Matt Donnelly Senior Film WriterTo play the steel-edged movie executive at the center of “Swimming With Sharks,” Roku’s upcoming female-centered reboot of the Hollywood classic, Diane Kruger took a long look at her own experiences in show business.From her early modeling career to breaking into feature films in a dramatically different business landscape than the current one, Kruger has weathered the ups and downs that define many successful careers. But in playing a movie executive, one fond of hurling Louboutins at assistants and willing to sell her mother up the river to close a deal, she was struck by the differences in acceptable professional behavior over time.“I’ve definitely come across the Weinsteins of this world from the get go,” Kruger said during a conversation at the Variety SXSW Studio, in town for the first screening and panel surrounding “Swimming With Sharks.” “I remember testing for ‘Troy,'” she said of the 2003 Brad Pitt vehicle which launched Kruger in the U.S.

Earlier today, we shared the first five minutes of the new series, “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” That series, much like the new “Swimming with Sharks,” is an example of Hollywood dusting off an old property and giving it a nice, new coat of paint.

EXCLUSIVE: Two-time Emmy-nominated writer Theresa Rebeck is set to pen The Faithful for Concordia Studio, based on the true story of how a fight over land between St. Stanislaus Church and the St. Louis archdiocese became a battle to define the future of Catholicism. The story is based on the life of Father Marek Bozek.

The role that almost didn’t happen. Diane Kruger earned a ton of acclaim for her work in 2009’s Inglourious Basterds, but she recently said director Quentin Tarantino didn’t even want her in the film.

The glamorous spies of “The 355” were no competition for the movie theater’s reigning webslinger.Spider-Man’s box office dominance continued in its fourth weekend in theaters, adding another $33 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. With $668.8 million in North American ticket sales to date, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is now the sixth highest grossing release of all time domestically.

The quintet of women in the film packs major starpower. Jessica Chastain plays CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown, Diane Kruger (“In the Fade,” “National Treasure”) plays rival German agent Marie, Lupita Nyong’o portrays computer intelligence hacker Khadijah and Penélope Cruz rounds out the espionage foursome as Colombian therapist Graciela.

Universal and FilmNation’s greatly panned (24% on Rotten Tomatoes), but star-studded female spy movie The 355 is not off to the best of starts with $350K from Thursday night previews which started at 7PM yesterday at 2,300 theaters.

Where to start with Universal’s female-led action spy movie “The 355,” a staggeringly ill-conceived effort on every level if we’re going to put it lightly and politely. From all accounts, “The 355” was born on the set of “X-Men: Dark Phoenix” (a terrible movie, to be candid), wherein co-star Jessica Chastain said to the film’s writer/director Simon Kinberg (paraphrasing), “why don’t we do an action espionage movie with all-women leads?” Kinberg immediately said yes, and Chastain went into her Rolodex of famous friends and quickly found a star-studded cast to be on board.

It’s always a little suspect when too much is made of a big action movie being “female-fronted.” Unfortunately, Hollywood has decided lately that in course correcting for decades of gender inequity in certain genres that it’s not enough to just make an action-packed movie starring more than one woman: They must let the audience know that they know that this is A Girl Power Moment. And frankly, whether it’s the lady Avengers assembling in “Infinity War,” a montage of Girls Doing Sports and Science in the latest “Charlie’s Angeles,” or all of “Ocean’s 8,” it’s never not insulting to its purported audience.There have been subtler, cleverer and just plain better efforts at bringing women to the forefront of so-called male genres (from “Widows” to “Spy”), but it’s hard not to go into something like “ The 355,” which has been written about as a female “Jason Bourne” meets “Mission: Impossible” for over four years, a little wary.
