Kedarnath pushed to March 2019

If fresh reports are anything to go by, then the release date of Sushant Singh Rajput and Sara Ali Khan’s much-awaited film Kedarnath has been pushed ahead once again. Earlier scheduled to enter theatres on 30th November, 2018, the Abhishek Kapoor directorial will now hit the marquee in March, 2019.

So, what has led to yet another delay in the release of the film? According to a source, Ronnie Screwvala, the co-producer of the film, had already locked dates for the release of his other films in the next few months. Since he did not want Kedarnath to clash with his own films, he decided to move it to March.


“With Ronnie’s Vicky Kaushal and Yami Gautam-starrer, Uri: The Surgical Strike, slated to release in January, and Abhishek Chaubey’s daku (dacoit) drama, Sonchiraiya, also with Sushant, to open in February, Kedarnath has been pushed to March. However, the makers are yet to zero in on a specific date,” informs the source.

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s daughter Sara Ali Khan was set to make her acting debut with Kedarnath, but since the film is now being pushed to 2019, Rohit Shetty’s Ranveer Singh-starrer Simmba, which hits the silver screen in December this year, will now mark her debut.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
