The competition will be fierce, with arthouse juggernauts such as “TÁR” and “Aftersun” facing off against indie blockbusters like “Everything Everywhere All at Once” for top prizes....

“If this is still going on next Halloween? No, we’re not holding it,” Blum said. “‘Halloween Kills’ is coming out next October come hell or high water, vaccine or no vaccine. It is coming out.” “Halloween Kills” and “The Forever Purge” were the two Blumhouse franchise titles that bumped into 2021 as a result of the pandemic. The studio’s “Craft” reboot, “The Craft: Legacy,” went a different course by abandoning its planned theatrical release for a PVOD launch on October 31....

“It’s incredibly gratifying and free to be using characters that are considered villains because you just have so much more leeway,” Halpern said. “A perfect example of that is in this third season of ‘Harley’ [when] we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’ They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’ So, we said, ‘Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?...

And looking out to 2024, it seems that little is likely to change. Of the roughly 290 studio films on the calendar through 2024, as of today, just 25 of them are or will be directed by people of color....

In a new interview with Insider, Columbus rails against the idea of rebooting his beloved comedy favorite. The director revealed nobody from the Disney+ production got in touch with him about jumpstarting a new “Home Alone” television franchise — not that Columbus thinks a “Home Alone” reboot is needed. “It’s a waste of time as far as I’m concerned. What’s the point?” Columbus said. “I’m a firm believer that you don’t remake films that have had the longevity of ‘Home Alone....

One technician grabbed a radio and a pair of wireless headphones as he wandered the open field, making sure that the audio transmission from the movie would play well for the 200 cars expected to fill the space the next night. Rooftop Films artistic director Dan Nuxoll, who had spent the last several weeks sorting through the logistics of the event, watched the strange scene unfold. “We’ve worked with everyone — every park, everywhere you might possibly show a movie in New York City,” he said....
