There are many stories about Jean-Luc Godard in Cannes, like the year he helped to shut it down (1968) because of the civil unrest that was sweeping France at the time. Then there was the time when (in 1985) he was ambushed in the Palais by a Belgian anarchist and hit in the face with a custard pie after the premiere of Détective. And, as recently as 2018, there was the time he conducted a press conference for his film The Image Book via FaceTime from Switzerland, making journalists line up to speak into a mobile phone.
But the story that endures the most is the time in 1985 he signed a contract on a napkin with Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus, CEOs of The Cannon Group, whose big hits that year were Invasion U.S.A., starring Chuck Norris, and Death Wish 3, with Charles Bronson. Godard — who died last year at age...

David Elkouby's trouble began with a missing gun, but since he deals in Hollywood memorabilia, it was a movie prop. Mr. Freeze's light-up cryogenics blaster, wielded by Arnold Schwarzenegger, had disappeared from the Warner Bros. set of Batman & Robin in the fall of 1996.
Security personnel and top brass alike had already grown irritated with the increasing raft of props vanishing off their lot. Now the problem had impacted an active production, delaying filming on a major feature.

It may have taken a while after a Covid-caused production shutdown, but Fargo‘s intriguing, Chris Rock-fronted fourth season has finally procured a premiere, with FX having officially set a September release date.
Fargo Season 4 will premiere on FX on Sunday, September 27 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt, on which the first two episodes will air. Subsequent episodes will premiere on the same Sunday timeslot individually on a weekly basis. Streamers will be interested to know that each new episode will hit Hulu the day after their FX premieres.
The release date announcement occurs after the Chicago production of Fargo was one of several to be shut down back in March. Despite having only two episodes left to shoot, the shutdown resulted in a delay to the fourth season’s original April 19 release date; a move likely designed to avoid a situation similar to shows like AMC’s The Walking Dead...

Popular video game streamer Guy Beahm, better known by his streaming persona Dr DisRespect, is making his long-awaited return more than a month after he was banned from Twitch. The streamer first teased his return in an Instagram story of a fake newscast reporting that Dr DisRespect could be back “as early as today.” Beahm later stoked the fire further by releasing a new music video titled “Red Skies,” where he sings, “You can’t replace me,” among other cryptic messages to his adoring fans. The video was tagged “comeback,” per streaming industry insider Zach Bussey.

Idris Elba might be a big name in Hollywood, but there are many strings to the 47 year-old’s bow. As well as being a world-famous actor, he’s also a DJ and musician that founded his own record label, the creator of British sitcom In the Long Run and Netflix’s recently-canceled Turn Up Charlie, made his feature directorial debut with 2018’s Yardie and even won a professional kickboxing fight in 2016.
Despite playing a featured role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the Thor franchise’s Heimdall and starring in box office hits like Prometheus, Pacific Rim, Zootopia, The Jungle Book, Finding Dory, Star Trek Beyond and Hobbs & Shaw, the defining role of Elba’s entire career is still arguably that of Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in the BBC’s acclaimed crime drama Luther.

Some might want to say that creating a live action Pokemon series could be a knee-jerk reaction to the fact that the Detective Pikachu movie didn’t bomb out, but others would likely applaud HBO Max for trying to bring this to the fore in a way that would be seen as a sign of the times. The animated series has, for a long time now, been one of the most popular cartoons among children since Pokemon is, well, it’s Pokemon. Kids go nuts over the cute little creatures that can evolve and turn into more powerful and mysterious beings that

Something odd is happening in the world of cinema right now. After Hollywood seemingly achieved the impossible in 2019 by bringing us what was probably the first good video game adaptation ever in the form of Detective Pikachu, they’ve now managed to do it again, and with something that many would say is equally as impressive.
Though Paramount’s Sonic The Hedgehog had a bit of a rocky start thanks to a ridiculous initial interpretation of Sega’s beloved mascot, the film really turned things around. Reviews have been a bit mixed, sure, but as we saw with The Pokémon Company’s first venture into live-action, fans have been much more receptive to Sonic’s big screen debut, which has translated into huge commercial success.
Clearly, then, the studio is already cooking up sequels and if Sonic the Hedgehog‘s post-credits content is anything to go by, there are a...

NBC is holding onto its Dick Wolf universe, and we may never have to say goodbye to Detective Olivia Benson. The network just renewed Law & Order: Svu, Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. for three more seasons each, and executive producer Dick Wolf has signed a new five-year deal to stay at Universal Television. Svu is currently in its 21st season, meaning we'll get at least 24, while Fire is in season eight, P.D. is in season seven, and Med is in season five. They join This Is Us and New Amsterdam in getting to enjoy three season renewals, meaning NBC's staple dramas aren't changing anytime soon. Svu in particular is already the longest-running live-action TV show...

Something incredibly strange is afoot in the world of cinema right now. Not only did Hollywood seemingly achieve the impossible last year by delivering arguably the first good video game adaptation ever in the form of Detective Pikachu, but it has managed to turn the achievement into something of a trend.
Paramount’s Sonic The Hedgehog, despite getting off to a rocky start thanks to, let’s be honest, a heinous initial interpretation of Sega’s beloved mascot, has since proven to be something of a box office success. Critical reactions remain mixed, of course, though as was the case for The Pokémon Company’s first foray into live-action, audiences have been markedly more receptive to Sonic’s big-screen debut, acceptance that’s ultimately translated to massive commercial success.
That being the case, it goes without saying that Paramount will already be contemplating a potential sequel which, if certain post-credits...

“Sonic the Hedgehog” will have to worry about more than just a waxy mustached villain this weekend. Paramount’s family film will face box office competition from another kid-friendly adventure, Disney and 20th Century’s “The Call of the Wild.”
Harrison Ford and a dog named Buck star in “The Call of the Wild,” the latest big-screen adaptation of Jack London’s early 1900s novel. The PG film is expected to bring in $10 million to $18 million when it opens in 3,700 venues in North America over the weekend, likely not enough to supplant reigning champ “Sonic.”
After “Sonic’s” stellar $70 million launch over the Presidents’ Day holiday — cementing a new opening weekend record for video game adaptations — the movie should easily top box office charts again. “Sonic” could add another $25 million to $30 million to its domestic haul if it holds similarly to other video game adaptations like “Detective Pikachu” or Dwayne Johnson’s “Rampage.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Jean-Luc Godard's The Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company (1986), which is receiving an exclusive global online premiere on Mubi, is showing July 13 - August 12, 2018 as a Special Discovery.Alfred Hitchcock may have been the one who famously likened actors to cattle, but leave it to Jean-Luc Godard to actually depict the analogy. Throughout Godard’s Grandeur et décadence d’un petit commerce de cinéma (The Rise and Fall of a Small Film Company), his comic 1986 contribution to the multinational “Série noire” program, the iconoclastic French auteur pokes and prods a roundup of filmmaking measures, from the casting corral and the necessary financial wrangling to the ever-evolving technical wilderness of modern media. Recently born again into the world of narrative filmmaking, Godard began the 1980s with Sauve qui peut (la vie), a release he dubbed his “second first film.

Mubi's retrospective For Ever Godard is showing from November 12, 2017 - January 16, 2018 in the United States.Jean-Luc Godard is a difficult filmmaker to pin down because while his thematic concerns as an artist have remained more or less consistent over the last seven decades, his form is ever-shifting. His filmography is impossible to view in a vacuum, as his work strives to reflect on the constantly evolving cinema culture that surrounds it: Godard always works with the newest filmmaking technologies available, and his films have become increasingly abstracted and opaque as the wider culture of moving images has become increasingly fragmented. Rather than working to maintain an illusion of diegetic truth, Godard’s work as always foreground its status as a manufactured product—of technology, of an industry, of on-set conditions and of an individual’s imagination. Mubi’S Godard retrospective exemplifies the depth and range of Godard’s career as...

To accompany the exhaustive retrospective of the films of Jean-Luc Godard (49 programs in 21 days) that started as part of the New York Film Festival and runs through the end of October, I had planned to select my ten all-time favorite posters for Godard’s films. But when I sat down to the task and laid out the ten I’d chosen in front of me, the result was a selection of posters so overly familiar as to be banal. It looked like the postcard rack of any film bookstore in Paris. Much as I had hoped to choose less obvious designs, when it came down to it the posters created for Godard’s films in the 60s are hands down among the greatest film posters ever made: Clément Hurel’s Breathless, Chica’s Une femme est une femme, Jacques Vaissier’s Vivre sa vie, Georges Kerfyser’s Band à part and Une femme mariée,...

This translation is being published with their kind permission. This year's festival will take place from October 16-21, Kelly Reichardt will be the guest of honor. Many thanks to Emmanuel Burdeau, programmer of the festival, Jordan Mintzer and Caroline Champetier.
Caroline Champetier: I’ve always tried to take a step back from what I’m doing. The more I work, however, the less I’m able to deal with this exercise. I just finished production on Claude Lanzmann’s The Last of the Unjust and have barely said goodbye to David Teboul, a young director who I worked with on Cinq avenue Marceau (2002), a film I think very highly of and that’s about Yves Saint Laurent’s last collection.

'Dostoevskian' French actor with an aura of tormented youth
With his emaciated but hypnotically handsome face and lithe body, the French actor Laurent Terzieff, who has died of respiratory infection aged 75, graced the stage and films for more than half a century. There was always an aura of tormented youth about Terzieff which he carried into the classic roles of his maturity such as Luigi Pirandello's Henry IV (1989) and Shakespeare's Richard II (1991). His perfect diction and rhythmic precision made his rendering of Jean Cocteau's narration of Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex in Bob Wilson's production at the Théâtre du Châtelet in 1996 particularly exciting.
Terzieff's special talents were used by many of the great theatre producers of the day: Jean-Louis Barrault, Peter Brook, Roger Planchon, Maurice Garrel, Roger Blin and André Barsacq. He also directed dozens of plays, many at the Théâtre du Lucernaire in Montparnasse. Paradoxically, given his tormented persona as an actor,...

- Like all great French actresses, Julie Delpy’s performances burn through screens into the hearts of cinemaphiles everywhere. It’s not just her blonde locks or her milky skin that attracts viewers, but her ability to fine-tune a performance to the most miniscule nuance. Delpy made her screen debut under the direction of cinema maestro Jean Luc-Godard in Détective. Since then she has gone on to work with a slew of famous directors including Lasse Hallström Richard Linklater, and Krzysztof Kieslowski. Although born in France by two actors who play themselves in the film, Delpy cannot be claimed exclusively by the Parisians, for she is an internationally recognized icon of great cinema. 2 Days in Paris marks Delpy's sophomore feature effort and the film is a throwback/critique on New Wave romances mixing comedy, drama and depicting Paris in a not-so-romantic light. The film centers on bickering couple Marion and
