As he shoots the second season of “Severance”, it does look as though Stilerl is prepping his filmmaking comeback with Amazon/MGM’s “The Seven Five,” and none other than Jeremy Allen White might star.

Disney’s “Freaky Friday”, released in 2003, has amassed a big following over the years. So much so that there’s been fan demand for a sequel. It might actually be coming very soon.

This is all very surprising given that I didn’t think Zendaya had it in her to deliver something this ferocious. She’s mostly dabbled in fine performances, but in “Challengers” she just ups her game.

Whenever he’s asked, it’s been constant deflection on Taylor-Johnson’s part. A simple “no” would have sufficed, but he’s never denied it. At this point, it’s become too obvious to believe he isn’t in the running.

Brian Helgeland's medieval-set “A Knight’s Tale” was released in 2001 and was a semi-success but has developed a decent following these last 20 years.

Nicholson, who turns 87 today, never actually announced his retirement, but, given that he’s now 87 years old, the chances of ever seeing him on-screen again seem nil to none.

Neon is distributing this one, and “Anora” is premiering in competition at Cannes. The studio has backed the last four Palme d’Or winners (“Anatomy of A Fall,” “"Triangle of Sadness,” “Titane” and “Parasite.”)

Aaron Taylor-Johnson will lead the heist thriller “Fuze.” It comes to us from “Hell or High Water” director David Mackenzie. Production is set to begin on this one in June.

As I had reported last week, an animated film has been added to the Cannes competition lineup, Michel Hazanavicius’ “The Most Precious of Cargoes".”

Alex Garland’s film, starring Kirsten Dunst as a photojournalist, added $11.12 million this weekend. It has, so far, grossed $45 million. A24’s most expensive movie to date additionally made $5 million overseas.

On Saturday, actors Heather Donahue, Michael Williams, and Joshua Leonard released a joint statement, directed at Lionsgate, asking for retroactive and future residual payments for their roles in the original film.

Last year, French journalist Bernard Montiel had revealed that Depp and Maïwenn were not getting along during the shoot of ‘Jeanne’ and that there was tension for months between director and actor.

In an interview with OMRI, ‘Passion’ screenwriter Randall Wallace is confirming the screenplay for the sequel is finished, that Jim Caviezel is, obviously, going to star as Jesus, and that production could begin very soon.

Because Hollywood pretends Thursday previews are just part of Friday openings, boosting the opening day number with an extra night of receipts, “Abigail” was #1 on “Friday,” beating out “Civil War” by only a few thousand dollars.

Remember Chris Columbus? He was the director critics loved to hate in the ‘90s and early aughts. He directed many successful movies, “Home Alone,” “Home Alone 2,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

UPDATE: I had the roles mixed up. Ferrell is OUT as Madden, he’s being replaced by Jackman. Weird casting. Also, Tom Hanks is in talks to play Oakland Raiders football coach Al Davis.

The Cannes Film Festival has unveiled the official poster for its 77th edition, which is set to take place on May 14-25, and it’s a tribute to Akira Kurosawa’s 1991 film “Rhapsody in August.”
