Legendary filmmaker William Friedkin passed away in the summer, but not without directing one final movie — his first one since 2011’s “Killer Joe.” We now have a trailer for “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.”

Well, consider me surprised by France’s selection of Trần Anh Hùng’s “The Taste of Things” as their Oscar selection for Best International Film. Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” was snubbed by the selection committee.

These days, there’s not much to get excited about when it comes to “Star Wars.” A lot of fans lost interest after Disney’s botched trilogy. There’s been in a revolt in the Galaxy.

The film is now back on, scheduled to be filmed in Fuerteventura, Spain. The production schedule hasn’t been announced yet. However, filming is expected to begin once the SAG-AFTRA strike concludes.

Enfant terrible of the 1980s art scene, Julian Schnabel went on to become a critically-acclaimed director with “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” and “Before Night Falls.”

Glazer picked up the Grand Prix and the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes with the pic, which will be released by A24 in the US on 8 December 2023. A24 has yet to announce the UK release date.

The film screened at Telluride in early September. It got praised left and right. It’s maybe the most critically acclaimed title of the fall fests, alongside Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.”

In a recent interview with Collider, filmmaker Alexander Payne gave an update regarding the current status of his upcoming “Election” sequel, titled “Tracy Flick Can’t Win.”

So far, the reviews are pretty bad, with only 47% of critics liking it. The fact that Mel Gibson is in it does not help this series’ cause at all. Critics are not even hiding their disdain for Gibson in their reviews:

After winning the top award at TIFF, Cord Jefferson’s directorial debut, “American Fiction”, is switching up its release plans from Novemver 3rd to December 15th.

When the project was announced last year, it felt like an odd match in having “Pig” director Michael Sarnoski helming this franchise film, especially as he was just coming off directing one of 2021’s best-reviewed films.

It’ll be odd seeing an 80-year-old Bickle uttering: “You talkin’ to me,” in the series of ads being filmed in London this week. “He’s going to be Travis Bickle, saying some phrases and playing up to it,” an unnamed source says.

A report from Forbes has the budget for the upcoming 93-minute superhero flick at a whopping $274.8 million

A few years before Jason Reitman directed his 2019 “Ghostbusters”reboot, there was Paul Feig’s 2016 all-female take on the franchise. That film resulted in contentious debate as to whether or not it was a warranted path for Sony to jump into.

Terrence Davis is the filmmaker behind “Distant Voices, Still Lives” and “The Day Closes.” It’s always worth checking up on what he does next.

‘Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ hits theaters on November 17th, 2023. A trailer has been released for the film.

I’m pleased to report that John Carney has maybe made his best film with “Flora and Son”. There’s barely any manipulative emotions in this one, it’s just this beautifully rendered homage to motherhood and music.

Well, the guaranteed win is clearly gone. Lily Gladstone was said to be the Supporting Actress frontrunner for her wonderful turn in “Killers of the Flower Moon,” but that’s no more.
