A new “Superman” teaser was released yesterday, and it featured a few new shots, including a close-up that’s already blowing up the internet, but for all the wrong reasons.

As Sundance rolls along with its final day of premieres, Bill Condon’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” starring Jennifer Lopez, screened at the Eccles theater last night. The reviews aren’t flattering.

Any other decade, Cooper Raiff would probably get his modestly budgeted projects greenlit by a studio. After all, Raiff’s first two films (“Shithouse” and “Cha Cha Real Smooth”) won top prizes at SXSW and Sundance, respectively. Raiff is just 27 years old.

Some cracks are starting to show. Mendes recently stated that he was going to be busy making these four Beatles movies until “mid-2028.” Aren’t they supposed to be released in 2027? Apparently, that might not be the case. Apple’s official statement said 2027.

According to Variety, Christopher Nolan is committing to authenticity. “The Odyssey” will be partly filmed in a little island in Sicily which, according to scholars, was the location Homer envisioned for Odysseus’ landing in the epic.

Eric Roth has written an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s “Rendezvous with Rama” for Denis Villeneuve to direct. Of all the projects Villeneuve has percolating next, after ‘Dune: Messiah,’ this is the one I’m most excited for.

The latest Oscar backlash has to do with surprise Best Actress nominee Fernanda Torres. The “I’m Still Here” actress already won the Golden Globe, and some have her as the dark horse to win the Oscar. Not so fast.

Lynne Ramsay’s “Die, My Love,” starring Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Lawrence and LaKeith Stanfield, will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May.

It’s looking like a pretty tame Sundance Film Festival in terms of buzzy titles this year. We’re currently on Day 4, and the consensus seems to be that Mary Bronstein’s “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” produced by A24, is the best buzzed title (81 on Metacritic).

Despite the No. 1 opening, Mel Gibson’s “Flight Risk,” which topped the box office this weekend with a $12.5M intake, doesn’t look it’ll be making much of a dent in the coming weeks. The budget on this one was $25M.

A Chinese outlet is reporting that, after his uber-successful “Blossoms,” we might have to wait a little longer for Wong Kar-wai’s next film since he’s working on yet another Chinese TV series.

Robert Eggers is a filmmaker who stays on brand. He’s all about folktales, myths, which include witches, vampires and very soon, Werewolves. All his films either span the Viking Era, the 1630s or 1890’s New England.

There are currently four studios in the middle of this “intense” bidding war for Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” reboot, including Warner Bros and Netflix. The other two studios were not named.

Lucasfilm just won’t let this project die. A few months after Steven Knight exited Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars movie, revolving around Daisy Ridley’s Rey, a new writer has been found.

Last June, Warner Bros. announced, via TikTok, that a sequel to “Practical Magic” was officially in the works. The 1998 film, directed by Griffin Dunne, starred Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, Stockard Channing, and Dianne Wiest.

In the early aughts, right after the success of Michael Moore’s “Bowling for Columbine,” there was a boom of documentary filmmakers who tried to rip off Moore’s intrusive, put-yourself-into-the-story brand of filmmaking .

Brad Pitt has found his next film. He’s set to star in David Ayer’s “Heart of the Beast,” an action adventure film for Paramount Pictures (via Deadline). A peculiar vehicle for Pitt, 61, who was supposed to star in Tarantino’s now-shelved “The Movie Critic.”

The best film hitting theaters today is Steven Soderbergh’s “Presence” [B+] — an eerie family drama that defies horror conventions. It’s yet another worthy addition to Soderbergh’s eclectic and endlessly fascinating filmography.

As expected, reviews for “Flight Risk” aren’t good, in fact they’re terrible. It has a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes and 36 on Metacritic. Lionsgate waited until the very last minute to lift the embargo on this one.
