Audience chatter, phone use ruin experience: Why Martin Scorsese stopped going to theatres
Noted filmmaker Martin Scorsese has stopped going to the theatres. After directing over 20 films, the revered director has shared that he has not been able to concentrate at the theatres as he is too angered and distracted by the conversations and smartphone activity around him. The 82-year-old director, who last helmed Killers of the Flower Moon, spoke about this in conversation with US film critic Peter Travers for his blog The Travers Take. "I asked the maestro why he doesn't see movies in theatres any more and he went all raging bull about audiences who babble on phones during the movie, leave to order snacks and vats of soda, and keep up a noise level loud enough to drown out the actors," Travers wrote. When he pointed out that as kids, they too would have had loud conversations in theatres, Scorsese said, "Yeah, maybe. But when we talked it was always about the movie and the fun we had chewing over the details." Up next, Scorsese has multiple projects in the works including a crime drama, starring Dwayne Johnson in lead and set in Hawaii. He also has a Pope Francis documentary in development. The leader of the Catholic Church was 88 when he passed away on April 21. He had recently served as an executive producer on Neeraj Ghaywan's sophomore feature Homebound, starring Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa, and Janhvi Kapoor. The film made its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival and received critical acclaim with a nine-minute standing ovation.

Sonakshi Sinha On Her Dream Role With Hubby Zaheer Iqbal: ‘Two Of Us As Villains…'
Last Updated: Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal shared screen space in the 2022 film Double XL, which also starred Huma Qureshi. Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha has come a long way in her career. Having made her acting debut with the action film Dabangg opposite Salman Khan in 2010, she has portrayed her acting skills in a number of films including Lootera, Akira, Ittefaq, as well as web series such as Dahaad and Heeramandi. In Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heeramandi, the actress portrayed a dark and negative character for the first time. She garnered immense praise for the performance. Now, in a recent interview, Sonakshi said that she is glad filmmakers are thinking out-of-the-box, and exploring more unique ways to present her as an actor. She also said that she wants to play a villain, along with her hubby Zaheer Iqbal, with both of them pitted against everyone. Sonakshi is pleased that filmmakers now perceive her in a different way. She told Bombay Times, 'I am glad that directors have started thinking out of the box in terms of presenting me as an actor, and I am grateful for that. As a creative person, I go for stories, roles and ideas that really stir something in me." Sonakshi also expressed her wish to share screen space with her husband, Zaheer Iqbal. The couple previously worked together in the 2022 film 'Double XL'. Although they are eager to collaborate on another project, they have a unique concept in mind for it. Zaheer says, 'Sonakshi and I should both play negative roles." Sonakshi added, 'Yes, the two of us as villains pitted against everyone." Zaheer said that he loves watching Sonakshi in negative roles. He admired her performance as the scheming Mallikajaan in Heeramandi. Zaheer commented, 'I love seeing Sonakshi in negative roles, especially in a series like Heeramandi. I think she looks damn cool. Also, she has an eye for those characters. In real life, though, I can't be serious with her. If she looks at me angrily, I break into laughter." In other news, Sonakshi Sinha is currently down with viral fever. Yesterday, Zaheer shared a video on Instagram in which she is seen in an unglamorous moment, battling a bout of viral fever. Zaheer captured the moment with a hilarious twist, and captioned it with a witty line: 'This girl has gone viral!" First Published:

Sarandos revealed, 'Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The CEO added, 'Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production.' 'He built these enormous, practical sets that we shot on. There was something beautifully old-fashioned about every element of the production. And he was so proud of it. I was so proud of him. To me, Heeramandi is a true reflection of India's deep, enduring love for cinema,' Sarandos added. Sonakshi Sinha on Heeramandi Heeramandi has completed one year, and I can only think about how time flies fast! I was beyond thrilled when I played Fareedan and Rehana Jahan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's grand vision. Bringing them to life was an unforgettable & unique experience, something that I will always cherish. I'm also filled with gratitude that the viewers poured so much love towards Fareedan, and I'm happy I could justify the roles. The characters and the series have come a long way. Both roles were deeply appreciated and accepted, and what more can one want as an actor
