Sean Baker is officially returning to Cannes with his new rom-com “Anora.”
While the plot details remain under wraps, the feature is billed as an adventure rom-com, with the first look image showing a neon-lit club scene. Baker writes and directs the feature, which will debut at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
The cast includes Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karen Karagulian, and Vache Tovmasyan. Drew Daniels served as director of photography and shot the feature on 35mm film. The feature was filmed in Brooklyn and will be released by Neon later this year.
“Making an independent film is never easy no matter how many you have under your belt!” Baker said in a 2023 press statement (via Variety). “I feel so fortunate to have been given the resources and support to fulfill my vision in an uncompromised way. Thank you to my collaborators including Glen Basner and the FilmNation team,...

Sean Durkin’s “The Iron Claw” is less Christmas crowdpleaser than family downer, but this skillfully directed portrait of the tragic rise, fall, and resurrection of the Von Erich wrestling family dynasty should be a holiday hit for A24. Its stacked cast includes a Hollywood favorite with a beloved risen-from-the-ashes story of his own (Zac Efron), at least one super hot name right now (Jeremy Allen White), and a fast-rising indie darling on his way to becoming a household name (Harris Dickinson).
They, along with newcomer Stanley Simons, play the quartet of Von Erich brothers beset by misfortune and heroic episodes of prevailing throughout their 1980s wrestling careers, under the controlling clutch of their father’s (Holt McCallany) merciless management style and cruel kind of love. Maura Tierney, meanwhile, plays their mother as a woman numbed by grief amid the successive self-inflicted deaths of her children. To this day, Kevin Von Erich...

Long before she was Marvel fixture Wanda Maximoff, Elizabeth Olsen was a 20-year-old actor starting out as Martha, a damaged woman struggling to reassimilate back into normal life after escaping an abusive cult in “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” At the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, the indie thriller launched Olsen’s career, as well as filmmaker Sean Durkin’s, when it won the U.S. Dramatic Prize for Directing and scored a posh distribution deal from then-Fox Searchlight Pictures.
“Martha Marcy May Marlene” made back more than enough of its $600,000 budget after the Fox Searchlight acquisition, grossing $5.4 million during a fall 2011 run, while also garnering Olsen a number of film critics’ awards and nominations, and the film four Film Independent Spirit Award nominations. But it’s fascinating to look back at the sort of launchpad the movie proved to be, as it re-emerges in retrospect a veritable who’s-who of indie film,...

Since her memorable breakout role in “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” rocked Sundance in 2015, British actress Olivia Cooke has filled her resume with a bevy of highbrow and intriguing projects. In 2017, she returned to Sundance in Cry Finley’s “Thoroughbreds,” where she was electric as a troubled Connecticut rich girl with an axe to grind. She also landed a plum role in Steven Spielberg’s “Ready Player One,” and thrilled critics with her portrayal of ambitious and scheming Becky Sharp in the latest TV mini-series of William Makepeace Thackeray’s “Vanity Fair.”
Now, she takes on another mature and intense role in Wayne Roberts’ feature directorial debut, “Katie Says Goodbye.” The film follows a small town waitress who is mistreated by nearly everyone in her life — from her abusive mother (a terrifying Mireille Enos) to a seemingly never-ending string of men who pay her for sexual acts — but...

Peter Dinklage is going to have a lot more free time on his hands to do stuff with Game of Thrones coming to an end. He just signed on to star in a new post-apocalyptic film called Last Sons of America for Netflix and Matt Reeves (Cloverfield, The Batman) is set to produce the new film.

Exclusive: Game Of Thrones lynchpin Peter Dinklage, Netflix, Matt Reeves (Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes) and publisher-producer Boom! Studios are teaming up on a feature version of Boom!’s post-apocalyptic graphic novel Last Sons Of America by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Matthew Dow Smith.
Dinklage will star in the film set in a not too distant future where Americans are no longer able to conceive and children have become a valuable commodity around the globe. In this world, brothers Jackie and Julian (Dinklage) operate as adoption agents in Colombia, securing deals with families willing to give their children up for a presumably better life in America. When the brothers suddenly find themselves with their backs against the wall, Jackie makes a grave mistake that sends them spiraling into a dark mystery at the root of their world’s status quo.
James White filmmaker Josh Mond will direct and is adapting.

It’s an association, friendship and creative partnership that began with Nicolas Pesce, that was nurtured by the Borderline Films’ Josh Mond, Antonio Campos and Sean Durkin and supported by the Sundance Film Festival programmers that has allowed for Jake Wasserman to bare two major American indie film cinematic gifts at the ’18 edition of the fest. As a producer, the Tisch grad was already familiar with the layout of the Park City land having previously co-produced 2015’s James White (Mond’s debut) and 2016’s The Eyes of My Mother (Pesce’s debut – read review) and now with the twosome of Pesce’s Piercing and Sebastián Silva’s Tyrel added to the conversation of auteur-driven projects that are both thought provoking and contain a stylistic pulse.…...

Exclusive: Nicolas Pesce’s horror dark comedy Piercing, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Midnight section this year, has been acquired by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment Content Group for a multi-platform release later this year. Pesce is a genre cinematic voice who has been on the rise, and he’s currently directing Sony’s re-imagining of the horror pic The Grudge which opens on August 16, 2019.
UTA Independent Film Group and Endeavor Content negotiated the deal for Piercing on behalf of the filmmaker.
Based on the novel by Ryu Murakami, Piercing follows Reed (Christopher Abbott) as he says goodbye to his wife (Laia Costa) and claims to be taking off on a business trip, but instead checks into a hotel with the intent to kill an unsuspecting victim. When he’s confronted with an alluring call girl (Mia Wasikowska) with her own dark intentions, both are consumed by a twisted game of cat and mouse.

Over the past few years, Sundance has arguably shunted most of its noteworthy titles off into its sidebars, whether they be prestigious premieres from world class auteurs deserving to compete rather than adorn a festival’s program (Kelly Reichardt’s Certain Women; Dee Rees’ Mudbound) or relegating daring, tantalizing boundary pushers like Sean Baker’s Tangerine, Josh Mond’s James White, or Sebastian Silva’s Nasty Baby into the wild child Next sidebar.

The jump from first to second feature is often a tough one for acclaimed filmmakers to make, but for “It Comes at Night” writer and director Trey Edward Shults, it was a seamless one. His first feature, the festival hit “Krisha,” was made for a fraction of his second, the A24-financed horror offering “It Comes at Night,” but one personal vision led directly to the other — literally, as A24 picked up the rights to the new project at the same time that it acquired his debut. The only difference on the second time around was money.
“Now we have an actual budget,” Shults said, laughing during a recent interview as he considered his progress. “It’s not at my mom’s house. It’s not with my family, though I brought as many friends as I could. It’s all funded from a studio.”

Christopher Abbott is a drifter who wreaks havoc on a small Alaskan town in The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive clip of Sweet Virginia.
The Girls alum, who made an impression in Josh Mond's drama James White, goes up against Jon Bernthal (The Punisher, The Walking Dead) in this gritty neo-Western, which premieres this month at New York's Tribeca Film Festival.
In the first clip of the film, Abbott's loner Elwood wanders into a closed diner much to the dismay of one of the locals on staff, Mitchell (Jonathan Tucker). When he is told to leave, Elwood threatens, "Do you have a wife that you...

Easily one of the more unforgettable films I’ve seen this year—genre or otherwise—is writer/director Nicolas Pesce’s The Eyes of My Mother, which follows a young woman named Francisca (Kika Magalhaes) as she copes with her loneliness through some rather depraved and heartbreaking ways.
The Eyes of My Mother recently played at the 2016 Fantastic Fest, and while at the festival, we had a chance to speak with the first-time feature filmmaker about his approach to his haunting character study, working with his incredible lead actress Magalhaes, and how he’s trying to bring back the feeling of the classic horror stories most of us grew up on, but with a bit of a modern twist.
Look for The Eyes of My Mother in December when it’s released by the fine folks over at Magnet Releasing.

Considering how fashionable a “spiritual sequel” is in Hollywood these days, it’s a pity that those behind Katie Says Goodbye can’t legally flaunt it as one of the prequel variety to Martin Scorsese’s early drama Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore. Sharing more than just the pink waitress uniforms donned by Olivia Cooke and Ellen Burstyn, respectively, both films explore a seemingly inescapable life below the poverty line in the American southwest, with big dreams to emerge out of the rut. Wayne Roberts‘ directorial debut certainly gets darker than that 1974 drama, but, despite a transfixing performance from Cooke, it’s in search of a more distinctive personality on both the page and screen.
Katie spends most of her time working as a waitress at the local truck stop, seemingly the biggest attraction in her desolate town. At night, she tends to her alcoholic, unemployed mother (Mireille Enos...

A popular trend for young, rising actors is to take on the Ya novel franchise, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley is following suit. According to Variety, the young star has joined Lionsgate for an adaptation of Chaos Walking, which is set in a world where all living things can hear each other’s thoughts. The novel are a — wait for it — trilogy, so clearly the studio wants this thing to take off, but the big question will be if Ridley can balance it with the demands of the Star Wars saga commitment. Despite this traditional choice, however, Ridley continues to mix her growing filmography palette with interesting choices, as she can be heard narrating a documentary on a young Mongolian eagle huntress soon, as well as starring in a reimagining of Hamlet from Ophelia’s perspective.

Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, and more (note: U.S. only).

Aferim! (Radu Jude)
Leave it to a Romanian director to make a movie that best expresses the dangers of the dyed-in-the-wool mindset of modern America. Culled partly from historical documents, Aferim! is a twisted history lesson whose messages transcend its insular time period of 19th-century Romania. Its story concerns Constable Costandin (Teodor Corban) and his son, Ionita (Mihai Comanoiu), who chase after a wanted Gypsy slave...

After making a run with Josh Mond’s James White, and less than a day after picking up the docu Life, Animated, Variety reports that The Orchard have reteamed with the Borderline Films folk on the Sundance preemed Christine – Antonio Campos’ third feature film. With a stellar perf from Rebecca Hall, we imagine the company will look to premiere the film at major film fests prior to an awards-friendly theatrical release date later this year.
Gist: Based on true events, ‘Christine’ is about an ambitious 29-year-old news reporter (Hall), in Sarasota, Florida, circa 1974. Relentlessly motivated to succeed, she knows she has talent, but being a driven career woman in the 1970s comes with its own challenges, especially when competition for a promotion, unrequited love for a coworker (Michael C. Hall) and a tumultuous home life lead to a dissolution of self. With ratings in the cellar, the station manager issues...

And Soon the Darkness: Pesce’s Debut a Superbly Stylized Nightmare
If Portugal were the portal to some Lynchian netherworld of dreams deferred, it would look something like Nicolas Pesce’s sumptuously grotesque directorial debut, The Eyes of My Mother. A striking palette of black and white cinematography from Zach Kuperstein recalls the scarred, destitute lives from the ruins of Arturo Ripstein’s filmography, a macabre yet uncharacteristically sound portrait of psychological unraveling. We all know the kind of potent degeneration to be fashioned on isolated farmhouses where dysfunctional children are paired with musings of surgical practices, as seen in films from Haneke or even last year’s Goodnight Mommy. Pesce, who previously directed multiple music videos, as well as assistant editor on Josh Mond’s James White (2015), debuts a spectacularly gruesome calling card which may deconstruct the notion of the physical lens through which living beings observe the world,...
