I'll be severely disappointed if that isn't just 90 minutes detailing Casey Affleck going into the ocean in a boat and shooting a fish in the head.

Kechiche's followup to Blue is the Warmest Color has become two films in the edit and he's been legally blocked from completing the edits by his funders

Three years and one Wright film later, it finally looks like Wright will be making the film, with New Regency backing itdomino harvey wrote:Edgar Wright to direct adaptation of YA book Grasshopper Jungle -- If you are not familiar with the source text, it is simultaneously the most insane book to try to describe and yet it's all surprisingly intuitive in its normative weirdness (for lack of a better term) if you actually read it. I can't imagine anyone better to capture the tone than Wright

I dunno, to me he looks like a guy wearing pounds of makeup. Not as bad as Anthony Hopkins in HITCHCOCK, but still not at all natural.

Paul Verhoeven toning things down a bit with a drama about the persecution of a lesbian nun in the 1600s.

Borg/McEnroe, never thought I'd use "Shia LeBeouf" and "perfect casting" in the same thought, but there you go.

James Mangold to direct a remake of Disorder. Maybe he'll make a version that isn't dull and inconsequential.

It's a matter of moments before they shut the door on the whole operation.

Variety reports on two new Todd Haynes projects: a Velvet Underground documentary, and an Amazon limited series that will "“re-examine a figure who maybe we forget how radical they were in their thinking because they were so incorporated into our culture and outlook as a modern society."
Haynes doesn't say who the subject of the Amazon series is, but when I saw him at a Q&A for I'm Not There back in 2008, someone asked him what his next film would be about and he said (in an admittedly somewhat joking tone, and I'm paraphrasing here), "Oh, I don't know, something easy like Freud."

West Side Story (Steven Spielberg, 2020)
In a 2004 article about Elmer Bernstein, published after Bernstein's passing, Todd Haynes mentioned a Freud project:
So a Freud project is definitely something Haynes has been wanting to do for many years, perhaps even going further back than when he and Elmer Bernstein talked about it. My guess is that this is what the Amazon project will be.Far From Heaven director Todd Haynes, in remarks filled with emotion, said that his film had been "graced beyond belief" by Bernstein's music. He said they had talked about collaborating on a film about Sigmund Freud.

What happened to all of Amazon's films after Wonder Wheel being self-distributed?
(The fact that they might actually not be so forthright and stingy about this new policy is a good thing, clearly, but I'm just surprised to see it change so quickly)

Re: New Films in Production, v.2
Greengrass lending his style to a Breivak-related film sounds pretty repulsive, but I guess it's one less movie I have to see. But then I liked Campos's pointless Christine Chabbuck film from last year, so we'll see!

Jim Jarmusch, Forest Whitaker, and RZA are working on a new 'Ghost Dog' project.
It's still in the formative stages but still.
