  • Star Movies Select HD to air ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’

    MUMBAI: James Bobin’s box-office hit ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’, featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood, is set to make its Indian Television debut on 24 June 2017 at 9pm on Star Movies Select HD.

    What happens when you put Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and Helena Bonham Carter in one frame? Simple, Magic! That’s exactly what you get in Disney’s fantasy film Alice Through the Looking Glass. The movie is a spin-off on the books written by Lewis Carroll that captured the imagination of children around the world. Director Bobin also brings his unique vision and twist to the magical world that Tim Burton created on screen in 2010, with Alice in Wonderland. If fantasy is what you’re looking for, then this movie is definitely one to catch.

    Alice Through the Looking Glass is centered around Alice’s (Mia Wasikowska) journey back to the magical world of ‘Underland’. The plot revolves around her attempts to save the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) in Underland, and her relationship with her mother in the real world. The 1 hour 53 minute journey transports the audience to an unpredictable, yet magical, world that promises constant entertainment.

    “I think on a bigger scale, the parallels in the story are Alice and her mother and the Hatter and his father,” Bobin commented. “To me, the film is about intergenerational conflict to a degree. Alice really represents a new generation of women at the time.”

    A crisp movie with spectacular special effects, Alice Through the looking glass is one that the whole family can enjoy. An added bonus is the several great life lessons for the kids that this movie brings to the fore.

    Is Alice able to save the Mad Hatter? Why is he in trouble? Is Alice able to overcome Time? What comes of the Red and the White Queen?

  • Benedict Cumberbatch exits Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Crimson Peak’

    Benedict Cumberbatch exits Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Crimson Peak’

    MUMBAI: Benedict Cumberbatch has exited Crimson Peak, the Legendary screamer being directed by Guillermo del Toro.

     

    The reason for his departure is unknown, although sources claim his exit is not due to another project.

     

    Charlie Hunnam, Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska remain on board to star in the four-hander gothic horror story that centers on a woman who discovers that her husband might not be who he appears to be.

     

    Peak is scheduled to shoot in January, and the exit at this early stage gives del Toro plenty of time to find a replacement. The filmmaker has already shown he can roll with the punches when he quickly cast Wasikowska after Emma Stone fell off the movie.

     

    Cumberbatch is entering a busy period where many of his completed films will hit screens. Dreamworks’ The Fifth Estate kicks off the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Fox Searchlight’s 12 Years a Slave opens on 18 October, while the all-star August: Osage County opens this Christmas.

     

    He is also voicing the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and is in preproduction on The Imitation Game, in which he will portray gay cryptographer Alan Turing.
