“Monsters Inc. 3” is now officially happening, coming in 2029 or 2030, which will be around 16 years since the last one, “Monsters University,” helmed by Dan Scanlon.

The first two ‘Smile’ films were made for cheap, and there was no reason to believe that another one wouldn’t get made. Sadly, Finn, their creator, is not coming back.

Lynne Ramsay admits she’s not sure if the ending of her most recent film, “Die My Love,” was the right one, and might change it many months after its theatrical release last November.

What is Lord of the Rings without ambition? We’ve already had two trilogies happen, the other being the much-divisive ‘Hobbit’ releases. How about another one?

Remember last summer when Quentin Tarantino hinted that he was pausing work on his tenth and final movie to write a play? Well, he wasn’t kidding.

We actually have David Ellison to thank for this — helping Megan, his sister, resurrect her indie label, potentially within his Warner-Paramount deal, is probably the best news we will hear about this merger.

The reboot now stars Scarlett Johansson, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Diane Lane, Noah Jupe, Laurence Fishburne, Sasha Calle and John Leguizamo.

Matt Reeves is expected to begin production on “The Batman: Part II” on May 29 in London. Nearly all of the major roles have been cast, with one exception: Christopher Dent, the father of Harvey Dent.

The review embargo has lifted on Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride,” and it’s not looking good for Warner Bros’ $100M-costing movie.

A THR piece tackling the Oscars asks the simple question: “Why Not Timothée?”; this comes after Scott Feinberg reported on Sunday that Chalamet’s “swagger” has “put off” many Oscar voters.

HBO’s “Lanterns” follows intergalactic law enforcers Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) as they investigate a murder in rural Nebraska.
