Scorsese's new hotly-anticipated film, The Wolf Of Wall Street, has just dropped its first trailer.

Paramount Pictures offers a glimpse of one of the highlights of its end-of-year lineup. Two years after his family film digression Hugo Cabret, Martin Scorsese has teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio again in this roguish film based on the memoirs of infamous stock broker Jordan Belfort.

Pitched as a thriller, then as a drama, The Wolf Of Wall Street ultimately looks to be more of a satirical comedy about Wall Street in the 1990 boom years, to judge from the stills released by Paramount Pictures.

In the trailer, DiCaprio tears down the fourth wall to show us the life of Belfort, the money-driven kingpin of an investment firm who eventually fell afoul of the law, got arrested in 1998, and served 22 months in jail for manipulating the stock market and running a boiler room. Matthew McConaughey and Jonah Hill stand out as well in this colorful clip.

The Wolf Of Wall Street is due out in North America on November 15. This feature is bound to be a frontrunner in the competition for the Oscars in 2014.

A taste of Kollywood

Posted: 18 Jun 2013 01:04 AM PDT

New Tamil movie Krishna Thulasi is the result of a Malaysia-India collaboration.

Malaysian and Kollywood actors band together to star in a heartwarming family movie called Krishna Thulasi. Filmed in several locations in India including Kerala, Chennai and Pondicherry, as well as in Kuala Lumpur, this Tamil movie offers a little bit of comedy, romance and drama.

It is produced by local production companies SSK Resources and Nobel Entertainment. This is SSK's pilot project in exploring ventures in the Indian film industry.

At the movie's official launch in KL recently, producer L.D. Saravanan said, "I have produced a lot of local movies and have never ventured into the international market. But after developing good ties with some of the producers and movie makers in India, I decided to take on this challenge.

"We have to somehow find a way to bring Malaysia into the international market and this seemed like a great opportunity."

He added that while shooting the film, the cast and crew had to travel back and forth India and Malaysia. This brought everyone closer together. "It helped us understand each other's backgrounds and cultures. We formed a good working team between us," said Saravanan.

The lead character in Krishna Thulasi – Jayanth – is played by Shures Sharma, a Malaysian actor.

"This is my first time ever working on a movie, so it really was a great challenge as well as a good experience. For one, I don't know how to dance and it's almost 'illegal' to not have at least one dance scene in a Tamil movie!" said Shures.

"I was placed under vigorous training and was on my feet for three weeks in a row learning the moves," the charismatic actor added.

He also revealed that his voice was dubbed over in the movie and said that he is looking forward to learn the Tamil language further and hopes to become more fluent in it.

"I was educated in a Malaysian school, therefore my intonation and language skills are not perfect, even though I speak Tamil rather fluently."

Despite all that, though, Shures said he enjoyed himself immensely and will be working on his second movie which starts shooting next month in Chennai, India. After trying his skills at a family movie, Shures will now attempt to do a thriller.

Krishna Thulasi was directed by first-time director Uma Riyaz Khan, an Indian actress who has starred in a number of television programmes and movies. The movie also stars Sanam, Ilavarasu, Barath Kalyan, Kavithalayaa Krishnan, Sonia Vickneswary and Devi.

Krishna Thulasi runs for 105 minutes and contains two songs – the sentimental Pokkal Unthiren and fast-paced Dola Dola – by music director Vedala Hemachandran.

It revolves around Thulasi, the beautiful wife of Krishna who does a lot of charity work. However, in spite of her wonderful life, Thulasi is unable to conceive, and feels depressed by it. Things start to get worse for Thulasi when her brother-in-law's problems inadvertently become hers.

Krishna Thulasi is now showing in cinemas nationwide and will be released in India next month.

Beware of film industry implosion

Posted: 18 Jun 2013 01:04 AM PDT

Hollywood veterans Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have sparked a debate by warning of an "implosion" of the traditional movie industry, amid soaring budgets and competition from cable TV.

E.T. and Jurassic Park legend Spielberg revealed that he almost failed to get his Oscar-winning political biopic Lincoln into theatres last year.

Star Wars icon Lucas warned that access for films to be released into theatres is "getting smaller and smaller" and said cable television has become much more adventurous.

"I think eventually the Lincolns will go away and they're going to be on television," Lucas said at the opening of a new interactive media building at the University of Southern California last week.

"As mine almost was," Spielberg interjected at the event, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "This close – ask HBO – this close."

Lucas added: "We're talking Lincoln and Red Tails (a 2012 film which Lucas executive produced) – we barely got them into theatres. You're talking about Steven Spielberg and George Lucas can't get their movie into a theatre."

Spielberg said some young filmmakers' ideas were "too fringe-y for the movies," adding: "That's the big danger, and there's eventually going to be an implosion – or a big meltdown.

"There's going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen mega-budget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that's going to change the paradigm," he said. – AFP
