Warner Bros' 'Dune' And Universal's 'No Time To Die' Sets China Release Date

Mumbai, September 19, 2021: Legendary / Warner Bros.' epic sci-fi movie "Dune" has been released in some of the key international markets and is off to a great start with over $35 million in the first four days. ## Now, the movie gets a major boost as it has been confirmed to release in the biggest movie market, China, and will be opening day-and-date with the U.S. on October 22. Legendary East is handling the release of Dune in the PRC and it will release everywhere in China. ## On the other hand, Universal Pictures' "No Time To Die" starring Daniel Craig as James Bond for the last time, has also set China release date on October 29. China being an important market for Bond movies, the movie studios intentionally waited to rebound in the throes of the pandemic. ## Both the movies are confirmed by the Maoyan website as upcoming releases in China. Dune and No Time to Die are the only two Hollywood movies that had recently been granted certificates and we were waiting on release dates in China. The last Bond film, Spectre, did earn $83.5M in the PRC. ## Meanwhile, it looks like the recent Marvel movies "Black Widow" and "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" won't get a Chinese release date and will end their entire run without getting a China release. Dune and No Time to Die will be the first big Hollywood movies to release in China since Ryan Raynolds' "Free Guy". ## Stay tuned...

Russian Film 'The Challenge' Set To Be The First Movie To Be Shot In Outer Space

Mumbai, September 19, 2021: A new space race is heating up between the two rivals, the USA and Russia, this time, however, for a different purpose. More than 60 years after the erstwhile Soviet Union beat the United States into orbit with the launch of its Sputnik satellite, the country is again leading the race in the entertainment field. ## According to reports, Russia has announced plans to produce a feature film titled "The Challenge" in outer space, allowing itself to become the first country to do so. If all goes well, the production team will lift off next month on a 12-day mission to pull off the historic first, beating Tom Cruise's untitled passion project. ## A Russian commission of medical and safety experts approved a plan for an actress and a director to blast off early next month to film the first full-length, fictional movie in space. "The Challenge," tells of a doctor launched on short notice to the International Space Station to save the life of a cosmonaut.## "For the first two seconds it's scary", Yulia Peresild, who is on track to become the first actor in space said according to New York Times, of her training on an airplane flight that briefly created a microgravity environment. "After that, it's beautiful".## Last year NASA announced that it was partnering with Elon Musk's SpaceX and Tom Cruise to shoot a movie that would be partly filmed aboard the International Space Station. The Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman is also attached to helm the project, which set the minimum budget of $200 million. However, with no shooting timeline set for Cruise's film yet, it is set to lose the space race against Russian production. ## Meanwhile, the launch of the "The Challenge" crew is expected to take place on October 5th. Channel One will live stream the event internationally with, Channel One CEO Konstantin Ernst calling it "a breathtaking reality show and a chance to attract millions of TV viewers".

Taapsee Pannu To Play Female Lead Opposite Shah Rukh Khan In Rajkumar Hirani's Film!

Mumbai, September 17, 2021: Earlier in the year, there were reports claiming that actress Taapsee Pannu was to be cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in director Rajkumar Hirani's social drama film based on illegal immigration. ## While there is no official confirmation yet on the same, it has now been reportedly confirmed that the actress is indeed playing the female lead opposite SRK. It will be the first time when she will share screen space with SRK. ## "Taapsee is on board. She is doing Hirani's film. But she is not allowed to talk about it. Until the news is official, she cannot comment on it. The producers, Shah Rukh's Red Chillies and Hirani's production house will make the announcement soon", a source close to the development told Cinema Journal. ## The film will mark Shah Rukh Khan's maiden collaboration with Hirani. The duo was supposed to collaborate in Munna Bhai MBBS but things didn't work out. Meanwhile, the maiden collaboration of SRK-Hirani is not a regular Bollywood social drama but rather deals with a broader immigration issue. ## The movie will reportedly focus on illegal immigration called "donkey flight", which has emerged as a popular escape path for Indians hoping to immigrate to the US and Canada. Shah Rukh Khan, who was last seen in Anand L Rai's "Zero" in 2018, will reportedly start shooting on Hirani's film in May 2022. Before that, he will complete YRF's "Pathan" and Atlee's film. ## Taapsee Pannu, on the other hand, has several films in the pipeline in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. She was last seen in Tamil horror-comedy "Annabelle Sethupathi", which also stars Vijay Sethupathi. ## Stay tuned...

Dune Director Denis Villeneuve Blasts Marvel Movies, Says 'They Turned Us Into Zombies'

Los Angeles, September 17, 2021: Marvel is undoubtedly the most loved superhero franchise in the world and has made its own legacy with The Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, despite getting so much popularity and loved by its fans around the film, there are still those who have criticized the superhero franchise over the years. ## Of late, Marvel Studios has been expanding the superhero genre by blending it with other elements that would make it unique with feature films and shows, but it looks like that despite all the efforts, the Studio will still be criticized for not making so-called real cinema. ## The latest in the list to criticize Marvel movies is the acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve, who is currently awaiting the release of the epic sci-fi film "Dune". In response to Spanish daily El Mundo's question citing Martin Scorsese's comments about the idea that superhero films are not cinema, Villeneuve agreed to the former's comments, calling MCU nothing but "cut and paste". ## "Perhaps the problem is that we are in front of too many Marvel movies that are nothing more than a 'cut and paste' of others. Perhaps these types of movies have turned us into zombies a bit… But big and expensive movies of great value there are many today. I don't feel capable of being pessimistic at all". ## Earlier, in October 2019, "Taxi Driver" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" director Martin Scorsese, had blasted Marvel by saying that Marvel movies are not cinema and even compared them with "theme parks". ## "I don't see them. I tried, you know? But that's not cinema. Honestly, the closest I can think of them, as well made as they are, with actors doing the best they can under the circumstances, is theme parks. It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being", he told Empire according to Indian Express. ## - Tell us in the comment section below about what you guys think about Denis Villeneuve's take on Marvel movies!## Stay tuned...
