That Ti West–directed Ebenezer Scrooge movie, “A Christmas Carol,” starring Johnny Depp and backed by Paramount? It’s really happening.

How many other actors have had a long span between winning an Oscar and appearing in their next film? Not many. Renée Zellweger seems to be one of the very few exceptions.

“The Mummy” franchise has been revived. A sequel is officially happening over at Universal — Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are set to return in their respective roles.

At this point, the only “Star Trek” movie I’m actually interested in seeing is Quentin Tarantino’s “batsh*t crazy” R-rated take, which, given his silly 10-film rule, will probably never happen.

It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

Schwarzenegger has already met multiple times with “Predator: Badlands” director Dan Trachtenberg to explore the possibility. They really want him to come back.

The review embargo has just lifted. Reactions lean on the positive. It currently stands at 68 on Metacritic. The Daily Beast’s Nick Schrager says it’s “the series’ second best instalment.”

Whoops! “After the Hunt” cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed actually let it slip in a Deadline interview that Zendaya was actually supposed to play the Ayo Edebiri role in Luca Guadagnino’s film.

Just when you thought this franchise was dead, Lionsgate has acquired the rights to “The Expendables” IP, not to mention the upcoming “Rambo” sequel starring Noah Centineo.

Schrader is asked, with now over 50 years of filmmaking under his belt, what he believes to be his best film. Is it “Mishima”, the film he once hailed as his masterpiece? Not anymore.

While doing the press rounds for Lynne Ramsay’s “Die My Love” (good film), Jennifer Lawrence confirms that Martin Scorsese’s “What Happens at Night” is definitely happening.

Guillermo Del Toro’s film, which won top prize at Savannah, actually hit theaters over two weeks ago, on more than 1000 screens. The film is set to arrive on streaming this Friday.

An “Ocean’s Eleven” prequel is set to shoot in 2026, with Margot Robbie and Bradley Cooper leading the cast. Lee Isaac Chung (“Minari”) is directing, and Linus Sandgren (“La La Land,” “Saltburn,” “Babylon”) will be DP.

From the get-go, “Snow White” was mired in controversy. You could easily choose any of the following reasons for its downfall; CGI dwarves? Rachel Zegler? Multiple delays? Disney’s never-ending string of live-action remakes?

After turning heads with ‘Good One,” India Donaldson has set up her sophomore effort, this time with A24’s backing. Titled “The Chaperones,” the film is also being produced by Brad Pitt’s Plan B Productions.

According to a new Telegraph feature by Alexander Larman titled “The Pot-Smoking Jesus Film We May Never See,” Terrence Malick’s long-gestating biblical epic “The Way of the Wind” remains stuck in post-production — and might never be released.

The Criterion Channel will premiere “Blossoms Shanghai” on November 24, marking the first North American release of the filmmaker’s 30-episode series. The trailer can be seen below.

Boots Riley has already shot his next film, titled “I Love Boosters.” In fact, it wrapped production in November 2024, and it’s now set up a release date, along with a first-look image.

It’s been announced that “Black Phone 2,” distributed by Blumhouse, is headed to VOD tomorrow. That’s only 18 days in theaters for a film that just crossed the $100M worldwide mark.

As for the box-office receipts: Variety recently claimed Warner Bros. stands to lose $100+.  But it might have been worth it just for those 11 Oscar noms alone, and it’s quite possible the film will have a lasting shelf-life on streaming.
