The 51st Telluride Film Festival promises to be a star-studded affair, with several high-profile movies expected to debut at the top of awards season.
As is customary, the full lineup, including screening schedules, isn’t announced until the day before the festival begins. This year’s festivities take place from Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. So longtime attendees, both press and cinephile enthusiasts, now look to the classifications of movies playing at Venice, Toronto and New York Film Festivals to gather clues on what could be shown during the Colorado-set festival.
The Toronto Film Festival lineup provides reliable clues. The labels for the films as “World,” “International,” “North American,” or “Canadian” premieres offer the most significant hints on what might stop at Telluride during the Labor Day weekend festivities. The timing of TIFF (Sept. 5 to Sept. 15) leaves no other festivals to claim the premiere designations beforehand, making these guesses quite reliable, give or take any last-minute changes.

Former Netflix film head Scott Stuber has closed a deal with Amazon MGM Studios to relaunch the United Artists label and finance and release features from his new production company.
The arrangement includes a first-look deal with Amazon MGM Studios and will see Stuber based on the Culver City lot, producing several films a year under the UA label for release theatrically and on Prime Video.
Stuber will be involved in all projects released by the new UA including those that do not originate from his company. UA was launched in 1919 by Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks...

Updated: Amazon MGM has confirmed the Scott Stuber hire. Find their release below Deadline’s break on the story.
Previously, 7:55 Am Pt: Former Netflix Chairman Film and Universal Vice Chairman Scott Stuber is near a deal to revive United Artists under the Amazon MGM umbrella, sources said.
Stuber left in January, though he stayed on a bit to help the transition that led to former Warner Bros exec Dan Lin taking the film reins at the streamer. Stuber was expected to form his own company, and Deadline revealed that his first project would be Deliver Me From Nowhere. That is the Scott Cooper-directed film that will star Emmy winning The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen. The film covers how the singer came out of the depths of depression writing and recording his seminal album Nebraska. 20th Century’s David Greenbaum and Steve Asbell landed the film in heated competition,...

Of all the below-the-line categories at the Oscars, Best Original Score is the most difficult to predict early on due to the finicky nature of the music branch of the academy. Scores that sound like frontrunners are disqualified for a variety of reasons, from the number of credited composers to the amount of previously recorded music used. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Original Score.)
Starting with the 2019 Oscars, the academy released a shortlist of 15 contenders. We got this year’s roster of semi-finalists on December 17, 2024. A second round of voting by the members of the music branch, again using preferential voting, will cut these 15 down to the final five nominees. These will be announced, along with the final contenders in all of the other competitive categories on January 17. The entire voting membership of the academy will then vote for the winners, which will be revealed...

Apple TV+’s debut German original drama Where’s Wanda? will launch globally on Wednesday, October 2.
The first two episodes will drop that day, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through to November 13.
The series was Apple’s first German scripted series order and the industry has been awaiting its launch, with some suggesting its success or otherwise will color how the global streamer approaches commissioning in the country going forwards. “The show has been in post for ages, and everyone is really hoping is does well when it launches,” a source in Germany told us this summer as part of our deep dive into German TV drama.

The year 2022 in film, looking back, was a year of Grandiosity. Yes, Grandiosity, with a capital G. In this year’s Best Picture category, we have such hits as ‘Avatar 2: The Way of Water’, ‘Elvis’, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, and ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, whose title itself even nods to Grandiosity.

As is the case with most below-the-line Oscar categories, bigger equals better when it comes to Best Production Design. The more lavish the sets, the more accurate the period detail, the more extravagant the designs, the more likely your film will win an Academy Award. Formerly known as Best Art Direction/Set Decoration, this prize goes to the production designer and set decorator, leaving the poor art directors on the outside looking in; perhaps that accounts for the title change. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Production Design.)
This prize is often paired with Best Costume Design. Most recently, “Poor Things” pulled off this double play (Zsuzsa Mihalek was the winning production designer). It joined 10 other films this century to claim both prizes. Here’s the breakdown with the production designers names in brackets.

What a difference a year makes.
After being the first major film festival to navigate the choppy waters of programming huge world premieres at a time when most actors were on strike last year, the Venice Film Festival is back for its 81st edition with a lineup of showy projects. This time, stars like George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, and Lady Gaga can actually come out to the Lido to support them.
Focusing on the 21 competition titles (down two from last year), the most expected entrants were Luca Guadanigno’s “Queer,” Pablo Larrain’s “Maria,” and Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Room Next Door” (his first English-language feature). Led by Daniel Craig, Jolie, and Tilda Swinton, respectively, each film arrives with awards hopes baked in already — especially considering the filmmakers’ track records with directing Oscar-nominated performances. While “The Room Next Door” furthers Almodóvar’s long-running relationship with distributor Sony Pictures Classics,...

U.S. journalist and filmmaker Michael Premo’s doc “Homegrown,” which follows a group of supremacist Donald Trump supporters from the 2020 campaign trail all the way to the attack on the U.S. Capitol, is among titles set to world premiere at the Venice Film Festival’s Critics’ Week.
Brooklyn-born Premo played a significant role in Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Sandy’s hurricane response effort.
The out-of-competition opener of the section dedicated to first works is French director Aude Léa Rapin’s “Planet B,” a cyberpunk sci-fi film starring Adèle Exarchopoulos (“Blue Is the Warmest Color”) about a group of political activists in 2039 France who, pursued by the state, vanish without a trace only to reawaken “trapped in an entirely unfamiliar world,” according to the provided synopsis.

Edward Berger’s follow-up to All Quiet On The Western Front is Conclave – and here’s the trailer for the movie.
Off the back of the huge critical success of 2022’s All Quiet On The Western Front, director Edward Berger likely found himself with lots of options.
The director is certainly enjoying a bit of a moment, with some sources suggesting that he could be given the keys to the James Bond franchise next and tasked with successfully conceiving a new 007 to fill the rather large (and impeccably tasteful) shoes vacated by Daniel Craig.
Whether that comes to pass or not though, Berger’s next film to release will be Conclave, a papal drama set in the Vatican that centres around the secret process of selecting a new Pope after the death of the previous incumbent.
The filmmaker has drawn on some heavyweight talent for this adaptation. The source material is a Robert Harris book,...

Forget Pulp Fiction — how about some Pope fiction? Yes folks, following the Oscar- and BAFTA-award winning success of Edward Berger's anti-war epic All Quiet On The Western Front, the feted filmmaker is turning his attention from trench warfare to Catholic conspiracy with Conclave, an all-star adaptation of Robert Harris' international bestseller papal thriller. Ralph Fiennes leads the line-up for this one as Cardinal Lawrence, the man responsible for selecting a new Pope after the last one's death. It's a hard task made harder by some secretive shenanigans in the Vatican, as is evidenced in the gripping first trailer for the film. Check it out:
Gorgeous sets courtesy of Rome's legendary Cinecittà studios. Lavish production design. Acting heavyweights everywhere you turn. Volker Bertelmann back on scoring duties. Pardon the blasphemy but Jesus Christ this looks impressive! "No sane man would want the papacy. The men who are dangerous are the ones who do want it.

"This is a conclave, Aldo, not a war." "It Is a war. And you have to commit to a side!" Focus Features has revealed the first official trailer for the film titled Conclave, a papacy thriller from the German filmmaker, Edward Berger, behind the Oscar-nominated All Quiet on the Western Front a few years ago. This will likely premiere at both the 2024 Venice & Telluride Film Festivals this fall, though they haven't confirmed it just yet. Based on the book by Robert Harris: "The pope is dead. Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, one hundred and eighteen cardinals from all over the globe will gather to cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they are also not immune to the human temptations of power and glory. And they are not above the tribalism and factionalism that consumes humanity. When all is said and done,...

Der neue Film von Edward Berger zählt zu den mit am meisten Spannung erwarteten Filmprojekten des Restjahres. Jetzt gibt es einen ersten Trailer seiner Robert-Harris-Verfilmung „Conclave“, seine erste Arbeit seit dem Oscarerfolg von „Im Westen nichts Neues“.
Wo wird „Conclave“ Weltpremiere feiern? Venedig? Telluride? Toronto? Wird er direkt in die Kinos kommen? Alles noch unbeantwortet. Jetzt kann man zumindest einen ersten Blick werfen auf Edward Bergers erste Regiearbeit seit seinem weltweiten Sensationserfolg „Im Westen nichts Neues“, der Oscars gewann, bei den Globes punktete und bei den BAFTA Wards abräumt und nur beim Deutschen Filmpreis nicht gut genug war für Gold, eine Verfilmung des Thriller-Romans von Robert Harris über ein mörderisches Konklave mit Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tucci und Isabella Rossellini. Der Film wird hoch gehandelt in den USA, und das nicht erst seitdem Berger als aktueller Frontrunner für die Regie des kommenden Bond-Films gehandelt wird.

Ralph Fiennes takes the pulpit in Edward Berger’s new thriller “Conclave,” the upcoming Focus Features release that stands among the early awards favorites this year. On Thursday, the studio released the first trailer for “Conclave,” Berger’s follow-up to the Oscar-winning “All Quiet on the Western Front.”
Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Robert Harris and adapted for the screen by Peter Straughan, “Conclave” focuses on Cardinal Lawrence (Fiennes) who is tasked with leading the selection process for a new pope after the current church leader dies unexpectedly. “Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the center of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church,” reads a synopsis by Focus.

The German government has pledged to add a plan for a new tax incentive program to its 2025 budget aimed at attracting more international productions to shoot in the country.
The deal, announced Friday, would provide a rebate of up to 30 percent on German production costs for films and high-end series, with funding coming from the federal government and the states. Pending approval from the cabinet, parliament and state governments, the new scheme could go into effect as early as Jan. 1, 2025.
Industry groups have been lobbying Berlin for months to improve the country’s incentive system, complaining that Germany is no longer competitive with neighboring European countries with more generous programs. Germany’s film studios, in particular, see the incentive as key to attracting international productions that are increasingly choosing to shoot instead in Spain or Eastern Europe.

Daniel Brühl went to “Eden” and survived to tell the tale.
“I can’t compare it to any of my films. I’ve never done anything like it,” he says, teasing Ron Howard’s upcoming thriller. “Two days ago, I was doing the dubbing and saw Jude Law giving me a hard time on screen. We are both giving each other a hard time in this film.”
Shot in Australia – “We shot in nature, in the wilderness. All of it!” – it also features Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby and Sydney Sweeney as a group of people heading to the Galápagos Islands. Hans Zimmer composed the score.
“Tonally, it’s very eerie and very influenced by its setting. Ron and I, we have been talking a lot about Peter Weir’s films and the wonderful ‘Walkabout’ by Nicolas Roeg. There is this connection to nature, which is similar to [Howard’s previous film] ‘Thirteen Lives.

During a roundtable interview at this year’s Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, where star Daniel Brühl is being feted with the Kviff President’s Award, the actor-director-producer recalled the “very bittersweet memories” of his directorial debut, the dark German comedy “Next Door,” being chosen for competition at the 71st Berlin International Film Festival, only for the festival to be held virtually that year. Three years later, as part of Kviff’s celebration of Brühl’s career, “Next Door” is set to screen at the Grand Hall, the festival’s premiere venue, with a proper in-person audience.
Inspired by an idea that came to him while dining in a restaurant in Spain a decade ago, Brühl’s prickly film combines a meta examination of movie stardom with a stark critique of rampant gentrification. The two-hander stars Brühl as an egotistical actor, also named Daniel, who stops into a local Berlin...

There was no rain after a morning drizzle. Instead, German-Spanish star Daniel Brühl (Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, All Quiet on the Western Front) was showered with love, appreciation and much applause as he arrived on the red carpet at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (Kviff) on Thursday afternoon. The love fest continued inside when he received the Kviff President’s Award in the jam-packed Grand Hall of the Hotel Thermal, which serves as the fest’s headquarters, and presented his 2021 directorial debut Next Door.
After charming the audience with a Czech thank you, followed by a German thank you, and an English thank you “from the bottom of my heart,” Brühl told the people in attendance: “This is the most beautiful statuette. It’s more beautiful than the Oscar.” The crowd erupted into loud applause and wild cheers.

Who will direct the next Bond film? David Michôd and Kelly Marcel are reportedly in contention, as well as All Quiet On The Western Front’s Edward Berger.
Yesterday came a report that Edward Berger, director of the horrors-of-war epic All Quiet On The Western Front, is among the names being considered for the next James Bond film.
To that list we can now reportedly add Kelly Marcel (pictured), who’s currently putting the finishing touches to this autumn’s Venom: The Last Dance, and David Michod, who broke through in 2010 with his acclaimed crime drama, Animal Kingdom.
This latest report comes from Jeff Sneider, who seconds World of Reel’s earlier story that Berger is currently being considered by Eon and producer Barbara Broccoli.

Daniel Brühl is getting back behind the camera to direct “Break,” a biopic about the tennis champion Gottfried von Cramm whose rise to stardom in the 1930s saw him face off with the Nazi regime in his native Germany.
“All Quiet on the Western” front star Felix Kammerer will lead the feature, which reunites the actor, Bruhl and the team behind the Oscar-winning WWI drama. “Break” is based on a screenplay by Hossein Amini from Marshall Jon Fisher’s “A Terrible Splendor: Three Extraordinary Men, a World Poised for War, and the Greatest Tennis Match Ever Played.”
The Ink Factory (“The Pigeon Tunnel,” “The Night Manager”) and their partners Marc Platt and Adam Siegel for Marc Platt Productions are teaming with Malte Grunert for Amusement Park (“All Quiet on the Western Front”) and Edward Berger (“All Quiet on the Western Front”) for Nine Hours on the picture, which will be told in German and English.

The State of the Race
If the previous decade saw a trend of Best Picture winners that felt esoteric to the greater public (i.e. “The Artist”), then the new trend shaping what is pegged to win the most prestigious category at the Academy Awards is much more focused on what resonates with a wider crowd. Think about it as films we did not realize would unite us going in, given whatever unconventional elements they are offering.
“Coda” was something to watch with the whole family, and was a new take on depicting disabilities on screen.

The State of the Race
The 97th annual Academy Awards are fast approaching, meaning it is already time to try and determine what film can fill the shoes of Best Picture winner and box office phenomenon “Oppenheimer.”
Already the year has been characterized by an unpredictable box office turnout that has seen films meant to be massive blockbusters come and go. Festivals like Sundance and Cannes have given the film community some hope, with titles like “A Real Pain,” “Anora,” and “Emilia Pérez” pleasing crowds and collecting awards.

Netflix’s Emea chief has described his Los Gatos overlords as “very hands off” when it comes to content strategy outside the U.S.
Speaking to journalists at a Netflix site tour in Spain, Larry Tanz said the days when Money Heist creator Álex Pina had to “literally fly to LA to pitch a show so that he could make it in Spain” are long gone, as he talked up the streamer’s latest wave of local content.
Instead, creatives are now pitching shows in Spanish to local content chief Diego Ávalos, explained Tanz, “and that’s true in [territories like] Germany and Italy.”
“Creators used to have to figure out a way to break into Hollywood just so they could realize their creative vision,” said Tanz, who was speaking a day after Netflix opened an office around the corner from its Tres Cantos studio in Madrid. “Some companies still operate that...

From his early days as an actor, Matt Damon has proven his versatility in every role he plays. Good Will Hunting, Courage Under Fire, and The Rainmaker showed his range as a dramatic performer. Damon diversified his filmography and started venturing into action films with the first Jason Bourne film in 2002.

The first three films of the franchise were released in quick succession till 2007. Damon did not return as Bourne for almost a decade and it seems it was a deliberate decision made by him and the franchise director. Both of them wanted to see how the world would change in that time and reflect that on their return in 2016.

Matt Damon made his Hollywood debut in 1997, as Will Hunting in the Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting. Since then, he has made appearances in many other movies, including the hit action franchise, Bourne. After five movies, one of which Damon missed out on, the series took a break. But now, it looks like things are back in gear.

According to Matt Damon, director Edward Berger of All Quiet on the Western Front has an idea for the next instalment of the Bourne franchise after fans thought we had come to an end with Jason Bourne in 2016. But given Damon is currently 53 years old, it would be quite the task for the actor to reprise the role of the spy. And we already know he is not doing at least one thing in the move if it ever happens.

Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof is set to attend the Cannes premiere of his latest feature, The Seed Of The Sacred Fig, after receiving an eight-year prison sentence from Iranian authorities and fleeing his home country.
Speculation had been rife that the dissident director would attend the festival when the film receives its world premiere in Competition on Friday (May 24), having found asylum in Germany, but Cannes’ general delegate Thierry Fremaux has now confirmed his attendance.
“We are particularly touched to welcome [Rasoulof] here as a filmmaker,” Fremaux said in a statement to Agence France-Presse (Afp).

German Films celebrated its 70th anniversary at Cannes on Sunday, with its guests looking back but also looking forward.
“It has gotten much better,” Managing Director Simone Baumann told Variety at the event.
“We’ve had Oscar-winning ‘All Quiet on the Western Front,’ Oscar-nominated ‘The Teachers’ Lounge’ [for best international feature], films by Wim Wenders and with Sandra Hüller! Sure, Wim showed a Japanese movie and Sandra a French one [‘Perfect Days’ and ‘Anatomy of a Fall’], but it doesn’t matter: It’s more ‘mixed’ these days and I am proud of it, to be honest.”
At Cannes, 14 German productions and co-productions have been selected this year, including Match Factory’s main competition offerings “Motel Destino” by Karim Aïnouz – who also attended the bash – and Miguel Gomes’ “Grand Tour.” Run Way Pictures is behind Mohammad Rasoulof’s anticipated “The Seed of the Sacred Fig.”
As festivals get “more competitive,” underlines Baumann, international collabs are here to stay.
