I believe we have four locks in this category — Murphy, Cooper, DiCaprio and Giamatti. The #5 slot could be a fight between Domingo and Wright.

The cult following of the original has allowed Entertainment One to greenlight a sequel, it’s called “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,” and much of the cast is back for this one, including Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr.

“Fallen Leaves” is another wonderful addition to Kaurismäki’s filmography, which includes “The Match Factory Girl,” “The Man Without A Past” and “Le Havre.”

I should have trusted Sam Esmail. He’s the showrunner of Mr. Robot, and in his feature debut, Netflix-produced “Leave the World Behind,” he’s so good at creating a sense of dreaded paranoia.

Tim Allen appeared on The Tonight Show and, during his interview, confirmed that Disney contacted him and Tom Hanks about reprising their iconic roles as Buzz and Woody for “Toy Story 5”.

Here’s Francis Ford Coppola’s wonderful homage to Ridley Scott, via his Instagram. It turns out, he’s a big fan.

Why is Alexander Payne’s “The Holdovers” available digitally next Tuesday? A Focus rep has confirmed that its VOD date is indeed on November 28th.

Daniel Richtman is reporting that Lanthimos will next be directing a remake of the South Korean film “Save the Green Planet” for CJ Entertainment. Stone is in talks for female lead.

Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon” is now in theaters. It did decently well last night in Tuesday previews with a $3 million showing. The film cost Apple $200 million to produce.

After Melissa Barrera was fired yesterday, due to her Israel-Hamas war comments on social media, her ‘Scream’ co-star is also trying to leave the franchise.

According to Daniel Richtman, Kimberly Pierce will be directing and writing a remake of 1981 film noir “Body Heat,” via Warner Bros. Bad idea, if true.

It’s highly amusing following David Ayer ranting, for seven years now, about how he was done wrong by Warner Bros with his 2016 film “Suicide Squad.”

Screeners for George Clooney’s “The Boys in the Boat” have been sent out to Critics Choice Awards members. It’s not supposed to be screened for non-CCA press until December.

Melissa Barrera was just fired from “Scream VII”. This might have to do with her statements about Israel-Hamas war, but I can’t 100% confirm that. She was the star of the last two ‘Scream’ movies.

Here’s director Celine Sciamma, who last night hosted a masterclass in Spain, explaining why making a 3-hour movie doesn’t help “cinema” and is actually an act of narcissism:

Fraser is coming off “The Whale,” which won him the Oscar for Best Actor earlier this year. His comeback was dubbed the “Brenaissance.” Did he deserve the Oscar for his performance? I’m not sure. Many will disagree with me on this one.

Neon picked up the film in early September, they clearly saw something in it that justified the seven-figure acquisition. The film screened at Venice, TIFF and a few other fall fests, and the reviews have been good, but not great.
