Based purely on upfront salaries alone and not including backend participation, we’re looking at $100M+ just to bring back Robbie, Gosling, Gerwig and Baumbach. The total budget of the first film was $145M.

Netflix is getting increasingly serious about theatrical, and its latest announcement is another indication that the streamer is slowly moving closer to the traditional studio model.

Wachowski is still trying hard to get “The Hunted,” a new film about transphobia, off the ground. It’s a film co-written with Wachowski’s partner, Mickey Ray Mahoney, and an indictment of the “current climate.”

The embargo has lifted on “The End Oak Street,” and we might have one last good studio summer movie in our hands — actually two, if you count “Coyote vs Acme,” which I’ll get to a little later.

This could mean that Lowden has made it through to the next round, alongside Jacob Elordi, and will be auditioning this month for the role. No word yet on who the other candidates are.

Affleck has directed four fairly well-reviewed films (“The Town,” “Gone Baby Gone,” “Air,” and “Argo”), including a Best Picture winner (“Argo”) and a recent misfire (“Live by Night”).

A June 25, 2027 release date has been set for “Oceans.” This will be Cooper’s fourth directorial effort after “A Star Is Born,” “Maestro,” and “Is This Thing On?”

“A Statement” stars Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, and John Turturro. The film marks the return of McCarthy, a filmmaker we haven’t heard from in a while. It’s been five years since “Stillwater,” starring Matt Damon.

David Ellison has given his Paramount leadership team a stark ultimatum over the company’s legal battle with California regulators and the proposed $110 billion Warner Bros. merger.

Clockwork announced that “The Devils” has been rated NC-17 by the MPA, which, as far as I’m concerned, is basically free marketing. Much of the audience anticipating this release was hoping for this rating.

For Haigh, the film feels like an “endpoint” in his career so far. Shot on film with DP André Turpin, “A Long Winter” was filmed in the Calgary wilderness, the same area used for “The Revenant.”

Jacob Elordi is set to co-star opposite Scarlett Johansson in “Scapegoat,” the upcoming thriller from Ari Aster, who is directing from his own script. A24, which has released his past four films, will distribute.

The good news is that Cuarón is only writing “Ascension,” meaning he won’t be tied up with directing duties and should still have room in his schedule for a long-awaited return to cinema.
