Michelle Yeoh to lead The Surgeon, backed by John Wick producers

Reflecting on her working experience with Garfield, who also happens to be her ex, Stone revealed that she loved filming for the Marvel movie and went on to call it a 'special time' in her life. The two-time Oscar winner sat down for a conversation with Vogue, where she talked about how the people around her on the film sets made her experience on the movie better. Emma Stone talks about working with Andrew Garfield While in an interview with the media portal, Emma Stone claimed that she loved doing Spider-Man. The actress explained, "I mean, I really loved doing Spider-Man. I loved everyone I worked with. I met Andrew there. I met Sally Field and Marc Webb was wonderful. It was really a special time in my life." She further added, "The recurring theme is the people; more than kind of like the film itself, it's what sticks with me for so long. And so I have only, like, the fondest memories of this whole experience." However, the only complaint the Poor Things star had about the film was the press tours.

Timothée Chalamet returns to the big screen with Marty Supreme post Oscars snub; everything to know
After his 2024 Oscar snub for A Complete Unknown, where Timothée Chalamet earned his second Best Actor nomination for his turn as Bob Dylan (the first was in 2018 for Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name) — the actor is finally back on screen, and fans couldn't be happier. Timothée Chalamet in Marty Supreme A24 has just dropped the first trailer for Marty Supreme, Josh Safdie's 1950s-set sports dramedy that sees Chalamet swap guitar strings for ping pong paddles. The film follows Marty Mauser, a gifted but underestimated table tennis player determined to earn the respect he deserves. But this isn't just a sports flick — it's packed with scandal, glamour, and chaos, as Marty embarks on an affair with a silver screen siren (played by Gwyneth Paltrow) while navigating the cutthroat world of competitive ping pong. The all-star cast is as unexpected as the plot: Fran Drescher as Marty's mother, rapper Tyler, the Creator, magician Penn Jillette, Odessa A'zion, Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, and filmmaker Abel Ferrara all make appearances. Safdie, known for the anxiety-inducing brilliance of Uncut Gems, hasn't directed a solo feature in over a decade — so expectations are high. Chalamet even trained extensively to get his paddle skills on point. Cinematographer Darius Khondji revealed earlier this year that the actor 'wanted to be like a real [professional] ping pong player when he started shooting.' And the internet? They've already declared this a win. 'Shout out to Timmy for finding the only sport where could conceivably play a pro athlete,' joked one YouTube user. 'Yeah at this point i'm more than comfortable and confident in saying that timothée chalamet is the most exciting actor working today,' declared another. 'This looks good, but I had to go back during the casting to notice Tyler The Creator is part of the cast,' wrote one surprised fan. 'I didn't think a ping pong movie could look this intense but here we are,' said another. 'Was wondering if we'd ever get a Timothee chalamèt movie this year,' added one. And perhaps the most poetic of all: 'This trailer just served me life lessons via ping pong.' If the trailer is anything to go by, Marty Supreme is shaping up to be the kind of unexpected, slightly chaotic, and completely charming ride that only Timothée Chalamet — and a paddle — could deliver.

‘Devi Chowdhurani' teaser unveiled; a rebel's roar reaches Times Square
In a milestone moment for Indian cinema, the teaser of Devi Chowdhurani, an epic retelling of India's first female freedom fighter, lit up the iconic screens of Times Square on Independence Day 2025. This marks the first-ever Indian feature film teaser to be showcased at Times Square on the country's national day, amplifying its global resonance. Directed by National Award-winner Subhrajit Mitra, the magnum opus stars Prosenjit Chatterjee as rebel leader Bhavani Pathak and Srabanti Chatterjee as the legendary Devi Chowdhurani. The film, based on Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay's timeless classic, resurrects the forgotten story of the Sanyasi-Fakir rebellion while celebrating Bengal's indomitable spirit of resistance. The teaser, first released on August 13, has already drawn praise for its sweeping visuals, powerful storytelling, and unapologetically revolutionary tone. Its Times Square debut elevated the film into global conversations, bridging India's historical legacy with the world's most iconic urban stage. Backed by ADited Motion Pictures (USA/India) and LOK Arts Collective (UK/India), Devi Chowdhurani also holds the distinction of being the first Indian feature film to receive official Indo-UK co-production status. This recognition comes with the support of India's Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, NFDC, Film Facilitation Office, and Invest India. The creative team includes acclaimed composer Pandit Bickram Ghosh, whose music adds a stirring dimension to the narrative. Producers Aparna and Aniruddha Dasgupta (ADited) and Soumyajit Majumdar (LOK) expressed their pride in a joint statement, 'For the first time ever, an Indian story blazes across Times Square on Independence Day. Rooted in Bengal yet universal in spirit, Devi Chowdhurani is more than just a film — it is India's history meeting the world's most iconic cultural crossroads.' Lead actor Prosenjit Chatterjee echoed the sentiment, 'On our Independence Day, to see the story of Devi Chowdhurani on Times Square fills me with pride. This Indo-UK venture is our tribute to the courage and spirit of our people. Very soon the world will witness it.' Srabanti Chatterjee, who plays the titular role, called the moment 'extremely exciting,' adding, 'Showcasing the story of Bengal's Bandit Queen on Times Square during Independence Day is a dream. This is part of our forgotten history, and I am honored to bring it alive.' Slated for a worldwide release during Durga Puja 2025, the film promises not just a cinematic spectacle but a cultural awakening. As the teaser's final frames lit up New York's skyline, Devi Chowdhurani stood tall as both a cinematic triumph and a resurrection of history. This autumn, when the film storms theatres, audiences will not just watch a story — they will feel the heartbeat of a revolution that refuses to fade.
