I don’t think many, if any, expected Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice” to get rave reviews out of Venice, where it screened for press this morning. It’s set to open the 81st edition of festival this evening.

The one person who has had the most gleeful response to the bombing of "The Crow" is the original's filmmaker Alex Proyas who has been trashing the film left and right on social media.

Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” is set to have its world premiere at Venice on Tuesday, September 3. It still has no U.S. distributor, but odds are that it’ll get picked up at some point during the festival.

How strange that Focus has formally set up for Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu” to world premiere at the Leipzig Film Festival on September 17. It's included in the festival's program.

Much like the 2000 original, “Gladiator II” has officially been rated R for strong bloody violence. The first one nabbed the same rating for “intense graphic combat.”

Clint Eastwood’s “Juror No.2” has been dated for November 1 theatrical release in the UK and Ireland. This must surely mean it’s being released this year in the U.S.

To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of Damien Chazelle’s “Whiplash,” Sony Pictures Classics will be re-releasing the film in theaters on September 20, 2024.

Hard to believe, but we’re only a week away from Jeremy Saulnier’s much-delayed “Rebel Ridge” hitting Netflix. That’s right, it won’t be getting theatrical release.

Following the success of “Prey,” 20th Century is moving forward with their next ‘Predator’ movie. Dan Trachtenberg’s “Badlands,” which stars Elle Fanning, has started filming in New Zealand.

In the aughts, no one ruled comedy quite like Judd Apatow. His reach, which included producing and directing, influenced an entire decade's worth of laughs.

Attention: ‘90s indie cinema lovers. I first reported on this project a year ago, and after some brief delays, it’s now inching very close to its October production start.

The Wrap is reporting that Edgar Wright’s “Running Man” remake is set to shoot in November. Of course, as with all projects these days, Glen Powell is set to star as the lead.

The rift between “It Ends With Us” star Blake Lively and her director/co-star Justin Baldoni is not subsiding. Variety is reporting that they are still not on speaking terms, and a sequel is currently in limbo.

Puck’s Matt Belloni has asked around and “nobody at Disney seems to have a good answer for why Kathy’s still there.” Belloni got a lot of “she was George’s choice” type of answers, but most seemed bewildered.

The trailer for ‘Sonic 3’ just popped up online, and with that lots of gamers and film nerds are further creaming their pants in anticipation for its December 20, 2024 release.

“What I didn’t want to happen is that we’re deemed some woke Hollywood production that’s simply lecturing viewers,” Coppola said of his film.
