This year, I’ve noticed the debate about the unusually large gap between movie critics and general audiences coming up again, especially around major blockbusters.

The Cannes Film Festival has finally revealed its 2026 competition jury, a nine-member international panel of filmmakers, actors, and writers who will decide the winner of this year’s Palme d’Or.

Patrick Schwarzenegger has joined the cast of S. Craig Zahler’s The Bookie & The Bruiser, stepping into a dual-role setup opposite Vince Vaughn, Theo James, and Fred Melamed.

Amazon/MGM has decided that “Artificial” won’t be released in the fall — instead it is now aiming for an early 2027 release because it “didn’t want the film to go up against ‘The Social Network’ sequel.”

If there’s one film that has only been gaining momentous appreciation since its release, at least with audiences worldwide, it’s Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar.”

“Tony” is directed by Matt Johnson. Emilia Jones, Antonio Banderas, Leo Woodall, Rich Sommer, and Stavros Halkias (!) are also part of the cast.

In an interview with Douglas Greenwood, Korine — quite surprisingly — professes a desire to return to non-EDGLRD cinema, the type of narrative films that made him a household name.

The Cannes Film Festival has not yet officially announced its full jury lineup, but reports suggest a very good reason why there has been such a delay.

“Michael” is now the second-highest-grossing musical biopic of all time at $300M, surpassing “Elvis” and trailing “Bohemian Rhapsody” ($911M), which it could realistically pass in a few weeks’ time.

There are currently no plot details for the film, but it is being touted as a “paranoid thriller” in the vein of “The Silence of the Lambs,” involving a cyberterrorist threat.

Director Spike Lee sat down with CNN, and he’s defending “Michael,” slamming critics and even sharing that he’s seen the movie “twice” and “loved it.”

Meirelles has Netflix’s “Here Comes the Flood,” starring Robert Pattinson and Denzel Washington, coming out this fall. The Brazilian filmmaker is best known for his acclaimed work on “City of God.”

The streaming numbers on Nia DaCosta’s “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” just dropped—and they’re not pretty.

Those last two ‘Mission: Impossible’ films, ‘Dead Reckoning’ and ‘Final Reckoning,’ had very difficult productions; the latter saw its budget balloon to $400M-plus, and the two-part finale drew mixed reviews

Hill, coming off the miserable reviews of “Outcome,” now has yet another one of his films delayed. “Cut Off,” originally set to hit theaters in July, has been removed from the calendar.

Streep argues that “Marvel-ized” storytelling has flattened characters into predictable heroes and villains, whereas real life — and more interesting cinema — involves morally complex, “messier” people.

Narnia was originally slated for an Imax theatrical release over Thanksgiving 2026, followed by a Netflix debut on Christmas Day. Instead, the release has now been pushed back to February 12, 2027.

We haven’t gotten much more promo lately, but the new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” will release on Monday. It’ll premiere on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has approved a significant set of updated rules for the 99th Oscars in 2027, and much of it has to do with AI.

Zhao was already a jury member at the Venice Film Festival in 2021, which had been presided over by Bong Joon Ho. This time around, her team leader would be Park Chan-wook.
