Today, September 27th, 2024, marked another day brimming with intriguing updates from the film world. If you found yourself missing out on the top stories, this roundup will fill you in on all the significant events. From the unveiling of the teaser for Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 to Akshay Kumar and the Housefull 5 team persisting with their shoot amidst a tumultuous sea storm, here’s what went down today.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel the excitement brewing in Tinseltown as more big names are added to the roster of “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” – the upcoming film adaptation of our beloved series. It’s been confirmed that Cillian Murphy will once again embody the indomitable Tommy Shelby, and according to the latest buzz, Quentin Tarantino (of “Pulp Fiction” and “Reservoir Dogs” fame) has officially joined the cast! The specific roles for stars like Rebecca Ferguson (“Dune”), Jay Lycurgo (“DC’s Titans”), and Barry Keoghan (“The Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn”) are still being kept under lock and key.

Previously this year, it was announced that The Good Daughter, a psychological thriller based on Karin Slaughter’s bestselling novel, would feature Emily Blunt as the star and executive producer. However, it appears that this is no longer happening as the Emmy award-nominated actress has withdrawn from the project. The limited series was acquired by NBCU’s streaming service in March, with Slaughter writing every episode and serving as executive producer alongside Blunt.

Few high-fantasy films as renowned as Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy can match its epic, swashbuckling glory. This timeless adventure paved the way for fantasy adaptations to gain mainstream popularity and broke new ground with extended theatrical runtimes. “The Return of the King” even swept every Academy Award it was nominated for. In essence, these films left an indelible mark on fantasy fans, who have continued to shape and dominate the genre ever since their debut.

Besides being a gifted actress, Sonam Kapoor is deeply committed to her family. Being the daughter of well-known star Anil Kapoor and Sunita Kapoor, she values her family connections highly. Recently, in honor of her cherished grandmother Nirmal Kapoor’s 90th birthday, Sonam posted a sweet throwback photograph featuring herself with her siblings, Arjun Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor. This nostalgic snapshot is undeniably heartwarming.
