10 July,2023 05:35 PM IST | Mumbai | IANSRobert Downey Jr. recently shared exciting pictures on Instagram of an outing with his co-stars from the upcoming film "Oppenheimer." The photos featured Downey with Emily Blunt, Cillian Murphy, and Matt Damon, against the backdrop of the New York City skyline. One of the pictures also had John Krasinski photobombing the group, adding an element of surprise to the photo. He captioned the post, "Linking up with my Oppenheimer cast mates...wait, is that a Krasinski photo bomb or might there be a surprise cameo???" Fans were delighted to see the cast spending time off-screen and were especially thrilled by the surprise appearance and potential cameo of Krasinski in the film. As if the adrenaline isn't running high enough! In the image where Krasinski photobombs, a box of NYC thin crust pizza can be seen on the table. Looks like the group spent a chill weekend with pizza and beers across the brilliant NYC skyscape. Brittany Broski commented, "I am crying! How did you get Cillian to smile!" The man of the hour, John Krasinski said, "Jazz hands." Damnit Jim, you kept this from us! 'Oppenheimer' is generating a lot of anticipation among fans and is set to release in the United States on July 21, 2023. The historical film is based on the Pulitzer Prize–winning biography "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer." Based on the life of nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer who is widely regarded as the 'Father of the nuclear bomb', the film adapts the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. With a particular focus on the Trinity Test and the Manhattan Project which led to creation of the atom bomb, the movie also showcases the race against time of the Americans to finish building their bomb before Nazi Germany can complete theirs. Director Christopher Nolan stated that no CGI whatsoever was used in Oppenheimer. He revealed that his crew opted not to employ any computer-generated imagery even in recreating the historic Trinity test—an essential part of the film. The Trinity test was the first-ever test explosion of a nuclear bomb in the deserts of New Mexico back in 1945.
10 July,2023 02:55 PM IST | New York City | mid-day online correspondentHollywood star Tom Cruise, who turned 61 on July 3, 2023 will star in upcoming film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1. Cruise has performed chilling stunts throughout his filmography, including the Mission Impossible and Top Gun franchise and had no qualms about performing even more dangerous stunts in his latest, despite turning a year older. In Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, Cruise will be seen doing several high-octane stunts, one of which includes riding a motorbike off a cliff and base jumping. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Cruise was asked why he chose to begin the film with the hair-raising stunt. In a hilarious and almost self-deprecating response, Cruise responded that the movie’s further sequences were contingent on the success of this stunt. “Well, that way we’d know either we are going to continue with the film or not! ‘Let’s know on day one what is going to happen, do we all continue or is it a major rewrite,” Cruise quipped. The Hollywood star said that a lot of energy, equipment and preparation time had gone into getting him stunt-ready for that particular take. Cruise wanted to get into the specifics of the scene right away and said it was crucial he shot the stunt on the first day of filming and prevent the rest of the shoot from getting delayed. “It was very important as we were prepping the film that the stunt actually was the first thing. Because I don’t want to drop that and shoot other things, and have my mind somewhere else. Everyone was prepped. You don’t want to be waking up in the middle of the night thinking, ‘I still have that left to do,'” he added. The stunt in question was shot in the mountainous landscapes of Norway. For Cruise, who had been a motorcycle and adrenaline enthusiast for nearly all his life, this stunt had been a childhood dream. But dreams come with their perils – “Preparing for something like that was years (of experience). I had been riding motorcycles since I was a little kid, raced cars and spent a lot of time with aerobatics, airplanes, helicopters, parachutes. But to figure out something like that… It is our understanding of story, understanding of camera, how to do something like that, it all kind of came in that moment. I had trained for it, you have to be razor sharp when you do something like that. The stunt is arguably one of the most dangerous in not just Mission Impossible but cinematic history. Fans couldn’t be more excited to watch it on the big screen Christopher McQuarrie, who previously helmed Rogue Nation and Fallout, has directed Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, ready to hit screens on July 12. He is also directing the sequel, which is slated for release in 2024

09 July,2023 07:08 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentEver since the announcement of 'Oppenheimer', Christopher Nolan has made it clear that he has zero interest in using CGI for the biopic, instead using practical effects for everything. With that in mind, 'Oppenheimer' will have absolutely no CGI. The director is known for his penchant for realism and complex stories, but for his latest film, 'The Dark Knight' creator has insisted on keeping things as real as possible. Speaking with Collider, Nolan said that his latest film not only has a focus on practicality, but it contains "zero" CGI shots. However, this is nothing new as Nolan has preferred to rely as little as he can on VFX on almost all his ventures be it 'The Dark Knight' trilogy, 'Interstellar' or 'Tenet'. Instead Nolan has always preferred using things such as camera work, real small-scale explosions and miniature sets to avoid having his work feel wholly unrealistic, employing VFX only when necessary and that too for enhancing the visual aesthetic of certain scenes. But recreating a nuclear explosion, its immense radiation, the intricacies of the explosion along with other aspects such as the aesthetics of a black hole is no mean feat, but Nolan and his team managed to pull it off without any CGI. Based on the life of nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer who is widely regarded as the 'Father of the nuclear bomb', the film adapts the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin. With a particular focus on the Trinity Test and the Manhattan Project which led to creation of the atom bomb, the movie also showcases the race against time of the Americans to finish building their bomb before Nazi Germany can complete theirs. 'Oppenheimer' stars Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh Jack Quaid, Benny Safdie, Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Josh Hartnett, Matthew Modine, Kenneth Branagh, David Krumholtz, Michael Angarano, and Alden Ehrenreich and will hit theatres on July 21, 2023.

09 July,2023 10:53 AM IST | Washington | ANIThere's good news for actor Jennifer Garner's fans. As per The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer is all set to reprise her iconic role as the antiheroine Elektra in Marvel Studios' upcoming 'Deadpool 3'. Garner first essayed the role of the Marvel assassin in 20th Century Fox's Daredevil, the 2003 feature that starred Ben Affleck as the Man Without Fear. While the film was not a hit, it did spawn a spinoff, with Garner toplining solo act Elektra two years later. That too, was not a box office success, but it was noteworthy as Garner was one of the few women to lead a studio comic book movie at the time. The shooting for the third installment is currently underway. The audience will also see Ryan Reynolds returning as the wise-cracking antihero Deadpool. Hugh Jackman is also back as the adamantium-infused hero Wolverine, reprising his role for the first time since 2017's Logan. The film will be the first Deadpool feature to be helmed by Marvel Studios since its parent company Disney purchased 20th Century back in 2019, allowing them to bring Deadpool into the MCU auspices. Her involvement in Deadpool 3 hints at some sort of multiverse angle to the film that has long been rumored, and it is possible that other characters from Marvel films made by Fox could pop up. But this being Deadpool, one can't rule out some meta, self-awareness either. Prior to 'Deadpool 3', Garner has worked with Reynolds in 'The Adam Project'. The film stars Reynolds as Adam Reed, a fighter jet pilot from the future. After an accident sends him traveling through time, he winds up in the year 2022, when he was a 12-year old boy (played by Walker Scobell) struggling in school after the apparent disappearance of his father (played by Mark Ruffalo). Jennifer Garner portrays Adam's mom, and the cast is rounded out by Catherine Keener, Zoe Saldana and Alex Mallari Jr, as per Variety. The film came out on Netflix in 2022. Shawn Levy directed the sci-fi action drama. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
