First things first, you’ve seen the trailer for “The Fabelmans.” It’s exactly what you think it will be. There are no surprises or narrative risks, it’s quite literally “The Steven Spielberg Story.”

Here’s something to cheer you up on a Wednesday morning. The first still, that I know of at least, of Woody Allen’s upcoming Paris-set thriller.

We have a full-length trailer. “Bohemian Rhapsody” vibes all over this one. One can easily imagine this Whitney Houston biopic becoming a box-office hit.

Scott Feinberg’s latest predictions seem 90% accurate to my eyes, but that remaining 10% …

It was obvious and almost certainly conclusive that French critics were going to love James Gray’s “Armageddon Time.” After all, it is the French, along with a very vocal cabal in New York City, that have praised and given much-needed legs to Gray’s career.

Toronto will be known as the place where Florian Zeller’s “The Son” officially crashed and burned. It currently sits at 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is not the reception Sony Pictures Classics expected for the film. It is now being released November 25th.

Sundance will be announcing their entire lineup in late November. This will be the first edition of the Park City-set festival to take place in-person since 2020.

Quentin Tarantino’s new nonfiction novel “Cinema Speculation” just arrived in the mail. This is Tarantino playing film critic and writing about his love for cinema. I’ll eventually share my thoughts.

An Oscar host has been found and it’s none other than Jimmy Ki … zzzz. Jimmy Kimmel. It’s Jimmy Kimmel. I guess Chris Rock declined the Academy’s invite.
