Producer Jerry Bruckheimer Confirms 'National Treasure 3' Script Has Been Written

Los Angeles, August 20 - It has been 15 years since the second National Treasure film, starring Nicolas Cage. Over the years, there have been rumors about the third film in the series but there was no actual development towards the making of National Treasure 3. ## While the hopes for the third film in the franchise were still there, Nicolas Cage, during a Reddit AMA thread, had almost silenced those hopes by saying that there would be no more "National Treasure 3" movie. But, months after what Cage had said, things have changed and all of sudden, the future of the National Treasure film franchise is looking bright. ## Producer of the "National Treasure" film franchise, Jerry Bruckheimer has good news regarding the third film as he has confirmed that the script of "National Treasure 3" has been written and it is really good. During an interview with comicbook, Bruckheimer said that they will be sending the script to Cage soon. ## "Let's hope we're working on the script right now. Hopefully [Cage] likes it, but it's really good. So I think we'll get it to him shortly", Bruckheimer told.## The first two National Treasure films - "National Treasure" (2004) and "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" (2007) - were successful at the box office, grossing over $806 million (without inflation) against the combined budget of nearly $200 million. ## Meanwhile, the tv series titled "National Treasure: Edge of History" is already under development at Disney Plus. It is a continuation of, the National Treasure film series and will mark the return of both Justin Bartha as Riley Poole and Harvey Keitel as Peter Sadusky from the two National Treasure movies. Cage is not reprising his role from the movie in the show. ## The creators of the series, however, remain hopeful that Cage could show up on the Disney+ series. "We're going to beg and plead and whatever," co-creator Marianne Wibberley told Deadline. "We'll have him in two seconds. He's our favorite actor out of everyone. We pitched him as Ben Gates before he was Ben Gates. He was our first choice".## Stay tuned...

Ponniyin Selvan Is Possible Because of SS Rajamouli's Baahubali: Mani Ratnam

Chennai, August 19 - Filmmaker Mani Ratnam is all set show the world he has created with magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan, which he believes became possible because of maverick filmmaker SS Rajamouli. Rajamouli's films have been ahead of their times and it was the "Baahuabli" series that opened the gate for other filmmakers to dream big, breaking the barrier of languages. ## During the second single launch of "Ponniyin Selvan 1" in Chennai on August 19, Mani Ratnam spoke about how Rajamouli's "Baahubali" inspired him to make films like "PS". Even though Mani Ratnam always wanted to make PS for the big screen, he said that Rajamouli showed the way with Baahubali that such films can be made and be successful in two-part. ## "I want to Thank SS Rajamouli Garu. In a way, he has opened up the doors for all of us that this kind of film (PS) can be made and he has shown us that it can be done in two parts like you can tell a story in 2 parts and be successful. PS1 is possible today because of Bahubali", the filmmaker said. ## PS1, produced by Ratnam and Allirajah Subaskaran under Madras Talkies and Lyca Productions, is the first of two cinematic parts based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's 1955 novel Ponniyin Selvan. The film stars an ensemble cast - Chiyaan Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prabhu, R. Sarathkumar, Vikram Prabhu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Rahman, and R. Parthiban in key roles.## The movie will be released on 30 September 2022 in Tamil along with the dubbed versions of Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam languages. It will also become the first Tamil movie to release in IMAX screens.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Laal Singh Chaddha And Raksha Bandhan Collect Below 100 Crores Combined In The First Week

Mumbai, August 19 - Bollywood superstars Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar's Laal Singh Chaddha and Raksha Bandhan, respectively have completed an extended opening week at the box office and numbers are something that industry had never thought about. ## The combined collection of both the films is around 90 crores net, which is not even close to what trade had predicated before the release. ## "Laal Singh Chaddha", which is the remake of the Hollywood classic hit "Forrest Gump", has been a bigger disappointment as its first-week collection (~ 50 cr) couldn't even cross the opening day numbers of Aamir Khan's last film "Thugs of Hindostan" which scored 50.75 crores net in 2018. ## Directed by Advait Chandan, the overseas collection of the film is somehow respectable with close to 50 crores gross (not final) but the domestic box office is forgettable, to say the least. The negativity around the film before its release also played a massive role in its disastrous fate even though the reception for the film was mixed. ## On the other hand, Akshay Kumar-fronted "Raksha Bandhan" too couldn't get going despite the positive word of mouth. The stakes for the film were low but it still performed underwhelmingly, especially knowing the fact that it has a perfect holiday period to outshine the underfire LSC. As a result, RB scored approx. 39 crores net while the overseas collection is approx. 8 crores, for the worldwide gross total of the film at 54 crores after 8 days. ## The Bollywood industry has now pinned its hopes on the next big release, which is director Ayan Mukerji's magnum opus "Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva". Scheduled for September 9 in multiple languages, the film features an ensemble cast including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy along with the cameos of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. ## Stay tuned...

Dhanush's 'The Gray Man' Becomes 4th Most-Watched English Film On Netflix

Chennai, August 19 - Russo Brothers spy action thriller, The Gray Man, which marks Dhanush's Hollywood debut, has become the 4th most-watched film of all time on Netflix. The overall response, however, has been underwhelming to the movie considering the star power it is carrying. ## "The Gray Man" scored 21.16 million viewing hours in its 4th week (Aug. 8 - Aug. 14). The total viewing hours of the movie now reached 245.09 million in 24 days, ahead of "The Adam Project" (233.16M). Currently, "Red Notice" is the most-watched film on Netflix with 364.02 million viewing hours in the first 28 days, followed by "Don't Look Up" (359.79M), and "Bird Box" (282.02M) at number 2 and 3, respectively. ## "The Gray Man" needs another 37 million viewing hours to become 3rd most-watched film on the streamer in 4 days, which is looking unlikely with the response it is getting. Nonetheless, the movie still managed to finish in the top 5 despite the mixed reviews and the high budget of the film ($200M) will surely make Netflix be careful with its future films. ## Produced by the Russo brothers' company, AGBO, it is the first film in a franchise based upon Greaney's Gray Man novels. The film focuses on the CIA agent Court Gentry, who is on the run from sadistic mercenary Lloyd Hanson upon discovering corrupt secrets about his superior.## The movie stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jessica Henwick, Regé-Jean Page, Wagner Moura, Julia Butters, Dhanush, Alfre Woodard, and Billy Bob Thornton in key roles. A sequel and spinoff to the movie have been announced by Netflix, and one of them will focus more on Dhanush's character. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 19 - Amazon Prime Video is all set to launch its biggest series yet The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, scheduled for September 2. The series had its premiere in Mumbai on Tuesday as the entire cast of it was present. ## Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan attended the premiere and also interacted with the LOTR cast at the event organized by Prime Video. During his interaction with the star cast of the series, Hrithik revealed that it was the "Lord of The Rings" trilogy that inspired his father Rakesh Roshan to make India's original sci-fi superhero film series "Krrish". ## "He was talking about the way they've used this one great incredible idea and then had this progression which was so incredible and [asked] 'why can't we do that?'", said Roshan.## "He said 'why can't we take 'Koi... Mil Gaya' - which is one of our previous films - 'and have a progression and build on that' - and that was the birth of 'Krrish'", Roshan revealed. "If there was no 'Lord of the Rings', there'd be no 'Krrish'".## "Krrish" is India's first superhero film franchise and there have already been three films in it. "Krrish 4" is currently in the scripting stage and is likely to go on floors by the end of the next year. It will be the continuation of "Krrish 3" (2013). ## Meanwhile, "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power", set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, will stream from September 2, and Amazon Prime Video subscribers in India will be able to watch it in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 18 - Singer-actress, Shehnaaz Kaur Gill, who is soon going to make her big Bollywood debut with superstar Salman Khan in "Bhaijaan", is one of the most popular names currently in the Hindi entertainment industry. However, the popularity comes with a price and the actress has started feeling the heat for the same. ## There are rumors that Shehnaaz Gill is dating her "Bhaijaan" co-star Raghav Juyal and this rumor is spreading like a wildfire. It is, however, silly to think about Shehnaaz's link-up rumors as she has always been open about her feeling and we have witnessed the same over the last couple of years. But for some reason, her name is being linked with Juyal and the actress has finally responded to that. ## Recently, Shehnaaz was spotted at a promotional event for her brother's new song, "Aunda Janda" and talked about her dating rumours. She said that media only spreads lies and says anything they want. She said, "Media jhoot kyun bolti hai? Media har bar jhoot bolti hai kayi baar and kuch bi bolti hai".## She also asked a media person that "Aap inke sath (referring to someone) khade ho to aap inke saath relation me ho? Hum kisi ke saath khade ho jayein ya kisi ke saath ghum lein toh relation mein hai? Nahin na... toh bas, media fizool bolti hai. Ab main hyper ho jaungi", Lastly she requested everyone to ask about her brother's song and will talk about her personal or professional life when she will promote her own film or other projects. ## #ShehnaazGill giving it back to the media… love it! pic.twitter.com/rTauxr6MTz— A☁️|Spread Love (@A_Cloud_Feeling) August 17, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Meanwhile, the audience is also eagerly waiting for the next film in the Golmaal series for a long time and the filmmaker has an update for the same. ## Before the cop franchise, it was the Golmaal series that gave Rohit Shetty a blockbuster status and he said that he will keep making Golmaal films till the time he is making films.

Mission Majnu, Govinda Naam Mera, Among 5 Others To Take Direct-OTT Route?

Mumbai, August 18 - The Hindi film industry's revival is getting delayed, thanks to the number of flops since the operation of cinemas resumed post-pandemic. While other industries thriving to new heights, it is Bollywood that hasn't been able to find answers to its misery, and that is also because it isn't offering the cinema audiences is looking for. ## It is a good thing that Bollywood filmmakers, at least some of them, understand where they are going wrong and now looking to make new age cinema that caters to all age audiences. However, there are still some films that were announced for theatrical release, but considering the recent mood of the cinema-going audiences, some of those films might opt for OTT release. ## According to Pinkvilla, "Films like Govinda Naam Mera, Bloody Daddy, Mission Majnu, Freddy, Laxman Uttekar's next with Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan, Action Hero and Doctor G might opt for a direct to a digital premiere if they get the right price. Yash Raj Films too is keeping a close watch on the market to decide on the future of their two films – Maharaja and The Great Indian Family". ## It would be shocking if a couple of films mentioned above indeed take a direct-to-digital route. Sidharth Malhotra delivered one of the finest performances in the last year's OTT film "Shershaah". Many believed back then that the movie should have been released in theaters as it was a perfect film for the big screen. "Mission Majnu" of him very much falls in the same category and there is a good amount of anticipation among the audiences for this film. The same can be said for Shahid Kapoor's "Bloody Daddy", and Ayushmann Khurrana's "Action Hero". ## Bollywood, meanwhile, has films set for theatrical release every week this year and most of them promise to be big screen spectacles, including Brahmastra, Vikram Vedha, Ram Setu, Thank God, Drishyam 2, Bhediya, Cirkus, and Bhaijaan. From next year onwards, there are enough big screen tentpoles which are already having a lot of anticipation. ## Stay tuned...
