\n\tHarvey Keitel<\/a> stars as a celebrated acting teacher in \u201cThe Method<\/a>,\u201d the first feature from director and co-writer Gaurav Bhardwaj, produced by \u201cCTRL\u201d banner Travelin Bone Entertainment alongside Imagination Infinite Motion Pictures.<\/p>\n

\n\tMina Sundwall (\u201cMurdaugh: Death in the Family,\u201d \u201cLost in Space\u201d) also features, as do Rakshit Bhuchar and Rohan Maletira, both of whom make their feature debuts with the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe story plays out in New York\u2019s cutthroat acting scene, where a talented Indian actor chasing his craft falls under the sway of Keitel\u2019s teacher. As ambition, friendship and artistic ideals pull against one another, the mentor challenges every one of them to consider what they would give up to succeed.<\/p>\n

\n\tProduction has wrapped in the New York and New Jersey area, and the film is expected to release in 2027.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018The Method\u2019 is not simply a film about acting,\u201d said Bhardwaj. \u201cIt explores the journeys of four artists: an Indian actor, a Canadian actor, an American playwright and director, and a revered acting teacher portrayed by the legendary actor, Harvey Keitel. At its core, it is a film about aspiration and relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBhardwaj added that every character and arc carried personal weight for him, since at some point in his own creative career he had stood where each of them stands. \u201cThe film explores the universal struggle to preserve our identities when our ambitions begin demanding that we sacrifice parts of ourselves. I want audiences to experience the same conflict our characters face \u2013 the tension between the relationships we value and the ambitions we choose to pursue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTravelin Bone was set up by Marc Sternberg, Steve Garrow and Naresh Malik. Its Netflix original film \u201cCTRL\u201d preceded \u201cThe Method,\u201d and the company is building out a film and TV slate aimed at both Indian and global viewers.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWith \u2018The Method,\u2019 we are bringing together exceptional talent and creative teams from both countries,\u201d said Garrow, the company\u2019s co-founder and CEO. \u201cIt has been a wonderful experience working with Gaurav and witnessing the clarity and confidence with which he has approached his first feature film, particularly alongside an iconic actor like Harvey Keitel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGarrow also credited Sundwall with real depth and presence on screen and said the two newcomers had delivered work beyond what he had expected.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c\u2018The Method\u2019 reflects the philosophy of my company in many ways,\u201d said Lalit Bhatnagar, founder of Imagination Infinite Motion Pictures. \u201cWe are at a moment when content is becoming increasingly global \u2013 and so is talent. The traditional boundaries between industries and markets are becoming less relevant, creating an extraordinary opportunity to bring together artists from different backgrounds to tell compelling stories.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harvey Keitel stars as a celebrated acting teacher in \u201cThe Method,\u201d the first feature from director and co-writer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364633,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[135218,9,24,55,54,56,135219],"class_list":["post-364632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-harvey-keitel","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-the-method"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
