I’m sure you’ve heard about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s ongoing public feud, which has hit the four-year mark this year, and has led to Depp finally countersuing his ex-wife and “Aquaman” actress in a $50 million lawsuit for defamation.

Despite Variety confirming yesterday that a new David Lynch film would world premiere at Cannes (not to mention Kaleem Aftab doubling down on the rumor) Lynch went on a denial spree today, telling the media he had no idea what the hell people were talking about.

Sources are telling IndieWire’s Eric Kohn that Adam Sandler and the Safdies are already “cooking up another project”.

An interview with Paul Verhoeven on The Sunday Times has the Dutch filmmaker of “Basic Instinct” and “Starship Troopers” complaining about today’s sexless Hollywood movies:

UPDATE: “Women Talking” will finally not be going to Cannes, you can speculate all you want as for the reasons why, but I’ll refrain.

Abdelatif Kechiche has already moved on from the post-production hell that was “Mektoub: Canto Duo” and is now preparing a new film, this one shot in Tunisia and produced by Why Not.

I trust Gregory Elwood’s Intel. He lives in L.A. and people in the industry there tend to have loose lips, a self-prescribed nature to free flow schmooze. So, when Elwood says that he’s hearing Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” might get pushed to 2023, then you listen.

Variety’s Elsa Keslassy has confirmed what readers of this site already knew: David Lynch will be at Cannes with a new feature-length film.

I did not want to do this, but these last few days have revitalized the potential for a higher quality Cannes competition than previously anticipated.

Nicolas Cage did an AMA on Reddit yesterday and he came off as a real humble guy. No surprise there. I’ve never met him, would love to, but all the accounts I’ve heard are that of a humbled, slightly shy and eccentric fella.

it’s already a risky endeavour test-screening a new James Gray film, the 52-year-old director has the kind of classicist filmmaking style that the mainstream might deem “boring.” Critics, especially the French, love him and that’s why he’s likely headed to Cannes — yet again — this coming May.

The ironic, and hilarious, thing about the AMPAS‘ 10-year ban of Will Smith is that people like Harvey Weinstein, and Kevin Spacey are still technically not banned from the Oscars.

I was under the impression that Claire Denis was not going to submit “The Stars at Noon” for Cannes. During a Lincoln Center screening of “Fire,” a couple of months ago, she had mentioned how she was taking a break and not in any hurry to complete it.

Vanity Fair’s Richard Lawson stated on his podcast that Ari Aster’s “Disappointment Blvd” clocks in at 4 hours. This would surprise me considering the fact that I was hearing Aster has been told by A24 to snip it down to 3 hours.

Robert Duvall is starting the rumors again when it comes to Francis Ford Coppola’s upcoming “Megalopolis.” The legendary actor claims that Coppola recently approached Christian Bale for the lead role.

It’s been 4 years since Lynch’s “Twin Peaks: The Return” changed the TV landscape forever, but, more importantly, signaled the return of a true master.
