I just noticed that this morning’s IMAX Investor Presentation slate also had an "Untitled Dune" movie by Denis Villeneuve set for 2026 release. It looks like the rumors were true. “Dune Messiah” is indeed coming next.

We already know that Cillian Murphy is set reprise the role of Tommy Shelby in the “Peaky Blinders” feature film, being produced by Netflix, and now we can add Rebecca Ferguson as his co-star (via Deadline).

Looks like the lawsuit from actress Gina Carano against Disney/Lucasfilm is set to move forward to trial, after a federal judge declined to dismiss the suit earlier this morning. I would keep an eye on this one.

“SNL 1975” privately screened for press in NYC and LA. There have also been three test screenings in the past month and a half. It’s rumored to be released later this year.

Where to begin when it comes to Chris Stuckmann’s “Shelby Oaks”? I don’t think I’ll bother reviewing it until its release in the fall. I’m honestly surprised Neon bought it.

The runtimes have also been released. ‘Chalice of Blood’ clocks in at a ridiculous 3 hours 21 minutes. Meanwhile, ‘Curse of Forgiveness’ is 2 hours 51 minutes.

It’s official, “Rebel Ridge” will be released on September 6. No theatrical launch or fall fests planned, this one is going straight to Netflix. First look images can be seen below this article.

Venice Film Festival chief Alberto Barbera is banging the drums HARD for Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie a Deux.” Is it all hyperbole? Who knows.

Much like last year with “Aggro Dr1ft,” Harmony Korine has landed another one of his movies in an out-of-competition slot at Venice. I reported on this one back in March.
