New Films in Production, v.2

[Never Cursed]

Lele Pons’ “Celoso.”... I don’t know anything about Rudy Mancuso apart from gathering that he’s also a YouTuber. But based on what he does with very little money here, give this guy $5 million to make a feature length musical and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gave us back a masterpiece....

You may well have wished this into being! Mancuso is set to write, direct, and compose an original musical for Amazon starring himself and, uh, Riverdale's Camila Mendes

[domino harvey]

Very excited to see what he can do in this arena!

John Cleese joins new Polanski film The Palace shooting in Switzerland

[therewillbeblus]

Adam Sandler confirmed he's reteaming with the Safdie brothers on a new project, giving no details other than "it's different" (presumably in reference to the tone of their last two cinematic heart-attacks)

[Matt]

It would be great to see him in something like Daddy Longlegs, as a character closer to those he's played in PTA's and Noah Baumbach's films.

[therewillbeblus]

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. I love all three perfs, but his most understated take in The Meyerowitz Stories is my favorite

[therewillbeblus]

Uwe Boll will return to directing to make Ness, about Eliot Ness' later career

[Never Cursed]

Cinema is saved!

[therewillbeblus]

Hey, there's a nonzero chance I'll like it more than Dune, which was the "cinema is saved!" movie for most of the world post-lockdown, so...

Darius Khondji will be the cinematographer.

Apparently some people who actually exist in the same reality as mine: “Drat!”

Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey: A Winnie the Pooh slasher movie that's come about because anyone can do what they want now that it's in the public domain. No, this is not a joke

Aki Kaurismaki shooting 19th feature, Dead Leaves end of August

[soundchaser]

Just yesterday I was thinking “wow, I guess Kaurismaki wasn’t kidding about his last feature.” Anyone else folks would like me to bring out of retirement?

Lynch- Just don't post about it on the internet or he'll shelve the project

[brundlefly]

A few weeks old, but Chloe Okuno's next is slated to concern the Dating Game winner who was a serial killer. (Universal background checks for firearms and game show contestants, please.) For Netflix, starring Anna Kendrick.

Great hook but, as that original footage is deep cringe and no serial killing took place as a result of the show, am curious to see how severely events will be re-worked. Colors on that set would present a severe aesthetic shift from Watcher.

It was looking pretty bleak for both David Lynch and David Cronenberg for a long while, so we've been lucky to get at least one more film out of both. John Waters may be done with filmmaking by choice, but would be a great surprise if he got to do another one (would have to get a sizeable budget too given his past statements on why he has no interest in making another film anymore).

John McNaughton and Michael Rooker collaborating again on new film Road Rage

John McNaughton:

The film “will center on a serial killer who only kills those who deserve to die—presenting a modern hero who is a bad guy gone good, protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty.”

“I’d wanted to work with Michael Rooker again since Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, but we never got the chance. Finally, I wrote a story that took the genre in a whole new direction,” McNaughton told the outlet. “Michael Rooker as Stony; he drives a truck… and kills people. Stony is the ultimate serial killer… with a twist, and he’s going home now after twenty years, to settle a score from the past.”
