They all hate one another, Leila (the magnificent Taraneh Alidoosti) tells her brother Alireza (Navid Mohammad Zadeh) when he returns to the family home. It is a rare visit; he works in an industrial plant somewhere on the other side of Iran. He isn’t going to tell his family that he has been laid off with the promise of pay that has never materialized; in the Tehran family that crowds Saeed Roustaee ’s long and absorbing clan drama Leila’s Brothers , he is supposed to be the properly functioning son. What can you say about the other three brothers in this Cannes competition film? There is Manouchehr (Payman Maadi) who, as they all like to say, thinks with his pectorals. Parvis (Farhad Aslani) is very fat and a heavy drinker; they all expect him to die any day, though he does seem to keep fathering children successfully. Farhad (Mohammad Ali Mohammadi) is a shyster who could barely lie straight in bed, which might have something to do with why his wife is divorcing him, taking … [Read more...] about Cannes Review: Saeed Roustaee’s ‘Leila’s Brothers’

China recently set release dates for two summer films – Universal’s Jurassic World Dominion on June 10 and big local-language production Mozart From Space (by the director of the Detective Chinatown series) on July 15. That’s good news for the giant market’s reopening, said Imax CEO Rich Gelfond . But he doesn’t expect heightened scrutiny of Hollywood fare to subside anytime soon despite the Jurassic news . China has declined to date many high-profile U.S. films with recent Marvel omissions perhaps the most glaring. At a media conference Q&A Wendesday, Gelfond called 2021 “a really funky year” for U.S. films in China. The exec is especially interested on that market given his company’s significant exposure there. First, “the Chinese had their own backlog of unreleased films so there weren’t going to let in a lot of Marvel films and other films,” he said. Also, there was a “large, failed PVOD experience, where pristine copies went day-and-date … [Read more...] about Imax CEO Rich Gelfond Sees China’s Hard Line On Hollywood Continuing

From a cramped hotel suite in a luxury Cannes hotel, a pair of film executives are trying to pull off an unlikely feat: Sell distribution rights to Kevin Spacey ’s comeback film. On May 17, Vantage Media International, or VMI, a Hollywood-based company that sells movies primarily to foreign markets, screened a finished print of the noir drama Peter Five Eight to would-be buyers willing to take a gamble on the two-time Oscar winner’s first leading role since his career came to a grinding halt in 2017 amid accusations of sexual misconduct. “The feedback is very good. People say it’s a quality film,” says VMI president of sales J.D. Beuafils. “But it’s really, really early on [in the deal-making].” In a room filled with marketing materials for VMI films like Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon and the Sam Worthington-Machine Gun Kelly Western The Last Son , the company’s COO Jessica Bennett offers an equally vague assessment when asked if the … [Read more...] about Kevin Spacey, James Franco, and More Are Trying to Make Comebacks at Cannes

The decade following the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary has proved that the Republican Party’s infatuation with guns is stronger than any reservations it may have about children being slaughtered. Conservative gun worship has been reaffirmed in the wake of shooting after shooting, and it shouldn’t be surprising that after at least 21 people, including at least 19 children, were killed in Uvalde, Texas, on Tuesday by a teenager who bought two assault rifles shortly after his 18th birthday , Republican politicians and right-wing media chose guns over the nation’s children. The reaction was especially egregious on Fox News , which decided to put bloviating pundits front and center as information about what happened became public, ignore even the most basic tenets of journalism in favor of reckless speculation, and bring on a steady procession of “experts” to offer harebrained solutions for the epidemic of people with guns killing people in schools. Here are a few examples … [Read more...] about Fox News’ Coverage of the Uvalde Shooting Was Sickening

Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rachel Morrison ’s feature directorial debut Flint Strong has moved from Universal to MGM , with Brian Tyree Henry ( Atlanta ) coming aboard to star, Deadline can confirm. Henry joins an ensemble that also includes Ryan Destiny and Oluniké Adeliyi, as previously announced. The film will continue shooting next week in Toronto following a prolonged shutdown precipitated by the Covid pandemic. Henry takes over the role initially to have been played by Ice Cube, who worked on the project for just two days back in March of 2020, before production was indefinitely delayed. Flint Strong is a boxing drama based on Zackary Canepari and Drea Cooper’s 2015 documentary, T-Rex . It will tell the true story of Claressa “T-REX” Shields (Destiny), a 17-year-old Flint, Michigan native whose dreams of becoming the first woman in history to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing came to fruition at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Adeliyi is … [Read more...] about Brian Tyree Henry Boards ‘Flint Strong’, From Oscar Nom Rachel Morrison, As Project Moves From Universal To MGM

Inspiration can come from the most unanticipated places, like walking the dog in the park or buying a soft pretzel at the mall. For Morgan Cooper , it came in 2019 while driving down Route 71 in Kansas City, Missouri. Heading home after shooting a low-budget beauty commercial, Cooper concocted a plan to turn ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air into a gritty short film, with Will Smith ’s iconic character reimagined as an unlucky Philly teen who gets caught with a gun during a playground brawl. Rather than face a certain future behind bars, his Uncle Phil works some attorney magic and arranges for Will to start over in the wealthy Southern California neighborhood where he would attend an elite private school. Filmed in eight days with hometown actors and locations in Kansas City and Burbank, the three-and-a-half-minute potboiler was never meant to serve as a grassroots resume for a gig in Hollywood; Morgan just wanted to have some fun. “I built my career on … [Read more...] about ‘Bel-Air’ Director Morgan Cooper’s Life Was Turned Around By A Three-And-A-Half Minute YouTube Video — Deadline Disruptors

Your home might appear to be clean, but looks can be deceiving. In fact, your home is probably dirtier than you think. From taking care of pet fur to cleaning up dust, having a vacuum cleaner for deep cleaning is an essential item to keep around the house. But not all vacuum cleaners are designed equally, and just any old vacuum cleaner won’t do if you’re looking to give your living space the deep clean it routinely needs. Here’s what you need to know to find the best vac. How Often Should You Be Vacuuming? It’s generally recommended that you vacuum at least once a week, though you may need to vacuum more often if you have pets or have carpet flooring or rugs throughout your home. Skin, dust, and other particles can get lodged into the carpet, and the more time that passes the harder it is to thoroughly clean. The accumulation of … [Read more...] about RS Recommends: The Most Powerful Vacuums to Clean Any Mess
