Big B & Taapsee Pannu to come together for Badla

After starring in Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's socially relevant film Pink, Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu might work together once again in filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh's next directorial venture. Tentatively titled Badla, the film is expected to roll in mid-June.

''The film, produced by Sunir Kheterpal, is tentatively titled Badla. A crime thriller, it is expected to roll in mid-June. Mr Bachchan has liked the script but is yet to sign on the dotted line but Taapsee has already committed to the project. The makers have already started work on the prep,'' says a source.


Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan will soon be seen in Umesh Shukla's much-anticipated film 102 Not Out. He is currently shooting for Vijay Krishna Acharya's Thugs Of Hindostan, scheduled to release on 7th November 2018. Brahmastra is another big-ticket film in his hand. Taapsee, on the other hand, is working with Abhishek Bachchan in Manmarziyaan.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
