Empire City is sounding the alarm on the way Warner Bros is treating Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2.” The, supposedly, “final” film of Eastwood’s career will be hitting less than 50 theaters with no marketing support on November 1, and no planned expansion rollout.

A recent report claimed that over 50% of next year’s big studio movies will be existing IP — a depressing stat. In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Baker says he “misses” the days when films like “Anora” would be a dime a dozen in theaters.

Matt Damon has stated that he’d be back for “one more” film in the ‘Bourne’ franchise. A Production Weekly listing now has the next instalment titled “The Bourne Dilemma,” and Berger is listed as having signed up to direct the film.

“I love dialogue, but not [always] in cinema,” he told BFI moderator Bret Goldstein. “I hope one day I will be able to make a film that will not use spoken language,” added Villeneuve. “I try as much as possible to use the power of images.”

According to Puck’s Matt Belloni , Greta Gerwig has been quietly raising the issue of giving her ‘Narnia’ films a theatrical release with Netflix’s newly-appointed film head, Dan Lin. However, Netflix isn’t budging and refusing Gerwig’s requests.

According to The Wrap , the first cut of “Ballerina,” which was described as a mess, “didn’t pass the muster” with Lionsgate and most of the film had be reshot by Stahelski, entirely from scratch.

When Xavier Dolan stated that he was retiring from filmmaking because “art is meaningless” and “the world is burning,” I gave him around a year to backtrack and announce a new project.

The SNL origin film fell flat this weekend at the box-office, failing to find an audience. Jason Reitman's “Saturday Night” grossed $3.4M, playing in 2300 screens. The budget on Reitman’s film was $25M.

Stanley Kubrick, possibly the greatest director that ever lived, kept his political views to himself. It was very hard to pin down what he believed in — he didn’t seem to be party political in any traditional sense, but definitely had a deep distrust of power and authority.

Brewer’s made a handful of strong films, including “Hustle & Flow,” and “Dolemite Is My Name,” but recently got a nice big fat paycheck to direct the critically panned “Coming 2 America.”
