Since it’s Super Bowl weekend, the closest to a “big” release we’ll be getting this weekend is the action-comedy “Love Hurts” starring Ke Huy Quan aka Short Round.

Will Forte, who stars in the film, is breaking his silence on “Coyote vs. Acme,” a Looney Tunes comedy that sparked fury for being shelved much in the same way as Warners’ “Batgirl” and “Scoob! Holiday Haunt.”

James Gray, the filmmaker behind “Two Lovers” and “Lost City of Z,” is giving Luca Guadagnino a run for his money in terms of collecting an endless amount of projects in development.

A listing on Production Weekly has Walter Hill’s long-gestating “St. Vincent” back in pre-production mode. I wouldn’t expect this one to shoot until much later in the year, or maybe even in 2026.

Al Pacino is now part of the “Dead Man’s Wire” ensemble which already included Skarsgård, Domingo, Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Myha’la (Industry), and John Robinson.

The film has apparently been retitled as “Disclosure.” Hopefully, it won’t be mistaken for the 1994 film of the same name starring Michael Douglas and Demi Moore. That was an erotic thriller, and Spielberg’s film seems to be the total opposite of that.

Looks like A24 has decided to speed up this digital release. “The Brutalist” will now be available a week earlier on VOD. The date is now set for February 18. It was originally set to release the week before the Oscars.

Herzog is set to direct “Bucking Fastard” which will star Kate and Rooney Mara as twin sisters living on the fringes of society. The film is based on a true story. Sold!

Some have caught wind (via Box Office Mojo) that Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic has just been removed from Lionsgate’s 2025 calendar. Its intended October 3 release potentially delayed?

Shot in 2023, Andrew Patterson’s “The Rivals of Amziah King” will finally be having its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in March. Kurt Russell and Matthew McConaughey stars in Patterson’s sophomore effort. A first look image was released, and can be seen above.

The most hated man in Mexico, Jacques Audiard, is distancing himself from his embattled “Emilia Perez” star Karla Sofía Gascón, amid the implosion of her Oscar campaign after racist and controversial tweets resurfaced.

McDonagh is coming off ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ which received nine Oscar noms, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor. His other works include “In Bruges,” and “Seven Psychopaths.”

Ford is now tackling the film that resulted in $130M losses for Disney, expect unlike Mangold, he doesn’t have a theory, he’s just brushing it off as a bump on the road.

The beginning of the month brings out our second spitball of this coming May’s Cannes Film Festival. I’ll be writing one of these every month, with updates in between, until the announcement of the lineup in April.

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.
