While guesting on Matt Belloni’s The Town podcast, Villeneuve confesses having fallen out of love with Star Wars many years ago. The filmmaker added that the franchise hasn’t been the same since 1983’s ‘Return of the Jedi.’

Surprising, but much welcome news. Michael B. Jordan’s “Thomas Crown Affair” remake, which is shooting right now, features cinematography by Bradford Young. This was confirmed by talent agency Lux.

Mann is now giving us an update on the status of the sequel (via Collider). He’s telling the outlet that the script is almost done, but that, as with anything Warner Bros related these days, there’s no guarantee it’ll go forward.

Ringo Starr has accidentally confirmed that Barry Keoghan is going to be playing him, mentioning that the actor is currently ”taking drum lessons” in preparation for the role.

This ingratiating phenomenon of using your phone during a movie has gotten even worse with the release of “Wicked” as audiences are now filming segments of the actual film and posting the footage on their social media.

It’s no secret that “Gladiator II” was an expensive production, and despite Scott reiterating that he was actually under budget when shooting wrapped, that $250M budget — confirmed by Deadline, Variety and THR — does stick out like a sore thumb.

In an interview with Talking Pictures, Margot Robbie says she still can’t quite figure out "why people hated “Babylon” and wonders if in “20 years” people will be reevaluating it as a great film.

Nolan obviously had nothing but praise for the film. It’s no secret that he’s a major fan of what Villeneuve has accomplished in this film, and his backing will surely help its inevitable road to multiple Oscar nods.

The Metrograph’s Nick Pinkerton has interviewed Clint Eastwood in a rare, career-spanning conversation, and by my count, the only press that Eastwood has done since his “Juror #2” hit theaters.

Ramsay recently wrapped production on “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, which will certainly be released next year. However, it turns out that she’s already working on her next film after that, and that it could be shot very soon.

The Disney animated sequel currently has a 57 Metacritic, and 70% on Rotten Tomatoes. I walked out of the film halfway through, so you won’t be getting a reaction out of me. I’m not a fan of the 2016 original either — which did garner strong reviews and has a very loyal fanbase.

The comedy film world is in mourning. Condolences to the friends and family of Jim Abrahams (“Airplane” “Naked Gun”) who has passed away at the age of 80 (via THR).

Yesterday, “Wicked” earned $16M, the biggest box office Monday ever for November. Its totals could be sitting at $250M by Sunday evening. The film is a behemoth and driving ticket sales via Univeral’s brilliant marketing and strong word of mouth.

Compared to the hyperbolic first reactions, I’m seeing here a lot more mixed takes on the film. The film is set to hit theaters on December 25, and stars Timothee Chalamet as Bob Dylan.

Who wants a “Slumdog Millionaire” sequel? Absolutely nobody. Bridge7, a production company founded by former Netflix executive Swati Shetty and former CAA agent Grant Kessman, has acquired sequel and TV rights to the 2008 Oscar-winning movie.

It’s Charlize Theron’s turn to join the cast of Nolan’s ultra secretive film. The ensemble, so far, includes Theron, Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, and Lupita Nyong’o.

A report has a third test screenings having taken place for ‘Brave New World,’ and once again the reaction wasn’t what Marvel had hoped for. More changes are being done on the film.
