"Game of Thrones" star Maisie Williams is happy that "Game of Thrones" will finish after two more seasons as she feels "good things" must come to an end.
	The 19-year-old star, who has earned an Emmy nomination for playing revenge-seeking Arya Stark in the fantasy drama, says show creators David Benioff and D B Weiss always had the end in sight despite its massive popularity across the globe.
	"Good things must come to an end or they're not good anymore. It doesn't last forever and we've done what we came to do, it's time to wrap this up, and it will have the ending it was always supposed to have, and that's very special," she told Variety in an interview.
	"David and Dan started writing this show knowing the end, not knowing that it might actually come around and we might be allowed to make that many (seasons) - at the beginning we were just willing to make one (season)."
	The season 7 of the show will arrive a little later than expected as the makers had to delay the production due .

Filmmaker Woody Allen says he only does interviews to promote his movies because he has to as he feels the press does not help his movies.
	The iconic director and actor has countless films to his names, from drama "Match Point" to rom-com "Midnight in Paris."
	But not all of them have fared well under the scrutiny of critics over the years, and Allen, 80, is adamant that doing media makes no difference to the film's success, reported Guardian.
	"I never thought there was any point doing press. I don't think anybody ever reads an interview and says: 'Hey, I want to see that movie!'" Allen said.
	"Well, the publicity people think it is important. So, I do it to be nice. But I don't think - and I tell them this - that it matters. And they say: ''Just keep it quiet and do it.' I don't want to be someone who takes the money but refuses to help."
	Allen's latest release is Cafe Society, set in 1930s Hollywood and follows a love triangle between Bobby (Jesse Eisenberg), Vonnie (Kristen ...

One of the world's premier electronic music festivals is expanding to India, seeing a major new market in the billion-plus country once off the radar for Western concert promoters.
