Currently in pre-production mode for his upcoming Viagra musical, titled “Rise,” Spike Lee is already circling his next project after that one.

Yes, that’s right, Hammond, who is the one pundit who maybe speaks to the most Oscar voters, is actually —prudently— predicting “All Quiet on the Western Front” to win the big prize on March 12th.

“Priscilla” wrapped its production in December. Coppola is said to have started post on the film in January. Given the March deadline submission for Cannes, you can understand why this film might not be ready.

Todd Field was set to direct with Keanu Reeves cast as the main lead. Then, late last year, they both simultaneously dropped out of the project. THR is now reporting that the series is officially dead and looking for a new home.

I don’t see the point of watching any of the ‘Avatar’ movies at home, without the 3D. What’s the pull? You don’t screen these movies for the stories, but, rather, to be swept away by the visuals.

I had heard about Lionsgate Execs being impressed by a “John Wick 4” cut they saw last year, not to mention the highly positive test-screenings the film received and the conifdent-as-hell official runtime of 2 hours and 49 minutes.

Richard Linklater is a national treasure and should be treated as such. I’ve interviewed the man three times in my life and have experienced nothing but a cordial, resolute and wise individual in the process.

A Paste Magazine interview with Adam Driver has the actor confirming that he’s done shooting Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” He elaborates further on the incredible experience he had:

I’m still skimming through some of the 1600+ ballots of the Sight and Sound poll, but here’s an interesting one.

In a GQ profile, “John Wick 4” actor Donnie Yen basically defend the Chinese Communist Party and castigated Hong Kong freedom protesters.

Deadline has mimicked the Paris Match intel from this weekend — No Miyazaki and No Serebrennikov. Also, no indication of that mysterious David Lynch film showing up.

At this point, I would be absolutely shocked if “Everything Everywhere All At Once” didn’t win Best Picture next Sunday.

Renowned Cahiers du Cinema writer Jacques Aumont says his Sight and Sound ballot isn’t actually is. An imposter seemed to have taken over and cleverly filled it out.

There were some chuckles in certain film circles when it came to critically-acclaimed “RRR” director SS Rajamouli’s “Sight and Sound” ballot, and it definitely was an eclectic batch of populist picks.

UPDATED: This weekend MGM had their first full-blown theatrical success since the legendary studio was bought by Amazon last year.

Should we believe David Ayer when he says his cut of “Suicide Squad” is miles better than the theatrically released 2016 version?

Todd Phillips, Last Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix are currently shooting “Joker: Folie à Deux” in Los Angeles until April. Some photos and videos have leaked online.

After gracing us with “X,” and, especially, “Pearl” this past year, filmmaker Ti West will start production in April on his trilogy capper “MaXXXine.”
