  • Weinstein used Hollywood power to rape, court in Los Angeles hears

    By AFP

    LOS ANGELES: Harvey Weinstein used his power and influence in Hollywood to rape women, leaving them terrified for their careers if they stood up to him, a court in Los Angeles heard Monday.

    The movie mogul exploited both his physical size and his position as “king” of the film industry to attack his victims in hotel rooms, the prosecution said, as a two-month trial began to hear evidence.

    “They feared that he could crush their careers if they reported what he had done,” Deputy District Attorney Paul Thompson told the packed courtroom.

    Thompson said jurors would hear from eight women who were sexually assaulted by the “Pulp Fiction” producer, who is credited with making the careers of some of the movie industry’s biggest names, including Quentin Tarantino, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Gwyneth Paltrow.

    “Each of these women came forward independent of each other, and none of them knew one another,” he said.

    The jury will hear testimony from these women, he said, including how they begged the now-70-year-old to stop, but that he persisted in raping them, forcing them to perform oral sex on him, or making them watch him masturbate.

    Weinstein, who produced “The English Patient” and “Good Will Hunting,” is already serving 23 years in jail in New York after being convicted there of a series of sex crimes.

    He now faces 11 more charges, including sexual battery by restraint, forcible rape and forcible oral copulation against women in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles hotels between 2004 and 2013.

    If convicted, Weinstein — who has pleaded not guilty to all counts — could be sentenced to more than 100 additional years behind bars.

    Thompson played jurors a series of quotes from the alleged victims, describing Weinstein as “the most powerful person in the industry,” and “the king.”

    “Part of me was thinking should I just make a run for it, but he’s a big guy,” one of the women told investigators.

    “He’s big. He’s broad. He’s overweight. He’s domineering,” one said.

    “I still wanted to work in Hollywood so I was afraid to do anything because of that,” one woman said.

    “I was scared that if I didn’t play nice something could happen in the room or out of the room because of his power in the industry,” another woman said.

    In common with most victims of sexual assault, the women in the case are being referred to as “Jane Doe,” in order to preserve their anonymity, but one has been publicly identified as Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California governor Gavin Newsom.

     #MeToo 

    Defending, Mark Werksman said the prosecution’s case was one of quantity, not quality, and driven by emotion, not reason. He said sex in Hollywood was a commodity, and that this was all exploded by the advent of the #MeToo movement.

    “It was transactional sex. It may have been unpleasant, and embarrassing… but it was consensual.

    “It was the casting couch. Everyone did it. He did it. They did it. Because each wanted something from another,” Werksman said.

    “Look at him. He’s not Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Do you think those beautiful women had sex with him because he’s hot? No. They did it because he was powerful.”

    “An asteroid called the #MeToo movement hit the earth with such ferocity that everything changed overnight. And Mr Weinstein became the epicentre.

    “The accusers, in this case, women who willingly played the game by the rules that applied back then, they will come into this courtroom now… and claim they were raped and sexually assaulted,” Werksman said.

    Widespread sexual abuse and harassment allegations against Weinstein exploded in October 2017, and his conviction in New York in 2020 was a landmark in the #MeToo movement.

    In June, he lost a bid to have that sex crimes conviction overturned. He has been separately charged by British prosecutors with the 1996 indecent assault of a woman in London. In total, nearly 90 women, including Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow and Salma Hayek, have accused Weinstein of harassment or assault.

    Before the allegations emerged, he and his brother Bob were Hollywood’s ultimate power players.

    Their hits included 1998’s “Shakespeare in Love,” for which Weinstein shared the best picture, Oscar. Over the years, Weinstein’s films received more than 300 Oscar nominations and 81 statuettes.

    “She Said,” a film about the 2017 newspaper investigation into Weinstein that sparked the demise of his movie empire, is set for wide release on November 18 in the United States.

  • Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles 2022 announces film lineup

    By PTI

    MUMBAI: The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles (IFFLA), which returns to in-person screenings and events this year, will showcase 26 films, including the world premiere of Anmol Sidhu’s “Jaggi” and North American premieres of Faraz Ali’s ‘Shoebox’ and Natesh Hegde’s “Pedro”.

    In its landmark 20th Anniversary edition, IFFLA will also inaugurate a Spotlight on South Asia section, feature a 20th Anniversary Shorts special program celebrating the festival’s history, with a pre-festival screening of IFFLA alumni shorts highlighting films representing each year of the festival’s history with an in-theater co-presentation with New Filmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA). The festival will also include a gala presentation of Pan Nalin’s “Last Film Show” besides the 10 feature films and 16 shorts.

    IFFLA, to be held from April 28 to May 1, will present a live script read previewing an IFFLA alumnus’ next feature project, and include the announcement of a filmmaker mentorship initiative to further support emerging South Asian filmmakers.

    “Reflecting on IFFLA’s 20 years, we find ourselves overjoyed by the range of incredible talent we have discovered and celebrated, introducing numerous emerging and established voices to Los Angeles… We are now ramping up our efforts to support the careers of filmmakers by adding to the programs IFFLA has become known for over the past two decades, not just as a touchstone for our filmmakers, but also as a bridge to their next films,” IFFLA Executive Director Christina Marouda said in a statement.

    Nalin’s “Last Film Show” debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival and has been screened at film festivals across the world.

    A second Gala presentation will be announced at a later date.

    Sidhu’s “Jaggi” follows a schoolboy in rural Punjab who faces toxic masculinity and sexual abuse when he’s assumed to be gay.

    Making its North American premiere is Faraz Ali’s “Shoebox”.

    The film tells a coming-of-age story of a young woman who watches her father struggle to keep the family’s single screen movie theatre operating while everything changes around them.

    Also making its North American premiere is Natesh Hegde’s “Pedro”.

    The film focuses on a taciturn electrician who becomes a social outcast in his small Karnataka town after becoming involved in a drunken incident.

    IFFLA’s co-director of programming, Thouly Dosios, said this year’s festival is about reclaiming the powerful act of cinema as a communal experience.

    “At the same time, it is about mindful evolution; our post-pandemic world forces us to reassess how we connect with each other and share our stories. The limitations we’ve had to deal with have empowered us to forge ahead with an expanded mind and a wilder imagination,” Dosios said Co-Director of programming Ritesh Mehta said the rise of South Asian voices in the global arena will be reflected in their programming.

    “This 20th year, we’re beyond thrilled to have corralled some of these groundbreaking visions, and in turn offer some inspiring discoveries back to the culture.”

    The feature film lineup also includes Irfana Majumdar’s “Shankar’s Fairies”, a tale set in 1960s Lucknow about the touching bond that develops between the young daughter of a police chief and the family’s head servant, through his fantastical stories.

    Aditya Sengupta’s sumptuous Bengali drama “Once Upon a Time in Calcutta”, Nithin Lukose’s critically acclaimed directorial debut “Paka” (River of Blood) and Rahul Jain’s documentary “Invisible Demons”, which premiered in Cannes’ Cinema for the Climate section are also part of the festival screenings.

    Of the 11 short films presented in IFFLA’s main competition lineup, 8 are helmed by women directors.

    This section boasts four world premieres, including Megha Ramaswamy’s provocative psychological horror “Lalanna’s Song”, co-produced by Guneet Monga; Ambiecka Pandit’s “Under the Waters”, a raw coming of age drama produced by Vikramaditya Motwane; the deadpan debut “Adventures of Faisal Rehman” by Mir Ijlal Shaani; and Varun Chopra’s politically charged documentary “Holy Cowboys” extremism.

    The section also includes Student Academy Award winner, “Close Ties to Home Country” by Akanksha Cruczynski.

    IFFLA’s new Spotlight on South Asia section features Bangladeshi filmmaker Abdullah Mohammad Saad’s psychological thriller “Rehana” (Rehana Maryam Noor).

    The spotlight includes the shorts “1978” (Pakistan) by award-winning director Hamza Bangash, Salar Pashtoonyar’s 2021 Student Academy Award winner “Bad Omen” (Afghanistan/Canada), Sunil Pandey’s Rotterdam 2022 selection “Baghthan” (Nepal), Nuhash Humayun’s 2022 SXSW Midnight Shorts Grand Jury Prize winner “Moshari” (Bangladesh), and Seemab Gul’s “Sandstorm” (Pakistan), which premiered at the 2021 Biennale’s Orizzonti.

    As part of IFFLA’s 20th Anniversary celebration, the festival will showcase a hybrid presentation of 20 short films, including movies by Umesh Kulkarni’s absurdist tale “The Fly” (Makkhi), the Academy Award nominated “The Little Terrorist by Ashvin Kumar, and Nagraj Manjule’s “An Essay of the Rain”.

  • Film set gunfire: Alec Baldwin, ‘Rust’ producers sued by film’s script supervisor

    By ANI

    WASHINGTON: A lawsuit has been filed against ‘Rust’ star Alec Baldwin and the film’s producers over the fatal shooting, which took place on the sets, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

    As per Variety, the script supervisor on ‘Rust’ filed the lawsuit against Baldwin and the film’s producers on Wednesday, saying she suffered both “physical and emotional” injuries when Baldwin accidentally shot the film’s cinematographer while preparing for a scene.

    Mamie Mitchell filed the suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court and is represented by attorney Gloria Allred. In the complaint, she stated that she was standing just four feet from Baldwin when the gun went off.

    “Plaintiff was terrified and feared for her life. The gunshot caused Plaintiff to experience pain in her ears and head and, shortly thereafter, Plaintiff began to hear loud ringing in her ears. Soon after, Plaintiff witnessed the horror of what had occurred,” the suit stated.

    The lawsuit also alleged that Baldwin should have checked the gun to make sure it was unloaded and also accused the producers of cost-cutting measures that led to the incident.

    The suit also cited a text message from the film’s camera operator, in which he complained of two accidental discharges on the set prior to the October 21 shooting. Mitchell was the first to call 911 after the incident.

    “I’ll never forget what happened on the set of ‘Rust’ that day. This violent tragedy has taken away the joy of my life… I never want what happened on our set to ever happen to anyone else,” Mitchell said at a press conference.

    The lawsuit is the second to be filed in the ‘Rust’ tragedy. Serge Svetnoy, the film’s gaffer, filed a separate claim last week, stating that he, too, was in close proximity to Baldwin when the shot was fired and also suffered physical and emotional harm.

    Mitchell’s suit stated claims of assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress and deliberate infliction of harm.

    In addition to Baldwin and the film’s producers, the suit also names several crew members as defendants, including armourer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and first assistant director Dave Halls.

    The producers and executive producers named in the suit are Ryan Donnell Smith, Allen Cheney, Nathan Klingher, Ryan Winterstern, Matt DelPiano, Anjul Nigam, Emily Salveson, Jennifer Lamb and Chris M.B. Sharp.

    Filming on ‘Rust’ has been halted and an investigation into the October 21 incident is ongoing. No charges have been filed yet. 

  • BTS announce four in-person concerts in Los Angeles

    By PTI

    NEW DELHI: South Korean music sensation BTS will hold four in-person concerts in Los Angeles in November and December, the band’s label Big Hit Music announced on Tuesday.

    ‘BTS Permission To Dance On Stage’ will take place at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on November 27 and 28 and December 1 and 2.

    The event marks the first stage concert for the Grammy-nominated group since the ‘2019 BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself The Final’.

    The septet, comprising RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, also shared a video with their fan group, called ARMY, about the upcoming live event on their YouTube channel.

    “Hey ARMY, we are so excited to announce that later this year ‘BTS Permission To Dance On Stage’ will be held in LA,” group leader RM said in the clip.

    “We’ve been itching to tell you. I hope this news will make ARMY glad,” added Jungkook.

    The time for the group and fans to dance together without permission is nearing, said Jin.

    “Let’s have a fun time together,” he added.

    “We are working hard to compensate you for your long wait.

    So please look forward to it,” J-Hope said.

    “We purple you, ARMY! See you very soon!” promised V.

    On fan community online platform Weverse, Big Hit Music said they are able to hold the concert amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the US after “taking the national and regional health regulations and circumstances into consideration”.

    The label said they will do their very best “to bring you an all-new, phenomenal concert while keeping the health of the artists and fans our top priority”.

    Expressing regret over not being able to hold concerts in more areas, Big Hit said, “We will do our best to put on additional concerts for not only Korean fans but fans from all around the world who have been patiently waiting for a long time.”

    Ahead of the LA shows, BTS will also hold an online concert, ‘BTS Permission To Dance On Stage’ on October 24.

    Their ‘Map of the Soul’ live concert was eventually cancelled earlier this year after being postponed indefinitely from its February 2020 dates due to the pandemic.

    BTS, whose full name is Bangtan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boy Scouts), have remained connected with their fans around the world through many virtual shows like ‘BTS Map of the Soul ON:E, which was held last October, since the pandemic struck.

    More details about the LA concerts are available on Ticketmaster.

  • Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck spotted enjoying romantic date night in Los Angeles

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner in Los Angeles on Friday, and the two looked happier than ever.

    As per Fox News, Lopez arrived at Avra Beverly Hills, a Greek seafood restaurant, with Affleck in the same car. A driver in a Rolls-Royce dropped them off at the back entrance, but photographers captured the couple’s huge smiles.

    The ‘Hustlers’ star appeared to laugh while in the vehicle with her beau, according to photos obtained by Just Jared.

    For the outing, Lopez dressed up in a neutral colour palette with a cream coat over a white shirt and tan shorts. She completed her look with a pair of sky-high stilettos and a ponytail. Affleck wore a green button-down shirt with a matching belt along with black jeans and shoes to match his jacket.

    The ‘Argo’ director has been very happy since reuniting with Lopez, who he was engaged to from 2002 to 2004.

    “Jen and Ben have been all over each other and can’t seem to get enough — all day, every day,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “Their chemistry is off the charts.”

    The singer and Oscar winner reunited in April shortly after Lopez ended her engagement to athlete Alex Rodriguez, breaking off a four-year relationship. They quickly started traveling the country together with meet-ups in Montana, Miami, Malibu and more.

    Fans saw their chemistry when the two kissed for the cameras at a California birthday dinner for Lopez’s sister, Lynda Lopez, on June 13. In addition to Bennifer’s big lip lock, the party was also attended by J. Lo’s children, twins Maximillian and Emme, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

    Introducing a new romance to children is a big step for any single parent. Lopez was “reluctant to spring a new special someone in her life on them right away,” the insider told Us Weekly in May before the twins met Affleck before adding, “Eventually, you can count on her wanting her kids to meet Ben.”

    It seems the families are slowly but surely blending together. Another source said the singer and actor Jennifer Garner, with whom Affleck shares his three children, share mutual respect, with the ‘Alias’ alum giving Lopez her “seal of approval” in early June.

    “J. Lo thinks Jennifer is a kind and wonderful person and an amazing mother,” the insider told Us Weekly. “Ben is great with kids and that is what really rekindled J. Lo’s attraction to him.”

    Affleck and Lopez got engaged in 2002 and were infamously dubbed “Bennifer” in headlines. They postponed their wedding in 2003, just days before they were set to tie the knot. By 2004, the couple’s relationship was over.

    Before rekindling his romance with Lopez, Affleck was with actor Ana de Armas and split with her in January.

  • ‘Error in judgement’: ‘Die Hard’ actor Bruce Willis asked to exit LA store for refusing to wear mask

    By Online Desk
    WASHINGTON: American actor Bruce Willis was on Monday (local time) asked to leave a Rite Aid pharmacy in Los Angeles after he refused to wear a mask in the pharmacy premises.

    According to Page Six, the people inside the store got upset that the 65-year-old actor wasn’t wearing a mask despite the fact that he had a bandanna tied around his neck, which could have been used as a mask easily.

    The ‘Die Hard’ actor was photographed at the store without a mask and he was also asked to walk away without buying anything from the store.

    Clarifying his stance later, Willis in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE said that “it was an error in judgment,” and added that everyone should stay safe and “continue to mask up.”

    The Los Angeles County has become the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in California with the number of COVID-19 deaths passing 10,000.

    As per Page Six, Willis has spent most of the pandemic quarantining with his ex-wife Demi Moore and their children Scout, Rumer, and Tallulah at a home owned by the family in Idaho.
