Chris Pratt on ‘The Tomorrow War’: I fight aliens, save the world, crack the occasional joke

Hollywood actor Chris Pratt, who stars in and makes his debut as an executive producer in the upcoming sci-fi action thriller “The Tomorrow War”, reveals why he was interested in playing Dan Forester in the film.

“I just loved it from beginning to end,” Pratt says, adding: “It’s a fantastic original concept filled with humor and heart, but it’s also a gigantic movie with a ton of action and visual spectacle. Best of all, it’s grounded in real relationships. I have to confess, making a film where I get to fight aliens and save the world while cracking the occasional joke is right in my wheelhouse.”

The actor found it cool to be part of the process and give his input as a producer.

“(Director) Chris McKay and his team of designers and visual effects artists pioneered incredible new technologies to bring the creatures to life in this movie, and it was extremely cool to be part of that process and give my input as an executive producer along the way,” he says.

“The Tomorrow War” also features JK Simmons, Yvonne Strahovski, Keith Powers, Sam Richardson, Betty Gilpin, and Edwin Hodge. The film is set to premiere on July 2 on Amazon Prime Video.

Nicki Minaj defends Michael B. Jordan over name of his new rum brand

Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan has been accused of cultural appropriation over the name of his new rum brand, and rapper Nicki Minaj has come out in defense of the actor.

Jordan has named his new product J’Ouvert Rum. J’ouvert is a large street party held annually as part of Carnival in many Caribbean islands (primarily in the Lesser Antilles) and in areas where Caribbean peoples have immigrated.

Reposting users’ comment taking issue with the rum brand’s name on her Instagram account, Minaj believes that Jordan didn’t intentionally mean to offend Caribbean people.

“I’m sure MBJ didn’t intentionally do anything he thought Caribbean ppl would find offensive,” she captioned her post, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Minaj still suggested that Jordan changes the name of his rum brand.

She added: “but now that you are aware, change the name and continue to flourish & prosper.”

The original comment shared by her slammed the decision to name Jordan’s rum brand, which the user explained is “a broken down version of the French Jour Ouvert, the morning time referred to as day open”.

Indian shooters take aim in World Cup with an eye on Olympics

The International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) World Cup here from Thursday will be the last chance for 15 Indian shooters to test their skills for the Jul 23-Aug 8 Olympic Games in Japan.

The Croatia World Cup will be organised in all three disciplines — rifle, pistol and shotgun.

India have won five Olympic quota places in pistol events, eight in rifle and two in skeet during the 2019 Olympic qualification cycle.

The Indian shooters, who are on a short training-cum-competition stint in Europe to prepare for the Olympics, had last month also competed in the European Shooting Championships in Osijek in Minimum Qualification Score (MQS) category.

India’s high performance rifle coach Deepali Deshpande had expressed her satisfaction over the team’s performance in Osijek. “It was a good performance overall considering the shooters had a break after the New Delhi World Cup in March,” Deepali had said.

While Deepak Kumar, Divyansh Singh Panwar, Sanjeev Rajput, Aishwary Pratap Tomar, Apurvi Chandela, Anjum Moudgil, Elavenil Valavi and Tejaswini Sawant have qualified for the Olympics in rifle shooting events, Abhishek Verma, Saurabh Chaudhary, Manu Bhaker, Rahi Sarnobat and Yashaswini Singh will compete in pistol events in Japan.

Angadvir Singh Bajwa and Mairaj Ahmad Khan have qualified in the men’s skeet event for Tokyo.
