EXCLUSIVE: Vishal Bhardwaj reveals why Aamir Khan has been thanked in O'Romeo: “His suggestion changed so many things for me; wanted to thank Aamir from the BOTTOM of my heart”

-
Shahid Kapoor’s O'Romeo is having a decent run at the box office and is enjoying a good word of mouth. Moviegoers, who ventured out to see the film on the big screen, were surprised to see the mention of Aamir Khan in the opening disclaimer. Many expected that the superstar might have a cameo in the crime drama. However, Aamir is not present in the film and this made many moviegoers curious about his connection to O'Romeo. Bollywood Hungama has learned the reason behind the special thanks to Aamir. Director Vishal Bhardwaj exclusively told us, “Aamir wanted to hear the script of O'Romeo. And when he heard it, he gave me this idea, that someone should be killed at a crucial point in the film.” Vishal Bhardwaj further revealed, “Killing the lawyer Anjum Ansari (Resh Lamba) in the restaurant was his idea. This is the reason why I thanked him. This suggestion changed so many things for me. Because from there, the protagonist, Ustara (Shahid Kapoor) gets attracted towards the ...

James Earl Jones Withdraws His “Star Wars” Voice Role

-
The 91-year-old actor has given his blessing for his voice to be used in digital recreations of the renowned villain he has played for over 40 years by Lucasfilm and Disney. It was reported in an article by Vanity Fair that a Ukrainian start-up company called Respeecher has been working with Lucasfilm for years to generate the distinctive voice Jones used 45 years ago. However, age has had a noticeable effect on the actor's voice, and he no longer plays the role of Darth Vader as frequently as he once did. Since the debut of the first Star Wars movie in 1977, which was later given the subtitle A New Hope, Jones has provided the voice for the powerful Darth Vader. Although he has never worn the outfit, helmet, or cape, he has offered memorable words to characters like Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker, such as the reveal in the sequel that "I am your father." Respeecher can generate fresh discourse by employing the voices of performers from the past by utilizing archive recordings and an artificial intelligence system. According to Matthew Wood of Skywalker Sound, who Vanity Fair interviewed, Jones has been recorded "dozens of times." Wood reported that he had mentioned that he was considering how to conclude the story involving this particular character. Consequently, what should our next step be? Jones has given his approval on the technology. Still, he has continued to oversee the acts utilized in current Star Wars offerings, the most recent of which is the series Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. Wood considers Jones to be a kind of godfather figure in his life. Jones's representatives did not immediately react to a request for comment from PEOPLE seeking clarification as to whether the actor will be leaving the role fully or continuing in this advisory position.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
