He's not settling down".## Kosinski further said that it will be some task to bring the same star cast to the movie though the makers are sure they will be able to bring Cruise on board. "I knew we'd be able to get Tom on the plane, but we weren't sure about the rest of the cast," Kosinski explained. ## "Tom devised this three-month course for all the actors, to start with a very simple airplane and work their way up to the Navy jet. They all were able to do all their scenes in the jets for real, which is just phenomenal because you can't imagine how physically difficult it is to do what they're doing. They're flying with real Top Gun pilots", he said.## "I think a couple of them had a hard time, but they wouldn't let me know. They would actually kind of keep it under wraps just because they wanted to make sure we were getting everything we needed to get", the director added.## Stay tuned...

James Gunn Gives Massive Update On Henry Cavill's 'Superman' Comeback

Los Angeles, December 11 - The fans of Superman, the iconic DC superhero character, have been on an emotional rollercoaster of epic proportions over the last few weeks. ## It has been five years since Henry Cavill's Superman was last seen on the big screen in a full-fledged role. It was recently when Henry Cavill announced via social media that he would be returning as Kal-El and even made a theater-shaking mid-credits appearance in Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam". ## The DC Universe, however, is going through a transition period in which the top Warner Bros. Discovery brass is taking some harsh decisions to shape up DC's future for the next 8-10 years. The studio also appointed filmmaker James Gunn as co-head of DC Studio and things are already heating up under his leadership. ## While Cavill announced "Man of Steal 2", earlier this week, reports surfaced that suggested Cavill's highly-anticipated sequel could be on the chopping block alongside a slate of other DC projects. This came as a big shock to the fans and they keep asking Gunn to clear things about the future of Superman. ## It has been alleged that James Gunn does not want Cavill's superman return, however, the filmmaker has himself clarified things and confirmed that Superman is DC's one of biggest priorities. Amid the cancellation rumours, a fan on Twitter asked Gunn "if we're gonna see Superman", to which the filmmaker responded, "Yes of course. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority".## Yes of course. Superman is a huge priority, if not the biggest priority.— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) December 10, 2022 ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Avatar 2 Projected To Take $200 Million Opening In China

Mumbai, December 10 - James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water is less than a week to go before its long-awaited blockbuster release. ## As reported earlier, "Avatar 2" will need to score, at least, $2 billion at the global box office to turn a profit and for that, the movie will need key international markets to come into the game and one of them will be China.## China is the biggest movie market in the world and when it announced the release date of "Avatar 2", which is December 16, it came as a major relief for Disney which was finding it tough to get its movies released in the country. ## "Avatar 2" is tracking a mammoth opening in China. The movie is having a super solid advance booking for the weekend and has already crossed $20 million (till December 13) with 3 days still to go for the release. As per the projection, the sequel is tracking a $185 million - $205 million start in China, which is higher than the opening weekend projection in the domestic market. ## The first "Avatar" movie, which was released in 2009, grossed $202 million in its lifetime run in China (not counting re-release numbers of 2021). "Avatar 2" has a shot to outgross its predecessor's collection in China in the opening weekend itself. ## Meanwhile, the sci-fi epic, which is 3 hours 12 minute-long, has been projected to score $175 million in the opening weekend in the domestic (North America) market. Some of the local box office analysts are even projecting a $200 million start, which will be more than the 3X opening of the first movie. ## Stay tuned...

James Gunn Responds To 'Wonder Woman 3' Cancellation And Other DC Movies' Changes

Los Angeles, December 9 - Filmmaker James Gunn, the new DC Studios co-head, has responded to the chaotic reports about the cancellation of Gal Gadot's "Wonder Woman 3", and other DC movie changes, as far as the future of DC is concerned. ## It was reported yesterday by The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros., under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, is not moving ahead with the next Wonder Woman movie as the studio was not happy with the script presented by Patty Jenkins. ## Apart from the "Woman Women 3" news, it was also reported that the newly announced Henry Cavill may or may not reprise Superman while the upcoming "Aquaman 2" may be the swan song for Jason Momoa as the studio is not willing to take the franchise forward. ## Responding to the reports, James Gunn took to Twitter and said that "some of it is true, some of it half-true, some of it is not true, and some of it we haven't decided yet whether it's true or not". Gunn and Safran have been appointed to shape up the next 8-10 years of DC studio and the former said that it will take some time to build the franchise. ## As far as "Wonder Woman 3" is concerned, Deadline reports that writer-director Jenkins was given another chance to re-develop the story as the top Warner Bros. motion pictures brass were concerned about character arcs and payoffs, and the threequel emulating similar structural problems ala "Wonder Woman 1984", but Jenkins wasn't ready. The studio, however, still wants Gal Gadot to play Wonder Woman, but it is not yet sure she would do it without Jenkins at the helm.## Gunn continues and said that there will be hard steps taken, and by doing this, they will not able to please everyone. He says "Peter & I chose to helm DC Studios knowing we were coming into a fractious environment, both in the stories being told & in the audience itself & there would be an unavoidable transitional period as we moved into telling a cohesive story across film, TV, animation, and gaming".## "We know we are not going to make every single person happy every step of the way, but we can promise everything we do is done in the service of the STORY & in the service of the DC CHARACTERS we know you cherish and we have cherished our whole lives", Gunn says.## The filmmaker goes on to say that all the DC characters and their stories will be given enough time and attention they deserve. "As for more answers about the future of the DCU, I will sadly have to ask you to wait. We are giving these characters & the stories the time & attention they deserve & we ourselves still have a lot more questions to ask & answer". ## Although this first month at DC has been fruitful, building the next ten years of story takes time & we’re still just beginning.— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) December 8, 2022 ## But, in the end, the drawbacks of that transitional period were dwarfed by the creative possibilities & the opportunity to build upon what has worked in DC so far & to help rectify what has not.— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) December 8, 2022 ## As for more answers about the future of the DCU, I will sadly have to ask you to wait.

Priyanka Chopra Received Equal Pay To Her Male Co-Stars For Amazon Prime Video's 'Citadel'

Los Angeles, December 8 - India's international star, Priyanka Chopra revealed in an interview with BBC's 100 Women that she has received equal pay to her male co-stars for Amazon Prime Video's upcoming series Citadel. ## This is the first time that Priyanka is getting equal pay in her 20 years of an acting career. She revealed that in Bollywood, she used to get only 10% of what her male co-stars got to star in a movie.## "I've never had pay parity in Bollywood. I would get paid about 10% of the salary of my male co-actor", the actress said. "It [the pay gap] is large, substantially large. And so many women still deal with that. I'm sure I will too if I worked with a male co-actor now in Bollywood". ## Priyanka, who has worked in over 60 Bollywood movies, also revealed that she had also faced sexism and body shaming while working on Bollywood productions. "I thought it was absolutely ok to sit for hours and hours on set, while my male co-actor just took his own time, and decided whenever he wanted to show up on set is when we would shoot".## "I was called 'black cat' and 'dusky'. I mean, what does 'dusky' even mean in a country where we are literally all brown?" Chopra Jonas continued. "I thought I was not pretty enough, I believed that I would have to work a lot harder, even though I thought I was probably a little bit more talented than my fellow actors who were lighter skinned", she added.## Talking about "Citadel", it is a spy actioner from "Avengers: Infinity War" directors Joe and Anthony Russo. The show features an ensemble cast that is headlined by Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden. ## Stay tuned...

Gal Gadot's 'Wonder Woman 3' Put On Hold Indefinitely

Los Angeles, December 8 - Warner Bros. seems to be clueless or maybe thinking too far ahead to shape up its DCEU future. The studio is moving on from its established superheroes and is on the cusp of a new era as far as the DC movies are concerned. ## The Warner Bros. Discovery CEO, David Zaslav recently roped filmmakers James Gunn and Peter Safran to shape up DC's future for the next 8 to 10 years, and now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, one of the first and big moves by the studio is that it is scrapping the planned 3rd installment of Gal Gadot-fronted "Wonder Woman". ## The report says that Patty Jenkins' "Wonder Woman 3" is not moving forward and is considered dead in its current incarnation. It is said that Jenkins recently submitted her treatment, co-written with Geoff Johns and that Gunn and Safran, as well as Warner Bros. Pictures co-chairs and co-CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, broke the news to the filmmaker, telling her the project β€” as it stood β€” did not fit in with the new plans. ## Jenkins directed and co-wrote the previous two "Wonder Woman" movies, starring Gal Gadot and released in 2017 and 2020. While the 3rd movie has been put on hold indefinitely, no decision has been made about next steps regarding its future.## Possibly clueless about this unfortunate development, Gal Gadot recently took to Twitter and shared that she couldn't wait to share the next chapter of "Wonder Woman" with fans while thanking the audiences for the love showered on the first two movies. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Dwayne Johnson's 'Black Adam' To Face Theatrical Losses

Los Angeles, December 6 - One of the biggest movie stars in the world, Dwayne Johnson's superhero debut with DC's Black Adam couldn't bring fruitful results at the box office, despite grossing approx. $387 million worldwide. ## Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the superhero movie will end up facing losses of $50 million to $100 million in its theatrical run, according to Variety. Though the box office numbers of "Black Adam" are no less knowing how things have gone post the covid-19 pandemic, it is the budget and marketing cost that proving to be a big hurdle for the movie to turn a profit.## The Warner Bros. film was made on a budget of approx. $195 million, making it one of the costliest movies ever made, while it additionally cost $80 million to $100 million on marketing. The report says that the movie needed to do a business of around $600 million worldwide to break even and turn into a profitable venture for the studio, which is unlikely to happen. ## However, according to Warner Bros. sources (via Variety), the movie will break even at $400 million. When the film was commissioned, the break-even was believed to be $450 million, but that figure has dropped given the particularities of the new home entertainment landscape, one in which "Black Adam" has over-performed projections. ## Despite all the above figures and projections, "Black Adam" won't be a profitable venture for Warner Bros. which had high hopes for the movie. It might still be enough for "Black Adam" to get greenlit for its sequel. ## Stay tuned...

Avatar: The Way of Water Tracking For $170 Million Opening In North America

Los Angeles, November 26 - The long-awaited sequel to James Cameron's "Avatar" - Avatar: The Way of Water is set for more than the double opening of the first film at the domestic (North America) box office. ## According to The Hollywood Reporter, the sci-fi epic is tracking at least $150 million - $170 million in the opening weekend in North America. These are conservative estimates and may go higher. The first "Avatar" movie, released in 2009, opened to $77 million and later enjoyed extraordinary legs to project a $785 million lifetime total (re-release included).## One of the reasons for the conservative opening weekend projections of "Avatar: The Way of Water" is that it is 30 minutes longer than the first movie with a runtime of 3 hours and 10 minutes, meaning the sequel will have fewer showtimes per day.## "Avatar 2" is not the only Hollywood movie with longer runtime. The second and third highest-grossing movies of all time, "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.79 billion) and Cameron's "Titanic" ($2.2 billion) are more than 3 hours long. As reported earlier, "Avatar 2" is eyeing a minimum $2 billion worldwide gross collection in its lifetime run. ## Produced by Cameron and Jon Landau, and distributed by Disney, "Avatar 2" stars Zoe SaldaΓ±a, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Kate Winslet, and Stephen Lang, among others in key roles. The movie is scheduled to release on December 16 in over 100 languages worldwide in multiple formats.## Stay tuned...

'Avatar: The Way of Water' Needs Minimum $2 Billion Worldwide Gross Collection For Break-Even

Los Angeles, November 23 - James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar: The Way of Water is getting hot as the release date gets closer. The sequel to Cameron's 2009 movie, "Avatar 2" is a rare film that is a sure shot to cross $1 billion gross at the worldwide box office but it will need more than just $1 billion. ## "Avatar: The Way of Water" is one of the most expensive films or maybe the most expensive movie ever made. The early reports have claimed the production budget of the movie alone was in the $250 million range, however, according to Cameron, the movie is so expensive that it will need to become the third or fourth highest-grossing film in history for just a break-even target.## There have been only five films in history to reach $2 billion at the worldwide box office. The top three movies are Cameron's original "Avatar" with $2.9 billion, followed by "Avengers: Endgame" with $2.7 billion, and Cameron's "Titanic" with $2.1 billion at number 2 and 3, respectively.## That means, according to Cameron, that if "Avatar: The Way of Water" wants to break even, it'll need to overtake either "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($2.07 billion) or "Avengers: Infinity War" ($2.05 billion) in the fourth or fifth slots, respectively. In other words, the sequel will need a minimum of $2 billion worldwide to turn into a profitable film. ## "Avatar: The Way of Water" opens in theaters on December 16 and in India, it will release in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages in multiple formats.## Stay tuned...

Avatar: The Way of Water Sets Release Date In China

Beijing, November 23 - James Cameron's mega movie Avatar: The Way of Water has been cleared to release in China, according to The Wall Street Journal. In what could be a blockbuster move from Disney, the movie will be hitting Chinese theaters on December 16, the same day it is slated to be released globally. ## China has been tough for Disney as the studio failed to get clearance to release its blockbuster movies in China from the censor board. The studio and Chinese movie theaters had been closely watching for a decision from Chinese censors on the movie, the sequel to Cameron's 2009 sci-fi epic. ## China carries a huge box office potential for blockbuster titles and this could hugely benefit Disney to generate big millions with "Avatar 2". The first "Avatar" movie grossed over $260 million in China and was the second-biggest market after North America.## As said earlier, the last seven superhero films produced by Marvel Studios, Disney's most-profitable film studio over the past decade, haven't received release dates in the crucial China market, denting the global box-office gross.## Meanwhile, James Cameron has already set huge standards for "Avatar 2" at the box office. The budget of the film is not known yet, but according to Cameron, "Avatar 2" will need to become the fourth or fifth highest-grossing movie of all time or at least $2 billion to clear the break-even target. The future of Avatar movie also depends on how the sequel performs.## Stay tuned...
