Some are starting to believe that Netflix may finally be softening its long-held resistance to theatrical movies — or maybe it’s all optics. It’s hard to tell.

It pains me to say this, but Casey Affleck’s “Company,” as beautifully shot as it might be—by eight different cinematographers, no less—has a story, or stories, that just don’t take off.

Mulaney will star as wisenheimer Agent Maxwellg Smart. Seth Grahame-Smith (“Now You See Me, Now You Don’t”) is penning the screenplay. David O. Russell was attached to direct in 2024.

Daniel Kaluuya took a sabbatical from acting back in 2022. There have been many theories as to why, but the important thing is he’s finally back, starring in this fall’s Chris Rock-directed “Misty Green.”

Zeller’s feature debut, “The Father,” was an acclaimed and Oscar-winning film. Many believe he struck out with his sophomore effort, 2022’s critically maligned “The Son.” This is another miss.

No surprise, “Practical Magic 2” is not doing well with critics. We all saw it coming. The first was also hammered with bad reviews. The only reason we’re getting a sequel is due to its cult base and ‘90s nostalgia.

A two-minute teaser has been released, and it looks intriguing and beautiful; Shyamalan is working with a new DP on this one, Adolpho Veloso—who shot the acclaimed “Train Dreams.”

Here’s the teaser for Luca Guadagnino’s “Artificial,” which Neon has officially dated for a December 25, 2026 release. I’ve also posted some first look images below.

According to Variety, Graham is confirmed to have joined the cast of “Heat 2,” joining the already-announced Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Adam Driver, Jason Clarke and Odessa Young.

Due to inflation, raw box-office dollars no longer tell us nearly as much about how many people actually saw a movie. ‘Brand New Day’ might soon be the all-time box office champ, but an asterix is needed.

The problem with “Musk” isn’t that it’s boring. It’s that it’s four hours long and, for much of that runtime, has surprisingly little new to say about Elon Musk.

So, whatever rumors you’d heard of Bond auditions still happening are not true. Steven Knight, the screenwriter of the next James Bond film, is saying that the new 007 has already been cast.

In the Academy’s 97-year history, no documentary has ever been nominated for the Best Picture Oscar? Fielder’s doc is being tipped as potentially making history — but is it even non-fiction?

Scott says it could be “the highest budget film” of his career” before accounting for tax incentives.” If Scott isn’t bullsh*tting here, and lord knows he might be, that would put the cost in the $200M+ range.

Brady Corbet's “The Origin of the World,” his X-Rated epic about "Northern California’s economy" in the 1970s epic, has now started production in South Africa under the working title “SALT FLATS.”

Hansen-Løve has a new film — a period piece set in England. “If Love Should Die” will focus on the 18th-century English philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft. This was announced three years ago, and it is finally happening.

Venice keeps trudging along. Twelve of the 21 films in competition have now been screened. Tomorrow, we’ll get to see Casey Affleck’s “Company,” Florian Zeller’s “Bunker,” and Ilya Khrzhanovsky’s “DAU.”

The project was gaining steam in 2023, and then the WGA strikes hit, which deflated the entire thing. At the time, Austin Butler and Colin Farrell were in talks to star as the film’s two leads.

Luca Guadagnino doesn’t make short movies. His latest, “Artificial,” is yet another example of the indulgence he tends to bring to all of his films.
