Reactions to Scott’s involvement in the film have been mixed. His brief line delivery in the teaser was criticized by some, and it is now confirmed he is playing a Bard in “The Odyssey.”

It’s time to ask our readers: what’s your most anticipated film of Cannes 2026? Vote in our poll! There’s not much in the way of Hollywood this year, but plenty of potentially significant titles.

Last summer, Paramount acquired the script “Doppelgänger,” written by Aneesh Chaganty and Dan Frey, positioning it as an original spy thriller with franchise potential.

What look like stellar early reviews coming in. It’s far too early to say for sure, but an 86 on Metacritic (from just six reviews) is already well beyond expectations.

Bong Joon Ho, coming off “Mickey 17,” has decided to make a family-friendly animated film called “Ally,” and NEON recently acquired it, which means it could potentially screen at Cannes.

Reed belonged to a generation that thought boredom itself could be a failure of art. Even when he was unfair, there was at least a human pulse behind the reaction.

This revelation will no doubt send detractors into overdrive, especially because speculation about Nyong’o’s role has been swirling for more than a year.

“Masters of the Universe” pre-sales are not good. A $25M for opening weekend is the current estimate. That figure is obviously weak considering the film carries a whopping production budget of $200M.

Frémaux maintains that Cannes does not deliberately exclude women, arguing instead that “films are chosen for their quality, not the gender of their directors.”

A “major filmmaker” is circling to direct “Westworld.” Koepp, who wrote Spielberg’s upcoming “Disclosure Day,” previously adapted Crichton’s “Jurassic Park” for the filmmaker.

Neon has acquired the U.S. domestic rights to Matt Johnson’s next film, currently titled “Untitled Matt Johnson Film,” and following the recent release of “Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.”

Hulu’s reboot of The X-Files from Ryan Coogler has cast Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, and Ben Foster who join previously announced leads Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler.

The film, shot in 2023, also stars Kurt Russell, Owen Teague, Cole Sprouse, and newcomer Angelina LookingGlass. Three years after production wrapped, audiences will finally be able to see what all the SXSW buzz was about.

Here is our very first image of James Gray’s “Paper Tiger,” set to compete for the Palme d’Or at the 79th Cannes Film Festival.

The adaptation is based on Haig’s 2020 novel, which became a global success with over 15 million copies sold and translations into 56 languages.

“Joker: Folie à Deux” is described as having been “swiftly trashed by festival critics” and effectively declared dead on arrival after its Venice premiere.

Schoenbrun is back. “Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, screening in the Un Certain Regard sidebar, but A24 isn’t returning to back up this film.

FKA twigs has officially signed on to portray Josephine Baker in a new feature biopic directed and co-written by Maïmouna Doucouré, best known for the controversial “Cuties” on Netflix.

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.
