Maestro scheduled reshoots and touch-ups in New York City a month or so ago. Now a very new cut was screened this week. This person saw both cuts.

I’m being told that Pedro Almodovar’s “Strange Way of Life,” which just screened at Cannes, will probably be packaged for theatrical release …

Ansari started shooting “Good Fortune” last week only to have production halted by WGA protesters yesterday. There is no new date for production to resume. The guy just can’t catch a break.

A humanist at heart, Kore-eda attempts a Rashomon-style film consisting of child actors, and a few adults.

Unless some last minute change occurs, we’ll be getting our first look at Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” tomorrow. A 90-second trailer I’m told.

I was lined up an hour queuing for Almodóvar in pouring rain, only to be among the hundreds turned away at gate. With a ticket.

As I promised a few days ago, here is the full-length trailer for “Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning” …

As Steve McQueen was presenting his 246 minute doc “Occupied City,” moderator Thierry Fremaux kinda spilled the beans about next year’s Cannes competition.

Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux was a guest on Le Figaro’s Culture podcast. He actually spoke at length about Scorsese.

Johnny Depp was bombarded with questions at this morning’s “Jeanne de Barry” press conference. Funny thing is that he’s not featured that much in the film.

The 76th Cannes Film Festival officially began with Maiwenn’s “Jeanne du Barry.” I’ll have a review up by tomorrow morning.

During Tuesday’s press conference, Larson was asked how she "felt about Depp's film opening the festival" and if she planned on seeing it.

It’s almost impossible to find info on Cannes jury deliberations. The process is always ultra-secretive and there’s usually a code of honor that comes in being part of a jury that decides on the film world’s greatest prize.

There are some real interesting nuggets of information in today’s Deadline interview with Martin Scorsese.

Ranking superhero movies is something I’ve done in the past. Despite only liking only half a dozen from the MCU, there are some treasures to be found elsewhere.

Cannes, opening night. Here I am, ready to go. I secured a ticket for the only “Killers of the Flower Moon” screening. Thank the cinematic heavens.

I don’t see the point of watching any of the ‘Avatar’ movies at home, especially without the 3D. What’s the pull?

One of the biggest omissions from this coming edition of the Cannes Film Festival was Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.”
