Sebastian Stan is great as an aspiring actor who undergoes a radical medical procedure to drastically transform his facial deformities. Adam Pearson is his equal as the man who steals his thunder (and girlfriend).

Last week, Ridley Scott took a lot of people by surprise with his confirmation that “Gladiator 3” was in the works, an idea only recently sparked in his head, now in full blown development.

THR has published an in-depth analysis of what went wrong with ‘Folie à Deux.’ They don’t really come to any one conclusion, but believe it was the accumulation of a bunch of misbegotten creative decisions that derailed the film.

Iconic filmmaker John Boorman, 91, is still going at it, and has just gotten a long-gestating passion project of his greenlit for the big screen. His next film appears to be animated, based on a story he created for his children, “The Honey Wars.”

It turns out that “Hush,” which premiered on Netflix eight years ago, is finally receiving a U.S. theatrical release. It’s set to hit theaters on October 16. This would, technically speaking, easily make it one of the best released horror films of 2024.

Cronenberg, 81, is now telling NYFF’s Dennis Lim that it might have been a mistake to show it at Cannes as the audience over there “didn’t get” the movie he was trying to make, one which is filled with dark humor.

It turns out that Smith recently dropped out of “Sugar Bandits,” which was lined up as his next project, to hop onboard Bay’s film — “Fast and Loose” is set to reunite Smith and Bay for the first time since 2003’s “Bad Boys II.”

Warner Bros is now spinning, through Deadline, all of the blame towards Phillips by implying that the studio “appeased” his requests by giving him “final cut” on the film and granting his request for the Venice world premiere. Here’s Antonio D’Allessandro …

‘Brave New World,’ which is said to have an epic $350M budget, stars Anthony Mackie, Liv Tyler, Harrison Ford, Shira Haas, and Tim Blake Nelson, and is set to be released in theaters on February 14, 2025.

So, apparently Gary Dauberman’s “Salem’s Lot,” an endlessly delayed film, which went straight to Max streaming, had an original cut of 3 hours, but due to studio intervention, had to be snipped down to 113 minutes. That’s almost an hour of the original cut gone.

Germany recently submitted Mohammad Rasoulof's “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” as its Oscar entry in the Best International Feature race. A trailer has just been revealed by Neon.

At today’s press conference in Torino, Scorsese, 81, tackled what’s next for him. It had been previously reported that “Sinatra” and “The Life of Jesus,” which Scorsese planned to shoot this year, had been postponed.

Mike Leigh’s struggles to raise money for his recent projects only started when his $18M period battle epic “Peterloo” (Amazon) bombed at the box office in 2018, garnering mixed reviews and only earning $2M worldwide.

“Terrifier 3” is still scheduled to open on October 9, but this restrictive ruling has not been used since “Saw 3” in 2006, and the film’s French distributors are not too happy about it.

Steven McQueen’s “Blitz” is one of the last remaining Oscar contenders left to be screened this fall. The others are “Gladiator II,” “A Complete Unknown,” “Here,” “Juror No. 2,” and “Nosferatu.”

Yes, as expected, Todd Phillips’ “Joker: Folie à Deux” bombed hard at the box-office and is now expected to have a $39M opening weekend. It was just a month ago that it was tracking at around $120M.
