A senior official of the ICC's anti-corruption unit feels that making match-fixing a criminal offence in India will be the "single-most-effective thing"
India created history by beating West Indies in the World Cup 1983 final to win the trophy for the first time at Lord's.
Australia's prime spinner Nathan Lyon said a Test series against India is comparable to the Ashes rivalry against England.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has asked the ICC to get written assurances from the BCCI that its team would face no problems getting visasJust last week, Zack Snyder tweeted a sneak peek teaser for his cut of Justice League. It featured Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman looking at some inscriptions on a wall, followed by a glimpse of Darkseid himself. And now, thanks to one industrious Twitter user, we have a translated version of some of the text that appeared in the video.
The text written in Ancient Greek was seen on the Shrine of the Amazons, which Wonder Woman discovers in the clip, and the translation – by Twitter user Unity_514 – hints at the backstory of Darkseid. It seems like Zeus commanded Ares to kill Darkseid when he invaded with his army, but somehow the injured and beaten supervillain survives and takes refuge in the stars (most likely meaning space).
EXCLUSIVE!!! Let’s brake the internet again! I have translated the 2nd wall in the shrine/temple. Look at the 4 pics
above for full details. My profile also has more wall translations. And also on Vero (steve_ g)@zacksnyder #ReleaseTheSnyderCut #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague pic.twitter.com/vMsa8sqIfT

There’s also mention of the Mother Boxes, which look to have been left behind by the winning army. These are “distributed among the three generations/tribes/races/clans” who might have to defend Earth against Darkseid if he tries to invade again.
Of course, you should take this with a pinch of salt, as for all we know this text could just be a placeholder that changes before the film is released. Speaking of which, the long-awaited Snyder cut of Justice League is scheduled to arrive some time next year on HBO Max, and that release window might just fall within early 2021, if recent reports are to be believed.
Either way, we’ll know a lot more at the DC FanDome event – a 24-hour virtual convention that starts on August 22nd. It’s an event worth getting excited for as well, with DC promising to make announcements spanning the entire DC universe, including movies, shows, games and comic books. Fingers crossed we’ll get a full trailer for the Snyder Cut of Justice League at that point, too.
Bruce Campbell made his name with the Evil Dead franchise and has been quizzed about its return in every interview he’s done for the last twenty years. Fortunately, right now there’s some actual news for him to report.
Yes, as you may’ve heard, Evil Dead 4 is officially going ahead under the direction of Lee Cronin, though it won’t feature Bruce Campbell’s Ash. The project was officially announced two weeks ago when Campbell revealed that the title was Evil Dead Now. Things seem to have shifted a little even since then, though, as in a new interview with Diabolique Magazine, Campbell unveiled a new (and in my opinion much better) title, saying:
“The official name is Evil Dead Rise. We’re getting a new draft in. I don’t think anything will happen until 2021. Full bore ahead, we’re very excited about it. A whole, new ballgame. No more cabin in the woods.”
That last line should be of interest to fans, as the ‘Evil Dead Cabin’ has become a staple of the series. Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and the 2013 soft reboot all took place in the woodland cabin. The rural location has provided many of the series’ iconic elements, like killer trees, animated hunting trophies and, of course, the chainsaw.
Evil Dead has taken many trips away from this location, too, though. Army of Darkness tossed Ash back in time to the medieval era, while the much-missed Ash vs. Evil Dead took place all over the country (though returned to the cabin for various reasons).
Abandoning it for something new is a big indication that the upcoming movie is intended to be a fresh start for the franchise. But wherever they eventually decide to set it, I’m sure Evil Dead Rise will provide the rollercoaster of horror and the fountains of blood we’ve come to expect. Roll on 2021.
Former England captain Clare Connor is set to become the first female president of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC)India created history by beating West Indies in the World Cup 1983 final to win the trophy for the first time at Lord's.
1983 World Cup Prudential Cup: It was on June 25 in 1932 that India played their first-ever Test match and it was June 25 once again 51 years later that India knocked West Indies off their perch to claim the World Cup - then called the Prudential World Cup. Today is that momentous day.Since the dawn of cinema, female actresses have had to contend with unrealistic body standards. Whereas the men could hide their physique behind sleek tuxedos and padded robes, many a femme fatale had to appear dressed in skimpy, risque outfits whenever they appear on set, and “look good” in them, too.
Although in recent years American culture has become increasingly aware of and unsympathetic towards the idea of these male-gaze promulgated double standards when it comes to sex and beauty, the average Hollywood heroine still has to emulate the makings of a skinny supermodel.
Scarlett Johansson, one of Hollywood’s biggest contemporary sex symbols, knows that all too well. In a recent interview with Candis Magazine, the celebrated actress compared her own trials and tribulations when it comes to staying ‘fit’ to a scene from the classic film All About Eve.
“There has always been pressure on actors to stay thin,” Johansson said. “There’s a scene in one of my favorite movies, All About Eve, where Bette Davis is circling around the room, horribly upset about something, and she picks up a chocolate … puts it down … picks it up again … puts it down again … finally, she gives in and eats it, but only after a huge struggle! So even back then, there was the pressure going on. And now, it’s much worse.”
As CinemaBlend notes in their own report on the same topic, the average BMI during the time in which All About Eve was produced was around 23.6. Over the course of nearly seventy years, that number has increased to 29.6, which isn’t all that much.
While actresses with heavier body types are cast more frequently today than they were in the past, they’re typically relegated to the role of side characters. Some, like Rebel Wilson, do land a lead role every now and then, but usually in comedies in which their slightly larger than average weight is always made an important plot point.
As far as Johansson is concerned, however, her on-screen weight is perhaps less a reflection of the times we live in, and more a requirement for the roles she plays. Best known for her part as Natasha Romanoff in the MCU, Scarlett Johansson needs to stay in optimal shape to make the various acrobatic feats performed by her character appear believable.
The 1983 World Cup not only changed the way cricket was viewed and played in India but it changed India itself. We look at 8 insights – on the players and performances that stood out in India’s triumphant journey in the tournament.Netflix is set to release a fun new twist on the Sherlock Holmes legend in the near future – Enola Holmes, starring Stranger Things actress Millie Bobby Brown as the eponymous younger sister of the Great Detective. Both Sherlock and Brown fans are excited for the movie, then, but not everyone’s on board with it. The estate of Arthur Conan Doyle, the literary character’s creator, is taking Netflix to court in a copyright lawsuit.
As revealed by Deadline, Doyle’s estate filed a 19-page complaint against the streaming giant in New Mexico federal court, with the central point being that the “copyright infringement arises from defendants unauthorized copying of original creative expression by [Conan Doyle] in copyrighted Sherlock Holmes stories.”
The estate’s argument is that, while most Holmes stories are in the public domain, the final 10 Doyle wrote were published from 1923-7, so they’re still in copyright. The suit notes that, following his tragic experiences in World War 1, Doyle endeavored to add more humanity to his detective as well as “significant new character traits.” It’s claimed that Enola Holmes borrows from concepts established in these later stories. As per the suit:
“When Conan Doyle came back to Holmes in the Copyrighted Stories between 1923 and 1927, it was no longer enough that the Holmes character was the most brilliant rational and analytical mind. Holmes needed to be human. The character needed to develop human connection and empathy.”
The suit argues that the movie marks a “willful, deliberate, and ongoing infringement of the Conan Doyle Estate’s copyrights.” On the back of this, Doyle’s estate is seeking a jury trail and is demanding the defendants pay them unspecified damages. Director Harry Bradbeer and writer Jack Thorne are among the case’s defendants, as is Nancy Springer and Penguin Random House, the author and publisher of the books the film is based on.
It’s unclear how things will proceed from here, but it’s worth noting that a similar lawsuit was filed against 2015’s Mr. Holmes, starring Ian McKellen, and that was ultimately settled settled out of court and dismissed a few months after.
Also starring Henry Cavill as Sherlock himself and Sam Claflin as eldest sibling Mycroft, Enola Holmes was originally due for a theatrical release from Legendary until the pandemic changed plans. A release date has yet to be announced.
Hellboy fans were crushed when they learned they’d never get the planned third installment in the original series of films based off the Dark Horse comic character. Instead, 2019 brought us a reboot, starring David Harbour in place of Ron Perlman. Though it does have a cult following, reviews of Neil Marshall’s movie were savage and it’s generally considered not to be a patch on Guillermo del Toro’s earlier duology.
While it sounds like a del Toro Hellboy 3 wasn’t ultimately on the cards, it’s fascinating to discover that Perlman could’ve returned for a third go-around under another director. While speaking to ComicBookMovie.com, the star dropped the bombshell that he was offered the chance to reprise Big Red once again in what became the reboot, but he just wasn’t interested without del Toro involved so he declined.
“The reboot was something I had the opportunity to participate in and decided that the only version of Hellboy I’m interested in is the one I do with Guillermo and so in walking away from it, I truly walked away from it, and haven’t seen it or heard much about it,” Perlman said. “I wished them well, but it was not in my bailiwick.”
As for why del Toro couldn’t do it, Perlman says it was a case of the Oscar-winning filmmaker being so busy with a number of projects. And without him helming the ship, the reboot was a completely different ballgame.
“The only thing that’s stopping the third Hellboy film is the fact that Guillermo [del Toro] is one of the busiest guys in the business,” the actor added. “He couldn’t do it with all the stuff he’s got lined up even if wanted to. The two films had nothing to do with one another.”
Given how the reboot flopped, you might think there’s a chance Hellboy 3, with del Toro and Perlman, could happen in a few years’ time, similar to how other franchises have gone back and forth with continuity (Halloween, for example). However, it doesn’t really sound like that’s a possibility. Perlman has previously said that he’s put the character behind him and has made peace with not playing him again. In some other timeline, though, we could’ve got a third outing with the actor as Hellboy.
