I'm not leaving here yet, but I did set up a BlueSky account if people are going over there: @mavericksmovies.bsky.social

Tron: Ares has ended up with an super eclectic combination of people who contributed "additional literary material" to the screenplay Tom McCarthy (Spotlight), Billy Ray (Captain Phillips), Nicole Holofcener (Can You Ever Forgive Me?), and Jez Butterworth (Ford v Ferrari) among…

Actor Christian Contreras, who had a small role in Zero Dark Thirty has received a writing credit from the WGA alongside Noah Oppenheim on Kathryn Bigelow's upcoming House of Dynamite

I like that the TIFF description of Mona Fastvold's The Testament of Ann Lee singles out Tim Blake Nelson from a supporting cast that also includes Lewis Pullman, Thomasin McKenzie and Christopher Abbott. He's a great actor and hopefully this means he's got a meaty role in…

Another big year for actors turned directors. Film festivals this year have films from: Aziz Ansari Brian Cox Harris Dickinson Scarlett Johansson James McAvoy Kristen Stewart Alex Winter There's also Scott Cooper (probably) and Mona Fastvold, who people forget were actors first

I’d be four 3 or 4 years old but have the memories of the next 25+ years to come? You ever read the Stephen King story “The Jaunt”? Probably something like the end of that

I mean bro lol

Alan Bergman, the Oscar-winning songwriter whose partnership with his wife Marilyn produced such hits as “The Windmills of Your Mind,” “The Way We Were” and “In the Heat of the Night,” has died. He was 99. variety.com/2025/music/new…

Crossing a long time item off the bucket list this coming week: travel to North Dakota. Anyone have any suggestions?

Seeing a lot of replies on this which are, “Nolan is one in a million, like Spielberg.” Which, sure. But Spielberg co-existed with Lucas, Scorsese, Coppola, DePalma. Take a step outwards, you had Kubrick, Cimino, Altman, Fosse, Lynch, Friedkin, Eastwood, etc.

Cinematography by Malik Hassan Sayeed His first feature film since BELLY (1998).

Oh hey this looks good (and it also looks like the type of star-studded adult-driven thriller they don’t really make anymore)

It's weird seeing the new Bridget Jones movie, which was a theatrical box-office hit outside of North America, nominated for Best Television Movie at the Emmys. Also noticed Paul Reubens got a posthumous nomination in Best Documentary, so that's sweet.

I know the Emmys changed the rules to crack down on abuse of submissions for Supporting/Guest Actor nominations, and that’s probably good, but it feels super silly to have Brian Cox Lead for Succession S4/Pascal lead for Last of Us S2.

Ayo Edebiri is the first woman at the #Emmys to be nominated in the same year for acting and directing in a comedy series. variety.com/2025/tv/awards…
