The Batman Trailer Promises A Visually Stunning Experience For Audiences On The Big Screen

Mumbai, October 17 - Robert Pattinson-led "The Batman" trailer was launched on Saturday (October 16) during DC Fandom, and believe us, it is going to make audiences go nuts in movie theaters. There was already a lot of hype and expectations from this DC film, and the new trailer only has raised those expectations. ## The new trailer of Matt Reeves-directed "The Batman" shows the glimpse of Zoë Kravitz as new Catwoman and Colin Farrell as Penguin. The trailer also gives a proper look at Gotham City and teases the action sequences. It promises a visually stunning experience for the audience and the darkest cinematic outing yet for the Caped Crusader, even when compared to Christopher Nolan's gritty "Dark Knight" trilogy. ## The trailer begins with the arrest of the Riddler, played by Paul Dano, who is clearly the main antagonist driving "The Batman" story, as a serial killer who leaves cryptic clues with his victims and holds a special fixation on Batman. It also gave a broader look at Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman. Earlier, the Catwoman character was played by Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992's "Batman Returns" and Anne Hathaway in 2012's "The Dark Knight Rises". ## "The Batman" movie also marks the return of Penguin, who was last appeared in the "Batman Returns", played by Danny DeVito. The trailer also gives the first look at Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne/Batman's loyal butler. Scheduled to release on 4 March 2022, "The Batman" will debut in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in India. ## Have a look at some of the stills from the trailer, which are visually stunning - ## 4K shots of Robert Pattinson as #TheBatman pic.twitter.com/roDeremrqp— Culture Crave 🍿 (@CultureCrave) October 16, 2021 ## #TheBatman 4K screenshots pic.twitter.com/BY3o7VShLV— Culture Crave 🍿 (@CultureCrave) October 16, 2021 ## The cinematography in #TheBatman slaps illegally hard pic.twitter.com/agQ8q8CVjW— 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐭 (@ClunkSpider) October 16, 2021 ## You just know this sequence is gonna be a work of art. #TheBatman #DCFanDome pic.twitter.com/boJkw2hGg4— Binge Watch This (@BingeWatchThis_) October 16, 2021 ## Watch the trailer here - ## ## Stay tuned...

Two Time Academy Award Winner, Michael Caine To Retire From Acting After Best Sellers

Los Angeles, October 16 - Michael Caine, a British actor, and two-time Academy Award winner, is putting a brake on his legendary 70-year old film career. The 88-year old said in an interview broadcast Friday that the newly-released "Best Sellers" is the last film he has acted. ## "Because I haven't worked for two years, and I have a spine problem which affects my legs so I can't walk very well, so...", he told BBC radio host Simon Mayo. "And I also wrote a book, a couple of books, which were published and were successful, so I'm now not an actor, I'm a writer, which is lovely because as an actor you have to get up at half-past six in the morning and go to the studio. As a writer, you can start writing without leaving the bed". ## Caine, in his decades-long film and tv career, worked over 170 films including "The Dark Knight" trilogy. He got nominated for Oscars six times and went on to win on two occasions for roles in 1986's "Hannah and Her Sisters" and 1999's "The Cider House Rules". ## The frequent collaborator of Nolan's film, Caine most recently appeared opposite John David Washington and Robert Pattinson in the Nolan directed Tenet and Martin Owen's Twist. When asked if the Aubrey Plaza co-starring Best Sellers is his final film, Caine answered, "I think it would be".## "I don't have any — there haven't been any offers, obviously, for two years, because nobody's been making any movies I'd want to do", Caine said of the COVID-19 pandemic. "But also, I'm 88. There's not exactly scripts pouring out with a leading man who's 88, you know?".## The veteran actor turned author has penned multiple biographies and said he wrote his fictional debut, a thriller titled "If You Don't Want To Die", during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.## Stay tuned...

Filmmaker Ramesh Sippy Reveals In KBC 13 How Dream Cast Of Iconic 'Sholay' Was Assembled

Mumbai, October 16 - Legendary filmmaker Ramesh Sippy along with dream girl Hema Malini appeared in Amitabh Bachchan hosted Kaun Banega Crorepati 13 as special guests for the 'Shaandaar Shukravaar' episode. The iconic trio remembered the good old days of "Sholay" which is considered a benchmark film in Indian cinema.## During the special episode, Sippy, who directed the iconic "Sholay" (1975) revealed that why he chose Hema Malini for the role of Basanti and how did he think about 'Jai-Veeru' played by Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra respectively. ## "See, Hema Ji in her first film with me had portrayed the role of a young widow and in the second film, 'Seeta Aur Geeta', she surprised us. So, for the role of 'Basanti', I felt that no one can do it apart from her", the filmmaker told Big B. ## "Also, there was one more thing. When we completed 'Seeta Aur Geeta' and it became successful, it is then when we decided whatever I make after this, Dharam Ji, Hema Ji, and Sanjeev Ji must be there. And as the script of 'Sholay' was shaping up, it was fitting perfectly", he added.## Ramesh Sippy, who directed Big B in three more films after "Sholay", further revealed how he thought of Jai-Veeru and who suggested him to pick Amitabh Bachchan who wasn't a big star at that time. "We had 'Veeru', he was there in the last film, too. So, there was one thing that I had thought about is that we have three superstars and if I get one more superstar, it would be difficult for me, only".## "So, then I thought I need a good actor, who does good work and becomes a team. Because when Salim-Javed suggested Amit Ji for this role, saying there's one 'Amitabh Bachchan' who's doing good work and is working with us in 'Zanjeer'. I said ok, that's good. And, then I thought that he's not a star at the moment so I won't have that problem that there's one more star on the set", he said. ## The filmmaker also said that Big B did a great job in "Anand" and then "Bombay to Goa". He also remembered the dance by Big B in a bus in the film "Bombay to Goa" and got the idea of picking Big B. "I felt this seems to be an actor who can do anything. So, he will be able to give us what we want. That's how the casting was done", he added.## To all that Sippy said, Amitabh acknowledges and responded: "Thank you very much, Sir". Replying to this, Sippy shared: "You proved it. And by the time the film released, you became the biggest star".## "Sholay" was released on Independence day in 1975 and was the highest-grossing Indian film at that time. It also starred Sanjeev Kumar as Thakur Baldev Singh, Amjad Khan as Gabbar Singh, Jaya Bhaduri, Iftekhar, Asrani, Jagdeep, Leela Mishra, among others. ## Stay tuned...
