First look at Martin Scorsese's documentary Mr. Scorsese teases untold Taxi Driver drama: ‘You got to help me…'
Martin Scorsese may have just made his Emmy OTT debut with Seth Rogen's The Studio, but he's clearly not done exploring. The legendary director has now revealed Mr. Scorsese, a five-part documentary that takes viewers deep into his personal and professional life. Martin Scorsese Promising 'unrestricted access to Scorsese's private archives,' the series is stacked with interviews from some of the biggest names he's worked with, including Cate Blanchett, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Mick Jagger, Margot Robbie, Thelma Schoonmaker, Paul Schrader, Steven Spielberg, Sharon Stone — and Scorsese himself. Mr. Scorsese premieres on October 17 on Apple TV+. The first trailer has already made waves, thanks to a candid — and previously untold — story from Spielberg. In it, he recalls a panicked phone call from Scorsese during the making of Taxi Driver. 'You got to help me,' Scorsese told him. 'They want me to cut out all the blood.' The filmmaker even threatened to buy a gun if the studio tried to hold his rough cuts hostage — though, as Spielberg notes, it was only a threat.

The filmmaker even threatened to buy a gun if the studio tried to hold his rough cuts hostage—though, as Spielberg notes, it was only a threat. Naturally, the internet lit up with reactions. 'Scorsese documenting Scorsese? That's like letting the wolf tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Can't wait,' one X user joked. Another said, 'Can't wait to dive deep into the legend's mind..' A third was quick to add it to their watchlist: 'ooh lala. I'm adding this to my to watch list.' One fan compared the lineup of guests to a superhero crossover: 'Marty assembling Spielberg, De Niro, Leo, and Thelma like it's the Avengers of filmmaking.' Another simply gushed, 'Could not possibly be more excited for this.' And in a comment that sums up just how much fans revere him, someone wrote, 'We need to fund every project every relative of his has. Anything to keep him going. Surely a second cousin has a spec script.' Directed by Rebecca Miller—best known for Arthur Miller: Writer, her 2017 documentary on her Pulitzer Prize–winning father—the project is already being called a filmmaker's dream. 'This project is a filmmaker's dream, to have had such access to legends of the industry, from Marty himself to his prolific collaborator,' Miller said in a statement. 'I was honored he trusted me to create this documentary, which I believe will resonate with everyone from dedicated Scorsese fans to anyone who has grappled with failure and reached for the stars. I'm excited to share a sneak peek of Mr. Scorsese, which includes the true version of a mythic, never-before-told story about Taxi Driver, and how thanks to Marty's perseverance and dedication to his art, the film retained its integrity and went on to become one of the most culturally significant films of all time.' If the trailer is anything to go by, Mr. Scorsese won't just revisit his storied career—it'll reveal the grit, defiance, and creative conviction that shaped some of cinema's most iconic moments.

Shwetha Menon becomes 1st woman President of Malayalam film body, says 'don't expect miracles'
In a landmark moment for the Malayalam film industry, actor Shwetha Menon has been elected as the first woman president of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artistes (AMMA). Her victory follows a year of turmoil after the resignation of the Mohanlal-led committee in August 2024, which stepped down in the wake of the explosive Hema Committee report that exposed widespread issues including sexual misconduct and pay disparity within the industry. Reacting to her election, Menon stated, 'I haven't planned anything. I am just waiting for the first meeting to happen. I don't have an agenda. I do have my personal plan, but I need to discuss this because this is a very serious matter. And though it's 506 people, for me it's a big family and I need to keep everyone together. ' She added, "As a woman, I feel we are multitaskers and to do this I think it's not going to be that difficult. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I am able to do something really good and I'm looking forward to it. But it's going to be baby steps — please don't expect miracles, but yes, we will be doing something for a change." Lakshmi Priya was elected Vice President, with Kukku Parameshwaran and Ansiba Hasan as Joint Secretary and General Secretary respectively. Unni Shivapal won the position of Treasurer. Menon's win comes during what is being described as the most controversial election in AMMA's history, marred by personal disputes and legal battles. Of the organisation's 506 eligible members, only 298 cast their votes, a significant drop from the 70 per cent polling rate in the previous election to just 58 per cent this year. Notably absent from the voting process were major stars such as Mammootty, Fahadh Faasil, Nivin Pauly, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Asif Ali.

Coolie (Hindi) Day 2 Box Office: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film jumps to Rs 6.50 crore on Independence Day
The Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj-led Coolie has seen a 50 percent jump in collections on the second day as early trends indicate Independence Day business in the range of Rs 6.25 crore to Rs 6.75 crore. With this, the two-day total of Coolie stands at Rs 10.75 crore, and the film will be looking at an extended opening weekend in the range of Rs 20.00 crore. The Independence Day jump should have been bigger, but the reports are probably mixed, curtailing the chances of a big number. At one point of time through the advance sales cycle based on the trends, Coolie looking like a Rs 6.50 crore opener, but the film settled with a first day of Rs 4.25 crore. The film is doing well in single screens and will probably be the second highest-grossing Tamil Film in Hindi by the end of its run, which is good for optics, but the success tag would depend on the business it does post Monday. The film has faced competition with War 2 in Hindi, and could have done better without the opponent, as both the films catered largely to the masses. Coolie is continuing to do well in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and even Andhra Pradesh/Telangana on the second day, though some early cracks are visible on the second day in international markets. The Independence Day holiday has helped Coolie, though the jump had the scope to be higher given that the film has seen a release on about 1400 screens in North India. Here's a look at day-wise box office of Coolie Thursday: Rs 4.25 crore Friday: Rs 6.50 crore (Estimates) Total: Rs 10.75 crore Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!
