Here’s TheInSneider with more details on JJ Abrams’ mysterious new film, starring Glen Powell and Jenna Ortega, which apparently resides in the “Fantasy” genre and has franchise aspirations:

Today’s announcement of the New York Film Festival main slate did not include Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer,” which got some people worried about its status.

So, it’s official — James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” will be released on Christmas Day 2024, per Searchlight.

The 2024 New York Film Festival has announced its main slate lineup. As expected, it’s filled with Cannes titles, 13 of them, including Sean Baker’s “Anora” and Mohammad Rasoulof’s “Seed of the Sacred Fig.”

Yorgos Lanthimos' “Kinds of Kindness” will arrive digitally on August 27, that’s a little over three months after its theatrical debut. Good job, Searchlight.

We already know that Eli Roth’s “Borderlands” will be an unmitigated disaster for Lionsgate. It’s a film that’s been plagued with reshoots and rewrites.

Kristoffer Borgli is coming off his highly amusing “Dream Scenario,” and he’s now teaming up again with A24, adding two very big actors into the mix, for “The Drama”.

Hot off the wire, here’s a press release, from Lynch himself, clearing up any rumors of retirement. He’s going to try and continue on with his art, whether it means film, painting, music or writing.

This is set to be Van Sant’s first film project in over six years. In the ‘90s and ‘00s, there weren’t many U.S. filmmakers as hot in the indie movie scene as Gus Van Sant.

Back in January, director David Ayer had all but given up on his director’s cut of “Suicide Squad” ever getting released (“I’m done with DC.”)

Today’s the day “Longlegs” ($67M) officially surpassed “Furiosa” ($67M) at the domestic box-office. How wild is that? One was made for “under $10M” and the other was made for $168M.

A few months ago, Glen Powell joined JJ Abrams’ next film, taking lead role. Now, Deadline is reporting that Jenna Ortega has been added to the cast. Abrams wrote the script and his Bad Robot is producing.

I won’t get into the nitty gritty as to why Lee Daniels’ “The Paperboy” (2012) was such a batsh*t crazy vision, but just know that this is the film where Nicole Kidman eye-fucks John Cusack, and Zac Efron dances in his underwear.

If you don’t count “Twin Peaks: The Return” as cinema, then Lynch hasn’t directed a feature film since 2006’s “Inland Empire.”

Nothing could stop “Deadpool and Wolverine” from keeping the #1 spot at the weekend box-office. There was no competition. The Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman MCU movie is in a league of its own.

In late 2023, Bradley Cooper set up his third feature as a director. Cooper will be teaming up with Will Arnett and Emily Blunt on the Searchlight-produced “Is This Thing On?”

Writer/director Justin Simien has confirmed that his Lando Calrissian project, which would have starred Donald Glover, is no longer happening. Apparently, Disney canned it, despite advanced pre-production.

I’ve been hearing this rumor for a few weeks now. Nothing concrete, but Daniel Richtman is also hearing that Sydney Sweeney is being eyed to join Glen Powell in Edgar Wright’s “Running Man” remake.
