Amazon unveiled its glossy new set of digital posters for every 007 film in the franchise, but fans noticed something off. Very off.

There’s been a lot of debate about whether the film should be considered a “success.” Despite very likely losing Warner Bros. a significant amount of money, it’s a major Oscar contender.

Terry Gilliam, now 84, had hoped to make one final film to crown his illustrious career — a project titled “Carnival at the End of Days,” featuring an impressive cast.

Back in August, I reported A24 was so confident in Josh Safdie’s “Marty Supreme” that they might give it an early splash at NYFF as a “surprise screening.” It now looks like it’s happening.

Suffice it to say, things aren’t looking great for Dwayne Johnson’s film at the moment. It only made $1.9M on Friday, not counting Thursday previews.

There’s no script. No release date. No cast. And Universal isn’t even certain it wants another one—at least not unless they can slash about $150M from the budget.

The film was shot on 35mm VistaVision by three-time Oscar winner Emmanuel Lubezki and, according to Iñárritu, will be released “sometime next fall.”

Jason Bateman is gearing up for his third directorial feature (via Deadline), teaming with Universal on an adaptation of John Grisham’s “The Partner.”

If you’re sick and tired of ‘Avatar,’ there’s hope! For the franchise to continue, the upcoming third film will need to earn more than just $1 billion at the box office for the franchise to live another day.

Rebecca Miller is premiering “Mr. Scorsese” at the New York Film Festival, a five-hour documentary on Martin Scorsese. I won’t get into every detail of the series, which I’ve seen, but there is a fascinating section on “Gangs of New York.”

We’re now looking at a single-digits opening ($8M) against a reported $50–60M budget, which would be a tough pill for both Johnson and A24 to swallow.

Park specifically points to “an old Western script” written by S. Craig Zahler, titled “Brigands of Rattlecreek,” which he says he really wants to make next.

Adam Driver and Anne Hathaway have now been confirmed as the leads in Ron Howard’s upcoming war film “Alone at Dawn.” 

The film has now screened at two different genre festivals — Beyond Fest and Fantastic Fest — within the span of two weeks, and it has been generating considerable buzz.

Tobias Menzies — best known for his work on “Outlander,” “Game of Thrones,” and “The Crown” — is reportedly in talks for a major role in Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II.”

Akiva Goldsman wrote the script. Francis Lawrence is supposed to return to direct, and, of course, Keanu Reeves will reprise the lead role.

It’s a position Allen has repeated many times: he’ll make films as long as someone is willing to bankroll them, but he won’t compromise. That support is unlikely to come from Hollywood.

The “lost movies” of 2020: the films from early on in the pandemic that deserved a better fate, but were nixed from theatrical release and relegated to being streamed at home.

What’s truly perplexing is how a rising talent like Powell, whose star has been steadily ascending thanks to smart film choices, would attach himself to a series this braindead.

Don’t expect Leigh Whannell to return, though. He’s already expressed zero interest in making the sequel, saying he was satisfied with the film’s “perfect” ending.
