After Brian Austin Green revealed that he and Megan Fox have split up after 10 years of marriage, the actress is still proudly showing off her family. During an Instagram Live video on Wednesday, the 34-year-old actress spoke with CEO and founder, Colin Wayne, of Redline Steel—a veteran owned business that manufactures a wide range of products from monograms to home decor—about the products he sells in support of the military. The Transformers actress also showed off the products she has in her own home. "I got one that has my family crest on it," Fox said as she proudly showed off a monogrammed Tree of Life with their family name, "Green." She also...

Since his debut in Tree of Life, Tye Sheridan has amassed an interesting collection of film credits that includes the likes of Terrence Malick, Jeff Nicols, David Gordon Green, and Steven Spielberg. Not bad for an actor barely into his 20s.
For The Night Clerk, Sheridan takes on a significantly more complex character. Bart Bromley is a socially challenged individual but one that is doing his best to fit in. During the day, he studies situations, exchanges and other people. At night, he uses what he's learned at his job at a local hotel. In public, he makes every attempt to seem "normal" but anyone that knows Bart and interacts with him for any extended period of time understands that normalcy does not come naturally to Bart.

This pre-Christmas weekend often launches awards contenders into limited release ahead of wider audience attention. Both “Uncut Gems” (A24) and “Bombshell” (Lionsgate) gambled and won, clicking with strong New York/Los Angeles performances.
On the other hand, Terrence Malick’s “A Hidden Life” (Fox Searchlight), though never expected to have the same potential, fell far short of its hopes with a weak start in the same cities. It broadens out to more limited engagements next week.
“Seberg” (Amazon) starring Kristen Stewart as the iconic actress booked a qualifying one-week run (with no grosses reported) ahead of further limited theatrical play, with a Prime date set for February.
Opening
Uncut Gems (A24) – Metacritic: 89; Festivals include: Telluride, Toronto, New York 2019
$525,498 in 5 theaters; PTA: $105,100
The Safdie brothers’ character study of a troubled Diamond District merchant (Adam Sandler) boasted a triumphant start at five New York/Los Angeles theaters. Aided by some Q&a screenings,...

Updated with adjustments. The weekend sparkled with the limited release of the Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems, starring Adam Sandler. A24’s crime thriller earned an estimated gross of $525,498, opening in five theaters in New York and Los Angeles with a per-screen average of $105,100. This is a shining moment, as the limited opening of Uncut Gems makes for the biggest per-screen average opening ever for A24.

Fox Searchlight is ready to put another stake in the ground for this year’s awards season race with the theatrical release of the Terrence Malick drama A Hidden Life starring August Diehl and Valerie Pachner. The release marks a reunion between the Fox Searchlight and Malick since 2011’s Tree Of Life starring Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain.
“We are thrilled to reunite with Terrence and his team, plus new craftspeople we didn’t yet work with on Tree of Life,” said Frank Rodriguez, Svp General Sales Manager, Fox Searchlight Pictures. “It has been a long and fruitful relationship. It has been wonderful to work with August Diehl and Valerie Pachner as well.”
Based on true events, A Hidden Life tells the story of the modest hero Franz Jägerstätter (Diehl), an Austrian farmer-turned-World War II conscientious objector who refused to fight for the Nazis. Pachner stars as his wife and...

The keyword in all the advance talk about Terrence Malick’s “A Hidden Life” was linear. The film, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, was supposed to mark the reclusive but prolific director’s return to script-based filmmaking after years spent working in an improvisational, ruminative style; it was billed as Malick telling a story again rather than Malick indulging in his occasionally glorious, occasionally perplexing flights of fancy.
Of course, linear is a relative term when it comes to Terrence Malick. “A Hidden Life” is anchored in story in a way the director’s last few films have not been, but its storytelling rhythms are quintessentially his, with all the beauty and all the languor that that entails.
Based on the true story of an Austrian conscientious objector who refused to fight for Nazi Germany in World War II, “A Hidden Life” is certainly the director...

We’ve got three weeks to close the 6% box-office gap from 2018, and while the bulk of that lift will fall on “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” starting December 19, the work begins now. However, this weekend is tricky; Christmas is 12 days away, but it’s still in the heart of the pre-holiday doldrums. Historically, it’s a weekend that has seen better results for blockbuster titles like the “Lord of the Rings” and “Hobbit” series, but otherwise $40 million or more is unusual.
This week sees three new wide releases: “Jumanji: The Next Level” should be the month’s second-best release, while Clint Eastwood’s “Richard Jewell” could be another mid-sized triumph in the director’s 48-year directorial career. Meanwhile, Blumhouse Productions’ “Black Christmas” looks to rake in some quick money and take its chances beyond that.

Director Terrence Malick rarely shows up for anything these days, but the “Tree of Life” and “Days of Heaven” filmmaker was in attendance at a screening of his new film, “A Hidden Life,” at the Vatican this past Thursday. Releasing from Fox Searchlight, “A Hidden Life” centers on the real-life story of conscientious objector Franz Jägerstätter. While he refused to fight on the side of the Nazis during WWII, he was declared a martyr by the Catholic Church and was sentenced to death at 36.
The screening was held in the Vatican Film Library event space. Claudia Di Giovanni, Delegate of the Vatican Film Library, said, “It is an honor to present this film in this venue, as we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Vatican Film Library, where we have saved films which narrate the history of the Church but also remind us of important values.

Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

There is no other filmmaker that better embodies the possibilities and potential of filmmaking today than Emmanuel Lubezki. Working with Terrence Malick, “Chivo” elevated the naturalism of modern filmmaking into a new poetic language. With Alfonso Cuarón and their “Gravity,” he pioneered (and simultaneously mastered) creating cinema in a virtual workspace. With Alejandro González Iñárritu, he has tapped an exciting immersive side of using new tools.
Lubezki and Malick’s collaboration began on “The New World” and reached its pinnacle on “Tree of Life.” It was only through rigorous preparation and discipline — including production designer Jack Fisk creating a five-block-by-five-block neighborhood “set” for the actors and filmmakers to explore story in a new way. This wasn’t so much improvisation, as it was searching for the moments of truth in the world Malick had actually built in front of the camera. For this poem told in light, the cinematographer and...

For indie movie lovers, a new Wes Anderson movie carries the weight of anticipation that a Marvel movie has for comic book fans. Over the last two decades, Anderson has become one of the most beloved writer-directors working, with an idiosyncratic visual style that is one of the most definitive and identifiable in film history. Anderson is coming off his second Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature with “Isle of Dogs” and will next return to live-action filmmaking with “The French Dispatch.” The upcoming movie marks a milestone for Anderson as it is his 10th feature film to date.
What can viewers expect from “The French Dispatch”? While the movie’s cast and setting has been confirmed, a lot of details surrounding Anderson’s latest directorial effort remain under wraps. One thing that’s clear is that Anderson has pulled actors and crew members from across his filmography to make...

The history of American independent cinema as we know it began February 5, 1919 when four of the most iconic names in silent film — Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and D.W. Griffith — joined forces to create United Artists. These artists had grown frustrated with the studios that dominated Hollywood and sought to create a company that would give each of them greater creative control over their artistic work and their futures in the business. The founding of United Artists, the first independent studio in America, was a game-changer in Hollywood that would end up shaping the next century of movies.
One hundred years later, United Artists may not get the indie attention that A24, Neon, Fox Searchlight, IFC Films, and more receive but it has a legacy that any of these companies would kill to have. Whether it’s defining cinematic franchises like “Rocky” and James Bond or a handful of...

Launching a film at the Cannes Film Festival is equal measures honor and risk. For every “The Artist,” there’s a “Grace of Monaco;” others are happy to leave unscathed. Historically it’s a relative few who leave poised for Oscar consideration, but 2019 proved to be a strong year.
Among these are the two splashiest festival debuts, both showbiz sagas: Quentin Tarantino’s $90-million “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood”, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Margot Robbie, and Dexter Fletcher’s flashy $40 million bio-musical “Rocketman”, starring Taron Egerton as Elton John.
Studios tend to premiere their movies in Cannes as a launch pad for international release. Ten years ago, Tarantino’s “Inglourious Basterds” was a smash at Cannes in 2009 and delivered $321 million worldwide along with eight Oscar nominations and one win, for Christoph Waltz. This time, the movie’s megastar wattage lit up every news outlet around the world.

In order for a movie to wind up in the Best Picture race, everything has to go right. So it’s way too early to jump into real predicting. For now, let’s assess the likely players. And we will update as we see where the chips fall, from Cannes to the all-important gatekeepers, the fall film festivals.
As always, this year’s Oscar derby started off at January’s Sundance Film Festival. Their most likely awards contender is Amazon’s $14-million buy, writer-turned-director Scott Z. Burns’ post-9/11 fact-based political thriller “The Report,” a taut drama slated for fall release that imparts reams of info about CIA interrogation techniques, along the lines of post-Watergate journalism drama “All the President’s Men,” which won four Oscars. “The Report” makes heroes out of dogged investigator Dan Jones (Adam Driver) and his boss, California Senator Dianne Feinstein (four-time Oscar-nominee Annette Bening).

“Toscanini once recorded a piece [of music] sixty-five times. You know what he said when he finished?” the stern, often mean Mr. O’Brien (Brad Pitt) says to his son eldest son Jack (Hunter McCracken) in Terrence Malick’s“The Tree of Life” (2011) and once again in “The Tree Of Life (Extended Version)” (2018). “‘It could be better,’ he answers before pausing for effect, “Think about it.”
Malick, presumably modeled after Jack’s character in the film, may have been talking to a version of himself through his father played by a world-famous actor—‘Tree Of Life’ is intensely autobiographical—but he may also have been unintentionally reaffirming his own manifesto.

Emmy-nominated and Peabody-winning director and screenwriter Deborah S. Esquenazi is set to demystify stories and myths about women of color and Lgbtq individuals with her newly launched production company Myth of Monsters.
Under the new production banner, Esquenazi will team with former Mad Men writer Jason Grote to adapt her Peabody-winning, Emmy-nominated true crime documentary, Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four. Daniel Chalfen and Jim Butterworth of Naked Edge Films are co-producing. The 2016 documentary helped exonerate its four subjects from their wrongful convictions of the ritual rape of two little girls during the “Satanic Panic” era.
Also in development is Queen of Wands, a bilingual coming-of-age Lgbtq drama with Academy Award-nominated producer Cathleen Sutherland (Boyhood) and Susan Kirr. Set in 1989 during a fictionalized hurricane at the height of the AIDS crisis in Texas, Queen of Wands is a semi-autobiographical...

Disney’s Jungle Cruise may still be in development but a brief synopsis has been revealed the Dwayne Johnson caper.
The adaptation which is based on the Disney theme park attraction isn’t due to go into production until later this year but already has Johnson attached, and recently revealed Emily Blunt has now signed up to star alongside Hollywood’s hardest working actor.
The synopsis reveals a slightly supernatural feel to the movie in which Johnson previously compared its tone to The African Queen. Johnson plays Frank (Francisco), a witty and immortal riverboat captain who takes Blunt’s spunky scientist down a river to find the mythical ‘Tree of Life’ following the death of her brother from a disease. Said ‘tree’ has curative powers.
