Rian Johnson might not be open to a Knives Out feature starring The Muppets, but he seems to have given his blessing to Netflix’s new Sesame Street short about detective Beignet Blanc investigating the disappearance of Cookie Monster’s triple berry pie.

Though Club Chalamet started off as just another stan account, The Wall Street Journal reports that Simone Cromer — the woman behind the Timothée-obsessed page — has found new success on Substack where she has generated enough revenue to “cover the cost of her summer vacation to Italy” with just a few hundred subscribers.

The first trailer for Mother Mary — the latest from The Green Knight director David Lowery — promises that it’s neither a ghost story nor a love story. But it sure looks like a little of both, as well a love letter to the power of pop music (and a good dress). It hits theaters next spring.

Not every day you get to physically own a meme!

Fortnite’s next major event takes place on Saturday, followed by an all new chapter, but a day later something weirder and more interesting happens: an animated Kill Bill short will premiere in the game, built using Unreal Engine and Fortnite characters.

The digital movie rental shop is slated to debut in early December. Letterboxd describes it as “curated shelves instead of just scrolling lists endlessly without being able to make up your mind on what to watch.”

The new trailer for Amazon MGM’s adaptation of Alex Weir’s novel Project Hail Mary teases a bit more of the catastrophe that’s imperiling Earth, but it’s mostly about the friendship that’s going to develop between astronaut Dr. Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) and an alien that looks like a pile of rocks.

Here’s a couple of facts for you, apropos of nothing: it has been less than a decade since Moana hit US theaters, and not even 12 months since Moana 2 followed it. And yet, here we are.

The concept of a live-action Moana adaptation feels pretty premature until you remember that the original animated movie came out almost a decade ago. The new movie hits theaters on July 10, 2026.

Apropos of it being Monday, Nintendo has just shared a handful of new photos from its upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie starring Bo Bragason and Benjamin Evan. The pics don’t tell us much about the movie’s story, but Zelda’s blue outfit suggests it’ll involve elements from the Breath of the Wild timeline.

The final trailer has arrived for what my colleague Andrew Webster calls Benoit Blanc’s “darkest and most complex” outing yet, which sees the detective solving a murder inside a small church community.

I mean, it was probably inevitable, right? The Hollywood Reporter reports that Sony has snapped up the film rights for the weird little toys, though no director or writer are attached just yet.

That’s what Christopher Nolan shot for The Odyssey. By comparison, Oppenheimer’s three-hour IMAX reels were 11 miles long — or about 60,000 feet. Since The Odyssey was shot entirely on IMAX film, two million feet of film at 24 frames-per-second works out to around 100 hours of footage. This might be a long edit.

In Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, a strange man (Sam Rockwell) needs everyone in a diner to believe that he’s really from a future where humanity has been all but destroyed artificial intelligence. His story’s wild, but to people living in 2025, it’s not all that hard to believe. Movie’s out February 13th.

What was once a department store inside of the King of Prussia Mall has become a new (and now open) Netflix House entertainment venue where you can “explore more than 100,000 square feet of immersive experiences” inspired by some of the streamer’s shows like Wednesday, One Piece, and Squid Game.

Nintendo is going to release the first proper trailer for Super Mario Galaxy — the movie, not the game — on Wednesday at 9AM ET. You can probably expect to see an appearance from Yoshi.

The unified cut Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill films that merges Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 into a four-hour-long action epic is finally coming to theaters across the country on December 5th. There will be special screenings of 35mm and 70mm prints, and theatergoers will have a 15 minute intermission for bathroom breaks.

It’s a good day to stay home: the first two episodes of Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus are now on Apple TV, while Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is on Netflix after a brief theatrical run. And if you’re looking for more after you watch, here are my interviews with Gilligan and Frankenstein creature designer Mike Hill.

Arco was one of my favorite movies at this year’s Toronto film festival, a mix of Miyazaki, Moebius, and a classic time travel story. Now you can see how good it looks for yourself in this new trailer. It hits select theaters on November 14th, with a wide release in early 2026.

There’s a new trailer for director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael (Jackson) biopic starring Jackson’s nephew Jafaar in the titular role.
