Eli Roth’s ‘Ice Cream Man’ Is Getting Brutal Reviews — Not A Single Positive One So Far

I’m seeing plenty of “worst of the year” mentions for “Ice Cream Man,” which doesn’t surprise me one bit. Roth has never been a critical darling and has only been more burdened by that with each passing film.

Amy Pascal Says “It’s a Good Bet” Next James Bond Will Be Announced in 2026

That said, Pascal is now telling Deadline that we will get to know who is playing the next 007 by year’s end, which makes my recent October prediction still valid — and, in my view, makes the most sense.

‘Fast Forever’ Director Doesn’t Know If He’s Directing ‘Fast Forever’

Asked whether he’d seen the same screenplay that made Vin Diesel sob for hours, director Louis Leterrier, the supposed director of “Fast Forever,” became noticeably evasive.

‘Digger’ Runtime 2 Hours 40 Minutes?

Ari Aster Says He Is Still Not Done Editing ‘Disappointment Blvd’

June 29, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

Yesterday I reported that Ari Aster’s “Disappointment Blvd” will be released in 2023. Now, in an interview with French media, he confirms the film just isn’t ready:

“It is not finished! I am a perfectionist, I take the entire manufacturing process very seriously. Despite time and money restrictions. It is also good to preserve the mystery. In reality, post-production isn't finished, I don't even have the final edit. I still have work to do on sound and visual effects. I doubt I'm done for the September festivals. But I can tell you that collaborating with Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best experiences of my life. I am very proud of his performance and I love him with all my heart.”

For those holding out hope for a New York Film Festival premiere, there is a slight chance, but I highly doubt it. Aster’s film seems to be a total beast of ambitions.
