Reliance ADAG’s Big Home Video to distribute Warner Home Video

July 31st, 2008

Just recently I posted about Reliance ADAG’s interest in forming a new production house with Steven Spielberg, and then this news comes out, that Big Home Video, one of Reliance ADAG’s entertainment company has signed with Warner Home Video to become the exclusive licensee in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. This means that Reliance is seriously entering the entertainment business with all the happenings. They have already launched a movie rental website, BigFlicks which means that even the Warner movies could be on the rental distribution too. Warner is a well known production house with a large number of big movies like Superman, Batman, Harry Potter, The Matrix Series, Ocean’s 11and many more.

Reliance ADAG to form new DreamWorks?

July 29th, 2008

Yes you read that correct, from a casual browsing of some movie related news I landed upon a news that caught my eye. India’s Reliance ADAG or Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group was in talks with DreamWorks to form a new studio with the DreamWorks’ co-founder Steven Spielberg. Spielberg founded DreamWorks in 1994. Since Paramount now owns DreamWorks, Reliance and Mr. Spielberg will form a new studio, IF the deal does work out. According to the various sites which carried the news, the new group will get most of its money from Reliance ADAG. Its ofcourse a great event in the history of film making becaue the biggest filmmaker in Hollywood would be teaming up with the biggest company in India. Reliance ADAG is already involved in the entertainment business with Adlabs, Big 92.7 fm and BigFlicks to name a few. And the teaming up with Steven Spielberg will do wonders, as both Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks need no introduction. They have made some well known movies like Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, War of the Worlds and Transformers to name a few. So if the things work out, the upcoming Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen could well be under the new group.

Max Payne Trailer Preview

July 17th, 2008

Now every gamer knows Max Payne, he doesn’t need any introduction. But not everyone of these gamers know that there is a movie coming out based on our favorite game. Yes, you read it correct, Max Payne the movie. And here is a trailer, watch it.

http://www.maxpaynethemovie.com/

Mark Wahlberg plays the role of Max Payne and Mila Kunis plays the role of Mona Sax. Its looks great, Mark Wahlberg is a great actor and it even gave us some glimpses of that “bullet-time” action. I hope it lives up to the hopes of many Max Payne fans around the world. Video game adaptations usually dont always work, but this movie I hope changes that notion. The movie releases on October 17, 2008.
