It was 51 years ago that one of the brightest stars of the Indian Cinema arrived on the silver screen for the first time. Aamir Khan smiled and won hearts as he played the little Ratan in Nasir Hussain’s Yaadon Ki Baaraat. The film, touted as the first Masala film of Bollywood, was a multistarrer and was a musical blockbuster.

Amitabh Bachchan Was Replaced Due To His Flop Status!

The film starred Dharmendra, Vijay Arora, and Tariq. However, it earlier starred Amitabh Bachchan, but distributors pushed Nasir Hussain to cast an actor who would help the film earn a hit status at the box office. Since Amitabh Bachchan did not have a good run at the box office, he was replaced by the more successful Vijay Arora.

Recently, there has been a lot of negative news about the upcoming MCU Blade reboot. After months of problems and Yann Demange leaving as director, the film has now been taken off Disney’s 2025 release schedule.

This move was expected since it seemed very unlikely the movie could meet its November 2025 deadline. It still doesn’t have a filming date, a finished script, or a director.

Recent reports from industry insider Daniel Richtman say that the Blade movie has been changed again. He claims that filming is set to start in 2025 in the United Kingdom. The film will have a smaller budget and is expected to be very dark, rated R, as they are working on a new script.

This news is positive, especially since reports say Mahershala Ali is still involved with the project. This makes sense because insiders say he wants to turn Blade into his own version of Black Panther.

It seems that in recent months all news related to the upcoming MCU’s ‘Blade’ reboot has been negative. Following months of troubling news, and Demange leaving his position as the movie’s director the other shoe has finally dropped and the movie has been removed from Disney’s 2025 release slate.

Quite frankly the move has been expected, it was extremely unlikely that the movie would make its November 2025 deadline considering it lacks a filming date, script, and director.

Now the latest reports brought to us from industry insider Daniel Richtman claim that the movie has undergone yet another overhaul. According to insider on Patreon, ‘Blade’ is scheduled to start filming in 2025 in the United Kingdom. The film will have a smaller budget and is expected to be very dark, rated R, as they are currently working on a new script.

This sounds like positive news, especially in light of...

Marvel just made yet another big change to its slate. Is dropping Blade a bad sign?

2023 saw the once-invincible MCU finally hit an overdue road block. First, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania disappointed at the box office. Then, Jonathan Majors, who was set to become the new big bad of the franchise as Kang, was arrested on assault charges and soon fired. Then, the 2023 Hollywood strikes curtailed production while The Marvels flopped.

While Deadpool & Wolverine has been a hit and Agatha All Along won wide praise and viewership, much of the rest of the Marvel lineup has been delayed until 2025. That included what was going to be a top contender for fans, Blade.

The original 1998 Blade was the first true Marvel hit movie. It adapted the cult character of a half-vampire hunting other vampires with Wesley Snipes in the title role. Thanks to a good script, great direction and Snipes’ performance,...

We finally saw Blade appear in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film — it just wasn’t the Blade played by Mahershala Ali. The first appearance of Blade in the MCU came in “Deadpool & Wolverine” with Wesley Snipes reprising his iconic role.

And now Ali’s “Blade” has been delayed yet again, pulled from Disney’s 2025 release slate entirely. What a disaster.

Marvel chief Kevin Feige first announced a “Blade” reboot back in 2019 with Ali attached to star, and the character was even teased in the post-credits of 2021’s “Eternals,” a would-be franchise that now seems forgotten.

“Blade” has been through many starts and stops, with several writers and directors filtering through and with delays because of the writers strike and more. Through it all, the franchise’s original stars Wesley Snipes and Stephen Dorff haven’t refrained from talking about it.

“It’s not the actor’s fault,” Snipes said of Ali.

Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts*, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are all heading our way next year and, up until today, so was Blade. 

It's been pretty obvious for a while that it wouldn't arrive in theaters on November 7, 2025, especially as there was no mention of it at events like San Diego Comic-Con and D23 earlier this summer. Now, Disney has confirmed that by removing the Daywalker's solo outing from its release schedule. 

As a result, the Blade reboot is undated and delayed indefinitely. 

On the plus side, Dan Trachtenberg's Predator: Badlands has taken Blade's place next November. Disney has also dated three untitled Marvel Studios movies for February 18, 2028, May 5, 2028, and November 10, 2028. 

For what it's worth, scooper @MyTimeToShineH says, "Blade [is] not dead so don't bury it yet."

Is one of those the long-awaited X-Men reboot? We'd be shocked if it isn't, though Marvel Studios might...

As Halloween approaches, Abbott Elementary is ready to celebrate in style with Season 4, Episode 4, titled “Costume Contest.” This episode promises a mix of humor and heart as the teachers and students dive into the festive spirit. Janine and Gregory take center stage with their couple’s costume, excited to show off their creative idea. However, things don’t go as planned, leading to some hilarious moments that highlight the challenges of teamwork and communication in a relationship.

Meanwhile, Barbara faces a different kind of challenge. Her beloved apple-bobbing tradition is met with concerns from parents about hygiene. This conflict brings to light the differing opinions on school traditions and the importance of balancing fun with safety. Barbara’s determination to keep the spirit of Halloween alive will surely resonate with anyone who has ever tried to maintain a beloved tradition in the face of criticism.

The season 7 premiere of FBI was also the last for actress Katherine Renee Kane’s Tiffany Wallace. Fans of the show have been waiting to find out how she would be written off and if it would have anything to do with the shooting of Hakim Saran in the season six finale.

As fans may recall, Tiffany struggled with guilt after Saran killed FBI Agent Trevor Hobbs in the middle of an investigation when season six premiered. During that season, she was determined to find Hakim and bring him to justice. In the season finale, the agents did find him, and Tiffany made a fateful decision to shoot him, telling the others she saw a weapon.

Since he did have a gun on him, it was ruled a good shooting. However, as we would learn in the season seven premiere, it didn’t quite help Tiffany feel better. In the season seven premiere,...

[This story contains spoilers from the Power Book II: Ghost series finale.]

On the very first episode of Power created by Courtney Kemp and executive produced by rapper-turned-tv mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson back in June 2014, there was no way of knowing that the kid in the nice penthouse apartment asking his mother Tasha (Naturi Naughton) if his father James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), who spoke fluent Spanish, could “hook up” his Spanish homework as she served breakfast was on his way to becoming a drug kingpin. At that point, the young Tariq didn’t even know his father was himself a kingpin known on the streets as Ghost (Hardwick). And that his mother also knew. Michael Rainey Jr. was just a few months from turning 14. Now a decade later, just over a week after turning 24, he’s closed out another series.

When Power Book II: Ghost premiered Sept. 6, 2020, the pandemic had put the whole country and world on a life-turning timeout.

Power Book II: Ghost has wrapped on Starz, but Tariq’s story could continue. Rumors of a possible spin-off have been floating around for some time now, and staR Michael Rainey Jr. addressed those rumors in a new interview with Deadline.

Mary J. Blige, Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Gianni Paolo, Woody McClain, Lovell Adams-Gray, Latoya Tonodeo, Alix Lapri, Larenz Tate, Caroline Chikezie, and Michael Ealy also star in the crime drama, which is a spin-off of the original Power series. The story finds young Tariq St. Patrick (Rainey Jr.) trying to escape his old life and attend college.

Power Book II: Ghost just aired it’s final episode ever!

The Starz drama series came to an end after four seasons on the network, and as the first spinoff of the flagship series, Power.

Ahead of the finale episodes, Starz teased that “no one is safe,” and that rang true in these last two episodes.

The Part Two synopsis reads: “Part one of Power Book II: Ghost uncovered unanswered high-stakes questions. Part two of the final season will showcase the adage ‘Like father, Like son.’ Tariq finds himself in an eerily similar situation, just like his late father, Ghost, stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the choice to leave the game or take over. Entrapped by Detective Carter, the Tejada family realizes their safety is not guaranteed. Monet fiercely fights for her family to become whole again, but is it too late? Noma is working her...

Although we’ve come to the end of the road, I just can’t let go.

Not to make this about me, but whenever a show ends that you’ve covered from start to finish, you get in your feelings a little bit.

From exclusive interviews to reviews, I’ve been with this show through it all, and for it to suddenly just be over? Well, it’s an odd feeling that’s for sure.

I was more excited than sad when Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 began. When you know that a series is ending,...

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from the series finale of Starz‘s Power Book II: Ghost.

In 2014, Michael Rainey Jr. was a young teen when he debuted as Tariq St. Patrick in the Starz drama series Power, from executive producers Courtney A. Kemp and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

The drama series has been airing it’s final episodes ever as the show is ending after this season, and that phrase was ever present in the penultimate episode.

In the second-to-last episode of the series, one of the show’s main characters met their fate in a bloody way.

Power Book II: Ghost season four powered its way to a new viewership record on Starz. The network reports that the critically acclaimed drama averaged 10.5 million multiple-platform viewers 90 days post-premiere. In addition, season four episode eight showed a 6% increase over episode seven and took the #1 spot among cable programs in Black households in four major cities.

The season’s final two episodes will air on September 27th and October 4th.

The cast is led by Michael Rainey Jr. as Tariq St. Patrick, Mary J. Blige as Monet Tejada, Cliff ‘Method Man’ Smith as Davis MacLean, and Gianni Paolo as Brayden Weston. Woody McClain stars as Cane Tejada, Lovell Adams-Gray is Dru Tejada, Latoya Tonodeo is Diana Tejada, Alix Lapri is Effie Morales, and Larenz Tate is Rashad Tate.

Power Book II: Ghost has scored a record audience at Starz ahead of the anticipated Season 4 finale.

The new season is averaging 10.5M multi-platform viewers per episode in the first 90 days since Season 4 premiered, according to data from the network. That’s an all-time high for the series.

Episode 8, which aired on September 20, delivered 6% audience growth week-over-week in the three days post-premiere, Starz said.

The series continues to index well with Black households, as Episode 8 was the top cable program among the demographic in key markets like Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles.

In fact, Season 4 Part 1 and 2 both debuted as the highest-rated cable program among Black households in their respective premiere weekends.

To date, the Power universe has amassed 1.6B hours watched, Starz said.

It’s the beginning of the end for Season 4, with the two-part finale kicking off September 27 at midnight Et on the Starz app and via linear at 8 p.

Mary J. Blige remembers the first time she got positive feedback for her acting. “When I was 7, I did a Christmas play in school, and the word from the other students and teachers was that me and this guy who was also in the play did very, very, very well,” she says. “It put something in me like, ‘Okay maybe I can really do this,’ and I always wanted to act [after] getting that feedback. At some point, I kind of left it alone and got into the music business.”

Choosing the music business early in her career has more than worked out for Blige. To date, the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, won nine Grammys and is set to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in October. And she’s not stopping. She just released “Breathing” with rapper Fabolous, the lead...

There are only two episodes left of Power Book II: Ghost and the action is ramping Up.

As the series approaches its conclusion, two characters are embarking on two very different journeys.

Dru Tejada forges his path by teaming up with crooked Detective Carter against his mother’s wishes. Then there’s Brayden, who’s had a rocky time during this final season and sees his latest relationship implode when he lets his anger get the best of him.

Dru has made a decision for himself, and as his portrayer, the ever-candid Lovell Adams-Gray, shared with us, he’s working with Detective Carter with a larger plan in mind.

“I think Dru is trying to carve out a lane for himself and protect his family in the way that he sees best,” Adams-Gray said when asked about what’s driving Dru at this point in the story.

And just like that, everything is falling apart.

Just when you thought everyone was going to band together and defeat the biggest evil of all, Detective Carter, things went spectacularly awry, as things tend to do on Power Book II: Ghost.

Carter and Noma working together? Brayden killing drug dealers in the name of love? What Is Going On?

This hour was a weird one because, on the one hand, nothing should have been overly surprising. Loyalty comes and goes with these people, but still, some moments genuinely confused me.

And I have no idea how they plan to wrap everything up in the next two hours. Good luck with that.

Carter gets increasingly villainous every week, and lying straight up to Nico about Felicia’s death, who has his back more than anyone else, must come back to bite along with his other lies.

On this week’s Power Book II: Ghost, we learn that Cane and Noma are getting married. What is that registry going to look like?!

Noma’s tap-dance to secure a government contract without getting caught by the feds is second only to Carter’s fancy footwork as he tries to convince Nico that Felicia died in a car crash (and not in a heinous beat-dow in her own kitchen). How long, do you think, before this all blows up in his face?

In the eighth episode of this fourth season of Power Book II: Ghost, Tariq and Monet attempt a strategic move to gain leverage over Carter, opting to make a calculated play involving Noma. Meanwhile, an incident in Brayden’s relationship with Elle triggers an explosive reaction, as he transforms from a gentle puppy to an aggressive […]

Power Book II: Ghost: Higher Calling...

Now, this is what I’m talking about.

This is the Power Book II: Ghost we’ve all come to love and revere over the years.

As a universe, Power has always been at its best when its varied plot points, as convoluted as they may be, coalesce and have all the characters together, whether they’re working against one another or something bigger than them.

We’ve finally reached that point with three hours to go.

While I may have lamented the emphasis on Carter and his crew during Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 Episode 6, it all paid off here when they were in a much-diminished role, and Carter’s grandiose plan to eradicate violent crime by “owning” criminals all over the city slowly started to crumble.

As a bad guy, Carter has been okay. Michael Ealy always brings a lot to the table, but it...

In this week’s Power Book II: Ghost, a deeply painful loss leads to self-reflection, healing and inner peace… just kidding! Diana’s trauma sets off a series of events that make everything worse for a whole lot of people, which is how it tends to go in the Powerverse, right? On the upside: At least we get a Tasha sighting.

The CEO of Starz provided some insight into why Power Book II: Ghost is ending.

Power Book II, a spin-off to the popular Power, follows Michael Rainey Jr.’s Tariq St. Patrick, the twenty-something son of James St. Patrick and the protagonist of the mothership series.

Book II and its extensive cast are now in its fourth season, and Tariq is grappling with his father's legacy while operating his own drug trafficking business.

Is Diana Tejada okay?

That was the central question lingering on our minds when the credits rolled on Power Book II: Ghost Season 4 Episode 6, and Diana was lying on the pavement with a panicked Tariq calling out for help.

We’ll have to wait for answers about what comes next for Diana and Tariq, but even so, we had to go right to the source to try and get some answers.

Tariq and Diana’s portrayers, Michael Rainey Jr. and Latoya Tonodeo, were kind enough to spend a few minutes with me reacting to the latest episode and looking ahead to what’s coming from the final few episodes.

Diana found herself in a tricky situation when one of Carter’s underlings, Felicia, tasked her with killing drug dealer Zion after he made a potential mess for her and her fellow dirty cops.

Diana and Tariq have a lengthy and complicated history,...

It may be time to have a hard conversation about this final season of Power Book II: Ghost.

We now only have four new hours of this series to digest and process, and at the rate they’re going, I can’t confidently say I’m not loving the direction.

Something feels off right now, but this isn’t an instance where I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong. I know exactly what the issue is.

Shows need to keep themselves fresh, and they do so by adding recurring characters and different things to prevent their characters and storylines from becoming stale.

You bring in a new villain to challenge the good guys and change the stakes so your audience sees something new while still connecting to the characters they’re connected to.

It’s not always easy, and at times, shows make the...

Remember Det. Carter’s “We only do bad things to criminals” credo? Well, it dies a quick death — much like a certain co-worker of his — in Power Book II: Ghost‘s midseason premiere.

As the viability of Carter’s task force gets threatened, the group’s members lash out… which results in some potentially bad news for Diana and Tariq, too. Read on for the highlights of “The Devil’s Playground.”
