Hopefully he's still able to expel the linguistic wit that's apparently been absent from his recent written work.. I'll remain cautiously optimistic

As someone who has actually read his recent work, I have zero hopes, sadly. He did seem lucid in the Indicator interview though, so that’s something

Oh I'm sure all his most recent plays have been garbage (his books sure are), I just hope that being entrusted with a larger-scale production (hopefully not exclusively sold on his name alone) means that he has to rein in his dumber impulses

I did like his most recent film work, that HBO one, and if my mental timeline serves that was post decline.

All his actual movies have been good, or at least competent (I know there are mixed feelings on Oleanna's casting, but I wouldn't call it a bad movie) so I don't think that's where the fear comes from. People have been vocal about his written and stage work post-Phil Spector taking a plummet, and that film has its supporters here from those who have the most active experience marking his decline while consuming his work, like domino. The films he did prior to that were some of his best work ever, so there's still hope... that Never Cursed will dutifully clutch onto for the rest of us

Andrew Haigh's next film, Strangers, will star Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Claire Foy, and Jamie Bell. It's an adaptation of a 1987 Taichi Yamada novel, which has already been made once into a movie (directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi!).

Where are you seeing that it will be dark? It sounds like he wants it to be a sincere Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood-type of film

Apple must be really happy with Killers of the Flower Moon, because they want to get the band back together ASAP with Scorsese and DiCaprio adapting The Wager, the latest book by Flower Moon author David Grann

Back in 2020 Tian Zhuangzhuang wrapped Cry of the Birds, his first film as a director in over a decade; it's a longtime passion project of Tian's, adapted from Ah Cheng's Cultural Revolution novella The King of Trees. (Its two companion novellas, The King of Children and The King of Chess, have of course been adapted before.) Then there was a long stretch of radio silence, which might've optimistically been chalked up to the unstable market conditions given the ongoing pandemic and China's "zero-Covid" policies... but in a feature-length interview doc released last month to coincide with his receipt of something called the "Chaplin Award Asia," Tian said the film was submitted to the censors two years ago and he hasn't heard a thing since. He sounds resigned to the whole situation and that he's "lost hope in movies again." For more fun stuff, some kind soul has uploaded the whole doc to YouTube, but the only subtitles are in Chinese.

Borderline, a comedic thriller starring the excellent Samara Weaving from Ready or Not and the great Eric Dane from Euphoria!

Elizabeth Banks directed a thriller called Cocaine Bear, inspired by true events that took place in 1985 Kentucky, during which a 175-pound black bear ingested 88 pounds of pure cocaine and went on a murderous rampage. A star-studded cast includes Keri Russell, Margo Martindale, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and the late Ray Liotta

OK, that sounds a lot more interesting than Pitch Perfect 2.

John McTiernan is back
This seems to be back on track, though the title has changed to Tau Ceti Foxtrot. The source is a Twitter user, who revealed that he also has a paranormal thriller called Ghost in the Machine in the works. All of his films were made in a span of 17 years, and it's now been 19 years since his last film. Would be cool if he'd get to make two movies back-to-back.

Adam Sandler confirmed he's reteaming with the Safdie brothers on a new project, giving no details other than "it's different" (presumably in reference to the tone of their last two cinematic heart-attacks)
This is going to start shooting in the late winter.
