UPDATE: The trailer, more of a teaser, has been released.

This was a bad, very bad, summer movie season.

Netflix has announced a few key release dates for the fall season. The below titles chosen are their top awards season contenders. I’m sure I’m missing some under-the-radar films …

It turns out, that not only will Damien Chazelle be having an “In Conversation With …” at TIFF, but he will also be presenting exclusive footage of his upcoming “Babylon.”

We were wondering what was going on with this one. We can now scratch it off our “What’s Left?” piece.

I’ve always thought of William Friedkin as one of the more important, and underrated, US auteurs of the ‘70s.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu produced, wrote, directed, edited and composed “Bardo.” Who are we kidding here? It’s his “Roma,” or at least that’s what he’s aiming for.

Known for his lengthy 3+ hour documentaries, the legendary Frederick Wiseman is back in fiction, directing a 64-minute movie about a long term relationship between a man and a woman.

Oddly enough, one of the most recurrent questions I get via email is whether Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde” will be theatrically released.

Last month, we reported the rumor that Shia LaBeouf had joined Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” This casting news surprised many, given that Laboeuf has been persona non grata in Tinseltown for over a year now.

Filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev had a serious bout with COVID last year.

When Darren Aronofsky was adapting Samuel D. Hunter’s divisive play I figured there was a chance it would be a “bottle” movie.

After its mixed response at Cannes, George Miller’s “Three Thousand Years of Longing“ was obviously going to underperform at the box-office. Wasn’t this the movie Variety’s Clayton Davis swore could be a Best Picture contender after seeing it on the Croisette?

A total of eight titles have been sent over to Academy voters for Oscar consideration.

The miserablist in me really wants to dislike how the simple-minded “Top Gun: Maverick” could have become such a phenomenal success at the box-office.

Florence Pugh could clearly see a “Don’t Worry Darling” trainwreck coming from miles away. She’s decided to “severely limit her promotional press” at the Venice Film Festival [via Deadline].

If you had told me this trailer was a comedy skit, I would have believed you.

I’ve been emailing the last few weeks trying to get some answers as to why “The Son” and “The Whale” are not going to Telluride. As far as I’m concerned, those are the major omissions from the upcoming edition of that fest.
