The 2007 film, a vital contender for the great American epic of the 21st century, is arguably PTA’s greatest achievement—a film that demands and rewards multiple viewings.

I’m not usually one to track Cannes standing ovations with a stopwatch, or even report on them, but in this era of endless over-applause, a three-minute ovation usually means something didn’t quite land.

Zvyagintsev actually positions “Minotaur” as a remake to Claude Chabrol’s “The Unfaithful Wife,” which itself was already remade by Adrian Lyne with 2002’s “Unfaithful”

“Michael” is now set to reclaim the #1 spot at the box office in its fourth weekend of release. The smash hit from Lionsgate is projected to earn around $25M this weekend

Who’d a thunk it? Jordan Firstman, known for his viral social media “impressions” and indie film work, has delivered a wonderful directorial debut at Cannes Film Festival with “Club Kid.”

Michael Fassbender is set join Selena Gomez in Brady Corbet’s next film, which is currently in pre-production, with a 50-day shoot slated for Portugal and South Africa.

Yesterday, James Franco mentioned how he was cast in an upcoming “blockbuster” set for a 2027 release, but refused to reveal what it was. We now know the answer.

What is going on here exactly? Ever since reviews dropped I’ve been wanting to check it out, curious as to whether these raves were justified. What did our readers think of this film?

Yes, above is an image of auteur John Travolta at the Cannes Film Festival, where he just premiered his 61-minute directorial debut, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach.”

Raimi is set to direct a modern remake of “Magic,” based on the William Goldman novel Magic, which was previously adapted into the 1978 film directed by Richard Attenborough, starring Anthony Hopkins.

“Obsession.” which sits at 79 on Metacritic, nabbed $2.6M in previews on Thursday and is headed towards a $15M weekend, maybe more if word of mouth manages to spread fast enough through Sunday.

What’s interesting is how much this film feels like a culmination — and also a possible breaking point — for the ideas Hamaguchi has been circling since “Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy.”

A brief update on M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Remain,’ which hits theaters in February 2027. The filmmaker is reuniting with one of his key early collaborators, and it’s definitely something to look forward to.

Apparently, Cameron and Robert Rodriguez are discussing an extremely fast-paced filmmaking project that they hope to shoot in just 17 days.

This was a huge gamble for Warner Bros., with a budget rumored to be close to $140M. Given that the film has earned only $130M worldwide and brought Bong the most divisive reviews of his career, many laid the blame on him.

Man, we’ve truly run out of ideas, haven’t we? Here comes word, via THR, that a female version of the The Expendables franchise, tentatively titled “Expendabelles,” is now in the works.

Franco claims he has a role in a “big studio movie” — the first blockbuster, he tells the outlet, that he’s appeared in for close to a decade.

Some journalists are complaining online that they’ve been told by publicists that “The Mandalorian and Grogu” won’t be screened for critics in their area.

Brian Tyree Henry and Sebastian Koch have joined the cast. There’s no word yet on who they’ll be playing. Dr. Arkham is reportedly part of the film, so perhaps one of them could be taking on that role.

Critics are really having it out for “Parallel Tales” here at Cannes. It’s getting trounced in almost every review. Will we get a worse reviewed competition title this year? I have my doubts.
