If any film merits such an honor, then I guess it might as well be Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” On Letterboxd, it has almost the same number of 1-star as 5-star reviews.

Whenever the topic of Leonardo DiCaprio’s acting talents comes into conversation, it’s either he’s overrated or underrated, there’s no in-between. I’m sure that debate will continue on here.

Deadline is reporting that John Requa & Glenn Ficarra (“Bad Santa,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love”) will be writing the script. That is possibly the best news this project can get. Marshall is still onboard as director.

A24 has dated Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist” with an awards-ready December 20 release date. No word yet on whether the 3-hour 35-minute film will have a 15-minute intermission, much like it did at the fall fests, but there’s no reason to believe it won’t.

While promoting "Megalopolis" in France, Francis Ford Coppola, 85, revealed that he's still working on his wild sounding “Distant Vision” (via Le Monde) and described it as "live cinema."

Christine Vachon has chimed in with some thoughts. She says “the truth” of the situation has already been reported on but believes the most tragic aspect of the whole story is how Haynes only has a few more films left given his age.

Nichols is gearing up to shoot “Land of Opportunity” which I had previously reported had Brad Pitt in talks to star. Production List now has a May 2025 shoot set up for the film in Arkansas.

Sony has decided to bring Freddie Prinze Jr. back, with his co-star Jennifer Love Hewitt, for the latest installment of the horror film franchise, written by Sam Lansky and Kaytin Robinson.

It looks like Warner Bros has decided to unveil the trailer for Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” tomorrow. It was originally set to release online sometime in early October. It’ll be interesting to get a first glimpse at what Coogler/Jordan have concocted here.

Deadline is reporting that Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are set to star in the adaptation of the classic novel. Robbie is set to star as Catherine Earnshaw, and Elordi will play Heathcliff. Fennell is set to write, direct and produce. 

Steven Soderbergh‘s spy thriller “Black Bag” recently set up a March 14, 2025, release date, via Focus Features. Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender star in the film alongside Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke and Pierce Brosnan.

“Rumors” currently has a 70 on Metacritic and 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s nowhere near Maddin’s best film, that honor would have to go to “My Winnipeg.” The film is expected to arrive in theaters on October 18, via Bleecker Street. You can watch the new trailer above.

Not that surprising but India has officially snubbed acclaimed Cannes drama “All We Imagine As Light,” and instead chosen “Laapataa Ladies” as their Oscar submission in the International Film race.

Within 72 hours, and Cregger formally passing on “Clue,” apparently due to an issue of money — Sony offered him $1.5 million against $4 million — the filmmaker is now attached to helm the studio’s ‘Resident Evil’ reboot.

David Cronenberg's “The Shrouds” has finally received U.S. distribution, courtesy of Janus Films and Sideshow, with a spring 2025 release planned.
