Warner Bros is spending an apparent $140m on Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, according to a fresh report. More here.
For some time now, Warner Bros has been on an auteur recruitment drive, seeking to attract critically-admired filmmakers to its banner. The studio boss, David Zaslav, may be an arch-deleter of completed films and the architect behind the gutting of classic movie channel TCM, but he does seem to have a thing for working with visionary talent and seems willing to pay for it too.
In the past year, Warner Bros has green-lit films from ‘serious’ filmmakers and thrown some serious financial heft behind them too: Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride is said to be costing $100m whilst Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17 has been priced at $150m, an expensive price tag for a film releasing in the notoriously quiet month of January (although that wasn’t its original...

The Oceans duo are back on the big screen in the final Wolfs trailer – a buddy crime caper from Jon Watts.
2001 called, and they want their leading men back.
That’s right, it’s the Ocean’s Eleven reunion we’ve been waiting for. Brad Pitt and George Clooney are starring as rival ‘fixers’ in Jon Watts’ first feature post-Spider-Man: No Way Home, with a title apparently stolen from Harvey Keitel’s character in Pulp Fiction.
My head hurts. Here’s the final trailer for Wolfs…
And here’s the first trailer, from earlier this year…
True to the name’s Tarantino roots, Pitt and Clooney co-star as a pair of, er, specialist cleaner-folk, both hired to dispose of the same body at the same time. Cue hijinks, a few drugs and a gunfight or two – you know the drill.
The trailer drops at an auspicious time for the big-screen action-comedy genre.

Apple Original FIlms will send Jon Watts’ action-comedy Wolfs straight to streaming in France and skip a theatrical release as the territory’s windowing rules do not allow for just a week in cinemas before going onto a platform.
Films released in French cinemas must wait 17 months before heading to Apple TV+.

What do Robert Downey Jr., Idris Elba, Lily Gladstone and Maya Rudolph have in common?
These four stars are not only nominees at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards but are also the sole representatives of their respective series: Downey (supporting actor in a limited series for “The Sympathizer”), Elba (lead drama actor for “Hijack”), Gladstone (supporting actress in a limited series for “Under the Bridge”) and Rudolph (lead comedy actress for “Loot”). While each of these talented actors has a shot at winning, history shows that it’s rare for someone to take home an Emmy when their show has no other nominations.
Over the past four decades, only six actors have won an Emmy as the sole nominee from their show: Louie Anderson (supporting comedy actor for “Baskets” in 2016), Richard Kiley (lead drama actor for “A Year in the Life” in 1987), Regina King (lead actress limited for “Seven Seconds...

Sure, few shows have made as much noise as Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone. While the tales of the Dutton family’s struggle to defend their sprawling Montana ranch have arrested the hearts and minds of millions, the shadows cast by the narrative have not gone unnoticed.
Enter Lily Gladstone, a prominent Native American actor, whose voice rings out like a clarion call against the show’s representation of the American West and its indigenous characters. Can a show that has garnered multiple awards, acclaim, and spawned numerous spin-offs, truly understand and portray the depths of Native American struggles?
Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone | Paramount Network
In a 2023 interview, Gladstone, who has repeatedly auditioned for Yellowstone due to the scant roles available, described the Kevin Costner-led series as “Delusional! Deplorable!”. With the debate heating up, even Hollywood heavyweights like Helen Mirren have weighed in, offering a stark contrast in perspective to Gladstone’s scorching critique.

Some people think Leonardo DiCaprio became a star when he acted in James Cameron’s Titanic. Others believe his stardom predated that movie when he starred opposite Claire Danes in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet. However, the movie that made him an up-and-comer is a film that seems to have been all but erased from his filmography: the 1995 drama The Basketball Diaries, a movie that teamed him with a young Mark Wahlberg, earned good reviews and became a VHS cult hit among teens of the nineties. Yet, it’s a tough film to find unless you’re willing to shell out big bucks for the long, out-of-print Blu-ray (never released in the U.S) or an old-school DVD. You won’t find it on streaming, and it remains an oddly obscure film considering how popular it was in the nineties. What gives?

On a rainy Nov. 15, 2023, a small group of music and film luminaries gathered at the Village Recorder, the famed studio housed in an old Masonic temple in West L.A. where everything from Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk to Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle was recorded.
Among them were Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Lily Gladstone, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne. They had come to celebrate the life of Robbie Robertson, legendary frontman of The Band, successful solo artist and prolific film score producer for whom the studio was like a second home. Robertson had died three months earlier after an excruciating battle with prostate cancer — long in remission but back with a vengeance in 2022 — that had spread to his spine and brain. He was 80.
Scorsese emceed the memorial, in which he tearfully spoke of his brotherhood with Robertson. The director, 81, was a longtime collaborator of Robertson’s, having helmed the seminal 1978 rockumentary The Last Waltz,...

Following the shift of Wolfs to a limited theatrical release, Apple is rumoured to be backing away from big cinema releases for its films.
Here’s a sad story, should it prove to be true. Reporter Jeff Sneider is claiming that following the release of Apple’s hugely expensive F1 next year, the company is doing the studio equivalent of taking its ball and going home.
Over the last couple of years, Apple has been experimenting with wide theatrical releases for its films. It means that moviegoers have gotten the opportunity to see films like Napoleon, Killers Of The Flower Moon and Argylle on huge screens, while Apple TV+ subscribers have then been able to view them at home.
However, if Sneider’s claim is accurate then that experiment could be over and you likely won’t like the results. Apparently, Apple has decided to cease with wide theatrical releases,...

Wie Spot erfuhr, wird Sony „Wolfs“ mit Brad Pitt und George Clooney nicht auf die deutschen Leinwände bringen. Die Meldung machte die Runde, kurz nachdem Apple die Auswertungsstrategie für den Titel geändert und das Fenster massiv verkürzt hatte.

Producer Stacey Sher says The Devil In The White City, the Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio project thought to be in development hell, is still happening.
It’s well over a decade since Leonardo DiCaprio picked up the film rights for author Erik Larsson’s non-fiction book, The Devil In The White City, but an adaptation of it is still alive and well. That’s according to producer Stacey Sher, who says that both DiCaprio and filmmaker Martin Scorsese are still involved in the project in some capacity.
First published in 2003, The Devil In The White City is part history, part crime thriller, taking in the creation of the Chicago World’s Fair and the exploits of murderer Hh Holmes, who killed a number of people in Chicago as the expo took place in the 1890s. Its sprawling period detail would be expensive to realise in a film or TV production,...

Director Jon Watts has also been signed up for Wolfs 2, focusing on two rival fixers, with the first set to release next month.
Last month we heard that Apple was planning to cut back on some of its spending excesses, perhaps meaning that the days of its $200m splurges on films like Napoleon or Killers Of The Flower Moon might now be a thing of the past. The company is said to be keen to curb its reputation as ‘the biggest spender in town’ and wants to start getting better value for money from projects.
What that looks like, we don’t yet know but perhaps today’s news gives us an inkling.

Amazon wants to continue building its top streaming service to be a leader in the industry, and changes like the introduction of ads to Prime Video in January were just the beginning.
Key Details: More sports rights and bigger-name celebrities are a key part of Prime Video’s strategy to continue its growth. Amazon plans to spend more to boost its theatrical movie output. Viewers should expect a content strategy seeking more titles with broad, global appeal. 30-Day Free Trial $8.99+ / month amazon.com

According to Searchlight’s press release, Kinds of Kindness is a triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life, a policeman who is alarmed that his wife, who was missing at sea, has returned and seems a different person, and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
Kinds of Kindness fans hoping to get more out of Lanthimos’s film’s home release can look forward to bonus features that take audiences behind the scenes.

There is no doubt that Lily Gladstone has had quite a year. From her Oscar nomination earlier this year to her stint with the Emmys, the actress has managed to build up a rare and interesting resume, one that even Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence have not been able to secure with their long and storied career.
Lily Gladstone in Killers of the Flower Moon / Paramount Pictures
While there are multiple actors who have secured an Emmy and Oscar nomination, it is rare that actors receive these two honors in the same year, which is the case for Lily Gladstone. She was the first Native American actress to be nominated for an Academy Award in the history of the Academy. Along with fellow Emmy nominee Kali Reiss, the actress was also one of the first Indigenous women to receive the honor.

Update: David Lynch has shared an update below.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco – the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them – but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire.
I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern.
Love,
David

Apple TV+ is releasing what looks to be a chilling new series, just in time for Halloween. According to the streamer, Before is an “an atmospheric, character-driven psychological thriller” about a child psychiatrist and widower who encounters a small boy with a “haunting connection” to his past. Naturally, the lead role is played by the “you look mah-velous” guy.
Yup, Billy Crystal is the star of this dramatic, seemingly creepy show that, judging from the description, seems not so dissimilar from The Sixth Sense, another story of a child psychologist who befriends a child with whom he shares a mysterious connection. But imagine the Bruce Willis part played by someone who seems like he might break into a medley of humorous show tunes at any moment.
Before also stars the great Judith Light, and one of the executive producers is Oscar-winning screenwriter Eric Roth, who recently penned the script for...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Billy Crystal is one of the funniest men in Hollywood. From When Harry Met Sally to Monsters, Inc., The Princess Bride to the actual Academy Awards, the man's got the comedic Midas Touch. But the City Slickers star is set to flex his dramatic chops as a grieving psychiatrist in Sarah Thorp's (The Bounty Hunter) limited Apple TV+ supernatural mystery series Before, which has just revealed a set of first look images ahead of its two-episode premiere on 25 October. Check them out below:

I was just thinking the other day (while watching When Harry Met Sally…) that we don’t see Billy Crystal in movies or TV shows nearly enough these days, so it’s great to see that Apple TV+ has just unveiled a batch of first look images from their upcoming psychological thriller series Before, which stars and is executive produced by the legendary “multi-award winning actor, comedian, and filmmaker” Billy Crystal! The images can be viewed in this article.
Described as “an atmospheric, character-driven psychological thriller” and a “supernatural mystery series,” Before sees Crystal taking on the role of Eli, a child psychiatrist who, after recently losing his wife, Lynn, encounters a troubled young boy, Noah, who seems to have a haunting connection to Eli’s past. As Eli attempts to help Noah, their mysterious bond deepens.

Some of the most illustrious names in rock — and other genres — will pay tribute to Robbie Robertson in a celebratory concert at the L.A.-area Kia Forum on Oct. 17, with the musician’s longtime friend and collaborator Martin Scorsese among the executive producers.
The lineup for “Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson” includes some contemporaries who came up with the Band’s late songwriter-guitarist in the ’60s. These include Bobby Weir, Taj Mahal and three artists who appeared with Robertson in the Scorsese-directed 1986 concert documentary “The Last Waltz”: Eric Clapton, Van Morrison and Mavis Staples.
It also includes some musical figures whose stars have risen in the last 15 years or so, like Eric Church, Allison Russell, Nathaniel Rateliff, Margo Price and — a current mainstay of the Billboard album chart’s top 10 — Noah Kahan.

The Harry Potter film series, starring Daniel Radcliffe, has a massive fan following among modern pop culture enthusiasts. All the eight movies in the franchise, based on the works of J.K. Rowling, went massive at the box office. Interestingly, despite such a success, the films could never do anything significant at the Academy Awards.

For years, the Academy has been unpopular for some of its controversial decisions. Both fans and stars frequently complain about how some deserving films never get their chance to shine. Daniel Radcliffe felt that the Oscars snubbed his eighth Harry Potter film as it fell short of nominations before Martin Scorsese’s Hugo.

Brady Corbet, the director of “The Brutalist,” is still trying to figure out the best way to deliver the print for his film to the Venice Film Festival, where it will debut next month. That’s because the epic 215-minute story of a Holocaust survivor forging a new life in America will be shown in 70mm, which means that all 26 reels of film will need to travel in four Pelican cases from Los Angeles to Italy, weighing in at approximately 300 pounds.
“We may have to buy a couple of plane tickets,” he said, shortly after Venice unveiled its lineup. “We have to figure out the best way to get it through customs in order to hand deliver it in time.”
But Corbet has been resisting the digital tide for years, having shot his two previous films, “Vox Lux” and “The Childhood of a Leader,” on celluloid. That’s become something...

The Streaming Wars are over and there is a clear winner — surprise, surprise, it's Netflix. Joining the pile of companies reconsidering this whole streaming thing is Apple TV+, which is now vowing to stop throwing so much money at shows no one watches. Apple TV+ is watched and used about as much as U2's "Songs of Innocence" was listened to when it got released on iTunes for free, with Bloomberg reporting that Apple TV+ "generates less viewing in one month than Netflix does in one day."
When every studio and company began launching its own streaming service, there was an outcry over the return of cable but worse, which is something no one liked and is the reason so many of us flooded to Netflix in the first place. However, the overabundance of streamers also came with the opportunity for variety and specialization. Just as Hulu had long been...

In den vergangenen Jahren hat Apple Milliarden in die Produktion von Kino- und TV-Filmen gesteckt. Mit Ausnahme von Filmen wie Martin Scorseses „Killers of the Flower Moon” mit überschaubarem Erfolg. Nun soll die Hollywood-Strategie des Streamers laut einem Bericht des Wirtschaftsnachrichtendiensts „Bloomberg“ auf dem Prüfstand stehen.

Die Apple-Studiochefs Zack Van Amburg und Jamie Erlicht wollen künftig bei den Ausgaben für Kino- und TV-Produktionen mehr auf die Kosten schauen. Das berichtet der Wirtschaftsnachrichtendienst „Bloomberg“ unter Berufung auf Gespräche mit ehemaligen und aktuellen Apple-Mitarbeitern sowie -Geschäftspartnern. Den Anstoß dazu habe dem Bericht zufolge Eddy Cue, Senior Vice President Services bei Apple, gegeben, der sich regelmäßig mit den beiden Studiochefs zu Budgetbesprechungen trifft.
Bisher hat Apple jährlich Milliarden Dollar für seine Originals ausgegeben – mit überschaubarem Erfolg. So schaffte es einzig Martin Scorseses „Killers of the Flower Moon“ in das Nielsen-Ranking der populärsten Streamingtitel.

Apple’s days of spending $200m on a single film might be coming to an end, with the firm set to cut its TV and film spend.
The era of the Silicon Valley spending spree could be officially over, according to a new report that suggests that Apple is looking to be far more judicious with its budgets from now on.
One hallmark of the rise of the Silicon Valley streamers over the past decade has been their willingness to shell out incredible amounts of cash for projects that had quite simply proven too expensive for traditional Hollywood studios.
Whether it was Netflix paying $469m for two Knives Out sequels or Apple forking out huge amounts for auteur projects like Killers Of The Flower Moon, the streaming platforms changed the economy of filmmaking.

Apple is trying to sever itself from overpaying for its Apple TV+ series and films.
Apple, the world’s richest (and only $3 trillion) company, is now practicing frugality as it pertains to entertainment content, Bloomberg reported. If only they’d do the same for the price of our iPhones.
For Apple, cost-cutting, the latest push toward profitability in streaming, is a Pro Display Xdr-sized about-face. To launch Apple TV+ the company courted huge talent, and did so with a seemingly unlimited budget.
Apple TV+ debuted on November 1, 2019 with “The Morning Show” starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell, “See” with Jason Momoa, and a deal with Oprah Winfrey to turn her book club into a streaming series. It would soon court the likes of Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, and Brad Pitt, to name a few. And, at a certain point at least, the “Ted Lasso” cast couldn’t have come cheap.

Nacho Vigalondo’s Daniela Forever, starring Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding, will open the Toronto Film Festival’s Platform competition program with a world premiere.
The Madrid-set sci-fi romancer has Golding playing Nicolas, a man grieving after the sudden death of his girlfriend (Beatrice Grannò) six months earlier and taking part in a clinical trial for a drug that reunites him with his former lover via lucid dreams, only to leave him obsessed with a fantasy world. XYZ financed the indie from the Spanish filmmaker Vigalondo, who is best known for movies like Timecrimes and Colossal, starring Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis.
Toronto unveiled in all 10 features with world premieres for the festival section where international films outside of the Hollywood studio orbit compete.

Chugga-Chugga, Chugga-Chugga, Choo-choo! "What's that noise?" we hear you cry. Why, it's the sound of the Brenaissance hype train continuing to gather speed, of course. Yes folks, after learning just last week that Andrew Scott is set to lead Anthony Maras' (Hotel Mumbai) upcoming WWII movie Pressure, Deadline has now confirmed that resurgent The Whale star Brendan Fraser has also joined the line-up for the true-story based D-Day thriller.
Fraser is set to play Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower in Maras' film, which is set to see in-demand All Of Us Strangers and Ripley star Scott play unsung war hero Group Captain James Stagg. As the meteorologist who persuaded Eisenhower to change the date of the Normandy Landings, Stagg's elemental acuity under immense pressure also changed the course of the war for the Allied Forces.

Academy Award® winner Brendan Fraser has been cast in ‘Pressure,’ joining the recently announced Andrew Scott in the role of Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg.
Fraser takes on the role of Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In the seventy-two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element – the British weather. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on.
With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser).

The Brenaissance continues.
Brendan Fraser, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in Darren Aronofsky’s 2022 film “The Whale,” has landed his next hefty role. Deadline reports that Fraser has been cast to play Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in director Anthony Maras’ upcoming D-Day film “Pressure.”
“Pressure” is a tense historical drama that tells the story of meteorologist James Stagg, played by “Ripley” star Andrew Scott, who is tasked with monitoring weather conditions ahead of the Normandy landing. The decision that Eisenhower makes based on the information Stagg gives him could be the difference between life and death for an unimaginable number of people. So the title has a double meaning.
Here’s the official synopsis from studios Working Title and Studiocanal: “In the 72 hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element — the British weather. Britain’s Chief...

Brendan Fraser has officially joined the cast of Pressure, an upcoming film that chronicles the days immediately preceding D-Day. As reported by Deadline, Fraser will play Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Pressure is set to star Andrew Scott as Britain’s Chief Meteorological Officer James Stagg, who worked with Eisenhower to chart out the weather conditions for the storming of Normandy. Anthony Mars will direct the historical drama, and shooting is scheduled to begin in September.
The film is based on David Haig’s play of the same name. Haig and Maras penned the screenplay, which reportedly aims to capture the intense drama of the theatrical production while expanding the scope to portray the actual landings of the invasion.

Despite critical and awards success, Apple TV+ has yet to reach significant subscriber growth.
When it comes to critical and awards metrics, Apple TV+ has been an unqualified success since launching in 2019. However, when it comes to viewership and subscriptions, the jury is still decidedly out. Since its debut, Apple’s subscription streaming service has rallied around the motto of “quality over quantity,” and last week's Emmy nominations were a testament to that effort, as Apple TV+ took home 72 nominations, including ones in every major category. However, the streamer has spent heavily on those titles and has yet to see significant increases in subscriber totals. Therefore, the tech company’s executives are reportedly looking to shed its reputation as the biggest spender in streaming and rein in the costs of its pricey projects.

Exclusive: Oscar winner Brendan Fraser (The Whale) has been set to play Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower in Working Title and Studiocanal’s upcoming D-Day movie Pressure.
Fraser joins BAFTA winner Andrew Scott, who as we revealed Friday will star in the ticking-clock drama about the tense days leading up to the Normandy landings.
The true story will see All of Us Strangers and Ripley star Scott play Britain’s Chief Meteorological Officer James Stagg, whose job it was to inform Eisenhower of weather conditions that would make or break their Normandy invasion. The complex decision-making was critical in the fate of the war and the course of history.
Army General Eisenhower, nicknamed Ike, was lauded for his leadership during the war and would go on to become the 34th U.S. President, serving from 1953-61.
Anthony Maras (Hotel Mumbai) will direct Pressire, which is due to start shooting in the UK in September.

Martin Scorsese will reunite with Andrew Garfield for his next feature, The Life Of Jesus: more on the new project here.
Martin Scorsese had promised to get back out making movies quickly once he was done with his promotional and awards work on Killers Of The Flower Moon, and he’s set to be keeping his word. As had been strongly suggested, he’s going to be making a film about Jesus Christ next, that appears to be going by the title The Life Of Jesus.
The film will reteam Martin Scorsese with Andrew Garfield, with whom he made the movie Silence. The plan, as previously discussed, is for this to be a much slimmer film in terms of runtime that Scorsese’s last couple of outings. A running time of less than 90 minutes has been talked about.

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is now available on VOD. There’s no way around it – the film’s theatrical release was a huge disappointment, as it earned back only a fraction of its reported budget and has put the release of the second film in major jeopardy. However, now that it’s streaming, the hope is that people will be able to discover it at home, perhaps paving the way for this saga to continue. If you’ve watched Horizon and are jonesing for more modern westerns to check out, here are some we really like here at JoBlo.
Tombstone (1993):
This is perhaps an ironic one to put on a list that pays tribute to Costner’s Horizon, as the star’s own big-budget western epic, Wyatt Earp, was badly overshadowed by this competing story about the same historical events. The fact is, George Pan Cosmatos and Kurt Russell...

Despite having Emmy-nominated shows like “The Morning Show,” “Ted Lasso,” and recent standout “Presumed Innocent,” and even some Oscars love for “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Coda,” Apple TV+ still lags when it comes to getting viewers to stick around.
Nielsen’s recent The Gauge report, which tracks American viewership over multiple formats, had Apple TV+ with a share of less than 1 percent of all TV viewership, behind even platforms like Pluto TV, Tubi, Peacock, and Paramount+. So far, Apple’s strategy has been to almost exclusively build its own library. It didn’t go out and buy a studio like Amazon did with MGM, and it doesn’t generate new hits from other studios’ old shows and movies the way Netflix does. They’ve held firm on their strategy since launching in 2019.
All that may be changing. Bloomberg is reporting Apple is in talks with major Hollywood studios...
