Netflix is the home for the new Safdies/Sandler film. It's also said to likely be set in the world of "high-end card collecting".

Sounds as if it could be an unofficial
Logan Paul biopic.

Take this with a grain of salt since it is coming from Jordan Ruimy but Lynne Ramsay’s ‘Stone Matress’, starring Julianne Moore and Sandra Oh, is set to start
shooting in December.

Neeson is terrific in Life's Too Short, from forgetting who Warwick Davis is to his gradual worsening of the doctor's joke. Should add though that Gervais used the same kind of punchline in an episode of The Office (the training episode).

Old news (2017) but this seems to have flown very much under the world's radar: John MacNaughton, whoever that is, is involved in making a film of Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find":
https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/343 ... hard-find/
imdb says it's in pre-production, five years later. It's apparently scripted by one half of the same duo of brothers who wrote
Wise Blood for John Huston, Benedict Fitzgerald. I think the Fitzgerald family is very involved with the O'Connor estate, or something. It's my favorite Flannery story, and it could make an amazing film! Though given the movie undustry's track record with canonized Great Literature, I'm only very cautiously optimistic.
Wise Blood is, on the other hand, easily the worst work I've seen from her, to the point where for me there's no point in filming it at all.

Todd Haynes is currently shooting May December, a drama with Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman. It'll be his first movie without Ed Lachman since Velvet Goldmine (Lachman was set to do it but he broke his hip shortly before production started), with Christopher Blauvelt taking Lachman's place.

Bradley Cooper is now apparently our generation's Steve McQueen

Checks out. Does that make Alias our generation’s Wanted Dead or Alive?

Ang Lee is
returning to Mandarin and is scouting in
Malaysia for locations. I personally think Lee needs a comeback big time - he has such potential and has made some seriously great films. and
The Ice Storm aside, the best ones are his mandarin works.
since the article discusses Lee potentially getting the wonderful dish Bak Kut Teh in Malaysia, I will take this opportunity to remind everyone he's a massive foodie and
this is one of the best pictures of all time

I don't know if this is what he was scouting for, but Ang Lee will direct his son Mason in a
biopic of Bruce Lee.

I didn't see the point until I read this line: "[it] is intended to reignite Night of the Living Dead as a franchise". So that's it. They want their own cinematic universe. Seems unnecessary--horror is one of the few things that remains consistently profitable without needing a larger IP umbrella. People will even go see 2.5 hour sequels to indie horror films they've never heard of (ie.
Terrifier 2).

Elizabeth Banks directed a thriller called
Cocaine Bear, inspired by true events that took place in 1985 Kentucky, during which a 175-pound black bear ingested 88 pounds of pure cocaine and went on a murderous rampage. A star-studded cast includes Keri Russell, Margo Martindale, Alden Ehrenreich, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and the late Ray Liotta
OK, that sounds a lot more interesting than Pitch Perfect 2.
And here's the trailer.

Cocaine Bear was good fun, particularly if you're watching with an audience that goes along with the sheer ludicrousness of the film. There isn't much to explain really as the title tells you all you need to know. It's completely absurd and the cast play it pretty seriously, and at just over 90 mins, it moves at a fair lick too. Not sure I'd rewatch at home, but chalk it down as a fine cinema experience.

As long as Cocaine Bear is at least as good as
Grizzly Rage I will be happy.

Don't know how I missed this, but
Brady Corbet is in pre-production on his next film, titled The Brutalist, with a terrific cast including Joel Edgerton, Marion Cotillard, Mark Rylance, Sebastian Stan, Issach De Bankolé, Vanessa Kirby, Alessandro Nivola, as well as
Vox Lux's Raffey Cassidy and Stacy Martin.
Any word on if this project is still happening? It still reads as in pre-production online with no updates since 2020, and I have to imagine this cast isn't going to wait around forever...
The agency representing Lol Crawley (Corbet's DP) posted a news item about it adding crew members a week ago, with at least the top three of Edgerton, Cotillard, and Rylance still being attached.
EDIT: The CV of the newly-hired
costume designer doesn't list Edgerton but has Cotillard, Rylance, and Kirby, plus Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones.
