2008 to see LOVE STORY 2050

April 19th 2008 19:05

Bollywood Trade News Network
Year 2007 saw enough newcomers emerging and now 2008 is ready with yet another newcomer Harman Baweja, son of Bollywood Producer/Filmmaker Harry Baweja, who affirms to get launched in grand style with the futuristic LOVE STORY 2050.

Filmmaker Harry Baweja who always went ahead and dared to experiment with his genre of films, most of them being with Ajay Devgan as a lead actor, this time has stepped into the most expensive venture pumping about 40 crores to mark his son Harman's debut.

Most of the debutants in Bollywood has been given a launch with the soft chocolate boy characters, but Harman would be seen in altogether different launch, with a difficult / unusual setting, though again a lover boy, in a sci-fi film of this grand scale. Even Hrithik, Ranbir commenced their careers portraying soft lover boy characters.

When asked the intelligent director, wont it be harsh giving Harman such a difficult project for his launch? On this Harry replied swiftly, "Infact I think all the more this would be his perfect launch because the concept of the film is very strong. I think otherwise, because it's more challenging, more difficult, more hardworking, which would yield results. I think choosing a difficult path is much more challenging and it pays off well."

Initially Kareena was to play the lead role in LOVE STORY 2050 opposite Harman but due to her date problems she quit and lovely Priyanka Chopra (who also happens to be Harman's real life love interest) became part of this esteemed project. When we asked Harry regarding the same is he was satisfied with Priyanka being the part of the film instead of their first choice Kareena, he candidly affirmed saying, "Yes, more than satisfied and happy too. It's good to have a new boy being launched with the top actress."

Come summer and we will see the promos of LOVE STORY 2050 and the release is schedule for the month of July. So get ready for the ultramodern and slick LOVE STORY 2050.

My film has more FX than 'Krrish': Harry Baweja

April 19th 2008 19:04

Friday Apr 18 10:25 AM

Mumbai, April 18 (IANS) Producer-director Harry Baweja promises his forthcoming 'Love Story 2050', about futuristic Mumbai, will be more spectacular than 'Krrish' as he has hired technicians involved with films like 'Lord Of The Rings'.

'Thirty years ago, Hollywood got us Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone doing 'Terminator' and 'Rocky'. It was all about letting the machismo hang out. Today, the concept of the actioner and the action hero has changed.

'Overt beefy jungle-man tactics are out. Today's audience is the subtle urban multiplex audience,' Baweja told IANS.

After Baweja, Shekhar Kapur will showcase a vision of tomorrow's Mumbai in his film 'Paani'.

'I'm glad I was the one to bell the cat. Everyone seems to have woken up to the powers of special effects. The audience now wants to see more FX films. I feel after my film's release there'll be dozens of such films on the floor. This is the future of Indian cinema.'

Though 'Love Story 2050', which is son Harman's launch pad, moves through two different time zones and two eras, Baweja says he has learnt a lesson from the 'Jodhaa Akbar' experience. He is trying to keep his film short.

'Mine is an epic kind of film. The story needs to move smoothly in time. The time factor is a problem. We tried to get it down to two hours and 30 minutes, but we'll have to keep it at two hours and 50 minutes.'

'We divided the FX in 'Love Story 2050' over five international studios. Technicians involved with films like 'Lord Of The Rings' are part of our film.'

There's apparently been infinite delay in the release of the futuristic spectacle and Baweja says it is because of the special effect, which takes a lot of time.

'We started shooting on Sep 3, 2006, and finished in March 2007. Any special effects film is bound to take that long... not to compare myself with anyone else. But my film has 10 times more FX than 'Krrish'.'

'We've something called animatronics in our film. That took inordinately long. It required a six-month waiting period. One year before that we applied for copyrights for designs.'

Speaking of his son, Harry says: 'Harman is being targeted at the youth. He's young, energetic and part of the Gen X, so he's being given a launch where the audience gets to feel the excitement of a spectacle. This time my responsibilities are tremendous.'

Baweja tries to play down his excitement about his son's debut.

'You mean now I don't have to sign outside stars and I just have to run to my son? I was very happy making films with Ajay Devgan. But it's definitely gratifying to have a leading man at home whose career I can mould. Just like Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan.

'Like Hrithik, Harman understands cinema and the camera. That really helps. He's a fast learner and growing by the day. He has been learning very fast. Even if I weren't his father, I'd rate him very highly.'

He says that it's too early to say how many prints will be released.

'But after the encouraging response to the theatrical trailer, we feel the print order will be far more than we had anticipated. All I can tell you is nothing like this has been attempted before.'

'Harry Potter' Author J.K. Rowling Outs Dumbledore At New York Event

October 28th 2007 11:12

Writer reveals many other surprises during Q&A sessions.

NEW YORK — "That's a very good question. I've never been asked that before!"

Only a few questions into "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling's Q&A session at the close of her Open Book Tour at Carnegie Hall on Friday (October 19), she found herself repeating that line over and over, as the 1,600 public schoolchildren in attendance laughed gleefully. The students appeared to be true scholars of Rowling's work in her estimation, and she praised them for stumping her, since for at least one moment, she confused her own story's chronology.

"Ah! She doesn't know her own books!" Rowling laughed.

However, the comment that grabbed headlines took place at a Q&A session with sweepstakes winners later during the day. Rowling told the audience that Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore was gay and had fallen in love with fellow wizard and erstwhile friend, Gellert Grindelwald, according to the Associated Press and Potter fan site the Leaky Caudron. The crowd cheered, leading Rowling to say:

"If I had known this would have made you this happy, I would have told you years ago."

The answer came in response to the question of whether Dumbledore had ever been in love. Rowling replied, "My truthful answer to you ... I always thought of Dumbledore as gay. ... Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald, and that added to his horror when Grindelwald showed himself to be what he was. To an extent, do we say it excused Dumbledore a little more? Because falling in love can blind us to an extent, but he met someone as brilliant as he was, and rather like Bellatrix he was very drawn to this brilliant person, and horribly, terribly let down by him. Yeah, that's how I always saw Dumbledore.

"In fact, recently I was in a script read-through for the sixth film, and they had Dumbledore saying a line to Harry early in the script, saying, 'I knew a girl once, whose hair ...' [the crowd laughed]. I had to write a little note in the margin and slide it along to the scriptwriter: 'Dumbledore's gay!' "

Noting the audience's enthusiasm, she added, "I had to give you something to talk about for the next 10 years. ... Just imagine the fan fiction now."

At the session earlier in the day, questions about love were directed at Rowling herself. When asked by an 18-year-old 12th grader, "Which of the Potter characters would you marry?," Rowling giggled. "The truth is, in my younger days, I dated Ron more than once," she admitted, giving an inside look at why Hermione (the closest character to Rowling's younger self) might be attracted to Harry's best friend. "He's fun to write, but not so much fun to date." And once she had learned her lesson, Rowling said, "I married Harry Potter," referring to her second husband, Neil Murray. "He's up there [in the wings]. I just mortified him," she laughed. "But he looks like Harry would look like, at a certain age. I married a very good person and a gutsy person. And that's who Harry is."

Fans might think that's even more reason why Hermione should end up with Harry — but Rowling said she always knew that Ron and Hermione were meant to be together, just as she thought Harry and Ginny were meant to be together. "I thought it was obvious, but apparently there are Internet wars about this," she said. "And they get very vicious." Rowling said she was unaware of the shipping wars for years, until someone suggested she take a look at the fan sites. "It was scary!" So many readers wanted Hermione and Harry to be a couple, Rowling said, that "I got hate mail ... from adults! Not people your age. You at least understood."

And for those who didn't, she explained. "Harry and Ginny are real soul mates," she said. "They're both very strong and very passionate. That's their connection, and they're remarkable together. Ron and Hermione, however, are drawn to each other because they balance each other out. Hermione's got the sensitivity and maturity that's been left out of Ron, and Ron loosens up Hermione a bit, gets her to have some fun. They love each other and they bicker a bit, but they enjoy bickering, so we shouldn't worry about it."

Rowling was also surprised how many fans expressed desire for a romantic story line for Harry's nemesis, Draco Malfoy. "No, please!" she laughed. "Please don't fancy Draco!" When a 13-year-old eighth grader asked whether Draco was ever actually evil, or if he was just acting that way because he was afraid, Rowling clarified that she thought he was a lot like Dudley, Harry's cousin — "raised as a pampered only son, indoctrinated with his parent's beliefs." The moment Draco got what he thought he wanted, to become a Death Eater, and given a mission by Lord Voldemort, as he did in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," reality finally hit him, Rowling said, because his dream was "so very different."

"If the question is whether Draco would have committed the murder, my answer is no," Rowling said. "I don't think he would. He had lowered his wand. He was prepared to come over to Dumbledore's side. I hope you see that there's some of that same feeling in Book Seven, when he does try to protect Harry. But he's in too deep. Like a lot of characters, he's not a hero. There's a real moral cowardice to Draco. But is he wholly bad? Absolutely not."

Same with Dudley, whom Rowling imagined would have awkward reunions with Harry over the years. "I've never been asked that either!" Rowling said when a 16-year-old 12th-grader wondered if the two would ever see each other again. "Harry and Dudley would still see each other enough to be on Christmas-card terms, but they would visit more out of a sense of duty and sit in silence so that their children could see their cousins." Which means Dudley actually gets to the point where someone besides his parents would find him loveable? "People usually ask me, what is it that Dudley saw during the Dementor attack?" Rowling said. "My feeling is that he saw himself, exactly for what he was, and for a boy that spoiled, it would be terrifying. So he was jolted out of it. Dementor attacks aren't usually good for people, but this one was."

As is sometimes not knowing the whole story. Like Rowling before "Deathly Hallows" was published, Dumbledore withheld key information from Harry, so as not to "spoil" his journey, prompting a 9-year-old fourth grader to ask if Dumbledore ever really did love Harry, or was he just manipulating him so that he would sacrifice himself in the end?

"That's a deep question, thanks for asking it," Rowling said. "Dumbledore did like Harry, and as he got to know him, he became like a son to him. But I wanted you to question Dumbledore. It is right to question him, because he was treating people like puppets, and he was asking Harry to do a job that most men twice his age wouldn't have been able to do." But if Harry had all the information, he likely would have been tempted into doing something else, so he had to trust Dumbledore, who ultimately did guide him to do the right thing, Rowling said.

Having magic doesn't make anything easier, she said. "If everyone were given a wand ...," she started. (Spotting one fan with a wand, she pointed to him and added as an aside, "You've already got one! I hope that's not trained on me!") "... The world would be strangely similar," she continued. "Because nearly everyone, and not just because you're Harry Potter fans, would want to use it for good, to have fun, to look after their friends and family. But a small number would think, 'What's in it for me?' And that's the dark side of human nature, which remains the same whether you have a wand or not. We'd have exactly the same problems. Cruelty. Bigotry. Oppression. That's what Harry's fighting against. Not magic."

'30 Days Of Night': Tired Blood, By Kurt Loder

October 28th 2007 11:03

The sun goes down on Josh Hartnett and Ben Foster in an anemic vampire flick.

Steve Niles' "30 Days of Night" comic-book series, which got underway in 2002, worked a clever new twist on the vampire genre. In the opening issues, a group of vampires discovered the existence of Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States. Since the sun deserted this remote habitation for one whole month every year (in the comic, anyway), the famously light-loathing vampires decided to travel to Barrow and spend those 30 sunless days feasting on the locals
