Early on in Harmony Korine’s new experimental action film Aggro Dr1ft, hitman protagonist Bo (Jordi Mollà) strangles a guy to death in his pool. Or maybe that happens toward the end. And, come to think of it, that might have been a hot tub. You’ll have to forgive my confusion, because the movie is defiantly nonlinear, shot entirely in the garish neons of infrared vision, and not anchored in any baseline reality: the moment he snuffs out this man, Bo unleashes a gigantic Balrog-like kaiju that appears to...

"I was born to kill." Edglrd has revealed some footage for this infrared hitman film. Feast your eyes on the official trailer for Harmony Korine's Aggro Dr1ft, one of the stupidest films ever made. Yes, seriously. Even though I may hate it, this trailer is worth sharing just so you can see how bad it is in order to help save your time & money. Aggro Dr1ft premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival last year and I hated it - here's my full review. In this sensual experimental elegy by Harmony Korine, spellbinding infrared photography evokes a dreamlike portrait of a tormented assassin. It's shot in and presented entirely as infrared footage, with annoying, blaring sound and music that will make you want to drive right off a cliff... Starring Jordi Mollà and Travis Scott, who I am sure both regret participating in this utterly awful hitman project. It's so terrible it even features A.

Rapper Travis Scott recently teamed up with the entertainment company A24 and director Harmony Korine (Kids) on two different projects. One was Circus Maximus, a companion piece to Scott’s album Utopia that reached theatres the day before Utopia was released. The other is the “action-oriented feature” Aggro Dr1ft, which was shot entirely in infrared and has been making the festival rounds. JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray wasn’t very impressed with Aggro Dr1ft after catching one of its festival screenings, giving it a 5/10 review that can be read Here. Next up is a February 7th screening at a strip club in Los Angeles called Crazy Girls (tickets are available at This Link), and in anticipation of that screening a trailer for the film has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.

The newest film from Harmony Korine is titled Aggro Dr1ft, and it looks to be a bizarre piece of experimental cinema that will surely prove divisive.
Aggro Dr1ft explores the onslaught of digital ephemera and interrogates modern life through the vernacular of video games. Shot entirely through an infrared lens, the film follows a Miami Beach hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target.
Watch the official trailer below.
Joe Lipsett explained in his festival review of Aggro Dr1ft for Bloody Disgusting, “Harmony Korine has always been a provocateur, so it’s hardly surprising that his latest film, Aggro Dr1ft, is unconventional. The 80-minute feature is filmed entirely in infrared thermal imaging, which means the production is wall-to-wall vibrant reds, yellows, blues, and neon greens.”
Joe’s review continues, “Ultimately this is avant-garde, countercultural cinema that was never intended to appeal to the masses. As an artistic experiment,...

When Harmony Korine announced plans to form Edglrd, a Florida-based multimedia collective aiming to produce films, video games, and other new media experiments that blur the line between traditional categories, it felt like a logical step in the filmmaking maverick’s creative evolution. The “Spring Breakers” director has been open about his boredom with conventional films and his newfound interest in the gaming industry, saying that the “Call of Duty” trailer “looks better than anything Spielberg’s ever done.”
“Aggro DR1FT,” the first film project from Edglrd, is an extension of that creative ethos. Shot with infrared cameras, the film starring Jordi Mollà and Travis Scott uses thermal imagery and AI-generated animations to tell a story about a Miami hitman trapped in a criminal underworld that looks like nothing we’ve ever seen in movie theaters.
Fittingly, the first non-festival audiences to see “Aggro DR1FT” won’t actually do so in movie theaters.

Rapper Travis Scott stars in the first trailer for his and director Harmony Korine’s indie film “Aggro Dr1ft,” which was shot entirely in infrared.
The short trailer is bathed in the starkly contrasted colors of the infrared lens, and it follows an assassin on his journey. “Breaking away from the traditional parameters of cinema, ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ explores the onslaught of digital ephemera and interrogates modern life through the vernacular of video games. Shot entirely through an infrared lens, the film follows a Miami Beach hitman as he embarks on the relentless pursuit of his next target,” reads the logline.
“As it is, ‘Aggro Dr1ft’ is visually thrilling but somewhat tedious to sit through — better as wallpaper than the main attraction,” wrote Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge in his review. “Still, as with James Cameron’s ‘Avatar,’ there’s wisdom in the generic quality of his script.

Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft cedes control of its images to pure vibes. The film was shot entirely in thermal vision, resulting in a hallucinatory aesthetic of neon colors that simultaneously assaults and seduces the senses. The experience is akin to being locked in the disorienting Pov of the Predator for 80 minutes. Coupled with an aggressive electronic soundscape courtesy of American DJ AraabMuzik, Korine’s film is a Miami Vice-on-acid stupor that’s less concerned with antiquated notions of coherent storytelling than in transporting (or perhaps banishing) audiences into another physiological realm altogether.
Jordi Mollà plays Bo, the self-proclaimed “best assassin in the world,” who’s nevertheless undergoing some kind of psychological or spiritual crisis—as indicated by his habitually troubled narration. Bailing on the next job given to him by his crime-lord boss, Pepe (Stet Blancett), he instead turns his sights toward killing his nemesis, a physically...

Aggro Dr1ft A seasoned hitman navigates Miami’s underbelly on a relentless pursuit of his next target. A gun for hire embarks on a killing spree after his contractors threaten his loved ones. A man impersonates an assassin to put people behind bars… Ten days into my Venice trip, I started sensing a pattern. Hitmen and murderers were nearly as omnipresent as the biopics that stashed the festival’s slates, but the strongest titles I saw on the Lido all seemed to treat genre as something malleable: a means to interrogate the scope and limits of the medium, and push it toward new, exciting paths.So it was for Harmony Korine’s Aggro Dr1ft, a film so shamelessly proud to be its own deranged thing it more than made up for all those I saw and immediately forgot the minute a vaporetto shipped me home.

Venice Review: Harmony Korine Finds New Ways to Provoke in Aggro Dr1ft, a GTA Fever Dream of a Movie
Is it possible to leave your enfance without losing your terrible? The one-and-only Harmony Korine, now 50 years young, returns with Aggro Dr1ft, a premiere out-of-competition at the Venice Film Festival this week and, by my count, the only so far to have triggered mass walkouts and a ten-minute standing ovation. Shot entirely in infrared and using augmented reality effects and AI imaging tools, Aggro Dr1ft appears like the fever dream of a day spent drinking lean, watching music videos, and playing God of War and Grand Theft Auto. At times it’s funny, dazzling, almost beautiful; at others ugly, misogynistic, numbingly dull. Only he could have made it.
Aggro Dr1ft is the first feature to arrive from Korine’s newly minted and somehow even more annoyingly named Edglrd media studios, a creative hub of fashion designers, skateboarders, AI artists, gamers, and animators whom Korine has tasked with finding new forms of entertainment.

A scrappy urban tale of misspent young adulthood, Olmo Schnabel’s “Pet Shop Days” evokes the blown-out, stolen-shot 16mm character studies of 1990s independent cinema, as well as the bohemian oeuvre of painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, his father. This isn’t attributable merely to the fact that the younger Schnabel includes a scene in which his characters watch Julian’s 1996 “Basquiat,” whose themes and aloof tone — not to mention the events of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s actual life — would seem an obvious inspiration for his first feature. But in a contemporary absence of true New York stories told by filmmakers with seemingly more moxie than money, newcomer Schnabel distinguishes himself with a debut that feels tactile, real and suitably off-putting as he attempts to capture the sensibilities (if not always common sense) of twentysomethings.

Harmony Korine’s “Aggro Dr1ft” received a 10-minute standing ovation after its premiere at Venice Film Festival, despite a flurry of walkouts.
Though some audience members left as soon as the experimental action film finished (and at least 25 departed before that), Korine’s hardcore fans stuck around for a rousing 10-minute ovation at the midnight screening. As Korine greeted the crowd and did a happy dance, chants of “Harmony! Harmony! Harmony!” rang out.
Each time the applause started to died down, Korine waved his hands in the air like a conductor, and the cheers started up again.
Strippers twerking, demon-like crime lords chanting “dance bitch” and Travis Scott’s major-role debut are just a taste of what “Aggro Dr1ft” had to offer. When Scott first appeared on screen about halfway into the film, the crowd erupted in applause. However, the rapper was not in attendance at the premiere.

I have seen the future of cinema, and it is “Aggro Dr1ft,” a neon-hued outlaw eyegasm from the director of ”Spring Breakers.” There will likely never be another film like it. Even so, it’s clear that Harmony Korine’s immersive iridescent plunge into the world and psyche of a serial killer points the way down fresh avenues for the medium to explore.
This is the first movie I’ve seen that doesn’t feel like it was meant to be watched; instead, it was designed to wash over you — or maybe just to unspool on one of the many screens illuminated in your field of vision, while your focus ricochets between it and whatever else is competing for your attention. As Brian De Palma’s “Scarface” became a touchstone cultural reference for the immigrant and hip-hop communities, so too could “Aggro Dr1ft” connect with audiences who see themselves (or...

Of the many directors to emerge during indie cinema’s heyday in the 90s, Harmony Korine probably remains the most iconoclastic. It’s not an understatement to say that his script for Larry Clark’s Kids, which he penned at age 18, is the most conventional thing in his whole filmography. Everything since — from his irreverent feature debut Gummo (which The New York Times deemed “the worst film of the year”) to the Dogme 95-certified Julien Donkey-Boy to his Jackass-like Trash Humpers to the tripped-out Florida-set heist flick Spring Breakers and bizarro Matthew McConaughey vehicle The Beach Bum — has been an experiment of one kind or another.
But the 80-minute assassin movie Aggro DR1FT (all caps, one digit) is something else entirely. In fact, it’s not really a movie at all, but more like a cross between a movie, a video game and a flow of hallucinatory images that could...

Harmony Korine has been openly bored with movies as we know them since the first time that he directed one. Real ’90s kids remember when he went on “Late Show with David Letterman” to promote “Gummo,” and insisted to the befuddled host that “things need to change. We can make films differently.” Korine may not have been wrong on either score back in 1997, but he’s a hell of a lot more right today. We live in a time when Hollywood offerings have become more stale than ever, and traditional cinema is beset on all sides by new technologies, novel coronaviruses, and — in Korine’s case — even some of the same artists who’ve helped to push the medium forward over the last several decades.

Harmony Korine arrived at the Venice Film Festival press conference for his latest film, “Aggro Dr1ft,” wearing a devilish mask inspired by the movie with a cigar in hand.
Korine was joined by “Aggro Dr1ft” visual effects artist Joao Rosa and Eric Kohn, the newly announced head of film strategy and development at his company Edglrd. All three sported horned masks with bee-like eyes — Korine’s was yellow while Rosa wore a white mask and Kohn donned a black one. Throughout the conference, Korine mimed taking puffs of his cigar.
“We’re wearing the masks because they’re comfortable,” Korine joked. “It’s giving me a scalp massage.”
In addition to discussing “Aggro Dr1ft” — an experimental action film shot entirely in infrared photography that stars Jordi Mollà and rapper Travis Scott as deadly assassins — Korine also elaborated on his goals for Edglrd, which focuses not only on film but also tech and design.

Harmony Korine returns to the Venice Film Festival this week with his most experimental project in years, Aggro DR1FT, an 80-minute screen experience that he doesn’t even really consider a movie. Taking the neon-bikini-and-guns aesthetic of his late career breakthrough Spring Breakers (2012) and elevating it into its own dimension entirely, Aggro DR1FT was shot fully with thermal lens, giving it an explosively colorful and pulsating video game-like aesthetic. The story is set in the seedy domain of Miami’s criminal underbelly, where Spanish actor Jordi Mollà stars as a seasoned hitman in pursuit of his next target. Superstar rapper Travis Scott appears in the supporting part of Zion, a fellow traveler in this twisted, hallucinatory world of violence and sensuous madness. DJ and producer AraabMuzik, acclaimed for his work with Asap Rocky, Cardi B and over a dozen other hip-hop stars, composed the film’s synth and beat-driven score.

Harmony Korine used to be a movie junkie, someone who’d watch anything and everything. These days, when people recommend a movie, “I’ll look at it and I feel nothing, like dead inside,” says the guy whose own films, from “Spring Breakers” to the controversial screenplay for Larry Clark’s “Kids,” are nothing if not disruptive.
“Watching a lot of this shit, you really feel the algorithms,” he says the day before receiving the Pardo d’onore Manor prize at the Locarno Film Festival. Whereas, “I’ll see a clip on TikTok that is so inexplicable, so outside the realm of what I even imagine someone creating. Like, I can have an experience with a 30-second clip that goes so far beyond” what movies do for him.
TikTok. YouTube. Video games. Those are the influences operating on Korine’s latest feature-length provocation, “Aggro Dr1ft,” which is premiering at the Venice Film Festival.

Eric Kohn is leaving Indiewire after nearly 17 years for a new gig.
Beginning August 30, the veteran journalist, film critic and columnist will be joining Harmony Korine’s Edglrd. As the Head of Film Strategy and Development, Kohn will help the filmmaker develop films from emerging and established artists for the multidisciplinary design collective.
Most recently named VP, Editorial Strategy and Executive Editor at IndieWire, Kohn began his IndieWire career as a critic focusing on reviews straight out of film festivals.
“I’m really excited to be working with Eric Kohn. He has great insight and adventurous tastes. I can’t wait to see the projects he develops at Edglrd. We are very happy to have him here with us. He also runs marathons, which I find equally impressive,” said Harmony Korine.
As previously reported in TheWrap, Korine spoke to GQ about how he saw the future as movies that can be experienced like video games.

With no official film market and a more laid-back attitude than Cannes, Berlin or Toronto, Venice has never been the go-to festival for movie deals.
But opportunistic buyers could spot a bargain this year, as many of the hottest titles arrive at the Lido without major distribution in place.
Just ahead of Venice, Sideshow and Janus Films picked up domestic rights to Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car follow-up Evil Does Not Exist, and Mubi snatched up Sophia Coppola’s Priscilla, an A24 release in the U.S., for several markets, including the U.K., Germany, Latin America and Turkey.
Here are some of the other prime targets for dealmakers in the 2023 Venice Film Festival lineup.

The future of entertainment lies in movies that can be experienced like video games, argued the filmmaker behind “Spring Breakers.” Harmony Korine spoke to GQ about his co-funded studio Edglrd, where he noted that gaming systems have advanced to the point where “you could look at the Call of Duty trailer now, and it looks better than anything that [Steven] Spielberg’s ever done.”
“We’re trying to gamify movies,” Korine continued. “What we’re trying to do is to build some mechanism that allows people to interface with the footage and basically remix, or make their own, films.”
The director, who broke out in 1995 with the bracingly of-its-time “Kids,” has “just lost interest in normal films.” He’s now more curious about what’s next.

Harmony Korine has finally pulled back the curtain on Edglrd (pronounced “Edgelord”), his Florida-based creative collective and design studio that makes, among other things, films, video games and films that are playable as video games.
In a lengthy interview with GQ, the “Gummo” and “Spring Breakers” director showed off Edglrd’s animation, imaging and AI technology, which he used to create his newest movie, “Aggro Dr1ft,” starring Travis Scott and Jordi Mollà.
In demonstrating a face-swapping AI technology, Korine told GQ, “This is the future of entertainment.” Then, he remarked that gaming engines have become so sophisticated “that it’s almost gone 360.”

The Toronto International Film Festival announced today the 2023 selections for the highly regarded Midnight Madness program.
The infamous Midnight Madness lineup features 10 titles, 7 of which are World Premieres, and highlight the weird and the wicked of film.
“Sides will be split — both figuratively and literally (on screen) — as Midnight Madness returns to the Royal Alexandra Theatre with another stimulating concoction of unpredictable shock and ‘y’arr!’ cinema,” said Peter Kuplowsky, TIFF International Programmer, Midnight Madness. “Featuring two timely satiric provocations from Saudi Arabia (Naga) and Serbia (Working Class Goes to Hell) — nations that are making their section debut — this year’s madness infectiously ignites with 11 o’clock numbers that go all the way to midnight courtesy of Larry Charles’ bonkers and bawdy Dicks: The Musical.

Harmony Korine, the director of cult classics like “Spring Breakers” and “Gummo”, has teamed up with rapper Travis Scott for a new film that was shot entirely in infrared. The film, titled “Aggro Dr1ft”, is produced by A24 and will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September 2023.
“Aggro Dr1ft” is described as an action-oriented film that stars Scott and Spanish actor Jordi Mollà, who has appeared in films like “Bad Boys II” and “Riddick”. The plot of the 80-minute film is still unknown, but the first production still released by Venice shows Scott and Mollà wearing masks, body armor, and guns in a dark and surreal setting.

Filmmaker Olmo Schnabel has assembled a cast of heavyweights for his directorial debut – a romantic thriller about two young men exploring the underbelly of New York and one other.
“Pet Shop Boys” will mark the first time behind the camera for Schnabel, son of Oscar-nommed director Julian Schnabel. Already wrapped, the project is led by newcomers Dario Yazebek Bernal (“The House of the Flowers”) and Jack Irv (“Giants Being Lonely”).
The film follows the impulsive black sheep Alejandro (Bernal) and college-age pet store employee Jack (Irv) who engage in a whirlwind affair that sends them down a rabbit hole of vice.
The men will have pedigreed costars in four-time Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe and the prolific Peter Sarsgaard. Also on board is Emmanuelle Seigner (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”), Jordi Mollà (“Riddick”), Louis Cancelmi (“The Looming Tower”), Camille Rowe (“The Deep House”), Maribel Verdu (“Blancanieves”) and Angela Sarafyan.

Ryanverse fans, rejoice. The Prime Video action thriller Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, which stars John Krasinski as the titular CIA operative, is finally back for a third season, more than three years after Season 2 started streaming. Even Jack would have forgotten some plot details in a hiatus that long, so we’re here to offer a refresher. As Season 2 starts, Jack has his eye on Venezuela, where Gloria Bonalde (Cristina Umaña) is running for president against incumbent Nicolás Reyes (Jordi Mollà). Jack suspects Russia is shipping weapons to Venezuela, but when he heads there on a diplomatic mission, Reyes denies the surreptitious dealings. And while he’s there, Jack reconnects with his old boss Jim Greer (Wendell Pierce), who has also been tracking the shipping containers, and spends a night with a woman, later revealed to be Harriet Baumann (Noomi Rapace), an agent with Germany’s Bundesnachrichtendienst (Bnd) intelligence service.

If you’re a fan of Vin Diesel, or if you’re a fan of the Riddick series. But the question is have you seen all of the movies in the Riddick franchise? If not, don’t worry – we’re here to help. We’ve put together a list of the Riddick movies in order so that you can catch up on this action-packed series before the next one comes out.
Vin Diesel has played the titular character in the Riddick series. The first movie, “Pitch Black,” was released in 2000. The audience loved the film’s unique blend of science fiction and horror.
This success led to a sequel, “The Chronicles of Riddick,” released in 2004. While it didn’t perform as well at the box office as its predecessor, the sequel is still considered a cult classic among fans.

"Your eyes are getting worse!" Gravitas Ventures has unveiled a trailer for The Other Me, an indie drama from a Georgian filmmaker named Giga Agladze. This was quietly dumped this month without marketing or promotion at all, and no festival debuts. Jim Sturgess stars as an architect who is diagnosed with a rare eye disease, sending him into a surreal reality in which he sees people's "true motives". As these visions get more intolerable, he falls for a mysterious woman and confronts the truth about his own identity. The film's cast also includes Rhona Mitra, Orla Brady, Andreja Pejic, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, and Jordi Mollà. It's also executive produced by David Lynch, which is a bit strange. But this whole trailer is strange. There's one weird shot of shadowy figures, but the rest of it is just Sturgess going around yelling at nobody? Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Giga Agladze's The Other Me,...

Post-production has wrapped on the first film by the acting agent, toplined by Bruna Cusí, Ricardo Gómez and Eneko Sagardoy. Borja de la Vega works in one of those professions that don’t get much press: he is an agent for actors and actresses. More specifically, he is the joint director of the agency Kuranda, which handles the professional affairs of thesps of the likes of Elena Anaya, Penélope Cruz and Jordi Mollà, among countless others. But he has also made the leap to the world of cinematic creation, making his debut with Mía y Moi, a film set to star Bruna Cusí (Summer 1993), Ricardo Gómez, Eneko Sagardoy (the winner of the Goya Award for Best New Actor in 2018 after his turn in Giant) and Joe Manjón, who is of French heritage and previously appeared in The August Virgin.

Exclusive: Kat Gosling, the highly respected UK agent whose client list includes Emma star Anya Taylor-Joy, 1917 actor Dean-Charles Chapman, and Devs actress Sonoya Mizuno, is leaving Troika after 10 years at the agency for a new home at United Agents, I can reveal.
Gosling is taking her entire client list with her. The lengthy roster also includes Game Of Thrones alum Carice van Houten, Westworld’s Rodrigo Santoro, Peaky Blinders actor Finn Cole, Downton Abbey alum Allen Leech, and Jack Ryan actor Jordi Mollà.
The move is a coup for United, which is also bringing Gosling’s associate Tom Holcroft into the fold. The pair began their new roles on Monday (July 13).

Jack Ryan season 2 ends with few surprises, though it does lay the groundwork for some more recognizable stories.
Obviously, this article contains majors spoilers for Jack Ryan season 2.
The second season of Amazon’s Jack Ryan series with John Krasinski, which dropped a day early on Halloween, manages to address many of the viable complaints that critics levied at its first season -- while also injecting more emotional developments into an otherwise straight and narrow storyline. Krasinski’s take on Tom Clancy’s iconic character is a little bit more human this time around. Meanwhile, the latest plot that he and ex-boss James Greer (Wendell Pierce) find themselves unraveling is a bit more nuanced than season one’s global terrorist extravaganza.

This Jack Ryan season 2 review contains no spoilers.
The same day that Apple TV+ is set to debut, and a week and a half before Disney’s own streaming service will do the same, Amazon’s Jack Ryan season 2 will premiere. Judging by the sheer amount of new content the smartphone maker’s new platform is about to drop (not to mention premieres at Netflix and elsewhere), eight new episodes of John Krasinski’s latest take on the popular Tom Clancy character obviously isn’t enough to counter it all. But that’s not going to stop Amazon from planting its “Peak TV” flag and letting it fly.
Besides, the latter finds itself with a very important advantage: everyone is already familiar with Jack Ryan, the first season of which was okay but fun.

You’d be forgiving for thinking I’m pulling your leg and telling a belated April Fool’s Day joke when I talk about having seen The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. The long time passion project of Terry Gilliam has seemed so cursed and impossible to get off the ground, it even inspired a well received documentary in Lost in La Mancha. Having started work on this outing back in the late 1980’s, it’s been a full lifetime bringing The Man Who Killed Don Quixote to life. This week, it’s finally going to be available for public consumption, in part through Fathom Events. Those of you who have long been curious about it can rest easy…it’s good! The film is an adventure with a mix of comedy and drama elements thrown in, as only Gilliam can put forth. Toby (Adam Driver) is a deeply cynical but highly regarded director.

"Sancho!" Screen Media + Fathom have revealed the brand new official Us trailer for Terry Gilliam's long-awaited The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the film he's been trying to make for decades with doomed productions and other setbacks delaying it over and over. Gilliam's The Man Who Killed Don Quixote finally premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last summer, where it was also threatened by a lawsuit that almost stopped it from showing in France at all. But it played, and it's now getting a release in the Us as well. The film is about an advertising executive who jumps back & forth in time between 21st century London and 17th century La Mancha, where Don Quixote mistakes him for Sancho Panza. Starring Jonathan Pryce as Don Quixote, and Adam Driver as Toby, with a cast including Olga Kurylenko, Stellan Skarsgård, Rossy de Palma, Óscar Jaenada, Jordi Mollà, Jason Watkins, and Sergi López.

We’ve got a new trailer to share with you for Terry Gilliam’s long-awaited fantasy adventure film, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. This is a passion project of his that he’s been working on trying to get made for the past 25 years. Well, after going to hell and back to get it made, he finally did it and it’s set to hit theaters on April 10th, 2019!
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote stars Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) in the role of Toby and Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean) in the role of Don Quixote. I’ve always enjoyed Gilliam’s style, and as you’ll see in the trailer, you can tell that he had a lot of fun making it.

Screen Media finally released a trailer Monday for Terry Gilliam’s long-delayed film, “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote,” a passion project that has taken the director nearly two decades to get to the screen.
The film stars Jonathan Pryce as the title character alongside Adam Driver, Stellan Skarsgård, Olga Kurylenko and Jordi Mollà. Driver plays a frustrated filmmaker and disillusioned advertising executive who becomes pulled into a world of time-jumping fantasy when a Spanish cobbler (Pryce) who believes he is Don Quixote mistakes Toby for his trusted squire Sancho Panza. Pulled further into the cobbler’s world, Toby gradually becomes unable to tell his dreams from reality.
In 2018, Gilliam lost a legal dispute when a French court ruled that he would have to pay one of the film’s former producer, Paulo Branco, €10,000 for breach of contract. Branco also sought an injunction to prevent “Don Quixote” from being released...

Terry Gilliam has been to hell and back multiple times on his journey to make his passion project The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. The last we heard, Gilliam had lost the rights to the film and we had no idea if it would ever get released, especially after Amazon dropped it.

Terry Gilliam's long-time passion project, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, really must be a cursed film! The director has been trying to get this film made for decades! Things looked bright for him and the project when he actually completed production on it with Adam Driver and it ended up premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.
Well, things just took another crazy turn as Gilliam just lost the rights to his film! Screen Rant reports that the Paris Court of Appeal just ruled in favor of the film’s former producer, Paulo Brancho, who sued for rights to the project on the grounds that Gilliam made the film illegally. Wow! I didn't see that coming!
According to Branco and his production company Alfama, Gilliam and his team didn't hold the rights to make the film. Screen Daily quotes Branco as saying:

We have no idea when we will get to see Terry Gilliam's long-awaited The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, but today we have a new international Catalan poster to share with you for the film.
I also included some recent comments made by Gilliam expressing his hatred for superhero films, calling them bullshit. During a recent interview, the filmmaker said:
"I hate superheroes. It’s bullshitt. Come on, grow up! We’re not going to be teenagers for the rest of our lives.""It’s great to dream of great powers. Superheroes are all about power. That’s what I don’t like about superheroes. They’ve gotta beat the other powerful superheroes. Come on, a bit of peace, love, and understanding is what we need."
It's funny that he's saying this because this is coming from the guy who tried to direct Watchmen at one point in his career.

In F-rated Netflix comedy “Ibiza,” best friends Harper (Gillian Jacobs), Nikki (Vanessa Bayer) and Leah (Phoebe Robinson) have ditched Manhattan for a wild weekend in Spain where they’ll be welcomed with the 10 words every girl wants to hear: “Please serve yourself with food, drinks, and eye-opening sexual experiences.” That greeting is courtesy of wealthy mansion-owner Hernando (Jordi Mollà), one of a soccer-team’s worth of suitors vying to take the Americans to bed. Men come and go with a breezy freedom, not the manifest destiny of ordinary romantic comedies. Except for Harper’s laser-focus on a Scottish DJ named Leo who inspires her to re-route their vacation from Barcelona to eponymous party island, where she hopes to make stoned eyes at him across a nightclub as the Edm beat pumps like her heart.
