“Wish,” which cost Disney $200 million, had a 5-day opening of $31 million. I’ve lost count at the number of box-office disasters Disney has had this year.

This past September, I reported on a rumor I had heard that Sam Raimi was being eyed to direct “Avengers: Secret Wars” (2026) and that he was actually Marvel’s top choice.

Margot Robbie’s recent comments, expressing doubts about a “Barbie” sequel should not be taken seriously. Here she is speaking to the AP:

Scorsese is a huge Joanna Hogg fan, so it’s not surprising to read his mention of her. Scorsese has praised Hogg’s “Archipelago” and “Exhibition” in the past, and went on to produce her last three films.

Production on the film wrapped in December 2020 and it’s been in post ever since. It will likely continue to be worked on until, at least, 2025 (which is also when it’s supposed to be released).

Back in 2019, a certain Martin Scorsese happened to describe Adam Driver as “the greatest actor of his generation.” Scorsese pointed out Driver’s “remarkable screen presence.”

Supposedly, 20th Century wants James L. Brooks to kickstart a ‘Simpsons’ sequel with creator Matt Groening and the show’s talented writing staff.

Since it’s Thanksgiving, and there isn’t much to report on today, I gather some of our readers caught up with “Napoleon,” or will do so in the coming days.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” screenwriter Eric Roth was a guest on the “A Script Apart” podcast. At some point in the interview, Roth mentions that he wrote a screenplay for Denis Villeneuve in secret. It's about “space and time”.

We haven’t heard much from Michael Haneke since 2017’s “Happy End”. He turned 81 years old in the summer. The man is a filmmaking legend.

The latest comic book movie destined to be cast in infamy is James Wan’s “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” The first projections are in and Box-Office Pro has its opening weekend nearing anywhere between $32-42 million. That’s not good.

Some stunning first images from Paolo Sorrentino’s as-of-yet untitled new film, they can all be seen below. It looks like the film was shot in black and white.

Do you blame French critics for hating on Ridley Scott’s “Napoleon”? Their heroic, and historic, emperor-general has been reduced to a mumbling, bumbling Joaquin Phoenix.

Here’s another image from “Nosferatu.” This time it’s Nicholas Hoult as Jonathan Harker. And, yeah, that’s Bill Skarsgard as Count Orlok that he’s staring at, it’s just purposely blurry.

With the strike over and done with, here’s Clint Eastwood, sporting a recently grown beard, on the set of “Juror #2.” The film is supposed to finally wrap production on Sunday or Monday.

I’m starting to suspect that all of the hype surrounding Marvel’s reboot of ‘Fantastic Four’ is, and has always been, a Twitter thing.

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.
