...going to make a film about it. This project, Water (Paani in Hindi), has become such an obsession that despite commitments to direct Morgan Freeman in a film about Nelson Mandela and Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush in a sequel to Elizabeth, as well as co-writing a biopic on the life of Buddha, Kapur recently left the West after 10 years in London and Los Angeles and moved back to Bombay. "This," he says grandly...
...corporate side!" Nurses have buzzed his fund raisers with "Air Arnold" planes that drag banners reading DON'T BE BIG BUSINESS'S BULLY! They picketed a celebrity-studded party the Governor threw at his Brentwood home for retired NBC anchor Tom Brokaw.

...couldn’t help but ponder this frustrating paradox during Martin Scorsese’s newest, The Aviator, a film chronicling the life of Hollywood wonderboy Howard Hughes. There is no question that Martin Scorsese is a brilliant and gifted filmmaker, but his new biopic is lifeless—a word rarely applied to the always vital Scorsese. It is a film without passion seemingly made solely to finally get Scorsese the Oscar his previous work has so richly deserved...
