I promised to stay quiet about the major film set to be unveiled in tomorrow’s Locarno lineup, but here’s a little hint: it’s an international production that finished shooting five years ago.

The film just crossed the $500M global mark this weekend and is currently sitting at #3 at the domestic box office, but that doesn’t seem to matter.

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.

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

Appearing on the “New Heights” podcast earlier this week, Pitt was asked if there’s one director he’s still itching to collaborate with. His answer came without hesitation:

Villeneuve’s sequel is said to involve an “extensive, multi-location, multi-month shoot,” with returning cast members Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Jason Momoa, Javier Bardem and Anya Taylor-Joy.

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.

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.
