And just like that, after Venice and Telluride, the Best Actor race is taking shape, with Andrew Scott (“Elsinore”) and John Malkovich (“Wild Horse Nine”) emerging as major contenders.

When asked if “The Odyssey” had led to “getting a zillion calls” for new roles, the Oscar nominee revealed that work has been slow, despite now being able to “do some of my best work.”

Adam Wingard’s “Onslaught,” which hit theaters yesterday, has not been getting the best reviews, as it currently sits at 57% on Rotten Tomatoes, and its box office numbers are looking pretty grim.

Bruce Campbell has given an update on his battle with cancer. If you remember, back in March, Campbell had revealed the cancer diagnosis, and that it was “treatable” but not “curable.”

“Tender Loving Care,” apparently his last film, Leigh’s own words, has now been screened at Telluride, and the reviews are great. Why is this film not at Venice?

His reasoning is simple: Cregger sees himself first and foremost as a writer, and he has little interest in shaping stories around the predetermined “data points” that come with established IP.

The news arrives as “Spider-Noir” earned 11 Emmy nominations, making it Prime Video’s most-nominated show this year. The series has also earned strong audience and critical scores.

It gives me no pleasure to report that this is one of the worst films of Schrader’s career. Wooden acting, Jack Huston and Sofia Boutella are badly miscast, the script is dull, the photography is flat; nothing works.

The movie, due to release in 2027, is described as “a haunting Western thriller that follows a retired U.S. Marshal whose forty-year search for his wife’s killer leads him to an outlaw losing his memory.

Alongside Blanchett, the film features a wildly eclectic ensemble including Dave Bautista, Lily-Rose Depp, Riley Keough, Léa Seydoux, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Chris Pine

The film grossed only $205M against a $150M budget, losing Paramount a significant amount of money. It did, however, gain a decent following on streaming, but the financial risk for a sequel is ever-present.

Ah, yes — the neverending saga of the next ‘Fast & Furious’ movie, which has been plagued by delays, and Universal demanding Vin Diesel cut the budget by almost $150M.

Malkovich, a two-time Oscar nominee, fought back tears while the audience cheered him, which has become a first-stop tradition to kick-start an Oscar campaign — tears need to be shed!

So this next film by The Daniels, Scheinert and Kwan, of “EEAAO” fame, is looking exactly like we expected it to be.

The film involves much more than just a hurricane. The script includes a gunman, major flooding, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, aliens, and a secret magical bunker under the Waffle House.

Watch out for “The Odyssey,” which, after a $1.8M Wednesday, is back at #1 at the domestic box office, dethroning “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” which grossed $1.7M.

There are a few laughs, mostly at the start, and occasional visual treats, including a jaw-dropping cave setting in the final stretch, but the movie increasingly feels like an experiment in narrative improvisation.

World Premieres will include Simon Stone’s “Elsinore,” Jesse Eisenberg’s “The Debut,” Mike Leigh’s “Tender Loving Care,” Andrew Haigh’s “A Long Winter,” and The Zellner’s “Alpha Gang.”

The actresses being considered to play Adele Astaire — Fred’s older sister — in the Paul King-directed biopic are now down to Monica Barbaro and Margaret Qualley.
