Lionsgate and Blumhouse, who apparently believe it’s a great idea to make another ‘Blair Witch’ movie, have hired Dylan Clark (“Transfigure,” “Home Movies,” and “Seagrass”) to direct the reboot.

Here’s Empire City Box Office confirming my previous intel. Netflix is going to release ‘Cliff Booth’ with a full on theatrical run in late September or early October.

This movie ain’t cheap. Universal reportedly gave the Daniels $150M to make it. That’s quite the amount given that their last film was made for just $25M.

Major studios and streamers—including Warner Bros., Sony, Universal, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix— were vying for Park’s latest, despite no stars being attached.

As mentioned last week, the opening night film for the 79th Cannes Film Festival will be Pierre Salvadori’s “La Vénus électrique.” It’s been officially announced by the festival this morning.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi has shot a film in France, titled “All of the Sudden,” which will feature female lead duo Virginie Efira (“Benedetta”) and Tao Okamoto (“The Wolverine”).

Following her Palme d’Or win — and Oscar for Best Original Screenplay — Justine Triet, the French filmmaker behind “Anatomy of a Fall,” has started shooting her next film.

It might come as good news for some ‘Scream’ fans that Williamson is now saying he will not be returning for “Scream 8,” which might still enter production in the fall.

Bigelow is coming off last year’s “A House of Dynamite”—her first film in over eight years. She’s also the filmmaker behind “The Hurt Locker,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” “Strange Days,” “Point Break,” and “Near Dark.”

McKay has set up a new film. He’s going to direct a script he’s not written, one penned by “Together” helmer Michael Shanks. Sony Pictures has picked up this untitled sci-fi comedy.

The reviews, much like the first one, are terrible. Even on Rotten Tomatoes, which nowadays seems to have almost every wide release garnering a “fresh” rating, it’s struggling.

Here comes Eli Roth to save cinema. Roth, a director best known for his contributions to the torture-porn genre, has dated his next film.

“Supergirl” has a full length trailer. Krypto is apparently in danger, he needs to be saved, but don’t worry — there’s almost zero chance he won't survive.

This trailer comes over a week after a very successful test screening for “Backrooms,” Even those unfamiliar with the story’s lore felt the film was effective.

Word is that Paramount Pictures President believes the project has the potential to become “the next ‘Transformers’ or could be a Marvel universe.”

Amy Adams and Patrick Wilson co-star as the couple Cady terrorizes. You would think the script must have been great for such talent to take part in a remake that, on paper, sounds unnecessary.

I’m mixed on Kristoffer Borgli’s “The Drama,” which, for some odd reason, had its review embargo lifted at 3 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT this morning.

Hey, would you look at that, Paramount is up to its old tricks again—not adhering to a robust theatrical bow for their biggest title of the year.

Ten years later, 2016 feels like a lifetime ago in cinema terms. Looking back, the movies from that year almost feel like artifacts from a world that’s somehow distant.

The competition lineup is starting to become a little clearer. We now know what’s ready, what isn’t, and with that, these twelve titles seem destined for Palme d’Or contention.
