Neetu Chandra’s New Year Resolution!

December 28, 2010: Actress Neetu Chandra, who has acted in a few Tamil and Telugu films apart from Hindi films, is taking very careful step this time while taking New Year resolutions. She wants to take a resolution, which she can fulfill without giving it a miss.

So, what is her resolution for 2011? The 26 year old actress, who debuted in acting with the 2005 film Garam Masala, has chosen a topic, which she is very passionate about. Neetu loves to learn new languages and this year she has taken resolution to learn Tamil and few other languages. She is already fluent in different languages like Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Haryanvi, Telugu and Bhojpuri. So, the actress can assure that she will keep her resolution and fulfill it this year.

Neetu says that she also knows little of foreign languages but believes that English is enough to go around across the world so her interest is mainly in Indian languages. She debuted in Tamil films with Yaavarum Nalam in 2009 and since then she has started taking lessons in this language. She has been inspired by her director Ameer to get hold of this South Indian language. And now, Neetu is confident that she will be fluent in Tamil before she starts shooting her next Kollywood movie Aadhi Bhagavan. She hired a teacher to teach her the language but as the shooing for the film was put on hold for some time, her classes also went for a toss. But she will soon get back to her passion and resolution and get hold of the language fully.

The actress is sure to be in full form as soon as Ameer starts shooting the film. We hope Neetu can really keep her resolution!

The singer-and-actress stars as Jo/Red in For Colored Girls, which details the struggles of nine women in America. The movie boasts other big name stars such as Whoopi Goldberg, Thandie Newton and Kerry Washington, and Janet has warned moviegoers to expect to be moved. She says the film has a sombre tone which may surprise some people.

"They're [the audience] going to be very shocked at where this takes them and it's not a happy place, it's very deep and dark," she revealed.

And there's somebody in there that you know - that you can relate to or find yourself in."

The film has been adapted from the successful play of the same name which ran in theatres to critical acclaim in the late 1970's, written by playwright Ntozake Shange. With the play first showing on stage in New York, Janet is ecstatic that filming took place in the same city.

"You can find this story in several communities in different parts of the world, but I love the fact that it's in Harlem, that it's in New York. It puts a different twist of flavour on it. And just with the play being here and Ntozake and everything basically was born from here," she added.

Legendary film director dies

Director Blake Edwards has died in California at the age of 88.

Edwards, married to British actress Julie Andrews, died from complications of pneumonia on Wednesday morning at St John’s Health Centre in Santa Monica.

Edwards directed many classic films, including The Pink Panther.

He was “pretty much confined to a wheelchair for the last year-and-a-half,” after unsuccessful knee operations, publicist Gene Schwam said.

At the time of his death, Edwards was working on two Broadway musicals, one based on the Pink Panther. The other, Big Rosemary, was to be an original comedy set during Prohibition, Schwam said. A third-generation film maker, Edwards was praised for evoking classic performances from Jack Lemmon, Audrey Hepburn, Peter Sellers, Dudley Moore, Lee Remick and Andrews, his wife of nearly half a century.

He directed and often wrote a wide variety of movies.

Although many of his films were hits, he was nominated for Academy Awards only twice.

The motion picture academy selected Edwards to receive a lifetime achievement award in 2004 for “his writing, directing and producing an extraordinary body of work”.

Nature of the Work

Actors, producers, and directors express ideas and create images in theater, film, radio, television, and other performing arts media. They interpret a writer's script to entertain, inform, or instruct an audience. Although many actors, producers, and directors work in New York or Los Angeles, far more work in other places. They perform, direct, and produce in local or regional television studios, theaters, or film production companies, often creating advertising or training films or small-scale independent movies.

Actors perform in stage, radio, television, video, or motion picture productions. They also work in cabarets, nightclubs, and theme parks. Actors portray characters, and, for more complex roles, they research their character's traits and circumstances so that they can better understand a script.

Producers are entrepreneurs who make the business and financial decisions involving a motion picture, television show, or stage production. They select scripts, approve the development of ideas, arrange financing, and determine the size and cost of the endeavor. Producers hire or approve directors, principal cast members, and key production staff members.

Directors are responsible for the overall creative decisions of a production. They interpret scripts, audition and select cast members, conduct rehearsals, and direct the work of cast and crew. They approve the design elements of a production, including the sets, costumes, choreography, and music. As with producers, large productions often have many levels of directors working on them. Assistant directors cue the performers and technicians, telling them when to make entrances or light, sound, or set changes. All directors must ultimately answer to the executive producer, who has the final say on all factors related to the production.

SRK gets a Ducati bike!

Shah Rukh’s most ambitious film Ra. One is still under production and there was a minor delay recently. No, this time the delay was not the result of a starry tantrum thrown by one of his co-stars. It was caused due to a bike. And it was no ordinary bike. It was a Ducati that was the cause of the glitch.

SRK and the unit of Ra. One had a major schedule shot in London. Most of the portions with SRK dressed as a super hero were shot there and a Ducati was used in these sequences. After the unit returned to Mumbai, SRK realised that they needed to shoot some more sequences on the bike. But they could not find a similar bike and SRK was left with no option but to have the bike brought from London.

Lekin, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost. The story doesn’t end here, SRK booked a bike for himself from London which took its own sweet time to arrive. Until then SRK had no option but to wait. However, now that the bike has reached Mumbai, SRK is busy shooting with it.

Whatever the fate of the movie, SRK will at least have one expensive memento to remember it by.

John Travolta interested in Bollywood movies

Hollywood actor John Travolta is eagerly waiting to hear from Bollywood. The actor is known for Grease and Saturday Night Fever, the two greatest Hollywood’s musical albums.

“I would love to work in Bollywood, but I have just never been approached by anyone. I keep hearing that people want to work with me, but none of that has ever materialized into a meeting,” said the 56-year-old actor, who was honored at the GQ Men of the Year Awards ceremony in Mumbai on Sunday. The event saw Travolta mingle with Bollywood biggies like Aamir Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Though he hasn't heard of any Indian imitations of his style, incorporated in films like Disco Dancer (1983) by Mithun Chakraborty, he's aware of the importance of song and dance in Hindi cinema.

“I love to perform, and I'm sure I will enjoy singing and dancing in Bollywood,” said Travolta, adding that he does try and watch some Bollywood films, the last one he saw being Ashutosh Govarikar's Lagaan.

Travolta, who played a woman in his last musical, Hairspray, said, “They knew they needed a man to play the part, but they also needed a man to sing and dance, which is not very common any more in Hollywood, unfortunately. I thought it would be fun to create that illusion. The reactions to the film were phenomenal, because there was such a contrast from the macho roles I have played in the past. They couldn't believe I could do that. But then I grew up watching incredible women perform. We are all from that genre.”

for the Hindi film industry as he is happy with his individual identity.

"Six-seven years ago Punjabi music was popular at the national level, people used to love to listen to it. But now due to piracy, the sales of the albums have decreased," said Mann, who came to 92.7 Big FM's studio to promote his new album Wari Wari.

"Moreover, Punjabi being a regional language, big companies hesitate to invest money, which is the reason it has taken a backseat."

"I think to some extent Bollywood is also responsible for the fading popularity of the genre. The film industry has hijacked Punjabi music. There are so many films that have Punjabi songs. And if you have actors like Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif dancing to Punjabi beats, who would see our songs," he added.

Mann, who spent his childhood in Vancouver, Canada, started singing in 1980-81. He used to perform for the South Asian community while still in school.

He cut his first album Chithiye Ni Chithiye in 1992, but it was his 1999 album Oye Hoye that made him a name to reckon with in India.

The singer insists that the industry is suffering because they are facing a stiff competition from Bollywood.

"If we look at Hollywood, their songs have a different place, while films are separate. The problem in India is that everything is being merged into Bollywood. I know it's a hard fight, but I am optimistic that things will get better soon," he said.

Asked if he plans to do playback singing in Bollywood, he said, "I have no interest in singing for Bollywood. I have an individual identity for myself and I am happy with that.

"As a solo singer I have created an identity for myself and have been maintaining it. By god's grace everything is going great. I can't go in front of people and beg for work," he added.

Mann is not just a good singer but also a well-known actor in the Punjabi film industry. He has starred in and produced seven movies, namely Ji Aayan Nu, Asa Nu Mann Watna Da, Dil Apna Punjabi, Mitti Wajaan Mardi, Mera Pind, My Home, Jag Jeondiyan De Mele and his most recent movie Heer Ranjha.

"I have always tried to do new things and find new ways to move forward in life. At the time when pop music was not that popular, I decided to venture into acting and started producing films. I keep all the options open. It is necessary for survival," he added.

Meanwhile, Mann is gearing up for his US tour that starts in October. And after that he will start shooting for another Punjabi film in November.

4. John Lasseter (director)
5. Brad Pitt (actor and producer)

Brazilian film about Lula to vie for Oscars

A movie tracing the life of Brazil's popular President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has been entered into the race for best foreign-language film nominations at the 2011 Oscars, the Brazilian government said Thursday.

"Lula, the Son of Brazil" will be among 95 titles from around the world competing to be chosen for the shortlist at the US Academy Awards ceremony on February 27, the culture ministry said.

The movie recounts the early life and adulthood of Lula, a one-time shoe-shine boy and metalworker who became an influential trade union leader before becoming Brazil's president in 2003.

Last year's foreign-language winner at the Oscars was an Argentine movie, "The Secret in Their Eyes."

The 25-year-old actress said she hopes to hit the stage as Juliet in a new production next year.

Museum of Tolerance to honor Clint Eastwood in November

Clint Eastwood, whose most famous movie roles were trigger-happy vigilantes but whose directorial work has shown a more open-minded world view, will receive an award from the Museum of Tolerance this fall.

The Oscar-winning filmmaker will accept the museum's Tolerance Award that will be presented as part of its first international film festival, which is devoted to showcasing movies that address human rights issues. The Eastwood ceremony will take place at the festival's main gala on Nov. 14 in Los Angeles.

In a statement, Rabbi Marvin Hier, the founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Museum of Tolerance, said that Eastwood is "a superb choice for this award, which celebrates those whose work shines a light on themes of acceptance, inclusion, tolerance and forgiveness."

Though he rose to fame as the gun-toting Man with No Name and the insensitive Dirty Harry, Eastwood has spent the later part of his career making movies that not only question the nature of violence but also advocate greater social acceptance.

As a director, he has gravitated toward stories that criticize masculine violence ("Mystic River," "Unforgiven"), interrogate the necessity of war ("Flags of Our Fathers," "Letters from Iwo Jima"), explore racial intolerance ("Gran Torino," "Invictus") and embrace nontraditional families ("Million Dollar Baby," "A Perfect World").

Eastwood's latest film, "Hereafter," is slated to open in the U.S. on Oct. 22.

The full lineup for the museum's 2010 film festival is expected to be announced in October. The festival is scheduled to run from Nov. 13 to 18 at the museum's three theaters in L.A.

Rajinikanth’s Enthiran on October 1?

The Kollywood trade is abuzz that Sun Pictures big budget magnum opus, Rajinikanth’s Enthiran, directed by Shankar is likely to be postponed from September 24 to October 1. However, there is no official confirmation so far on the matter.

After a very successful trailer launch last Saturday, the buzz was that the film will take a gargantuan opening worldwide. The final copy is being made ready and it should not be rushed just for the sake of a September 24 release.

Perfection is the key word. One more week delay does not matter at all for a film which has been in the making for two years.

Remember Sun Pictures are making it a worldwide event, a Tamil film has not been showcased on the international scene so big. It has to get the best of the screens and a wide release. Enthiran’s Hindi version Robot is being released like a Bollywood biggie.

However Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra’s Anjaana Anjaani has locked in on September 24 well in advance. Remember Robot was earlier to release on September 3, then September 17, but got delayed due to post production work.

It makes better sense to go for a October 1 release, as then Robot would be the biggest movie of the week worldwide.

Cricket controversy inspires new film

A sequel to the 2008 hit Jannat is reported to have been inspired by the recent match-fixing scandal involving the Pakistan cricket team.

According to the Hindustan Times, actor Emraan Hashmi is keen to use the controversy as the basis of a script.

"Even though we fictionalised it, cricket coach Bob Woolmer’s death was the take-off point for Jannat. And the recent match-fixing scandal could be the trigger for Jannat 2," said the actor.

Michael Douglas Optimistic Despite Stage 4 Throat Cancer

Hollywood actor Michael Douglas remains optimistic despite admitting that his throat condition is apparently a lot more serious than he first thought.

On the Letterman show, the actor talks about his situation candidly.”It’s a stage four, which is intense, and they gotta go at it,” he says on the Late Show last Tuesday.

Douglas tells that he found out about his illness after having time-off with his family. He is married to Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and has two young kids with her. Upon returning to the United States, a doctor took a look at his throat, did a biopsy, and discovered that he has Stage 4 throat cancer. All these things, including his family vacation, all happened in a span of three weeks.

Michael, whose father is the legendary Kirk Douglas, said on his interview that before things got worse, he already had throat problems for several months. Each time he would go for a check-up, doctors couldn’t find anything until after his visit to the hospital when he got back from vacation.

He told Letterman Tuesday: “I am head and neck, I am above the neck, so nothing’s gone down and the expectations are good. You like to be down at stage one but the big thing you worry about is it spreading. The percentages are very good. I would hate to say, but right now, it looks like it should be 80 percent, and with certain hospitals and everything, it does improve.”

He went on to share what he and his family did during the summer. They visited Spain, Russia and St. Petersburg which were all great and fantastic places.

Douglas’ new movie, the remake of Wall Street which is now called “The Money Never Sleeps” is set to hit the big screen later this month.

Japanese animated film director Kon dies at 46

Acclaimed Japanese animated film director Satoshi Kon, known for "Tokyo Godfathers," "Millennium Actress" and other prize-winning movies, has died of pancreatic cancer. He was 46.

Considered one of Japan's most exciting directors of animated films, or "anime," Kon was born in 1963 on the island of Hokkaido and debuted as a comic book artist at age 23 while still an art student at Musashino Art University near Tokyo. He began making animated films about 1990, establishing a style that blurred the boundaries of reality and fantasy.

Kon died Tuesday, his wife Kyoko said in a statement released on his official website, Kon's Tone.

In his Oscar-nominated 2003 film "Tokyo Godfathers," loosely based on the 1948 John Ford movie "3 Godfathers," Kon featured three homeless people instead of three cowboys, breaking with the clean and ritzy image of the Japanese capital. Kon's characters — a drag queen, a runaway high school girl and a former professional bicycle racer — pick up an abandoned infant from a garbage dump on Christmas Day and set out to find its parents.

The 2006 film "Paprika," based on a novel by popular writer Yasutaka Tsutsui, uses breathtaking cutting-edge animation and won a prize at the Brussels anime festival in 2007. Kon was working on his first children's film, "The Dreaming Machine," at the time of his death.

In a "Goodbye" statement released Wednesday, Kon said his doctor told him in May that he had terminal pancreatic cancer which had spread to his bones, and had at most six months to live. Two months later, his condition worsened and his doctor said his days were numbered. So he decided to go home and die there, he wrote.

"My biggest regret is 'The Dreaming Machine.'" he wrote. "I really worry about the film, and the staff."

The film is based on an original story, characters and a unique view of the world that "nobody else but Satoshi Kon could understand or create," he said.

He thanked his parents, his wife and his fans for their support.

"Thank you everyone," he said. "I'll go ahead now."

Sophie Monk struggling with image in LA

Sophie Monk has revealed that she has had a "tough" few years in Hollywood.

The 30-year-old Australian actress, singer and model, who moved to Los Angeles to further her career five years ago, said that people there tend to judge her on her looks without realising she has a sense of humour.

Monk told Who magazine: "It's been a tough, tough time. Over here, I'm a celebrity, but they're not sure what I've done and I struggle with that.

"In Australia, they know I've had a successful music career, that I'm a bit of a comedian. But here they just go by visual, which is tricky for me. Most blonde bombshell types don't have much personality, or they just marry a rich old man. My sense of humour is what's carried me through.

"I would be settled down and married like all my friends if I was in another career. I know I don't want to always live in the spotlight, I want a normal life. In ten years' time, I hope I'll have kids and be married to a loyal man. I want to cash in, then go home."

Coalition plans $60m film fund

The Coalition plans to establish a $60 million temporary film fund to boost production of mid-budget features if it wins the next Federal election.

The announcement was made today at the Australian International Movie Convention and forms part of the Opposition government’s newly-unveiled arts policy, which will also provide a $24.35 million boost to the regional arts scene and loans of up to $35,000 for Australia’s young musicians.

Support for the fund, which will provide matching loans to film distributors of eligible Australian films with production budgets between $7 million and $30 million, marks a win for the Screen Producers Association of Australia, which called for a similar scheme earlier this year.

The fund will match dollar-for-dollar the investments made by distributors, providing loans of between $2 million and $10 million. The fund and the distributor will recoup their advances side-by-side, with SPAA predicting the fund will deliver up to 1100 full-time jobs and trigger production of up to 18 films worth $270 million.

The fund will invest over three years and be wound up after five years, with SPAA predicting almost three-quarters of the government's investment to be returned over seven years.

The net cost of the fund, which will be overseen by Screen Australia, is estimated to be $31.9 million by 2014.

The Coalition also said it will rejig the Producer Offset to allow interim assessments so that producers can receive the proceeds of the rebate before the end of the financial year. However, it has not outlined a mechanism to do this – the Offset legislation currently resides in the Tax Act.
