Rewriting The Record Books : The Dark Knight - Fastest To The $300 Million Mark


The Dark Knight continued its box office onslaught this week,shattering new records and winding up solidly at number one
for the second weekend in a row.The previous record for fastest film to $300 million was owned by
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It hit the mark in just 16 days. It stole the record from Revenge of the Sith
which managed the fest in 17 days. Before that was Shrek 2 at 18 days. Seeing the pattern? The Dark Knight did it in just
10 days, beating the record by nearly a week. Don’t look for that one to be broken anytime soon.
Of course, by default, that gives Batman the top all time 10-day total. Dead Man’s Chest had the previous spot with
$258 million. The Dark Knight is sitting pretty at $314 million. Again, a total that likely won’t be touched for a long time
to come.At $314 million Batman has also now officially made Iron Man and Indiana Jones’ struggle for number one cash maker
of the year a pointless battle. They’ll be left to bicker over number two as The Dark Knight takes a crack at topping Star
Wars for the number two all-time record (there’s no chance of becoming number one...Titanic holds that one solidly
at $600 million).

The Lindsay Lohan-Samantha Ronson Relationship







Lindsay Lohan is reportedly a lesbian or maybe bi-sexual or maybe just bi-curious.Whatever she is,she’s said to be currently
dating Samantha Ronson,and we couldn’t be happier for her.You see: the whole point of romantically seeing someone is that
they balance you out.Most times when celebrities date eachother,they simply spur on more reckless behavior.But Samantha
Ronson seems to be having the opposite effect.Reliable and centered, she escorts Lindsay to photo shoots, screenings, and
even recently defended Lindsay’s little sister against tabloid rumors.
And beyond all that, Lindsay actually looks happy. The woozy, glazed-over eyes of an unreasonable party girl are gone,
replaced with the adoring, tender ones of a doting girlfriend. I have no idea if these two will make it in the long run,
but this is certainly,a step in the 'right direction'.With Samantha’s help,Lindsay has actually shed the 2A.M. coke lines
for 11P.M. snuggles.

RGV' Innovative New Marketing Strategy : Watch 'Phoonk ' Alone In Theatre And Win Rs.5 Lakh


After the failure of Contract,Ram Gopal Verma has devised a new way to promote his new film,Phoonk which is a flick based on
superstition and black magic.It is set to release next month.And if reports are to be believed,Ramu claims that Phoonk is
the scariest of all his horror films.So much so that now Ramu and producer,Azam Khan,have,rather immodestly,announced a
prize money of Rs 5 lakh for anyone who can dare to see the film all alone in the theatre. Darna strictly mana hai..
Azam Khan says, “We're confident that the film is so scary that it will be extremely difficult to watch it all alone in a
theatre. We will be running a contest and giving out details on our website about how to participate in it. Right now we
have decided that we will screen the film for the winners of the contest a few days before the release of the film, that is
on August 22. At the moment we have planned four trials that we will screen in a preview theatre.”The condition is simple -
anyone who wants to win Rs 5 lakh has to watch the film from start to finish,without getting out of the theatre .The contest
will be well-publicised .We are now working out the logistics of date and time.”Although Ram Gopal Varma remained
unavailable for comment, his close friend says, “Ramu is very confident of the film and knows that he has made one of the
scariest film on black magic and that's why he is ready to challenge viewers.” Any takers???

SRK and Priyadarshan Unite


Shah Rukh Khan's Latest venture is with ace comedy film maker Priyadarshan and is called "Billo Barber".Like most of Priyadarshan's movies this is also inspired by last year's biggest malayalam hit "Kadha Parayumbol", starring Mamooty and Sreenivasan. The hindi version has Shahrukh playing Mamooty's role while Irfan Khan plays Sreenivasan's.

The movie is about a village barber Billo (Irfan Khan), who'll be losing his business because he has not been able to come to terms with the changing trends. One fine day a movie unit visits his village for shoot and so does Billo's school mate who is a superstar now...All of a sudden Billo's status changes just because he is star's friend...
The movie will also star Deepika Padukone, Juhi Chawla, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra amongst the female lead.It'll be Produced by SRK's Red Chilli Entertainment...With Yashraj's Shahrukh starer "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" wrapping shoot, looks like SRK will have back to back releases....

Star Wars To Hit Screens In An Animated Version


Star Wars as a cartoon? Why not. The past two movies were almost entirely animated anyway. The only thing real in Revenge of
the Sith were it’s handful of human actors.For George Lucas, the movie is really just a way for him to launch his first
post-prequel Star Wars television series which is slated to premiere soon.Computer animated action movies can work, if
they’re done properly. Brad Bird proved that with The Incredibles and more recently Dan Harmon with Kung Fu Panda.
So here' hoping that George Lucas manages pull off something that comes straight from his 'obsession'(animation).
