New Films in Production, v.2

[beamish14]

New Gremlins sequel will be directed by Chris Columbus and produced by Spielberg, no Dante

Columbus always hated the second for whatever reason. It’s better than anything he’s made as a director

Was interesting to see in that article that Tarantino loved the sequel. Wish he’d help Dante get his Corman biopic made

Tarantino and Edgar Wright brought Dante for a midnight screening of it at the New Beverly many moons ago. Wright moderated a Q&A at about 2 in the morning, which was very surreal. They also included a wonderful sequels trailer reel, and I took a peek at Dante as he saw the trailer for The Howling 3: The Marsupials

NEON have picked up Hokum, the new film by Damian McCarthy (who made the amazing Oddity and the similarly hair-raising Caveat) and it's coming May 1 next year. Adam Scott plays the lead. Offhand I can't think of anything else on the 2026 slate exciting me this much.

Ditto! Oddity was amazing!

Forgive if it was already posted, but was looking to see what Lukasz Zal was doing after Zhao's Hamnet and saw he's back with Pawel Pawlikowski shooting a film called 1949. Stars Sandra Hüller, with whom he worked on Zone of Interest.

Take it with a grain of salt, but a user on AW claims Leonardo DiCaprio will be in Damien Chazelle’s next film— that’s one way to immediately get out of Director Jail that I didn’t see coming!

Chazelle’s next film will star Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig and starts filming next week

Michelle Williams has joined

Seth MacFarlane is allegedly filming an adaptation of Brigadoon in secret

Kenan and Kel Meet Frankenstein - unironically a good idea, why not jump start an Abbott and Costello redux with these two?

[Never Cursed]

Justine Triet's next will star Mia Goth, Andrew Scott, and (likely) Alison Janney, will be a psychological thriller called Fonda (but with no connection to the acting dynasty)

Brady Corbet’s next film will allegedly be an NC-17 four hour film spanning over a century and a half

I wonder if the title The Origin of the World is relating to the Gustave Courbet painting?

Anyone know the status of Patrick Wang's A. Rimbaud?

[The Narrator Returns]

Jane Schoenbrun's next film will be titled Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, which they reportedly described as being a cross between Portrait of a Lady on Fire and Friday the 13th. Additionally, they told Gregg Araki that it will be

all about sex—essentially a movie about learning to enjoy sex after transition. Pre-transition, it wasn’t that I was asexual—I had plenty of desire—but having good sex in the wrong body was impossible. What was available was full dissociation, which is obviously a theme in the first two films. … This is literally what my next movie is about, learning to enjoy sex. Just a fun movie about learning how to overcome sexual trauma and stop dissociating during queer sex.

This will shoot this summer with a release next year from Mubi, and it stars Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson.

Coming out August 7, with Eva Victor, Sarah Sherman, Zach Cherry, Patrick Fischler, Kevin McDonald, Dylan Baker, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Jack Haven, and Castration Movie's Louise Weard also in the cast.

I was told it’s been shot and it’s currently being edited. Apparently it’s a single location, single character film a la Secret Honor.

Interesting, thanks. Last I'd heard it was filmed towards the end of 2024 so seemed like it had disappeared. I really love the sensibility of his films so hopefully it's ready soon.

Stephen Colbert (!) and his son to co-write another Lord of the Rings film with Philippa Boyens

Is it just me or has Peter Jackson really aged since the Hobbit movies (the films were notoriously difficult to make; there's footage on the internet of McKellen breaking down in tears on the green screen set of Bilbo's house)? He sounds really creaky.

[domino harvey]

Colbert is a notorious super fan and is, as far as I know, unbeaten in Lord of the Rings trivia

Just noticed this from IMDB. Asghar Farhadi next film is Parallel Tales with an interesting cast of Vincent Cassell, Isabelle Huppert and Catherine Deneuve

This is a remake of Dekalog VI…

The film is releasing next month at the Roxy Theater in NYC and will get limited releases across the US. Wang is self-distributing his film and shot the feature on 35mm. It apparently spans many years, is in one location, and is 175 minutes.

That sounds incredible, I'm dying to see it and loving this shot on the website.

Do you think he submitted it to any festivals? Hope it somehow screens at the Sydney Film Festival in June.
