Exclusive: Legion M, a fan-driven film production and distribution outfit behind films like SXSW audience award winner My Dead Friend Zoe, has just raised $5 million from 15,000 individual investors.
It is the company’s largest fundraising round, both in terms of the number of investors and the amount raised, and is slated to close on October 11. The influx of investors brings the company’s total count to almost 50,000.
The news comes a day after a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign for fall title The Apprentice offered yet more evidence that newer models of film financing appear to be increasingly viable.
Legion M, whose slate also includes the upcoming film The Man in the White Van, which stars Sean Astin, Ali Larter, Madison Wolfe and Brec Bassinger, lets audiences get directly involved in the creation of content and own a financial stake in it. Investors become shareholders in the company and can also invest directly in individual projects,...

There are more than 50 films that have passed the $1 billion milestone at the box office, but only three Broadway musicals have ever done the same -- and one of them is "Wicked." Now, the "Wizard of Oz" prequel is trying its luck on the big screen as the first half of a two-part movie adaptation from director Jon M. Chu makes its way into theaters this Thanksgiving. Fans got their first look at "Wicked" during the Super Bowl, which was followed by a full-length trailer at the start of the summer. Now, Universal Pictures has dropped a new trailer for "Wicked" to keep things fresh.
"Wicked" stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a green-skinned girl with a powerful talent for sorcery. She will later come to be known as the Wicked Witch of the West and suffer an ignoble defeat at the hands of a farm girl with a bucket of water.

It was Adolf Hitler’s name that became synonymous with evil, but his Italian counterpart — Benito Mussolini, named for a Mexican revolutionary leader by his staunchly Socialist father — was arguably the more enduring brand. Any populist politician today owes a good deal to the Mussolini playbook, brought to explosive life in an extraordinary Italian-language series by British director Joe Wright.
M. Son of the Century sticks to the facts of the great dictator’s life, which are extraordinary enough, but stretches those facts into surreal shapes until we feel we’re in some parallel historical universe. Wright’s brassy style — unlike anything he has done before — owes something to Fellini, but a whole lot more to its subject. Because Benito Mussolini, apart from anything else, definitely knew how to put on a show.

British director Joe Wright, who helmed Winston Churchill drama “Darkest Hour,” is at the Venice Film Festival with another historical piece, high-end TV drama “M. Son of the Century.” The series chronicles Benito Mussolini’s rise to power and is particularly timely as populist leaders are sprouting up all over the world.
Based on Italian author Antonio Scurati’s eponymous bestselling novel which traces the birth of Fascism in Italy, “M” reconstructs Mussolini’s ascent with an innovative approach. Luca Marinelli plays the despotic leader during the period between 1919, when he founded the fascist party in Italy, and 1925 when – having gained power with the 1922 March on Rome – Mussolini made an infamous speech in the Italian Chamber of Deputies declaring himself a dictator.
"M” is produced by Sky Studios and Lorenzo Mieli for Fremantle-owned The Apartment Pictures in collaboration with Pathé and Small Forward. The show, which was largely shot at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios,...

Mediawan has made it official that their majority stake in Lorenzo Mieli and Mario Gianani’s Our Films has closed as the Venice Film Festival gets underway. News of both parties’ union began to emerge out of Cannes.
The investment is in line with Mediawan’s strategy of creating a Pan-European studio, home to more than 80 production companies. The Paris-based studio made a majority investment in Brad Pitt’s Plan B back in December 2022 with four of that shingle’s projects premiering on the Lido: Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the Apfel Jon Watts directed Pitt-George Clooney comedy noir Wolfs, and documentaries One to One: John & Yoko, directed by Kevin Macdonald, and Apocalypse in the Tropics directed by Petra Costa.
Mieli and Gianani departed as CEOs of their respective Fremantle labels, Wildside and The Apartment, in January, and launched their Rome, Italy-based Our Films earlier this year.

Ride the Black Chariot: A Hitchcockian Horror of Vengeance and Retribution
Hex Studios is excited to announce Black Chariot, an intense and deeply disturbing supernatural horror directed by Lawrie Brewster, inspired by the macabre genius of Alfred Hitchcock. Drawing from Hitchcock’s dark thrillers like Rebecca (1942) and Psycho (1960), Brewster seeks to invoke Hitchcock’s spirit, combined with his love of classic film noir and Val Lewton’s atmospheric slow-burn horrors.
Director Lawrie Brewster shared, “My childhood was spent haunted and mesmerized by the romantic and seductive veil Hitchcock cast over me. It shaped my vision of horror, sensuality, and my understanding of fear and obsession. I am thrilled to finally produce a horror film that combines my love for the genre with inspirations drawn from his incomparable genius.

A quarter-century ago, frustrated by Hollywood’s paucity of good roles for middle-aged women, Bette Milder renounced the industry, declaring, “Movies are over for me.” Today, at 78, with a new comedy in theaters and a handful of other flicks burbling in development, she’s obviously had second thoughts. “When did I say that?” she asks. “I must have been in the dumps. I’m often in the dumps.”
Any artist might find themselves in the dumps, and Midler, an admitted chronic tsuris sufferer, may have spent periods of her six-decade-plus career feeling down, even momentarily out of fashion, but she inevitably locates one opportunity or another to propel herself up. Because Midler can do it all — sing, act, tell jokes and hoof pretty well, too, even imprisoned onstage in a mermaid costume — her career has been marked by a kind of Whac-a-Mole movement around the industry, flourishing in one genre...

Sky and Fremantle have released the first teaser-trailer for “M – Son of the Century,” the hotly anticipated series about Benito Mussolini’s rise to power that will launch from the upcoming Venice Film Festival.
The kaleidoscopic eight-episode show is helmed by Joe Wright, the British director of Winston Churchill drama “Darkest Hour” – which earned Gary Oldman an Oscar for his portrayal as the British prime minister – and also of “Atonement,” among other titles.
The pulsating “M” soundtrack is composed by Tom Rowlands, also known for being part of pioneering British electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers.
“You can play with the aesthetics and the form of the piece. The score is going to be this kind of techno score,” Wright told Variety last year on set at Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, where the show was shot entirely. “And the aesthetics are a kind of mashup between ’90s rave culture and...

Soccer Mommy is back to officially announce Evergreen, her fourth studio album, out October 25th via Loma Vista Recordings. She’s also shared “M,” the latest single from the album.
The project of Nashville-based singer and songwriter Sophie Allison, Soccer Mommy recruited indie connoisseur Ben H. Allen III to produce Evergreen, and recorded the album in Atlanta’s Maze Studios. Unlike her more experimental last record Sometimes, Forever, which she made with Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrixpointnever), Evergreen is a return to a more organic, contemplative sound, with acoustic guitars, lush orchestration, and raw honesty.
She originally previewed Evergreen with “Lost,” and now, Soccer Mommy picks up where she left off with the similarly wistful “M.” With acoustic and electric guitars fluttering atop a dense, reverb-heavy atmosphere, “M” is akin to the more solemn and intricate hues of Soccer Mommy’s Color Theory as well as Phoebe Bridgers’ Punisher. She’s shared...

Soccer Mommy will ring in the fall season with the new album Evergreen, out Oct. 25 via Loma Vista Recordings.
Sophie Allison previewed the record with the stunner “M.” Similar to her previous single “Lost,” the track shows Allison grappling with grief over stark chords and an uplifting, almost hopeful melody. “I miss you/Like a loyal dog/Waiting by the door to hear the lock turn,” she sings in the devastating lines, admitting in a later verse, “I hear your voice in all my favorite songs.”

Fritz Lang’s M is the greatest serial killer movie ever made. Of course, there have been dozens, even hundreds, of films on the subject with various innovations and evolutions along the way from the early days of cinema all the way to the most recent twists on the subgenre in MaXXXine and Longlegs. A few can be counted among the greatest films of all time regardless of genre, but all of them owe at least some measure of influence to M. Whether it is the best or not is a matter of opinion, but there is no real argument regarding its greatness. M is a true cinematic masterpiece, a touchstone of innovation in image, sound, performance, structure, editing, writing, and practically every other element of filmmaking. But as with most great films, audiences have been drawn to it again and again over the past ninety-plus years because of its...

Ride the "Black Chariot" - A Hitchcockian Horror of Vengeance and Retribution: "Hex Studios is excited to announce Black Chariot, an intense and deeply disturbing supernatural horror directed by Lawrie Brewster, inspired by the macabre genius of Alfred Hitchcock. Drawing from Hitchcock's dark thrillers like Rebecca (1942) and Psycho (1960), Brewster seeks to invoke Hitchcock's spirit, combined with his love of classic film noir and Val Lewton’s atmospheric slow-burn horrors.
Director Lawrie Brewster shared, “My childhood was spent haunted and mesmerized by the romantic and seductive veil Hitchcock cast over me. It shaped my vision of horror, sensuality, and my understanding of fear and obsession. I am thrilled to finally produce a horror film that combines my love for the genre with inspirations drawn from his incomparable genius.

Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” (Disney) grossed $38.5 million in Thursday previews. Though not a record (“Avengers: Endgame” took in $60 million), it suggests an opening above the projected $150 million-$200 million. However, it guarantees the easiest of predictions: This will make it the best opening for an R-rated film ever.
"Deadpool and Wolverine” will be the biggest opening weekend for an R-rated film as not only an unadjusted gross, but also adjusted to relative ticket prices. It should also easily score the biggest domestic total for an R-rated release, but it will remain far down the list of R-rated hits based on attendance.
At $371 million, it will become the highest grossing R-rated film. But it will need to gross $464 million — $100 million more than either of the two earlier “Deadpool” films — to even make the top 15 when comparing adjusted ticket prices.

The lagoon setting, starry red carpets and summer dates of the Venice film festival don’t lend it a reputation as the most political of festivals. But Venice Film Festuval’s 81’s line-up collectively mirrors many of the challenges of the times – from Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas wars, through to migration, climate catastrophe and the rise of far-right movements.
Many of these themes are explored in documentaries playing out of competition. Asif Kapadia’s 2073 asks what the world will be like in 50 years and shows, according to Venice artistic director Alberto Barbera, “how the world is rapidly plunging into a vortex of lies,...

Die Mostra ist eigentlich berühmt für ihre Filmmeisterwerke. Nun hat aber das Filmfestival von Venedig auch vier hochattraktive Serienprojekte auf den roten Teppich eingeladen.

In Venedig feiern in diesem Jahr auch vier attraktive Serien Weltpremiere. Darunter befinden sich vom 28. August bis 7. September auf dem Lido die neuen Projekte von Alfonso Cuaron, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Thomas Vinterberg und Joe Wright.
Für Apple TV+ hat der „Roma“-Regisseur Alfonso Cuaron die Thriller-Miniserie „Disclaimer“ gedreht. In den Hauptrollen spielen unter anderem Cate Blanchett, Sacha Baron Cohen und Kevin Kline.

Auch zum Venedig-Lineup gehören die Serie „Families Like Ours“ vom Familienspezialisten Thomas Vinterberg, bei der die Ard Degeto und die Zentropa Berlin Koproduzenten sind, die Sky-Serie „M“ über Benito Mussolini...

Bleecker Street’s new comedy “The Fabulous Four” finds Bette Midler doing what she does best: broad comedy with a touch of poignancy peeking out from just beneath the surface.
It’s a quality that characterizes many of Midler’s most memorable performances in films like “The First Wives Club,” “Down and Out in Beverly Hills,” and “That Old Feeling,” and according to Midler, it’s been part of her approach since the beginning.
“When I worked live, starting from the time I was 19, I was very much aware of the melancholy underneath certain kinds of scenes,” Midler told IndieWire in a recent interview. “There’s a musical term for it: contrapuntal. ‘Miss M’ is loud and boisterous on the outside, but there’s an undercurrent of despair because it’s very hard to be a human being.”

Once upon a time, in a TV world long ago, there was no such thing as a series finale. How can that be? In the beginning, most series were episodic, and although viewers came to love many characters, there weren’t story arcs to be resolved, or even futures to be determined. Somewhere out there, it seems, Lucy and Ricky and Fred and Ethel will always be up to their shenanigans, because it quite simply never really ended.
That all changed in 1963 when Americans got hooked on “The Fugitive.” Week to week, viewers tuned in to watch wrongly-convicted Dr. Kimble relentlessly search for his wife’s true killer while running from the law. TV history was made in 1967 when this series provided an actual conclusion to its story, which went on to become the most-watched television episode up to that time, proving that audiences yearned for closure with their favorite characters.

Horror picture "Longlegs" is proving to be a surprising box office success. A lot of credit must go to indie studio Neon's marketing campaign, which was scary enough to get people paying attention, yet restrained enough to not give the whole movie away.
Starring Maika Monroe as FBI Agent Lee Harker, "Longlegs" follows the hunt for a serial killer, played by a well-disguised Nicolas Cage. Cage's killer character is mercifully kept at a distance or off-screen for most of the movie; the rare times we get an up-close look, it's like we're intruding on something devilish.
Director Osgood Perkins' previous films have felt a bit too empty for me. The procedural core of "Longlegs," though, gives the movie enough of a skeleton that I could appreciate Perkins' craftsmanship without it trying my patience. Is "Longlegs" the scariest movie ever? No, but it is the movie equivalent of a page-turner,...

After Nintendo’s recent creepy reveal of a video known as “Emio” (or “The Smiling Man” in Japan), fans have been speculating on just what the project is about. Curiously, Bloober Team recently revealed that they are working on a new Switch game known as Project M.
In a recent interview with Pap Biznes (reported by Polish business website Strefa Inwestorów), Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno dropped hints of the new project, which carries a “significantly smaller” budget than the games that Bloober Team has worked on in the past. However, the project is described as “extremely important” due to the developer’s long-term plans.
“In addition, we are working on it in cooperation with the world’s best game creators for Nintendo platforms, so we cannot afford to create just a decent game,” says Babieno. Babieno went on to say that Project M is a “big development challenge” due to its uniqueness,...

Starring Sean Astin, Ali Larter, Madison Wolfe (The Conjuring 2) Brec Bassinger (CW’s Stargirl), Gavin Warren (Night Swim) and Skai Jackson (Jessie), The Man in the White Van delves into the harrowing experiences of Annie Williams (Wolfe), a spirited family girl, whose carefree existence is turned upside down as she finds herself stalked by an ominous man in a white van. Prone to exaggeration, her parent’s disbelief in her tales of being followed, lead to a terrifying Halloween nightmare.
“The Man in the White Van is a flat-out frightening story with an incredible ensemble cast, and the teams behind it have produced a film that’s both visceral and topical,” said Michael Arrieta,...

Well, Agatha is here, and she brings all the fun with her. With its first trailer, Kathryn Hahn’s Agatha All Along promises a trippy voyage into the craziest corners of the Marvel Comics universe. Filled with scenes from a fever dream, Marvel’s new series is a long-awaited apology letter to the fans if it really lives up to the hype.

In a setting portraying all the classic visuals from those ubiquitous network television crime thrillers, Agatha All Along begins and ends the same way WandaVision did — enveloped in mysticism and zaniness. But while Wanda lost herself in the sitcoms of the bygone decades, Agatha starts by surrounding herself with death and foreboding calamity.
Agatha Harkness and Her Coven of Chaos
If True Detective without all the monologues was set in the town of Forks, it would look a lot like the intro to Agatha All Along.

Several of Rihanna‘s most impactful songs were co-written by the same movie star. The movie star in question has no interest in becoming famous for her songwriting. Here’s a look at the musical genius who wrote hits for several of the most essential divas of our time.
Several Rihanna songs were written be an actor from the ‘Pitch Perfect’ movies
Ester Dean is a songwriter who has written hits for megastars like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Selena Gomez, and Katy Perry. She wrote more hits for Rihanna than anyone else. The Rihanna singles she wrote include “Rude Boy,” “What’s My Name?,” “S&m,” “You da One,” and “Where Have You Been.” Dean is also a singer in her own right, having released some songs and played a singer in the Pitch Perfect movies.
During a 2015 interview with Time, Dean was asked if she writes her songs with specific artists in mind.

Commanding and versatile actor known for his roles in M*A*S*H, Don’t Look Now and The Hunger Games
Donald Sutherland, who has died aged 88, brought his disturbing and unconventional presence to bear in scores of films after his breakthrough role of Hawkeye Pierce, the army surgeon in Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H (1970), one of the key American films of its period. It marked Sutherland out as an iconoclastic figure of the 60s generation, but he matured into an actor who made a speciality of portraying taciturn, self-doubting characters. This was best illustrated in his portrayal of the tormented parent of a drowned girl, seeking solace in a wintry Venice, in Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now (1973), and of the weak, nervous, concerned father of a guilt-ridden teenage boy (Timothy Hutton) in Robert Redford’s Ordinary People (1980).

It may now be hard to imagine, but in 1970, Donald Sutherland, who died Thursday at 88, was the coolest movie star on the planet. The moment I saw him in “M*A*S*H,” I knew he was the person I wanted to be, the same way that I wanted to be Mick Jagger oder Steve McQueen. In 1970, Pacino and De Niro hadn’t happened yet. You could say that Robert Redford and Paul Newman, in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969), had achieved the quintessence of a kind of studio-system cool, inventing the buddy movie.
But in “M*A*S*H,” Donald Sutherland and Elliott Gould, as “Hawkeye” Pierce and “Trapper John” McIntyre, were buddies of a headier, more intoxicating kind. They were so cool that they seemed to stand outside the system, studio or otherwise. They devised their own rules, which came down to this: If you could make fun of the world and everything in it,...

Donald Sutherland, one of the greatest Canadian actors of his generation and a silver screen legend, has died. The actor, who famously starred in M*A*S*H*, Ordinary People, JFK, The Dirty Dozen, Klute, The Hunger Games, and so many more, was 88.
His son, Kiefer Sutherland, an iconic actor in his own right, broke the news on X:
With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film.

Tony Mordente, the actor, dancer and choreographer who starred in the original Broadway and big-screen versions of West Side Story before carving out a long career as a TV director, has died. He was 88.
Mordente, who lived in Henderson, Nevada, died Tuesday, his family announced.
Mordente also worked on Broadway as an actor, understudy and/or assistant choreographer in Li’l Abner, Bye Bye Birdie and Ben Franklin in Paris.
The Brooklyn native portrayed A-Rab on stage in West Side Story, which premiered at the Winter Garden Theatre in September 1957, and played Action, another member of the Jets gang, in the 1961 United Artists adaptation. (David Winters was given the part of A-Rab in the movie.)
He married West Side Story castmate Chita Rivera, who of course played Anita, in December 1957. “A Jet marrying a Shark. It was quite a thing,” he said in a 1963 interview. (Rivera died in January.)

The head of Sky Studios’ Italian fare has spotlighted the challenges behind making a Gomorrah prequel in the highly competitive streaming era.
Emanuele Marchesi delved deep into the highly-anticipated next chapter of the hit gang thriller series during an AVPSummit spotlight session this morning.
He said “the world around us has changed” since the first Gomorrah movie was released in 2008, followed by Roberto Saviano’s smash hit series, which premiered in 2014 and ran for five seasons.
“The competitive frameworks are very different now,” said Marchesi. “We didn’t have streamers back then – Netflix arrived in Italy around 2014 – and now there is huge and numerous drama production.”
Produced by Cattleya, the prequel will enter production next year along with another prequel of a popular Sky Italia series, Romanzo Criminale – La serie.

Kcon, a global K-Pop festival featuring performances and panels, is returning to Los Angeles in July.
The three-day event, taking place at the Crypto.com Arena, L.A. Convention Center and Gilbert Lindsay Plaza in Dtla, will once again give local K-pop fans the chance to see a slew of popular groups under the same roof.
The festival, put on by Cj Enm, officially announced its lineup today (June 5) after having previously released a partial lineup earlier in the week. Acts such as Enhypen, SHINee’s Taemin, Nmixx and P1Harmony are among the groups set to participate.
“Last year’s Kcon L.A. marked a turning point and focused on expanding both the size and scope of Kcon, such as having a major media partner for the first time and we are excited to build on this momentum,” Cj Enm’s head of music entertainment Harry H.K. Shin said in a release,...

The House of M is a storyline that a slew of fans want to see play out in the MCU. Ever since Avengers: Age of Ultron introduced Wanda Maximoff into the MCU, fans have been speculating how Marvel Studios intended to do the storyline without any mutants being around.
Now Mutants are headed into the MCU, and Wanda Maximoff, for all reasons and purposes, has been pronounced dead. How, then, will the Marvel Studios work in the House of M storyline into the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
Scarlet Witch in WandaVision | Marvel Studios
A rule of thumb when it comes to fiction in general, is that if there is no body shown on screen after a character has died, they can be presumed to be alive. Given that there was a very distinct red explosion before Wanda Maximoff was ‘crushed’ by the debris on Wundagore Mountain, there is a very potent...

With Warner Media merging with Discovery back in 2022 and consolidation within the entertainment industry on the rise ever since, many fans of TCM — which is owned by Warner — fear their favorite home for cinema history might fall victim to these drastic cuts. Thankfully the channel continues to sparkle and shine like the Hollywood of old with filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Paul Thomas Anderson jumping on board to help curate and boost recognition of the channel. With their help, other directors have also come aboard — Guillermo del Toro, Wes Anderson, and Jason Reitman to name a few — offering their picks each month in the hopes of bringing in more viewers and keeping the love for classic cinema alive. This month’s curator is multi-hyphenate Viggo Mortensen, whose second directorial effort, “The Dead Don’t Hurt,” was released today.

It’s been 10 years since X-Men: Days of Future Past hit theatres, ushering in an endgame to a universe that would not be replicated until Avengers: Infinity War, four years later. It closed the book in the older generation of X-Men that had carried the franchise until their younger variants had been introduced in X-Men: First Class.

X-Men: Days of Future Past remains one of the most important X-Men films, one that adapts the tragic and brutal Days of Future Past storyline from the comics. It involves Wolverine racing against time to erase the future that has Sentinels hunting and murdering mutants with impunity for the sake of ‘preserving the human race’.

The X-Men are due to make thier appearance in the MCU, and there are a lot of theories as to how they will be integrated into the history of the franchise. Some have suggested that mutants will enter the MCU from a different universe, one that will be assimilated into the sacred timeline. However, another theory has emerged, suggesting that the X-Men have already been part of the MCU.
The X-Men | Marvel Comics
There have been multiple theories about how the X-Men exist in the MCU. Some have suggested that Charles Xavier is responsible for hiding mutants in the MCU, while others say that the mutants will slowly emerge now that The Blip has been undone. There is one theory that suggests that not only have mutants always existed in the MCU, but some sort of cataclysmic event wiped them out from the memories of the general public.

Everyone knows that CBS is America's most watched network, and it's home to many extremely popular long-running shows. The example that we all know for sure is The Big Bang Theory, and of course, how can we live without NCIS, right?
But before they became the most popular shows in the world, there were many other amazingly crafted projects on CBS – the ones that are still considered genre-defining or groundbreaking pieces of television.
Here are 5 old but gold shows you need to watch right now to feel the brilliance of days gone by.
1. Magnum, P.I. (1980)
Missed Tom Selleck's mustache? Well, time to check out the young version of it. In Magnum, P.I., the actor plays Detective Thomas Sullivan, a former Navy lieutenant and Vietnam Special Forces veteran who resigned his commission at the age of thirty-three. The main reason? To move to Hawaii and live the life he never had when he was younger.

If you’re not caught up on your peak TV viewing, consider this your spoiler warning. Four months have passed since Jennifer Coolidge bagged her second consecutive Emmy for “The White Lotus” and thus became the eighth drama or comedy series regular honored by the TV academy for a season in which her character died. Emmy nominations of this kind have become quite common in recent years, and it’s possible that over 15% of the 2024 lead and supporting continuing series contenders will be added to the list.
The current consensus among more than 2,400 Gold Derby users is that five continuing series performers whose characters perished within the past year will receive Emmy nominations, while a few others have outside shots at recognition. This does not include characters like Anakin Skywalker who died before their shows’ latest seasons began but appear as ghosts or in flashbacks. Undead characters like most of...
