This one was shot in 2024. Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer lead Amazon/MGM’s “Blade Runner 2099.” Yeoh signed on to play the role of Olwyn, and Hunter Schafer was cast in the lead role as Cora.

If you remember, Leigh’s “Hard Truths” had also been rejected by Venice in 2024, as well as Cannes, and the filmmaker wasn’t shy about saying so during the film’s press run.

Now that Brad Bird has made “Ray Gunn,” a 30-year passion project plagued by delays and studio switcheroos, will he finally get to realize “1906”?

We now have our first clip from “Bucking Fastard,” which is set to screen in Competition at Venice this September, and it’s certainly a curiosity.

Here’s the trailer, which arrives just as Depp made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con. He seems to be having a ball playing the character—but will we have as much fun watching the movie?

Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s next sci-fi movie is supposed to start shooting a few weeks from now, for now, it goes by the working title “Thasnagar.”

Yep, they’re going through with it. A film that absolutely does not demand a remake is, in fact, being remade. This is as bad as Robert Downey Jr.’s plans to remake Hitchcock’s “Vertigo.”

Sources close to the movie claim that Neon is “bullish” on “Artificial’s” awards prospects, believing it “should at least feature in the awards conversation.” So, when is it actually coming out?

Two major talking points have emerged from this morning’s Venice lineup announcement. The first is the lack of Hollywood titles. The second is the lack of female filmmakers.

“Supergirl” has grossed $70M domestically and $120M worldwide against a budget reported to be anywhere between $170M and $186M. It’s turned into a problem for James Gunn’s DCU.

Aronofsky is raising capital for Primordial Soup, an AI-focused studio he founded to develop films and storytelling projects built around generative AI. He needs $15M to make his wish come true.

Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” reboot, which has tested very well, now has a new trailer. It looks like a frenetic banger—a great way to whet our appetites for September’s most anticipated movie.

The general consensus this morning is that the lineup for the 83rd Venice Film Festival is underwhelming. It’s such an odd year, with the same challenges as Cannes in locking Hollywood titles.

A few weeks ago, Ridley Scott told Empire magazine that his adaptation of “Treasure Island,” starring Hugh Jackman, was his top priority—provided he could find a studio willing to finance it.

While we await Mike Judge’s next film—which may or may never happen—he has lined up a new project at Apple TV+ and managed to secure two major stars as his leads.

“Company” marks Affleck’s third feature as a director, following the 2010 mockumentary “I’m Still Here” and 2019’s “Light of My Life,” which had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.

Cohen has shot a new Ali G movie, reportedly having wrapped production recently. Amazon/MGM is behind the film, set to be Cohen’s directorial debut, and hitting theaters this fall.

Powell will portray the legendary New York Yankees first baseman, with Linklater directing and Simon Rich (“Artificial”) writing the screenplay.

Tom Cruise is actually dead serious about making “Days of Thunder 2” — so much so that THR is now reporting it will be his next film, with production revving up to begin, possibly as early as this fall.

A trailer has arrived for “Clayface,” the upcoming DC Studios feature directed by James Watkins and written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, positioning the film as a Halloween-season release for 2026.
