Cannes is putting the finishing touches on the lineup for its 79th edition, and to say this will be an eclectic mix of filmmakers vying for the Palme d’Or would be an understatement.

Remember “Troop Beverly Hills”? A sequel has just been announced, and it’s arguably one of the most unexpected follow-ups in recent memory.

McKay’s project was set to star Robert Pattinson, Robert Downey Jr., Amy Adams, Forest Whitaker, and Danielle Deadwyler. The budget was said to be very high ($150M+).

Todd Haynes might be shooting “De Noche” in black and white, which would make it only the third time he’s done that in his career, after “I’m Not There” and “Wonderstruck.”

Critics are decidedly underwhelmed, with the embargo having now lifted, and the third season currently holding a lukewarm 50% on Rotten Tomatoes.

WASK’s Thomas Gastaldi has his annual intel-filled Cannes spitball, and he’s hearing a rumor so wild that, even though I had heard about it from someone just a few days ago, I refused to believe it.

According to Deadline, a key role still needs to be cast, with Marisa Abela, Adria Arjona, and Ella Purnell having tested for it last week. Gunn is calling “bullsh*t.”

Conversations are underway about how to make them “cheaper and shorter,” so the investment becomes “less risky” for Disney.

Argentine filmmaker Lisandro Alonso is directing a remake of “Taste of Cherry” — the 1997 Palme d’Or-winning film by late Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami.

Steven Soderbergh, who has released nine films over the last seven years, isn’t set to shoot anything this year — unusual given how prolific he is — but it’s not for lack of trying.

That’s a wrap on What Happens at Night in Prague. All that’s left is interior shooting in New York City this month. It’s turning into one of Martin Scorsese’s shortest shoots in years.

Hawley, has decided to give cinema another shot. He has set up his sophomore directorial effort, “Terrified,” with Warner Bros., a remake of the Argentine supernatural thriller.

Was there any doubt it would actually keep it? While the original title raised more than a few eyebrows — there seems to be this broader push to position the comedy for multiplex audiences.

Coppola has described ‘Glimpses’ as a “strange 30s-style musical.” No cast has been announced so far. This will be a loose adaptation of Edith Wharton’s novel of the same name.

When an artistic misfire like “The Bride!” occurs, contrarian opinions are inevitable, and claims that the film has been “misunderstood” are bound to emerge.

Previously, Michael Lesslie—known for “The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” and “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t”—was scripting the film, revising an earlier draft by Aaron Rabin and Zach Dean.

Here’s the trailer for Olivia Wilde’s “The Invite,” picked up by A24 at Sundance for $12M and now set for June 26 release this summer.
