The Bollywood Version Of Spider-Man Is Better, Because He Can Fly
The Bollywood version of Spider-Man, starring Shah Rukh Khan (Om Shanthi Om), now has a director — Anubhav Sinha, director of action-movie classics like Dus and Cash. Apparently the film will involve a Spider-Man-style superhero — except that he also soars through the air at supersonic speeds, like Superman. SRK is looking for his costar, a 12-year-old boy. We previously reported that this film will be about a kid who gains access to an alien device that grants his wishes, but it sounds like the script for the most expensive movie in Bollywood history is still being written.

2050's Mumbai Looks Like Dubai + Shanghai
A pair of lovers step into a time machine, and find themselves in the glittery Mumbai of the year 2050, which includes flying cars, holograms, sex robots and Indian ninjas. There will be a lot more kickboxing 42 years from now — and probably quite a few spontaneous song-and-dance numbers as well. We've been excited for Bollywood's Love Story 2050 for months, and we're even more excited after seeing this trailer, which showcases an unfinished version of the movie's big-budget special effects. The movie comes out this summer, at which point we'll be dancing in the aisles.
