We should take Terrence Malick’s latest film seriously. There are whispers here and there that the Cannes committee was absolutely floored by “A Hidden Life.” This could spell a return to form for Malick. The filmmaker mentioned late last year that he was actually using a script while shooting “A Hidden Life,” — something that he hasn't done since, probably, "The Tree of Life."
Back in May, a Warner Bros. source told me ‘Chapter 2’ wasn't coming out in 2026. It was “not in the plans.” The film has been finished for two years.
