Martin Scorsese, Leonardo DiCaprio to produce Carthage Must Be Destroyed
In the action thriller, a stranger happens upon a rust-belt city in decline, ruled by its criminal underworld. He uses brain and brawn to sow distrust and create chaos to dismantle the corrupt power structure, reported Deadline.
Verdi Productions and Ketchup Entertainment are financing, and casting is underway for an October production start in Rhode Island.
Scorsese and DiCaprio are executive producers; Verdi, West, Donnelly, Michelle Verdi, Chad Verdi Jr., Paul Luba, and Jennifer Davisson are producers. Lisa Frechette and Sera Verdi are also executive producers. The production companies are Sikelia Productions, Appian Way Productions, Verdi Productions, and Ketchup Entertainment, as per the outlet.
Verdi Productions president Chad A. Verdi called the film "a dynamic project," and they all sparked the idea to "bring Ted's outstanding screenplay to the big screen. Collaborating with Marty, Leo, Jen, Gareth, and Chris is a pleasure. Our extraordinary production team will elevate this project to new heights," according to Deadline.
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are an American director-actor collaborative duo who have made six feature films and one short film together since 2002. In 1999, Scorsese produced a documentary on Italian filmmakers titled Il Mio Viaggio in Italia, also known as My Voyage to Italy.
The documentary foreshadowed the director's next project, the epic Gangs of New York (2002), which was influenced by (amongst many others) major Italian directors such as Luchino Visconti and filmed entirely at Rome's famous Cinecitta film studios.
After Gangs of New York, the duo worked on the 2004 biopic The Aviator, with DiCaprio starring as aviation pioneer and filmmaker Howard Hughes. (ANI)

James Bond 007 logo designer Joe Caroff passes away at 103
Washington DC [US], August 18 (ANI): Joe Caroff, the graphic designer who created classic works such as James Bond's 007 gun logo, posters for West Side Story and A Hard Day's Night, and typography for Last Tango in Paris, Manhattan, and Rollerball, died on August 17. He was 103 years old, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Caroff died in hospice care at his home in Manhattan, his sons, Peter and Michael Caroff, told The New York also created the opening title sequences for films like Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far (1977), Volker Schlondorff's Death of a Salesman (1985), Gene Saks' Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986), and Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), which revealed a crown of portfolio of posters included Woody Allen films as well as Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad (1963), A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), Too Late the Hero (1970), Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (1970), Cabaret (1972), An Unmarried Woman (1978) and Gandhi (1982), as per the outlet. For his first film assignment, he worked on over 300 campaigns throughout his career — United Artists executive David Chasman hired him to design the poster for West Side Story (1961), then asked him to come up with the letterhead for a publicity release tied to the first Bond film, Dr. No. (Chasman had designed the poster for the 1962 movie.), according to The Hollywood Reporter. 'He said, 'I need a little decorative thing on top,'" Caroff recalled in 2021. 'I knew Bond's designation was 007, and when I wrote the stem of the seven, I thought, 'That looks like the handle of a gun to me.' It was very spontaneous, no effort, it was an instant piece of creativity."Inspired by Ian Fleming's favourite gun, a Walther PPK, Caroff attached a barrel and trigger to the 007 and, for his work, received USD 300, the going rate for such an assignment, he said. Even though the logo, though altered in subtle ways, has been featured on every Bond film and millions of pieces of merchandise, he received no credit, no residuals, no royalties, as per The Hollywood Reporter. The logo did, however, bring him 'a lot of business," he said. 'It was like a little publicity piece for me."Joseph Caroff was born on August 18, 1921, in Linden, New Jersey. He had four older sisters and a younger brother. His father, Julius, was a painter who 'could make a plaster wall look like a wood wall … it wasn't as if he just painted it, he rendered it," he retired in 2006 at age 86 to concentrate on addition to his sons, survivors include his daughters-in-law, Ruth and Cynthia, and his granddaughter, Jennifer. After decades of being ignored by Bond producers, Caroff received an Omega watch with an 007 engraving from Barbara Broccoli, Michael G. Wilson and EON Productions as a 100th birthday gift, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)

Indian Man, Married To US Woman, Gives Hilarious Take On Love Vs Arranged Marriage
A video of an Indian man's witty reply on love versus arranged marriage with an American wife has gone viral, highlighting the differences between Indian and American perspectives on marriage. The video was shared on Instagram by the couple, Deepak and Hannah, with the caption, "It was definitely an arranged marriage." Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deepak and Hannah (@deepakandhannah) In the video, the couple can be seen discussing the unusual questions they often face after getting married to each other. Deepak asked his wife, "What's the weirdest thing people ask you after getting married to me?" Hannah said social media users often ask, "If I have a sister for them to marry." She also said that users are interested in babies. She then asked Deepak the same question. He replied jokingly that people ask whether their marriage was an arranged or a love marriage. He said, "How can it be possible? Like my parents went to Michigan, America, to find a woman for me? Of course, it is a love marriage, guys." Arranged marriages are common in India, with parents playing a vital role in selecting partners based on factors like family background, income and social standing. Meanwhile, American culture focuses on individual choice, with people often selecting partners based on personal compatibility and love. The post also suggests that the couple likely faced challenges navigating these cultural differences, but their experience may also have brought benefits. Here's how social media users reacted "Sisters hahah get it all the time too!!! You're so cute, guys." one user wrote. "I get it though. My kids are half Indian and they are bloody adorable...... just saying," another said. "Agree with the asking to set up with family members or anyone from US. Those are such strange messages to receive. We like to joke our marriage was self arranged," a third added.
