As we anticipate his upcoming “Civil War,” Alex Garland is not, contrary to rumors, retiring from directing and will in fact remain in the battlefield for his next film.

In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Villeneuve spoke about the film’s ending and he’s sticking to the source material written by Frank Herbert back in 1965.

A sequel for “Twister” was announced in December 2022. The cast will be led by Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, David Corenswet, and Brandon Perea. It’s set to be released during the thick of summer movie season, on July 19, 2024.

Todd Haynes, coming off last year’s “May December,” hasn’t even started shooting his next film yet, but he’s already implying that it’ll be a button-pusher of the highest order.

Austin Butler (“Elvis”) is in talks for a role in Ari Aster's next film, “Eddington”. No details on the role just yet (via Daniel Richtman). I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already signed on since the film is supposed to start production next month.

Stunt coordinator-turned-filmmaker David Leitch has been tapped to direct the next ‘Jurassic World.’ The film, written by David Koepp, is set for theatrical release on July 2, 2025.

After a much-heated bidding war, Sony prevailed and acquired the rights to Danny Boyle’s “28 Years Later,” which will be written by Alex Garland. It was a hot package, and a few studios were in the running for the rights, including Warner Bros.

Last week, Alfonso Cuaron conducted an extensive interview with Jonathan Glazer at London’s BFI Southbank.

I’m hearing a trailer for Ti West’s “MaXXXine” is ready to go. The question now remains as to when A24 is ready to release it.

Cameron will be 76 by the time time the fifth Avatar is released in theaters. He’s going to be making ‘Avatar’ movies for the rest of his life.

This early year is off to an interesting start for Jacob Elordi. He was the recipient of a prank by a radio host and his reaction wasn’t the most subdued.

Fresh off “Argylle,” Matthew Vaughn revealed that he’s been filming a secret film going by the working title “Project X.” The shoot took around 11 weeks to complete. It’s in the can. Maybe he’ll try to release it this year to wash away the stink of “Argylle.”

It was bound to happen, especially with their respective home media releases having arrived in Europe, but Woody Allen’s “Coup de Chance” and Roman Polanski’s “The Palace” have leaked online.

Last week I alluded to Anya Taylor-Joy having joined the cast of Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Room Next Door.”

The 44th London Critics’ Circle was topped by Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” which won the Film of the Year award, and Glazer was individually honored with Director of the Year as well.

The narrative that’s being constructed, way ahead of the film’s March 1 release, is that 2021’s “Dune” was just a set up for the action-packed “Dune: Part Two.”

It was in September of 2021, news broke that Barry Jenkins was set to direct the Disney-backed prequel, “Mufasa”. It shocked many in the industry.

An interesting choice of words from film editor extraordinaire Thelma Schoonmaker, who has worked with Martin Scorsese ever since her landmark work in 1980’s “Raging Bull.”

I guess this is a good spot to give some brief thoughts on Matthew Vaughn’s “Argylle,” which I caught up with on Wednesday night. This will be short and sweet: it’s LONG, loud, incoherent and boring. Was that enough for you?
