Emraan Hashmi shocked to hear about existence of witches

The Times of India

It is learnt that when he started shooting for his forthcoming film, 'Ek Thi Daayan', actor Emraan Hashmi was shocked to hear that real daayans (witches) do exist. Even more so when told that they are very much active and still practicing witchcraft even in a metropolitan city like Mumbai.

Seems the actor found it hard to believe all this initially, till director Kannan Iyer told him about the existence of Wiccans in the city. The filmmaker also got one of their film's crew member, who had done research on the subject, to share some of the material with the actor. That's when Emraan agreed that 'daayans' not only exist but are also active in the city, we're told.

A source associated with the movie tells us that the crew member who had done extensive research on the cult of Wiccans invite the actor to join him on a visit to see how womenpractice witchcraft.

"The guy also told Emraan about the signs and symbols Wiccans use, that common people can't understand their meaning, and even showed them on the doors and windows of the house of one such Wiccan," recalled our source, adding that only when the actor saw the signs and symbols for himself did he believe that the cult still exists. "At the same time, Emraan hasn't been able to get over the fact that 'daayans' still exist," sums up our informer.

Monty Python re-unites for sci-fi comedy ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!

Ain't It Cool News

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm starting to think I died and didn't know it. Am I living Beetlejuice right now? Seriously, we have the promise of a crazy number of promising looking Star Wars movies, Marvel is dominating popular culture with an incredible slate of movies past, present and future and now Monty Python is getting back together? It's too good to be true, but Variety claims it is very real.

Now they're trying to downplay the importance of Terry Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam reteaming (Eric Idle hasn't signed yet, but they're in the process of wooing him), saying it's not really a Python film, but then saying it will feel like one!

Terry Jones is directing this film called Absolutely Anything, which is a tale of asshole aliens who give an earthling the power of God (he can do absolutely anything... now you understand the title, dontcha?) just to see what happens. It'll be a CGI animated/live-action hybrid deal with the surviving Pythons voicing the aliens and Robin Williams voicing a dog. He's apparently a very smart dog. His face will be seen as well, as he will be playing a character that is only described as a "pompous Frenchman." Are there any other kind of Frenchmen? (Sorry, my French friends! It was too obvious a joke for me not to go for it)

Apparently Jones has been toying with the script for two decades with Gavin Scott.

If Williams is also appearing in the flesh, I have hope that the Python members get to play some live action scenes together, but hey... if it's just them getting together and performance capturing aliens that like to fuck with humans then I'll take it.
