Blonde is one of the year’s most hotly anticipated films – and as one of its most controversial.

Its director Andrew Dominik told Ben Dalton at ScreenDaily. “Blonde is the best movie in the world right now. Blonde is a knockout. It’s a masterpiece.”

Don’t Worry Darling“Don’t Worry Darling”
Harry Styles and Florence Pugh play Jack and Alice, a couple living a seemingly-perfect life in 1950s America: they’re young, beautiful and happily married, Jack has a well-paid job, Alice is friendly with the area’s other housewives, and they live in a Californian desert town designed to be a utopia. But, of course, something is very wrong – and Jack’s smug boss (Chris Pine) could be behind it. The second film directed by Olivia Wilde, Don’t Worry Darling is a psychological horror with unnerving echoes of The Stepford Wives, The Truman Show and The Matrix. “I guess all of my movies have that element of women being forced into a corner, forced into an opinion, forced into a way of life,” Pugh told Andrea Cuttler at Harper’s Bazaar. “And then finally, something cracks.”

However, something is very wrong – Jack’s smug boss (played by Chris Pine) may be the one who started it.

The string finally broke.”

Pinocchio“Pinocchio”
Matteo Garrone made a wonderful Italian adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s classic novel in 2019, but that hasn’t stopped two big-name directors pitching in with their own versions. In November, we’re due to see Guillermo del Toro’s darkly satirical stop-motion animation. But first we have Robert Zemeckis’s live-action / CGI remake of the Disney cartoon. Tom Hanks stars as Geppetto the lonely carpenter, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth voices the wooden boy he carves, Cynthia Erivo is the Blue Fairy who brings Pinocchio to life, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices the animated Jiminy Cricket. Judging by the trailer, Zemeckis has followed the cartoon closely, but whether he includes the scene in which Pinocchio smokes a massive cigar remains to be seen.
Matteo Galloni turned Carlo Collodi’s classic fairy tale into a brilliant Italian film in 2019, but that didn’t stop the two big-name directors from making their own “Pinocchio.” This November we’ll get to see Guillermo del Toro’s darkly satirical stop-motion animated film. However, Robert Zemeckis’ live-action + computer-generated animation of the original Disney animation will meet us first. Tom Hanks plays the lone carpenter Geppetto, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth voices the carpenter-carved puppet boy, and Cynthia Eriver brings Pinocchio to life in this live-action animation The Blue Fairy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt voices the animated character Jimmy the Cricket. Judging from the trailer, Zemeckis’ new film is highly faithful to the original, but whether he will include Pinocchio smoking a large cigar will not be known until the film is released.

It’s the 1950s, Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan play a jaded police inspector and his over-eager protégée who are assigned to investigate a brutal killing in a London theatre.

And the suspects / potential next victims include David Oyelowo, Ruth Wilson, Reece Shearsmith, Shirley Henderson and Harris Dickinson, who plays a young Richard Attenborough. Everything else about this farcical murder mystery is, well, a mystery, but, as with Knives Outthe less you know beforehand, the more fun it should be.
