You can now mark your calendars for when you’re able to see the finest film of 2024. Bertrand Bonello’s ambitious, time-hopping Lynchian sci-fi epic The Beast has now been set for an April 5, 2024 U.S. release by Sideshow and Janus Films. Along with the announcement, they’ve unveiled a harrowing Léa Seydoux-centered teaser which also unveils the title treatment and release date––and, in perhaps a winking touch, features a line of dialogue that matches the title of the best undistributed film of last year.
Here’s the synopsis: “In the near future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme, human emotions have become a threat. To get rid of them, Gabrielle must purify her DNA by going back into her past lives. There, she reunites with Louis, her great love. But she is overcome by fear, a premonition that catastrophe is on the way.”

Another year, another “strange time” for festivals. And yet, despite a pair of on-going strikes and an entertainment world that seems hellbent on remaining in flux, as the air turns chillier, it’s still time for the laurels to come out, and there are plenty of new films to get excited about seeing soon.
This year’s fall festival season includes new films from Hayao Miyazaki, Michael Mann, David Fincher, Ellen Kurras, Yorgos Lanthimos, Errol Morris, Pablo Larraín, Kitty Green, Andrew Haigh, Harmony Korine, and Anna Kendrick, and that’s only the start. There are films about everything from vampiric dictators to (actual) dicks, dumb money to stupid dreams, true stories of courage to fake stories of Nicolas Cage invading people’s minds, at least one very big suit, and so very much more.
And while a handful of films have opted to skip out on the festivals, like the...

"...the story is set in the near future, where emotions have become a threat. A woman, 'Gabrielle' (Seydoux), finally decides to purify her 'DNA' in a machine that will plunge her into her past lives and rid her of all strong feelings.

Exclusive: There has been mystery for weeks over which Hollywood talent will attend the Venice Film Festival amid the two strikes but the clouds are finally starting to lift.
We’ve confirmed with sources that Ferrari star Adam Driver will be on the Lido next week to promote Michael Mann’s anticipated new movie, thus becoming the biggest U.S. actor to date to commit to the festival. The Daily Mail first reported that news.
Ferrari secured an interim agreement from SAG a while back so this isn’t hugely surprising but there was still a question over whether SAG actors would feel uncomfortable over the ‘optics’. They may still. But SAG-AFTRA leadership were adamant yesterday that actors in movies with interim agreements should be at festivals to promote them. Their message: this is helpful to independent cinema and the cause. That affirmation from SAG helped a number of actors make up their minds.

Yorgos Lanthimos goes more surreal than ever, Adam Driver pulls on Ferrari’s racing gloves and Polish auteurs get political in this year’s lineup
Poor Things
Yorgos Lanthimos has created one of the hottest tickets at Venice this year: a surreal science-fantasy based on the novel by Alasdair Gray. Emma Stone plays Bella, a young woman apparently brought back to life by hubristic scientist Dr Godwin Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe.
Hoard
British director Luna Carmoon makes her feature debut at Venice with this fiercely acted and compelling character study. Saura Lightfoot Leon plays Maria, a young woman who has grown up in care after a difficult relationship with her mother, played by Hayley Squires.
The Beast
A very strange and sensually disturbing disquisition with hints of Huxley and Ballard, about the past, present and future of humanity, on the point of being deconstructed by artificial intelligence. Léa Seydoux...

One of the most buzzed-about international movies of the fall festival circuit, Bertrand Bonello’s “The Beast,” has already lured several distributors ahead of its world premiere in competition at Venice.
Represented by Kinology, the dystopian romance is headlined by Léa Seydoux (“Crimes of the Future”) and George MacKay (“1917”) as star-crossed lovers.
The gripping film, which marks Bonello’s most ambitious to date, is set in a near future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme and human emotions have become a threat. Gabrielle (Seydoux), a woman haunted by an irrational fear, is being told that she must purify her DNA to heal from past traumas in order to get a proper job. Through the process, Gabrielle revisits past lives and immerses herself in buried memories from 1910 and 2014, where she reunites with Louis (MacKay), her great love. While their bond has transcended lifetimes and eras, it’s also at the root of...

The Venice Film Festival, known officially in Italian as Mostra Internazionale d'Arte Cinematografica della Biennale di Venezia, has officially announced its selection of films playing at the historic film festival in 2023. Celebrating their 80th year (the oldest film festival in the world), Venezia 2023 is returning with strong line-up and great selection of films from around the world. Venice 2023 runs from August 30th to September 9th in just a few months. The biggest highlights are a bountiful line-up of competition films: David Fincher's The Killer, Michel Franco's Memory, Yorgos Lanthimos's Poor Things (watch the trailer), Ava DuVernay's Origin (!!), Matteo Garrone's Io Capitano, Bertrand Bonello's The Beast, Pablo Larrain's El Conde, Michael Mann's Ferrari. And, of course, plenty of other films to encounter when they premiere on the Lido in Venice in a few months. I'll be back again as always for this fall festival.

Lido red carpets may be star-deprived this year, but that didn’t stop the Venice Film Festival from arranging a gorgeous constellation of new movies from supernova directors. (The full lineup is here.)
The SAG-AFTRA strike work stoppage means, of course, that competition directors like Yorgos Lanthimos (“Poor Things”), David Fincher (“The Killer”), Sofia Coppola (“Priscilla”), Ava DuVernay, Saverio Costanzo (“Finalmente L’Alba”), and Michel Franco (“Memory”) will have to do the talking at press conferences and attend step-and-repeats without their actors, if they’re willing. It’s tricky for multihyphenates like Bradley Cooper, who directs and stars as Leonard Bernstein in Netflix’s “Maestro;” IndieWire hears he will sit this festival out.
Among the Venice film stars who will not be waving to the paparazzi from water taxis are Emma Stone, Margaret Qualley, Carey Mulligan, Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton, Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, Jacob Elordi, Aunjanue Ellis, Lily James, Joe Keery,...

When the actors strike was called earlier this month, many industry eyes turned to the fall festival season and how SAG-AFTRA’s strict rules when it comes to film publicity might limit their star-power.
With the Venice Film Festival being the first major event on the calendar, would the Lido — typically awash with A-list names each year and where the screams for Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles from the 2022 festival have only just died down — see a noticeably reduced red carpet?
For all the worry that the actual lineup of the festival — which has become arguably one of Hollywood’s most important awards season launchpads — would be impacted, Tuesday’s program announcement instantly put that to bed.
While Challengers, the R-rated Luca Guadagnino drama starring Zendaya, was last week revealed to have been pushed from its Venice opening night slot as Warner Bros. shifted its release date to 2024 to avoid the strike,...

The Venice Film Festival sails on in Italy — even with much of Hollywood at a standstill.
The annual cinema celebration hosted by La Biennale di Venezia and directed by Alberto Barbera runs from August 30 through September 9. Despite already having lost Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” from its opening night slot due to its SAG-AFTRA talent including star Zendaya being unable to accompany the world premiere due to strike work stoppage orders, Venice has plenty of movie goodness in store for its 80th edition.
Competition highlights include Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” David Fincher’s “The Killer,” Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things,” Ava DuVernay’s “Origin,” Luc Besson’s “Dogman,” Michel Franco’s “Memory,” Pablo Larrain’s “El Conde,” and many more. Out of competition, Venice will screen new films from Harmony Korine, Richard Linklater, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Roman Polanski, and William Friedkin.

Competition highlights include Bradley Cooper’s “Maestro,” Sofia Coppola’s “Priscilla,” David Fincher’s “The Killer,” Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things,” Ava DuVernay’s “Origin,” Luc Besson’s “Dogman,” Michel Franco’s “Memory,” Pablo Larrain’s “El Conde,” and many more. Out of competition, Venice will screen new films from Harmony Korine, Richard Linklater, Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Roman Polanski, and William Friedkin.

Two movies whose directors are likely to draw protests, Woody Allen’s French-language “Coup de Chance” and Roman Polanski’s “The Palace,” will make their world premieres at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera and La Biennale di Venezia president Roberto Cicutto announced at a Tuesday morning press conference.
Both films will screen out of competition, though they’ll likely draw an inordinate amount of attention at a festival that has assembled a robust lineup of major filmmakers even as it struggles with the effects of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
Films booked for the Venice main competition include Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro”; Yorgos Lanthimos’ sci-fi drama “Poor Things”; Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla Presley film “Priscilla”; Michael Mann’s auto-racing film “Ferrari”; Ava DuVernay’s “Origin,” with Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Niecy Nash-Betts and Vera Farmiga; and David Fincher’s “The Killer,” with Michael Fassbender.

New films by top U.S. directors including David Fincher, Sofia Coppola, Ava DuVernay, Michael Mann, Bradley Cooper and Wes Anderson will be launching from the Venice Film Festival alongside a robust roster of European, Latin American and Asian auteurs, in a clear sign that disruption caused by two ongoing labor strikes in Hollywood is less than some expected.
Though Venice was forced a few days ago to pull its originally planned opener, Zendaya-starrer “Challengers,” due to promotional complications from the SAG-AFTRA strike, the fest’s complete lineup, announced on Tuesday, has certainly not suffered a mass exodus of Hollywood titles. On the contrary, the Lido’s firepower as an awards season pistol seems to have outgunned the probable scarcity of stars that will be on the red carpet for U.S. films, though even this aspect remains to be seen.

Given the chaos wrought by the SAG-AFTRA strike, Toronto has just announced a surprisingly strong first-wave lineup.
In recent days, festival regulars have been apprehensive about the prospects of starry English-language movies making it to Venice, Toronto and Telluride, especially after the blow Venice was dealt last week when Zendaya starrer Challengers pulled out of its opening slot and moved to a spring 2024 release.
Despite the challenges, TIFF’s Cameron Bailey has managed to pull in an impressive lineup of potential awards contenders and acquisition titles. Among the lineup are Emily Blunt starrer Pain Hustlers, Sony’s Dumb Money, Chris Pine’s directorial debut Poolman, Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers, Anthony Hopkins starrer One Life, Kate Winslet drama Lee, and plenty others. This is in addition to some strong arthouse debuts such as Ladj Ly’s new movie and a handful of Cannes holdovers including Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone Of Interest...

In the game of showbiz, sometimes, even if the biz is breaking down, the show must go on. The Toronto International Film Festival is still scheduled to kick off even if the bevy of guests are not able to make appearances due to actors forbidden to promote their films during the SAG-AFTRA strike. TIFF will not be the only event weathering this challenge should the strike continue this festival season.
Regardless of the unrest in Hollywood, the Toronto International Film Festival has just released the list of movies set to screen this year. According to IndieWire, the lineup of films includes many that have yet to premiere in any capacity, making TIFF the first time it will be available to audiences.

All film festivals face a challenged season ahead as most onscreen talent will be forced to sit this one out due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Just last week, MGM and Luca Guadagnino yanked “Challengers” from the Venice opening night slot and shifted the movie entirely to April of next year.
But the Toronto International Film Festival forges ahead with a nevertheless starry lineup this year of 60 films across the Galas and Special Presentations sections, as announced Monday morning. The festival has not made an opening night selection but has so far also programmed Taika Waititi’s “Next Goal Wins” and Ladj Ly’s “Les Indésirables.”
Among the world premieres are Ellen Kuras’ “Lee,” starring Kate Winslet as war photographer Lee Miller and Andy Samberg as Life Magazine photographer David E. Scherman; Viggo Mortensen’s directorial effort “The Dead Don’t Hurt,” a Western starring himself and Vicky Krieps; Craig Gillespie...

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been reporting on a new Joachim Lafosse project. With an October production start date just around the corner, and now thanks to the socials, we learned that the first thesp to board Les petits voleurs will be Guslagie Malanda. The actress who began her career with 2014’s Mon Amie Victoria by Jean-Paul Civeyrac, and who waited for her big break with the outstanding performance in 2022’s Saint Omer is now on top of casting director lists.
Lafosse will premiere A Silence (Un silence) at the upcoming Donostia-San Sebastián, while Malanda should be returning to Venice (and possibly hitting Toronto) with Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast — the film’s selection should be confirmed tomorrow and or on Tuesday.…...

Kinology has boarded Quentin Dupieux’s (“Rubber”) ferocious comedy “Yannick” which will world premiere in competition at the Locarno Film Festival.
The anticipated film is produced by Thomas et Mathieu Verhaeghe at Atelier de production, and Hugo Selignac at Chi-Fou-Mi Productions. “Yannick” stars Raphaël Quenard, Pio Marmaï, Blanche Gardin and Sébastien Chassagne.
Yannick” unfolds during a mediocre stage performance of “Le Cocu” during which an audience member revolts and takes the full reins of the room.
“‘Yannick’ is Quentin Dupieux’s most mature film; it’s both melancholic and thoughtful,” said Gregoire Melin, Kinology’s founder and president. “We’re so excited to be reteaming with him after ‘Daaaaaali!’ and ‘Wrong’ on this new film which could become even more cult than his previous movies,” Melin continued.

Three days after a barbarous playground attack left the lakeside town in grief and shock, and in an amphitheater facing the public park where the tragedy occurred, the Annecy Intl. Animation Festival inaugurated this year’s edition with a show of solidarity and communal defiance.
“In response to barbarity, this festival will hold up creativity and artistic perspective,” said event organizer Dominique Puthod as he addressed the lively crowd. “You will bring color and wonder to the eyes of young and old alike, on bruised and battered paper, as a tribute to life.”
“The best response to this tragedy is to live even more forcefully and more intensely,” added Annecy mayor François Astorg. “With this conviction art and culture celebrates life, and enables us to change the world to make it a better place.”

From "Making a Murderer," to the trend-setting "Tiger King," to the 2020 revival of "Unsolved Mysteries" (and its sometimes-questionable relationship with mental health), Netflix has become home to many a true crime documentary series. The latest, "Missing: Dead or Alive?," hit the streamer earlier this month, and it's been burning up the Netflix Top 10 recently with an approach that's more cinematic -- though whether that pays off is another question entirely.
According to Netflix's own stats, the series was watched for a total of 15.29 million hours during the week of May 15-May 21,2023. To give a bit more context to that otherwise largely useless metric, there are four episodes in total with a runtime of 3 hours, so if everyone who watched the series saw it through to the end, that means "Missing: Dead Or Alive" has been viewed by at least 5 million people.

Exclusive: French actress Guslagie Malanda has signed with Anonymous Content for management, on the heels of a career-elevating awards run with the acclaimed Alice Diop film, Saint Omer.
The French legal drama, billed as a contemporary version of the Medea myth, premiered to rave reviews at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, where it won the Silver Lion Grand Jury Prize, as well as the Luigi De Laurentiis Lion of the Future Award for Best Debut Feature, before going on to be named as France’s 2023 submission for the Best International Feature Oscar.

It’s hard enough living in an inhospitable climate without also having to deal with a giant, man-eating lizard. Yet in The Beast Below (originally titled Leio: The Terrible Giant), that’s exactly what the unaware characters have to look forward to as they search for water in the desert. This new monster movie, one of several “Thaiju” flicks to come out in the last year, is more an exercise in visual effects than it is a vehicle for creative storytelling or character work, however director Chalit Krileadmongkon still manages to dig up surface-level entertainment.
In The Beast Below, defamed musician Kao (Pichaya Nitipaisalkul) returns to his childhood home in the Loei province upon learning of his grandfather’s recent passing. Kao hasn’t been back in years, and his childhood friend Fon (Dhanantorn Neerasingh), a successful influencer, reminds him of that fact as she attends the funeral. Fon then...

Hollywood star Idris Elba hopes fans can “see themselves” in his new movie ‘The Beast’. Starring as recently widowed Dr. Nate Samuels who visits a South African game reserve with his two teenage daughters and the trio must fight to survive when stalked by a lion, the 50-year-old actor explained that he wants audiences to “relate” to the survival thriller, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“There’s definitely a lot of ingredients in this film, it’s a genre film, it’s popcorn and it’s designed to thrill. But at the same time, we want to add a layer that you care about.
“In some of these films, you have to have characters that you can relate to and care about and see a little bit of yourself within so that you care whether they get away from the beast or not and that is part of the c,” he said,...

(This article contains spoilers for 2021’s No Time to Die. So reader beware if you haven’t seen Daniel Craig’s last outing.)
Actress Léa Seydoux, who played James Bond’s baby mama Madeleine Swann in the last two James Bond outings, Spectre and No Time to Die, has cheekily suggested her character should return for Bond 26.
In an interview with Deadline at the Telluride Film Festival, Léa Seydoux reasoned her return. “After all I’m not dead…It was James who died, not Madeleine. So, who knows? Maybe I’ll be back…If we’re serious for a moment, Madeleine drives away with her daughter right at the end because James has saved them. There’ll be a new Bond because Daniel’s Bond died but who’s to say that Madeleine won’t be back?”
While viewers would certainly welcome Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine Swann back for Bond 26,...

Director Kevin Reynolds’ graphic, gritty desert combat movie is about a lost tank in the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. Besides being 98 an unpleasant downer, it now reminds us that we got into the exact same fix just a decade after the Russkis threw in the towel. Cruel Russki soldiers commit atrocities against vengeful Moujahedin resistance, and there’s really nobody to root for. George Dzundza, Jason Patric, Steven Bauer and Stephen Baldwin endure a rough ordeal out in the dirt, hoping for the next war movie breakthrough hit.
