The $1 billion mark is certainly not out of the question for “Michael,” which would make it the first 2026 movie to pass that milestone. Not even ‘Super Marios Galaxy Movie’ ($940M) might reach it.

Part of the intrigue comes from the rarity of seeing Zellweger and Spacek commit to a new project — both actresses are famously selective, often taking years between roles.

Werner Herzog’s new film “Bucking Fastard” was aiming for a Cannes 2026 premiere, aiming for a competition spot, but was denied that. It did come close.

The Ice Cube-led Prime Video adaptation of H.G. Wells’ story was widely panned by critics, sitting at just 4% on Rotten Tomatoes and picking up five Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture.

Netflix has won a competitive bidding war for “Somewhere Out There,” a sci-fi spec script by Max Taxe, with Shawn Levy attached to direct.

The film would bring Bane back to the big screen for the first time since “The Dark Knight Rises,” where he was played, inaudibly, by Tom Hardy.

A-listers may be passing on the project because the lead roles are actually for “five children/teenagers,” rather than a top-tier Hollywood star.

Malek and filmmaker Sachs are teaming up on “The Man I Love,” a musical fantasia premiering in competition at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. THR’s puff piece positions Malek’s performance as Oscar worthy.

Based on current projections, “Mortal Kombat II” is tracking toward a $40M–$45M opening weekend, while some upside models push it closer to $50M if audience reception and walk-up business are strong.

It seems as though Scorsese’s fandom is very real, to the point where it’s translated into his casting of two Jude regulars for his next film.

Matt Reeves has officially shared a first look at “The Batman: Part II,” confirming that production is now ramping up on the sequel.

“Backrooms,” which hits theaters later this month, premiered last night at Beyond Fest, and honestly, given how generous social media reactions usually are, I expected the usual overwhelming praise.

Benh Zeitlin triumphed 14 years ago with “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” It went on to get nominated for Best Picture and set Zeitlin up as a possible heir to Terrence Malick’s brand of naturalist cinema.

The sequel is not currently in active development, despite periodic reports suggesting otherwise. We can stop talking about this one, for now.

Even with the backlash from some reviewers, fans pointed out to him that the reception overall has been far more positive than the 2021 film, citing that very generous 71% RT score.

Last October, Netflix landed “2034” after a heated multi-studio bidding war. Gordon-Levitt co-wrote the script for with Kieran Fitzgerald (“Snowden”), and Natasha Lyonne (“His Three Daughters”)

Now, almost a year and a half after the Oscar, Brody has finally signed on to star in something. He’s set to join Rachel Zegler in leading “Last Dance,” a new drama from Brazilian director Karim Aïnouz.

Here’s another hot package (via Variety). Miles Teller and Eddie Redmayne are in talks to star in “Star One,” a spy thriller directed by Doug Liman and set to be introduced to buyers at Cannes.

The project is described as a fresh, original story set in the familiar world where apes dominate, rather than a direct sequel to “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.”
