Paramount plans to release multiple Transformers movies in the next few years as part of a new trilogy. Transformers 8 is in the works, with details yet to be confirmed but it is expected to continue the story from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. A new animated Transformers movie called Transformers One will explore the origin stories of Optimus Prime and Megatron and is set to release in 2024.
Paramount has big plans for the future of Transformers, with many upcoming movies planned after 2023's Rise of the Beasts. The studio is developing multiple Transformers movies to be released in the next several years. Michael Bay helped launch the Transformers franchise in 2007 with stars Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox. Although Fox left after just two films, Labeouf's Sam Witwicky remained the focus for the first trilogy.

McKenna Grace reprises her lead role as Phoebe in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” which led the weekend box office with $45 million. At 17 she is not yet a household name, but she laid some groundwork early: At age six she had a supporting role on the Disney Channel sitcom “Crash & Bernstein.” Later she received an Emmy nomination for her work in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and portrayed the younger selves for the leads in movies like “I, Tonya” and “Captain Marvel.”
Her “Ghostbusters” co-star is Finn Wolfhard, who made his debut at 13 in CW’s “Supernatural” before starring in “Stranger Things” and “It.” Zendaya, star of “Dune: Part Two,” got her start as a Disney Channel regular. Her co-star, Oscar-nominated Austin Butler, cut his teeth at Nickelodeon.

Four decades after Francis Ford Coppola began thinking about his sci-fi epic “Megalopolis,” cinephiles are closer than ever to seeing the finished product on the big screen. After years of studio rejections, Coppola opted to self-finance a large portion of the $100 million movie, which filmed in Atlanta in 2022 and 2023 with a cast that includes Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Nathalie Emmanuel, Forest Whitaker, Laurence Fishburne, Shia Labeouf, Jason Schwartzman, and Dustin Hoffman.
While few specifics are known about the film’s plot, it is believed to take place in a futuristic city modeled after the Roman Empire and follow an architect named Caesar (Driver) who struggles to balance his idealism with the pragmatic demands of his peers. “Megalopolis” is certain to be one of the most anticipated premieres at whatever film festival ends up landing it, but any film lovers hoping for more concrete details might have to wait until they see it for themselves.

There probably aren’t too many movie fans that aren’t looking forward to Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, his passion project that is decades in the making. And while we have gotten a lot of news in terms of plot, casting, title design, and more, it still feels sort of surreal that Megalopolis will finally be released later this year. But if we want any further details about what to expect, one of its stars, Adam Driver, can only tease.
Driver, who plays a character named Caesar in Megalopolis, described the film as such: “It’s kind of undefinable, which feels very general until you watch the movie. Then my answer will be perfect.

French star Omar Sy (Lupin, The Intouchables) is joining forces with Fast X and Transporter director Louis Leterrier and producer Thomas Benski (American Honey, Gangs of London) to launch Carrousel Studios, a new European independent studio.
Billed as an “artists-first” studio, Carrousel aims to focus on elevated genre, in the film and TV, to “lean into elevated action, thrillers, sci-fi, fantasy and comedy projects,” according to a statement, by taking advantage of “myriad tax credits, subsidies, cost of production, incredible talent (in front and behind the camera) as well as other European incentives.”
All three men are represented by CAA and CAA Media Finance set up the financing for the venture. Carrousel Studios will have offices in Paris, London, Los Angeles and Senegal.

FKA Twigs is speaking up about the long-lasting effects of abuse. The singer-songwriter said this week that “being abused changes the whole of your nervous system” when speaking about her allegations against former partner Shia Labeouf.
Twigs, born Tahliah Barnett, accused Labeouf of sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress in 2021. After several delays, the case is set to go to court in October.
“I’ve had to be very compassionate with myself and really listen to myself to get better,” Barnett told British Vogue this week. “Now I want to challenge myself to know more about the simple, most pure and important things: love, nature, food, a nontoxic lifestyle, my body.”
Barnett also spoke up about how her experience has continued to shape her life in real time. “I think naively I thought it would be like any other breakup, that I’d be sad for six months to a year,...

A standalone Transformers movie could reset the canon, making the series more accessible for new audiences. Introducing a new Autobot hero could add fresh appeal to the franchise. By focusing on underused characters and revamping designs, a new movie can breathe new life into the Transformers universe.
The prospect of a new standalone Transformers movie might sound like a big risk, but there are many reasons this could be the franchise's best move. With the infamously critic-proof Michael Bay at the helm, Transformers was almost guaranteed to be a financial success in 2007. The sci-fi action adventure movie proved a relative critical hit too, with likable lead performances from Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox ensured the coming-of-age comedy worked as well as the movie’s high-octane action sequences.
As all the Transformers movies thereafter released, however, the series' critical reception gradually grew less impressive. 2009’s Revenge of the Fallen met with a cooler reception,...

Say what you will about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but it did have its merits. Yes, it's the least-liked movie in the Indiana Jones franchise. The movie did, though, introduce a new group of baddies to the franchise with the Soviets and showed us our favorite archeologist dealing with many problems beyond his usual tomb-raiding. It also gave us one of the best action sequences in the whole franchise, too! Remember the motorcycle scene with Indy (Harrison Ford) and Mutt Williams (Shia Labeouf) racing through the middle of the university campus? That's pure Indiana Jones gold and proof of Steven Spielberg's insightful directing and deep knowledge of the franchise, which is why the scene is still worthy of attention.

Fury is a fictional narrative inspired by real WWII tank crews, paying homage to their untold stories and experiences. David Ayer's commitment to authenticity shines through in Fury, with detailed sets and real WWII veterans influencing the film. The psychology of a tank crew during WWII is explored in Fury, with actors undergoing intense training to bond and immerse themselves in their roles.
Before going on to direct the first iteration of the Dcu's Suicide Squad — and mercilessly slate it online following its poor reception — director David Ayer brought together an all-star cast of against-the-grain soldiers on a life-threatening mission that can only end in peril, sounds surprisingly familiar. 2014's Fury saw Brad Pitt portray Don 'Wardaddy' Collier, a US Army Staff Sergeant in charge of the Sherman Tank 'Fury'.

The actress then acknowledged this as highly unlikely as Keanu Reeves, who played the titular anti-hero John Constantine in the first film, is rumored to be replacing Swinton as the archangel Gabriel.

When you look at the cast of Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, it’s pretty amazing how many up-and-coming young actors were involved, most of whom were complete unknowns at that point. Over forty years after its release, Coppola has shared audition footage of The Outsiders on Instagram, featuring Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Matt Dillion, Ralph Macchio, and more. There’s even footage of actors who didn’t get roles in the movie, including a young Anthony Michael Hall.

“42 years ago we cast ‘The Outsiders’ in a unique way,” Coppola wrote in the caption. “We had all the actors together on a soundstage and would alternate different actors reading for different roles.

Although there’s no distributor yet confirmed for Francis Ford Coppola’s decades-in-development, nearly completed epic Megalopolis, we’re starting to get a sense of when we may see the $100 million epic. The director himself recently indicated it’ll be out in a few months, but according to a new report, a fall release is more likely.
In a round-up of Cannes possibilities, Deadline notes the movie is targeting “a big fall IMAX release,” which means a Venice or North American festival (i.e. TIFF or NYFF) could be more likely than a visit to the Croisette. The article also notes it’s unlikely that Steve McQueen’s Blitz, Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths, David Lowery’s Mother Mary, Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, and Luca Guadagnino’s Queer will be stopping by Cannes, but George Miller’s Furiosa, Audrey Diwan’s Emmanuelle, Andrea Arnold’s Bird, and David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds,...

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's motorcycle chase is a standout practical stunt in the franchise amidst heavy criticism of the CGI effects of the movie. Shia Labeouf spent six weeks learning to handle a 600-pound motorcycle for the demanding scene with Harrison Ford. The impressive motorcycle stunt highlights the poor quality of the CGI effects in Crystal Skull, a low point for the franchise.
Although Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull's CGI is distracting and has been long-criticized, the movie still features one of the best practical stunts in the entire franchise. Even with VFX experts criticizing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the movie still pays homage to the pre-cgi days of the eponymous protagonist's adventures as seen in the franchise's first three installments.

If you could sit down with Francis Ford Coppola – one of the greatest titans and entrepreneurs in movie history – what would you ask him? His best advice for a young filmmaker? His favorite movies? Perhaps his go-to ice cream flavor? Well, the director had all that and more to share during a recent Instagram Ama session; yes, Coppola has Instagram, and yes, you can ask him anything.
First and foremost, during the Ama, Coppola was asked what his favorite movies of his daughter Sofia’s were, in which he rattled off her debut, 1999’s Virgin Suicides, 2003’s Lost in Translation, 2006’s Marie Antoinette, and 2010’s Somewhere. That’s half of her filmography – Francis is such a dad! As for his own pictures, Coppola didn’t cite The Godfather or Apocalypse Now or Jack but rather 1983’s Rumble Fish, his second S.E.

In 2019, rumors circulated that Shia Labeouf and Mel Gibson would be featured in a new movie about the affluent Ashkenazi Jewish noble banking Rothschild family. The project, which was said to delve into the mysterious and secretive world of one of the wealthiest families in history, was met with excitement by fans.
However, since the initial announcement, there have been few or no updates regarding the status of the film, causing many to wonder: What happened to Gibson’s Rothschild movie? The project was supposed to be helmed by Tetris director Jon S. Baird.

Speculation has been rife concerning the causes of the apparent delay or possible demise of the project. The movie’s title and subject matter caused controversy then, and Gibson was forced to deny any link between Rothchild and the wealthy Jewish banking dynasty of the same name.

Actor Mark Wahlberg discussed an intense experience from filming the comedy Ted 2 involving a deleted scene. Despite never making the final cut, Wahlberg was forced to memorize a random list of 57 movie character names, and five years later, he still wakes up “saying that shit.”
The comedy Ted 2 was released in 2015 as a sequel to Seth MacFarlane’s original 2012 hit film, with Mark Wahlberg reprising his role as the titular teddy bear’s best friend. The plot involves Ted fighting to gain legal recognition as a person, rather than mere property. Wahlberg’s character John is Ted’s longtime buddy who helps him in his legal battles and silly misadventures.

Abel Ferrara has made a career out of staring unflinchingly into the abyss, interrogating man’s weakness and depravity and daring his audiences to look away. Faced with the catastrophic violence of the war in Ukraine, however, which he chronicles in the Berlin-premiering documentary “Turn in the Wound,” even the iconoclastic director finds himself at a loss — for words, and for easy answers.
“Why is the violence — that’s what it’s about,” Ferrara tells Variety. “Whether it’s there, whether it’s happening in Gaza and Israel — it’s happening all over the world. It has happened, it is happening, and it’s going to happen, and the question is, Why?”
Ferrara returns to Berlin four years after competing for the Golden Bear with “Siberia,” which starred Willem Dafoe in what Variety’s Guy Lodge described as a “beautiful, unhinged, sometimes hilarious trek into geographical and psychological wilderness.” The...

Following Shia Labeouf’s departure from the Transformers franchise, Mark Wahlberg assumed the lead role in the sci-fi action series, appearing in two films within the franchise. The actor has shared that the reason he chose to do the movies was because of his kids, as he believed that these films would be less adult-oriented compared to his other projects, and would potentially capture his children’s interest.

If there was ever a filmmaker who embodies a Dgaf attitude, it’s undoubtedly Bronx-born filmmaker Abel Ferrara. Having moved to Italy years ago, the filmmaker seems to have totally abandoned Hollywood but keeps on trucking unbowed nonetheless, doing whatever the F he wants. While no one else would touch Shia Labeouf after the allegations of his violent and emotionally toxic behavior against singer/actress and ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs (who launched a lawsuit against him during the tail end of #MeToo for abusive behavior), Ferrara didn’t really care and was happy to cast the actor in his last film, “Padre Pio.” And for his next movie, Ferrara will reunite with Asia Argento and Willem Dafoe, the stars of his 1998 erotic science fiction drama film, “New Rose Hotel,” co-starring Christopher Walken.

Perhaps putting his Shia Labeouf-scripted Auschwitz film on hold––how you feel about that prospect is a fantastic Rorschach test––Abel Ferrara has a New Rose Hotel / Go Go Tales reunion in store. As his documentary Turn in the Wound debuts at the Berlinale, he’s well into development on American Nails, a gangster film that will star Willem Dafoe and Asia Argento and roll cameras this summer. [Variety]
Almost needless to say Ferrara wouldn’t, at this wild stage of his career, simply return to classic territory: as written by him and Rossella De Venuto, it retells Euripides’ Hippolytus “in a tale set in the gangster world of primal violence, power and revenge [that] pits Argento against the male-dominated remnants of power and entitlement, in the shadow of the Roman Empire in contemporary Italy.” Ferrara’s last time in Rome, Zeros and Ones, is among the wildest visions of the...

2023 was a good year for Australian actor Jacob Elordi, who played Elvis Presley in “Priscilla” and a posh Oxford student with a sinister new friend in “Saltburn.” The latter performance even earned him a BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actor. But that’s not his only chance at BAFTA victory. He’s also up for the Rising Star Award, which goes to the year’s most outstanding breakthrough performer as voted on by the public. He’s the front-runner in our odds to win that award, but he has to overcome one major disadvantage: he isn’t British.
The Rising Star Award has been handed out since 2005, and out of the 18 actors and actresses who have won the award, only three weren’t British (16.67%): French actress Eva Green (2006) and Americans Shia Labeouf (2007) and Kristen Stewart (2009). The last 13 winners in a row have been Brits. None have ever been Australian.

Fury is a brutal movie about the horrors of war that follows the American tank Fury and its crew during World War II. The film draws inspiration from a real memoir but is not a true story, although it accurately portrays the experiences of American tankers during the war. The attention to detail in Fury is impressive, with real tanks, maps, uniforms, and weapons used to create an authentic environment for the film.
Fury is a brutal movie about the horrors of war. Now streaming on Netflix, the film originally premiered in theaters in 2014. The film follows a World War II M4 Sherman American tank, nicknamed Fury, under the command of Staff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt), who’s part of the U.S. Second Armored Division.

Transformers One is unlikely to repeat the box office success of its predecessor. The Transformers franchise has had mixed results at the box office over the years. The upcoming release of Transformers One will face tough competition from other major films in 2024.
Although one Transformers movie set a surprising box office record 10 years ago, it seems unlikely that 2024’s new installment Transformers One will repeat this success. The Transformers franchise has been around since the ‘80s, but its series of live-action blockbuster movies began in 2007 with the release of director Michael Bay’s Transformers. Although it came with a sizable $150 million budget, Transformers proved a big hit at the box office, earning $709 million upon release. However, Transformers wasn’t the year’s biggest success. The third Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Spider-Man 3, and Shrek the Third all out-earned Bay’s hit.

Megalopolis risks repeating the failure of Driver's last sci-fi movie, 65, due to Coppola's recent lack of quality films. The inclusion of talented actors and actresses in Megalopolis is a positive sign for the upcoming movie's success. Megalopolis is crucial for Driver's career as he needs a box office hit outside of the Star Wars franchise to maintain his esteemed status in the industry.
Although Adam Driver's upcoming starring role in Megalopolis under the direction of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola sounds interesting, the new movie risks repeating a similar mistake as Driver's most recent sci-fi blockbuster. Megalopolis will see Driver as an architect named Caesar who wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia after a tragedy destroys the city.

Kevin Williamson, known for his work in the horror genre, is developing a TV adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, adding his own suspenseful twist to the classic story. This will be the third major retelling of the thriller, with the previous TV remake receiving mixed reviews, while the Shia Labeouf-led Disturbia fared better with both critics and at the box office. With Williamson's history of delivering exciting twists and building suspense, his modern retelling of Rear Window could keep audiences guessing with the introduction of multiple suspects for the new lead to investigate.
Nearly 70 years after the movie's acclaimed release, Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window is getting a new TV adaptation. Based on the short story "It Had To Be Murder", the 1954 thriller centered on a photographer stuck in his apartment as he recovered from a broken leg, and works to prove one of his neighbors is a murderer after witnessing suspicious activities.

AppleTV may be betting a lot on their big budget, expansive follow-up to the acclaimed "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" miniseries with the WWII drama "Masters of the Air," but this week the war drama that is making waves is actually on Netflix — and it came out a decade ago.
As we've seen time and time again, Netflix can give underseen titles a second chance at finding a global audience — and maybe even lead to a continuation of the original story. This time it is the 2014 war drama "Fury," starring Brad Pitt and Shia Labeouf, that has audiences enthralled.
The film was written and directed by David Ayer and is without a doubt his best movie. "Fury" follows the crew of an American tank fighting their way through Germany during the final weeks of World War II, focusing on the heavy casualties suffered by American crews when engaging in combat against German tanks.
