The David Leitch–directed “Jason Statham Stole My Bike” will be hitting theaters on Aug 6, 2027, via Black Bear. Principal photography wraps this week.

Has Netflix had a change of heart when it comes to Antoine Fuqua’s Carthaginian general Hannibal biopic starring Denzel Washington?

Now, the thought of sitting down for a near 2.5-hour MCU movie is not my idea of fun, but who knows, maybe a new director (Destin Daniel Cretton) will give us something fresh in ‘Brand New Day.’

The Wayans need not worry, since “Scary Movie 6” is headed toward a $40M+ opening this weekend—a solid feat for an R-rated comedy—and it’s not as if the previous five films were well-reviewed either.

This rating comes only three years after “Oppenheimer” became Nolan’s first R-rated movie in over 20 years; the last time was with 2002’s “Insomnia.” Before that, “Memento.”

Wim Wenders, a Palme d’Or- and Oscar-winning filmmaker, has decided to self-ban, or block, his 1975 film “Wrong Move,” after much protest from its actress, Nastassja Kinski.

Satrapi’s “Persepolis,” which she later adapted into a superb Oscar-nominated animated film, recounted her early years growing up in Tehran against the backdrop of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

These reactions come from press doing junkets/interviews. Most critics, including myself, will get to see it on Monday evening — the actual review embargo lifts on Tuesday, June 9th at 12 PM ET.

Every day, “Obsession” posts another number that should be impossible. And every day, the industry, the “experts,” respond with disbelief.

According to Sciamma, this new cut of “Girlhood” will now be the reference version going forward and will be the only one permitted for exhibition in any new release or retrospective.

We’re now seeing reporting that “Supergirl” actually has a budget of $175M, much higher than the $100M figure that had been circulating for months.

We have a fresh look at Bird’s retro sci-fi noir, which he has been developing since the 1990s and will debut on Netflix later this year. It does seem to have a fairly similar animation style to “The Incredibles.”

No word yet on a studio, but it will likely be either A24 or Neon, the latter of which has been Perkins’ exclusive home for the last four films he has directed.

Of course, backlash was inevitable—and it has arrived. Scorsese is now the most prominent, most respected filmmaker to publicly endorse generative AI.

Paramount is behind the film, and I gather a splashy 2027 premiere will be planned. Maybe Chazelle will make his debut at Cannes? He has 11 months to complete post-production before the next edition.

Roth’s “Ice Cream Man” is here, and the trailer goes incredibly hard. m surprised YouTube didn’t make me confirm I was 18 or older before viewing this mayhem.

In the latest issue of Sight and Sound, we are promised an “exclusive” op-ed from Tarantino about the current state of cinema, only to be met with three pages of him raving about—of all things— “The RIP.”

Kuritzkes, best known for “Challengers” and “Queer,” was on the shortlist to write the script for “Bond 26.” Steven Knight eventually got the gig. He also wrote the upcoming Don Winslow adaptation “City on Fire.”

Strong test scores helped Paramount position Jonathan Levine’s “Mr. Irrelevant” for a prestigious Christmas Day release, a window often reserved for major commercial and awards-season hopefuls.
