Chris Hemsworth to headline submarine thriller 'Subversion'
LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth has found his next acting project: a submarine thriller movie from Amazon MGM.
Titled "Subversion", the film will be directed by German filmmaker Patrick Vollrath from a script penned by Andrew Ferguson, according to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter.
The project has been described as a 'Die Hard' on a submarine style thriller.
It is backed by Lorenzo di Bonaventura of di Bonaventura Pictures banner.
In the movie, Hemsworth will essay the role of a once-promising Naval commander who is blackmailed by a cartel-like operation into piloting a dangerous submarine carrying illegal cargo across international waters.
"Thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, the man must outmaneuver blockades and navigate perilous threats both in and outside of the submarine," the official logline read.
Vollrath, who earlier directed short films such as "Everything Will Be Okay" and "The Jacket", made his feature directorial debut with "7500", featuring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a pilot stuck in his cockpit while his plane is hijacked.
Besides "Subversion", Hemsworth is working on another project with Amazon MGM Studios.
He will star in thriller movie "Crime 101" alongside Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Halle Berry and Monica Barbaro.
Hemsworth is also set to reprise his fan-favourite Marvel character Thor in the upcoming movie "Avengers: Doomsday."

Trump-Musk breakup: Late-night hosts mock feud with sharp jokes, from ‘Love Island' jabs to ‘World War Douche' digs
As the public feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk took over headlines, late-night talk show hosts wasted no time tearing into the drama. With sharp wit and signature sarcasm, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Michael Kosta each offered their take on the bizarre fallout between the U.S. President and the billionaire tech mogul. Jimmy Fallon, on The Tonight Show, compared the once-friendly duo to a crumbling reality show couple. 'Things have taken a shocking turn with one of the hottest couples on 'Love Island'. Of course, I am talking about Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Trump and Elon has been brutally attacking each other all day. Seriously their relationship went off a cliff faster than a self-driving Tesla. I'm not saying its bad but right now Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are like, "Guys, take it easy. This is getting out of hand." He added, 'Today, Trump posted on social media that he asked Elon to leave and Elon went crazy. Just so we're clear, Trump thinks everything Elon did before this was not crazy? I can't believe their relationship fell apart this fast. A week ago they were all over each other, like Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner at a Knicks Game.' Stephen Colbert, on The Late Show, described the feud as a "full-scale flame war" between 'the world's most famous besties.' Colbert quipped, 'A full scale flame war has broken out between the world's most famous besties - Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Here is where we stand. Musk spent all day yesterday slamming Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' to his 200 million followers on X. What's most impressive is that only half of those are his kids. Trump held his return fire until today in a press conference with German Chancellor. Trump's crack about the electric vehicle stung Elon so much that he wrote, 'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and Republic would be 51-49 in the Senate.' He added, "As soon as Trump was done meeting with the German Chancellor, he clapped back - "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went crazy!" "I'm sorry? Went crazy? Elon has always lived at the geographic centre of insanitude. He is not the Mayor of Crazytown, he is the Governor of 'Off-his-Medsylvania'," Colbert quipped. Michael Kosta of The Daily Show, was just as savage. 'There's been simmering tension between Trump and Musk — the leader of the free world and the breeder of the free world.' He dubbed the fallout 'World War Douche,' adding, 'I thought these two billionaires with the world's biggest egos would work it out amicably.' As Trump and Musk's bromance continues to unravel, it seems the only clear winners here are the late-night comedy writers.

Mindy Kaling On Her Acting Comeback: ‘I Would Like To…'
Last Updated: Actor Mindy Kaling joked about why she hadn't starred in shows like Never Have I Ever, where she was involved as an executive producer. Mindy Kaling is all set to make her acting comeback, and she would rather do it on her own terms. After a successful stint behind the scenes, the talented writer, actress, and producer is ready to switch gears to acting once more. The Office star confessed she missed being an actor in a recent chat. She also explained why she did not appear in series like Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls, despite being an executive producer for the shows. In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Mindy joked about why she hasn't starred in her shows. 'Never Have I Ever, a show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that — what's wrong with me? I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them, so maybe I'll wait," she said. Never Have I Ever was inspired by Kaling's own life in the US. After years of focusing on writing and producing, Mindy's eager to get back to acting. 'I miss it, and I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon," she revealed. Drawing from her experience on The Mindy Project, where she was both lead and creator, Kaling noted, 'It is unbelievably fun and it's so efficient. I would love to do that again." She's considering launching a new project in the next few years, where she can reprise her dual role as star and creator. 'That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again," she added. Mindy also reflected on her two-decade career in Hollywood, sharing her humble beginnings and her evolving definition of success. 'My idea of success keeps changing, and so I'm never happy, and that's the writer's disease," she admitted. On the work front, Mindy Kaling was part of the animated series Velma, where she voiced the titular character from the Scooby Doo franchise. Before that, she was seen on The Morning Show, where she portrayed a news anchor. First Published:
