Timothée Chalamet has spent the past few months turning the release of Marty Supreme into something closer to a cultural scavenger hunt than a standard movie rollout. On a cool October night he posted a simple message on Instagram telling fans to show up at Regal Times Square at nine. No studio polish. No official announcement.

Letterboxd is moving from a simple place to track and rate films to a service where you can actually watch them. On Wednesday December 10 the company will launch its new Video Store in twenty three countries. It is a major step for a platform built on film discovery and on the habits of its more than twenty four million members.

The Video Store will not work like a subscription service. You pay only for the films you want to watch and you get a forty eight hour window once you start a title. Prices vary by country and by film. In the United States the launch titles will cost between 3.99 and 19.99 to rent. What makes the store stand out is its focus on curation. The team behind Letterboxd used millions of watchlists reviews and signals from its community to decide what to offer at launch. Every title has been chosen because members showed interest in it and because many of the films have been almost impossible to find in certain regions.

Tamannaah Bhatia has stepped into the world of V Shantaram with her new role as Jayashree in the upcoming biographical drama “V Shantaram.” The film traces the life and legacy of one of Indian cinema’s earliest visionaries, and Bhatia joins Siddhant Chaturvedi who plays the filmmaker himself.

The makers released a first look of Bhatia as Jayashree, the respected actor remembered for films such as “Dr. Kotnis Ki Amar Kahani,” “Shakuntala,” “Chandra Rao More” and “Dahej.” Jayashree was also V Shantaram’s second wife and an important presence in his creative life. The poster shows Bhatia in a pink Nauvari saree with a look that brings back the tone and texture of early Indian cinema. It hints at the scale of the film and the attention given to the era it hopes to recreate.
