Every film from non-fiction filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, 95, is a gift. It’s already damn-near miraculous that he managed to direct his last one; “Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros,” which clocked in at 4 hours, and was released in 2023.

While Netflix keeps touting gains in subscribers — 300M+ and counting —- Disney+ is bleeding out as it lost 700,000 subscribers over the final three months of 2024, which is what we learned this morning from the Walt Disney Company’s fourth quarter earnings call.

Great cast, mediocre trailer. Then again, with Edwards at the helm, it certainly can’t be worse than ‘Fallen Kingdom’ or ‘Dominion,’ right? Some of the visuals at least look inspired.

The crowning jewel of Sundance 2025 was Geeta Gandbhir’s ”The Perfect Neighbor,” a true crime nonfiction, shot almost entirely from police bodycam footage.

The trailer for “Hurry Up Tomorrow” has been released. Looks like Shults hasn’t tampered down on the virtuosic style of his previous films — if anything he’s upped the ante. I’m very much looking forward to this one.

A curious development in the saga to bring “Assassination,” co-written by David Mamet and Nicholas Celozzi, to the big screen (via Deadline). The film is supposed to start production in April.

Here’s another remake, or as industry folk like to call it these days, a “reimagining.” Sidney Lumet’s 1964 cold-war classic “Fail-Safe” will be remade by Joe Berlinger, the director known for the classic true-crime docuseries “Paradise Lost.”

Who exactly is willing to dish out big money for Bill Condon’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman”? The Jennifer Lopez starring movie musical premiered to tepid reviews, and that’s with a reported budget of $60M. A distributor still hasn’t been found.

Tensions are said to be high between Gascón and Netflix, which invested $30M+ in the film’s awards campaign. It’s become such a dire situation that the streamer is now refusing to provide transport and accommodation to Gascón.

Just a few weeks after the trailer for James Gunn’s “Superman” got launched, Marvel has decided to riskily unveil first footage of its big 2025 juggernaut, Matt Shakman’s “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” and quite frankly, there’s nothing mind-blowing here.

Ari Aster (“Hereditary” and “Midsommar”) is coming off 2023’s polarizing “Beau is Afraid.” A24 has produced all four of his films, including the upcoming “Eddington.”

French actress Juliette Binoche has been named the president of the jury for the 2025 Cannes film festival. She succeeds last year’s president, Greta Gerwig, whose jury gave the Palme d’Or to “Anora.”

A recent listing has “28 Years Later: Part 3” starting production on March 31, 2025. The entire trilogy will have been shot and completed by the time Boyle starts to do press on the first one in June.

A “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reboot is close to having a pilot greenlit over at Hulu, with Sarah Michelle Gellar set to reprise the iconic titular role.

Netflix is attempting to steer its $30M+ Oscar campaign for “Emilia Perez” in the right direction, and this means, quite wisely, ignoring that its controversial star Karla Sofia Gascón was even in the movie.

This very strange awards season only got weirder, and more entertaining, with the recent implosion of the “Emilia Perez” campaign, for which Netflix spent anywhere between $30M-$40M. It’s certainly not winning Best Picture.

Neon’s using the same template as with ’ “Longlegs.” Cryptic marketing aside, the review embargo has lifted, three weeks before the film is released, but the trades are again not chiming in. It’s only been screened for a select few outlets.

A new report claims Emmy-winning “Shōgun” star Anna Sawai is being eyed for the role of Yoko Ono in Sam Mendes’ quartet of films about the Beatles. The InSneider broke the report, and the potential casting would be the first role outside the band members.

‘Canrival’ is now going to the EFM Berlin Film Market in search of buyers. Italian producer and entrepreneur Andrea Iervolino, who has now boarded the project, says the film could shoot as early as April. Iervolino will also help finance Gilliam’s passion project.

The most acclaimed film of Sundance 2025 has been picked up for U.S. distribution, no doubt an awards campaign will be mounted for it by the fall.
