The Lido is in a frenzy for Wolfs.

Backed by the star power of its veteran A-list stars, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, the Jon Watts-directed film from Apple and Sony had a triumphant world premiere at the Venice Film Festival late Sunday night on the Lido. Expectedly, the crush of fans and media situated outside Palazzo del Cinema went wild for the pair as they arrived on the scene ahead of the screening. And once the final frames hit the screen and the credits rolled, Wolfs received a nearly five-minute standing ovation. Pitt and Clooney seemed to be soaking up the attention, with Pitt singing along to Sade and Clooney offering a “Grazie” to close it out.

Wolfs, also written by Watts, casts Pitt and Clooney as fixers who accidentally end up working the same job. Produced by Clooney’s Smokehouse and Pitt’s Plan B, the film also stars Amy Ryan,...

Brad Pitt and George Clooney hugged and danced at the Venice Film Festival on Sunday night as the two megastars’ latest film, “Wolfs,” received a polite four-minute standing ovation.

The premiere itself was delayed by more than 30 minutes as fans crowded into Venice’s Sala Grande in an attempt to catch a glimpse at Pitt and Clooney. When the duo finally arrived inside, the sound — and general vibe — in the theater could only be described as carnal. Both actors took to different sides of the carpet, signing autographs and taking selfies, before being whisked away to their seats by security.

As the two stars entered the theater, they greeted the eager crowd with a booming “Buonasera!,” prompting some fans to shout back in hopes of being noticed. Even as the film began rolling, the chaos continued, with those without tickets scrambling to find any empty seats. Some were ejected during...

Despite Valorant‘s huge popularity, the game is right now getting a lot of complaints from the community. Right now, this 5v5 Fps title is infested with toxic players, leavers, and throwers who are absolutely disrupting the gameplay experience.

Another complaint from the fans is the constant rise of bugs and glitches. Recently we have seen Clove wasn’t able to pull their ult because Cypher already pulled his one on their corpse. Now, the latest complaints are coming against a completely different aspect of the game.

Valorant Fans Want a Change in the In-Game Store

In Valorant, except for the featured bundle in the current act, you can’t choose what you want to buy. For example, one may be waiting for the Champions 2023 Vandal, but it has still never popped out. That’s why a fan has come up with an innovative idea.

The two huge video game platforms on PC that always have discounts are the Epic Games Store and the biggest one, Steam. In a recent promotional trailer, Valve is anticipating the Steam Fps Fest 2024, a new discount week that will be filled with first-person shooter games and demos to try.

This kind of event will begin on April 15 and end on April 22. Some titles that will be part of this Fest will be Crysis 3, Rust, Far Cry 6, Depth, Ultrakill, and many more. Valve is really trying to change things so that players can see all the possibilities they have.

Monday’s blind auditions episode of “The Voice” Season 19 began with a whopping 31 of the Top 40 artists having already found homes on one of the four teams. Three of the coaches had acquired eight contestants apiece, while the fourth (John Legend) was right behind with seven members. Only a trio of artists had wowed the panel enough to become four-chair turns, with Tamara Jade and Cami Clune joining Team Legend and Desz picking Team Kelly. With the blind auditions now complete, did tonight’s two-hour episode feature anymore four-chair moments?

Barcelona-based Filmax has acquired the world sales rights to “The Art of Return” – a Spanish production by first-time director Pedro Collantes nurtured through Venice’s renowned Biennale College film workshop initiative.

The boutique distributor will also handle the Spanish distribution for this coming-of-age drama, which focuses on a young actress (“Holy Camp’s” Macarena García) returning home to Madrid after six years in New York.

The action takes place over a 24-hour period in the protagonist’s home city, where she has a series of encounters that cause her to reassess her life.

Set to make its debut Sept. 8 at the Venice Film Festival, the film was co-written by Collantes and the Spanish screenwriter Daniel Remón (“Out in the Open”), who is also making his feature debut as a producer on this production.

Executive producers are Tourmalet Films’ Mayi Gutiérrez Cobo (“Stockholm”) and the producer and line manager Manuel Fernandez-Arango “(Destronados,...

In today’s Global Bulletin young U.K. directors get a powerful new resource in Director Now from “Humans” director Lewis Arnold, Endemol Shine Poland starts shooting “The Crack,” Starzplay gets “High Fidelity” in Latin America and parts of Europe, plus Australia Media House and Leonine announce major hires.

Directors

More than 100 emerging U.K. directors have joined together to launch Directors Now, a free downloadable document in which each shares their unique backstory, musings and anecdotes about working in the industry today.

Meant as a resource for the next generation of filmmakers, the document was put together in part to counteract the negative impact the Covid-19 situation has had on new filmmakers who might otherwise have been starting their careers if circumstances were more normal.

Directors Now was created and edited by director Lewis Arnold, who also frequently teaches at the University of Gloucestershire and the National Film and Television School.

First Look Media’s Topic Studios announced Christy Gressman, formerly with podcast network Night Vale Presents, as VP, executive producer of podcasts, and revealed several new shows in development.

Gressman was formerly a partner and executive producer at Night Vale Presents, whose podcasts include “Welcome to Night Vale,” “Sleep With Me,” “Conversations With People Who Hate Me,” and “The Orbiting Human Circus.” At Night Vale, she oversaw network-wide show development, production and distribution.

Based in New York, Gressman — who first joined Topic Studios in January 2020 — reports to Maria Zuckerman, EVP of Topic Studios. In her new role, Gressman will lead Topic Studios’ podcast vertical, overseeing all aspects of series creative and production, as well as distribution strategy. She will help define the editorial vision, build the brand’s presence in the podcast marketplace, and drive the audio business as part of Topic Studios’ overall strategy across TV, film and documentaries,...

Library deals, remake rights deals, movie production — Spanish film sales agents are diversifying in multiple ways to battle the uncertainty of current times.

The coronavirus pandemic has added another wrinkle to an already complex landscape, with sales agents at the crossroads between traditional distribution and streaming platforms.

In February, as the shock waves of the Covid-19 crisis threatened to reach the Berlinale, Spanish sales companies were rapidly doing business. But deals were already impacted by the impending pandemic.

“Everything was rushed after Berlin,” says Iván Díaz, head of international at Filmax, who at the European Film Market clinched several territory-by-territory sales on David Victori’s psychological thriller “No matarás” (“Cross the Line”), toplining Spanish star Mario Casas.

Mainly acquired for theatrical release, the film’s buyers include Wild Bunch in France, Russian Report for Cis, Cai Chang for Taiwan and Dexin for former Yugoslavia. Further contracts negotiated at the Efm were signed several weeks after.

Variety highlights a selection of Spanish titles being moved at this year’s Cannes Marché du Film.

Three or so years ago, a new generation of directors, many women, were beginning to break out in Catalonia. That was no flash in the pan.

Following on Nely Reguera’s “María (and Everybody Else)” and Carla Simón’s Berlinale Generation Kplus pic “Summer 1993,” first features by Diana Toucedo (“Thirty Souls”), Meritxell Colell (“Facing the Wind”), Neus Ballús (“The Plague”) and Celia Rico (“Journey to a Mother’s Room”) have set the film festival circuit alight, garnering bullish reviews and a slew of prizes. Many of these women are now on to their second or third features: Simón with “Alcarrás,” Ballús (“The Odd-Job Men”), Colell, Rico (“The Little Loves”), Pilar Palomero (“La maternal”) and Reguera (“The Grandson”), among others.

Now, women producers are taking center stage: Belén Sánchez at Un Capricho Producciones (Lucía Alemeny’s “The Innocence”), Patricia Franquesa at Gadea Films (Laura Herrero’s “La Mami”) are succeeding. Many...

Cesc Gay’s “The People Upstairs,” David Victori’s “Cross the Line,” Kike Maíllo’s “A Perfect Enemy” and David Matamoros and Ángeles Hernández’s “Isaac” are among a robust 11-feature pack offered by Upcoming Catalan Films at Cannes’ online Marché du Film.

An acclaimed Catalan director of dramedy focused on middle-aged, urban, often lost characters, in “The People Upstairs” Gay (“Truman”) depicts an ordinary situation— a couple having dinner with neighbors — in which a friendly time together gradually slips towards emotional upheaval.

Mario Casas-starrer “Cross the Line” is director David Victori’s (“The Pact”) second feature. A one-night thriller, it follows a more or less good guy dedicated to taking care of his sick father who, after his dad passes, decides to get his life back on track. In the process, he “asks questions of himself he never imagined he would,” Victori explains.

“A Perfect Enemy” is the newest thriller from Kike Maíllo.

The Spanish company also boards sales on The Barcelona Vampiress.

After a buyer’s-only market screening premiere at the Efm, Barcelona-based company Filmax has already closed several sales on the thriller Cross The Line, including France (Wild Bunch), Cis (Russian Report), Taiwan (Cai Chang) and Former Yugoslavia (Dexin).

The film is a Filmax production directed by David Victori (The Pact) and starring Mario Casas, one of Spain’s top stars, playing an all-round good guy who buys a round-the world-ticket to start a new chapter in his life after his father’s death and ends up in a hellish journey.

In 2012, the Avett Brothers joined Randy Travis for a taping of Cmt Crossroads, a musical union that deftly matched the rootsy folk of the North Carolina band with the traditional country of fellow North Carolinian Travis. Seven years on, it stands as one of the best, most seamless Crossroads, a testament to the musicianship of the Avetts and the singing prowess of Travis, who no longer performs after suffering a stroke in 2013.

During a concert last weekend in Mississippi, the Avetts nodded to that pairing and their continuing respect for...

Before The Voice rang the final bell on its Season 15 Knockouts Monday, the sing-off’s coaches sent to the Top 24 an additional nine contestants, among them, one who’d always seemed destined to go the distance, one who I’d swear was drawing sartorial inspiration from Three’s Company’s Mrs. Roper, and one who will likely forever be known as much for her “stank face” as her vocals. But, did we at last see the end of Ben Affleck Lite, Steve Memmelo? Read on, and we’ll review not only his but all the performances.

This Friday will see the release of a horror film called “Flatliners,” a movie title that should be instantly familiar to anyone who spent the ’90s trawling the shelves of their local video store in search of something — anything — to watch that weekend. Perhaps best remembered as the crusty VHS that was always sandwiched between “The Fisher King” and “Fried Green Tomatoes,” the original “Flatliners” was an asinine but atmospheric psychological horror thing that starred Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, Oliver Platt, and Billy Baldwin as foolhardy med students who start experimenting with life after death. Nothing goes wrong and they all live happily ever after.

Now, perhaps motivated by the fact that the mere act of making a movie in 2017 feels like an experiment with life after death, Hollywood is about to unleash a remake starring Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemons. Directed by Niels Arden Oplev,...

The Walking Dead‘s Season 7 premiere drew 17 million total viewers and an 8.4 rating (or 10.7 million viewers) in the coveted 18-49 demo, just shy of the series records (17.3 mil/8.7) set by its Season 5 opener.

Though the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead was hard as hell on us viewers, Michael Cudlitz took it — and Abraham’s fate — like a champ.

Warning: The following contains massive spoilers for the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead.

Having directed the polarizing Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead, Greg Nicotero is keenly aware that many viewers wouldn’t mind if his head made a date with Lucille. But during a conference call with reporters Monday, he pointed out that “if we killed someone and [the audience was] just like, ‘Ok, well, no big deal, I’m gonna go have a bagel,’ then that means that we haven’t done something to connect our people to the characters.” In other words, as upset as you may be, he done good.

Warning: On the off chance that there’s anyone left who hasn’t seen or read all about the Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead, this article is a veritable spoilerama.

In an interview posted by AMC Monday, Steven Yeun elaborates on his character’s death in Sunday’s The Walking Dead premiere, saying that he played Glenn’s good-bye to pregnant wife Maggie “as sincere as you possibly could in a moment where you are just glitching.”

Even if you didn’t watch, you’re likely aware that Glenn was one of two victims Negan killed during the episode...

Dwain Worrell, the brothers and Anthony Feole co-wrote the screenplay about a 911 operator and her estranged police officer husband dragged into a game of cat-and-mouse with a sadistic caller.

“So a little over a year later, it’s very gratifying to see that they have upped their craft with Operator. The film is full of daring action stunts that propel the narrative to an edge-of-your-seat level.
