Someone at A24 must have seen “Obsession”; the studio just hired that film’s director — Curry Barker — to helm their upcoming “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” reboot.

Confirmed by Deadline, the film cost $200M to produce—easily making it the most expensive music biopic in movie history. Current projections have “Michael” opening to $150M worldwide, though I think it’ll go even higher.

After Academy discussions, James Ortiz is now eligible to campaign for best supporting actor — Amazon/MGM plans on submitting him in the category.

Meanwhile, some great news for A24: “The Drama” has legs. The Zendaya- and Robert Pattinson-starring vehicle just surpassed the $100M mark at the global box office. The budget was only $25M.

Apparently, Sydney Sweeney was supposed to be in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” in a cameo role playing herself, but her scene(s) has been cut.

Last I checked, “Michael” was eyeing $80M+ on opening, and that is still a possibility, but critics have been harsh. The word “sanitized” appears frequently in these reviews.

There’s also continued speculation about casting, including whether longtime supporters like Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem might appear, which would certainly raise the project’s profile.

The script will be turned in very soon, and word is that producer Jerry Bruckheimer is fully acknowledging the fact that “Top Gun: Maverick” director Joe Kosinski will not return.

Hill’s film cost Apple $80M. Furthermore, for some reason, a quarter of the budget went to Hill as director, who earned an insane $20M — the type of salary Tarantino and Scorsese earn per project.

It’s a striking development for Baker, who lived in a tiny West Hollywood apartment, and famously left the 2025 Oscars, mid-ceremony to walk his dog at home

Akiva Goldsman, who returns to write the sequel, has said that “I Am Legend 2” will use the “alternate ending” as canon, effectively treating it as if Smith’s Dr. Robert Neville never died.

Former Marvel artists are telling Polygon that these changes could significantly affect how Marvel movies look and feel going forward. Is that a bad thing?

What an odd pairing, and yet so much potential. Oscar-winning filmmaker Brian Helgeland will write and direct “Outside Man.”

It’s late April, which means summer movies are about to be unleashed onto audiences, young and old, from the first week of May through the last week of August.

A list of the most underrated films of the 2000s was already published over the weekend, and inspired by the debate—and the 400+ comments it generated—how about we tackle the 2010s?

The bar’s not exactly high. The original limped to a $68M global box office on a $75M budget and earned lukewarm reviews at best. Of course, there wouldn’t be a sequel without a cult following.

Millie Bobby Brown is set to team up with Hooper, a directing Oscar winner, for an adaptation of her own New York Times bestselling novel “Nineteen Steps” for Netflix.

The premiere will come ten months after the delay. Critics had been sent advance screeners and had reviews written, ready to publish, only to be told to hold off until further notice.

Now, eight years after his last feature, a trailer from his long-gestating “Rogue Trooper” adaptation has landed. Jones’ adaptation will be CG-animated rather than live action. It was shot in 2023.
