Disney Circling Martin Scorsese’s Hawaii-Set Crime Thriller Starring DiCaprio, Johnson, & Blunt

You’d be hard pressed to find a more exciting film project than Martin Scorsese‘s Hawaii-set crime caper with this cast—DiCaprio, Johnson, and Blunt—so why wouldn’t Disney come scoop it up?

Deadline reports that the studio is nearing a deal for the project, which is being described as a kind of Goodfellas on the Hawaiian islands, with Robert De Niro’s Jimmy the Gent character instead a Hawaiian crime boss,

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Revolution has Begun in “One Battle After Another” Trailer

A week after Warner Bros. released the first teaser for Paul Thomas Anderson’s mysterious new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another, we now have the full and fully unhinged trailer. Leave it to Anderson to follow Licorice Pizza, his lovely look back at the San Fernando Valley of the 1970s, where he grew up, with a tonal and subject curveball like this one.

“Avengers: Doomsday” Five-Hour Plus Cast Reveal Unleashes Retro X-Men, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts & Memes

While there have been countless stories on how audiences are suffering from a moderate to severe case of superhero fatigue, on Wednesday, March 26th, 2025, many, many, many people kept a tab open on their screens for five and a half hours to watch a live stream of chairs. This was how Marvel rolled out (eeked out, really) the cast reveal for the Russo Brothers’ upcoming Avengers: Doomsday,

Marvel Announces Massive “Avengers: Doomsday” Cast to Tangle With Robert Downey Jr.’s Dr. Doom

Who’s going to battle Robert Downey Jr.’s Dr. Doom in Avengers: Doomsday? We now have the names of the heroes, antiheroes, and, well, Bob, who will be taking on the iconic villain.

Barry Jenkins to Direct Zendaya in Ronnie Spector Biopic “Be My Baby” for A24

There are dream pairings and dream pairings, and this case more than deserves the italicized emphasis.

Auteur Barry Jenkins will direct Zendaya in a film for A24 about the life of the legendary singer Ronnie Spector. Jenkins and Zendaya’s film, Be My Baby, will be based on an original script by Dave Kajganic, Deadline reports.

Zendaya is, of course,

Amazon MGM’s Next James Bond Movie to be Produced by Veteran Hit-Makers Amy Pascal & David Heyman

Amazon MGM has tapped two veteran producers—Amy Pascal and David Heyman — to steer the next Bond film. The Pascal and Heyman announcement follows Amazon MGM’s industry-shaking move when the studio closed its own deal with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson to take over the franchise. Broccoli and Wilson’s family has been shepherding the super spy on the big screen since the 1960s.

The dynamic producing duo will use their namesake companies,

New “Drop” Trailer: Every Notification is a Nightmare for Meghann Fahy

A new trailer for director Christopher Landon’s Drop has, well, dropped, revealing a new look at Meghann Fahy as Violet, a widowed mother who ventures out on her first date in years and finds herself in the middle of a lunatic scenario that would make a lifelong single person out of anyone.

Landon’s film had its world premiere at SXSW this month, delivering plenty of thrills to a packed house in what Variety‘s Siddhant Adlakha calls a “pulpy mystery entirely sure of its own conceit”

Christopher Nolan’s Epic Adaptation of “The Odyssey” Still Feels Like an Indie Film to This Cast Member

Universal revealed the first look at Matt Damon playing the long-suffering hero Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of Homer’s epic back in mid-February. The Twitter post showed Damon in a side-angle shot as the Ithacan hero wearing the helmet and military armor of the warrior he was when he plotted and fought victoriously in the Trojan War, before his decade-long, much waylaid journey back home to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus on the Greek island of Ithaca.

Producer Hsinyi Liu on Forging a Path From Taiwan to “Fleabag” & “The Ballad of Wallis Island”

Moving halfway around the world to live and work in a different culture and language presents inevitable challenges, but there is also a wealth of opportunities available to those who leave the familiar behind and immerse themselves abroad. This was the case for Taiwan-born and raised producer Hsinyi Liu, who learned the joys available to those willing to make the leap when she relocated to London more than two decades ago.

In an attempt at a compromise between her family’s expectations of a financially stable career and her own creative impulses,

Reel Returns: Connecticut’s Film Investment Fuels Economic Growth in a Competitive State of Play

The evening before my conversation with Jonathan Black, a co-founder of the Connecticut Film and TV Alliance (CTFTVA), he was attending a hearing in Hartford. The Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee was listening to public testimony on Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont’s proposed film tax credit cut from 30% to 25%, a move that could strike a devastating blow to the state’s film and television community.

Black, a Georgia native, has roots in Hollywood,

Battle Tested: Leonardo DiCaprio Fronts First Look at Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another”

One day after Warner Bros. announced the official title for Paul Thomas Anderson’s mysterious new movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another, the studio dropped the first teaser.

While you won’t glean much from this brief 21-second blast, you will at least get a sense of the mood of Anderson’s latest. It couldn’t be further from his last film, Licorice Pizza, his dreamy look back at the San Fernando Valley of the 1970s (where and when Anderson grew up),

Unveiled: Paul Thomas Anderson’s Enigmatic Leonardo DiCaprio Film Lands Official Title & Date

We finally have some clarity—a keyhole’s worth—about Paul Thomas Anderson’s mysterious new film starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

Warner Bros. announced on Wednesday that Anderson’s film has gotten a slight bump in its release schedule from August 8 to September 26. This moves the film from the summer blockbuster season into the typical awards contender release window. This would make sense for an Anderson film, given how singular and lauded the auteur’s work is, from his most recent release,

Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves’ John Wick Spar in Lethal New “Ballerina” Trailer

Eva Macarro, meet John Wick.

Ana de Armas has entered the John Wick universe, so it’s fitting her character, Eva Macarro, faces off against the man himself. At the 1:45 mark in this new trailer, Eva and John have a snowy encounter in which neither are backing down. The reason Wick is alive here despite having met his fate in John Wick: Chapter 4 is because Ballerina is set during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.

Colin Farrell in Talks to Enlist in “Sgt. Rock,” Luca Guadagnino’s DC Studios Film

Colin Farrell is no stranger to DC Studios—he has delivered hours and hours of scene-stealing work as Oz Cobb, first in Matt Reeves’ The Batman and then in Max’s critically acclaimed spinoff series The Penguin. His performance as Gotham’s most cunning criminal in The Penguin delivered Farrell a SAG Award, Golden Globe, Critics Choice Award, and Saturn Award. Now, he’s circling a different kind of project for DC as he’s in talks to star in Luca Guadagnino’s Sgt.

“Mickey 17” Production Designer Fiona Crombie Creates a Playful Pattinson-Verse for Bong Joon Ho’s Black Comedy Space Epic

The underdog hero of Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 is sweetly naive everyman Mickey (Robert Pattinson), a failed macaron shop owner on the run from a bloodthirsty creditor in the year 2054. Mickey finds a way out of his predicament, but it’s bleak—he signs up as an Expendable, a human test subject for a space mission whose sole purpose is to die in not one but many gruesome experiments, having turned over the rights to his DNA to be infinitely reprinted for any and all of the mission’s needs.

“Snow White” Early Reactions: One of the Best Live-Action Remakes to Date

The first reactions to Disney’s Snow White are here, and the scuttlebutt is that director Marc Webb and his stars Rachel Zegler (Snow White) and Gal Gadot (the Evil Queen) have delivered one of the best live-action remakes to date. This is quite the turnaround after a few shaky weeks leading to the film’s premiere, with the online chatter surrounding Snow White having to do with everything but the film itself. 

SXSW 2025: Tapping Into Texas’s Vast Potential to Become the Next Cinematic Frontier

This year’s SXSW film festival in Austin blew into town with a considerable tailwind of enthusiasm for the Lone Star state’s film and TV future. Every state in the union can claim unique cultures, geographies, and mythologies, but there’s no disputing that Texas looms very large in our collective cultural imagination. It’s a state that takes very seriously the notion that it’s really a country.

Texas’s hold on our imagination is evident in how many great films and TV series are set there (whether they’re actually filmed there or not—we’ll get to that in a second),

From the Upside Down to the MCU: “Stranger Things” Star Sadie Sink Joining Tom Holland in “Spider-Man 4”

It’s official—Spider-Man 4 is in full swing.

In a big bit of casting news, Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is joining Tom Holland in the fourth installment of Holland’s run as Peter Parker. Deadline reports that while Sink’s role is not yet known to the public, they’ve gone ahead and posited an intriguing possibility—that she will play legendary X-Men mutant Jean Grey.

Following “Ballerina,” a Fifth “John Wick” Movie Has Been Confirmed

John Wick will never die.

And by “John Wick,” we might not necessarily be referring to the man himself, as played by Keanu Reeves in the first four films. By all accounts, Reeves’ nearly indestructible assassin died a noble death at the end of the last installment, John Wick: Chapter 4. We knew we’d be given another glimpse at the man in the upcoming spinoff, Ballerina, which stars Ana de Armas as Eva Macarro as she begins training as an assassin in the traditions of the Ruska Roma.
