‘Rohit Shetty-led Indian Police takeover postponed
Bollywood director Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited thriller Indian Police has postponed its release. The television series starring Siddharth Malhotra, Vivek Oberoi and Shilpa Shetty was initially scheduled to release on Amazon Prime Video during Diwali 2023. However, the series was delayed to avoid conflict with the ongoing Cricket World Cup. The new release date for Shetty’s digital debut will be announced next week.
Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ has been discontinued
The three seasons of Daredevil, originally produced by Netflix, are widely known as the Dark Knight trilogy of superhero TV shows due to its grounded and compelling plot. So when Disney+ took over the rights to Daredevil from Netflix and hired relatively inexperienced writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman for the sequel Daredevil: Born Again, there was a lot of skepticism. Now it appears that Disney has finally pulled the plug on the upcoming project after parting ways with both the writers and directors of the episodes. They’re revamping the series and, according to new reports, will hire veteran showrunners for Daredevil: Born Again and future Marvel TV releases, moving away from their previous model of relying on executive producers, writers and directors to oversee Marvel TV shows on Disney+. .
Sam Claflin to star in new adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo
British actor Sam Claflin, best known for his roles in Me Before You, Peaky Blinders and Daisy Jones and the Six, has been cast in the new film adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo.

Claflin will be joined by an ensemble cast that includes Ana Girardot, Mikkel Bo Fölsgaard, Blake Ritson and Carla-Simone Spence, among others. Filming of The Count of Monte Cristo has already begun in Europe, and the premiere is expected in 2024.
Zack Snyder is in talks with Dan Harmon to make Rick and Morty
Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon confirmed that he recently met with director Zack Snyder for a potential Rick and Morty movie. The Emmy Award-winning series recently recast Justin Roiland, who voiced both Rick and Morty, following allegations of sexual assault. It appears creator Harmon is hoping to move on from the scandal after releasing trailers for the new season with Roiland’s replacement. Harmon also wants to adapt the popular animated series and admits that Man of Steel director Snyder would be an ideal candidate. The seventh season of Rick and Morty premieres on Adult Swim on October 15. The first six can be watched on Netflix in India.
Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White to Star in Biopic ‘Iron Claw’
Hollywood star Zac Efron will star in a new biopic alongside renowned TV actor Jeremy Allen White, best known for his roles in Shameless and Bear. The film, titled Iron Claw, will tell the tragic story of the Von Erich wrestling family. The story will be told from the perspective of Kevin Von Erich, the only surviving member of the family, who will be played by Efron.

The biographical sports drama also stars Lily James, Harris Dickinson, Maura Tierney and Holt McCallany. Iron Claw will be released in theaters on December 22, 2023.
David Oyelowo to Star in ‘The Rocketeer’ Reboot on Disney+
British actor David Oyelowo, best known for playing Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma and most recently in the dystopian Apple TV+ series Silo, has been cast in a new role. Oyelowo will star in the reboot of Disney’s 1991 cult classic The Rocketeer.
