I am willing to bet that Ari Aster’s “Beau is Afraid” will get an F CinemaScore. I believe it would be the first time that this has happened since 2017’s “mother!” Both films, indulgently personal statements, would actually make for a deadly double-bill.

A little update on Quentin Tarantino’s “The Movie Critic.” The filmmaker is touring Europe right now, he had a very memorable stop in Paris a week ago, promoting his latest book “Cinema Speculation.”

We have an actual big update on Timothee Chalamet and James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic, “A Complete Unknown.”

You really have to laugh at the above headline from Variety. I’m sure they wrote it very purposely. It says, “French Director and Johnny Depp Collaborator Maiwenn Sued for Assaulting Journalist.”

It’s not a Christopher Nolan movie without some special 70mm IMAX showings.

Alright, I’m counting on sleuths here to do some investigating. I have not be able to confirm this intel, which I only received 24 hours ago, but I figured it was worth reporting on.

What I do know is that, all through these decades, Indiana has drunk from the cup of Christ, possessed by voodoo, been attacked by Nazis and has practically survived every other danger launched at him. He’ll be fine.

Where exactly has director Bennett Miller been all these years? Supposedly, he’s gone down the rabbit and been obsessed with the advent of A.I. technology. I don’t blame him, it’s an endlessly fascinating topic.

In an interview with New York Magazine, Paul Schrader let it slip that he’s about to shoot a new film in the coming months.

It seems as though Warner Bros has already given up on “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” in theaters. Now it’s hoping for a resurgence on VOD. Fat chance.

Hollywood loves James Mangold. He’s the current master of the “hired hand.” A talented filmmaker who doesn’t mind adhering to the creative control that studios strictly enforce in big franchises.

I’m hearing that Depp only has 15 minutes of screentime in ‘Jeanne’ and that he barely has lines of dialogue. It’s a mostly dialogue-free performance, I’m told.

One of the most anticipated movies of not just Cannes, but the ENTIRE YEAR is Jonathan Glazer’s holocaust drama “The Zone of Interest.”

Bill Butler. Total cinematic rock star. The great cinematographer passed away at the age 101. Triple digits. What a legend.

On a week where it seems like the entire industry has taken off for Passover and Easter, THR decided to shake the lame news cycle up by posting a list of their best films of the 21st century.

I mentioned two days ago that if Ben Affleck’s “Air,” starring Matt Damon and Viola Davis, wanted to be a legitimate Oscar contender then it needed to make a decent amount of money at the box-office.

There’s been talks, in some circles, of Cannes boss Thierry Fremaux going out of his way to look for female directors to be included in this year’s competition lineup.

Kantemir Balagov, director of “Beanpole”, “Closeness”, posted on Instagram last night that he was not going to make any more movies.

Many forget just how important and vital a cinematic voice Terry Gilliam was during his peak years, especially when he was battling Universal for the final cut of his 1985 masterpiece, “Brazil.”
