This adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel has been loaded with Oscar buzz for months. “Nickel Boys” stars Ethan Herisse, Brandon Wilson, Hamish Linklater, Daveed Diggs, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.

Here’s the latest intel when it comes to Venice. The lineup is set to be announced tomorrow morning, bright and early, before most folks on the east coast wake up.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s live-action “Tomb Raider” series is definitely happening and, according to the studio’s TV head, will likely begin filming early next year.

"Twisters" has triumphed at the domestic box office with a huge $80.5 million, but what folks on social media keep talking about is the alternate ending.

Two weeks ago, I mentioned how Clint Eastwood’s “Juror No.2” was not part of Warner Bros’ fall Oscar plans. We hadn’t heard anything about this one, with the absence of a trailer and no stills having been released.

“The Smashing Machine” might indeed be released by Christmas 2024. Nothing is locked, but that’s the tentative plan. It turns out that Safdie has been editing the film during production.

Marvel head Kevin Feige is telling io9 that work on “Spider-Man 4” has indeed begun, but they’re still waiting on a “draft” of the script to be delivered “soon.”

The next ‘Jurassic World’ will be called ‘Jurassic World Rebirth.’ This, according to Amblin Entertainment who have filed several new trademarks under that title.

The lack of a Venice premiere has gotten Bleecker Street to delay the film’s originally planned October 18 date, and now “Hard Truths” is set to open on January 10, 2025.

Gareth Evans has announced that reshoots on “Havoc” have been completed and that the film is now set for “5-6 months” of post-production work.

David Lowery and A24’s “Mother Mary” has finally wrapped production. It started filming in May 2023! The film stars Anne Hathaway, Michaela Cola, Hunter Schafer and FKA twigs.

Who said moviegoing is dying? “Twisters” is turning into the shock surprise of the summer movie season. These numbers are really unbelievable.

Call me a purist, but I’m not pleased that the Sundance Film Festival is potentially looking to move out of Utah by the year 2027. They are currently taking bids on a spot of relocation.

Hidden inside this Variety report on Korean cinema is the tidbit that Michael Mann will start working on his remake of “Veteran,” that is after he’s done making “Heat 2.”

I can confirm Andrew Garfield’s participation in “The Life of Jesus.” The film, mostly set in the present day, will be shooting this fall in Italy, Egypt and Israel.

Many of us saw this coming. Lionsgate‘s John Wick spinoff “Ballerina,” starring Ana de Armas, just had a “catastrophic” screening. I’m hearing the movie might be a “franchise killer.”

We’ll be getting another “Joker: Folie à Deux” trailer next Tuesday, which also happens to be the same day the Venice Film Festival announces the lineup for its 81st edition. That is not a coincidence.
