F the summer 2012 movie season
were a film in its own right, there
can be little doubt it would be a
sequel - or a reboot - and in
either case, it would likely feature
a superhero.
Hollywood’s summer season kicked
off with the release of The Avengers and
as with recent years, the four-month
period is dominated by superheroes,
sequels and franchise reboots featuring
epic battles between good and evil.
With the summer season generating
as much as 40 percent of the annual
domestic box office, the pressure is on to
lure core audiences of mostly young
men to theatres, and superhero films,
sequels and reboots most often do
exactly that.
Movies based on characters and stories that are well-known, such as those
in comic books (The Avengers and The
Amazing Spider-Man), or games
(Battleship), film sequels (Men in Black
3), remakes (Total Recall) and best-selling books (What To Expect When You’re
Expecting) reach audiences of built-in
fans that typically turn out in droves.
Book-to-film titles like The Hunger
Games and Dr Seuss’ The Lorax already
have helped push movie ticket sales up
14 percent this year to $3.3 billion.
Theatre attendance is up 17 percent giving box office watchers reason to think
the summer will top last year’s $4.4 billion in seasonal revenues.
“With the attendance increase, more
moviegoers have been exposed to the
trailers of the upcoming summer movies
so there is more awareness,” said Paul
Dergarabedian, president of the box
office division of Hollywood.com.
I
Hollywood’s summer of
superheroes and sequels
“Then to have the gold standard of the
superhero world on top of a new Men in
Black, Battleship and a new Pixar movie
among other things, we could be looking
at the first $4.5 billion summer,” he
added.
This summer kicked off with The
Avengers. Internationally, the film
already has pulled in $178 million since
it’s opening day in 39 markets.
The Amazing Spider-Man (opening
on July 3), a franchise reboot with
Andrew Garfield taking the crime fighter role from Tobey Maguire, and the
third
installment
of
director
Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise,
The Dark Knight Rises (releasing on
July 20th).
On May 25, for the first time in 15
years, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones
reprise their roles as secret Agent J and
Agent K who track aliens living on Earth
to make sure they don’t get out of hand
in Men in Black 3.
“It’s a good summer movie,” director
Barry Sonnenfeld said. “It’s not overly
deep. It’s the Will Smith you want to see
- he’s funny and charming. Tommy Lee
Jones is very dry. This time you can
expect time travel (with Josh Brolin
playing a young Agent K) and at the end,
“To have the gold
standard of the
superhero world on top
of a new Men in Black,
Battleship and a new
Pixar movie among
other things, we could
be looking at the first
$4.5 billion summer”
— PAUL DERGARABEDIAN
PRESIDENT OF THE BOX OFFICE DIVISION OF
HOLLYWOOD.COM
you understand much more about their
relationship over the last 15 years.”
Aliens wreak havoc throughout the
summer in films as Prometheus (June
8), Ridley Scott’s is-it-or-isn’t-it prequel
to Alien, and the comedy Neighborhood
Watch (July 27) starring Ben Stiller,
Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill.
The fighting keeps going in sequels G I
Joe: Retaliation (June 29) and The
Expendables 2 (August 17).
And a double reboot, of sorts, takes
place on August 3 when Colin Farrell
takes over Arnold Schwarzenegger’s role
in Total Recall, which opens alongside
Jeremy Renner breathing new life into a
non-Matt Damon Bourne film, The
Bourne Legacy.
Even women get in on the action.
Kristen Stewart and Charlize Theron
battle each other in Snow White and the
Huntsman (June 1). Family-friendly
Pixar joins the fray, too, introducing for
the first time a female lead character - a
young Scottish warrior - in the animated
Brave (June 22).
“It seems in the wake of the box office
success of Twilight and now The
Hunger Games, female audiences wants
something with a little more bite to it,”
said Dave Karger, movie writer for
Entertainment Weekly magazine.
Still, traditional offerings aimed at
women remain important for summer
alternative programming, and this year
sees the ensemble comedy What To
Expect When You’re Expecting (May
18) starring Cameron Diaz and Jennifer
Lopez, romantic comedy Hope Springs
with Meryl Streep (August 10), and
musical drama Sparkle starring the late
Whitney
Houston
and
former
American Idol winner Jordin Sparks
(August 17).
Family films also blanket the season,
as is typical, because the studios expect
air-conditioned theatres to lure moms,
dads and kids on hot summer days. In
addition to Brave, there are several
familiar characters embarking on new
adventures in films such as
Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted,
(June 8) and Ice Age: Continental Drift
(July 13). Comedy always finds a place
in summertime, too, with many bigname stars tickling fans funnybones.
Johnny Depp re-teams with long-time
collaborator Tim Burton on Dark
Shadows, Sacha Baron Cohen introduces a new outrageous character with
The Dictator and Adam Sandler and
Andy Samberg team up for That’s My
Boy (June 15).
Even politics, typically serious business, plays for laughs with Will Ferrell
and Zach Galifianakis starring as political rivals in The Campaign (August 10)
directed by Jay Roach. “Politics has
become so insanely rough, the political
ads are so full of half-truths and manipulations, we thought it would be interesting to make a movie about the making of candidates,” Galafianakis said.
“Obviously we heightened it for a
comedic effect.” Finally, on June 15, a
film version of the smash Broadway
musical Rock of Ages debuts in theatres
boasting a cast including Tom Cruise,
Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand rocking out to music from the ‘80s. “It’s the
perfect for guys,” said director Adam
Shankman, who also made Hairspray.
“The music is all classic rock. It’s the
only musical in history that every man
will know all the words to when they
walk in.”

[march 21 - apr19]
Be prepared to go more
than halfway when
dealing with others today,
because the Moon is
opposite your sign.
Basically, you have
no choice. (Just be nice
to everyone.)
TAURUS
[apr 20 – may 20]
It will be gratifying for
you to attend to little
details that make you
feel better organised.
Make a small to-do list
and get a few things done.
You'll love yourself for
doing this.
GEMINI
[may 21 – jun 20]
This is a playful, fun-loving
day. Take a long lunch if
you can. Do something to
pamper yourself. Enjoy
movies, sports or fun
times with children. Just go
out and pamper yourself if
u will.
CANCER
[jun21 - jul 22]
Putter around your home
today. Family discussions,
especially with parents,
could be significant. You
also might enjoy time
alone, because childhood
memories are bubbling up
to your mind.
LEO
[jul 23 – aug 22]
A busy day! Enjoy short
trips, errands and talking
to siblings, neighbours and
relatives. You've got things
to do, places to go, people
to see! Its one of those
busy days that you will not
feel too busy.

VIRGO
[aug 23 – sept 22]
Focus on financial
matters today. You might
see ways to boost your
income or to make a little
money on the side. It is
always better to have a
second option just incase
the first one fails
LIBRA
[sept 23 – oct 22]
Today the Moon is in
your sign, which means
you have a little bit of
extra good luck. However,
you might feel more
emotional about things.
Relax -- it's no big
thing.
SCORPIO
[oct 23 – nov 21]
Work alone or behind
the scenes today
because you feel the
need for privacy. (And
you certainly are a
private person.) It's a
good day for
research.
SAGITTARIUS
[nov 22 – dec 21]
Discussions with a
female companion
could be significant
today. Share your
hopes for the future,
because someone's
feedback will help
you.
CAPRICORN
[dec 22 – jan 19]
You will briefly be
noticed more than usual by
bosses, parents, teachers,
VIPs and the police.
Keep this in mind if
you're thinking of
doing anything
foolish!
AQUARIUS
[jan 20 – feb 18]
People from different
cultures or other
backgrounds will intrigue
you today because you're
hungry to learn something
new. At the very least, go
someplace you've never
been before.
PISCES
[feb 19 – mar 20]
Tidy up loose ends with
bills, taxes, insurance
matters, wills and
inheritances. Try to get
things done you've been
putting off, so that later, you
can have a warm feeling in
your tummy.

Titicaca, world’s highest lake, at risk
Travel
guide
LAKE Titicaca, the highest commercially navigable Lake in the world, located on the border of Peru and Bolivia, is at
risk from at least five environmental factors, the UN has said. The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) warned
about five threats that would affect Titicaca, situated at a height of 3,811 metres above sea level, the Prensa Latina
news agency reported. According to the UN study, released by Bolivian state newspaper Cambio, the Titicaca water
system and its environs may be affected by the impact of global warming, the fast population growth, and changes in
the use of the soil near the water body. It also mentions as threatening factors the uncontrolled urbanisation, pollution
of water sources and inadequate regulations for disposal of liquid waste from mining, cattle raising, fishing and aquiculture. Titicaca is a sacred place for the Inca civilisation, as Incan mythology says the first Inca king, Manco Capac,
was born here. It also states this was the place where the world was created from, when the God Viracocha came out
of the lake and created the sun, the stars and the first people.
LAKE TITICACA
Pools of pleasure on
France’s Cote d’Azur
The best swimming in the Cote
d’Azur is not in the Med but in
pools and cascades in the steep
valleys a few miles inland, says
Daniel Start, author of Wild
Swimming in France
The Cote d’Azur
DANIEL START
GUARDIAN NEWS SERVICE

The Clue
d’Aiglun
The Cote d’Azur
NLY half an hour from the
hustle and bustle of the
millionaires’ coast is a
remote landscape of clear
rivers and water chutes,
bubbling natural Jacuzzis and wonderful places for snorkelling and swimming. These are probably the most
beautiful cascades in all of France, but
as very few people venture into these
wild hills near the Cote d’Azur, you’ll
probably have them all to yourself.
What better way to quench the heat of a
Provence summer?
The most dramatic of these aquatic
playgrounds is the Clue d’Aiglun, one of
the best-known of the Clues de Haute
Provence, a series of gorges in the hills
north of Cannes. Here, water flowing
down from the Alpes-Maritimes has
sculpted countless grottoes and rock
passages in the white limestone. Soaring
buzzards and the scent of pines greeted
me as I arrived at the spectacular road
bridge which spans the gorge. Far below
the Esteron river has cut a silvery cleft
through the mountainside and emerges
in a string of enticing azure pools. A
path leads down through the arid scrub
to the oasis below. There I found white
marble ledges perfect for picnicking and
for diving into these vast basins of crystal mountain water.
Heading upstream, to where the river
narrows between high cliffs, is decidedly
more adventurous. So I strapped on my
aqua-sandals for some serious aquascrambling, into the heart of the clue
itself. Water gushed and thundered ever
more loudly as I swam upstream against
the current, shafts of light filtered down
from the high roof, and as the channel
deepened and the water churned I
understood how Jonah felt after being
swallowed by the whale. Downstream
from Aiglun, just beyond the village of
Roquesteron on the old France-Savoy
border, Clue de Pierrefeu is a more gentle stream set in a magical woodland.
Overhanging ferns provide shade from
the baking sun and smooth rock slides
drop into perfect little bathing pools,
ideal for children. I continued down to
another tributary, the Riolan, for an
even more sublime dip. First I followed
an old mill leat, hewn from the cliff face,
then swam up an aquamarine channel
before arriving at a series of caves.
Smooth polished chambers have been
sculpted from the rock, and these eventually emerge at a moss-covered cascade,
twinkling with encrusted calcium.
This sparsely populated region has
eagle-nest villages, built long ago to
overlook and defend key routes and territories. Nearby Sigale, on a high outcrop
over the Riolan, is one of the best. The
two medieval towers, remnants of the
ancient fortifications, stand high above
the village on the southern edge, overlooking the valley. This is a fine place for
an early evening aperitif at the solitary
bar, a place to share tales after a day’s
swimming.
There aren’t many places to stay in this
remote region, so we wild camped (generally tolerated so long as you don’t light
a fire). Hiking down the valley at sunset
with cicadas playing in the wild thyme,
we found a stretch of the Esteron by the
Pont de la Cerise, a medieval packhorse
bridge that spans a great blue pool. On
that warm, star-filled night, surrounded
by mountain peaks and ancient oak forest, we bivouacked on the flat rocks by
the river, cooked supper and went skinny-dipping under a rising moon.

Painting by Chile’s Matta tops Latin American art sale at $5 million
Art
guide
CHILEAN artist Roberto Matta’s “La revolte des contraires” led Christie’s Latin American art auction on Tuesday, selling for $5 million and
setting a record for the artist viewed as a seminal figure bridging surrealism and abstract expressionism. “It is a long overdue recognition
for the artist, who is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century,” said Virgilio Garza, Christie’s Latin American art chief. The
auction totalled $23 million and set records for a dozen other artists. An oil on canvas, the 1944 “La revolte des contraires” is a vortex of
canary yellow rhomboids, rippled by undulating black lines and pocked by eruptions of prismatic colours. “The lines serve as a skeleton of
the painting; the thin washes create an ethereal feeling, almost like it’s levitating,” Garza said. “The outburst of colours are almost volcanic.” In Matta’s eyes, the painting represented a mental landscape, he added. “It is surrealism through abstraction.” “The liquid drip in
the painting is part of his breakthrough,” he said of Matta, whose students in New York included Jackson Pollock, who won later renown
for forsaking brushes for drip painting. For a Latin American artist, the $5 million price of “La revolte des contraires” ranks as the third
highest sold at international auction, Christie’s said. Only Rufino Tamayo’s “Trovador,” sold for $7.2 million at Christie’s in 2008, and
“Roots,” a painting by Frida Kahlo sold at Sotheby’s in 2006 for $5.6 million, have fetched more. avante-garde, Christie’s says.

NYT SYNDICATE
ND it shall come to pass that
when the 13th baktun comes
to an end, so will the world.
Everything,
even
the
entombed red-cinnabarcoated kings, shall be destroyed in an
apocalypse. So it has been foretold – and
so many believe – by the ancient Maya
calendar; even Maya deities like the
jade-haired maize god and the goggleeyed storm god must submit. In Arabic
numerals the final date would be represented this way: 13.0.0.0.0.
Talk about bad luck. According to the
Penn Museum here, which has mounted
a major exhibition that manages to be at
once tantalising, illuminating and frustrating, that day is close at hand. Though
many experts calculate it to be
December 21, 2012, the museum
curators believe it is December
23, 2012. And this show,
Maya 2012: Lords
of Time, opens
with a teasing
potpourri of
tabloid headlines, movie
disasters and
television news reports invoking
the imminent catastrophe (though
the exhibition is expected to
remain open after the world
ends, until mid-January 2013).
It’s a setup, of course, because
we soon learn that the Maya civilisation (which once extended
over modern-day southern
Mexico,
Guatemala,
Honduras, Belize and El
Salvador; built major
cities by 500 BC; and
reached its peak before
A.D. 900) had no such
idea.
In fact, the Maya
Long
Count
Calendar, the focus
of the show’s first
part, has no end
(and no real beginning). Maya kings
erected monuments
to themselves using
that eternal calendar, combining an
immense sense of
centrality with an
immense sense of
immensity.
In the exhibition the apocalyptic premise is so easily overturned that it seems

like a straw man, a pretext to draw
crowds. The theme is also resurrected at
the end: The Maya didn’t believe that the
world would end in 2012, we are
reminded. And we are asked to vote: “Do
you?”
I had other questions. And they had
nothing to do with the end of the world
but with a civilisation that left behind
ruins of pyramids, sculptured monuments called stelae and populations
scattered over Central America whose
languages and cultures can be traced
back a millennium to when the Maya
reigned supreme.
The overall sensation created here,
though, is of mystery. Given the length
of time that the Maya thrived – their
classic period was AD 250 to 900, predating the Aztec and Inca empires – it is
astonishing how little is known about
them. It is also surprising how much has
been pieced together only in the last 50
years, with University of Pennsylvania
scholars and the Penn Museum playing
central roles, excavating Copan,
Honduras (with the Honduran Institute
of Anthropology and History).
That involvement is the reason that
the exhibition is mounted here, though
many of its objects are copies, the originals being too heavy or fragile to travel.
The show’s main curator, Loa P Traxler,
is co-author, with Robert Sharer, of an
essential history, The Ancient Maya.
One of her co-curators, Kate Quinn, the
museum’s director of exhibitions, has
introduced clever interactive displays.
One touch screen translates familiar
dates into the exotic Maya calendar;
another lets you explore the extraordinary Copan ruins.
As for artifacts, one jade carving
almost tenderly shows the maize god
nestled in a seashell, as water and earth
join to yield fertile promise. A mysteriously etched skull from the seventh century shows two lords engaged in an
unexplained “calendar ritual.” Most
powerful are the hieroglyphic carvings,
in which human faces, weapons and
ornaments seem manically compressed
to fill rectangular molds, saturating
available space with bulbous images.
Some of the figures are fearsome.
Others seem almost comic: When we see
a seventh-century image of the Copan
dynasty founder wearing a mask of goggles and a set of fake teeth, we are told
that this is meant to invoke Tlaloc, the
storm god of central Mexico, but we suspect some whimsy at work. Did the
Maya have a sense of humour?
If so, it’s not apparent elsewhere.

ceremonies. Blood-coloured cinnabar

was used to coat the dead and is found
throughout the royal tombs. And perhaps because of the hieroglyphs, the
sense here is of taut compression and
not a little ruthlessness.
One altar (a reproduction) pictures an
entire dynasty of kings, created for
Copan’s last ruler. A dead jaguar was
interred to represent each ruler. The
kings used that creature’s fearsome persona as well, perhaps to command the
human chattel who created the pyramids that archaeologists have been
excavating in the Honduran jungles.
Partly because of the show’s theme,
the emphasis here tends to be on Maya
culture’s rational aspect. We learn that
the Maya are best known for their calendar. But nothing revealed here about it is
particularly astounding, and an
astronomer interviewed in a video kiosk,
Anthony F Aveni, points out that the
Maya did not even have a telescope.
Yet the result is intriguing. The Maya
typically used a base of 20 for counting
(as we use a base of 10). Their numerals
have a systematic simplicity: a vertical
bar was a sign for 5 and dots adjacent to
it added 1 each – the bar representing,
perhaps, a flat outstretched hand, and
the dots extended digits for counting.
And just as we use days, weeks, months,
years, the Maya used cyclical calendar
categories. What happens in December
is that the 13th baktun in this cycle of
history comes to an end, and since a
baktun lasts about 144,000 days, this
turn of the odometer is fairly dramatic.
That’s about it. The calendar’s importance turns out to be not that it predicts
the future, but that, with its patterns and
repetitions, it was crucial in deciphering
Maya glyphs and their account of the
past. But even the written record has a
limit. After the ninth century the historical narrative breaks off. Royal monuments stopped appearing. The population dropped significantly, perhaps as a
result of drought, disease or warfare.
There was “evidence for the complete
breakdown of the political system.” It
came to be called the Collapse.
Then, some six centuries later, when
the Maya were no longer a force to be
reckoned with, they were dealt another
blow with the arrival of the Spanish.
Smallpox epidemics broke out. Several
thousand bark-paper books were
burned; only a few survive, some shown
here.
Yet once we pass through this historical account, we feel as if we had still been
left with too little, when we were promised so much. What were Maya religious
beliefs? How did the Maya wield political power? How did they wage war?
How did they transmit knowledge?
What was the nature of their rituals?
Those questions aren’t really raised,
and we are not sure why, except perhaps
that some might have unsavoury
answers. There seems to be a persistent
eagerness at the exhibition to spin Maya
culture, exaggerating its accomplishments and ignoring shadows. Maya
script, we read, for example, “is now
revealed as the world’s most complex
writing system.” Really? On what
grounds? And what about human sacrifice? “Though the Maya practiced
human sacrifice, there is no evidence of
mass killings, as attributed to the Aztecs,
or as depicted in the Hollywood movie
Apocalypto. Not terribly illuminating
for the only mention of the subject: The
Maya practiced human sacrifice, but less
often than Mel Gibson thinks. Yet what
did human sacrifice entail, and what
beliefs were behind it? And the Maya
Collapse, we are informed all too quickly, should not be considered a collapse
because Maya descendants still live in
the region today. “Like other Native
American groups,” we read, “they seek
social justice, prosperity and political
participation in the modern countries in
which they live.” Perhaps, but like other
institutions that show artifacts associated with American Indians, the Penn
Museum here invokes platitudes in discussing them, as if repaying some debt,
and worrying about portraying a negative image. A large concluding part of
the exhibition is devoted to contemporary Maya culture; in interviews Maya
recite almost formulaic comments about
efforts to reconstitute their lost identity.
But if the end of days really does turn
out to be imminent, shouldn’t we be better prepared to encounter what the
ancient Maya deities have in store?

No make-up look for Katy Perry
I hate riding horses: Stewart
SINGER Katy Perry says shooting without make up was the hardest for her while filming her 3D concert film Part of Me. “Well it’s
a lot of different parts of me, this film, and some of them are difficult to put in - especially the ones of me with no make-up,” contactmusic.com quoted Perry as saying. Part of Me is set to
release in July. Perry has promised that the project - which combines concert footage with her everyday life. The singer is likely to
reveal some intimate details of her life. “A lot of people have a lot
of ideas about me, but this is a film that I made for myself, for
my fans ... so that they can get the all-access pass. And I’ve
never been this revealing,” she said.
ACTRESS Kristen Stewart says she hated doing the horse riding scenes in her latest movie Snow White and the Huntsman
in which she plays the Snow White. Directed by British director Rupert Sanders, Snow White... also stars Charlize Theron,
Chis Hemsworth and Sam Claflin. “Riding a horse was the
worst part of the movie. The dynamic between horse and rider
is not for me,” the 22-year-old was quoted as saying by contactmusic.com. But the Twilight star enjoys watching horses
run. “I’ll happily watch a horse run around a pasture, I’ll even
run with him but I hate riding horses. But it’s cool to watch
people genuinely uncomfortable on screen,” she said.

AP
HE Cannes film festival wrapped up the
movies in competition wading deep in
the Mississippi river with Mud, a heartwrenching, Mark Twain-influenced tale
of a teenage boy searching for the
meaning of life in a harsh world and starring
Matthew McConaughey and Reese Witherspoon.
With snake bites, shootouts, and a happy ending, it is proudly — even blatantly — inspired by
the bard of the Mississippi. Stellar performances
from 15-year-old Tye Sheridan — who starred in
last year’s Palme d’Or winner The Tree of Life —
and McConaughey separate it from a pack of films
in competition set in the colourful American
South.
Director David Nichols’ third film was the culmination of his film work so far and a decade of
effort. The 33-year-old managed to scrape enough
money together thanks to the critical success of his
previous two pictures: 2007’s Shotgun Stories,
and last year’s award-winning Take Shelter.
The story of young Ellis on his search for a
parental role model borrows from the sacrifice
and friendship themes of Twain’s classic
Huckleberry Finn, whose fatherless main character embarks on a Mississippi odyssey of self-discovery.
Nichols said Twain’s bittersweet tales immortalising the “mile-wide tide” of the Mississippi river
T
A still from the film Mud
have stayed with him since he first read them
when he was young. He’s frankly unapologetic
about the obvious influence: “If you’re going to
steal from someone, steal from someone really
intelligent. And I stole from Mark Twain.”
Young actor Jacob Lofland, who played Ellis’
best friend, Neckbone, testified to Twain’s influence. Tutored on the book, Lofland recognised
parts of the work in the films script. He said, only
semi-jokingly, “I found out that a lot of stuff (from
the novel) just wandered onto the script. We had a
word with (Nichols) about that.”
McConaughey plays the eponymous character, the woebegone Mud, who is hiding on a
Mississippi island from vengeful bounty
hunters after shooting a man in Texas. Madly in
love with Witherspoon’s unreliable, smoldering
blond Juniper he enlists the support of Ellis and
Neckbone to help win her love. McConaughey’s
performance has wowed critics at the festival.
The Oscar-winning Witherspoon, who spent
an hour in a hot, packed room with journalists
despite being heavily pregnant, was born in
Louisiana and took the relatively small role
because it felt like home to her.
“There are very few movies
about the American South
that are accurate,” she said.
Mud — the Cannes’s official
competition’s last entry —
joined
Lawless and The
Paperboy on the list of Southern
films at the festival. Nichols
explained the phenomenon simply:
“Well, Southerners are good storytellers.”
HILOH JoliePitt and Suri
Cruise are both
daughters of huge
Hollywood stars
— but the similarities
stop
there!
Angelina
Jolie and Brad
Pitt’s daughter
Shiloh, who turned
six on Sunday, loves to be
active and dress like her
older brothers, Maddox,
ten, and Pax, eight. The
tomboy tot wears her hair
short in a pixie-cut, rocks
combat boots and plays
with toy swords.
“She wants to be a boy,”
Jolie explained simply. “So
we had to cut her hair. She
likes to wear boys’ clothes.
She thinks she’s one of her
brothers.
Katie Holmes and Tom
Cruise’s only child Suri,
six, loves all things girly.
The little princess likes to
wear frilly pink dress,
make-up and high heels.
Holmes even looks to
her young daughter for
fashion advice. “I know I
look good when Suri asks if
she can have my outfit when
she’s older,” she told Marie
Claire in 2011. “Suri is magical when it comes to
clothes, she’s quite an
artist.”

Sharman learns to toss egg omelette
Preity hunts for young dimpled cheek girl
ACTORS often undertake diction lessons and special workshops to perfect their characters, but Sharman Joshi, who plays a single parent to a
10-year-old child in his upcoming film Ferrari Ki Sawaari, learnt to
make and toss egg-omelette. According to a source, Sharman had to
execute each domestic task for his home which also included cooking
breakfast for the family for a scene in the film. The shoot demanded
him to make an egg-omelette and flip it over multiple times. Alas,
Sharman didn’t even know how to break an egg for starters. To give his
100 percent to the shoot, he made it a point to practice cooking eggomelette at least twice a day. He practiced for five days and learnt the
art of breaking eggs evenly, cooking them and also flipping the omelette.
ACTRESS Preity Zinta is on a hunt for a young girl with a dimpled
right cheek to play junior Preity in her debut production Ishqk In
Paris. “My casting agents are looking for a four to seven-year-old
girl who has one dimple on her right cheek and can play a
younger me for my film. So difficult to find a little girl who looks
like me thanx to the dimple on my right cheek! Uff! Going crazy
with that casting! Grrrrrrr,” tweeted the actress. She has asked her
Twitter followers to help her team with the task. “If anyone genuinely knows of any little girls that can play mini me (my younger
role), please send photos to [email protected].
Thanks,” she added.

Tale of a backpack
told by 25 directors

IDHIMA Sud was
trained under Larry
Moss, who also mentored Hollywood star
Leonardo DiCaprio,
and now the model-turned-actress
is making her debut with the international movie The Owner. The
film has 25 tales from different
countries, and she says movies
around the world talk about
human emotions.
“Cinema is all about human
experience whether you’re in India
or any other place, emotions of the
human being is all same everywhere,” Ridhima said.
Written and directed by 25 different filmmakers from five continents, The Owner released on
Friday across the globe. The

Owner follows the adventures of
an old backpack that is passed
from character to character around
the world. As the journey progresses, we learn details about the mysterious man to whom the bag
belongs.
The 23-year-old will be seen in
the Dubai segment of the movie,
helmed by US-based Pakistani
director Sahad Shaikh.
“I’m playing a 20-year-old girl in
the movie. My boyfriend in the
movie is an attention seeker and he
flirts around. He also has an on
line girlfriend. It’s a fun role to
play. Just like the guy, I’m also a
spoiled girlfriend who is looking
for something new. It’s fun to
indulge in the character,” Ridhima
added.
The actress got the role through
a social networking website.
“Yeah, somebody sent me a link
of the director on the social networking website and I got the role,
I don’t think there is a big deal
about it,” she said.
“The shooting experience was
unique as the segment was shot in
Dubai. The country doesn’t have an
exciting film industry; there are no
studios or infrastructure, so it was
a little challenging also. There were
no places for rehearsal,” said
Ridhima, who shuttles between Los
Angeles and Mumbai for her work.
Keeping herself busy with theatre, Ridhima learned acting from
the New York University.
“I go back to Los Angeles for theatre every year. I trained under
Larry Moss, who also trained
Leonardo DiCaprio,” she said.
The actress believes that every
cinema is good cinema.
“I want to work, I don’t care
whether its Bollywood, Hollywood
or Lollywood. Every cinema is a
good cinema. The audiences have a
global outlook. Everybody has the
internet, they know what’s going
around in the
world, sensibility has become
standardised, I
wanted to be
able to do good
work.”
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
not remake of Raakh, says Rana

ROM shooting in the
ghettos to learning the
street art of Los Angeles ,
Rana Daggubati is excited to do
all that for Aditya Bhattacharya’s
new-rage adaptation of his 1989
crime drama Raakh. He says the
director has revamped and reinvented the original.
The new version titled A
Momentary Lapse Of Reason moves
to Los Angeles and the hero’s enemies
are now crime-lords operating out of
LA. Rana would be shooting in the
ghettos and some of the most dangerous locations in the city.
“We want to create a film where the
danger to the hero’s life is constant. We
don’t want to fake his fear,” said Rana.
“We want to approach A Momentary

Sud
Now showing
Lapse Of Reason as an original film and
not a remake of Raakh. That film will only
be reference-point. Director Aditya
Bhattacharya has completely revamped
and re-invented the film,” he added.
Rana needs to get into LA at least three
months in advance of the winter shooting
to master various types of street art, including graffiti and spray painting. Street art
was not a part of the original film.
“For the crime world of LA, the spray
paint is the redemption. So many antisocials harness their negative energy into
street art. They spend their time practising
street art with a can of spray paint,” said
the actor who was recently seen in copthriller Department.
Which A-lister from Bollywood is going
to play Rana’s mentor-cop in the film is not
known. In the original, Pankaj Kapoor had
played the part of the disillusioned, drunken ostracised cop who helps hero Aamir
Khan seek revenge after his girlfriend is
gangraped by a ganglord and his
goons.
At the moment, neither the
director nor Rana is willing to discuss the crucial casting of Pankaj’s
character.
Rana admits he was surprised
when
Bhattacharya
approached him.
“Why me? That was my
first thought. I was
impressed by Aditya’s faith
in me. We both grew up in
the film industry, though
in different parts of the
country.
I’m
most
impressed by Aditya’s
homework on the subject.
The sub-culture and the
underbelly of LA has
been explored inside-out
in the script,” said the
actor.
