In a new piece in The Wall Street Journal, Martin Scorsese says Leonardo DiCaprio brought an “endless, endless, endless!” amount of improv to his lines, which prompted De Niro and Scorsese to roll their eyes.

The latest numbers have it opening at around $24 million. Not bad. It’s the third-best nationwide opening of Scorsese’s career.

Martin Scorsese is turning 81 next month, he has said that he wants to make “one or two more films”. We’re all pushing for that to happen.

I gather many readers bought a ticket for Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” this weekend. This is a thread where you can post your thoughts on it.

“The Iron Claw” sounds like the type of film that would have absolutely benefited from a film festival. Durkin is coming off two notable features, especially 2011’s “Martha Marcy May Marlene” and there’s lots of buzz for this one.

Brie Larson might be leaving her “Captain Marvel” character behind, as a new report claims the MCU actress is disillusioned with the backlash her role has been receiving.

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.
