public liked it too.

Taran Adarsh tweeted “Hate Story 2 emerges a winner!”

After delivering the fourth hit in a row, Aashiqui 2, Yaariyan, Bhoothnath Returns and now Hate Story 2, producer Bhushan Kumar says, “I am glad that our movies are accepted and liked so much by the audience. It feels great to get such figures in the first weekend itself and adding one more hit to your kitty.”

Major action shots of KICK have been shot using drones

For the very first time, major action shots of Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick have been shot using drones (mini helicopters). This is first time in India and drones are essentially used for Hollywood action films. 

The Salman Khan starrer has been shot in a lot of real life locations.

Even in the trailer of the film, we see hard core action shot in Delhi and in Poland.

While they were shooting the action sequences in Poland, Sajid Nadiadwala's production team along with the international team working there arranged for drones to get the best shots.

Multiple drones were used to get shots from different angles so that all sides could be covered.

Drones are expensive and need expertise of different kind to be filmed. This talent was especially flown in ‎from LA. 

Be it for promotions or while they were shooting, Sajid Nadiadwala is sparing no expense towards his directorial debut.

With the help of these drones, they managed to get shots even better than usual and Sajid Nadiadwala was very keen to have them.

They had a special team on board to handle the drones as they needed to be handled in a certain way.

Everyone was extremely happy with the outcome.

Recently in Mumbai, a drone was used to deliver a pizza.

Ajaz shot an episode for the show with  Kapil but now the comedian Kapil is not airing the same.  The actor said it was his outstanding and dominating performance which made Kapil feel overshadowed, this can be the only reason for not letting the show go on air. The guest in the show Sidhu  Paji also appreciated Ajaz's energy level and the kind of talent he has got.The actor now feels used and cheated after irresponsible and unprofessional attitude of comedian Kapil.There is no response from Kapil's side as he is not responding to Ajaj's calls and messages. But at the same time, Kapil has got all time to respond KRK. Ajaz played a role of bank chor (robber) in that episode. The role played has same name as that of a Yash Raj upcoming film from which Kapil has been outed. Kapil is not looking good at digesting superior performance and fan following of others.

Hate Story 2 review by ANIZ FILMVALA

Hate Story 2 

review by

 ANIZ FILMVALA 

*****

Hate Story 2 had to be a nasty vendetta tale of sex, hate and love. The intensity of retribution is nowhere; instead a ridiculed way of killing is a funny sight to bear for two full hours. No boldness, no nudity and no sensuality at all.

 Director Vishal Pandya has cordon the glamour of sexy siren Surveen Chawla and wasted her for irrelevant act of romantic predicament.

Two aspiring photography student Surveen and Bhanushali meet and out of the blue get into a romantic isle to live with each other till eternity. But the sexy dame is a bed slave to Sushant Singh a notorious politician [how and when not known?].

The baddy discovers both humming into "Aaj Phir Tumpe Pyaar Aaya Hai” with a sight of a passion in them all the hell brake loses. Next the boy is dumped into a river and the girl buried live into a coffin.

Well the girl is saved miraculously by a drunken and the boy follows her in ghostly avatar infusing her to live and avenge the tribulation given by the baddy.

Sushant Singh is only the saving grace as he has delivered a performance which outshines the entire film and other characters. 

Surveen Chawla rates well in a bikini clad [blink and miss portion] rather than on the kill bill regime, use your body babe then the skills.

No Hate Story 3 please.
