Hidden inside Variety’s drooly Olivia Wilde interview is an intriguing tidbit about a film having nothing to do with Wilde.

Tomorrow we’ll finally get to see footage of Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise,” which is a little less than ten days away from its world premiere at Venice.

Upon request, I’ve decided to update my Best Director contenders list. Clearly, things have changed since I first published in June.

Via the context of a movie year that had most of its post-March theatrical releases canceled, the number of good movies that actually came out in 2020 were lower than usual. Not even the streaming platforms could save it.

The trailer for Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light” has just been released. It definitely looks beautiful, Roger Dealins photographed this one and his imprint is all over it.

Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” will be having its world premiere on Saturday, September 10th at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The Indie Spirit awards have just solved a problem that didn't exist.

The Toronto International Film Festival released its schedule today. Here are a few noteworthy details:

It was a shocker of an announcement. Last month, The New York Film Festival selected Elegance Bratton‘s “The Inspection” as the closing night film of its upcoming 60th edition. We now have an underwhelming trailer for it

“Breaking,” formerly titled “892,” is a limp riff on “Dog Day Afternoon.”

We are around 8 weeks away before production begins on Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.”

I’ll try to be as brief as possible, but I’ve noticed some here speculating that certain films, like “Babylon” and “Amsterdam,” skipping the September/October festivals usually spells trouble in terms of quality and Oscar odds.

Last week, Universal was contractually allowed (per its AMC agreement) to make Jordan Peele’s “Nope” available on VOD

Bruno Dumont’s “The Empire” just started production in France. The goal is a 2023 release, presumably a Cannes premiere.

A24 have set a theatrical release for Owen Kline’s “Funny Pages”, and are also opting to screen it on August 25th for $15.

I was told a couple of months ago that Netflix was prioritizing “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” over any other title they have this fall, and for good reason.

Alright, now that we’re all settled and ready to go, here are the last Best Picture predictions before we head into the intense final four months of this movie year.

It’s almost inevitable that Michael Mann’s “Heat 2” will be starting production next year. There’s a major studio battle already brewing over the rights to the sequel.

The teaser for “Tar” definitely intrigued us. It barely had any actual footage, but rather a slow-motion close-up of Cate Blanchett’s face with a smoke-filled mouth.
