Producer Barbara Broccoli confirmed that the next 007 film will be a total “reinvention” of the famed spy and that casting hasn’t even begun yet. “Nobody’s in the running,” Broccoli revealed during a BFI Fellowship dinner, via Deadline. “We’re working out where to go with him, we’re talking that through. There isn’t a script and we can’t come up with one until we decide how we’re going to approach the next film because, really, it’s a reinvention of Bond....

The thread began as a response to a “pitch a movie in two pictures, no caption” challenge that Gunn accepted, sharing a picture of the “Gilligan’s Island” crew alongside a depiction of cannibalism. (Via Collider.) “A true story: In the late 90’s screenwriting GOAT Charlie Kaufman pitched a movie version of Gilligan’s Island where the islanders, starving & desperate, started killing & eating each other. Warner Bros wanted to do it — but Sherwood Schwartz, the creator, said no way,” Gunn wrote....

James McAvoy, for one, won’t be mounting an Oscar campaign any time soon. In a new interview with GQ UK, the actor revealed that he refused to campaign for an Oscar nomination for his role in “Atonement.” Though his performance in Joe Wright’s 2007 film was warmly received, he felt uncomfortable with the level of self promotion it required. McAvoy made the decision after helping Forest Whitaker successfully campaign for an Oscar for “The Last King of Scotland” the year prior....

Campion faced off against Kenneth Branagh, Ryuske Hamaguchi, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Steven Spielberg in the stacked category. Campion and Spielberg were previously nominated together in the category back in 1991 (Spielberg went on to win for his “Schindler’s List,” while Campion took home her first Oscar for Best Original Screenplay). The filmmaker has long been viewed as the frontrunner in this category, and was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay (Sian Heder won for her “CODA”) and for Best Picture as a producer of “The Power of the Dog....

The actress recently finished filming “80 for Brady,” the roadtrip movie about four octogenarians traveling cross-country to see the 2017 Super Bowl in person, co-starring Sally Field, Rita Moreno, and her “Grace & Frankie” co-star Lily Tomlin. “To, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share,” she began her Instagram post. “I’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments. “This is a very treatable cancer....

The series has earned both strong ratings and plenty of awards love, with Julia Garner winning two Emmys for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series and Bateman taking home Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series. Whenever a show that manages to straddle the line between prestige and popularity comes to an end, it’s always a safe bet to assume the ending will be highly scrutinized. That’s even more true when a series hinges on a simple question, the way “Ozark” does....

Now fans can add Jeremy Irons to the list of “Justice League” stars with harsh words for the film. In an interview with Variety promoting his role as Neville Chamberlain in Netflix’s “Munich: The Edge of War,” Irons was asked if he had watched original director Zack Snyder’s revised cut of the film.

West told the Los Angeles Times that he will take HBO to court if the network does not issue a retraction. “The series made us all [the Lakers] look like cartoon characters,” West told the Times. “They belittled something good. If I have to, I will take this all the way to the Supreme Court.” West and his attorney Louis R. Miller sent a letter last week criticizing the Adam McKay–produced series for an “egregious and cruel” portrayal of West....

(Watch the full video below.) Introduced as “the king of late night” by Rita Ferrero, Disney’s president of advertising sales and partnerships, Kimmel quipped, “I don’t know what multiverse I’m king of late night in, but I appreciate it....

“Being in a big franchise, it’s kind of like luxury jail sometimes for an actor when you want to do something else,” Boyega said in a Q&A with CinemaBlend (via Digital Spy). “Because remember, in a franchise you’re working on one character for many years, which can starve your other muscles. And in wanting to be in something where I knew that I’d play a different type of role, a different type of man, and then knowing Steve [McQueen] through, we’re all a part of the same industry so I’d heard about Steve’s directing style, I was really really curious and excited to have the opportunity anyway to be a part of it....

For the sake of contextualizing the weirdness of this romance a bit more, here’s the official synopsis, straight from distributor Dark Star Pictures: “Director Zoé Wittock’s first feature film ‘Jumbo’ stars Noémie Merlant (‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’) as Jeanne, a shy young woman, lives at home with her uninhibited bartender mother and works the graveyard shift as a cleaner at an amusement park.

Winslet, who won a Primetime Emmy Award for playing a rough-around-the-edges Philly-area cop in Brad Ingelsby’s crime series, recently told The Guardian that a second season would reflect the current crisis surrounding police brutality and wrongdoing.

“There were entire story lines around it,” Nanjiani said. “That stuff does get to you, where you’re like, ‘Aww…that’s not a great feeling.’ I love everyone on the show, and I never voiced this concern. Maybe I should have. Other actors did when they had stuff that they didn’t enjoy doing. I understand that story line ended up being funny. But yeah, parts of that didn’t feel great.” Nanjiani was joined in the Vulture interview by his wife and fellow screenwriter Emily V....

“The Mandalorian” was a massive success on Disney+, earning strong reviews for bringing “Star Wars” in new directions while maintaining what fans love about the franchise. “The Book of Boba Fett” was slightly more polarizing, but many were thrilled to see the beloved bounty hunter fleshed out in his own story. But Disney’s next “Star Wars” show is one of its most anticipated projects yet. “Obi-Wan Kenobi” features Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master from George Lucas’ prequel trilogy, alongside Hayden Christensen, who returns as Darth Vader....

“It was a long audition process, and then I didn’t hear from them for a few months,” Walker said. “I mean the whole world was struggling to figure out what we were going to do next at that point. And then one of the showrunners, J.D. [Payne] called me and he pitched the part and pitched the commitment, which is large. And I could hear on the phone that there was a PA system and a lot of noise in the background, and I still wasn’t sure....

“Mank” is a lot to take in. Diehard fans of classic Hollywood cinema and “Citizen Kane” obsessives alike may be well-suited to parse David Fincher’s complex portrait of world-weary screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, but even then, this intricate black-and-white drama draws on a lot of reference points that a many audience members may not grasp the first time around. The movie tracks two dueling narratives: Mank’s experiences in Hollywood throughout the ’30s, as he undergoes a falling out with Hollywood and studio moguls over their politics, and his decision to use his experiences in that world to write his greatest work — inspired by his former proximity to media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, who became the template for the affluent mystery at the center of “Citizen Kane....

In addition, Michael Starrbury has been hired to pen a new script for the feature, which stars Mahershala Ali as the Marvel Comics vampire character.
