一 | Legendary actor Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89, and the film industry is still in mourning. Sriram Raghavan, the director of Ikkis, delivered one of the most poignant words among the numerous sincere condolences that poured in, remembering the legendary star with profound love and appreciation. Calling his demise an irreplaceable void, Raghavan said, “It’s a deeply personal loss. A top star, fine actor and most vitally, a warm and wonderful human being. Dharmendra’s death comes just days before what would have been his 90th birthday on December 8. The month of December is now expected to be marked by a series of tributes honouring his remarkable cinematic journey—from the re-release of his timeless classic Sholay on December 12 to the arrival of his final on-screen performance in Raghavan’s upcoming military drama Ikkis, slated for a Christmas release on December 25.

She praised the actor for his unparalleled professionalism and generosity, pointing out that despite his decades of expertise, he never hesitated during retakes and maintained the same enthusiasm as a novice. Ikkis tells the tale of India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, who bravely fought in the Indo-Pak War in 1971. One of the most emotionally impactful elements of Dharmendra's late career is his portrayal of Khetarpal's father. His performance is anticipated to have a profound impact on viewers due to the film's poignant subject matter as well as the fact that it concludes a tremendous cinematic legacy. As Bollywood and fans prepare to celebrate Dharmendra’s life and artistry throughout December, Ikkis stands as a moving farewell—one legend telling the story of another.

二 | 据称，亚马逊 MGM 在选角初期就看中了史蒂文斯。虽然他最著名的角色是马修·克劳利，但他还出演过《贵客》、真人版《美女与野兽》、动画剧集我们之中（国际）等作品。最初的亚历克斯·墨菲由彼得·威勒（Peter Weller）饰演，他曾在多部《机械战警》续集和衍生作品中回归出演该角色。这是该剧的官方剧情梗概：“一家巨型科技集团说服城市在警队中部署一名强大的机器人——一个植入了深受爱戴的殉职警官意识的机器人。”亚马逊在 7 月正式为 Prime Video 的《机械战警》重启版开了绿灯，不过据称自公司于 2022 年收购 MGM 以来，该项目就一直处于某种开发阶段。彼得·奥科（Peter Ocko，《月球天堂》、《49 号旅店》）担任剧集负责人、编剧及执行制片人。来自 Blumhouse Atomic Monster 的迈克尔·克里尔（Michael Clear）、罗伯·哈克特（Rob Hackett）以及《招魂》系列的温子仁（James Wan）均担任执行制片人，丹妮尔·博佐内（Danielle Bozzone）负责监督公司事务。原版《机械战警》的编剧艾德·诺麦尔（Ed Neumeier）和迈克尔·迈纳（Michael Miner）也担任执行制片人。“保罗·范霍文在 1987 年创作的作品领先于时代几十年，它关于技术、身份以及企业究竟为谁服务的问题变得越来越紧迫，”温子仁在 7 月表示。“凭借彼得独特的视野和大胆的叙事方式，再加上艾德以及我们在亚马逊 MGM 工作室的合作伙伴，我们正致力于致敬原作的经典地位，并在这个现代技术驱动的世界中突出其相关性，同时为全球观众打造一些鲜明的新内容。
