Something feels off with James Ponsoldt's "The Circle." Watch the trailer and tell me you're not disappointed that this is Ponsoldt's follow-up to his first two impressive films ("The Spectacular Now," and "The End of the Tour.") The story feels too facile and by-the-books for Ponsoldt. Principal photography wrapped-up in 2015. It was rumored to come out last year, but then reshoots happened this January. So "The Circle" is coming out only 4 months after the reshoots. Yikes.
The film is set for release April 28th, 2017. Don't expect the reviews to be kind. I'm already confident that this movie will be a disaster.
Lars Von Trier is working on the 15th—and likely final—film of his career, “After,” and according to his producer, Peter Aalbæk Jensen, the screenplay is supposed to be completed this month
