British director Christopher Nolan, who won a Best Director Oscar this month for Oppenheimer, will receive a knighthood. His wife, movie producer Emma Thomas, is to receive a damehood. The UK government said the pair were being honoured for their services to film. The film about the father of the atomic bomb swept the board at the 2024 ceremony, picking up seven prizes in total – including Best Film. Nolan had previously been nominated for five Academy Awards prior to Oppenheimer, but had never won an Oscar until this year's ceremony. News of their honours came as a surprise, because they are ...

It’s happening... And this is a pre-emptive warning. Seven months after its Out of Competition world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Roman Polanski’s latest film The Palace has been acquired by a French distribution company – with a release date set for 15 May. "No one wanted the film," said Sébastien Tiveyrat, head of Swashbuckler Films, which specialises in heritage films. "I'm only interested in cinema, not anything else,” added Tiveyrat, who admitted to Variety that he hasn’t even seen the film but is convinced it will be successful in France where Polanski’s films have traditionally...

The series’ producer Jerry Bruckheimer has said that he plans to “reboot” the $4.5 billion (€4.2 billion) franchise in an interview with ComicBook.com and alluded to not relying on the return of controversial actor Johnny Depp as lead character Captain Jack Sparrow. The 80-year-old producer was asked about a new Pirates film alongside a third film in another of his mega successes, Top Gun. “You just don’t know,” Bruckheimer said. “Because with Top Gun yo...

The famous Titanic floating door that kept Rose (Kate Winslet) afloat but left Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) in a fatefully chilly predicament has been sold at auction for a hefty price.

Los Angeles (AFP) - The Golden Globes has inked a five-year broadcast deal with a US TV network, organizers said Monday, after a troubled few years for the awards show. A new deal will see the gala -- a major staging post for movies on the way to the Oscars -- airing on CBS, and livestreamed on Paramount+, starting next year. The agreement solidifies a turnaround for the annual Tinseltown gathering, which was taken off air entirely in 2022 after long-simmering rumors of corruption and scandal burst into the open. CBS carried this year's Globes, reportedly at a steeply discounted rate, which ea...

Australian actress and comedian Rebel Wilson, best known for her roles in Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids and Jojo Rabbit, has written a chapter in her upcoming book about "a massive asshole" she had previously worked with in Hollywood - though she did not reveal the person's identity. Until now. She claimed that British actor Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G Indahouse, Borat, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street) is trying to “threaten” her. This comes after Wilson described him in her upcoming memoir, “Rebel Rising”, as an “asshole” that led her to adopt a “no-assholes policy”. Wilson previousl...

The seventh film in the Alien franchise – if you don’t count the two Alien vs. Predator crossover films - is creeping nearer, and the release of a new teaser trailer has got us all hot and bothered. More accurately, worried about sphincter control. The visceral looking Alien: Romulus looks like a back-to-basics / fight for survival approach for the Alien franchise, and the teaser will have you covering your mouths. There’s that familiar siren noise in the background; an eerie tracking shot descending into bloodied pods; facehuggers horde-leaping; the sight of someone apparently pulling somethi...

Los Angeles (AFP) - "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" scared its way to the top of the North American box office this weekend, taking in an estimated $45.2 million in what one analyst called a "unique and impressive opening." "Only four other comedic series in the last 27 years have lasted five episodes," analyst David A. Gross said, with ticket sales for the latest entry in Sony's comedy series coming in "well above average for the genre." Still, with a $100 million budget, "Frozen Empire" has a way to go to reach profitability. Co-written by Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the ...
