I used to be a skeptic of Franco’s brand of morose cinema. However, his last two films — “Sundown” and “Memory” —were very good, and “Dreams” looks very promising.

Word is the film is a mess. Wooden performances, especially from Prinze Jr. and Hewitt, a script filled with lazy clichés, and zero tension.

In a newly published The Times of London interview, Gunn makes it crystal clear: Superman isn’t just about truth, justice, and brightly colored capes. It’s about current-day America.

The actor revealed he hasn’t worked since 2022, and that, by choice, and unless an exceptional script comes his way, he may not return to the screen at all.

“Jurassic World: Rebirth” added another $25M on Friday, pushing its three-day domestic haul to $80M — this puts it firmly in the $145M range for the holiday stretch.

It finally happened. “Rush Hour” — yes, the 1998 Jackie Chan–Chris Tucker buddy cop comedy — has been deemed too “problematic” for modern audiences.

Over 150 critics participated in our annual poll with Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” landing comfortably at the top with 101 votes — it appeared on a whopping 70% of the lists submitted.

AMC is explicitly warning moviegoers to “allow 25–30 minutes” for trailers and promotional content before the actual film begins. Studios aren’t thrilled.

The Golden Globes, once again, are engulfed in chaos. On Thursday, all but one member of what remains of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association voted to remove Helene Hoehne, their public-facing president.

Paolo Sorrentino’s newest film, “La Grazia,” is set to open the 82nd Venice International Film Festival. The film, starring Toni Servillo and Anna Ferzetti, will have its world premiere on Wednesday, August 27

Tom Cruise had been pushing for a $275M budget on “Deeper.” Warner Bros. gave no indication that the studio was getting cold feet, until they suddenly panicked.

Earlier today, The Daily Beast mistakenly published its review of James Gunn’s Superman—five days ahead of the official embargo lift.

Universal Pictures’ “Distant,” a sci-fi drama directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, wrapped shooting in November 2020. Sadly, it failed to garner a release over the last five years, until now.

Most people remember Madsen for one scene, that scene, in Quentin Tarantino’s “Reservoir Dogs.” With “Stuck in the Middle with You” on the radio, a straight razor in hand.

We still have no cast announcement for this one. Eggers recently conducted a post-screening Q&A at the Lincoln Center, and described “Werewulf” as “the darkest thing I’ve ever written.”

While her sophomore feature, “Materialists,” doesn’t fall squarely into that genre, Song used the opportunity to highlight how patriarchal undermining has pushed the rom-com into cultural exile.
