As Oscar winning costume designer Milena Canonero faced the tall task of creating the looks for Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, the filmmaker happened to arrive in Italy with a gift from France.

“We decided to make own costumes, and not rent them. We made them in a workshop that we set up in Rome,” Canonero recalled on Friday during a Cartier masterclass conversation presented during the Venice Film Festival. “Sofia came to visit and arrived with an enormous box of macarons. Everybody knows them now, but in those days they were quite new, especially in Italy. In a very gentle way, she did not say that it was going to be the palette, but rather, ‘I really like these colors.’”

Canonero got the hint and used those colors as a “principal focus” for the entire 2006 period piece starring Kirsten Dunst in the title role as France’s rebellious queen.

Sofia Coppola and renowned costume designer Milena Canonero – who won Oscars for her work on Barry Lyndon, Chariots of Fire, Marie Antoinette and The Grand Budapest Hotel – kicked off Cartier’s annual program of conversations on the art and craft of cinema at the Venice Film Festival on Friday.

The pair went behind the scenes of their decades-long connection which began when Francis Ford Coppola took over direction of 1984 musical film The Cotton Club from Bob Evans, who in turn had replaced Robert Altman.

Canonero, who was attached to the film prior to Coppola’s arrival, said she had been elated when the director decided to keep most of the already hired craftspeople on the project.

“I met Milena when I was 11 or 12 years old on my father’s film The Cotton Club,” recalled Coppola. “I would always love to come to the studio after school and see what they were making.

HBO Max has more than a few memorable, worthwhile films lurking beyond the edges of its homepage. The streaming service’s hidden gems include a 1980s classic that will have you reaching for a box of tissues and the directorial debut of none other than Ryan Gosling, which will leave a more lasting impression than its muted initial response would have you believe. The platform even has at least one rip-roaring, thrilling historical epic that you likely have not seen before.

Here is your guide to some of the best hidden gems on HBO Max right now.

“Priscilla” (A24) “Priscilla” (2023)

“Priscilla,” director Sofia Coppola’s reflective film about Priscilla Presley,...

Longtime collaborators Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola are reportedly teaming up for another movie soon. The pair's most famous projects are 2006's Marie Antoinette and 1999's The Virgin Suicides, though their most recent ones are 2013's The Bling Ring and 2017's The Beguiled.

Without Dunst, Coppola received great acclaim for Lost in Translation, starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. Coppola won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture for this project. Dunst, meanwhile, is also known for starring in Spider-Man, Interview with the Vampire, Little Women, and, more recently, Melancholia.

Dunst just gave an interview with Town & Country Magazine, during which she mentioned that she has read the script for Coppola's next project. Coppola is coming from the critically acclaimed drama Priscilla, an adaptation of Priscilla Presley's memoir. Referring to the interview with Dunst, journalist Mickey Rapkin said:

Kirsten Dunst has two reasons why she wants to star in a Minecraft sequel movie!

If you don’t know, Jack Black and Jason Momoa starred in the first film, which ended up grossing $955 million worldwide. It’s one of the biggest box office films of 2025.

Now, Kirsten is weighing in on why she’d say yes to doing the sequel.

Keep reading to find out more…

Town & Country reports that it’s “Because her kids loved the first one and because she’d like to make a pile of cash.” Kirsten added, “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?”

Kirsten has definitely starred in some box office hits, including the Spider-Man trilogy of the early 2000s. She’s also starred in some critical hits and worked with lots of interesting directors, in movies like Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides and Jane Campion...

Kirsten Dunst is well known for teaming up with acclaimed directors, from Sofia Coppola to Lars von Trier (“Melancholia”), Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”), Alex Garland (“Civil War”) and upcoming turns in new films by Derek Cianfrance (“Roofman”) and Ruben Östlund (“The Entertainment System Is Down”). But sometimes, Dunst just wants to make money.

Speaking to Town & Country magazine for a new cover story, the Oscar nominee made the surprise revelation that she would happily star in “Minecraft 2.” Why? “Because her kids loved the first one and because she’d like to make a pile of cash,” the publication summarized, with Dunst adding herself: “Maybe I can just make a movie where I don’t lose money?”

“A Minecraft Movie,” headlined by Jack Black and Jason Momoa, dominated the spring box office with $955 million worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing movie of 2025 so far. Despite largely negative reviews,...

This article contains spoilers for "Weapons."

Although the recent horror movie "Weapons" has already received a lot of comparisons to the 1999 thriller "Magnolia," it turns out there's another hard-hitting film director Zach Cregger took inspiration from. In a recent interview with Letterboxd, Cregger explained that it was the Hugh Jackman-led 2013 thriller "Prisoners" that drove him most of all.

"First of all, the cinematography of 'Prisoners' is so gorgeous," Cregger explained. "It's this washed-out, somber, cloudy, rainy movie. I really wanted to evoke everything visually that movie evoked, so my cinematographer and I watched 'Prisoners' and talked about it a lot when we were scouting. It's very lived-in, too—that movie feels very authentic. You know, the mess in the people's homes and all that stuff is great." In an interview with The Playlist, Cregger confirmed this connection yet again, saying, "'Prisoners' is all over this movie.

A24 has acquired the worldwide rights to The Undertone, a slow-burn liminal horror film from Canada.

Deadline reports that a competitive bidding situation ensued following a splashy premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival last month, resulting in a mid-7-figure deal.

Paranormal podcast host Evy moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing supernatural noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own. Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.

Nina Kiri (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) stars in the film, which marks the feature debut of writer-director Ian Tuason.

Kris Holden-Ried (“The Umbrella Academy”), Michèle Duquet (The Virgin Suicides), Keana Lyn Bastidas (“The Hardy Boys”), and Jeff Yung (The Shrouds) round out the cast.

There’s something in the water off the coast of Newfoundland, and Josh Hartnett is on its trail.

In a new six-episode limited series event from creator Jesse McKeown (a writer on The Umbrella Academy and 19-2), a small Canadian town is the target of a mysterious sea creature — and the terrorized residents will have to find the strength to fight back. Leading the pack will be Hartnett. You can get a glimpse at the cast on the first day of production above.

“Jesse’s bold, ambitious vision offers thrills galore, with the heart of a family drama,” Netflix Canada content directors Danielle Woodrow and Tara Woodbury said. “We can’t wait to transport our members to coastal Newfoundland with this timely story about community, resilience and adaptability.”

Sofia Coppola makes her documentary debut with ‘Marc by Sofia’, an intimate portrait of the iconic designer Marc Jacobs.

The acclaimed director Sofia Coppola steps into documentary filmmaking with a production focused on one of the most influential names in contemporary fashion: Marc Jacobs. The film, titled ‘Marc by Sofia’, will premiere out of competition at the prestigious Venice Film Festival this summer, already establishing itself as one of the most anticipated releases in the worlds of art and fashion.

Coppola and Jacobs share a creative history spanning decades. Their bond goes beyond the professional, with collaborations including advertising campaigns, perfume commercials, and partnerships within brands such as Louis Vuitton and Heaven by Marc Jacobs. This closeness makes Coppola a privileged storyteller, able to explore Jacobs’s artistic, professional, and personal evolution from a unique perspective deeply connected to the subject.

Although details about the documentary’s narrative approach remain under wraps,...

We’re in the muggy middle of summer, but After Dark is coming at you from the Great White North. I’ve been in Montreal since Tuesday, and while my reporting on international affairs is generally pretty limited, I’m happy to confirm things truly are better in Canada.

Slaterverse Pictures and Black Fawn Films have unveiled the atmospheric new trailer and theatrical poster for The Undertone ahead of its sold-out world premiere at Fantasia.

Nina Kiri, Michèle Duquet, and Kris Holden-Ried star.

The Undertone follows the host of an ‘all-things-creepy’ podcast who moves into her dying mother’s house to be her primary caregiver. When she receives audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing paranormal noises, she realizes the woman’s story mirrors her own. Each new recording scratches at her sanity, drawing her into a fate she cannot escape.

The new horror movie marks the feature film debut of writer/director Ian Tuason.

“I think what makes this movie powerful, beyond its elements of horror, is the deep and vulnerable place it came from,” explains star Nina Kiri. “It takes a lot of courage to write something based on a painful and terrifying experience. Ian’s openness,...

Slaterverse Pictures and Black Fawn Films have released a first look at their highly

anticipated horror film, The Undertone. The film stars Nina Kiri (The Handmaid’s Tale), Michèle Duquet (The Virgin Suicides), and Kris Holden-Ried (The Umbrella Academy), who has recently joined the cast. The first look at the film accompanies the announcement that The Undertone will have its World Premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 27, 2025, in Montreal, Canada.

Produced by Dan Slater (Slaterverse) and Cody Calahan (Black Fawn Films), The Undertone follows the host of an ‘all-things-creepy’ podcast who moves into her dying mother’s house to become her primary caregiver. When her podcast is sent 10 strange audio recordings of a young pregnant couple experiencing paranormal noises, she realizes the woman’s story is a mirror of her own, while each new recording scratches at her sanity and draws her into a fate she cannot escape.

Sofia Coppola has an anti-violence rule for watching films — with one notable exception. The director said during a recent masterclass at the Biarritz Nouvelles Vagues Festival that she tries to steer clear of “violent” films, though she is still a fan of Martin Scorsese’s features.

“I love Scorsese, so there are moments for it,” Coppola said, adding that “violent themes can be interesting or insinuating.” However, as a whole, Coppola herself “[doesn’t] really like violent films.”

She added, “There’s so much gun violence in my country. It’s really hard to see [those] movies. Old cowboys are cool, but just the way [violence] is overdone now is upsetting. … But really gory, not so much for me.”

Scorsese has no doubt has been a personal staple in Coppola’s life: Scorsese presented her father, fellow auteur Francis Ford Coppola, with the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2025, and the duo have long praised each other’s work.

Don’t expect Sofia Coppola to jump on the horror movie bandwagon anytime soon. While speaking at a masterclass at the Biarritz’ Nouvelles Vagues Festival, Coppola said she “[doesn’t] really like violent films.”

“There’s so much gun violence in my country,” she said. “It’s really hard to see [those] movies. Old cowboys are cool, but just the way [violence] is overdone now is upsetting.”

Coppola, who flew from New York to be the guest of honor at the third edition of Nouvelles Vagues Festival in the picturesque south-western town of Biarritz, cited Martin Scorsese as a filmmaker whose movies have violence that serves a narrative purpose. “I love Scorsese, so there are moments for it,” she said, adding that “violent themes can be interesting or insinuating. But really, gory, not so much for me.”

The effortlessly chic Coppola also reminisced about her childhood, her early passion for fashion and photography, and...

Scottish-born Brazilian producer Daniel Dreifuss, whose credits include the Oscar and BAFTA-winning “All Quiet on the Western Front,” as well as the Oscar-nominated “No” by Chile’s Pablo Larrain, has boarded the limited series adaptation of “A Boy’s Own Story,” the seminal 1982 novel by the late gay author Edmund White.

Dreifuss joins director John Krokidas (“Kill Your Darlings,” “Times Like These”) and executive producers Brian Alessandro and Michael Carroll, on the first-ever screen adaptation of White’s pioneering autobiographical novel, the first in a trilogy.

Alessandro and Carroll, White’s widower, had adapted the autobiography into a graphic novel for Top Shelf Productions in 2023, and have been co-developing the series pilot with Dreifuss.

According to Dreifuss, they will also take some creative liberties, drawing from the graphic novel particularly in areas where they move beyond the strictly youth-focused narrative of the book.

The 29th edition of the Fantasia International Film Festival is set to run from from July 16th (one day earlier than previously announced) through August 3rd at the Concordia Hall and J.A. de Sève cinemas in Montreal, with additional screenings and events at Cinéma du Musée. The first wave of titles that will be shown at the festival this year were revealed four weeks ago, and now the second wave of titles has been unveiled! The full line-up will be announced in early July, but for here’s some information on what attendees can expect to see there, directly from the Fantasia press release:

Official Opening Film: Ari Aster’S Eddington: Fantasia’s 29th edition will open with a special screening of Ari Aster’s Eddington. In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington,...

The Fantasia International Film Festival will be celebrating its 29th edition with another densely packed slate of events and programming running from July 17 through August 3, 2025, returning to the Concordia Hall and J.A. de Sève cinemas and presented by Mels, with additional screenings and events at Montreal’s Cinéma du Musée.

The festival’s full lineup will be announced in early July, but in the meantime, Fantasia 2025 has revealed its second wave of premiere titles. Highlights include Ari Aster’s Eddington as the opening film, a trio of new releases from prolific filmmaker Takashi Miike, festival favorites like upcoming body horror movie Together, and so much more. Also be sure to catch up on the first wave of programming here.

A festival so nice they announced it twice (with even more to come), the Fantasia International Film Festival returns to Montréal for its 29th edition, July 16 — August 3. Yes, the 16th, not the 17th. Since announcing the festival’s first wave of titles in early May, organizers have added a day to accommodate for the hundreds of features and shorts they’ll be showing this summer.

Leading the pack is Ari Aster’s fourth feature, “Eddington,” which will open the festival with a special screening. From A24, the modern Western — starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal as candidates in a heated mayoral race — was met with generally warm reviews after its world premiere at Cannes. IndieWire’s David Ehrlich described the film as a “‘No Country for Old Men’ riff that hinges on mask mandates and the murder of George Floyd.” He praised Aster’s ambition, the timeliness of the material,...

Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague,” a cinematic love letter to the French New Wave which bowed at Cannes, will aptly kick off the third edition of the Biarritz Film Festival, also called Nouvelles Vagues, on June 24.

On the following day, Sofia Coppola, the festival’s guest of honor, will attend a screening of “Virgin Suicides” to celebrate its 25-year anniversary and take part in a masterclass before an audience filled with film students.

Coppola’s presence at the festival reflects the involvement of Chanel, a partner of the festival whose mantra is to shine a spotlight on young talent in front and behind the camera. Chanel hosted a glamorous dinner at the Grand Café du Grand Palais in Paris in honor of the festival on June 3.

Along with Nouvelles Vagues founder and president Jérôme Pulis, general delegate Sandrine Brauer and programming director Lili Hinstin, and Chanel president of fashion Bruno Pavlovsky,...

How Did Sofia Coppola Protect Kirsten Dunst? (Photo Credit – Prime Video/Wikipedia)

Kirsten Dunst wasn’t fresh to the camera when she strolled into Sofia Coppola’s dreamy 1999 directorial debut The Virgin Suicides. The actress has been in showbiz since she was three, starting out as a child model and gradually ascending the Tinseltown ladder. But being young and famous came with its fair share of awkward moments, especially when the scripts started calling for on-screen intimacy.

How Did Sofia Coppola Protect Teenage Kirsten Dunst During A Tricky Scene?

One such moment arrived when Sofia Coppola’s adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ haunting novel landed on her desk. Dunst was just a teen. The film called for a scene where her character, Lux Lisbon, smooches numerous boys on a rooftop.

That could’ve been seriously uncomfortable. But Sofia Coppola wasn’t about to let her star fumble through forced make-out sessions.

In collaboration with Los Angeles’ American Cinematheque, New York’s Paris Theater will be presenting the second annual “Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair” from June 8 to June 14. This beloved film series embraces the darker side of cinema with empathy, introspection, and unflinching honesty.

The series features a stellar lineup of special guests for post-screening conversations:

Kathleen Turner will be present for a screening of the dark comedy “The War of the Roses” (1989), which has recently been remade by Jay Roach starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch. John Turturro discusses “Miller’s Crossing” (1990), one of his standout collaborations with the Coen Brothers. Writer/Director Kenneth Lonergan returns to the Paris for a Q&a following “Manchester by the Sea” (2016), starring Academy Award-winner Casey Affleck and Lucas Hedges. Hot off their success with “The Brutalist,” Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold, joined by actor Daniel London, will discuss their work on “Vox Lux” (2018). Closing the series,...

Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides newly released collection of intimate and transporting on-set photographs by acclaimed British photographer Corinne Day. See rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of the iconic film.

To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of her debut film, The Virgin Suicides (1999), Sofia Coppola has released a collection of intimate and transporting on-set photographs by British photographer Corinne Day. This early project by Day, commissioned by Coppola, shows the development of her candid visual style at the start of her career, and has been edited by Coppola from the original negatives held in her collection.

The film follows the tragic story of the Lisbon sisters, developed from Jeffrey Eugenides’ novel The Virgin Suicides. Set in a quiet 1970s suburban Michigan town, Sofia Coppola’s haunting and atmospheric film unfolds through the nostalgic and somewhat unreliable perspective of now-adult men reflecting on their teenage fascination with their enigmatic neighbors, the five beautiful and sheltered Lisbon sisters.

Josh Hartnett is attached to star in a new Netflix thriller series, which will be his first leading TV show role in three years. Hartnett's The Fear Index ran for just one season in 2022, and the actor has only appeared on television in guest roles since. These include titles like The Bear and Black Mirror, where he appeared in the episode "Beyond the Sea," also on Netflix. Hartnett has also recently had a resurgence in his film career, with roles in Oppenheimer, Trap, and 2025's Fight or Flight.

Deadline reported that the Oppenheimer star will lead an untitled six-episode limited series set in Newfoundland, Canada, which will be produced by Josh Hartnett, Jesse McKeown, and Jessica Rhoades. Rhoades previously collaborated with Hartnett on his Black Mirror episode in 2023. The new thriller show will follow Josh Hartnett as a "hard-bitten fisherman" who has to protect his family, community, and way of...

Josh Hartnett has been cast in the lead role of an untitled limited series at Netflix that will be set and shot in Newfoundland, Canada. Both Hartnett and Jessica Rhoades have boarded the project as executive producers.

The official logline for the series reads, “When a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town, a hard-bitten fisherman must fight to protect his family, his community and his vanishing way of life.”

Harnett is best known for projects he acted in throughout the late ’90s and early 2000s. He first broke out in 1998 for playing John Tate in the slasher film “Halloween H20: 20 Years Later” and Zeke Tyler in the sci-fi horror “The Faculty.” He then starred in Sofia Coppola’s “The Virgin Suicides” (1999), Michael Bay’s “Pearl Harbor” (2001), Ridley Scott’s “Black Hawk Down” (2001) and Tim Blake Nelson’s “Othello” adaptation “O” (2001). His more recent credits include Christopher Nolan...

Sofia Coppola is recalling the moment she realized “The Virgin Suicides” was an iconic film — and it’s all thanks to Leslie Mann and Maude Apatow.

Coppola told i-d during the 25th anniversary of her 2000 directorial debut that she had no idea Gen Z was aware of the film until she was on set for her 2013 feature “The Bling Ring.” During production, actress Mann cited how her daughter was a fan of the film. Mann has two daughters with husband and collaborator Judd Apatow: Maude and Iris Apatow. At the time of “The Bling Ring,” the eldest Maude would have been 16, the same age as the Lisbon sisters in Coppola’s adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ novel. (Coppola had previously confirmed to Vogue that Maude Apatow is fan.)

When asked if “a fan or someone [has] come up to you and said something that’s really left a mark about your...

Mascha Schilinski's Sound of Falling is only the first film in competition but it's already a strong contender for the Palme d'Or, at least according to initial press reactions. These reactions, however, were divided on which directorial comparison best captured the German film's unsettling power and evocative atmosphere. Some critics have invoked Haneke – indeed, it’s hard not to recall The White Ribbon when faced with a narrative that unearths the unknowable, often dark, elements lurking even within children. Others point to Bergman, an almost inevitable comparison given the screenplay's skill in excavating the lives of four generations of women in a German farmhouse. It delves beneath their facade to touch upon a harsh, undiluted humanity where good and evil, innocence and cruelty, inextricably merge and overlap.

My own mind, however, drifted to Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides, though Angelika, Erika, Alma, and Lenka represent...

As if to quell any lingering gripes about an opening film that could be generously described as wafer-thin, organizers from this year’s Cannes Film Festival kicked off the Palme d’Or competition with a film of profuse (and maddening) complexity. Free-flowing and leaden, novelistic and allusive, dour and flowery, Mascha Schilinski’s “Sound of Falling” can take just about any adjective you want to dish, layering them all into a time-hopping mood board that follows four families, all living in the same German farmhouse over the course of a century.

Any attempt to diagram the kin links and plot turns that connect the four clans would give you a maze, which is just as well for a defiantly nonlinear uber-artfilm expressly designed as a labyrinth full of flourishes and dead-ends. Suffice it to say, “Sound of Falling” actively nurtures comparisons to “The Virgin Suicides” in tenor and tone – but only sometimes,...

Unfolding like 100 years of home video footage that were shot by the family ghosts, Mascha Schilinski’s rich and mesmeric “Sound of Falling” glimpses four generation of young women as they live, die, and suffuse their memories into the walls of a rural farmhouse in the north German region of Altmark.

In the 1940s, after some of the local boys are maimed by their parents in order to avoid fighting Hitler’s war, teenage Erika (Lea Drinda) hobbles through the halls with one of her tied legs up in string, eager to know what losing a limb might feel like. Unbeknownst to her, cherubic little Alma (Hanna Heckt) expressed a similar curiosity some 30 years earlier when she played dead on the parlor room couch, posing in the same position that her late grandmother’s corpse had been placed for a post-mortem daugerreotype.

And yet, coming of age in the German Democratic Republic of the 1980s,...

One is the loneliest number in Mascha Schilinski’s superb second feature, a fractured reflection on childhood and family that eschews linear narrative for immersive atmosphere, telling the story of four young girls from different eras whose lives play out, in the words of Harry Nilsson, by making rhymes of yesterday. Cinema is too small a word for what this sprawling yet intimate epic achieves in its ethereal, unnerving brilliance; forget Cannes, forget the Competition, forget the whole year, even — Sound of Falling is an all-timer.

The one constant in a kaleidoscopic timeline that plays out across a hundred years is a farmhouse in northern Germany, established in the opening scenes — perhaps in the ’30s or ’40s — as home to Erika (Lea Drinda), who amuses herself by binding her left leg and walking on her Uncle Fritz’s crutches. Fritz, an amputee, is largely bedbound and suffers night terrors, a...

A sequel to Harmony Korine’s cult classic “Spring Breakers,” which starred James Franco, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens, is officially a go.

“Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain” comes from the producers of the 2012 original but with an all new cast — including Bella Thorne. Replacing Korine in the director’s chair will be Matthew Bright (“Freeway”).

Capture — the recently-launched joint venture between Capstone Global and Signature Entertainment — is launching sales in Cannes.

Alongside Thorne, “Spring Breakers: Salvation Mountain” will star Ariel Martin (“Zombies 2”), Grace Van Dien (“Stranger Things”) and True Whitaker (“Godfather of Harlem”). The four are set to play a group of rebellious girls who hit the road for spring break in a crime thriller described as “a bold new ride for Gen Z.” But, as per the synopsis, “When their trip explodes out of control, they’re forced to outrun the chaos they’ve created.”

Producers of the original feature,...

Exclusive: Muse Films, an outfit behind films like Spring Breakers, The Virgin Suicides, and American Psycho, has acquired the film rights to New Millennium Boyz, a recent novel by Alex Kazemi.

Chris and Roberta Hanley will produce the adaptation for the company, with Kazemi co-writing alongside Brittany Menjivar.

Set during the Y2K era, New Millennium Boyz follows suburban teen Brad Sela, whose life unravels after he falls in with two volatile new friends. As they document their increasingly transgressive exploits on Handycams, Brad is pulled deeper into chaos on the brink of the new millennium.

The book was published by Permuted Press in the fall of 2023.

Muse Films seems a natural fit to produce New Millennium Boyz, given its edgy, provocative, and visually distinctive earlier work on films like American Psycho, as well as Spring Breakers and Bully, other portraits of youth on the edge

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions is boarding the North American theatrical release of Joshua Zeman’s documentary “Checkpoint Zoo,” which chronicles a “daring rescue led by a heroic team of zookeepers and volunteers, who risked their lives to save thousands of animals trapped in a zoo behind enemy lines during the initial days of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.”

Appian Way joins Noah Media Group and Ghost Robot, with Abramorama handling North American theatrical release rights and Osmosis Global handling worldwide sales. The film’s North American theatrical release will begin in New York City later this summer, with screenings hosted by the director and featuring special guests.

Nepo babies seem to be all the rage in Hollywood right now. You can't swing a stick in this town without hitting someone whose parent is a casting director able to pull some strings to get them a recurring role on a sitcom. Many actors are nepo babies that the general public may be completely unaware of, like Daisy Edgar-Jones having a mother who's a film editor and a father who's an executive for a multimedia company.

It's unclear how much pull the likes of editors, costumers, and set designers have when it comes to getting their family members work in the industry. However, when you're related to a famous director, things suddenly fall into place much more easily. Directors often collaborate closely with the casting department to ensure actors fulfill their visions, and if they feel like it, they can totally give a loved one a part. It may be a small cameo,...

This post contains spoilers for "The White Lotus" season 3.

Can somebody please give Walton Goggin an award for acting almost entirely with his eyes? He did it on last week's episode of "The White Lotus," when his depressed maybe-hitman Rick sat through a stunningly unexpected monologue from an old buddy played by Sam Rockwell. This week, he's back at it again as the season enters its endgame -- which no doubt will have something to do with the man known as Jim Hollinger. Hollinger makes his entrance in an out-of-focus shot at the end of episode 5, and the hour ends with Goggins' almost imperceptibly shaken look.

The big twist here can be readily inferred, though we'll have to wait until next week for the show to confirm or deny it. Rick previously said that he knew hotel owner Sritala's (Patravadi Mejudhon) husband killed his dad when he was on what...

Julia Fox can’t help but shed a tear over the legacy of Pedro Almodóvar’s “All About My Mother” — especially when it comes to her personal history with the Oscar-winning 1999 film starring Penélope Cruz.

Fox, while visiting the Criterion Closet to promote “Presence” which is now on VOD, said that it was “All About My Mother” that showed her how “unconventional beauty” can be accepted.

“Ok, I had an advisor in high school, she was the only reason I went to school. She really had my back. If I didn’t go to class, she would still mark me present. We had a very interesting bond. And she actually lent me a box set of all of his movies. I feel like I’m going to cry,” Fox said. “She lent me a box set of all of his movies…Why am I crying over Pedro Almodóvar? I love Pedro Almodóvar.

These days, it's not easy to keep track of all the different streaming services you may be subscribed to. It can take hours to sift through the libraries on Netflix, Prime Video, or Hulu in search of the best movies you can watch for free. Take, for instance, Paramount+. Since it was launched in its current form in 2021, Paramount+ has been a home for original programming like "Halo" and "Knuckles," as well as content from CBS, Nickelodeon, and Showtime. 

When opening up the platform's Movies section, it's overwhelming to see the spectrum of films and genres to search through. You could watch classics like "The Godfather" or "Forrest Gump," both of which are currently on Paramount+, but what about films you might not easily find on the front page?

The 2003 indie drama "Thirteen" was widely acclaimed upon release while elevating the careers of filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke (who was paid just $13 for the job) and actors Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed. "Thirteen" was lauded for its searing, contemporary depiction of the lives of impressionable American teenagers. For those looking for movies tackling similar subject matter and themes, there is no shortage of teen coming-of-age dramas. From triumphs to tragedies, plenty of movies have explored the everyday life of American teenagers, both preceding "Thirteen" and released in the 2003 film's wake.

From dramedies to tonally uncompromising dramas, those pivotal teenage years are ripe for cinematic exploration. Even the comedies on this coming-of-age list don't shy away from the heavier parts of the teenage experience, including illegal drug use, mental health concerns, and teen pregnancy. Simply put, growing up can be a grueling ordeal, and these movies find the heartbreak and humor...

Isla Fisher is known for bringing her all to comedy roles, but the actress is now crediting her former co-star Kirsten Dunst for teaching her an invaluable trick of the trade: how to act drunk.

Fisher and Dunst co-starred together in 2012 film “Bachelorette,” which was directed by Leslye Headland and adapted from Headland’s off-Broadway show. The dark comedy had an all-star ensemble cast that included Lizzy Caplan, Rebel Wilson, James Marsden, Adam Scott, and Ann Dowd. And while Fisher had famously already played an unhinged character in “Wedding Crashers,” her “Bachelorette” role of an aging alcoholic former high school popular girl had a different level of nuance.

Fisher said during “The Drew Barrymore Show” while promoting “Dog Man” and “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy” that it was Dunst who helped her embody the layers of the character. When asked by host Drew Barrymore which former co-star she learned the most from,...

Originally published in 1918, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ The Land That Time Forgot has inspired multiple adaptations, most notably Kevin Connor’s 1974 film. Now, the story returns to the screen courtesy of The Asylum, who previously tackled the tale in 2009. Can this new adaptation deliver a mix of nostalgia and modern sensibilities, while staying true to the spirit of the original novel?

The movie opens with a tense and chaotic sequence as the crew of a Russian submarine launches a surprise attack on an Australian naval vessel in the Bering Sea. The reasons behind the attack as well as the Aussie’s presence so far from home remain unclear, but the ship is destroyed.

Among the survivors are Lt. Tim Olson, Bradley, and Tyler. They manage...

Sofia Coppola has big plans for the 25th anniversary of her directorial debut “The Virgin Suicides.”

The 2000 feature, which premiered at Cannes, cemented Coppola as the director for young female angst. Kirsten Dunst led the film adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ 1993 novel that centers on the five fictional Lisbon sisters who kill themselves one by one. Kathleen Turner and James Woods play their overprotective, religious parents; Dunst stars as middle sister Lux. The film, despite grossing just under $5 million in the U.S. against a $9 million budget, later became of a cult classic that was synonymous with the melancholic realization that teenage longing and ennui can extend into adulthood.

Coppola told Elle that she and frequent collaborator Dunst have plans to mark the 25th anniversary of “The Virgin Suicides.” (Dunst and Coppola have reunited on features “Marie Antoinette” and “The Beguiled.”)

“I think Kirsten [Dunst] and I will plan to do some screenings or something around it,...

Early last year, Kirsten Dunst joined a group of other highly-skilled actors like Cailee Spaeny and Wagner Moura and ran to the front lines as a photojournalist in Alex Garland’s heavy-hitting drama, Civil War. But, long before she was in the trenches alongside her weary band of photo-taking brothers, she was in a different - but equally harrowing - type of warfare: adolescents. At the turn of the century, Dunst joined ranks with her now frequent collaborator, Sofia Coppola, in the filmmaker’s directorial debut for The Virgin Suicides. The film featured a fun up-and-coming ensemble that, along with Dunst, featured early performances from Josh Hartnett, Hayden Christensen, Giovanni Ribisi, A.J. Cook, and more. Right now, audiences are invited to see one of the quintessential films of the late ‘90s, as The Virgin Suicides is now streaming on Paramount+.
