Streaming: Steven Soderbergh’s Presence and the best haunted house films

-
The director’s witty supernatural thriller joins Psycho, Hereditary, The Brutalist and more – films in which buildings are characters in their own right The first more-or-less horror movie in the lengthy, genre-skimming career of director Steven Soderbergh , Presence is a film about grief, trauma, familial dysfunction and abusive masculinity. But it’s also, to a significant and compelling extent, about property. Beginning with a family’s first viewing of a handsome Victorian home in an unidentified stretch of suburbia, the film never ventures outside its walls for the next 85 minutes, as the ensuing chills make us consider the merits of that purchase. Wittily and unnervingly shot from the perspective of the restless spirit roaming its halls, it’s a haunted house film in which much of the tension feels determined by the shape and flow and light and shade of the house itself. It’s a while since I’ve seen a film where I could quite so exactly draw the floor plan of its primary location,...

Ayan Mukerji ropes in Hollywood and Bollywood stunt experts for War 2 climax: Report

-

The highly anticipated espionage thriller War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, promises to deliver a breathtaking climax featuring an epic showdown between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR. To ensure the action lives up to expectations, the production has enlisted top stunt directors who have previously worked on Hollywood blockbusters like Venom and Avengers: Age of Ultron as well as Bollywood hits like Jawan and Pathaan.

An Action-Packed Climax in the Making The final leg of the shoot is set to begin in mid-December, with a 15-day schedule in Mumbai at Film City and YRF Studios. A massive set replicating Jr NTR’s hideout is under construction, setting the stage for the ultimate clash. The sequences will transition from a hangar to the villain’s hideout, promising a blend of high-octane action and visual spectacle.

A report by Mid-Day quoted a source saying, “From the second week of December, Hrithik and Jr NTR will film their final face-off. The late Rajat Poddar designed most of the sets, and the climax’s backdrop is the last one to be completed. Producer Aditya Chopra and Ayan Mukerji are closely supervising the design and execution.” Top Global and Local Talent Unite Aditya Chopra and Ayan Mukerji have brought together three renowned stunt directors to choreograph the climactic action sequences:

Spiro Razatos (Venom, The Fate of the Furious) Se-yeong Oh (Avengers: Age of Ultron, Snowpiercer) Sunil Rodrigues (Jawan, Pathaan)

The trio is crafting a stylized fight scene featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, blending Hollywood's finesse with Bollywood’s flair. Dance-Off Between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR In addition to the action sequences, War 2 will showcase a dance-off between Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant. Known for their exceptional dancing skills, the two stars are set to create magic on screen.

The team has also planned a song sequence featuring Hrithik and leading lady Kiara Advani, which is scheduled to be shot in January.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Human Surge 3 review – hopeful odyssey of globe-trotting twentysomethings

-
Eduardo Williams’ opaque sequel follows a group of twentysomethings in Sri Lanka, Peru and Taiwan with a 360-degree VR camera Following his Locarno festival-winning experimental film The Human Surge in 2016 , Argentinian director Eduardo Williams apparently couldn’t be bothered with part two – which doesn’t exist – and skips straight to number three. That’s also the opaque MO with which he operates in this similarly continent-hopping odyssey; a bleary trail of hopeful and restless peregrinations and chat from three groups of twentysomethings in Sri Lanka, Peru and Taiwan, who often stray without warning into each other’s segments while declaring things like: “I want to see maps of nearby regions and listen to the dreams of my crazy friends.” Filmed with a 360-degree VR camera that orbits around these pilgrims, a full-blown digital-age existential crisis seems to be in force here. People bemoan bullshit jobs, parse language disparities, contemplate post-tsunami building methods in Sri...
