Amid a generally positive market the familiar gripe of high asking prices has sent a clear message that buyers and sellers are finding it increasingly tough to reconcile their respective financial models.
The tension remains particularly acute on A-list market packages, where independent producers have fought (and paid) to attract and hold on to talent in a post-strike world where hefty offers from studios and streamers, driven by talent agents, have been hard to resist.
The ripple effect has forced sales agents to push up their asks in order to recoup financiers’ investments. Sales estimates set more than a year ago,...

It really does seem like legendary Australian filmmaker George Miller cannot miss his major projects. It really does. The visionary is the one who provided us with the Mad Max franchise, a cult classic series that initially starred Mel Gibson in the titular role before he was replaced by Tom Hardy in Fury Road. The latter is also known for introducing Furiosa, initially played by Charlize Theron, a character so popular that Miller decided to make a prequel, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which premieres globally next week but has had its Cannes premiere only recently. Anya Taylor-Joy leads the movie, and based on the reaction at Cannes, Miller will have another major hit!
Furiosa is set to be released in theaters on May 23, 2024, which is next week, but the Cannes premiere came this week in Cannes, where it was screened as an out-of-competition feature, and the reactions were great!

Brendan Fraser has called the Golden Globes award a “hood ornament” that “means nothing to me”.
This year, the 54-year-old actor was nominated for Best Actor in a motion picture drama for his performance in Darren Aronofsky’s The Whale.
Austin Butler ended up winning the award for his performance in Elvis.
In a new interview with Howard Stern, Fraser said Butler’s Globes win for Elvis was “well deserved” and a “big win for him”.
He added that he had no interest in winning the prize himself.
“I found myself wondering is this a cynical nomination,” Fraser said. “I couldn’t really tell because of my history with them and that I still have yet to see the results from their reformation. We all are still awaiting that, to tell you the truth... What does matter is that it would mean nothing to me. I don’t want it.

Seth Rogen has admitted he was “incredibly intimidated” by the idea of working with Charlize Theron.
The actor, 40, made the comments while speaking at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Breakfast.
As he took to the stage to present the Sherry Lansing Leadership award to Theron, who he starred with in the 2019 comedy Long Shot, he said: “[I was] incredibly intimidated to work with her, not just because of how talented she is.
“I was literally physically intimidated to be around her, because she murders people in every movie she does.”
He also joked that even though their “movie bombed”, they still “stayed friends”.
“I’m so glad we get to keep hanging out because Charlize is fun. She is a fun person to hang out with, maybe too fun at times,” Rogen added.

Adam Sandler has claimed that Brendan Fraser’s award-nominated role in George of the Jungle made Sandler “feel bad about” himself.
Fraser, who appeared alongside Sandler and Steve Buscemi in the 1994 musical comedy Airheads, played the titular character of George in the 1997 family comedy.
Sitting down together in conversation for Variety Studio’s newest episode of Actors on Actors, Sandler recalled the American-Canadian star leaving Airheads and going on to get “very jacked for George of the Jungle”.
“I was disappointed how good you looked in that. You weren’t supposed to do that to us,” the Hustle actor joked. “You were supposed to remain like us.”
Responding to Sandler, Fraser said: “The wardrobe was... there was no wardrobe. George wears a loincloth.”
“You did right by the character. But you did wrong by us, man. You made us feel bad about ourselves,” Sandler further quipped, before questioning if Fraser...

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson have reflected on the 14-minute standing ovation that their new film, The Banshees of Inisherin, received at the Venice Film Festival in September.
The black comedy, which sees the two actors reunite with their In Bruges writer-director Martin McDonagh, follows two men whose life-long friendship is abruptly ended.
Speaking on tonight’s episode of The Graham Norton Show (14 October), Farrell said of the standing ovation: “It was a long time and I’ve never experienced anything like it in 20 years of doing this racket. You stand there like a pillock as it was a bit embarrassing, but it was amazing.”
Gleeson added: “It was excruciating but it really was an appreciative thing from the heart, there was real love of the film in the room. The audience wasn’t remotely embarrassed and they were having a great time so we had a great time with them.

Brendan Fraser was once again moved to tears by the response to his performance in Darren Aronofsky’s new movie, The Whale.
The actor previously went viral after his emotional response to the film’s six-minute standing ovation at Venice Film Festival was caught on camera.
The once-forgotten star plays a 600-pound gay man confined to a wheelchair in the drama alongside Stranger Things actor Sadie Sink.
Following a Tuesday (11 October) screening at London Film Festival, media people in attendance raved about Fraser’s turn in the film, which officially releases in December.
Hours later, videos emerged on social media of Fraser, who was in attendance at the screening alongside director Aronofsky, bowing on stage to a rapturous standing ovation from the audience.
Just as in Venice, Fraser appeared emotional and overwhelmed by the crowd’s adulation.
“Am I at Venice? 5 min standing ovation for Brendan Fraser’s masterpiece performance in #TheWhale.

The Whale aired at London Film Festival on Tuesday (11 October), meaning some members of the media were able to see Darren Aronofsky’s drama ahead of its December release.
At its international premiere at Venice Film Festival in September, Brendan Fraser received a rapturous standing ovation for his lead role as a 600-pound gay man confined to a wheelchair.
After the London screening, British members of the press, too, are heaping praise on the long-forgotten actor for his performance.
“Brendan Fraser in The Whale. Believe The Hype,” podcaster Sam Meltzer wrote on Twitter. “Ladies and gentlemen, That is how you win an Academy Award. F***.”
Digital Spy editor Gabriella Geisinger wrote: “The Whale – my absolute god. I feel like I’ve been punched in the stomach! What a formidable piece of filmmaking.”

Olivia Wilde’s stylist appears to have waded into the drama surrounding her director client and actor Florence Pugh.
Don’t Worry Darling premiered out of Venice Film Festival last night (5 September), receiving mixed reviews from critics.
The psychological thriller has been plagued by reports of behind-the-scenes tension, including a rumoured “falling out” between Wilde and Pugh, who plays the film’s lead.
Karla Welch, a Los Angeles-based stylist who frequently works with Wilde, has now shared a story on Instagram that appears to be a reference to the speculation.
“There’s always more to the story…” the stylist wrote, at the same time that reporting on the rumoured feud was escalating after Wilde addressed “gossip” during a press conference for the film, which Pugh was not present for.

Harry Styles delighted audience members at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Don’t Worry Darling by planting a big kiss on his co-star Nick Kroll.
Olvia Wilde’s sci-fi starring Styles and Florence Pugh as the leads received a vivacious, five-minute standing ovation at the festival, which is known for giving long applauses after screenings.
Variety’s Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh was in attendance and captured the moment that Styles kissed Kroll as the cast were leaving the cinema.
The video shows the former One Direction star grip Kroll on either side of his head before pulling him in for a kiss, leading to screams and applause from the crowd.
The pair then laugh together before walking off in an embrace.
Despite the warm Venician reception, Don’t Worry Darling has so far received middling reviews at best with critics nonetheless praising Pugh’s performance for its intensity while criticising Styles’ for its lack of energy.

Olivia Wilde’s new film Don’t Worry Darling has premiered at the Venice Film Festival – and the first reviews are now in.
The film, Wilde’s second directorial feature after the acclaimed teen comedy Booksmart, is a sci-fi thriller starring Florence Pugh and Harry Styles.
In a three-star review for The Independent, Geoffrey Macnab writes: “This isn’t the disaster that some predicted – but it is a messy, convoluted affair with some very contrived plotting. Styles gives a surprisingly dull and low-wattage performance as Jack. To be fair, he is playing a very dull character, a kind of Stepford husband.”
Later in the review, he writes: “Don’t Worry Darling is beautifully shot by cinematographer Matthew Libatique.
“It has immaculate production and costume design. Beneath its polished, very stylish outer sheen, though, it’s as hollow as the lives of its pampered but empty-headed protagonists.”
Elsewhere, verdicts on the film have been similarly reserved,...

The reviews are in for Don’t Worry Darling – and Harry Styles might want to look away.
The critical reception for Olivia Wilde’s upcoming sci-fi thriller, which stars Styles opposite Florence Pugh, has ranged from middling to poor, while the social media frenzy surrounding it has been captivating.
However, reporters have heaped praise on Pugh for her turn as Alice, a “1950s housewife living with her husband [Styles] in a utopian experimental community”.
While Pugh’s performance has been lauded, Styles’ performance as Jack has been labelled everything from “robotic” to “wooden”.
“Styles lacks charisma,” Geoffrey Macnab writes for The Independent in his three-star review.
“Jack is a one-dimensional figure, and the One Direction star fails to give him any hidden depth. Pugh is easily the film’s most vivid and compelling personality. She plays Alice in such fiery fashion that most other characters seem robotic by comparison.”

The actor made the comment while appearing on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival premiere of her new film Don’t Worry Darling.
Directed by Booksmart’s Olivia Wilde, Don’t Worry Darling stars Pugh alongside Harry Styles. The film has been plagued by reports of behind-the-scenes drama, including a rumoured “falling out” between Pugh and Wilde.
Wilde was asked about the rumours at a press conference earlier in the day. “I can’t say enough how honoured I am to have her as our lead,” she responded. “She’s amazing in the film and as for all the endless tabloid gossip and all the noise out there, I mean, the internet feeds itself. I don’t feel the need to contribute, I think it’s sufficiently well nourished.”

Olivia Wilde has addressed whether there has been a “falling out” between herself and Florence Pugh.
The director answered the question from a journalist during the Don’t Worry Darling press conference at the Venice International Film Festival.
Wilde was in attendance alongside stars Harry Styles, Gemma Chan, and Chris Pine. Its lead actor, Pugh, however, was absent.
News that Pugh would not be attending the panel came amid reports of a feud between herself and Wilde that have been ongoing since earlier this year.
“Can you just clear the air and address whether there has been a falling out there and if so why, because it’s something that people are discussing?” one reporter asked Wilde during the conference.
The director responded: “Florence is a force and we are so grateful that she is able to make it tonight despite being in production on Dune. I know as a...

Based on a 1967 novel by Thomas Savage, Jane Campion’s The Power of the Dog follows a couple of brothers in 1920s Montana. Foulmouthed misanthrope and alpha male Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch) has been running a prosperous cattle farm with his brother George (Jesse Plemons) when his soft-spoken sibling decides to marry a local widow, Rose (Kirsten Dunst), forever upsetting the tight-knit fraternity. The psychological warfare Phil wages against Rose as she moves into the Burbanks’ mansion pales before the torments he reserves to her son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee). A gangly, bookish cherub helplessly lost around cows and cowboys, Peter turns into a kind of punching bag Phil and his hyena-like employees continually deride and humiliate. That is, until the boy strikes an unlikely friendship with his persecutor, a camaraderie that calls into question the sort of uber-virile persona Phil has projected through the years. Contemplative in pacing and elliptical in structure,...

Monos, directed by Alejandro Landes and Alexis Dos Santos, is screening both in Sundance and Berlin. This is a kidnap drama involving child soldiers set deep in the Colombian jungle. Amsterdam-based Lemming Film discovered the project at CineMart in 2016. “We were immediately drawn by the premise of the project and of course by directors Alejandro Landes and Alexis Dos Santos, whose work so far has been really impressive,” says Lemming’s CEO Leontine Petit.
