Francis Ford Coppola’s passion project has picked up French distribution, meaning certain streamers are likely out of the running – but more could still be in with a shot.
Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis distribution saga rumbles on, with the Apocalypse Now director somewhat inexplicably struggling to find a home for his $120m passion project.
Yesterday, we reported that the film had managed to pick up French cinema distribution with Le Pacte – an important milestone, since a French theatrical release is required for a film to screen in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
As Variety points out, though, the Le Pacte deal does mean Netflix are unlikely to still be in the running to buy the film. France has a strict 15-month exclusivity window which prevents a film from heading straight from cinemas onto streaming services. Netflix, which remains a big fan of their simultaneous global release strategy, hasn...

Two years ago, we reported that Saoirse Ronan was due to star in The Outrun, Nora Fingscheidt’s drama based on Amy Liptrot’s memoir. This was before Ronan featured on not one, but two of our magazine covers with her films See How They Run and Foe.

Three time Oscar-nominated scribe John Logan is adapting National Book Award-winning author Cormac McCarthy’s novel Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West for the big screen for New Regency.
John Hillcoat, who previously adapted McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Road, will direct and produce along with Keith Redmon for New Regency.
The sprawling novel is widely considered one of the greatest works of American literature. Published in 1985, Blood Meridian or The Evening Redness in the West is an epic tale of the violence and depravity that attended America’s westward expansion which brilliantly subverts the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the Wild West. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s, it traces the fortunes of a 14-year-old Tennesseean who stumbles into a nightmarish world where Indians are being murdered and the market for their scalps is thriving.

Cillian Murphy capped off his domination of awards season by claiming the top acting prize for film on home soil.
The Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe and SAG award winner on Saturday night added perhaps a final statue to his flawless haul of honors for Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” when he was named best lead actor at the 21st Irish Film and TV Academy Awards.
“God, I’m still so brutal at this,” the famously shy actor said on collecting the award, presented to him by “Killers of the Flower Moon” star and fellow recent awards circuit regular Lily Gladstone. “But being in this room is so special — being at home, with people that I love and admire amongst my fellow nominees and some of my favorite people.” Speaking backstage afterwards at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre, he added: “It feels lovely being home with so many friends and colleagues.”

Becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 and crossing the $1 billion mark, it’s hard to argue that “Barbie” wasn’t one of last year’s most significant cultural cinematic landmarks, even if it missed out at the most recent Oscars. Many actors have revealed they were part of the film, only to be cut, Olivia Colman, Saoirse Ronan, and possibly more, but there was another actually in the movie who didn’t really receive her moment.

She has given outstanding performances in her movies, and the actress selected one of her best intimate scenes on screen. It was with James McAvoy in their film, Atonement. But the X-Men: First Class actor had a different opinion about their passionate lovemaking scene.
The 2007 romance drama was based on Ian McEwan’s novel of the same name. It featured McAvoy and Knightley in lead roles. Saoirse Ronan played an integral part in the movie that was directed by Joe Wright. The film was nominated for multiple Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Ronan.

This post contains spoilers for the movie "Foe."
Garth Davis' 2023 sci-fi film "Foe" is a somber, confusing mess of a film that calls its shots early on, but remains mysterious regardless. It's set in the near future of 2065 when the Earth's natural resources are dwindling. Hen (Saoirse Ronan) and her husband Junior (Paul Mescal) live in a remote family home that has been in Junior's family for generations. The trees around their house have all died and their marriage seems to be on the rocks; they fight and sleep in separate beds. Junior is also wary of visitors, assuming that Hen is having affairs ... which she might have had in the past.
One evening, Junior and Hen are visited by a man named Terrance (Aaron Pierce) whom Hen met years before. Terrance works for a well-moneyed astronautics corporation called OuterMore. OuterMore is planning a grand migration project that would relocate...

Saoirse Ronan has spent much of her youth racking up Oscar nominations, scoring her first bid when she was 13 and her fourth when she was 25. Take a look back at 12 of her greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Ronan’s parents were both actors and she was born in The Bronx, New York while her father was studying acting there and working odd jobs. Her parents returned to their native Ireland when Saoirse was three, where she developed her signature accent. She began acting herself at the age of 9 on a few different Irish television programs.

Colin Farrell has nothing but love for his home country, saying this week that he’s proud of the recent rise in Irish actor success in Hollywood.
“I mean, we punch so far above our weight,” Farrell, a native of Castleknock, Ireland, told Entertainment Tonight. “We’re only a country of 5 million people and I don’t know, Irish people — just whether it’s through music, the written word, whether it’s prose poetry, film, theater of course, we just — we have a deep connection to.”
He added that he feels his fellow countrymen share an appreciation of “the importance of story” and for “leaning into stories and meanings with which we understand ourselves and the world around us.”
Last month, Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy became the first-ever Irish-born actor to win best actor at the Oscars. “I’m a very proud Irishman standing here tonight,” Murphy said from the stage.

Hollywood has a problem. A problem with names. If you are not American, or English (and even that is a problem sometimes), then chances are people have been butchering your name since forever. Irish, Afrikans, Indian, Eastern European, or really, anywhere that is not American, it won’t be a surprise for people to learn that even after decades, some celebrities have been called by names that is not really theirs.

Timothée Chalamet may not have got the part of Marvel’s Spider-Man, but he’s progressing in his career at a pace that Tom Holland can only dream of. With the double success of Wonka and Dune: Part Two, Chalamet has set a box office record after decades. He is the lead in the top two highest-grossing films in the domestic market over the last eight months.

Chalamet’s record is second only to John Travolta’s, who set the record at the peak of his career with the films, Saturday Night Fever and Grease, in 1977-78. The musical film, Wonka, defied expectations and went on to gross $628.5 million, while Dune 2 is closing in on the $500 million mark.

Chalamet’s record is second only to John Travolta’s, who set the record at the peak of his career with the films, Saturday Night Fever and Grease, in 1977-78. The musical film, Wonka, defied expectations and went on to gross $628.5 million, while Dune 2 is closing in on the $500 million mark.

Actor John Travolta’s worldwide fame began when he starred in two cultural paradigm-shifting films: Saturday Night Fever, and Grease. The star achieved a rare feat that few actors had done: staying at the top two spots at the domestic box office within eight months. However, now that record seems to be broken by Timothée Chalamet.
Timothée Chalamet’s starring roles in Wonka and the recent Dune: Part Two have made him a star like no other. The films were at the top spot in their opening weeks and only slightly slowed down with new releases. While Wonka grossed $218 million domestically in its lifetime run, Dune: Part Two currently stands at over $494 million and is only expected to earn more in the coming weeks due to less competition.

Duos are an important part of Hollywood. Chemistry is something that can rarely be fabricated, so when two actors find their on-screen dynamic to be great, they end up sticking to it. Over type time, they end up getting close to each other in real life as well.

This exact phenomenon has led to iconic on-screen pairs like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, Timothée Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, and finally, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

While Timothée Chalamet’s chemistry with Zendaya in Dune: Part Two has had fans rooting for their characters ‘until they breathe’, Chalamet’s best pairing is arguably with Saoirse Ronan. The two actors have played opposite each other in two films by Greta Gerwig, namely Lady Bird and Little Women.
The duo has often claimed that they were best of friends and have shared undeniable chemistry both on and off-screen. Ronan and Chalamet first met on the sets of Lady Bird, which was noted for its coming-of-age themes and nuanced performances from the cast. Chalamet and Ronan were also nominated for Oscars in the same year, though both lost.

St. Patrick’s Day is a time to celebrate Irish culture, history, and of course, to have a bit of fun! To those unfamiliar, March 17th marks the traditional death date of St. Patrick (Ireland’s patron saint). It used to be a religious day to remember him and how Christianity spread in Ireland.

The day is celebrated beyond Ireland as a way to embrace Irish culture. This day offers people a chance to enjoy traditional music, dancing, food, and drinks. Also, wearing green is a big part of it since it’s linked with Ireland.

Since Cillian Murphy just became the first Irish-born actor to win the Best Actor Oscar, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with a list of the most notable Irish actors who have been honored by the Academy with either Oscar gold or a nomination.
1. Cillian Murphy
Murphy has played non-Irish roles so often and so well that some people may not realize or remember that he is Irish. His best Irish films include Breakfast on Pluto and The Wind that Shakes the Barley. And as noted above, he is the first Irish-born actor to take home an Academy Award in the Best Actor category.

Fresh from his Academy Award win for best actor, “Oppenheimer” star Cillian Murphy now has a chance to claim the same honor at his local awards.
The Irish Film and TV Academy (IFTA) has unveiled the nominees for its 2024 awards, with Murphy going up against “Saltburn’s'” Barry Keoghan and “All of Us Strangers” star Andrew Scott in the best actor category. Elsewhere, Jessie Buckley (“Fingernails”) and Saoirse Ronan (“Foe”) are among those nominated for best actress, while Paul Mescal (“All of Us Strangers”) and Kenneth Branagh (“Oppenheimer”) are in the running for best supporting actor.
But it was actually Irish features leading the pack of nominees, with Lisa Mulcahy’s “Lies We Tell” landing 13, followed by “That They May Face the Rising Sun” and “Double Blind.”
The IFTAs ceremony will be take place on April 20 at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre with Irish TV personality Baz Ashmawy on hosting duties.

With the 2024 Oscars in the rearview mirror, it’s time to start looking toward 2025. It’s early, but not too early to start making predictions about what movies might contend for the Oscars next year.
The 97th Academy Awards may wind up dominated by an unusual number of blockbuster sequels to films that won big previously. There are also some period pieces, some comeback vehicles, and some movies that were featured on last year’s list that got held back for this year.
Here are 20 films to know for the 2025 Oscars. Some of them are locks, some of them are long shots, and all of them are worth keeping an eye on throughout 2024 as their Academy Awards chances rise and fall.
“A Real Pain”
One of three films on this list that have screened publicly as of publication time, road dramedy “A Real Pain” was the buzziest title out of Sundance this year.

The prestigious Oscar award has evolved its meaning throughout the years. From recognizing the artistry of actors, directors, and crew members, it has continued to change the face of cinema by becoming the basis of what’s worthy to watch and what’s not.
In fact, there are many binge-watch-worthy films out there that have never won a single award, and yet fans love them so much that they watch these movies every chance they get. Indeed, you’ll be shocked to know that these popular crowd-favorite movies have never taken home a single Oscar!

Martin Scorsese’s gritty neo-noir psychological thriller movie, starring Robert De Niro as the unstable New York cabbie, was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress for Jodie Foster, and Best Original Score. Unfortunately, it took home nothing.

Prior to making headlines the next day after a short-lived health scare that required a brief stay in hospital, Ireland’s President Michael D. Higgins arrived at Dublin’s Complex arts center last Wednesday to present the Dublin film festival’s highest honor to Steve McQueen. Introduced in 2007 and named the Volta Award, after the first commercial cinema set up in Dublin in 1909 by writer James Joyce, its previous recipients include Daniel Day Lewis, Claudia Cardinale and Al Pacino. The famously serious director was in high spirits, enthusing that “festivals are about passion, a passion for film.” “There’s always a buzz, isn’t there?” he continued. “[As you] go to the next picture, the next film, you tend to give people tips and say, ‘Oh, you’ve got to see this, you’ve got to see that…’”

Timothée Chalamet is by far one of the most promising young actors working in Hollywood today, after his standout performances in films like Call Me By Your Name, Little Women, and Dune. The actor has become one of the biggest stars in the film industry and after his recent performance as Duke Paul Atreides in Dune: Part Two, he is sure to become a household name worldwide. So, if you love Chalamet’s performances here are the best movies Chalamet has appeared in and just to warn you, we didn’t include Interstellar in this list because Chalamet’s role in Christopher Nolan was not that big or significant.

There are few stars of his age who generate as much foaming at the mouth celebrity obsession as Timothée Chalamet. Ever since the one-two punch of “Lady Bird” and “Call Me By Your Name” arrived in 2017, the young actor has been the darling of social media fan accounts fawning over his signature long black hair and delicate, porcelain features. It’s made him the archetypal onscreen heartthrob of his generation and garnered him those pesky Leonardo DiCaprio comparisons that have lingered over the course of his career.
Does that online thirst translate into being a movie star? That’s a question that various outlets have tried to unpack over the course of Chalamet’s career with varying degrees of success. He certainly has the chops for it: beyond his pretty, pretty face, Chalamet has a sensitive onscreen presence that can be played straight — as in “Call Me By Your Name,...

Kirsten Niehuus, head of German film fund Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, is confident that the changes to film funding proposed by the German government recently will have a “very positive effect on the production scene in Berlin-Brandenburg.”
The proposed changes to the funding system were presented last week to German lawmakers in the Bundestag by commissioner for culture and media Claudia Roth (see here).
Kirsten Niehuus, Martin Moszkowicz
Speaking to Variety Saturday at a party Medienboard hosted at Berlin’s Holzmarkt, Niehuus said the changes “will mean that we would have a tax system in place that could compete, for instance, with Budapest or Prague, so that not so many German productions would go and shoot somewhere else, and more foreign productions would come and shoot in Germany.”
Looking at the media landscape across Germany she notes that one major challenge is the decision by high-end outlets such as Paramount+, HBO and Sky to cancel local productions,...

Saoirse Ronan's partner Jack Lowden recommended her latest movie role to her.Jack, 33, had read Amy Liptrot’s book 'The Outrun' and recommended it to Saoirse, 29, during the Covid 19 lockdown, explaining he thought it would be a perfect role for her.Saoirse - who stars in and produced the movie - told The Hollywood Reporter: "It was Jack Lowden, who produced as well, who introduced it to me. He’s a very proud Scot and he had spent a bit of time up in the Orkney Islands. Whenever he goes to a new place, he tries to read a book by a writer from that place if he can. So, he had already fallen in love with The Outrun, and when we were in lockdown — going through books because we had all the time in the world — he recommended I read it. "He said,'“This...

While filming The Outrun, Saoirse Ronan delivered lambs, swam with seals and communed with her fair share of flora and fauna.
The four-time Oscar nominee plays Rona, a young woman who leaves London and returns to her small hometown on Scotland’s Orkney Islands as she charts her course to sobriety while experiencing all the harsh realities and natural wonders that a tiny, wind-swept isle off the coast of Scotland has to offer.
The film, directed by German helmer Nora Fingscheidt (System Crasher) and based on the Amy Liptrot novel of the same name, will screen in Berlin following its premiere at Sundance, where it garnered rave reviews (THR’s David Rooney observed that Ronan “puts herself through the physical and emotional wringer”). Ahead of the film’s Berlin bow, Ronan talked to THR about why she connected with Liptrot’s book, the advantages of also producing the project and...

“The Outrun,” the adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s deeply raw and lyrical 2016 memoir about addiction, recovery and nature, premiered in Sundance this year to stellar reviews, with many awards prophets already suggesting that the film could take Saoirse Ronan — who stars in and produces the film — back to the Oscars in 2025.
For producer Sarah Brocklehurst, the Sundance premiere also marked something of an enjoyable full circle, landing almost five years to the day after the Sundance 2019 debut of “Animals.” The film, which screens at the Berlin Film Festival, also marks the first feature from her Brock Media banner.
“Animals,” based on Emma Jane Unsworth’s novel about hedonism and friendship (described as a “Withnail for Girls”) and starring Holliday Grainger and Alia Shawkat, may not have been Brocklehurst’s debut film (that was 2012’s “Black Pond”), but she claims it was a career game-changer. “It proved to myself and probably...

British actress Helen Mirren is a Hollywood veteran who has been in the industry for over six decades. She has won numerous accolades throughout her career but is the only performer to have achieved both the American and the British Triple Crowns of Acting. Although she is a beloved British actress, she also has the honorary status of America’s Sweetheart.
Primarily known for her excellent work as an actress, Helen Mirren is also adored for her ability to make fun of the regal presence she brings to the screen. The actress had an off-screen role in Greta Gerwig’s box-office mammoth Barbie. She recently revealed that she almost appeared in person in the movie in a hilarious scene with Olivia Colman.

In addition to all of the Barbies and Kens who lived in Barbieland, there was also Allan, who happened to be Ken’s best friend, played by Michael Cera. Allan also had his moments, such as the scene where he battled the construction workers in Barbieland’s entrance. Curiously, though, Cera revealed that this was not the original concept for that particular fight scene.
Ben Affleck was supposed to make a cameo appearance in the movie and thus had to fight the construction workers, according to the 39-year-old Ontario-born actor. Unfortunately, the former couldn’t take on the role in Barbie due to his commitment to the biographical sports drama film Air.
This gave Cera’s Allan the opportunity to show off his fighting prowess. But had Affleck been available to play the role, the scene would have been drastically altered.
