The deal covers all territories except France, Germany, Italy and CIS. Written, directed, produced by and starring Garcia, Diamond transports a 1940s-style gumshoe into present-day Los Angeles. Garcia plays Joe Diamond, a private detective who dresses in vintage three-piece suits, narrates his days in hardboiled voiceover and carries a traumatic past. He’s an urban legend with a knack for cracking cases the LAPD can’t. When a wealthy widow (Vicky Krieps) hires him to prove she…

When I park five stories down past an executive’s assigned space and walk into an office to find a dude in a quarter-zip and box-fresh Allbirds, I can tell there will be a problem before the meeting even starts. This person does not know what a movie executive is supposed to look like. This person does not dress like the movies. This person does not watch the movies. This person does not love the movies. I have been in these rooms before. After another viral music video, another festival hit, another short, I’m back in the office of some producer,…

The Odyssey’s box office journey is not slowing down as it sailed past $600 million globally this weekend. After notching $123.5 million domestically last weekend, the Christopher Nolan epic brought in another $87 million million at the domestic box office. That’s a decline of just 30 percent, an extremely good hold for a blockbuster. In terms of holds, that’s the third best ever for a film that opened to more than $100 million, behind only Wicked and Top Gun: Maverick. It’s $87 million sum is the second best weekend two ever for an R-rated film, behind Deadpool & Wolverine‘s $97…

Laughs and an appreciation of Rick Moranis were plentiful as Amazon MGM’s Spaceballs: The New One, a sequel to the 1987 Mel Brooks Star Wars parody, flew into San Diego Comic-Con’s cavernous Hall H Friday afternoon.

The actor played villain Dark Helmet in the original 1987 movie but has been largely absent from movies and television for most of this century, so his return with the Spaceballs sequel is headline…

It never aired, and when the Walt Disney Co. bought Lucasfilm in 2012, it was feared the show would never be seen again. Star Wars fans and the public, however, will finally be able to see at least some of episodes as part of the expansive exhibitions set to be seen at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. “There is going to be a curation of episodes of that show on display for the public,” revealed Seth Green, who created the show…
