Recent advancements in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) have taken the world by storm. Deepfakes, DALL-E 2, ChatGPT, and all of their sister concerns have prepared the path for several arguments about the ethics, prospects, and eventual future of AI. Now, by using mid-journey AI, a Facebook user named Razib Jahan Ferdous rendered some pictures of the top Hollywood celebrities having iftar. In a Facebook post, he shared twelve pictures with the caption, "After the Eid shopping, in an iftar invitation at Sultan's Dine." In the picture, we can see actors like Morgan Freeman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr, Christian Bale, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Dwayne Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chris Hemsworth, and Angelina Jolie having iftar like us in a very Islamic way.


Angelina Jolie, Kids Watch 'Love, Simon' During 'Tomb Raider' Reboot Opening Weekend

International Business Times

Angelina Jolie and her kids bonded over the weekend. The "Maleficent" star was photographed on Sunday with her children with ex Brad Pitt. It was the opening weekend of the "Tomb Raider" reboot that stars Alicia Vikander. Jolie was the first to play the character in 2001's "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." Instead of the reboot, however, Jolie opted to watch Jennifer Garner's dramedy, "Love, Simon."


The New Tomb Raider Finds a Different Way of Admiring Female Bodies

Slate

I left the latest Tomb Raider film ready to hit the gym. This third adaptation of the video game franchise--and the first to star 2016 Oscar winner Alicia Vikander, who takes over for 2000 Oscar winner Angelina Jolie--is an adventure that's enthralled by what bodies can do. Lara Croft, Tomb Raider's Indiana Jones–esque protagonist, has long been a pop culture punchline for the disproportionate size of her breasts, and one of the many ways this Tomb Raider demonstrates self-awareness is by showcasing all the amazing feats that can be performed by that much-ogled physique. Like the Themyscira warriors in Wonder Woman who skirmished in ways that made sense for the female body, this Lara gets to execute fight choreography that looks and feels realistic for the figure we see on screen. Another point in this Tomb Raider's favor: It's a 180-degree turn from Jolie's smirking, statuesque pinup, a cartoonish male fantasy who practically haunted her ancestral castle in silky, flowing robes, like a superhot Miss Havisham.

International Business Times

The first trailer for the new "Tomb Raider" reboot was released Wednesday, and it seems like fans are enjoying the video much more than the poster that was released earlier this week. The first official poster for "Tomb Raider" was criticized by many who believe star Alicia Vikander's neck is photoshopped to the point where it seems unnatural. In fact, it seems like many fans are pretty excited for the new movie. The "Tomb Raider" promo video makes it clear that this is a reboot that will start at the beginning of Lara's story. The trailer shows Lara (Vikander) getting a message from her dead father.

How Did Angelina Jolie Land The Role Of Lara Croft In 'Tomb Raider'?

International Business Times

Angelina Jolie is one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood, but even she did not receive any special treatment while auditioning for the role of Lara Croft in "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." Instead, Jolie's troubled past spoke for itself. In the excerpt written by "Tomb Raider" executive Sherry Lansing for The Hollywood Reporter, it was revealed that Jolie's troubled past was what helped her get cast in the 2001 movie. "This troubled and dangerous aspect in her reputation actually helped the character," director Simon West said in "Leading Lady: Sherry Lansing and the Making of a Hollywood Groundbreaker." West also recalled Jolie's determination to play the lead role in the movie. At that time, the award-winning actress just won an Oscar for "Girl, Interrupted."


Game changer

BBC News

Lara Croft, who turns 20 today, has been described as all of these. Born at the height of Britpop, the female protagonist of computer game Tomb Raider became one of the pillars of Cool Britannia - but also provoked the ire of feminists who criticised her sexualised image. Her journey took in two Hollywood films, numerous magazine covers and advertising campaigns but began in the comparatively unglamorous English city of Derby. Tomb Raider was created by a small team of people working for Core Design, a video game developer founded in the city in 1988. "The story goes that within the industry it wasn't easy to sell a female heroine," says Heather Gibson, one of the six developers who created the original game.
