We now have our first official look of Law as Putin in “The Wizard of Kremlin” — seen above. There’s an uncanny resemblance. This is good casting. 

The embargo lifted on “Caught Stealing,” and reviews are pretty good, not great, but good. It’s not ambitious like, say, “Black Swan,” but it seems like a fun time at the movies.

Spike Lee’s reimagining “stands shoulder to shoulder with Kurosawa’s film”? A wild take, and one which I believe not too many critics would be in agreement with.

Van Sant is planning, as his next project, to tackle one of the more infamous personalities of the present decade: Sam Bankman-Fried.

Barbera gets asked what films from this year’s Venice lineup might contend for Oscars. Turns out, he seems to have given up on predicting. Mostly due to the Craig snub.

During a GQ roundtable with Lee and co-star A$AP Rocky, the two-time Oscar winner admitted he’s simply had enough of the medium he’s dominated for over four decades.

The film has completed post-production and received an MPA rating — R for “strong/bloody violent content, sexual content/nudity and language.”

If there’s a musical that influences Eisenberg’s style here then it’s Woody Allen’s “Everyone Says I Love You” — deliberately old-fashioned, whimsical, and natural singing.

Allen now has to defend his recent appearance in Russia, but also semi-apologize, in a statement sent over to the Associated Press and CNN.

Some predicted Neon, A24, or even MUBI might snatch up the rights to K-Stew’s directorial effort, but I sure didn’t. There was just no way they’d take the bait

Since Iran would never submit Jafar Panahi’s recent Palme d’Or winner “It Was Just an Accident,” its French producers, Philippe Martin and David Thion, are pushing for a French submission.

The 137-minute film, shot in 34 days on 70mm film with a budget under $10M, exemplifies audacious technical ambition.

Here’s a lock for Cannes 2026. Sony Pictures Classics has picked up Pedro Almodóvar’s latest film, “Bitter Christmas,” which recently wrapped production.

“Is This Thing On?” follows Bradley Cooper’s previous directorial outings, “A Star Is Born” and “Maestro,” both of which premiered on the fall festival circuit.

Chloé Zhao is back. After her Oscar win for “Nomadland” and the Marvel flop of “Eternals,” the filmmaker has returned to more “personal” cinema.

Behind the scenes, I kept hearing that nobody wanted to touch this doc, with distributor after distributor passing on it. It’s finally landed with a low-key studio.

I arrived at Venice a few hours ago, but for sh*ts and giggles, here’s the latest movie list people are talking about — The Ringer ranks their 101 Best Performances of the 21st Century.

Shane Black’s “Play Dirty” will be hitting Prime Video on October 1. That’s a real shame. Would’ve loved to see Black’s pulp sensibilities on the big screen where they belong.

This is a raw and unflinching look at homelessness and mental illness on London’s streets, premiered in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard sidebar back in May.

An adaptation of Andrew Ridker’s novel, this will be Baumbach’s third collaboration with A24 after their work together on 2015’s “While We’re Young,” and “De Palma.”
