Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc review – gore-soaked demonic anime squats in the manopshere

-
Tatsuki Fujimoto’s coming-of-age saga continues with a surreal encounter with a chainsaw-wielding demon living in a teenager’s soul Shortly after last month’s Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle – confirmed last weekend as the highest-grossing anime feature of all time – a big-screen outing for a movie adaptation of what, in manga terms, is a relative upstart: Tatsuki Fujimoto’s gore-soaked coming-of-age saga, first serialised in 2018. Standard critical guidance applies: what will doubtless be catnip for fans is likely to prove varyingly baffling for newcomers, arriving late to a frenetic game offering few chances for catchup. The latter camp might, however, cling to the Halloween-adjacent release date as a partial decryption device: Fujimoto’s teenage hero Denji (voiced by Kikunosuke Toya) has a chainsaw-wielding demon squatting in his soul, suggesting the twin influences of Tobe Hooper and Shinya Tsukamoto. The fallout from this will be, to coin a phrase, exaggerated – but the underlyin...

SCOOP: Shahid Kapoor's pay for Ali Abbas Zafar's next film has been increased to Rs. 38 crores.

-

Shahid Kapoor had previously stated that he was willing to forego his acting income in order to protect Jersey for the theatrical medium, according to Bollywood Hungama. The actor has stuck to his word, and the film will be released on April 14th. The actor, who had been paid roughly Rs. 31 crores for the film, subsequently had to take a pay cut when the release was pushed back owing to the Omicron threat at the last minute. And now we have yet another insider tip.

Shahid Kapoor's acting fees have reportedly increased even again, according to our reliable trade sources. The gifted actor, who is riding high on the success of Padmaavat and Kabir Singh, is expecting great gains from Jersey as well, and has demanded 25% extra for the film that is a sequel to Jersey. "A hefty sum of Rs. 38 crores has been paid to Shahid Kapoor to join this action-packed thriller helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar. This is around 25% more than Jersey, and more than double what he got for Kabir Singh, the game changer. In reality, he is taking the approach of letting his work speak for itself," a trade source told Bollywood Hungama.

Shahid's credo, "Let labour speak for itself," has a special value for him. "Every success would entail an increase in acting income, and every failure would mean a decrease in acting fees." He's devised a dynamic pricing plan, and at this point, he's optimistic that both Jersey and Ali Abbas Zafar's next will bring in huge bucks at the box office. If the film is a success, his asking price for the next one will go up even more," the person said.

He and Ashwin Varde are currently negotiating the Chhattrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic, which is likely to move forward to the official paperwork stage soon.

The enigma of Rose Dugdale: what drove a former debutante to become Britain and Ireland’s most wanted terrorist?

-
The case of the English heiress who became an IRA bomber and art thief, even burgling her own family estate, was one of the most confounding stories of the late 20th century. Now it’s dramatised in a new film In 1958, 17-year-old Rose Dugdale was one of 1,400 young women who curtseyed before Queen Elizabeth II in the most prestigious event of the summer’s debutante season. It was the last time that the well-bred daughters of the most aristocratic and affluent families in the country would be presented to the monarch in a ritual that dated back 200 years. Princess Margaret, with characteristic hauteur, would later say: “We had to put a stop to it. Every tart in London was getting in.” For the fiercely independent Dugdale, being presented to the queen was a means to an end. She had agreed on the condition that her parents allowed her to attend the all-women St Anne’s College, Oxford, to study philosophy, politics and economics. Sixty years later she would recall the debutante season as...
