In an interview with Brazilian outlet, “Poor Things” cinematographer Robbie Ryan confirms that Yorgos Lanthimos’ “AND,” starring Emma Stone, will be released in 2024.

Only half of the film had been shot before the July 14 strike began. This is a crushing blow for theaters, with Deadline reporting that we can soon expect more summer titles to get delayed.

Just when you thought the SAG-AFTRA was going to drag on to next year … a group of A-list actors, including George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Emma Stone and Scarlett Johansson, are proposing a $150M deal to SAG-AFTRA.
