Back to the Future is considered to be one of the greatest time travel films ever made. Having become a hit in the mid-’80s, the sci–fi classic has been discovered by fresh eyes in the four decades since its release with each new wave of fans fascinated by its behind the scenes trivia.
Do you remember the first time you heard that Michael J. Fox wasn’t originally cast as Marty McFly? Do you recall how weird it was seeing footage of Mask star Eric Stolz as Marty, or finding out that the film would have been called Space Man from Pluto if producer Steven Spielberg hadn’t stepped in to stop studio exec Sid Sheinberg from changing the title? Did you know that Marty’s mentor Doc Brown was supposed to have a pet chimp instead of a dog called Einstein?

Festival Merger
The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles and The India Center Foundation, two non-profit organizations working with South Asian film in the U.S., have agreed to merge. Already long-time collaborators, Iffla and Icf will, among other things, work closely to incubate and launch an industry development program to showcase the next generation of South Asian talent to studios, funders and media executives.
“We saw an opportunity to scale our work nationally as one of the leading supporters of emerging creative talent in the diaspora. By joining forces with Iffla we can bring much needed resources to support the stories that need to be told in the media. Our stories,” said Priya Giri Desai, a co-founder of Icf.
“[Icf] have been a financial and creative partner to Iffla over numerous festivals already, which makes this a natural fit. I have no doubt that we can bring even greater impact together.

This year, Latvia is sharing a spotlight with neighboring Lithuania and Estonia at the European Film Market, which has dedicated its 2023 Country in Focus Spotlight to the Baltic nations. It’s a sign of the tremendous strides the country has taken to put itself on the world cinema map, with the screen industries both producing more films and TV series than ever before and luring increasingly ambitious international projects to Northeastern Europe.
Here’s a rundown of some of the top Latvian projects in the pipeline that their producers will be pitching in Berlin:
Blue Blood
Director: Juris Kursietis
Producers: White Picture, Stellar Film, Asterisk*
The follow-up to Kursietis’ Cannes Directors’ Fortnight player “Oleg” is the story of a successful couple whose comfortable life is turned upside-down when the husband is implicated in a massive corruption scandal.

Dead Man Logan #8 – #9 Writer: Ed Brisson | Artist: Mike Henderson | Colourist: Nolan Woodard | Letters: Cory Petit
There were a number of Wolverine one shots over the summer I was really looking forward too. Each in their own way were good and bad in places, but more on them later. The one consistent over the summer months for Wolverine comics has been Dead Man Logan. What is working in its favour is only being twelve issues we know the end is in the sight and we get to read along and enjoy the fun of getting there. That being said I don’t want Brisson’s time on Wolverine to end. He has certainly come a long way in my eyes since I tore his first Old Man Logan story arc to pieces! Having the story now take place in The Wastelands but being telling a completely fresh story is also a huge bonus.

Elton John is one of the biggest names in music, but of course, Elton John’s name wasn’t always Elton John. He was born Reginald Dwight, and the biopic “Rocketman” suggests that Dwight got his stage name from his bandmate Elton Dean and Beatles singer John Lennon.
Unfortunately, that’s not quite the case. In an interview for his CD box set “To Be Continued…” (1990), John explained where he got the idea for his stage name.
“I was in Bluesology, and we were coming back from a Long John Baldry gig somewhere, and we got a bus from London airport to London and someone said, ‘We’ve made it now, so what are you going to call yourself?'” he explained. “The saxophone player in the band was called Elton Dean, a very good jazz sax player, and the only other Elton I could think of was Elton Hayes,...

Mexico City — In what is already an extraordinary year for Mexican filmmaking, Piano, the Mexico City-based production-distribution house, has boarded “Memoria,” from Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul who dazzled the Cannes Festival in 2010 with Palme d-Or winner “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives.”
The move comes after Piano, founded by Julio Chavezmontes and Sebastián Hofmann, has also pacted to co-produce Mia Hansen-Løve’s “Bergman Island.” Coming in a year when Guillermo del Toro won the best picture Academy Award and Alfonso Cuarón the Venice Festival’s Golden Lion, Piano’s two co-production accords underscore another way that Mexican filmmakers are making an impact on the world stage – joining a highly select clutch of production houses who support the most robust and original directorial voices from around the globe.
That is far more than a commercial play for foreign markets. “We see ourselves as part of an international community of filmmakers that believes in openness,...

‘Jirga’
Benjamin Gilmour’s Afghanistan-set drama Jirga will carry Australia’s hopes of being nominated for this year’s Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
The international recognition as Australia’s official submission follows the film’s international premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and winning the $100,000 best film prize, Australia’s richest, at CinfestOZ.
Produced and distributed by John Maynard, the film stars Sam Smith as a former Australian soldier who returns to Afghanistan seeking forgiveness and puts his life in the hands of the village justice system – the Jirga.
There are 87 countries vying for the prize, including first-time entrants Malawi and Niger and high-profile contenders such as Mexico’s Roma and Poland’s Cold War, both of which are hoping to break out of the foreign race and earn nominations for best picture, best director and more.
Gilmour said: “We are thrilled about the honour of representing Australia.

A whopping 87 countries submitted entries in the Foreign-Language Film race at the 2019 Oscars. That is down by five from last year’s record 92 submissions but up by two from 2017, which had broken the benchmark of 83 set in 2015. The nations represented ranged from A (Afghanistan) to Y (Yemen). Among the contenders is the Mexican entry “Roma” by Oscar winner Alfonso Cuaron (“Gravity”). This Venice Film Festival winner is a strong contender in both this and the Best Picture race at the Oscars.
Predicting the eventual five Oscar nominees for Best Foreign-Language Film is made difficult by the two-step process.
First, the several hundred academy members of the Foreign-Language Film screening committee are required to watch a number of the submissions (upwards of a dozen) over a two-month period that ends in mid December. They will rate them from 6 to 10 and their top six vote-getters make it to the next round, as...

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences announced today that 87 countries have qualified for this year’s Foreign Language Film competition. With some of the
strongest entries in recent years this is shaping up as one of the richest fields of contenders in memory. Of course one of the Netflix titles, Mexico’s Roma from director Alfonso Cuaron has been widely acclaimed at numerous festivals and already won top prize at Venice which makes it the front runner here. It is also expected to be in contention for a Best Picture nomination as well as other categories and that could enhance its chances. However could an upset be in the offing? I would say there are a number of equally fine movies in the mix here including Japan’s Cannes Palme d’Or winner, Shoplifters; Denmark’s riveting The Guilty; Germany’s epic Never Look Away from previous Oscar winner...

While the episode ended with an ominous "To Be Continued" just as Carole and Bethenny's argument was getting really heated, Carole provided some insight in yet another Bravo blog, and while it's not as scathing as her previous one, it's still pretty clear that this friendship is about as dead as that guy who choked on a fritter at the Murder Mystery party. ...

KollywoodThis is a must-watch for fans of both actors - watch them take on Aravind Swamy and Arun Vijay, the villains in this video.Tnm StaffAjith and Vijay are undoubtedly among the biggest stars in the Tamil film industry today. Both actors have an enormous fanbase and although they share a friendly relationship with each other, their fans are forever at each other's throats. The release of every film is accompanied by trolling from the other camp. But what if Ajith and Vijay came together for a cop film? And even better, what if it also starred Arvind Swamy and Arun Vijay? With some slick editing by Gokul Venkat, this video put together by Gv Media Works (Gv Prakash) is titled Police 2. The video has scenes from Theri, Yennai Arindhal, Jilla and Thani Oruvan. The film has both Ajith and Vijay playing cops and one shot even has both of them together! This is sure to give fans from both camps goosebumps as they hit back at the goons. Arun Vijay and Aravind Swamy play the villains who are pitched against the two cops. The last sequence has Arun Vijay targeting Ajith and Vijay coming in to the latter's aid. The film ends with Arun Vijay running and the words 'To Be Continued' appearing on screen, even as he vows to take revenge. The video has garnered over 7 lakh hits and several users have appreciated the team's efforts to bring together two of Tamil Nadu's most loved stars. In 2017, both Ajith and Vijay had released a press statement asking fans not to indulge in abuse. However, their releases last year - Vivegam as well as Mersal and Bairavaa saw fans from either camp unleashing memes and negative reviews as soon as the films hit the screens. Watch:...

Having thought they would be getting a fifth season for the Jim Henson Company-produced science fiction series, they had ended season four on a cliffhanger. Now, they had to decide: should they do a quick re-write, or air the episode as written and let it stand as the show’s abbreviated finale?
