There’s been endless speculation about whether DiCaprio would play the Vincent Hanna or Chris Shiherlis role, and it turns out even he doesn’t know.

To qualify for a Spirit Award, films must have been made for under $30M, which rules out quite a few Oscar contenders, including “One Battle After Another” “Sinners,” “Hamnet,” and “Marty Supreme.”

Is it already game over for DC Studios and James Gunn? It’s a bit worrying that Zach Cregger (“Weapons”) is shopping his DC film to Skydance. I thought Gunn still had the authority to greenlight DC projects…

My worst suspicions about James L. Brooks’ “Ella McCay” were purely based on the dreadful trailer, which made it look tonally messy, but I still wanted to see it. There’s a pull of nostalgia to this damn thing that I can’t ignore.

Tarantino called Dano “weak sauce,” “the limpest dick in the world,” and the “weakest actor of SAG.” What was he thinking? Well, maybe he wasn’t thinking at all.

the film will have a budget well over $100M, and some of that money will come from Saudi Arabia, which is also backing the Ellisons’ bid for Warner Bros. Discovery.

The third and final entry remains unfunded by Sony. Whether it gets made will hinge entirely on the second instalment’s performance. Boyle has even stated that Cillian Murphy would lead the third film.

Speaking to Le Monde while discussing “One Battle After Another,” PTA pushed back on the idea that the industry no longer greenlights daring, original projects.

“In the Grey” has just been given a rating in Germany, with a runtime of 100 minutes — which means the film has wrapped post-production. They’re just going to release the film as is.

Messerschmidt — known for his work with Fincher (“Mindhunter,” “Mank,” “The Killer”) and Michael Mann (“Ferrari”) — is a somewhat inspired choice.

The online hive-mind has struck again — this time aimed at Rolling Stone for leaving Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” off its “Top 20 Movies of 2025” list. I’m serious. This is what it’s come down to.

The New York Film Critics Circle (NYFCC), the most important critics group in the country, announced their 2025 winners. Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” won the top prize.

So, apparently, Hirokazu Kore-eda is releasing two movies next year. We already know about “Sheep in the Box,” which began production in September and was picked up by Neon for U.S. release.

Quentin Tarantino has completed his list. Guesting on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, he announced his 20 best films of the 21st century — only one film allowed per director.

Based on the reactions I’d heard over the last few months, the trailer is exactly what I expected. The film is a chamber piece set in a single location, with sporadic concert footage sprinkled throughout.

Like many of my cohorts, I attended a 9 a.m. screening on Monday of James Cameron’s third entry in the franchise. With the review embargo still in place, only social media reactions are permitted, and they’ve been mixed so far.

Panahi is now says that he won’t seek asylum in any country and in fact plans to return to Tehran to serve his jail sentence after Oscar season concludes. A brave man.

Tarantino’s career is filled with “what ifs,” unrealized projects that almost happened but didn’t. The most famous may indeed be “The Vega Brothers.”

There could even be a deal finalized before Christmas. The offers are binding, meaning the board can move swiftly and approve an agreement if it meets their objectives.

Spielberg’s UFO film, which has been going by a few working titles — “Disclosure,” “The Dish,” and “Non-View” — will mark the filmmaker’s 30th collaboration with composer John Williams.
