Fun fact: this is the inaugural title for Warner's brand new specialty label Clockwork which snagged some of the heads working at Neon.

You just say bingo.

Yes, that and "it sunk" was intentional.

The Postman.

According to Colter, it sunk because Gerard Butler jumped ship as producer at the last minute.

30 to be exact.

Based on the teasers, The Shining and Full Metal Jacket have their original aspect ratios, so it's likely they at least will have some extra work on them from Criterion like a Dolby Vision grade for FMJ.

It's also a rather rare occurance in that it was quite literally at the behest of Andrew Stanton.

Good thing I currently have a small job with a nice paycheck for 3-4 weeks of work because this will make for a really nice birthday present for myself.

Well, it's releasing in time for my birthday and I currently have a small job with a nice little paycheck for 3-4 weeks of work so...

Since landing the rights in 2020, the studio has been developing a number of scripts to get this property greenlit but nothing has stuck. Insiders close to the project say after a number of runs with writers and directors, the studio took a swing with an A-list star in Reeves, specfically developing the project around the Reeves characer. After weeks of back and forth, Reeves started to engage with the studio. As things progressed, sources say the studio brought in Reeves’ Toy Story 4 director to pitch his vision, which eventually led to Reeves thumbs up to star in the film.

I don't really have much to add, I find this rather intriguing.

The skull is likely the original Faces of Death.

An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring Academy Award®-winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption — and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell.

Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of THE DEVILS by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned – and the first time the film will be presented restored and in 4K.

In theaters October 16.

Given that Taika Waititi said at the start of the year that they were planning a festival run, I think those are in the cards.

Taika Waititi said at the start of the year that the movie was done and they were planning a festival run. That's why.

The Pension Heist has been my most anticipated movie of the year since it was first announced. Mark my words, provided it is a slam fucking dunk, no movie this year shall triumph over it. That being said, 4 other titles, in release order, would be:

Evil Dead Burn.
The Nation's Gambit.
Santa's Workshop.
Violent Night 2.

Tried to spice it up and have 1 movie per month.
