Two major talking points have emerged from this morning’s Venice lineup announcement. The first is the lack of Hollywood titles. The second is the lack of female filmmakers.

Will this be a horror movie? Nobody really knows yet. We need a trailer. The tagline: “Before he was Ebenezer, he was Scrooge” seems to imply West’s film is an origin story.

“Supergirl” has grossed $70M domestically and $120M worldwide against a budget reported to be anywhere between $170M and $186M. It’s turned into a problem for James Gunn’s DCU.

Aronofsky is raising capital for Primordial Soup, an AI-focused studio he founded to develop films and storytelling projects built around generative AI. He needs $15M to make his wish come true.

Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” reboot, which has tested very well, now has a new trailer. It looks like a frenetic banger—a great way to whet our appetites for September’s most anticipated movie.

The general consensus this morning is that the lineup for the 83rd Venice Film Festival is underwhelming. It’s such an odd year, with the same challenges as Cannes in locking Hollywood titles.

A few weeks ago, Ridley Scott told Empire magazine that his adaptation of “Treasure Island,” starring Hugh Jackman, was his top priority—provided he could find a studio willing to finance it.

While we await Mike Judge’s next film—which may or may never happen—he has lined up a new project at Apple TV+ and managed to secure two major stars as his leads.

“Company” marks Affleck’s third feature as a director, following the 2010 mockumentary “I’m Still Here” and 2019’s “Light of My Life,” which had its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.

Cohen has shot a new Ali G movie, reportedly having wrapped production recently. Amazon/MGM is behind the film, set to be Cohen’s directorial debut, and hitting theaters this fall.

Powell will portray the legendary New York Yankees first baseman, with Linklater directing and Simon Rich (“Artificial”) writing the screenplay.

Tom Cruise is actually dead serious about making “Days of Thunder 2” — so much so that THR is now reporting it will be his next film, with production revving up to begin, possibly as early as this fall.

A trailer has arrived for “Clayface,” the upcoming DC Studios feature directed by James Watkins and written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, positioning the film as a Halloween-season release for 2026.

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is a major success, having earned a ridiculous $20M on Tuesday, but Elon Musk is not stopping his barrage against the film.

Kevin Feige was doing press in Shanghai when he revealed that Marvel isn’t just planning for this decade or the next—he’s already mapped out the MCU through 2042:

Chris Rock is set to premiere “Misty Green,” his latest directorial effort, at TIFF in September. A24 is on board. A trailer has now been released for the film.

Universal has announced that its Snoop Dogg biopic, “Snoop,” will hit theaters on August 7, 2027 — the same release timeframe that “Straight Outta Compton” received in 2015.

‘Doomsday’ generated $16.5M in advance ticket sales on its first day of availability. That’s twice the first-day presales of 2024’s “Deadpool & Wolverine”—and those figures included all formats and screens.

Yet, these layoffs come despite the recent success of “Toy Story 5,” which is nearing the $1 billion mark at the global box office, and “Inside Out 2,” which made close to $1.7 billion.
