Then-ABC president Fred Silverman canceled all promotional activity for the series and had some references toned down a bit before…
The uproar over Timothée Chalamet‘s comments on opera and ballet may have died down, but the star’s Call Me by Your Name director has belatedly come to his defense. Luca Guadagnino spoke to Italian daily La Stampa over the weekend ahead of the premiere of his adaptation of John Adams’ 1991 opera, The Death of Klinghoffer, in Florence. The filmmaker, whose gay 2017 age-gap romance threw Chalamet into the mainstream and earned him his first Oscar nomination, touched on the 30-year-old’s viral faux pas earlier this year, where he said “no one really cares” about ballet or opera.

The first quarter of every cinematic calendar year is always split between looking backward and looking forward. After all, between January and March, waves of awards must be handed out to last year’s movies before Hollywood can collectively agree to move on and focus on this year’s movies. While first-quarter success stories like Project Hail Mary or Hoppers and early-bird festivals like Sundance and SXSW offer some taste of what’s to come, Oscar night has to come and go before the calendar page can be fully turned. That’s why 2027 begins in earnest with CinemaCon, the exhibition industry’s answer to…

Sunrise on the Reaping was already one of the most anticipated franchise movies on the calendar. Now the new trailer has made the wait feel even longer. Lionsgate has released a new…
