Here’s Jeff Sneider, via The Hot Mic podcast (20:50 mark), saying that Joe and Anthony Russo offered their services to direct ‘Avengers 5’ and Marvel turned them down. Go figure.

Last November, Ridley Scott told The New Yorker that he was location scouting and storyboarding his next film, a western, presumably set shoot in March.

Here’s a report from Daniel Richtman that claims Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Messiah” will start production in August 2025.

Focus has decided to quickly ship this one out digitally as Nichols’ film will be available July 9 on VOD, only 3 weeks after the film’s theatrical release.

Just like Francis Ford Coppola and “Megalopolis,” Kevin Costner is footing the bill for marketing costs on “Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1.”

The big film this week, no offense to Kevin Costner, is “A Quiet Place: Day One.” This is the third entry in the franchise. The first film, released in 2018, is still, far and away, the best and most accomplished one.

I’ve seen Eddie Murphy’s return as Axel Foley in Netflix’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” and, since I’m under embargo, I’ll just say that it’s one of the better Netflix-produced action movies.

Warner Bros. has reportedly dated an upcoming film from director Denis Villeneuve, set for release on December 18th, 2026

Bill Paxton’s “Frailty” is one of the most severely underrated films of the 21st century. If you haven’t seen it, please do. It questions our roles in religion, family and society. A very disturbing piece of cinema.

The film, currently going by BC Project, and also known as “Desert Highway,” is alleged to contain elements of the novel, but is not a 1:1 adaptation.

Michel Gondry’s “Atlantis,” which started shooting in April, has wrapped production. This is the long-delayed musical inspired by musician Pharrell Williams’ childhood.

“A Quiet Place: Day One” (#2) exceeded expectations with $6M in previews. I’ve adjusted my projections, and this one might open in the $48-$52M range.

As it stands, Deadline is hearing around $800k in Thursday previews for Kevin Costner’s three-hour epic, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1.”

There are some rumors spreading online that LucasFilm’s Rey movie, potentially titled “New Jedi Order,” is going to be shooting in September. That is sadly not true. The film is having issues.

I can confirm rumors that Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu” is 2 hours 11 minutes. Last December, a cut was screened, and it was 132 minutes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they shaved off a minute.

The Pixar film also just crossed the $400M mark, after just 13 days in release. This means that “Inside Out 2” has now made $44M more than the 2015 original grossed in its entire run.

Harmony Korine has announced his next two films, setting up his anime debut “The Trap,” and an untitled motion capture comedy.

Last year, after receiving negative test scores, and Marvel being underwhelmed by an early cut of the film, Julius Onah’s “Captain America: Brave New World” was delayed to February 2025.
