The Oscar nominee stars in Zach Braff’s latest drama “A Good Person” as Allison, a woman who survives a fatal accident and forms an unlikely relationship with her would-be father-in-law played by Morgan Freeman. Braff writes, directs, and produces the New Jersey-set feature. Pugh also makes her producing debut with the film, which serves as a reunion for Freeman and director Braff after 2017’s “Going in Style.” Molly Shannon, Celeste O’Connor, Zoe Lister-Jones, and Chinaza Uche round out the cast....

“I have to give credit on that scene to Quinta Brunson and [writer] Justin Tan, specifically,” Williams said to IndieWire during a recent phone interview. “This was the scene that we talked about quite a bit, that I was actually nervous about pulling off because there are so many turns in a 30-minute episode. Gregory has been very reserved, and how do we have this expression of self that happens in 22 minutes?...

Set on a fantasy planet where only women can survive the harsh climate, the adventure follows a mother and daughter on a grueling journey to find and kill the evil “Kate Bush,” rumored to be death herself. One part “Annihilation” and one part “The Love Witch,” and cast under the veneer of a sadistic “The NeverEnding Story,” the film creates a lush — sometimes grotesque — alternate universe ruled by unique rules, creatures, and longings....

Last year’s ASC winner was Roger Deakins for “1917.” Deakins also won the ASC prize for “Blade Runner 2049.” In both cases, the legendary DP went on to win the Oscar for Best Cinematography.

“Another Round” would reunite him with Mads Mikkelsen, following their acclaimed collaboration on “The Hunt,” and serve as the debut performance of Vinterberg’s daughter, Ida. Mikkelsen was playing a disillusioned high school history teacher who confronts a midlife crisis through day drinking, and Ida Vinterberg would play his concerned teen. Vinterberg planned to shoot the movie at Ida’s high school and populate the ensemble with her friends, envisioning a unique seriocomic generational conflict grounded in the naturalism of its backdrop....

To make his sequel, which is primarily set in the oceans of Pandora, Cameron had to spend years developing new technology that would allow him to film motion capture sequences under water. The high costs of doing that inflated the film’s budget to the point where Cameron expects it will have to be one of the top five highest grossing movies of all time just to break even.
