Last night, Saldaña took questions from press and responded to a Mexican reporter who described Jacques Audiard’s depiction of Mexico as “hurtful” — and asked Saldaña to respond.

We are less than a few minutes away from the 97th Academy Awards. The show starts at 7pm on ABC. Conan O’Brien is the host. Hopefully, this year’s ceremony won’t be as lengthy as ‘The Brutalist.’

With its frontrunner status firmly in place, and Oscar voting over, I find it rather odd that two “Anora” hit pieces were published this week, both tackling the “problematic” nature of the film’s Russian actors. 

Timothée Chalamet has apparently been offered the lead role in Disney's “Ichabod,” another take on Washington Irving’s “Sleepy Hollow,” directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“Me, Earl and the Dying Girl”).

‘Wick’ star Keanu Reeves is now pouring some cold water on the possibility of a film fifth happening, or at least, for now. I don’t believe him. When asked about the fifth film, Reeves quite simply doesn’t want to hear about it.

Netflix has beaten out multiple studios, in a heated biding war, and closing up a worldwide deal for Natalie Portman and Lena Dunham’s “Good Sex.” The final deal could reach a near-record $55M.

What exactly is going on with James Gunn’s “Superman”? There have been whispers that a recent cut screened internally over at Warner Bros was not up to the standards of the studio brass. A few weeks later, another cut was screened, and word was only slightly better.

Barry Levinson somehow got $50M to shoot his mob movie “Alto Knights,” starring Robert De Niro. This is a film that has been described as, Warner Bros head honcho, David Zaslav’s “pet project.”

Here’s an awkward interview that’s just been published between Dwadline and LucasFilm President Kathleen Kennedy. If you read between the lines, there’s a lot to decipher.

“Black Bag,” which is being dubbed a “spy thriller,” is set up with a March 14, 2025 release date via Focus Features. Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender star in the film alongside Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke and Pierce Brosnan.

Rodrigo Teixeira, one of the film's producers, is now telling the Dois Pontos podcast that none other than Martin Scorsese wrote an email to Salles after seeing the film. Predictably, Scorsese was gushing about “I’m Still Here” which he loved.
