Just five Cannes competition titles still seek U.S. distribution, four of them subpar, all French. The fifth, and easily the best film still without US studio attachment, is Ira Sachs’ “The Man I Love.”

McConaughey recently said that “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” is the movie that pays him the most in residuals—the ongoing “mailbox money” he receives from the film being shown, streamed, and rented.

Despite the Venice launch, “Company” has so far failed to land a berth at any of the major North American fall festivals. It was not announced by Toronto, Telluride or the New York Film Festival.

The story being told in “Gold Mountain” feels right at home for Lee — especially after his tech-obsessed filmmaking of the last 14 years (“Life of Pi,” “Billy Lynn’s Halftime Walk,” “Gemini Man”).

Hoult has dropped out of ‘Harry Potter’ and has been replaced by Kit Connor. Hoult’s reason was “scheduling issues,” and hey, maybe it really was “scheduling issues,” but the timing is rather odd.

Gunn has previously called Batman his “biggest issue” in the DCU and spoken at length about how difficult it is to develop a version of the character that feels distinct enough from Reeves’ vision.

If the movie is as rough as some in the industry seem to fear, that teaser may have been less of a marketing campaign and more of a public plea for somebody to finally take the damn thing.

Since “The Sopranos” bowed out in 2007, Chase has dabbled in film, directing 2012’s “Not Fade Away” and writing the “Sopranos” spinoff “The Many Saints of Newark.”

Synopsis: “Shot at night on the rooftops of Tel Aviv, the film reveals in detail the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza”.

Ah, yes — Ridley Scott must be promoting a new movie, which means lots of ridiculous quotes from the many interviews he’s doing. Here’s the latest example.

Ferguson had briefly teased the movie as a romance, while Lee previously told Screen that she was “scared to do it,” explaining that it’s a romance between two women and a role she hadn’t tackled before.

We now have a number, courtesy of “Narnia” DP Seamus McGarvey, who, in a recent podcast appearance, casually remarked that the film had a $280M production budget.

Not more than 24 hours later, Guy Ritchie’s role offer to Markle has now reportedly been withdrawn. The story goes that they don’t want her in the show anymore “after intense backlash in the U.K.”

Now that “Camp Miasma” has reached a wider rollout, what did our readers think of the film? Does it deserve all the raves it’s been getting? I’ll give it a rewatch soon, but for now, I’m in the mixed camp.

The sequel will arrive more than 20 years after the original and nearly two decades after “National Treasure: Book of Secrets,” with Turteltaub returning to direct.

That $100M budget is a steep investment for a movie without conventional A-list headliners — unless Lily James and Pierce Brosnan fit that description for you.

Something tells me Mark Ruffalo won’t be starring in a Paramount movie again anytime soon. Ruffalo is now accusing the Ellison family of complicity in “genocide,” escalating his already fierce merger opposition.

This is a significant update for a project that has been stuck in development for years, and comes roughly a year after Brolin said “Sicario 3” was a maybe.

Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” followed a similar four-month window, landing on digital and physical media at the same time. Universal also waited until roughly a month before making it official.

The big wide release this weekend is “Insidious: Out of the Further,” backed by Sony and Blumhouse. This is the sixth ‘Insidious’ movie, and since they are made cheaply, it won’t be the last.
