'Mission Impossible 8': Tom Cruise goes on the run in London

Tom Cruise is back on set as Ethan Hunt and if first pictures from the set are any indication, there will be action plus a little bit of blood. Tom Cruise has started the shoot for the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise. A fan page of the actor on X shared a bunch of pictures and a video of Tom sprinting through the streets of London, with production underway. Tom Cruise shoots for Mission Impossible In the first picture, Tom is seen running in order to shoot a chase scene on the Westminster Bridge. He was dressed in a white shirt paired with a black coat. There was blood all over his shirt as he ran through the street. A second picture showed Tom smiling and talking with some of the crew in between the shots. Another still indicated a heavy military presence at the location with several armed forces standing by the iconic landmark in London. Meanwhile, the only video from shoot had Tom getting ready for the shot. With the clap, he is seen running fast towards the other side of the road. The film releases in 2025 now, as the release date was pushed for a year owing to the delay with the SAG-AFTRA strike. More details In what marks the eighth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Tom will be seen as Senior Field Agent Ethan Hunt. Part One was directed by Christopher McQuarrie and produced by Paramount Pictures. It also starred Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby and Simon Pegg among others. Part One released in July last year and faced stiff competition from Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer and Greta Gerwig's Barbie. Still, it managed to cross the $500 million mark at the global box office. An excerpt from the Hindustan Times review of the film added, “Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One could very possibly be the best offering of the season with its insane action and a beating heart. Not only does this seventh film in the hit franchise perfectly fit the Hollywood blockbuster template but also improves on it, gilds it to almost undeniable perfection.” Source: Hindustan Times

I have also received reports of Tehari-like foods being brought on board MV Abdullah.

Oscar-winning Oppenheimer finally premieres in Japan

Highly acclaimed movie Oppenheimer has gone on show in Japanese movie theaters, many months after its release elsewhere. The story of the architect of the atomic bomb is particularly sensitive in the country. "Oppenheimer," the winner of the Oscars Best Picture award, was finally shown in Japanese cinemas on Friday, where the subject of the creation of the atomic bomb remains a highly charged and emotional subject. Director Christopher Nolan's blockbuster hit the big screens in the United States and other countries in July at the same time as "Barbie" — prompting a viral phenomenon dubbed "Barbenheimer" by movie buffs. But while the famous doll's movie premiered in Japan in August, "Oppenheimer" has been conspicuously absent from the country's cinemas for months. Why was the release date so late? No official explanation was offered, fueling speculation that the film was too controversial to be shown in Japan, the only country to fall victim to the bomb conceived by J. Robert Oppenheimer. Some 140,000 people died in Hiroshima and 74,000 in Nagasaki when the United States dropped atomic bombs on the cities in 1945, days before the end of World War II. In a huge cinema in central Tokyo where Christopher Nolan's film was being screened on Friday, there was no trace of the usual promotional posters for such a global phenomenon. The movie, which had a budget of 100 million dollars, but grossed almost a billion at the box office, was advertised with only a small poster. The story of physicist Robert Oppenheimer garnered rave reviews and a multitude of awards, winning the most at the Oscars with seven statuettes. The accolades included best film, best director and best actor for Cillian Murphy, who played Oppenheimer. How was the film received in Japan? In Hiroshima, the city devastated by the first nuclear bomb, the movie's success generated mixed feelings. The city has been reborn into a vibrant metropolis of 1.2 million people, but the ruins of a domed building remain standing as a stark reminder of the horror. Kyoko Heya, president of Hiroshima's international film festival, told the AFP news agency after the Oscars ceremony that she found Nolan's film "very American-centric." "Is this really a movie that the people of Hiroshima can endure?" she said. However, upon reflection, Heya said she wants "a lot of people to see the movie." "I would like to see Hiroshima, Nagasaki and atomic weapons become topics of discussion thanks to this film," she said. In Japanese media, critics point out that the film does not show the damage caused by those bombs.

Taylor Swift joins world's richest on billionaire list

Taylor Swift has joined Elon Musk as ranking among the world's wealthiest people, according to a new rich list. The American pop star entered the Forbes World's Billionaires List for the first time with $1.1bn (£877m), along with Sam Altman, creator of the AI chatbot ChatGPT on $1bn (£800m). LVMH French luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault and his family topped the chart with an estimated $233bn (£185bn). Forbes said there were a record 2,781 billionaires for 2024. The figure is 141 more than last year and 26 more than the previous record set in 2021. Forbes added the elite were richer than ever - with a collective wealth of $14.2tn (£11.3tn). Singer-songwriter Swift entered the rich list after achieving megastar status. She stole the show at this year's Grammy Awards, becoming the first performer to win the prize for album of the year four times. Her album 1989 (Taylor's Version) was also the best-selling vinyl LP of last year. Swift's success is not just confined to the world of music. Her mere presence at American football games to watch her boyfriend Travis Kelce has been credited with raising NFL viewing figures. After Frenchman Mr Arnault and his family, Mr Musk, the owner of Tesla and X, formerly Twitter, is listed second, with an estimated net worth of $195bn (£155bn). He is followed in third by Amazon owner Jeff Bezos. Musk's riches are up 8% from last year but down on his net worth in November 2021, when he became the first person ever to be worth $300bn (£239bn). Also joining Forbes's list is basketball legend Magic Johnson with wealth of $1.2bn (£950m) and TV producer Dick Wolf, behind the US Law and Order and Chicago PD series, also on $1.2bn. Chase Peterson-Withorn, senior editor on wealth for Forbes, said it had been an "amazing" year for the world's richest people. "A record-breaking 14 centi-billionaires have 12-figure fortunes. Even during times of financial uncertainty for many, the super-rich continue to thrive," he added. The $100bn Club Forbes said the class of billionaires for 2024 were 255% richer than a decade ago, now worth $2tn (£1.59tn) in all, meaning just 0.5% of the world's 2,781 billionaires hold 14% of all billionaire wealth. Geographically, the US still has more billionaires than any other country, with a record 813 on the list. China remains second, followed by India. In the UK, hedge fund manager Michael Platt is the richest person, followed by part-owner of Manchester United Sir Jim Ratcliffe and inventor Sir James Dyson. Source: BBC
