Project Indywood, an ambitious initiative to unite the stakeholders in Indian film industry under one roof, has been receiving tremendous support from leading NRI industrialists and business houses in the Middle East.
Ten billion US dollar project Indywood, spearheaded by Hollywood director Sohan Roy, aims at elevating Indian film industry to global standards in the next five years through a consortium of 2000 Indian billionaires and corporates.
Bowled over by the vision of Project Indywood, NRI tycoon B. R. Shetty has expressed his interest to set up India’s top notch multiplex at Udupi, Karnataka, possibly with the first 8K screen of the country. Abu Dhabi-based NMC Group founder and UAE Exchange chairman B.R Shetty announced this in an exclusive interview to Indywood TV, the 24/7 entertainment channel in English under Project Indywood with special focus on movie centric programs and shows.

“As part of supporting Project Indywood’s vision to upgrade Indian Film Industry and as a gift to my home town people, I wish to set up a swanky multiplex with state-of-the art facilities at Udupi. Because I want to ensure that people should enjoy my Rs. 10 billion Mahabharata movie and similar projects with utmost perfection and quality,” said Shetty.
Project Indywood founder and director Sohan Roy said that the support of NRI industrialist and visionary B. R. Shetty boosts morale and it will motivate the entire Indywood team to contribute more on uplifting Indian film industry. “We are in discussions with top Indian industrialists and business houses in Middle East, India, Singapore and Europe. Many of them have expressed their interest to invest in Indywood consortium,” he said.
The Rs. 700 billion Project Indywood aims at initiating 10,000 new 4K projection multiplex screens, 100,000 2K/4K projection home cinemas, 8K/4K film studios, 100 animation/VFX studios and film schools conforming to international standards.

“Indywood means Unified Indian film industry and we are planning to expand our operations across the country by the end of 2018. Indywood’s vision is that big budget movies should generate Rs. 20 billion from Indian market alone in future. We have proved that people will rush back to theatres to make it happen if we deliver quality products on high-quality screens,” said the Oscar qualified filmmaker and Forbes listed billionaire, Sohan Roy.

As Marvel gears up to thrust some of its prominent superheroes back in the mix with the launch of new comic series Marvel Legacy, here’s another forgotten Marvel character getting its moment under the sun!
Jean Grey, a pre-eminent mutant from the X-Men franchise, is purportedly being defibrillated for the upcoming five-part Phoenix Resurrection comic series.
The ‘Red Dark Phoenix’ looked to be consigned to the pages of history books as Grey ceased to appear in any of the Marvel comics in the last 13 years. But now, like many other characters from the franchise, she too revives her character arc and is set to hog the comic pages once again.
“Jean will have a startling new role after this, and you are left wondering, ‘How will the rest of the X-Men respond? What will happen to Young Grey?’” said Marvel senior editor Mark Paniccia.
Whilst there are a lot more questions revolving now that Grey’s return is confirmed, this might just be the harbinger of a new era in the X-Men franchise.
Written by Matthew Rosenberg, Phoenix Resurrection will hit the stands on 27 December 2017.

Technicolor has signed an agreement with Academy Award winning SimEx-Iwerks Entertainment which is a leading innovator and designer of immersive 3D and 4D attractions. It plans to create a 4D theatrical experience based on the underwater adventure series The Deep, that will premiere at landmark venues globally starting in Spring 2018.
The new 4D theatrical event, The Deep: Mystery of the Ancient Amulet, will provide a 12 minute fully immersive 3D viewing experience, featuring exclusive new 3D CG animation, an original story line, and stunning special effects. It will be delivering on the 4D experience with vibrating seats, water spraying, bubbles and more. The in-theater experience will be available at zoos, theme parks, aquariums and other venues around the world.
The Deep: Mystery of The Ancient Amulet follows the continuing underwater adventures of the Nekton family—a brilliant team of underwater explorers with an unquenchable thirst for discovery who utilise state-of-the-art technology to explore the mysterious depths of the oceans. When the family comes into possession of a mysterious amulet from a suspicious black market dealer, they begin their ocean journey in search of answers, but the amulet is stolen by The Dark Orca pirates, and is then lost in caverns beneath the seafloor. When the Nektons finally recover the amulet, they discover its unbelievable connection to a nearby island.
Steven Wendland (Technicolor creative development VP, animation and creative head) is the creative lead for the episode, serving as director and executive producer.
“SimEx-Iwerks Entertainment is unparalleled in its field and we are thrilled to be creating this 4-D The Deep adventure with them,” commented Wendland. “Now that The Deep is broadcast in over 130 territories, it’s exciting to see the brand finding a new home in theme parks and other live attractions around the world.”
The Deep is based on the Aurealis award winning graphic novel series created by comic book author and playwright Tom Taylor (All New Wolverine, Earth 2, Superior Iron Man, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Star Wars: Blood Ties), illustrated by James Brouwer (Justice League Beyond), and published by Gestalt Comics. Taylor serves as co-creator and lead writer of the series and Brouwer serves as co-creator and art director.

Two top content executives from Snap will deliver a keynote speech at MIPCOM 2017 to outline how the camera company is making new inroads into content creation for mobile.
Snap VP of content Nick Bell and senior director of content programming Sean Mills will discuss the company’s growing slate of Snapchat shows and the future of made-for-mobile video content, on 17 October.
The world’s leading entertainment content market, MIPCOM takes place in Cannes, France, from 16 to 19 October, and this year takes as its over-arching conference theme- The Global Race For Creative Connections.
Snapchat has built a reputation as the go-to app for millennials, representing a new, mobile-first direction for digital media. As of this summer, it has more than 173 million daily active users. At MIPCOM, Bell and Mills will walk through how Snap approaches partnerships with legacy media companies, TV networks, film studios and independent producers, and how to produce for vertical video. They will also explore how mobile content can complement traditional linear programming, and the types of genres they are hoping to expand into – from scripted shows to horror, documentary and animated series.
Bell, who joined Snap in April 2014, was formerly senior VP of digital products at News Corp. His business career began at an early age, selling his first company Teenfront.com at the age of 16. He subsequently built a number of successful start-ups in the B2B and B2C space.
Mills, who joined Snapchat in April 2015 was previously president of NowThis News, where he reinvented the brand, increasing viewership from 150 thousand to 60 million in one year. He was also the president of The Onion, where he grew the company to one of the largest comedy brands in the US.
The Snapchat pair’s MIPCOM address is one of several keynotes featuring major players in the mobile and social media space at the 2017 content trade event. Movistar+ original programming head Domingo Corral, and Facebook global creative strategy head Ricky Van Veen along with the social platform’s video product director Daniel Danker will also be delivering keynote speeches at MIPCOM 2017.
