‘Omerta exposes state-sponsored terrorism and how it manipulates young minds into believing a sordid interpretation of Jihad. Terror is all about power. Packed screenings at international film festivals were met with shocked silence and often anger. I am expecting similar reactions from the audience’

Actor Michael Caine says he will not work with filmmaker Woody Allen again after learning of the sexual assault allegations against him.“I am so stunned. I am a patron of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and have very strong views about paedophilia. I can’t come to terms with it, because I loved Woody and had a wonderful time with him” said Caine. He had won an Oscar for his role in Allen's film Hannah and Her Sisters.
Spielberg’s anxiety attack
Veteran filmmaker Steven Spielberg's movie Ready Player One had a world premiere but not before facing technical difficulties which drew boos from the crowd.
After being announced as the secret screening at the year's SXSW Film Festival, Spielberg's film was hit with technical difficulties during its world premiere. About 100 minutes into the film, the sound went out, drawing boos and jeers from the Paramount Theater crowd.
The projectionist restarted the movie, which had been paused during a climactic scene, but the sound system failed again. After a third, successful attempt, the sold-out crowd burst into applause.
Spielberg received a standing ovation at the film's conclusion and asked the audience not to reveal any spoilers beforehand.
