‘Dune 2’ is pure spectacle filmmaking. It’s as ambitious a studio film as I’ve seen in quite a bit of time.

UPDATE: The trailer is now online. I have some thoughts about this one. I really like the visual style of the film. Roth (and Miller) are clearly taking a page of out the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ notebook.

It’s been 30 years since Steven Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List” was released. THR has an utterly fascinating “oral history” of the film. There’s interviews with the likes of Liam Neeson, Martin Scorsese and Spielberg himself.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Barry Keoghan is not denying that he’s in Matt Reeves’ “The Batman: Part II.” At this point, it’s turning into the worst kept secret.

“Challengers” stars the trio of Zendaya, Josh O’Connor, and Mike Faist. Guadagnino directs, based on a script by Justin Kuritzkes. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are scoring this one.

A real shocker coming through the airwaves. Bong Joon-ho’s “Mickey17” will not be released this year. Warner Bros has just given it a January 31st, 2025 release date. January is usually when studios dump films they have no confidence in …

Universal has found the person to helm the next ‘Jurassic World’ and it’s Gareth Edwards. This is actually a great choice. He’s the perfect pick to direct a ‘Jurassic World’ movie.

Pardon me for being late to this one, but it turns out that Denis Villeneuve is a big fan of Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” calling it a “masterwork.” Not just that, he says it’s the best performance of Adam Driver’s career.

Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) has landed the title role of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in a Sky television adaptation of “Amadeus.” Last I checked, Mozart wasn’t Japanese.

Scorsese is wrestling with how to actually make his Jesus movie. He originally said that the script had been written and he would shoot it in April, but now he’s “not quite sure” how to go about it.

Emma Stone has officially joined Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Save the Green Planet” remake. This will be their fifth collaboration together after “The Favorite,” “Poor Things,” “Kind of Kindness” and the short film “Bleat.”

Pizzolatto has been openly critical about the female-led fourth season starring Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. He believes the fourth season ruined the spirit of what he had created

Here’s a new trailer for Alex Garland’s “Civil War.” No surprise, this one’s been embroiled in the culture wars — it’s only going to get more heated as the film’s release date approaches.

In one of the most ambitious moves by a studio, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes have set plans to make four separate theatrical films, one on each of the members of The Beatles.

Our piece about the unknown future of “Salem’s Lot” might have been noticed by Stephen King. Last night he went on Twitter to further discuss the status of the film:

The “Blade Runner” limited series spin-off, “Blade Runner 2099,” is still happening. Jonathan Van Tulleken has been added as director. Silka Luisa (“Shining Girls”) is still the writer, creator and showrunner.

It’s been one hell of a turnaround for director Christopher Nolan over these last three years. After releasing the severely divisive “Tenet,” which was a critical and commercial bust, his mega-successful “Oppenheimer” is now set to win the Oscar for Best Picture

We know that Disney is in some kind of serious trouble. Their stock is in shambles. Box office flops (“Wish,” “Haunted Mansion,” “The Marvels“) keep happening, and their streaming service is losing subscribers by the millions.

You can almost certainly scratch off a Cannes 2024 appearance. He’ll be working on this film until, at least, August. The next best case scenario is a Venice premiere.

We already know how “Madame Web” completely flatlined this weekend. Its 6-day total is said to be at around a $25 million intake, which was clearly not helped by the scathingly bad reviews.
