Intruders: A thrilling chiller from Fresnadillo

A critical favorite from his work in Spain, director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo stepped into the big time with 2007's 28 Weeks Later.

Fresnadillo's English language debut was a huge hit and now we get the chance to see how much of that was down to Fresnadillo himself and how much from producer Danny Boyle.

Fresnadillo's second English language film is the upcoming Intruders, a Clive Owen starring chiller that has just released its first full trailer in the UK.


Intruders tells parallel stories of two families whose lives are disrupted by menacing apparitions: in Spain, a mother tries to protect her son from a faceless stranger, while in Britain, a young girl has terrifying dreams of a demon who becomes a real danger to her and her family.

Along with Owen the film co-stars Carice van Houten, Daniel Bruhl, Pilar Lopez de Ayala and Kerry Fox and is expected to release October 2011.


THE WHISTLEBLOWER: Nothing is as dangerous as Truth..

THE WHISTLEBLOWER is a superb new thriller by Canadian director Larysa Kondracki that stars Rachel Weisz in a widely praised performance.

Inspired by actual events, Academy Award winner Rachel Weisz plays Kathryn Bolkovac, an American police officer risks her job and her own safety to uncover and bring to light a wide-scale, child sex-slave and human-trafficking scandal involving U.S. military contractors and the United Nations in postwar Bosnia.

Her expectations of helping to rebuild a devastated country are dashed when she uncovers a dangerous reality of corruption, cover-up and intrigue amid a world of private contractors and multinational diplomatic doubletalk.

Directed by first time filmmaker Larysa Kondracki, the film that also stars Academy Award winner Vanessa Redgrave, Monica Bellucci and Academy Award nominee David Strathairn would premiere in theatres August 5th.



Dhada: Naga Chaitanya's Action/Romance flick

It is very rare for a leading man or woman to get a break in big budget Indian cinema without a long lineage in the business, and Dhada star Naga Chaitanya is no exception. Both of Naga's grandfathers have deep roots in Telugu cinema, as does his father and his uncle, but Naga seems to be doing alright anyway.

Naga's debut with Josh won him a Filmfare award for best debut, and the roles that followed in last year's Ye Maaya Chesave and 100% Love that also did very well at the box office.

Dhada, Naga's next is listed as an action/romance, but the cast list with Brahmanandam, Venu Madhav and Ali only proves of plenty of inappropriate comedy thrown in with the drama.

Also on the cast list is Sriram (aka Srikanth) and the pan-Indian starlet, Kajal Agarwal, who recently made her Bollywood debut with Ajay Devgn's Singham having made quite a name for herself in the south Indian film industries.



Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

"Dirty Picture" on Silk Smith's birthday

When Ragini MMS was up for release, Ekta Kapoor said that she wanted to release it on Friday, the 13th, for the date is synonymous with scary spirits.

And when it comes to the release of her next film Dirty Picture, there is another significant date under consideration. We've learnt that the movie, which stars Vidya Balan as the south siren Silk Smitha, will release on December 2, which happens to be Silk Smitha's birthday.

A source says, "Silk Smitha was the biggest sensation down south and was known for her bold and daring erotica on celluloid. At a point, filmmakers could not imagine releasing a film without a titillating song or cameo by Silk. She was every filmmaker's lucky charm. So, the film is being released on her birthday only to pay tribute to her."

Kareena to do a Mandakini

Look at the irony of things. Mandakini's famous wet white saree scene - you know, the one where her assets are on display under a waterfall from Raj Kapoor's Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985) -has travelled a full circle.

About 28 years after the scene captured the imagination of India and the mafia, it is all set to be enacted by Kareena Kapoor, Raj Kapoor's grand-daughter, say sources.

So how did this happen? Well, Kareena has given her nod to Ekta Kapoor's Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai sequel where Akshay Kumar plays a role inspired by Dawood Ibrahim. Kareena plays his love interest. Yes, the actress' role is inspired by Mandakini.

Mafia folklore has it that the gangster was infatuated with the light-eyed Ram Teri... lead actress after he watched the famous waterfall scene repeatedly. Naturally, Milan Luthria cannot make his OUATIM sequel without touching on the scene in some way.

Insiders say that when Kareena was informed that this scene was a part of the film, she was pretty okay with it. The actress and her director will not comment on it at this juncture because it makes more sense to keep the 'will-she won't-she do a Mandakini' speculation alive. But a source says, "Bebo is not averse to the idea of doing the water scene, so long as it is aesthetically shot. She knows Milan's sensibilities are very good." Back to the million-dollar question: Will Bebo do a waterfall scene, though it may be a watered down version of the original done in her grandfather's film? "Yes, she will," says our source.

Prateik in awe of Deepika Padukone

There was something Prateik wanted to accomplish when he started working and that was to work opposite Deepika Padukone.

The actor has always been in awe of Dippy and now he's got a chance to work with her in Prakash Jha's next release. While his dream was to romance her, it's Saif who romances her and not Prateik.

In a recent interview, he said that he is very excited to work with Deepika and that she is extremely helpful.

Sonakshi and Neetu at war

There is buzz that Sonakshi Sinha and Neetu Chandra are having a cold war. At the launch of a suburban spa the two ladies shared frosty vibes.

While brushing shoulders they refused to acknowledge each other. The bone of contention between the two is the Bhojpuri version of Kaun Banega Crorepati, being hosted by Sonakshi's father Shatrughan Sinha. Says a source close to Neetu, "Shatrusaab was keen to have Neetu as a celebrity participant as she's the first B-Town actress born and brought up in Bihar. Discussions to have Neetu on the show were nearing a final agreement when suddenly the plan was dropped.

Later on, as everyone now knows, Sonakshi was the only B-Town actress to appear on the show. That led to rumours that it was Shatrughan Sinha who asked that Neetu be dropped from the show to clear the way for his daughter." This has led to the two ladies prefering to keep a safe distance from each other. We prefer to reserve judgement on this.

Katrina and Ranbir - loggerheads again

Something went seriously wrong between once 'good friends' Ranbir kapoor and Katrina Kaif, so much so that the lady declined to do Ayan Mukherjee's next with the Kapoor lad.

Deepika Padukone, who seems to have moved on after her torrid affair with RK, has decided to fill in Kat's shoes!

However, Katrina isn't lagging behind in her career graph, and is all set to prove that 'If Ranbir Kapoor is a 'Rockstar' (the title of his forthcoming film), then I'm rocking, too!' Kat takes on a rockstar avatar in her soon-to-be-released movie 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' and even performs to a rock number!

However quiz her about her and Ranbir's 'Rockstar' co-incidence and she is quick to voice that she isn't out to prove anything to anybody and that her rockstar act was just a part of the script. Katrina is being much applauded in her 'Rockstar' number titled 'Dhunki'. Rendered by Sunidhi Chauhan with Sohai Sen as music director, this may just prove to be another Sheila Ki Jawani for the actress.

Bipasha's mom walks the ramp

Bipasha Basu's mother seems to be taking after her daughter as far modelling is concerned!

The actress' beautiful mother made her ramp debut alongside her darling daughter for a jewellery brand which Bipasha endorses at a jewellery show.

Its for the first time that Bipasha's mom was seen doing the catwalk and it was all for a noble cause.

An overjoyed Bipasha revealed, "I walked the ramp with my mother for the very first time for Gitanjali in association with Beti, against female foeticide."

Backing her initiative to bring in awareness about the cause, Bipasha added, "In our country the strength of a daughter is underestimated. I come from a family of three sisters where all three of us were given every kind of opportunity and encouragement by our parents!"

So how would the supermodel turned actor rate her mother's ramp walk, we wonder. "She for a first timer was so confident! I was very nervous though" concluded Bipasha.

Saif and Deepika to appear on KBC

Bollywood actors Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone will appear as special guests on the fifth season of the game show Kaun Banega Crorepati, which starts off August 15 with megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the host.

"One interesting candidate and the entire anxiety of the working of the show just flies past .. we had a few today and tomorrow is another day .. let us hope that all goes well .. the second episode towards the evening will have invites to Saif and Deepika .. who come to promote their film and mine as well - Aarakshan !!!"Amitabh posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com.

"In many ways, the philosophy of the film and that of KBC is quite similar. Given opportunity, even the lesser privileged shall prosper. Or at least have the capacity to prosper," he wrote.

However, Mumbai rains played spoilsport as the production unit had to stall the shooting of the show several times due to the noise of the rain.

"The rains have been incessant.. and so harsh that we had to stop shooting KBC at times, because of the noise factor. But all in all a most satisfying day ... harsh and hard, but satisfactory," Amitabh said.

Saif had previously appeared with actress Preity Zinta in the second season of the show, while Deepika came as a guest last year although she didn't play.

In Time: Olivia Wilde plays Justin Timberlake's mother ?

Justin Timberlake and Olivia Wilde have had two of the best summers in Hollywood.

Timberlake scored major buzz for his sexy lead in "Friends With Benefits," winning over critics and fans alike, and helped "Bad Teacher" open to big numbers, too.

Wilde is the gorgeous and gritty lady star of this weekend's "Cowboys & Aliens," and will feature in next weekend's raunch fest, "The Change-Up."

Timberlake and Wilde star in the upcoming Andrew Niccol sci-fi thriller, "In Time," playing mother and son.

This makes sense in the context: The film is set in a world in which the aging gene has been halted at the age of 25, where the rich buy and trade the world's new currency, time itself, so that they stay forever young -- while the poor die at the hands of their robbed clocks.


Wilde and Timberlake, low down on the socio-economic ladder, have to fight for every minute they can; Wilde's character (Rachel Salas) gives birth to Timberlake's (Will Salas) and was able to survive until he caught up to her in age, but her time, it seems, is finally running out.

On the flip side, Will is gifted 100 years by an "old" man who no longer wants to live - setting off wild accusations. Will's escape with Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried) from a corrupt 'time keepers' and his fight for survival is expected to hit theatres in time on October 28th.



Olivia's Free Hugs

Olivia Wilde may be one of Hollywood's hottest actresses, but it seems that her fashion sense deserted her today.

Luckily, the star's bizarre ensemble of tiny satin pink shorts, strapless blue top and outlandish furry leg warmers was only for a film role.

The 27-year-old star looked like she was channelling the 1980s as she filmed the scene holding a sign that read 'free hugs.'

The Cowboys and Aliens actress topped off the look by plastering her face with make up and wearing aqua blue running shoes.

Eventually she was able to strongarm someone into wrapping their arms around her by opening her arms and demanding a hug, with some equally outrageously dressed pals giving her moral support.


Little is known about this vanity project flick titled 'Free Hugs', but the actress has written on Twitter about the demands of being a director.

She said: '5am call. I'm sleeping with the director and I still can't catch a break?

'P.S: I'm the director. why didn't I write a story about sunsets?'

Olivia has come a long way from her early days, where she earned her notoriety by playing the bi-sexual bad girl Alex Kelly on the O.C. Her character had affairs with both Adam Brody's Seth Cohen character and Marissa Cooper, who was played by Mischa Barton.

Although Olivia is American, she holds a dual Irish citizenship through her journalist father Andrew. Her real second name is Cockburn, but she changed it to honour Irish writer Oscar Wilde.

Free Hugs directed by hottie Olivia Wilde marks her debut as a film director and had shared a pic of her co-star Justin Long, writting “Checking out Justin's awesomeness on the set of Free Hugs today. He is brilliant and I’m one lucky director.”




Siblings catch up at their father's wedding..

Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are hugely popular Hollywood actors and siblings who don't get to spend much time together. So when they had the opportunity to meet up at their father's wedding, they were determined to spend as much time as possible together.

In a recent interview, Jake said it was his sister's love of acting and musical theatre that first inspired him to get into the industry.

He said: 'Some of my earliest memories are of my sister coming back from doing a rehearsal for some musical during elementary school.

'I would watch her, and I realized that she was getting attention that way. I joined her and we would put on shows together and she would always boss me around.

'She would put on a stage performance of Cats, and I would be a lone, poor cat sitting in the corner while my sister performed. I never got to be the star. I did everything wrong according to her.'

But Jake said recently he has no desire to collaborate with Maggie on a film project any time soon, after they appeared together in Donnie Darko in 2001.

He said: 'I love her a lot, but we don't go around looking for something to work on together.

'I would rather spend time with my niece and spend time like brothers do with sisters.

'It would take something that I love so much, that I would need her to be a part of, and vice versa.'

Jake and Maggie took a back seat earlier this week as they attended the wedding of their father Stephen to filmmaker and professor Kathleen Man.

Vettai Mannan: Teaser

Simbu's forthcoming film 'Vettai Mannan' is taking shape at a fast pace, and that's quite visible from the teaser trailer that is doing rounds now.

Vettai Mannan is the directorial debut of Nelson and features Simbu, Jai and Deeksha Seth in the lead roles. The tunes are set in by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The video posted below is the teaser of the film that got out recently, and it truly seems to be an 'intense travel through the underworld' as the trailer showcases.

The approach of Simbu as Vettai Mannan asking people to e-mail details of whom to kill and asking them to transfer cash to his account is quite novel for a promo and Simbu seems to have carried off this gangster look with the right attitude and firm speech.

Don't forget to post in your feedback on the teaser of 'Vettai Mannan' letting us know your expectations on this action packed entertainer.
