30 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2016 DT Showtime DiCaprio to produce Captain Planet movie • Showtime Desk Apparently, Leonardo DiCaprio is ardent to see the 1990s cartoon series, Captain Planet, on big screen. Appian Way, the production company of the Oscar winner and environmental advocate, is reportedly teaming up with Paramount to resurrect the blue-skinned hero who struck fear into the hearts of environmental polluters everywhere. Paramount is in talks for the rights to the 1990s cartoon series, and is reportedly eyeing screenwriter Jono Matt and Scream Queens star Glenn Powell to write the flick, the Hollywood Reporter reported. If everything goes well, DiCaprio will produce the project. The Captain Planet and the Planeteers TV show aired from September 1990 to December 1992, and told the story of five youths from across the globe who were sent magic rings, four of them with the power to control an element of nature and one controlling heart. The movie could be an ideal fit for environmentalist DiCaprio who, through his foundation, which he set up in 1998, has pledged millions to environmental groups over the years. • World premiere of Bangladeshi short film in Brazil Ash-Ranbir’s romance censored • Showtime Desk Bangladeshi short film 20 Continuous Shots Followed by Siddharth, written and directed by Abid Hossain Khan, and produced by Khona Talkies, has been selected for the International Competition of the 26th edition of Curta Cinema Festival, one of the top film festivals of the world solely dedicated to short films. The film will have its world premiere at the festival. Also known as Rio de Janeiro International Short Film Festival, the Curta Cinema Festival will be held from November 3 to 9, 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Abid Hossain Khan’s debut short film, 20 Continuous Shots Followed by Siddharth, is an experimental film about a young man named Siddhartha, who starts living in a slum finding the meaning of his existence in life. He sees the grey livelihood flowing like a sewer, juxtaposed with sounds of newsreel commentary, political speech, religious sermon, etc while those sounds seem more visible in 20 repeated and morbid shots followed by Siddhartha. Abid Hossain Khan acted as the main protagonist of the film. Mohammad Raju is the editor and Dibbyo Samadder is the director of photography. Furthermore, Abid has just finished shooting his second short film produced by Khona Talkies.. • • Showtime Desk After getting into the Indo-Pak controversy, where a political outfit demanded a ban on one of the film’s actors Fawad Khan, it’s now the Pahlaj Nihalani-led CBFC’s (popularly called as the Censor Board) turn to trample over Johar’s romantic drama, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. According to a report, the intimate scenes between Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s characters have been snipped off by the Board. A glimpse of the couple’s sensual chemistry could be seen in the ‘Bulleya’ song, but it seems that viewers won’t get to see any of it, once the film opens in theatres on October 28. A source was quoted that Karan Johar wanted to make sure not a single moment was tampered with. However, the Censor Board members, while appreciating the film’s mature theme and high level of aesthetics, objected to some steamy moments between Aishwarya and Ranbir Kapoor. The source further told the paper that Johar put up a tough fight but the CBFC members would have none of it. Finally, the director relented and agreed to delete 3 intimate scenes between Ranbir and Aishwarya, one of which is the same as shown in the trailer. Johar did have the option to go to the Revising Committee, which may have passed the film without any cuts, but from what it appears, he chose not to do so.•
CheckMate: Showtime No one has to fight breast cancer alone Colours FM joins the fight 31 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2016 WHAT TO WATCH DT • Showtime Desk LOOK for changes. Is there any change in shape or texture? TOUCH your breasts. Can you feel anything unusual? CHECK anything unusual with your doctor October is regarded as the Breast Cancer Awareness month, marked in countries across the world, it helps to increase attention and support for cancer awareness, early detection, and treatment, as well as palliative care of this disease. In Bangladesh, Colours FM 101.6 in association with Bangladesh Cancer Society, initiated a social media campaign named CheckMate. Breast cancer is a group of cancer cells (malignant tumour) that starts in the cells of breasts. Currently, there is not sufficient knowledge on the causes of breast cancer; therefore, early detection of the disease remains the cornerstone of breast cancer control. When breast cancer is detected early, and if adequate diagnosis and treatment are available, there is a good chance that breast cancer can be cured. If detected late, however, curative treatment is often no longer an option. In such cases, palliative care to relief the suffering of patients and their families is needed. Through the CheckMate campaign, the concerns are trying to create awareness not only amongst women, but also men.
