Bad news, Stephen. Your archnemesis has struck again. Ellison has hit pause on Colbert's LOTR movie. The film was originally rumored to begin shooting shortly after ‘The Hunt for Gollum.’

“A Statement” stars Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, John Turturro, Jason Clarke, Dylan Baker, and Tatiana Maslany. The film marks the return of Tom McCarthy, a filmmaker we haven’t heard from in a while.

The sequel to 2020's "Scoob!" was fully completed before Warner Bros. shelved it in 2022 so the studio could claim a tax write-down and recoup part of its production costs.

‘Secret Wars’ was supposed to shoot in September, that didn’t happen. It’s now delayed production to January, which does not bode well for that December 2027 release date.

Ben Shapiro is at it again in his quest to conquer cinema. The Daily Wire's next film has started production in Montana, and if the goal was to grab headlines, mission accomplished.

"Avengers: Endgame" has reclaimed the title of highest-grossing movie of all time, reaching $2.925 billion worldwide after its "Encore" re-release. That puts it just ahead of James Cameron's "Avatar.”

When one amigo gets hit, the other two show up. That's been the deal for three decades between Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón, and it's playing out in real time this weekend

The wheels are already turning to lock in a sequel to Greta Gerwig's 2023 blockbuster, and it sounds like an inevitability: "There's no way “Barbie 2” doesn't happen."

"Behemoth!" is Tony Gilroy's first film in 14 years, and it comes nearly two decades after his debut, "Michael Clayton." It also arrives four years after the critical and commercial triumph of his Disney+ series "Andor."

Welcome to the “Digger” megathread, where you can post your review of the movie in the comments below. I’ll try to keep this post up over the weekend as our readers catch up with Iñárritu’s $180M oddity.

Bayona hasn't directed a feature since “Society of the Snow,” his 2023 Oscar nominee. His résumé also includes “The Orphanage,” “The Impossible,” and “A Monster Calls.”

Guadagnino goes through his ever-growing list of potential projects. When "American Psycho" comes up, his response is noncommittal: "Maybe one day I [will] do it."

Back in June, there was a bidding war for playwright-writer Sophie Fleur de Bruijn's "One Month Mark," a rom-com based on her own script. Apple Original Films ultimately landed the project

Blowing up the DCU yet again, barely a year after "Superman" relaunched it, would be madness. I bet Ellison is waiting to see how well Gunn’s ‘Superman’ sequel does next summer.

The third instalment, often referred to as “Sicario: Capos,” has been in the works since 2018. Two years ago, producers confirmed that a script had been partially written, and the idea was “awesome.”

So far, the consensus seems to be that it's rather mid. Comparisons to David Fincher's "The Social Network" show up in almost every reaction.

“Tesseract” was supposed to shoot in London and Hungary over the summer, but those plans clearly fell through. Powell was not happy with the script.

The decision has reportedly been made, though David Ellison apparently hasn't delivered the news to them directly yet. Those calls are expected by Tuesday morning.

After this weekend, when “Artificial” and “Behemoth!” screen at NYFF, there won’t be many Oscar contenders left unseen. In fact, by my count, there are just two: ‘Cliff Booth,’ and “Dune: Part Three.”

Joseph Kosinski's "Miami Vice '85" has added Goggins to a cast that includes Michael B. Jordan, Austin Butler, John Leguizamo, Alden Ehrenreich, Whitney Peak, Camila Morrone, Andrew Schulz, and Danny Ramirez.

USA Network has added a trigger warning before Brett Ratner's "Rush Hour.” The warning cautions viewers that some of the film's depictions, language and humor may come across as outdated or offensive.

Paramount dropped a second trailer for Ti West's "Ebenezer,” and the marketing hints: "The name you know, the story you don't." Yet this looks as straightforward an adaptation as you could imagine.

Many have been wondering exactly how much of Mike Flanagan's original script made it into the final cut of "Clayface," especially after it was reported that a new writer had been hired for a total overhaul.

The cameras roll October 5 in Madrid. The deal? Millions in public funding, on the condition that the city gets its close-up. The total budget is around $14M, and principal photography will last six weeks.

Nicolas Cage will star in another "Longlegs" movie, to be directed, yet again, by Osgood Perkins. Notably, Neon, the original distributor of "Longlegs," are out, and Paramount Pictures is the new home.

Davidson won't be among the attendees when the awards are given out. Instead, he will watch the ceremony by video link from a separate "relaxed space" inside the venue, with family and friends.

The film will star Hugh Jackman, while Hugh Grant and Owen Cooper are circling roles. Jack Thorne, who is red-hot, thanks to his acclaimed Netflix series’ "Adolescence” and “Lord of the Flies,” wrote the script.

Hoover is a hot literary name, and that means "Verity" is currently projected to open to around $24M this weekend, which would be a solid result for a mid-budget adult thriller.

Paramount is now aiming to close the deal on Tuesday, October 6. That's when, after months of drama, twists and turns, the merger will become official.

The title was ultimately changed because it was "too long" and "too complicated," though I suspect Warner Bros. was just horrified by the thought of selling a $180M movie with a title that sounds like an eye-roll.

Zack Snyder, whose 'The Last Photograph' still has no US distribution, doesn't sound so confident about 'Rebel Moon 3' ever happening, or that there's truly any demand for it.

The "Digger" fiasco caps a disastrous 2026 for Warner Bros., which watched "Coyote vs. Acme," the film it tried to bury (now at Ketchup), out-gross nearly all of its releases this year

I have no idea if I'll ever get to see "Heil Jupiter!" in a theater, and whether a U.S. distributor will take on nearly three hours of unsimulated sex, colonoscopy footage and an invented language is up for debate.

Clearly, by screening this four months before release, Shyamalan and Warner Bros. are feeling bullish about the potential of "Remain," and the reactions from last night are indeed very positive.

The timing of this latest update comes after this year’s “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” earned strong reviews but faltered at the box office.

Zach Cregger’s next film, “The Flood,” has found its lead actress, and it’s none other than Jennifer Lawrence. Steven Spielberg is producing. Warner Bros. has it dated for August 11, 2028

David Fincher has decided not to renew his deal at Netflix, a turning point in his long relationship with the streamer. His current deal expires next year.

Curry Barker is moving fast. Focus Features has dated the filmmaker's next project, the horror-comedy "Anything But Ghosts," for May 7, 2027.

A Tarantino script about a stuntman-turned-fixer navigating blackmail and extortion in late-'70s L.A. It honestly sounds like a noir written by Shane Black.

With reviews for "Digger" coming in poorly, Warner Bros. has gone nuclear with its marketing, inviting audiences to ignore the verdicts and "decide for yourself."

Sylvester Stallone has confirmed he's in talks with Amazon to recut "Rocky V," the 1990 entry that even the most hardcore Rocky fans tend to pretend doesn't exist. Speaking to SiriusXM, Sly didn't bury the lede.

In case you hadn't heard, a "Game of Thrones" movie has been greenlit, with "House of Cards" creator and "Andor" writer Beau Willimon penning the screenplay and Warner Bros. producing.

In case you're wondering what Ari Aster might be cooking up with "Scapegoat," um, well, more hints have come our way, and this seems to be very much in the same spiritual realm as "Eddington."

Jenkins admits he had to go to therapy to work through the night Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway handed Best Picture to "La La Land" before the Academy realized the wrong envelope had been read.

First, the bad news, and sadly there's plenty of it for Alejandro G. Iñárritu's "Digger." The film is getting blasted by critics, sitting at 44 on Metacritic and 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. Its Oscar odds have all but collapsed.

The “Miami Vice '85” cast keeps growing. Andrew Schulz has boarded Joseph Kosinski's big-screen reboot for Universal, per Deadline, joining leads Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler.

The project, shot intermittently, began production in 2019, allowing the actors to age naturally in real time. This same approach earned Linklater acclaim for “Boyhood” in 2014.

This was always going to be a message movie first. The question is whether that's enough to carry it through awards season. ‘Chicago 7’ managed six Oscar nominations with a similar formula.

It took the Audience Award at San Sebastián this weekend, won the People's Choice Award at TIFF just a week ago, topped the Telluride poll a week before that, and of course, won the Cannes best director prize.

Moments have been “refined,” scenes have been reordered, and most intriguingly, there's a heavily reworked final act built from unseen footage to reflect "Mann's preferred ending."
