Harrison Ford to appear in Jimmy Kimmel Live on Star World and Star World HD

MUMBAI: One of the most memorable and iconic action heroes of all time – Indiana Jones is all set to return with the fifth film from the popular franchise. Renowned actor Harrison Ford is once again all set to take on some new bad guys, reprising his role of Indiana Jones for the fifth time. On Jimmy Kimmel Live! the 48 year old actor got nostalgic and revealed the reason for taking on the role once again. Harrison Ford will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight at 11 pm.

The actor said, “I’ll be ready, I’m excited about this. It’s the opportunity to work with Steven Spielberg again on this character, a chance to revisit this character which has brought pleasure to so many. Not to mention me. It’s great fun to play this character, its great fun to work with Steven; I’m looking forward to it.”

Spielberg, 69, directed all four previous Indiana Jones films and will helm the new project, which is all set to hit theaters on July 19, 2019. Harrison will be 77-years-old when the movie is released! When asked about the idea for the film this time and if the producers have come up with something that he loved, he said, “I haven’t read the script. We’re talking about the contract!”

Earlier this year, Harrison thrilled all his audiences by revisiting the legendary role of Han Solo in Stars Wars: The Force Awakens. While many Star Wars fans were shocked and saddened with the doomed fate of his beloved character in the climax of The Force Awakens, Harrison Ford was more than happy to bid farewell to Han Solo.

“You work for, like, 25 years for the company, you do your best, you show up every day, you do your job, and then they just let you go. Shocking.” Ford, 73, said on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. However, Ford said he had been pushing for his character to die from the beginning. “I argued for 30 years for this to happen and finally I wore them down,” he added. When asked if the character of Han Solo would continue in the franchise or if his death was his final scene, Ford’s lips were sealed.

‘Unreal’ season 2 to take on gender and equality based issues

MUMBAI: Critics’ Choice Television Award winner Unreal will push the bar on equality and gender based issues, according to show runner Sarah Gertude Shapiro.

Unreal takes place behind the scenes of a fictional reality dating show, “Everlasting”.

The first season features Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer in leading roles as producer Rachel Goldberg and executive producer Quinn King respectively. They are joined by an ensemble cast which included Harry Potter alumni Freddie Stroma as Everlasting’s devastatingly charming suitor Adam Cromwell, Johanna Braddy, Josh Kelly and Jeffrey Bower-Chapman amongst others.

The second season which will be telecast in India on Star World is all set to tackle issues of race, gender and men’s rights. Featuring B.J Britt as the latest suitor, the show’s season two is already breaking the norm by doing what no dating reality show did – casting an African-American leading man.

Joining him will be veteran actor Bruce Davison who plays Randy, a cowboy musician from Quinn’s past, Christopher Cousins as Gary, the President of the channel that airs the fictional show and relative newcomer Lindsay Musil as Beth, a small town girl vying for Britt’s character.

Shapiro said: “The first season was really about the princess fantasy, and the power of this fantasy of being rescued. For both sides of the gender spectrum. or all sides of it, [there is] the idea that one person can show up and rescue you and change your whole life. And [in] the second season, we’re really exploring race and masculinity. And that is a big shift for us. It’s still Everlasting, but with a different suitor, and the suitor is going to be black, so [we’re] exploring the race politics of that.”

Shapiro said Season 2 will top all the reality TV tropes covered in Season 1, “I think race is a big way to top that. It’s the elephant in the room … the fact that those shows have never had an African-American lead. For us, I think you top that by pushing our universe into a place the real universe hasn’t gone.”

Unreal is created by Marti Noxon and Sarah Gertrude Shapiro, and was inspired by Shapiro’s award-winning independent short film Sequin Raze. The show has been awarded the Critics’ Choice Television Award for being the Most Exciting New Series and the American Film Institute Award for Top 10 Television programmes of 2015.

Unreal season 1 is currently being telecast on Star World and Star World HD. The show’s second season will be telecast on the channel following the US premiere.
