Warner Bros ha compartido el nuevo tráiler de la película Una batalla tras otra, escrita y dirigida por Paul Thomas Anderson.

Una batalla tras otra supuestamente bebe de la novela Vineland (1990) de Thomas Pynchon, aunque en clave libre. En la película, un grupo de ex revolucionarios se reúne para rescatar a la hija de uno de ellos.

La película está protagonizada por Leonardo DiCaprio (Los asesinos de la luna), Sean Penn (Ciudad de asfalto), Benicio Del Toro (Sicarios), Regina Hall (Plan de chicas), Teyana Taylor (Mil uno), Chase Infiniti (Presunto inocente), Wood Harris (La dama del lago) y Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza).

El presupuesto de la película es de más de 140 millones de dólares, lo que la convierte en la película más cara de Anderson.

Una batalla tras otra se estrena en cines el 26 de septiembre.

¡Os dejamos con el nuevo tráiler de la película!

On July 25, It's time to head back to the links — and the 1990s — with Adam Sandler. The star is picking up his golf clubs again for Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2, a belated follow-up to the 1996 golf comedy that propelled him onto Hollywood's comedy A-list. It's the first time that Sandler has revisited one of those vintage comedies; to date, his only live-action sequels to previous successes have been Grown-Ups 2 and Murder Mystery 2.

Interestingly, Happy Gilmore 2 is arriving on Netflix one month ahead of Sandler's latest seriocomic turn; the actor will be starring alongside George Clooney in Noah Baumbach's Venice-bound feature Jay Kelly. And the two actors will likely be joined at the hip throughout awards season as Clooney positions himself for his first Best Actor nomination since The Descendants way back in 2013. (He won a Best Supporting Actor statuette in 2007 for Syriana.)

Meanwhile, Jay Kelly...

Warner Bros. Pictures’ One Battle After Another trailer shows Leonardo DiCaprio‘s character trying to keep away from Sean Penn’s character while seeking help from Benicio del Toro’s. The new trailer arrived with posters featuring the star-studded cast.

In addition to DiCaprio, Penn, and del Toro, the dark comedy stars Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, and Alana Haim. Oscar nominee Paul Thomas Anderson wrote the screenplay, directs, and produces. Adam Somner and Sara Murphy also serve as producers, with Will Weiske executive producing.

Warner Bros. hasn’t released the official synopsis, but the studio has set a September 26, 2025 release in theaters and IMAX.

One Battle After Another‘s behind-the-camera team includes directors of photography Michael Bauman and Anderson, production designer Florencia Martin, editor Andy Jurgensen, costume designer Colleen Atwood, and casting director Cassandra Kulukundis. Jonny Greenwood is the composer.

Horror film “Weapons” is stocking up on promotional ammo ahead of its Aug. 8 release with multiple integrations launching today in Fortnite.

Available at 9 a.m. Pt/12 p.m. Et, elements from the Zach Cregger-directed movie that fuse the “unsettling tension of the film with gameplay” will appear across Fortnite’s “Troll Bed Wars,” “Warrior Tycoon,” “Easy Parkour” and “Drive City” modes.

An original horror effort, “Weapons” revolves around a town’s reaction to the disappearance of an entire classroom’s worth of students who ran from from their homes in the wee hours and vanished into the night, triggering a wave of frantic finger-pointing and accusations ensnaring the students’ teacher played by Julia Garner.

Developed by creative agency and production studio Sawhorse, the film’s integration on Fortnite also includes the “2:17 Am” event occurring at the designated time in the Utc time zone, which Sawhorse describes as “an...

“One Battle After Another” is inching closer, and the film dropped a new trailer Thursday to keep up the excitement.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro (among others), arrives in theaters on Sept. 26. And after an enigmatic trailer and some smaller clips (including one that is currently playing before “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair” at the Vista in Los Angeles), a new trailer has debuted online. Watch it below.

Clearly this is more in line with what you would imagine a studio-cut trailer to be. It more explicitly spells out the plot, with DiCaprio’s Bob starting out as a more passionate revolutionary and rejoining the fray after his child (Chase Infiniti from Apple’s “Presumed Innocent” series) is abducted by a psychopathic colonel (Penn). It’s even set to a jaunty Beyoncé tune most closely associated with the presidential campaign for Kamala Harris.

Take a look at more footage from the new action thriller “One Battle After Another”, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (“There Will Be Blood”), starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris and Benicio del Toro, releasing September 26, 2025 in theaters:

“…when their evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years, a band of ex-revolutionaries reunite again…

“…to rescue the daughter of one of their own…”

Netflix revealed the full official trailer for ‘Hostage’ — a gripping new limited series that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The five-part event launches globally on August 21.

Starring and executive produced by Suranne Jones in her first project with Netflix, Hostage comes from the mind of Matt Charman, with direction by Isabel Sieb and Amy Neil.

When the British Prime Minister’s husband is abducted and the French President is blackmailed during an official visit, a deadly game of politics and personal peril begins. As tensions rise, both leaders must navigate a maze of deception, betrayal, and high-stakes diplomacy. Can they set aside their rivalry to stop a crisis that threatens more than just their careers?

Suranne Jones, Julie Delpy, Corey Mylchreest, Lucian Msamati, Ashley Thomas, James Cosmo, Martin McCann, and Jehnny Beth.

"Guess this this is the end of the line?" "Not for you..." Lfg! Warner Bros revealed the second official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another movie - his action thriller about revolutionaries. This is hitting theaters nationwide in September in just a few months. This exciting new PTA movie is about a father trying to find his daughter who has been arrested (rewatch the first official trailer). There is still no full synopsis yet but here's the one-liner: When their evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years, a band of ex-revolutionaries reunite again to rescue the daughter of one of their own. This stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, plus Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Benicio del Toro as "Sensei", Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti as his daughter. This is also the sixth movie collaboration between P.T. Anderson and composer Jonny Greenwood. This is the best trailer yet!

“Freedom is no fear, just like Tom Cruise,” Benicio Del Toro tells Leonardo DiCaprio, mid-car-chase, in the latest trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another.” And that’s right before DiCaprio heaves himself out of a moving car.

Anderson’s 10th feature, his second Thomas Pynchon-inspired adaptation after “Inherent Vice,” is likely to skip fall festivals altogether after being a no-show on this week’s Venice or TIFF lineups. The pot-fueled Southern California noir “Inherent Vice” actually was Anderson’s last movie to play festivals — then the New York Film Festival — as he opted to skip the circuit for Oscar nominees “Phantom Thread” and “Licorice Pizza.”

The new trailer offers a deeper look at “One Battle After Another’s” action set pieces, all set to Beyoncé’s rousing “Freedom” off her 2016 album “Lemonade.” With DiCaprio uniting with Anderson for the first time, the cast also includes del Toro,...

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new action thriller One Battle After Another is coming to theaters this fall, and the first full trailer has finally dropped. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, a former revolutionary who joins forces with old allies when a dangerous enemy shows up again after 16 years.

Their mission this time is to rescue the daughter of one of their own. The cast also includes Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti, who makes her film debut.

The story is inspired by the 1990 novel Vineland by Thomas Pynchon. Anderson previously adapted Pynchon’s Inherent Vice, and this new project brings his work back to that strange, rebellious world.

According to reports the film is backed by Warner Bros. Pictures and comes with a budget that has grown to over $140 million. Warner reportedly believes DiCaprio’s history at the box office justifies the cost.

Paul Thomas Anderson is back with a new action thriller called One Battle After Another, set to hit theaters on September 26, 2025, in the United States and Canada through Warner Bros. Pictures.

The story centers on a group of former revolutionaries who come together after 16 years to save the daughter of one of their own when a dangerous enemy returns. The cast includes big names like Leonardo DiCaprio playing Bob Ferguson, Sean Penn as Col. Steven J. Lockjaw, and Benicio del Toro as Sensei Sergio, alongside Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and newcomer Chase Infiniti.

The film is inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, which Anderson has adapted before with Inherent Vice. Filming began early 2024 in California and later moved to various locations including Sacramento, the Anza-Borrego Desert, and El Paso, Texas. The shoot used 35mm VistaVision cameras, and Michael Bauman worked as the cinematographer, teaming up again with Anderson after their work on Licorice Pizza.

Warner Bros. has just released the second trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson‘s upcoming film One Battle After Another. This trailer reveals more of the plot and features a more elaborate showing of Sean Penn’s role. Then, we see Leonardo DiCaprio jump into action as his wife becomes a political prisoner. Anderson directs One Battle After Another from his own script. Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, and Chase Infinity lead the cast alongside DiCaprio.

One Battle After Another is Anderson’s latest film since 2021’s Licorice Pizza, a coming-of-age comedy about first love with Cooper Hoffman, Alana Haim, Sean Penn, and Tom Waits. Oddly enough, One Battle is DiCaprio’s first collaboration with Anderson. Their union feels long overdue. Still, this is the perfect project to showcase their talents.

According to The Film Stage, One Battle After Another is a retelling...

Warner Bros. Pictures has revealed the new trailer for One Battle After Another, from Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson. Character posters for the film have also been revealed.

The film stars Academy Award and BAFTA winner Leonardo DiCaprio, Oscar and BAFTA winners Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, and Alana Haim.

Anderson directs from his screenplay and produces alongside Oscar and BAFTA nominees Adam Somner and Sara Murphy, with Will Weiske executive producing.

The creative team behind the camera includes several frequent collaborators, among them directors of photography Michael Bauman and Anderson; Oscar-nominated, BAFTA-winning production designer Florencia Martin; and BAFTA-nominated editor Andy Jurgensen.

There’s also Oscar and BAFTA-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, casting director Cassandra Kulukundis, and music by Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated composer Jonny Greenwood.

Principal photography for the film began in January 2024. Filming took place in California and Texas.

We’re now just two months away from Paul Thomas Anderson’s highly anticipated One Battle After Another. Ahead of the September 26 release, which features an IMAX and 70mm roll-out, Warner Bros. has now finally started to kick up the marketing as the first full Kendrick Lamar-backed trailer has arrived along with a set of character posters.

Marking the director’s long-awaited collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio after they attempted to work together for Boogie Nights some three decades ago, the action-thriller-comedy draws from Thomas Pynchon’s sprawling 1990 novel Vineland. While the novel was set in the Reagan era, PTA has shifted to the modern day, telling the story of a father who has left behind his radical past and is now living a quiet life on the lam with his daughter. When Sean Penn’s white supremacist Colonel character returns from the past to track them down, they must go on the run.

MetFilm Distribution has debuted a trailer for the compelling drama ‘The Courageous.’

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Switzerland’s Valais region, the film follows Jule (Ophélia Kolb), an eccentric and defiant single mother of three who’s had enough of playing by society’s rules. Crushed by past mistakes and disillusioned by a social welfare system that offers little compassion—or second chances—Jule fights to prove, both to her children and to herself, that she’s still a good person. As she navigates the line between resilience and self-deception, her journey becomes a powerful exploration of love, dignity, and the fierce determination to hold her family together against all odds.

In her poignant debut feature, director Jasmin Gordon delivers a nuanced portrait of a woman rarely seen on screen — flawed, loving, and fiercely human — while shedding light on the invisible struggles of the working poor and the quiet pressures of societal expectation.

Exclusive: Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza) is locked in for a role in Artificial, Luca Guadagnino’s AI movie for Amazon MGM Studios, Deadline has learned.

Character details are under wraps. Word of his involvement comes following the revelation this morning that The Studio‘s Ike Barinholtz is negotiating to join in the role of Elon Musk. Other cast members who have completed their deals so far include Anora breakout Yura Borisov, Andrew Garfield and Cooper Koch.

Official plot details for Artificial are being kept under wraps, although the film is being described as a comedic drama set in the world of artificial intelligence. While unconfirmed, sources say the film revolves around the period at the artificial intelligence company OpenAI in 2023 that saw CEO Sam Altman fired and rehired in a matter of days.

Simon Rich wrote the script and will produce alongside Heyday Films’ David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford, as well as Jennifer Fox.

¡Os dejamos con el nuevo tráiler de la película!

Acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson returns with a wickedly subversive black comedy action film, ‘One Battle After Another,’ and a new trailer has finally arrived—promising a stylish, high-stakes thrill ride brimming with grit, absurdity, and nostalgia-drenched chaos.

Leonardo DiCaprio leads the all-star ensemble in this modern-day adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s cult classic Vineland. Set in the fragmented haze of 1984 Northern California, the film tackles the lingering fallout of the 1960s counterculture as it collides with the cold realities of Reagan-era America.

The trailer opens with sun-bleached flashbacks and VHS fuzz, before snapping into the present with DiCaprio’s jaded ex-revolutionary—grizzled, cynical, and in hiding—being dragged back into the fray. When his estranged daughter vanishes, abducted by a vengeful adversary long thought dead, he’s forced to rally his old comrades for one last, ludicrous mission.

Joining him are powerhouse talents Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn,...

Iconic director Paul Thomas Anderson is back with yet another banger of a movie! And this time, he is casting Leonardo DiCaprio as a former revolutionary mixed with a bit of Taken storyline.

Don’t judge the film from its synopsis. One Battle After Another is a movie that stars Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, which will have you hooked and give you a sense of changing times simultaneously.

The official trailer for One Battle After Another has been released, which sees a paranoid Leonardo DiCaprio trying to search for his daughter. From controversies to ‘Revolución’, the film is riddled with sarcastic takes in a modern-day America. Naturally, the film is bound to have some haters and controversies.

Director Zach Cregger is back with yet another horror masterpiece, and this time, there are a bunch of kids gone missing. Starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin in leading roles, Weapons is looking like a great horror piece, and fans are excited.

The first reactions for Weapons have been made public, where audiences got an early release before its theatrical debut, and it seems that Zach Cregger has done it again. With plenty of horror, mystery, and an intriguing storyline that never loses its gravitas, the upcoming movie is every horror fan’s dream come true, and the first reactions say it all.

Adam Sandler has starred in plenty of comedy classics, and one underrated sports remake is finding renewed success on streaming. While many viewers are excitedly rewatching Sandler’s old work in the lead-up to the long-awaited legacy sequel Happy Gilmore 2, plenty of previously slept-on releases are finally getting their due.

As a star who's equally comfortable making silly comedies packed with crude humor like Billy Madison, Big Daddy, and Grown Ups, Sandler has also revealed himself as a talented dramatic actor in movies like Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love and the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems. With a varied filmography to his name, Sandler has proven he’s more than just funny.

As fall festival lineups are revealed, the awards race comes into focus. This week saw major announcements from the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, making the rest of the year for Oscar watchers a bit clearer on which movies will be vying for the top awards.

But some mysteries remain. As release dates loom and Telluride remains tight-lipped as usual, a number of presumed Oscar contenders are question marks at the moment.

Here are the questions we're asking as we look ahead at the end-of-the-year film festival line-ups.

Will A House of Dynamite blow up?

The fall release with equal amounts of buzz and mystery surrounding it has to be Kathryn Bigelow's first film in eight years, A House of Dynamite. The movie, which stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, and Greta Lee, was announced by its distributor, Netflix, a little over a month ago with...

Early Tuesday morning, the Venice Film Festival announced the lineup for its 82nd edition featuring a range of films set to make waves internationally the rest of the year. While many of the competition titles were predicted by IndieWire and others ahead of the official announcement on the morning of July 22, the overall list of films and filmmakers in attendance still offered plenty of surprises.

Below, we dive into what stood out about the lineup, whether it was which films and studios are not participating this time around, to the ways in which this group of Venice entries differs from the ones from last year.

No Warner Bros. Pictures

While there are other studios that are not taking some expected features to Venice, like Focus Features with “Hamnet” or Sony with “Klara and the Sun,” the studio most noticeably absent from any part of the Venice schedule is Warner Bros.

We’re now less than three months away from Paul Thomas Anderson’s highly anticipated One Battle After Another. The September 26 release, which would set it up nicely for a fall festival run if PTA so desires, will feature an IMAX and 70mm roll-out. If you saw F1 this weekend, you may have noticed a fresh teaser trailer for the film unveiling new footage, which has now made its way online.

Marking the director’s long-awaited collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio after they attempted to work together for Boogie Nights some three decades ago, the action-thriller-comedy draws from Thomas Pynchon’s sprawling 1990 novel Vineland.

It’s been three years since up-and-coming horror filmmaker Zach Cregger unleashed Barbarian on unsuspecting audiences. The mysterious film, starring Bill Skarsgård, Georgina Campbell, and Justin Long, generated early buzz thanks to its unpredictability, unconventional premise, and enthusiasm from die-hard horror buffs. On August 8, Cregger returns to theaters with Weapons, another frightfest with clever viral marketing, a cherry cast, and positive word of mouth fueling its release. The first reactions to Weapons are making the rounds online, with critics and moviegoers saying it’s another feather in Cregger’s cap, proving he’s a filmmaker to watch with a promising career ahead.

The first reactions to Weapons call Cregger’s film a horror masterpiece, saying it’s a brilliant commentary on the attitudes and institutions during the fallout of a communal tragedy. Sadly, efforts to quell violence in rural areas yield little to no results in the face of calamity,...

Bradley Cooper continues to be omnipresent on the big screen, but even for the A-lister, the road has been bumpy on occasion. Cooper didn't think he would land his game-changing "The Hangover" role in 2009, and he might have completely quit acting if it weren't for Paul Thomas Anderson's 2021 film "Licorice Pizza."

The actor/filmmaker's first screen role was a 1999 guest star turn on "Sex and the City," which was by no means a small accomplishment considering the show's popularity at the time. However, Cooper originally aimed for loftier things. In fact, had the multi-hyphenate had his way, he would have scored the role of A.J. Frost (ultimately played by Ben Affleck) in Michael Bay's 1998 sci-fi disaster film "Armageddon." In a 2013 interview with NPR's Terry Gross, Cooper described his early DIY audition processes:

"There would be calls for, I remember, 'The Patriot' for the Heath Ledger role,...

What came first – the music or the misery? The perfect needle drop can help elevate a movie to perfection. It’s not the only factor, but when a song hits at just the right moment – be it a character introduction, a moment of realization, a drug deal gone sour… – it can make it the scene. Recently, The Hollywood Reporter spun the hits as they released a list of what they consider the 40 Best Needle Drops in Movies. So let’s take a look, discuss and – as is custom with any professional list – rip it to shreds!

THR made a smart choice in listing the movies alphabetically, therefore foregoing any additional favoritism or having to pick the definitive needle drop as #1. Another rule they implemented was that there could only be one song per filmmaker, although they lifted this for one director specifically – yes, it’s Martin Scorsese.

And this is...

Eleanor the Great receives an official US release date as its star, 95 years old, gears up for an Oscar campaign. From Scarlett Johansson in her directorial debut, with a script written by Tory Kamen, the drama stars June Squibb as the titular Eleanor Morgenstein, a nonagenarian Floridian who, after losing her best friend, moves back to New York City and forms an unlikely friendship.

In addition to Squibb in the lead role, the film also stars the Oscar-nominated Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Emmy-nominated Jessica Hecht, and Erin Kellyman.

Now, Sony Pictures Classics has announced that Eleanor the Great will be released in theaters in the United States and Canada on September 26. Another awards-season hopeful, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is also currently scheduled for that same date, as is The Strangers – Chapter 2.

Tom Cruise’s Film That He Still Regrets ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

There’s one movie Tom Cruise wishes he could erase from his filmography—and it’s not the one you’re thinking. Long before Top Gun and Mission: Impossible, the Hollywood superstar found himself in a film so forgettable, even he openly regrets doing it. Losin’ It came early in Tom Cruise’s career. It was an adult comedy meant for teens that landed in 1982. The movie followed a group of boys chasing after the usual coming-of-age plot. The Mission: Impossible star did not like it back then, and the years have not changed his mind. The film did not offer much in the way of substance, and he later admitted it taught him something important: that he never wanted to do that kind of project again.

Take a look at more footage from the thriller “One Battle After Another”, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (“There Will Be Blood”), starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris and Benicio del Toro, releasing September 26, 2025 in theaters:

The ending to Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia is as surreal as it gets, especially with the raining of frogs. The ensemble cast, starring Tom Cruise at the forefront, is an intimate exploration of existence and the messiness of life. Featuring an interconnected story of nine characters, when each stories reach its breaking point, the climax sees a sudden downpour of frogs from the sky.

From a misogynistic self-help guru struggling with his childhood trauma to a guilt-ridden TV host desperate for forgiveness, each of the characters is pushed to reckon with their emotional burdens in the wake of the frog rain.

What’s the Biblical Significance of Frogs Falling from the Sky in Magnolia?

Although the rain of frogs lacks a realistic explanation, the religious and thematic connotations do chime well with what the ending truly stands for. For the unversed, frogs in the Bible are often associated with plague,...

There are few interview subjects more candid, unpredictable, and downright entertaining than Quentin Tarantino. As far as filmmakers go, he exists on a saltily rarified plane with trash-talker supreme Orson Welles. He can be dishy, prickly and outrageously cocky, but as arguably the most influential filmmaker of his generation, he's at least earned the right to sound off on all things cinematic. And while I don't always agree with him, I appreciate that his opinions are coming from a fiercely sincere and deeply knowledgeable place.

While I enjoy Tarantino's brashness, I think he's at his very best when he goes to the mat for underappreciated film artists. Soon after he broke through with "Reservoir Dogs" in 1992 and established himself as an outspoken cinephile, he championed the films of Brian De Palma. This was not exactly an opportune time to sing the director's praises, as he'd just hit the skids...

Is the worst behind AMC Theatres and its beleaguered stock price? One Wall Street analyst thinks so.

With Hollywood at last giving the mega-exhibitor the certainty in its supply of tentpole releases needed to get film lovers back in the habit of going to the multiplex, Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese on Friday upgraded stock in AMC from neutral to outperform and set a $4.00 price target, from $3.00.

Reese argued in a July 11 investor note AMC “is poised to benefit from a more consistent release slate over the next several quarters,” and gain market share through to 2026 in North America and Europe. That good news for a company attempting to get out of a financial hole brought on by the pandemic lifted parent AMC Entertainment Holdings shares by 30 cents, or 10 percent, to $3.30 on Friday morning.

The Wedbush analysis is also more sanguine about AMC’s debt woes after the company repaid or...

We’ve made no secret of our quibbles with David Zaslav’s oversight of Turner Classic Movies. In June 2023, I wrote a critical op-ed (“Dear David Zaslav: Gutting TCM Will Not Help You Win Filmmakers Back to Warner Bros.”) right after the Warner Bros. Discovery CEO presided over layoffs amounting to 80 percent of the staff.

So it might come as some surprise that I’m now feeling bullish about the news that Zaslav and Warner Bros. co-heads Mike DeLuca and Pam Abdy will retain creative control over TCM as Warner Bros. Discovery prepares to split into two companies. (This arrangement was first reported by Variety and confirmed by IndieWire.) One will be the Studios and Streaming group, a business that oversees film and TV production, with Zaslav retained as CEO. The other is the Global Networks group, home to the present company’s entire suite of linear TV channels, with new CEO Gunnar Wiedenfels,...

“Lost in Space” is back from the darkest recesses of the cosmos.

Arrow Video, one of the great boutique home video labels, is bringing Stephen Hopkins’ 1998 space opera, based on Irwin Allen’s 1965 television series, back with a deluxe 4K Uhd package stuffed with special features this September. And as part of the release, Arrow has created a modern-style trailer, which you can watch below.

If you never saw “Lost in Space” when it was originally released, it smartly repurposed many elements from the original series – the robot, the villainous Doctor Smith (played here by a mustache-twirling Gary Oldman) and the Robinson family – while adding more twists and turns. If the original series was “Swiss Family Robinson” in space, this was considerably more complex. And much of that should be given to Hopkins, who was one of the more underrated auteurs of the decade, consistently bringing audiences thrilling, visually inventive popcorn movies.

Turner Classic Movies has carved out a special custody arrangement in the forthcoming Warner Bros. Discovery split, Variety has learned exclusively.

The classic film channel — beloved by Hollywood heavyweights and cinephiles around the world — has set a co-management structure ahead of Wbd’s planned separation. Creative functions like programming and strategy will remain with CEO David Zaslav’s Studios and Streaming Group, while distribution and business operations will be handled by Gunnar Wiedenfels’ Global Networks spinoff company.

Fellow brands like CNN, TNT Sports and Discovery will fully cross over with Wiedenfels. TCM will be the only channel with this agreement. In 2023, Zaslav gave creative oversight of the channel to Warner Bros. Pictures heads Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, who will remain in charge. Keeping the station in the world of film creatives was a priority for Zaslav, two sources added.

“David Zaslav’s deep appreciation for TCM is long-standing,...

The New York Timeshas aggregated the opinions of more than 500 influential directors, actors, and notable Hollywood names to discover the best movies of the past 25 years. With Javier Bardem as the terrifying hitman Anton Chigurh, the powerful performances and dark aesthetic of No Country for Old Men mean its reputation has only grown since its 2007 release.

No Country For Old Men Is The Top Western Of The 21st Century The Film Clocked In At Number 6 Overall

No Country for Old Men clocked in at number six for this century and was the highest-ranked true Western on the list,...

Christopher Nolan is once again in the spotlight, and it’s not because of a new movie. This time, it’s thanks to a ranking by The New York Times, which recently shared its list of the 100 best movies of the 21st century.

That’s a pretty bold move, considering the century’s not even halfway over, but the list got a lot of attention, and Nolan’s name showed up more than anyone else’s.

According to The New York Times, five of Nolan’s movies made the cut. That’s more than any other director on the list. It’s a reminder of just how much of an impact he’s had over the past 25 years. From his breakout moment with Memento to massive hits like Inception and The Dark Knight, Nolan has been behind some of the biggest and most talked-about films of this generation.

Christopher Nolan is having a big moment once again, thanks to a recent ranking from The New York Times. They released a huge list of what they believe are the 100 best movies of the 21st century.

And while it might feel a little early to rank a whole century’s worth of films, the list is packed with a mix of styles, genres, and directors, and yes, plenty of Nolan.

According to The New York Times, five of Nolan’s movies made the list, which is more than any other director. That’s a pretty big deal. Over the last 25 years, Nolan has gone from a rising indie name with Memento to one of the biggest directors in the world, known for smart blockbusters and mind-bending storytelling. His films from the early 2000s and beyond, like The Dark Knight, Inception, and Interstellar, have helped shape modern cinema.

The next film from acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson has had some interesting marketing thus far, with the film having received only a couple of teaser trailers and one poster. The director, who is best known for classic films such as There Will Be Blood and Boogie Nights, has famously kept many of the plot details of his films secret up until release. The same can be said for One Battle After Another, which is due for release in September, with still next to nothing known about the movie besides the basic plot, in which Leonardo DiCaprio's character takes action in the search for his daughter.

The first trailer, released three months ago, showcased some exciting imagery, painting the film as the most action-packed that Anderson has made thus far. Now, a new 44-second teaser (which can be viewed below) features additional footage from the upcoming film, including more...

Ahead of its September release, another glimpse at one of this year’s most anticipated films: One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Paul Thomas Anderson being given lots of money to go and make something that looks strangely close to an action film is shaping up to be 2025’s most fascinating throw of the dice for any studio. Warner Bros has already benefited once this year from backing a talented auteur with Ryan Coogler’s Sinners. We’re hoping the studio enjoys the same success with September’s One Battle After Another. While Warner Bros boss David Zaslav keeps talking about leaning into franchise films and the like, repeated hits from unique filmmakers will surely persuade him to keep investing in interesting and original cinema, too. Hopefully.

So even though Warner Bros has now released a second teaser for Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another,...

Illustrations by Stephanie Monohan.We begin with the unprocessed burst from the flare end of the camera roll, a fleeting, almost accidental image that will mirror the film’s final fade. Then, a flurry of opaque, milky strokes begins to churn, like dancing dust particles violently uprooted by a gust of wind. This is our immediate visual field. Slowly, behind this initial wave of chalky bands—now revealing themselves as slightly more defined forms with a faster, more chaotic movement—true three-dimensionality begins to emerge. We soon start to wonder: Is there more that will come into view? Will this impression of depth keep getting deeper? A blurry, reddish figure persists in the distance, stubbornly resisting focus. Gradually, it begins to sharpen. And finally, the initial queries are resolved: The white lines are snowfall; the red is a brick wall. The endless, mysterious depth we initially perceived—a promise, perhaps,...

Barbarian (watch it Here) writer/director Zach Cregger has assembled a strong cast for his mysterious horror project called Weapons, including Julia Garner (Ozark), Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo), Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange), Amy Madigan (Antlers), Austin Abrams (Euphoria), June Diane Raphael (Grace and Frankie), and Cary Christopher (Days of Our Lives)… and we’re going to have the chance to see that cast face the horrors Cregger has conjured up when Weapons reaches theatres on August 8th. Cregger has said that he was drawing inspiration from Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia when he was crafting this one – but now we have confirmation that his movie actually won’t be nearly as long as Magnolia. While Anderson’s movie had a running time of 188 minutes, Cregger’s film has the more bladder-friendly runtime of 128 minutes. Which is 26 minutes longer than Barbarian.
