With more women voices, Tannishtha Chatterjee says 'shift' under way in Bollywood
BUSAN, South Korea — Acclaimed actress Tannishtha Chatterjee believes Bollywood is undergoing a subtle shift at Asia's biggest film festival as the work of more Indian women — and more stories about Indian women — are hitting the silver screen."We are being heard more and more," said Chatterjee, who has captured the international spotlight for her roles in the likes of "Brick Lane", "Anna Karenina" and "Lion".Bollywood produces around 2,000 movies per year and Chatterjee said while an overhaul of the male dominance might be some way off, there were positive signs."Definitely there is a shift," she said. "[Women directors] are still seen as being indie so the challenge ahead is to be in the mainstream and to become part of pop...

Thai cave film makes world premiere at Busan festival
BUSAN, South Korea — The first movie centered around the cave rescue of 12 Thai schoolboy footballers and their coach made its world premiere on Saturday and there was one man in the audience for whom the experience proved as thrilling as it was nerve-shredding."You can't help but re-live the tension and the fear we were feeling, but also there was that sense of excitement and relief when it was all over," rescuer Jim Warny told AFP.The Ireland-based Belgian was among the crew of international cave rescue divers who plucked the "Wild Boars" and their coach from the Tham Luang Nang Non caves last year and he has traveled to the 24th Busan International Film Festival for the world premiere of the fittingly titled "The Cave".Warny plays himself in the film...

'Joker' smashes October record with $93.5 million debut
LOS ANGELES — Warner Bros.' "Joker" laughed its way to a new record at the domestic box office.Despite mounting controversy and security concerns, the R-rated comic-book movie scored $93.5 million over the weekend and now stands as the biggest October launch of all time. Those ticket sales easily crushed the benchmark previously set last year by Sony's superhero tentpole "Venom" with $80 million.Directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, "Joker" has been the subject of scrutiny in weeks leading up to its release over fears that the disturbing origin story of Batman's infamous foe could inspire violence. However, those anxieties didn't deter moviegoers from turning out en masse to see what all the fuss was about."Joker"...

MEXICO CITY — The organizers of Mexico's Batuta prize in classical music said on Thursday they would no longer award it to Placido Domingo, the legendary opera singer facing a flood of sexual harassment accusations.Domingo had been due to receive the first edition of the prize Saturday in Mexico City along with 15 other honorees, but organizers said they had decided to put his award on hold "until all this has been clarified."The latest snub of the Spanish mega-star came a day after he resigned as general director of the Los Angeles Opera, effectively putting an end to his career in the United States.He also withdrew last week from all performances at New York's Metropolitan Opera.

Podcasts pique Hollywood's interest with fiction series
NEW YORK — Two years ago, podcasts devoted to fiction were a blip on the radar, but the genre is gaining momentum — under the watchful eye of Hollywood, which sees it as a hotbed for new movies and television series.There are only a handful of fiction podcasts, almost drowned out by the talk shows, true crime, science and history series, but their numbers and quality keep going up — "Blackout," "Passenger List," "Carrier" to name some recent entries, soon to be joined by "Motherhacker" or "Frontier Tween.""It's something we hoped would happen, and now we're seeing it really gaining momentum and traction," said Rob Herting.He founded a production company, QCode, barely a year ago, and already it boasts several...
