According to Kelvin Harrison Jr, Barry Jenkins’ prequel to the “The Lion King,” is close to being done:

I find it odd that “L.A. Confidential” author James Ellroy is using the excuse of director Curtis Hanson being dead to attack the film adaptation of his beloved novel.

Speaking to THR, as “The Old Oak” is set to be his 15th film premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, Loach, who turns 87 in June, confessed that “realistically, it would be hard to do a feature film again.

As someone who really liked Kelly Fremon Craig’s last film, “The Edge of Seventeen,” I can’t say I was particularly taken by “Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.” It’s a very sweet movie, with good intentions, but not necessarily involving.

Remember that hilarious video that had David Lynch talking about how watching a film on your phone is not really, technically, like watching the film?

I’m not saying that Ari Aster’s originally intended 207 minute cut of “Beau is Afraid” might have been a better film, but it does confirm last year’s intel that the film was too long and A24 urged him to snip it.

Jim Jarmusch started in the industry when independent film was just about to boom. He was fairly lucky in that regard when it came to his low-do 1984 classic “Stranger Than Paradise.”

Is it just me or is Bill Hader turning into this ultra-talented filmmaker? Some of the shots he creates in “Barry” are absurdly impressive — especially the action sequences. The guy know how to build up taut, tense and terrific setups.

Reshoots for Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” occurred in Los Angeles last week. These weren't minor ones either, Margot Robbie was spotted on the set.

Now, think of an American director who has had his film debut, at the earliest, from 2000 on, who has built a solid reputation and has had a legitimately important impact on cinema.

I’m being told that it might be weeks, if not months, before they begin shooting, but they haven’t figured out a firm date yet.

It looks as though a vote took place within the Cannes committee as to whether or not Catherine Corsini’s controversial “Le Retour” should be added to competition.

It’s not good news that Ari Aster’s “Beau is Afraid” stands to lose a lot of money. I’ve been pulling for this risk-taking film to break even, but odds are that it definitely will not be making its money back.

A fairly polarizing topic in entertainment these days is “race-swapping,” or intentionally changing the race of established characters.

Three years after “DNA”, filmmaker Maïwenn returns to Cannes with “Jeanne du Barry,” her first period film, this one with Johnny Depp as King Louis XV.

You just know the Razzies are going to have a field day with this one.

Daniel Richtman is reporting that Robert Pattinson is in talks to star in a Chloe Zhao’s “Dracula.”

There have been nine films released in the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise , they have amassed a total of $6.6 billion worldwide over the past two decades.

Leave it to 36-year-old Ari Aster to pull a Scorsese and tell us that the cinema he loves so dearly is in its final days.

Many were wondering if today was the day for additional titles to be announced by the Cannes Film Festival, but it turns out that the sole announcement for this week will be Pixar’s “Elemental.”
