While “Backrooms” and “Obsession” are currently rewriting the Hollywood rule book, this Friday sees the release of what looks like another IP-driven bomb: Amazon/MGM’s “Masters of the Universe.”

The Astaire estate doesn’t want this biopic to happen, saying that Fred “was explicit in his Will that he did not want his life story to be depicted on screen” … and threatened legal action.

Amazon/MGM plans a wide theatrical release for “How to Rob A Bank” over Labor Day weekend, with a premiere date set for September 4, 2026.

The film reunites Wingard and Simon Barrett, the team behind “You’re Next” (2011) and “The Guest” (2014). Wingard is — quite sadly — coming off two massive Godzilla movies.

The new “Barbarella,” set to be directed by Edgar Wright, is “still moving forward,” and Sweeney is “already working” on it under her new producing deal over at Sony.

Major studios and streamers—including Warner Bros., Sony, Universal, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix— were vying for Park’s latest, despite no stars being attached.

Snyder’s version will be a “down and dirty” take on John Carpenter’s film, emphasizing practical effects and real-world locations. The goal appears to be a rougher, more realistic approach to the material.

Netflix wants to continue its partnership with Anna Kendrick. The streamer has teamed up with for her sophomore effort, an adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s bestselling novel “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.”

Lilly says that, despite strong efforts, none of her latest projects have been able to get a greenlight—she believes it’s been a very difficult time to make movies because “fascism” is thriving:

Na’s last film, “The Wailing,” released 10 years ago, played out of competition at Cannes and remains one of the most quietly influential Korean films of the past decade.

If you are actually looking forward to this sequel, here’s our first look — above and below — at Lex Luthor in his warsuit in “Superman: Man of Tomorrow.”

The film blends suburban imagery, cosmic sci-fi, and prehistoric creatures. It comes to us from David Robert Mitchell, who hasn’t premiered a new film in eight years.

“Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew” recently held a test screening of a two-hour cut, though the visual effects were reportedly far from finished, making this a very rough version of the movie.

So far, “Obsession” has grossed $148M worldwide, with $105M of that total coming domestically—and it still hasn’t opened in a number of international markets.

Parsons confirmed that this is only the first chapter in a larger story, with multiple future installments needed to fully explore what he sees as the core of “Backrooms.”

A much-quoted THR article claimed that, with “Juror #2,” Eastwood “wanted to find one last project in order to be able to ride off into the sunset with his head held high.” It was being touted as Eastwood’s “final film.”

‘Mandalorian’ will finish well below franchise expectations domestically. That $165M budget had many figuring the break-even point would be around $400M, but now I’m wondering if it’ll even hit $300M

The film stars Josh O’Connor, Lesley Manville, Frances McDormand, and Damien Lewis, but there isn’t much story information to go on. All we know is that it’s being described as a “gothic mystery” set in 1880s Scotland.

Lucas worked on “THX 1138” and “American Graffiti,” and that became her breakout moment. This led to her working with Martin Scorsese on “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore” and “Taxi Driver.”

Hollywood remaking anything connected to Hitchcock has rarely produced memorable results. Yet the industry keeps trying, despite overwhelming evidence that it’s a fool’s errand.
