Six years after Vox Lux, Brady Corbet is finally returning with his next feature The Brutalist. Led by Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, Stacy Martin, Isaach De Bankolé, and Alessandro Nivola, it’s shaping up to be a drama of epic proportions: 215 minutes long, with a 15-minute intermission, shot on VistaVision, and presented on 70mm across 26 reels weighing 300 pounds.
Ahead of the film’s Venice Film Festival premiere, Corbet spoke with Variety about his approach for shooting in the format. “It feels grander and more accurate to the color that a director and colorist and all the engineers are working to achieve,” said the director, who worked with Kodak and Fotokem on using 70mm, which only accounted for 1% of the film’s budget. “It’s the most accurate representation of the film as a final product. You have better definition and color separation between the...

The selection for the 81st Venice Film Festival (Aug 28-Sept 7) was unveiled today by festival president Pietrangelo Buttafuoco and artistic director Alberto Barbera.
Screen International rounds up the key talking points from this year’s line-up, including the return of stars, the lack of streaming titles and a slight improvement in the number of female directors.
Stage is set for the return of A-list stars
This year’s edition more than makes up for 2023’s strike-hit festival. A-list stars including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Adrien Brody, Guy Pearce,...

Alberto Barbera, it must be said, has done it again.
The long-running director of the Venice Film Festival, who successfully repositioned the august Italian cinema event as an awards-season launchpad, on Tuesday unveiled another top-shelf lineup for the 81st Biennale (Aug. 28-Sept. 7). And, as Kendall Roy would say, it’s “all bangers, all the time.”
Alongside tentpole studio sequels — Warner Bros. will kick off the festival with the out-of-competition screening of Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Todd Phillips returns to the Lido competition with Joker: Folie à Deux, the follow-up to his 2019 Golden Lion-winner Joker — Barbera has selected a tasty mix of established auteurs and up-and-coming talent that looks to appeal both to critics and international buyers.

Filmmaker Brady Corbet has premiered features twice before at Venice, but never at this scale.
“The Brutalist” is the director’s first feature since 2018’s “Vox Lux,” which starred Natalie Portman as a pop star haunted by a school shooting. Before that, Corbet also premiered “The Childhood of a Leader” (2015) at Venice, announcing a singular cinematic voice after years of acting in indies like “Melancholia,” “Simon Killer,” “Mysterious Skin,” and “Thirteen.”
As Venice Film Festival artistic director Alberto Barbera revealed during the July 23 press conference announcing the lineup, “The Brutalist” will premiere in competition. It’s also a whopping 215 minutes long, which includes a 15-minute intermission. The film was shot on Vista Vision by Lol Crawley, director of photography on the celluloid-made “Vox Lux” and “The Childhood of a Leader” as well as Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise” more recently. Barbera confirmed that the Italian film festival will screen “The Brutalist” in 70mm,...

The full list of titles set for the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival has been revealed, and it’s another powerhouse lineup — scroll below to check it out.
The venerable event in 2023 took place under the cloud of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which prevented many stars coming out in support of their movies. With the labor action resolved and this year’s roster now formalized, we can expect a tidal wave of talent to wash over the Lido at the end of next month and into early September.
Many of the films announced this morning by La Biennale President Pietrangelo Buttafuoco and Venice Film Festival Artistic Director Alberto Barbera were widely anticipated, including Todd Phillips’ Joaquin Phoenix/Lady Gaga starrer Joker: Folie à Deux. The Warner Bros sequel arguably is the highest-profile movie of the competition bunch, coming five years after Phillips’ Joker won the Golden Lion before going on to 11 Oscar nominations,...

The Venice Film Festival on Tuesday unveiled its official, star-packed lineup for its 81st edition, which runs from Aug. 28 to Sept. 7.
Joker: Folie à Deux, Todd Phillips’ sequel to his 2019 Golden Lion-winning Joker, will also bow in Venice. Joaquin Phoenix, who won a best actor Oscar for his portrayal of Arthur Fleck, aka Joker, in the original, returns in the musical sequel, with Lady Gaga playing Harley Quinn, his love interest and partner in crime. Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener co-star.
Venice favorites Brad Pitt and George Clooney will return to the Lido with Wolfs, an action drama from Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) about two lone-wolf fixers assigned to the same job. The film, an Apple Original Films production that Columbia/Sony will release theatrically worldwide, will screen out of competition, as will Broken Rage, the latest feature from legendary Japanese director Takeshi Kitano.

Boatloads of high-wattage stars are set to disembark at this year’s Venice Film Festival.

Exclusive: Oscar-nominated writer-producers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby have signed with Kaplan/Perrone Entertainment for management, Deadline has learned.
The news comes following word this morning that the pair have been tapped to script Shadow Tiger, a feature adaptation of the comic book from Sharad Devarajan.
No strangers to comic books, Fergus and Ostby rose to prominence after co-writing Children of Men and Iron Man back to back.
Released by Universal in 2006, Alfonso Cuarón’s dystopian sci-fi pic Children of Men adapted P.D. James’s 1992 novel of the same name. Set in a bleak future where two decades of global human infertility have pushed society to the brink of collapse, the film follows Theo Faron (Clive Owen), a disillusioned bureaucrat, as he is unexpectedly tasked with protecting a miraculously pregnant woman, Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey).

Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1 is now available on VOD. There’s no way around it – the film’s theatrical release was a huge disappointment, as it earned back only a fraction of its reported budget and has put the release of the second film in major jeopardy. However, now that it’s streaming, the hope is that people will be able to discover it at home, perhaps paving the way for this saga to continue. If you’ve watched Horizon and are jonesing for more modern westerns to check out, here are some we really like here at JoBlo.
Tombstone (1993):
This is perhaps an ironic one to put on a list that pays tribute to Costner’s Horizon, as the star’s own big-budget western epic, Wyatt Earp, was badly overshadowed by this competing story about the same historical events. The fact is, George Pan Cosmatos and Kurt Russell...

A lot of good decisions went into the making of something as near-perfect and biting as Lee Tamahori’s The Convert. Tamahori, coming from a mix of Maori and British ancestry, transcends the thematic stagnancy of movies about the evils of Great Britain’s abusive and exploitative colonies in his Guy Pearce-starrer. And the most significant decision that’s led to such an affecting war drama is the film’s refusal to see the natives from an overly victimizing perspective. There’s less need for a white knight in such a case and more need for an empathetic ally.

Few stock characters in contemporary film and literary discourse come with more baked-in connotations than the white missionary who sails to a remote island with the hopes of convincing its Indigenous people to abandon their own religions. Years of colonization and violence have understandably prompted many to view missionary work as ill-advised at best and fundamentally evil at worst. So when Thomas Munro (Guy Pearce) lands on the shores of 19th century New Zealand to preach to the native Māori tribes, it’s a given that viewers will approach him with their own baggage and preconceived notions. “The Convert” director Lee Tamahori certainly knows that, and revels in gradually subverting expectations about his protagonist as he asks larger questions about humanity’s ability to transcend violence and prejudice.
Unlike many religious zealots who find themselves whisked off to far away lands by their faith, Thomas isn’t quite convinced that...

Working in his native country seems to enliven New Zealand-born director Lee Tamahori, whose best film remains his 1994 debut feature Once Were Warriors. His Hollywood career has been a mixed bag, including such clunkers as the Nicolas Cage starrer Next and the ill-fated xXx: State of the Union, not to mention Die Another Day, one of the most forgettable of recent James Bond films. Tamahori demonstrates something of a return to form with The Convert, a 19th century-set historical drama starring Guy Pearce, about an English minister who travels to New Zealand to preach at a British settlement only to get caught up in the violence between warring Maori tribes.
Like Tamahori’s 2016 feature, The Patriarch, The Convert is uneven and doesn’t fully live up to its thematic ambitions. But it’s handsomely made and thankfully avoids falling victim to white savior syndrome.
Set in 1830, the story begins with...

While the 1830s-set The Convert is a work of historical fiction, the filmmakers are passionate about honoring the customs and traditions of the Māori and presenting them in a historically authentic manner. Great care is taken in the costume and set design, and there are several sequences that focus intently on Māori’s war dances and grieving rituals, as well as the nuances of their language and weaponry. This makes it all the more baffling, then, that Lee Tamahori’s film chooses to center the perspective and experiences of a white British preacher, Thomas Munro (Guy Pearce), who arrives on the shores of what would become Auckland to lead a congregation of British colonists in a newly established church.
The Convert could have delved into the causes of the animosity between two embattled Māori tribes or the myriad consequences that British imperialism had on the Māori during this time period,...

Lee Tamahori captures the might and majesty of Aotearoa in this stately film, with Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne giving an electric performance
Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email
Lee Tamahori’s stately period drama is based around a British settlement in New Zealand circa the 1830s, where Guy Pearce’s preacher protagonist attempts to keep the peace – or at least minimise hostilities – between white settlers and Māori tribes, and between the tribes themselves. Spreading the gospel alone would have been tough for his character, Thomas Munro, who is told upon arrival that “if you’ve come to win souls for Jesus, you’re going to be busy”. But reinforcing the sixth commandment in this neck of the woods, during this violent time, was surely doomed from the start, no matter how many finely worded monologues the silver-tongued sermoniser delivers.

Image Source: Amazon Before Oppenheimer, Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy, a young Christopher Nolan first made his mark in Hollywood with a fascinating film called Memento. Released by an indie studio, it became a surprise arthouse hit; over the years, as Nolan’s profile has risen, Memento has evolved into a cult classic. The film stars Guy Pearce as a man who, after the attack that killed his wife, left him struggling with a form of amnesia; the movie’s plot features Pearce’s character, bereft of any short-term memories, trying to piece together the details of the attack. At the time the film was being cast, Pearce had won some acclaim for his early films, but he was far from a household name. And that, Nolan once told us, made him a very attractive choice for the role. (Click on the media bar below to hear Christopher Nolan) https://www.

“You always attack a movie scene as late as you possibly can. You always come into the scene at the last possible moment.” This bit of advice from the great screenwriter William Goldman has guided most moviemakers. The overwhelming majority of films begin with trouble already brewing and end before everything can be settled. But sometimes, a filmmaker takes the opposite approach. These visionaries begin as early as possible, even after the opening of a different movie. Thus, the prequel was born.
Seriously though, most prequels come less from the minds of creatives and more from studios trying to milk every dollar from their sweet, sweet IP. For that reason, audiences have rightly developed a general skepticism toward the concept. But every once in a while, a genuinely talented filmmaker finds value in telling the story before the story.

Curtis Hanson's crime drama "L.A. Confidential," based on the novel by James Ellroy, takes place in 1953 right after real-life crime boss Mickey Cohen had been arrested, creating a power vacuum in L.A.'s underworld. A mysterious and brutal massacre at a local diner -- a massacre that took the lives of several allegedly corrupt cops -- reveals a series of equally mysterious plots throughout the city, each of them being individually investigated by one of three cops. There is Edmund Exley (Guy Pearce), the by-the-book Boy Scout no one likes. There is Jack Vincennes (Kevin Spacey), the celebrity cop who offer consultations to the hottest cop show on TV. And there is Bud White (Russell Crowe), a human fist who instinctively beats up criminals who piss him off or who dare to threaten women in his presence.

In a year affected by writers’ strikes, scribes wrote some of the material the actors worked with and did a good job making it their own.

Legendary actor and comedian Dick Van Dyke has made history, winning the 2024 Daytime Emmy award for guest performer in a daytime drama series — via his spot on Peacock’s “Days of Our Lives.” At 98, that makes Van Dyke the oldest actor to receive a Daytime Emmy win.
Van Dyke came into Friday’s 51st Daytime Emmy Awards already making a mark as the oldest Daytime Emmys nominee ever. Night one of the 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards took place live on CBS on Friday, June 7, from the Westin Bonaventure hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.
“I feel like a spy from nighttime television,” Van Dyke joked. “I’m the oldest nominee in history. I can’t believe it. I was playing old men all my life. If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!”
Van Dyke said he had a “wonderful time” on “Days,...

In June 2022, Jason Herbison was on set shooting what was to be the 8,903rd — and final — episode of “Neighbours,” an experience he admits was “very, very emotional.” The cult Australian soap opera — a show he first starting writing for after leaving high school in 1990 and came to oversee as its top exec producer — was coming to a tearful end.
Two years on, almost to the day, and Herbison is now on a short trip to L.A. to see if “Neighbours” — which recently announced that “Selling Sunset” favorite Chrishell Stause is joining the cast — wins a daytime Emmy on Friday from its first-ever nomination.
While the producer describes the remarkable turn of events as “really unexpected and amazing,” the story of how “Neighbours” was effectively brought back from the dead parodies the sort of wild plotline generally only conceived in a daytime drama writers’ room. Usually, it’s soap characters...

The recently released trailer for “The Convert,” starring Guy Pearce, has captured the attention of cinema enthusiasts and historical drama fans alike. Directed by renowned filmmaker Lee Tamahori, the film promises to be a compelling journey into the turbulent times of early 19th century New Zealand.
A Tale of Transformation and Conflict
“The Convert” is set in the early 1830s, a period marked by cultural upheaval and the clash between indigenous Maori traditions and European colonial influences. The story revolves around Thomas Munro, portrayed by Guy Pearce, a deeply troubled former soldier who seeks redemption by becoming a Christian missionary. Munro’s quest for salvation leads him to New Zealand, where he encounters a world vastly different from his own.
As the trailer unfolds, viewers are introduced to the stark beauty of New Zealand’s landscapes, juxtaposed with the brutal realities of colonial expansion. Munro’s journey is fraught with moral dilemmas and violent confrontations,...

"Only blood redeems blood. Magnolia Pictures has debuted the US trailer for a film called The Convert from New Zealand, made by Kiwi filmmaker Lee Tamahori. He used to make big Hollywood action movies for years, then went back to New Zealand to make more intimate dramas about his homeland - I loved his last one The Patriarch from 2016. Tamahori’s new action-filled historical epic stars Guy Pearce as Thomas Munro, a newly arrived preacher in a colonial town in early 19th-century New Zealand who finds himself at the center of a long-standing battle between two Māori tribes. A lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in 1830s. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test, as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Maori tribes. In addition to Pearce, this also stars Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne as Rangimai, Antonio Te Maioha,...

Magnet is bringing an intense trailer for Lee Tamahori’s action drama The Convert to theaters and on-demand on July 12, 2024, but not before footage from the film spills blood online. The gripping tale of survival stars Guy Pearce as Thomas Munro, a newly arrived preacher in a colonial town in early 19th-century New Zealand who finds himself at the center of a long-standing battle between two Māori tribes. The Convert trailer is ambitious and brutal, displaying a power clash for control over land and loyalty.

Vanity Fair France has commented after editing a photo of Guy Pearce at the Cannes Film Festival wearing a pin of the Palestinian flag.
Pearce appeared at the film festival to support his new film, The Shrouds. During the red carpet premiere, the actor wore a pin supporting Palestine.
The actor posed for a portrait to be featured in Vanity Fair France and later appeared in an Instagram post. However, the magazine’s website shared a modified version of the picture. Social media users noticed Vanity Fair France edited out Pearce’s pin.
After an uproar, Vanity Fair France issued an apology on X, the microblogging site formerly known as Twitter.
“Good evening. We have mistakenly published a modified version of this photo on the site. The original version was posted on Instagram the same day. We have rectified our mistake and we apologize,” read the apology from Vanity Fair France.

Vanity Fair France has apologized for publishing a photo in which a Palestine pin that Guy Pearce was wearing on his suit was edited out (via CNN). Pearce attended this year’s Cannes Film Festival for David Cronenberg’s competition entry “The Shrouds,” in which he stars opposite Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger. Pearce was one of many festival stars to have his portrait taken and published by Vanity Fair France, but the photo online did not include the Palestinian flag pin the actor wore throughout the festival.
As reported by CNN: “A small Palestinian flag pin, which Pearce had been wearing on his lapel throughout Cannes, was missing from the photograph [on the publication’s website], though a different photo, featuring the pin, was posted to the magazine’s Instagram the same day the article published. A white, red, black and green bracelet — the colors of the Palestinian flag — was still visible on his wrist.

Can you believe it has been over two whole decades since we first encountered the perplexing tale of Leonard (Guy Pearce), the compelling Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), and the intricate structural puzzle that is Christopher Nolan’s groundbreaking film, Memento?
This masterpiece, a hallmark of neo-noir storytelling, isn’t just memorable for its narrative acrobatics; it marks the auspicious second film debut of Nolan in the major league of filmmakers. Just as Leonard used tattoos to etch pivotal clues onto his skin, Memento indelibly inked itself into our cultural consciousness.

With numerous accolades, including Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing, there’s no question that Memento is a fascinating subject for cinephiles. With the film’s commercial success, however, Nolan was surprised by the reception it received.

When "Memento" arrived in 2000, it was a big deal. This small indie film that cost $9 million to make became a big hit, spurned on by strong word of mouth that kept talking up the movie's narrative trick: it moved backwards. Rather than tell a straightforward story, Christopher Nolan's mystery-thriller runs in reverse, with each new scene giving us insight into a scene we just watched. Little by little, we piece together the mystery, just like the film's main character, played by Guy Pearce.
If you need a refresher, here's the gist: Pearce's character, Leonard "Lenny" Shelby, has anterograde amnesia — he's unable to retain new memories. The condition arose when he was injured during an attack that resulted in his wife's murder. Now, Lenny uses clues he pieces together in order to find (and kill) the man who murdered his wife. But of course, nothing is quite as it seems,...

Iconic directors named David haven’t been having the best luck with the Netflix streaming service lately. David Lynch recently revealed that Snootworld, an animated movie he hopes to make, had been rejected by Netflix, and now David Cronenberg has said that his new film The Shrouds – which just made its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival (you can read some of the first reactions Here) – was originally intended to be a Netflix TV series, but the streamer dropped it after paying him to write the pilot episode.
During a press conference at Cannes, Cronenberg said (according to The Hollywood Reporter) that he “envisioned the story working well as a series. He flew to Los Angeles to speak with two Netflix execs who financed the writing of a first episode – which they loved. But after the second, they did not want to go any further.” Cronenberg went on to say,...
