In the spirit of “Obsession,” I recently compiled a list of films made before 1980 that had budgets under $1M and proved that you can make a great movie without excessive spending.

For many months now, I had been hearing that Olivia Wilde, riding high off the excellent reviews for “The Invite,” was going to start production on her next directorial effort, “Naughty,” for Universal.

“Supergirl,” coming off a disastrous $37M opening last weekend and now heading for a steep drop, with a projected second weekend of only $10M+.

Neon did not pay the upfront licensing fee that distributors usually dish out to acquire a film. They will be in charge of paying for marketing and distribution (P&A).

George Clooney will receive the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the 83rd edition of the Venice Film Festival. He has now fully transformed into Jay Kelly.

We might not be getting “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” anytime soon, but Kevin Costner has decided to refocus his attention on the ultimate western of his career.

Navarette revealed that she had recently met with director Michael Mann for an undisclosed project. What movie other than “Heat 2” could this meeting have been about?

The film was scheduled to shoot this summer in Italy but was suddenly halted in pre production, and is now effectively dead due to budget concerns—the rumored price tag for the film was over $200M.

Two weeks ago, we were being told that Universal was about to do something almost unheard of these days with Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Turns out, it was a mirage.

No cast has been announced for “Fast Forever.” Seemingly, “Fast X” helmer Louis Leterrier may return as director, although that remains unconfirmed. Michael Lesslie is writing the script.

It already raised eyebrows when Paramount scheduled the film for a January 15, 2027 release—a month often viewed as a studio dumping ground—and now the situation has become more intriguing.

Nolan wanted “The Odyssey” to “feel visceral and modern,” and, given the brutality of the era it depicts, there would be none of the compromise of PG-13.

A bombshell THR report tackling “Supergirl” claims DC Studios actually held a “bakeoff,” testing competing cuts from filmmaker Craig Gillespie and James Gunn amid their “creative differences,”

A newly published report tackles the behind-the-scenes chaos surrounding “Artificial.” It questions whether Amazon/MGM actually shelved the film because of its AI ties—or whether its quality was ultimately what did it in.

Scott’s top priority seems to be “Treasure Island,” with Hugh Jackman, which he wants to shoot first but still needs to find a studio willing to finance it.

Finally, after a year of negotiations, Leonardo DiCaprio has decided he will star in Michael Mann’s sequel, which will start shooting in November, according to TheWrap’.

A casting grid on Production Weekly has Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s mystery sci-fi movie going by the title “Thasnagar” — check below.

Anderson says the idea has been percolating in his head for years. “For many years, we’ve talked about doing a Western. Owen and Luke Wilson, I think, will be a part of that… I think it’s our destiny.”
