Bryan Fuller's Dust Bunny. Mads Mikkelsen, Sigourney Weaver.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, bum-bum-bum. Song Sung Blue. Craig Brewer writes/directs from a 2008 documentary. Feels like a license to print money.

Tom Gormican (of The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent) reboots Anaconda, ensures a future flush with "having your snake and eating it too" quips.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!

Finally, I was wholly taken with Harry Lighton’s assured feature debut Pillion — a very sexually explicit romantic comedy of sorts involving a meek parking attendant who lives with his parents (Harry Melling) establishing an unconventional relationship with Alexander Skarsgard’s mysterious biker. Very funny, very sexy, surprisingly moving, and really sticks the landing with an epilogue that doesn’t take any easy outs. Lighton’s deft direction is stylish without ever getting in the way, and the editing is crisp and delivers on the comic and emotional moments with precision. Not 100% sure it will be able to be released by A24 in its current form without cuts to avoid an NC-17, but absolutely worth seeking out — as will be any of Lighton’s future efforts.

Would you rather watch Adam Sandler abandon Carey Mulligan for a giant digital emotional support spider voiced by Paul Dano, or pre-grieve with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and a giant digital parrot voiced by Cookie Monster?

...or grieve with Benedict Cumberbatch and a giant crow voiced by David Thewlis?

Obex, from Albert Birney, co-director of Sylvio and Strawberry Mansion.

...or grieve with Benedict Cumberbatch and a giant crow voiced by David Thewlis?

I like the novella. I remember it getting a stage adaptation, which makes sense, but a film will be… interesting. They must have expanded the material a considerable amount.

Finnish-folklore inspired horror Love Is The Monster, from director Alex Noyerand and starring Madeline Zima is set to premiere at Los Angeles' Screamfest on October 13. This may not be great by a long shot, but one can always hope, and I'm excited to see Zima in a starring role.

[brundlefly]

Urška Djukić's Little Trouble Girls.

[brundlefly]

Ta-da! Ben Jacobson's Bunny.

[brundlefly]

Sander Maran's Estonian musical horror comedy, Chainsaws Were Singing.

[brundlefly]

Lucile Hadžihalilović's The Ice Tower.

[brundlefly]

Don't know that Hélène Cattet & Bruno Forzani's Reflection in a Dead Diamond got a US theatrical trailer, but the one for its streaming premiere is dandy (and NSFW).

[brundlefly]

Paolo Sorrentino's La grazia.

[sabbath]

Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.

[brundlefly]

Influencer is not the movie I feared it would be and a lot better than expected

Underutilized elsewhere, Cassandra Naud is back for Influencers. Also from w/d Kurtis David Harder.

[brundlefly]

Gore Verbinski's Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die (NSFW). With Sam Rockwell. There is a titular line *and* a theme song and a Friday the 13th release date.

Written by Matthew Robinson, w/d of The Invention of Lying, co-scripter of Love and Monsters.

[brundlefly]

The Dardennes' Jeunes mères.

[Aspect]

I’m surprised that Janus didn’t nab the new Dardennes’ movie, but I’m glad it’s getting released in the US. Hopefully Music Box gives it a blu ray.

[brundlefly]

Diego Céspedes’ The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo...

[brundlefly]

...and Charlie Polinger's The Plague.
