Jonah Hill already has his next directorial project lined up, and studios are determined to win the rights for its production.

The movie is set to be produced under Hill’s production company, Strong Baby with Hill also contributing to the script alongside writer Ezra Woods. Most details of the film have been kept under wraps including no reports from either Hill or Reeves but both of their involvement is creating much anticipation.

RRR is a staggering success in Japan

SS. Rajamouli’s RRR has taken the Japanese box office by storm. It’s breaking all the records set by previous blockbusters and has become the first Indian film to collect 250 Million Yen at the Japanese Box-office. The popular director became quite prominent in Japan after his movie Baahubali 2, which also did well in Japan with a similar collection in the span of 7 months but RRR made history by achieving this feat in one month. It is predicted that RRR could become the highest-grossing Indian film in Japan in the next few weeks.
