Sundance 2023 Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

With HBO‘s “Succession” ending at the end of the month, it’s time for its cast to start thinking about future projects. In Sarah Snook‘s case, she tries her hand at horror in the upcoming Netflix film “Run Rabbit Run,” which had its premiere at Sundance earlier this year.

It was supposed to be a breakout role for the ages for Jonathan Majors and a favorite in this year’s award season. Now it looks like “Magazine Dreams” will stay on Searchlight‘s shelf indefinitely.

Need a twisty, genre-bending thriller this holiday season? Look no further than “Eileen,” William Oldroyd‘s first feature since 2016’s “Lady Macbeth.” And Oldroyd could do much worse for his latest film than adapting the debut novel of Ottessa Moshfegh, one of the premier female novelists in contemporary American literature.

Most people know Alice Englert as the daughter of the great New Zealand auteur Jane Campion. And some may know her as an actress from films like “Them That Follow,” “Body Brokers,” and Campion‘s “The Power Of The Dog.” But Englert is a filmmaker, too, and her feature debut, “Bad Behavior,” is ready for its theatrical release in New Zealand next month.

In a different timeline, you might be talking a lot more about “Cassandro.” And, frankly, you should. Roger Ross Williams‘ feature directorial debut found strong reviews out of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and was set for a bit of an awards season burst at Telluride.

After screening work at the Tribeca Film Festival, Rotterdam, and SXSW, NYC filmmaker Laura Moss made their feature directorial debut at Sundance this past January with “birth/rebirth.” And it didn’t disappoint at the festival: The Playlist’s review says “Moss presents the movie as an eerie amalgam, stitching together horror roots with an off-kilter tone, dreamlike framing, and a focus on human sin over monster shenanigans.

After eight films and a limited series, Xavier Dolan says he’s retiring from filmmaking. The news comes from Spanish outlet El País, who interviewed the filmmaker about his new limited series “The Night Logan Woke Up.” Despite premiering the series’ first two episodes at Sundance this past January, an American release for it has yet to be announced.

Given the 10 million films that premiere at the Sundance Film Festival every year—give or take :D— you’ll be forgiven if you didn’t quite remember “Scrapper.” Premiering in the World Cinema Drama section—where it won that top prize—by all accounts, the film, directed by Charlotte Regan and starring up-and-comer Harris Dickinson (“Beach Rats,” “Triangle of Sadness”), is just as its title suggests: scrappy, endearing and charming.

Twins Danny Philippou & Michael Philippou have already taken YouTube by storm with their channel/moniker RackaRacka, their outlet for live-action horror comedy videos. Now the filmmaking brothers are ready for their feature debut and have the right studio backing them in A24.

Fresh off its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, Davis Guggenheim‘s “Still: A Michael J. Fox” movie hits Apple TV+ next month.

Leave it to “Blade” star Stephen Dorff to torch superhero movies and how far he feels they’ve fallen. At the Sundance Film Festival to support the premiere of his latest movie, Eddie Alcazar‘s gonzo sci-fi odyssey “Divinity,” Dorff talked with The Daily Beast about how he feels about the present Hollywood climate, in particular Marvel movies.

Not yet thirty years old, Mia Goth has already collaborated with several world-renowned filmmakers for her willingness to follow their most demented muses. Her girlish appearance strikes a shocking contrast with the atrocity exhibitions that she gravitates toward: eagerly taking to sexual grooming in Lars Von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac;” undergoing forcible insemination and grisly spaghettification with Claire Denis in “High Life;” becoming an insane asylum’s incestuous princess for Gore Verbinski in “A Cure for Wellness;” witnessing her own disembowelment as part of the orgiastic blood ritual Luca Guadagnino that’s the grand finale to “Suspiria;” manifesting a century of madness for Ti West’s in-progress trio of period pieces of “X,” “Pearl,” and the upcoming “Maxxxine.” And so it’s no surprise that Goth’s latest outing is another twisted affair: Brandon Cronenberg‘s “Infinity Pool,” which takes place at a Mediterranean beach resort that hides a violent and depraved sub-culture.
