In a new interview with Spanish journalist David Trueba, Allen confirms he is currently trying to launch a new film, which could start shooting as early as this summer in Italy.

What’s next for Triet? In a French magazine interview, which I’m trying to get a URL to, Triet confirms she’s been offered to direct the adaptation of Daniel Clowes' graphic novel “Monica.”

Pascal Pascal, who is supposed to shoot the second season of “The Last Of Us,” had to drop out of Zach Cregger’s much-anticipated “Weapons” due to this scheduling conflict. He’s now been replaced by Josh Brolin.

Variety’s sources state that Tom Cruise’s current intentions are to steer away from ‘Mission: Impossible’ type of filmmaking and to reteam with auteurs like Paul Thomas Anderson.

The budget “Joker: Folie à Deux” has “ballooned” to about $200 million, a significant difference from the $60 million cost of the first film.

The review embargo has lifted on Ethan Coen’s “Drive-Away Dolls.” 64 on Metacritic and 73% on Rotten Tomatoes. I had written a bit about it on social media, a few weeks ago — here are some elaborated thoughts:

The budget for Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film is reported to be around $115 million, with Leonardo DiCaprio pocketing a cool $20 million paycheck.

A Variety report states that, compared to their other upcoming titles, WB are “less pumped” by Bong’s film, which, they further state, cost a whopping $150 million to make.

‘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.

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.
