China, Pakistan, reforms: New def min Rajnath has his plate full

As the country’s new ‘Raksha Mantri’, Singh will have his plate full. The myriad challenges range from tackling the collusive threat from China and Pakistan to bolstering India’s fledgling defence-industrial base to get out of the strategically-vulnerable position of being the world’s largest arms importer. from Times of India http://bit.ly/2QyXKj4

Elton John Blasts Distributor For Cutting Rocketman’s Homosexual Content

If the 2018 music biopic genre belonged to Rami Malek and the crazy popular Bohemian Rhapsody , then 2019 is without a doubt all about another legendary icon – Sir Elton John. He’s the focus of the new film Rocketman , in which Taron Egerton, star of Kingsman and the underwhelming Robin Hood movie, embodies the beloved musician and brings him to life perfectly – from the star-spangled costumes down to his beloved singing voice. Of course, another big selling point about the film – aside from Egerton’s stunning performance – is the R-rating, which allows Rocketman to be raunchier and a lot more mature than your average music biopic. It’s much more open about Elton’s sexuality and drug usage, too – one of the biggest detriments of Bohemian Rhapsody – which in turn adds another layer of faithfulness to the story. But it seems that some distributors aren’t quite alright with everything that’s shown in the movie. Taron Egerton Transforms Into Elton John In New Rocketman Photos ...

Cancelled X-Men Movie Would’ve Featured Fantastic Four And Deadpool

We’re now at the tail-end of the era of Fox’s Marvel movies, as the recent Disney deal means that Marvel Studios has hoovered up the rights to their comic book characters. As we await Dark Phoenix , though, it’s worth reflecting on an epic crossover of Fox’s Marvel properties that could’ve been at the start of the decade. Apparently, the studio was planning to do an Avengers  of their own, featuring the X-Men , the Fantastic Four, Deadpool and Daredevil! Speaking with Kevin Smith on his Fatman Beyond podcast,  X-Men: First Class  screenwriter Zack Stentz revealed that he and former writing partner Ashley Edward Miller penned a script for an abandoned movie that would’ve reunited every major Marvel character Fox had access to at the time. It sounds like he’s still restricted from saying too much, but he did comment that Bourne  director Paul Greengrass was attached and it could’ve been “really good.” “My ex-partner and I, when we were working at Fox and we were wor...

The leadership change in the high-profile ministry is expected to usher in a certain decisiveness and an iron-handed approach to terror, insurgency and secessionism. Shah, through his career, has come forth as a hardcore nationalist unflinching in his pursuit of whatever he perceives as crucial to national security. from Times of India http://bit.ly/2W7rEMG

Robin Will Reportedly Feature In Matt Reeves’ The Batman

At last, Robert Pattinson was officially announced as the new Batman today, meaning that Matt Reeves’ upcoming reboot of the Dark Knight’s big screen adventures is finally on the go. Alongside that news though, we might’ve also learned that Pattinson’s hero won’t be saving Gotham all by his lonesome but may be about to form a dynamic duo with Robin. Forbes reports that the Boy Wonder could “potentially” play a role in The Batman , with a casting announcement said to be coming soon. When it’ll arrive, we can’t say for sure, but while Batman and Robin are traditionally inseparable in the comics, in the movies, it’s a different story. Only four of the ten Batman solo films released so far have featured Dick Grayson’s sidekick. And one of those is Michael Cera’s turn in The LEGO Batman Movie . Another, meanwhile, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s “Robin” John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises , who hardly counts, while the two other are obviously Batman Forever  and  Batman & Robin ...

Captain Marvel Writer Didn’t Like Carol’s Avengers: Endgame Haircut

Avengers: Endgame was filled with plenty of divisive surprises , including Carol’s advanced suit and, most notably, updated haircut. Because the powerful superhero didn’t have much to do in the film, a lot of the focus around her centered on her shortened locks. The new look was an apparent homage to the comics, but didn’t sit right with many fans who liked the protagonist’s long hair. Perhaps the most angered by the hairdo change was  Captain Marvel   writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. She was evidently frustrated when the topic was brought up and pushed back on the idea that the latest style is Carol’s real cut. In her own words, “I would fight you for calling that her real haircut. We’re pistols at dawn, you and I.” The short hair has been a trademark of the extraterrestrial warrior for years now, but this wasn’t always the case. During the majority of Captain Marvel’s career, she had long hair, including during DeConnick’s time creating adventures for the hero. ...
