    Talking about filming for About My Father during the pandemic and spending a special time with her costars, Cattrall said, “It’s great! You know we made this movie in 2021. Wow. That long ago! And it took a long time and it was a difficult film to make while COVID was raging in the South in Mobile, Alabama. So we kind of bonded together. So now when I see Leslie or I see Sebastian or Bob occasionally (laughs), he’s very busy and most of the actors are after that – before that and after that. But to see them again is just wonderful because we had that very special time together.”

    Talking about the audience’s reaction to About My Father, the Sex and the City actress added, “We saw it as an all out comedy but what’s surprising is that how many people have told me how touched they are by it.

  • Steven Caple Jr. reflects on Transformers’ impact on his life

    Steven Caple Jr. reflects on Transformers’ impact on his life

    Mumbai: The highly successful Transformers franchise aims to build upon its existing legacy with its upcoming release, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. While director Steven Caple Jr. already has grand plans for the future, he opens up about how the franchise has influenced him.

    Caple recalls how much he loved the original “Beast Wars: Transformers” animated series as a child. The show premiered when he was eight years old, and after watching each episode, he and his friends would meet up after school and try to wrap their heads around how different it was from other cartoons at the time.

    He said, “I remember thinking how weird it was, because they were trying something new with the animation, and Optimus Prime wasn’t in it. But as it went on, the storyline got really good. It had a lot of heart and a bunch of twists and turns, so I stuck around for all three seasons.”

    Returning with the action and spectacle that’s captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on the ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new faction of Transformers – the Maximals – joining them as allies in the epic battle for earth.

    Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, the film arrives in theatres on 9 June 2023, in English, Hindi, Tamil & Telugu in 2D, 3D, 4D, and IMAX.
