Exclusive: Bill Holderman and Erin Simms, who collaborated on Paramount’s upcoming Book Club starring Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen, have signed with Wme. Holderman directed the comedy and co-wrote the script with Simms, and both produced the pic that hits theaters May 18.
The pair previously worked together at Robert Redford’s Wildwood Entertprises, where they teamed on 2015’s A Walk in the Woods, which Holderman wrote and produced, and Simms was an associate producer. The Sundance-bowing pic grossed $37.5 million globally.
Holderman’s recent producing credits include Bleecker Street’s October 12 bow What They Had starring Hilary Swank and Michael Shannon; Fox Searchlight’s Old Man and the Gun with Redford, Casey Affleck and Sissy Spacek due out next year via Fox Searchlight; and the the BBC/PBS documentary series American Epic which bowed at the Sundance Film Festival.

Visionary filmmakers James Cameron (Avatar) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) create a groundbreaking new heroine in Alita: Battle Angel, an action-packed story of hope, love and empowerment.
20th Century Fox has debuted an amazing first trailer for Alita: Battle Angel starring Rosa Salazar, Christoph Waltz, Jennifer Connelly, Mahershala Ali, Ed Skrein, Jackie Earle Haley and Keean Johnson.
An ambitious film from the studio, Alita: Battle Angel will be in theaters everywhere on July 20, 2018 in 3D & IMAX.
In May 2006, Variety reported that Cameron had spent the past ten months developing technology to produce the film and it looks like he suceeded with the melding of live action and a CGI rendered character. From this first look, the main character in Alita: Battle Angel is reminiscent of 2001’s Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita (Rosa Salazar) is found in the scrapyard of Iron City...

“Dunkirk” is officially less than three weeks away, and director Christopher Nolan has begun making the press rounds in advance of the release of his WWII drama. In a first person essay penned for The Telegraph, Nolan gets into the difficulty that went into trying to get the movie made in the first place and the pitch that sealed the deal with Warner Brothers.
The biggest obstacle facing “Dunkirk” right now here in the states is that most American audiences are probably not familiar with the real events of Operation Dynamo, in which the British Air Force and Navy had to come up with a plan to rescue thousands of Allied soldiers were surrounded by German forces and stranded on Dunkirk beach. The story is inherently British, but in order to make the movie it...

Certainly, no shortage of critical ink has been spilled over “There Will Be Blood.” Paul Thomas Anderson’s ferociously ambitious American epic has rightly been hailed by many as one of the finest achievements of the last few decades or so of popular cinema, and the recent announcement that star Daniel Day-Lewis would be reuniting with Anderson for a period drama set in the world of New York high fashion has seen collective cinephile enthusiasm practically shooting through the roof.

Michel Gondry’s latest film “Microbe and Gasoline,” about two friends who embark on a road trip across France in a vehicle they built themselves, premiered at last year’s New York Film Festival before being released in limited release this past July. It received mostly positive reviews from critics who praised Gondry’s restraint in contrast to his usual fantastical whimsy. Now, Gondry has returned with another directorial effort, only this time it’s a music video for the now-defunct modern blues group The White Stripes.

Jack White, one half of the White Stripes, recently shared a previously unreleased White Stripes track entitled “City Lights,” which will appear on his career-spanning new compilation album “Acoustic Recordings 1998-2016.” Gondry apparently whipped up a music video for the song “as a gift,” according to a press release,...

Silence, the long-gestating period piece hailing from Martin Scorsese, reportedly clocks in at 195 minutes in length, making it the director’s longest film by quite a stretch.
Word comes by way of Variety reporter Kris Tapley (via The Playlist), who revealed that the Oscar hopeful – which stars Liam Neeson and Andrew Garfield as two Jesuit Catholic priests on a pilgrimage to Japan – is shaping up to be a bum-numbing three hours and 15 minutes.
For the sake of perspective, that’s a fair bit longer than both The Wolf of Wall Street (three hours) and beloved mob pic Casino (two hours 58 minutes), though it’s worth keeping in mind that Paramount Pictures will likely nip and tuck Silence in time for theatrical release. Also of note is that Gangs of New York initially clocked in at an eye-watering three hours and 35 minutes before The Weinstein Company wrangled the American epic down...

The Avett Brothers stopped by The Tonight Show for a rootsy performance of new song "Satan Pulls the String." The band released their ninth album, True Sadness, last Friday.
Scott and Seth Avett passionately delivered the bluegrass track with their full band. The performance wrapped with a quick banjo, fiddle and guitar jam session at the end.
The Avett Brothers will be touring in support of their Rick Rubin-produced album this summer, with dates across North America scheduled through October. In February, they'll play several nights at the Hard Rock Hotel in Riviera Maya,...

Jack White knows which direction his obsessions with American folk, blues and country steered him as an artist. "When you get back to Howlin' Wolf, Charley Patton, Robert Johnson – it basically begins there, and that's the best it ever was and the best it's ever going to be," White declared Thursday night onstage at the Sundance Film Festival, following a preview of the ambitious six-hour American Epic documentary series for PBS.

Quentin Tarantino’s audacious talent as a screenwriter powers this brilliantly cast, superbly scored and horribly violent epic about a bunch of snowed-in desperadoes
A new film from the brilliant and pitiless Quentin Tarantino has arrived in cinemas, on a colossal 70mm Panavision print. That is a costly specification, evidently responsible in part for limiting the number of British cinemas able to show it, though audiences could next year be watching on their smartphones’ 70mm screens.
The Hateful Eight is another inspired pulp provocation: a Jacobean western that is also an American epic set mostly in just one room: intimate yet gigantic. It is horribly violent, exhilaratingly intelligent, discursive and sinewy – brutal and cerebral in this director’s signature ludic style, and blessed with a superb score by 87-year-old Ennio Morricone. The sinuously catchy theme trails its disquiet across the film’s snowy landscape.
