"I will be producing 5 films next year; my next will be a comedy" - Madhur Bhandarkar

So what if L. K. Advani saw Jail on Saturday 28 November and told Bhandarkar to make more of such meaningful films? Madhur is done with films on grim social issues, but only for now. His next directorial venture will be a laugh riot. "Yes, I'm starting a comedy, though not slapstick like De Dana Dan. It would be more like the comedies of Hrishikesh Mukherjee." Come January 2010, Madhur Bhandarkar will be producing 5 films for his banner Bhandarkar Films. "Two of these," informs Bhandarkar, "will be directed by me. Three others will be produced by me and directed by newcomers who I think deserve a break." Madhur will direct two films one after the other in the first few months of 2010. While one of the films that Madhur will direct will be a comedy, the other will be hard-hitting women's subject. "I'm not giving up my forte. I'm identified with a »

Week in geek: District 99p: Why science-fiction may triumph in the recession | Ben Child
3 December 2009 8:10 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Budgets are getting tighter, but sci-fi directors seem to be getting more creative. Is this one genre that might just boom in the crunch?
In these times of straitened budgets, film-makers are increasingly having to look outside the usual avenues to find the cash they need to fund their pet projects. Sir Ben Kingsley himself was in India earlier this week touting his planned historical epic Taj around to anyone who might have a spare rupee. Industry experts report that many studios have ground to a halt when it comes to actively seeking out new talent, with their focus now more on cutting costs on already greenlit projects.
Having said all that, it's pretty hard to ignore someone like Federico Alvarez, who has just been picked up by Sam Raimi's production company Ghost House, for a $1m deal. The Uruguayan film-maker's short film, Panic Attack!, which you can view above, »

Aishwarya Rai to star opposite Ben Kingsley in 'Taj'
2 December 2009 11:30 AM, PST | The Bollywood Ticket | See recent The Bollywood Ticket news »
British actor Sir Ben Kingsley—best known for his Oscar-winning performance as the famous Indian independence leader in 'Gandhi' (1982)—is set to play the emperor who built the Taj Mahal, and Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will reportedly play the emperor's beloved wife, in 'Taj,' a film about the legendary lovers.
Shooting is scheduled to start in July, primarily in the Indian city of Agra, where the Taj Mahal is located. The film is expected to release in 2011.
The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan ruled India in the 17th century. His third and favorite wife, Mumtaz, died giving birth to her 14th child, and the devastated emperor spent the next 20 years building her tomb, which is regarded as one of the architectural wonders of the world. Soon after the completion of the monument, Shah Jahan was deposed and imprisoned by his son.

New Poster for Prince of Persia
2 December 2009 4:05 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Another poster has been released for Disney/Bruckheimer’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The poster doesn’t really do anything for us except tell us that Jake Gyllenhaal’s character (Prince Dastan) has ‘courage’. To be honest, it looks like the cover of an Empire magazine with the font and colour they’ve used on it. They released a similar one of Gemma Arterton a while back so this ties together with that one. I’ve put them both below the text.
Prince of Persia is directed by Mike Newell and also stars Alfred Molina, Ben Kingsley and Steve Toussaint. It’s out 28th May and is very high on my list of films to see for 2010 – it’s a Jerry Bruckheimer production after all

India is home for me and one does not visit but comes home, said Sir Ben Kingsley at a press conference at Iffi Goa today. He said that like a long lost melody or a forgotten perfume, the extraordinary welcome has assured him that the thread that was created in 1981-82 during filming of Gandhi has not snapped. “Same juices are flowing in my body, the same as when Attenborough said action for Gandhi,” said the legendary actor who is the guest of honor at Iffi Goa.
Remembering the shooting of Gandhi, Sir Ben Kingsley said that the performance was made possible by the extraordinary trust. »

Oh yeah, that’s right, another new poster for Disney’s big screen adaptation of the popular computer game, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina. This is the latest in a series of posters, and despite the fact that they all look a little too Photoshop to me, they at least give us a better look at what will no doubt be a major family event next year.
The poster comes to us courtesy of Planeta Disney, check it out below:

New Trailer For Ray Winstone's 44 Inch Chest
1 December 2009 7:06 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
While it was never really given a chance in the states, Sexy Beast is one of my favorite films to come out of Britain in the last few years. So when I learned that the writers would be once again teaming up with Ray Winstone and Ian McShane, I could only muster a simple thought: Fuck yes. My favorite reputable news source, The Sun, has posted the new trailer for 44 Inch Chest, starring the above listed as well as John Hurt and Tom Wilkinson. Excited yet? It gets better. The film centers on Winstone who, after learning that his wife is having an affair, decides to get his gang together to kidnap the lover and torture him. The trailer seems to try and keep the identity of the lover a secret, but I am really hoping that it turns out to be Ben Kingsley just so he can can call »
Chaotic T20 Ceremony Mars Iffi Celebration
1 December 2009 3:39 PM, PST | Bollyspice | See recent Bollyspice news »
A somewhat chaotic and disorganised evening marred the celebration of the T20 - Top Indian films of all time - celebration at the International Film Festival of India in Goa last night at the Kala Academy The event was attended by a swathe of top personalities including Ben Kingsley, Amrita Rao, Madhur Bhandarkar and Gurinder Chadha. Sayali Bhagat was one of the hosts for the evening.
But organisational errors abounded. Firstly, the show started an hour late. Also, many invitations only went out on the day of the event, with the result that guests didn't know where to go when they arrived, the anchor doing the introductions missed many of them and a disaster happened when Ben Kingsley was sat in the wrong seat, made himself comfortable, and was then asked to move by some flunkey. He then left. Finally, compere Srivastava made a classic boo-boo when at the end »

Indira Gandhi Biopic Recasts Helen Mirren As The Queen, Taps Tom Hanks For Lbj?
30 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Indira Gandhi, India's first and only female Prime Minister, is getting a much-deserved biopic, and big name actors are being wooed for star-studded cameos. According to The Daily Telegraph, Helen Mirren is in talks to return to the role of Queen Elizabeth II, who she won an Oscar for playing in 2006's "The Queen." Emily Watson, meanwhile, has been cast as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Other expected -- or at least sought-after -- portrayals include Tom Hanks as Lyndon Johnson, Tommy Lee Jones as Richard Nixon and Albert Finney as British actor Peter Ustinov.
The biopic, titled "Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story," will be released in two parts, a la Steven Soderbergh's "Che" films. Both will be directed by Indian filmmaker Krishna Shah, who last helmed a pair of American B-movies called "Hard Rock Zombies" and "American Drive-In" back in 1985. Since then he seems to have primarily »
