Keanu Reeves Brings ‘John Wick: Chapter 4’ First Look To Lionsgate’s CinemaCon Presentation

Megalopolis, featuring Adam Driver, Nathalie Emmanuel, Forest Whitaker, Laurence Fishburne and Jon Voight.Coppola, whose last film was 2011 horror Twixt, is self-funding the film with a budget at just under $100million. He’ll both write and direct the project.A synopsis reads: “The fate of Rome haunts a modern world unable to solve its own social problems in this epic story of political ambition, genius and conflicted love.”Coppola previously discussed financing the project with The Hollywood Reporter, saying: “There’s a certain way everyone thinks a film should be, and it rubs against the grain if you have another idea.

Francis Ford has long discussed directing one last epic film to add to a cinematic legacy that includes “Apocalypse Now” and the “Godfather” trilogy, and his long-in-gestation passion project “Megalopolis” is now taking shape.

Peacock today unveiled They/Them, a new Blumhouse pic starring Kevin Bacon (City on a Hill), Anna Chlumsky (Inventing Anna), Carrie Preston (Claws), Theo Germaine (4400), Austin Crute (Call Your Mother), Monique Kim (What/If), Anna Lore (All American), Cooper Koch (Power Book II: Ghost) and Darwin del Fabro (Dangerous Liaisons), which will debut on the streamer on August 5th.

With a reported $100 million budget independently financed by Coppola after he sold off a portion of his wine company, “Megalopolis” has been described by the five-time Oscar-winning filmmaker as an argument for optimism in the face of overwhelming societal challenges with an “epic story of political ambition, genius, and conflicting interests.” Attorney Barry Hirsch will handle sales for the film on Coppola’s behalf. Driver, who was last seen in Ridley Scott’s “The Last Duel” and “House of Gucci,” is set to star next year in “65,” a mysterious sci-fi film from “A Quiet Place” co-writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods.

Given that Francis Ford Coppola‘s independently-financed $100 million-plus budgeted passion project film “Megalopolis,” is one he’s been talking about for over two decades at least—a project he once abandoned and only recently came back to —when news arrived that Oscar Isaac had ultimately passed on the lead role, it made lots of cinephiles dying to see the project very nervous. Well, chalk that set back up to a blip as the director of “The Godfather” trilogy and “Apocalypse Now” has not only found a new leading man, but a whole new supporting cast as well.

More than 20 years in the making, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis has set its star cast. Adam Driver, Forest Whitaker, Nathalie Emmanuel (Game of Thrones and Fast X), Jon Voight and Laurence Fishburne have been set for the main roles. Fishburne began his career with Coppola at the tender age of 14 in Apocalypse Now. Legend has it he was of legal age when the film got released.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are both happy in new relationships, but people can’t help but compare them. Affleck has of course, rekindled the flame with Jennifer Lopez while Garner is dating John Miller. An insider recently talked to US Weekly, where they called the relationships, “very different.”Miller is an under-the-radar businessman, and attorney, and a source told the outlet, “She loves how little he cares for the limelight or the whole Hollywood scenester stuff.” Of course, having two superstars in a relationship is going to be different and at the end of the day, all that matters is everyone is happy.

Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves nearly reunited for “The Lost City”.

Keanu Reeves was considered for Brad Pitt’s role in "The Lost City," the film’s directors have revealed. When directors Adam and Aaron Nee spoke with Screen Rant about Pitt’s role in the film, the duo shared that they were uncertain if they would be able to cast Pitt and had other stars in mind, including Reeves. "I think we thought it was gonna be Keanu Reeves initially, but he was tied up with ‘John Wick,’ and that's where we were like, 'Brad was always our first choice,'" Adam shared with the outlet.

EXCLUSIVE: Oscar winner Halle Berry (Monster’s Ball) is set to star in thriller Mother Land for Arrival and Stranger Things outfit 21 Laps. Lionsgate will launch sales on the hot package at next week’s Cannes market.

The Tony Awards Administration Committee met for the last time before Monday’s nomination announcements, making some final eligibility determinations for shows including the stars of American Buffalo, Hangmen and How I Learned To Drive, among others.

Uncharted debuts straight in at Number 1 on the Official Film Chart.

You know who’s a good boy? The faithful and loyal pet that saves its master. That’s basically the premise of Warner Bros’/DC Films’ “DC League of Super-Pets” which stars Dwayne Johnson as the voice of Krypto the Super-Dog.

Not subtle. Emma Kenney wasn’t thrilled by Ansel Elgort‘s appearance at the 2022 Met Gala — and she wasn’t afraid to call it out.

After spending the entire week trapped in the bowels of a smoke-filled, maskless, jam-packed Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for CinemaCon, and after sitting through the various studio presentations in search of possible clues to what might be in play for the 95th annual Academy Awards, I can say two of the names we are very likely to hear about might be two of the most unexpected: Tom Cruise and Harvey Weinstein. I am not hallucinating. I will get to both in a second, but first I have to say Oscar pundits don’t really travel to this annual exhibitors convention with any realistic expectations of seeing major awards contenders.
