So much has been said about this famous director’s next film. What is he working on, who will he be working with and all that? Now, it’s funny that there’s just so much news about this.
It could be normal or…It could be that they are testing the waters just to see people’s reactions. If you remember, not too long ago this filmmaker was called out in the #MeToo movement for his unwanted advancements toward an assistant, who worked on his sets.
This filmmaker is not working on this biopic by himself, he has been chosen to work on this biopic. Isn’t that something?!

A major movie about a leading sports person has just been announced. The film is said to be produced by a big-ticket studio and is rumoured to be directed by a blockbuster filmmaker. While the film has ‘superhit’ written all over it, thanks to its overriding theme, it has already run into a spot of trouble.
One of the subject’s sons has sent a legal notice to the studio saying he has not given the rights to the film, and only his sibling has. Oh well, these matters have a remarkable way out settling out of court.
