James Vanderbilt is offering insight into how he shot the courtroom showdown in his latest film, Nuremberg. The filmmaker, best known for writing David Fincher’s Zodiac, has come to San Sebastian Film Festival to present his two-and-a-half-hour World War II flick, following the cat-and-mouse game between Russell Crowe‘s Nazi chief Hermann Goring and Rami Malek‘s American psychologist Douglas Kelley as the U.S., U.K., France and Soviet Union prepared to put dozens of Hitler’s men on trial in 1945 and 1946. At the movie’s press conference on Thursday, Vanderbilt (also writer on The Amazing Spider-Man and Independence Day: Resurgence) discussed filming…

We’ve all watched the credits to a movie and passed some degree of judgment when the star of the movie is also listed as a producer of some sort. We’ll sometimes jump to the conclusion that it must be a vanity credit, one that was offered as sweetener in order to close an actor’s deal. But in the case of Madelaine Petsch’s The Strangers trilogy, her executive producer title is well-merited. Opening Sept. 26 in movie theaters, The Strangers: Chapters 2 once again chronicles Petsch’s Maya as she’s pursued across a small Oregon town by the titular serial killers. Petsch,…

The TV shows Succession, Andor and The Underground Railroad. The movies Moonlight, Don’t Look Up and The Big Short. And the list goes on.

Joachim Lafosse’s San Sebastian-bound feature Six Days in Spring is admittedly a deeply personal project. French actress Eye Haïdara (The Nannies, C’est la vie!) leads the Belgian director’s new film. She stars as Sana, a mother struggling to provide her 10-year-old twins (Teodor and Leonis Pinero Müller in their film debuts) with a spring vacation. When their plans collapse, she secretly takes them to a luxury villa on the French Riviera owned by her former in-laws. Over six days, joy and anxiety collide as the family hides in plain sight in what can be described as a biographical piece of filmmaking…

“What I am trying to show is that, despite the changes of the times, the essential value of ‘going to the cinema’ never changes,” says director Lee Jong-pil.

Shu Qi has spent her career embodying other people’s stories — enigmatic drifters for Hou Hsiao-hsien, comic foils in international action franchises, or, more recently, the tragic heroine of Bi Gan’s Cannes award winner Resurrection. With Girl, Taiwan’s most acclaimed screen star, now 49, turns the camera on herself, mining her childhood in 1980s Taipei for a bracingly personal directorial debut. The result is not nostalgia but something darker: a stark coming-of-age tale about inherited sorrow, cycles of violence, and the fleeting possibility of friendship and escape. It is, as Shu says, “a story that opens up a conversation about…

The organizers of the Canadian Screen Awards, the country’s Oscars and Emmys, are to end nomination eligibility for foreign talent, including American actors, starting with the 2026 edition. “In order to best celebrate and honor Canadians working on Canadian productions, individuals must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada to be eligible for a Canadian Screen Award,” the Academy said as tightened eligibility and voting rule changes unveiled Wednesday come amid rising U.S.-Canada diplomatic and trade tensions. Making CSAs eligibility exclusively available to homegrown talent or those with residency follows a rise in Canadian nationalism countrywide after U.S.…
