There have been a lot of bad ‘X-Men’ movies: “X-Men: The Last Stand” (‘06), “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” (‘09), “X-Men: Apocalypse” (‘16), “Dark Phoenix” (‘19), “The New Mutants” (‘20) …

We’ve been waiting to hear more about this one. Sam Esmail’s “Leave the World Behind” finally has a trailer. It will open the 37th AFI Film Festival next month and has already been dated to stream via Netflix on December 8th.

A poor box-office weekend for the industry. The lack of actor promotion is starting to have an effect on performance, especially when it comes to Gareth Edwards’ “The Creator.”

Nicolas Cage has been on a roll these last five years. He’s now starred in four critically-acclaimed performances, “Mandy,” “Pig,” “Dream Scenario,” and “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.”

Garth Davis’ “Foe” screened for press at the New York Film Festival, and the reactions aren’t good. Scratch this one off as any kind of contender.

The Miami Herald’s Rene Rodriguez, a buddy of mine, screened Solondz’s sickly twisted “Happiness” for his film students last week. The reaction was, shall we say, of profound outrage:

Still missing from action, since the infamous 2019 Cannes screening of “Mektoub: My Love — Intermezzo,” Abdelatif Kechiche seems to have found his next project.

Many had their hearts torn to pieces by the death of Bambi's mother. It’s the most iconic scene of the entire film, and has surely traumatized many who first saw it.

Oceangate, the submersible tragedy that caught the world’s attention this past summer, is being turned into a movie, with E. Brian Dobbins set to co-produce.

One of the real bummers of the SAG-AFTRA strike was the production halting of 93-year-old Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2.”

Powered by good reviews, the latest installment in the ‘Saw’ franchise, “Saw X”, is destined to top the box office this weekend (unless “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie” slightly overperforms).

Whenever the topic of DiCaprio’s acting talents comes into conversation, it’s either he’s overrated or underrated, there’s no in-between.

It’s quite amazing how the legendary Michael Caine is still acting in movies. He’s 90 years old and has “The Great Escaper” being released very soon in the UK.

James Cameron was at Beyond Fest to talk about his “first really big, kind of mega-budget movie,” 1989’s The Abyss. He described it as a film that “wasn’t kind of a slam dunk in the way Aliens was.”

The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in early September to bewildered reviews. This is easily the worst-received film of Polanski’s career and, especially with this reception, it’ll probably not get theatrically released in the United States and France.

This is big news considering Campion hadn’t released a film in over 12 years before 2021’s critically acclaimed, and Oscar-winning, “The Power of the Dog.”

Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2” shut down its production on July 13th, just hours before the SAG-AFTRA strike began. Due to the ongoing strike, the shutdown is costing Paramount/Universal $600,000 per week.

After it was test-screened to surprisingly good notices, I decided to attend Tuesday morning’s press screening of “Saw X.” Did I expect the positive reviews that it’s gotten so far? No. An 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 30 reviews, is ridiculous.

Andrey Zvyagintsev, the Russian filmmaker behind “Loveless” and “Leviathan,” will be directing his next film, “Jupiter,” in Spain and France next spring.

A listing in this week’s Production Weekly has a sequel to Dan Trachtenberg‘s “Prey” now in development at HULU. The first film, a distant “Predator” spin-off, was very well-reviewed.
