Oscar winner Alex Gibney will direct a documentary based on the life of Indian-origin British American novelist Salman Rushdie. This documentary will be based on his book ‘Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder’.
Gibney is known for making films such as ‘Taxi to the Dark Side’ and ‘Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief’.
This documentary titled ‘Knife’ will be based on Rushdie’s memoir ‘Knife: Meditation After an Attempted Murder’. It will show in detail the attempt to murder him 30 years after the fatwa was issued against him.
Launched in April, the book not only traces the author’s life and career, but also the 2022 assassination attempt against the Indian-origin British American novelist and the long saga that followed.
Rushdie was stabbed 15 times by a 24-year-old New Jersey man in Chautauqua, New York.
The attacker stabbed Rushdie multiple times in the neck, eye, and chest while he was delivering a speech on Chautauqua’s amphitheater stage, causing him to collapse on stage.
In the attack, Rushdie lost vision in one eye and was also left disabled in one hand.
The documentary will also trace Rushdie’s recovery journey through personal footage from Rushdie’s wife Rachel Eliza Griffiths, reports variety.com.
In his book ‘Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder’ Rushdie writes, ” This is a story where hate in the form of a knife is answered with love and ultimately overcomes it.”
Rushdie said, “I am glad that Alex is working with us in this film.
They said, “We have long admired his brilliant work, from ‘Taxi to the Dark Side’ to ‘Going Clear’, he has done a brilliant job. There could be no one better than him for this job.”
Gibney will move between Griffiths’ raw, intimate footage, movie clips, excerpts from Rushdie’s books, new interviews and vintage photographs to capture Rushdie’s life, including the fatwa issued against Rushdie by the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989 for his book ‘The Satanic Verses’.
Gibney said, “It is a pleasure and an honour to make a film about Salman Rushdie, an extraordinary novelist, a tenacious individual and one of the world’s most courageous defenders of freedom of expression.”
Hollywood star Jeremy Renner explains why he did not return to ‘Mission: Impossible’
Hollywood star Jeremy Renner, who works in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise, spoke openly about not working in ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’.
Hollywood star Jeremy Renner has appeared in two ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchises, including ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ in 2011 and ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’ in 2015.
In an interview on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, Jeremy Renner said that I was asked to reprise the character of IMF agent William Brandt in the 2018 sequel ‘Fallout’.
He was offered a role in the film that required him to shoot for a week so that his character, Brandt, could be killed off.
“I remember they tried to get me to come on board for a week so they could kill my character, and I said, ‘No, you can’t do that. You can’t kill my character,’” the actor was quoted as saying, reports variety.com.
He said, ‘If you’re going to do this and you’re going to use my character, do it the right way.’” Renner said, “I yelled at (director Christopher McQuarrie).”
The actor never returned to the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise after ‘Rogue Nation’, although he said in an interview that he would be open to coming back.
Oscar-nominated Renner recently said in an interview that he did not do the Mission: Impossible franchise after Rogue Nation so that he could spend time with his family.
Renner has portrayed Clint Barton / Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including The Avengers (2012) and the Disney Plus miniseries Hawkeye (2021).
He has also appeared in the action films Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011), The Bourne Legacy (2012), Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) and Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015), and the dramas American Hustle (2013), Arrival (2016) and Wind River (2017).
The actor also won over audiences with his performance in the Paramount+ crime thriller series Mayor of Kingstown.
The actor started his film career as a student in the 1995 comedy National Lampoon’s Senior Trip. But his film did not receive the love of the audience.
