�K�i&���B4�G6���s�JJHMWD��'jÑGVV1k[+��=؃���˙I/*�Q��h�/Z�;�lh�IwlN PUNE: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is expected to delay the state-wide deworming campaign scheduled for December 4 due to shortage of albendazole tablets, officials said. The deworming campaign is slated to be conducted across 17 districts of Maharashtra on December 4 with a mop-up round scheduled on December 10. In Pune district, the district health officer and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) have already received the stock of medicines for the campaign. However, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has not yet received the stock of medicines. A senior officer from the health department on condition of anonymity said, “The PMC and PCMC were supposed to receive the drug supply from Mumbai. However, samples of the tablets in Mumbai failed to meet the required standards as per the laboratory reports. This has caused a statewide shortage of medicines and priority will be given to areas with tribal populations if the medicine stock is made available.” As part of the campaign, around 4.50 lakh children aged one to 19 years in Pune city, 1.50 lakh children in Pune Rural, and 1.70 lakh children in Pimpri-Chinchwad will be administered albendazole tablets, said officials. Dr Nina Borade, health chief of the PMC, said, “We have not received any stock of medicines due to some quality issue with the medicines in Mumbai. The health department is trying to source medicines from Telangana. We hope that the medicines will be received at the earliest. In case of failure to get the medicines on time, we will be forced to postpone the campaign for Pune city. However, all other arrangements have been made for the campaign and the department is prepared for the drive.” Dr Laxman Gophane, health chief of the PCMC, said that earlier, they were asked to get medicines from Mumbai but later, the health department asked them to collect medicines from Buldhana. “We have an eligible population of 1.70 lakh children in the Pimpri-Chinchwad area. A stock of 1.90 lakh tablets has been received by us and the campaign in Pimpri-Chinchwad will be held as per schedule,” he said. Dr Nagnath Yempalay said that for Pune Rural, a stock of 1.60 lakh tablets has been received by them from Buldhana. Similar to the PCMC, they too were supposed to get the medicines from Mumbai but the health department later changed the source of supply. Teachers, Anganwadi workers and ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activists) workers were trained to administer the tablets to children. “Besides, ASHA workers and other health staff will create awareness and mobilise children to be dewormed on that day,” he said.

You might know as the mind behind the biggest book and television show in history: . But what you probably aren’t aware of is that he’s also self-financed four short films based on the tales of a dear friend. In the early 1960s, a 15-year-old Martin in Bayonne, New Jersey, was in search of a very rare DC comic. “ #28 was very important,” the literary giant tells . “Because it was the first appearance of the Justice League of America.” The author managed to find and buy the comic — for a quarter — off of a fellow teenage boy in Arlington, Texas. This boy was named Howard Waldrop, and it was the beginning of a life-long friendship. “I love the guy. I miss him still,” Martin says. “He was certainly my oldest friend in the world of science fiction and fantasy.” Waldrop was an American science fiction author who worked primarily in short fiction. He spent most of his life in Austin, Texas, often combining elements such as alternative history, pop culture, the American South, old movies or classical mythology into his writing. His work was, in parts, celebrated — in 2021, he was honored with the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. Waldrop is generally considered more of a cult figure compared to his peer, Martin, who went on to see huge mainstream success. Martin and Waldrop remained friends all the way up until January this year, when on the 14th, Waldrop died from a stroke. “We started writing letters to each other, actual letters — that was something we had in those days,” Martin says of the comic purchase. “We just hit it off long distance. We were both aspiring writers. That was our first exchange. It was in 1963, there was a guy named John F. Kennedy in the White House. [But] I did not actually meet Howard in person until 1972.” Now Martin has paid homage to his old friend by producing a short film — one that he hopes will be an Oscar contender — based on one of Waldrop’s short stories: , produced by Martin, was written by Michael Cassutt and directed by Mark Raso. The half-hour movie is adapted from Waldrop’s short of the same name (which won him a Nebula Award in 1980). Martin and Waldrop’s relationship braved the stormy seas of Martin’s stratospheric rise to fame when acquired the television rights to in 2008. The same success had not quite found Waldrop. “Howard was not commercial,” Martin says. “I wrote a lot of short stories and sold them, but eventually I started writing novels and series, because you can’t live on short stories. They didn’t pay very much.” This isn’t to say Waldrop wasn’t talented — quite the opposite, says Martin: “He was an amazing writer. There was no one like Howard.” And it’s not as if Waldrop’s career was without acclaim. But his peers, including Martin, worried about his finances and health towards the end of his life. With the financial success Martin enjoyed thanks to , he wanted to strike a deal to turn some of Waldrop’s stories into short films, but it wasn’t easy. “It’s hard to get anyone to finance a short film,” Martin tells . “Movie theaters don’t want to show short films. I own a movie theater myself, so I know that. And it’s hard to get the big studios to make them. I tried for a number of years... I finally gave up.” Then the author decided to break “the cardinal rule of Hollywood.” With Waldrop’s health deteriorating, Martin was determined to honor his friend by bringing his work to the big screen. “The cardinal rule of Hollywood is: never use your own money. I broke that. I [thought], ‘God damn it, I’m gonna use my own money,'” he adds. “So we put these films into production — three of them are now finished. Two more are in post-production.” , starring Felicia Day ( , ), has been shot alongside adaptations of Waldrop’s short stories and . The movies are now screening on the festival circuit, with already securing a best short film nomination at the HollyShorts Film Festival (the Oscar-qualifying short film fest based in Los Angeles) and a special mention nod at the DuHok Film Festival in Iraq. is about a professor, Paula Linberl, who, after learning that the supposedly extinct dodo bird might still exist, sets out on a cross-country expedition to unravel the mystery. “I think the environmentalism is the thing that you look at,” Martin says of the tale’s appeal. “But the story is fun. When you read Howard’s story, you’re going to learn a lot more about dodos than you ever possibly thought you wanted to know.” [ .] Martin was able to show his friend a rough cut of the film before he died. “I was very thrilled that he liked it a lot,” he says. “And I said, ‘Well, we’re almost finished. We got a few more post-production things to do, but we’ll show it to you.’ But of course, that never happened. He died six days after he saw the rough cut.” There was one change made to Waldrop’s original piece of writing: switching the lead from “Paul” to “Paula.” Martin says the gender didn’t matter, but hints at changes in the adaptations of his own books — . “Maybe I’m one of the few people in Hollywood who still thinks that when you adapt a work of art, a novel, a short story, you should do a faithful adaptation,” he says. “[It] annoys me too much because they change things and I don’t think they generally improve them.” Is it fair to say Martin is using his own career to get Waldrop a level of recognition he never quite achieved? “I suppose you could say that,” Martin responds. “I hope these films will get him a lot more readers, because he has a lot of books and he has a lot of short stories. If these little 30-minute shorts do well enough, if they can earn at least some of their money, then we’ll do more of them. Howard has 100 stories at least, but they’re all wonderful and unique in their own way.” Of course, it wouldn’t be a conversation with George R. R. Martin without asking how he’s balancing these projects with the long-awaited sixth and final book, , in his series. “Unfortunately, I am 13 years late,” he says “Every time I say that, I’m [like], ‘How could I be 13 years late?’ I don’t know, it happens a day at a time.” He continues: “But that’s still a priority. A lot of people are already writing obituaries for me. [They’re saying] ‘Oh, he’ll never be finished.’ Maybe they’re right. I don’t know. I’m alive right now! I seem pretty vital!” He adds that he could never retire — he’s “not a golfer.” For now, Martin is focused on his love for Waldrop. The adaptations of his short stories are, in many ways, an ode to a 61-year friendship, that all started with the Justice League of America. “That comic book is probably worth $10,000 today,” Martin says of #28. “But Howard never cared about that. We would laugh about it together. I was lucky to have friends like that.” THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day More from The Hollywood ReporterNEW YORK (AP) — Angelina Jolie never expected to hit all the notes. But finding the breath of Maria Callas was enough to bring things out of Jolie that she didn’t even know were in her. “All of us, we really don’t realize where things land in our body over a lifetime of different experiences and where we hold it to protect ourselves,” Jolie said in a recent interview. “We hold it in our stomachs. We hold it in our chest. We breathe from a different place when we’re nervous or we’re sad. “The first few weeks were the hardest because my body had to open and I had to breathe again,” she adds. “And that was a discovery of how much I wasn’t.” In Pablo Larraín’s “Maria,” which Netflix released in theaters Wednesday before it begins streaming on Dec. 11, Jolie gives, if not the performance of her career, then certainly of her last decade. Beginning with 2010’s “In the Land of Blood and Honey,” Jolie has spent recent years directing films while prioritizing raising her six children. “So my choices for quite a few years were whatever was smart financially and short. I worked very little the last eight years,” says Jolie. “And I was kind of drained. I couldn’t for a while.” But her youngest kids are now 16. And for the first time in years, Jolie is back in the spotlight, in full movie-star mode. Her commanding performance in “Maria” seems assured of bringing Jolie her third Oscar nomination. (She won supporting actress in 2000 for “Girl, Interrupted.”) For an actress whose filmography might lack a signature movie, “Maria” may be Jolie's defining role. Jolie's oldest children, Maddox and Pax, worked on the set of the film. There, they saw a version of their mother they hadn't seen before. “They had certainly seen me sad in my life. But I don’t cry in front of my children like that,” Jolie says of the emotion Callas dredged up in her. “That was a moment in realizing they were going to be with me, side by side, in this process of really understanding the depth of some of the pain I carry.” Jolie, who met a reporter earlier this fall at the Carlyle Hotel, didn't speak in any detail of that pain. But it was hard not to sense some it had to do with her lengthy and ongoing divorce from Brad Pitt, with whom she had six children. Just prior to meeting, a judge allowed Pitt’s remaining claim against Jolie, over the French winery Château Miraval, to proceed. On Monday, a judge ruled that Pitt must disclose documents Jolie’s legal team have sought that they allege include “communications concerning abuse.” Pitt has denied ever being abusive. The result of the U.S. presidential election was also just days old, though Jolie — special envoy for the United Nations Refugee Agency from 2012 to 2022 – wasn’t inclined to talk politics. Asked about Donald Trump’s win , she responded, “Global storytelling is essential,” before adding: “That’s what I’m focusing on. Listening. Listening to the voices of people in my country and around the world.” Balancing such things — reports concerning her private life, questions that accompany someone of her fame — is a big reason why Jolie is so suited to the part of Callas. The film takes place during the American-born soprano’s final days. (She died of a heart attack at 53 in 1977.) Spending much of her time in her grand Paris apartment, Callas hasn’t sung publicly in years; she’s lost her voice. Imprisoned by the myth she’s created, Callas is redefining herself and her voice. An instructor tells her he wants to hear “Callas, not Maria." The movie, of course, is more concerned with Maria. It’s Larrain’s third portrait of 20th century female icon, following “Jackie” (with Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy) and “Spencer” (with Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana). As Callas, Jolie is wonderfully regal — a self-possessed diva who deliciously, in lines penned by screenwriter Steven Knight, spouts lines like: “I took liberties all my life and the world took liberties with me.” Asked if she identified with that line, Jolie answered, “Yeah, yeah.” Then she took a long pause. “I’m sure people will read a lot into this and there’s probably a lot I could say but don’t want to feed into,” Jolie eventually continues. “I know she was a public person because she loved her work. And I’m a public person because I love my work, not because I like being public. I think some people are more comfortable with a public life, and I’ve never been fully comfortable with it.” When Larraín first approached Jolie about the role, he screened “Spencer” for her. That film, like “Jackie” and “Maria,” eschews a biopic approach to instead intimately focus on a specific moment of crisis. Larraín was convinced Jolie was meant for the role. “I felt she could have that magnetism,” Larraín says. “The enigmatic diva that’s come to a point in her life where she has to take control of her life again. But the weight of her experience, of her music, of her singing, everything, is on her back. And she carries that. It’s someone who’s already loaded with a life that’s been intense.” “There’s a loneliness that we both share,” Jolie says. “That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think people can be alone and lonely sometimes, and that can be part of who they are.” Larraín, the Chilean filmmaker, grew up in Santiago going to the opera, and he has long yearned to bring its full power and majesty to a movie. In Callas, he heard something that transfixed him. “I hear something near perfection, but at the same time, it’s something that’s about to be destroyed,” Larraín says. “So it’s as fragile and as strong as possible. It lives in both extremes. That’s why it’s so moving. I hear a voice that’s about to be broken, but it doesn’t.” In Callas’ less perfect moments singing in the film, Larraín fuses archival recordings of Callas with Jolie’s own voice. Some mix of the two runs throughout “Maria.” “Early in the process,” Jolie says, “I discovered that you can’t fake-sing opera.” Jolie has said she never sang before, not even karaoke. But the experience has left her with a newfound appreciation of opera and its healing properties. “I wonder if it’s something you lean into as you get older,” Jolie says. “Maybe your depth of pain is bigger, your depth of loss is bigger, and that sound in opera meets that, the enormity of it.” If Larraín’s approach to “Maria” is predicated on an unknowingness, he's inclined to say something similar about his star. “Because of media and social media, some people might think that they know a lot about Angelina,” he says. “Maria, I read nine biographies of her. I saw everything. I read every interview. I made this movie. But I don’t think I would be capable of telling you who she was us. So if there’s an element in common, it’s that. They carry an enormous amount of mystery. Even if you think that you know them, you don’t.” Whether “Maria” means more acting in the future for Jolie, she's not sure. “There's not a clear map,” she says. Besides, Jolie isn't quite ready to shake Callas. “When you play a real person, you feel at some point that they become your friend,” says Jolie. “Right now, it’s still a little personal. It’s funny, I’ll be at a premiere or I’ll walk into a room and someone will start blaring her music for fun, but I have this crazy internal sense memory of dropping to my knees and crying.”
