Tony Gilroy's return to film sees Pedro Pascal deliver a triumphant performance as a renowned cellist.
Aaron Sorkin's 'The Social Reckoning' failed to make the top five at the box office, falling short of Jessica Chastain horror pic 'Other Mommy.'
This week there were plenty of twists, with The Batman Part II hitting a production pause as a new Transformers movie takes shape. Add Sicario 3 back with its original stars and a VR horror series set in the Talk to Me universe, and there’s no shortage of major updates to catch up on.
Fjord, and Cristian Mungiu, for that matter, don’t have answers. They merely ask the questions, forcing us to ascertain an answer for ourselves. And in 2026, a movie that tasks the audience with such a duty can be divisive.
As part of the TIFF Market Screening, Infinitely Dense follows a man who employs an augmented reality system to escape his lonely life, only to confront the dark consequences of bending reality to his will.

Now, The Social Reckoning is about to hit theaters, and it’s impossible to discuss it without comparing it to that collaboration between him and David Fincher.
Digger is a movie about contradictions. It is sincere and ridiculous. It is earnest and cynical. It is about how art can heal us and distract us. It’s about how individuals are powerless and complicit. It’s about how villains are guilty and convenient. It is about perception and reality.
Colleen Hoover’s thriller novel 'Verity' gets adapted for the screen with equal parts dark mystery and potentially unintentional campy humor.
Georgia Oakley brings Jane Austen’s classic book to new life in 'Sense and Sensibility.'
This year's fall film releases are already proving incredibly unpredictable at the box office. This weekend brought two major releases: Alejandro González Iñárritu’s much-anticipated Digger and the new Colleen Hoover adaptation Verity. Many expected Digger to guarantee the top spot at the box office, given the director's reputation and Tom Cruise at the center. However, the tables have turned, and Verity started at number one at the box office this weekend.
Anne Hathaway, queen of our hearts and movie star for the ages, has had a banger 2026. She starred in (and promoted) five movies: Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, and Verity. Let’s rank the performances!
Paramount Pictures just released a new trailer for Ti West’s Ebenezer, starring Johnny Depp as Scrooge. The film marks Depp’s comeback to the big screen after a highly publicized 2022 legal battle, making this adaptation even more intriguing. The trailer evidently suggests West is bringing horror sensibilities to the familiar Christmas tale, but with a darker and psychological twist never seen before.
The trailer rollout continues at full speed, teasing and leaving us wanting more. Six major previews landed this week, including festival debut premieres like Elsinore, Rose, La bola negra, and Clarissa. And because the small screen wanted in on the action, two series trailers, Ted: The Animated Series and Dexter: Resurrection Season 2, also made the cut.
Hollywood continues to roll. Some of the week’s announcements could have a much bigger impact on the movie calendar than they initially suggest. Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in Zach Cregger’s thrilling sci-fi film; the cast of Miami Vice ‘85 continues to take shape; Curry Barker’s next comedy-horror has landed a release date; first reactions to new films, and new projects in the works are all part of this week’s major updates.
The Pakistani film industry is one of the world's most resilient, producing excellent stories and phenomenal performances despite the country’s lack of resources and infrastructure. This week, Variety announced the region’s selection of the documentary Hanging by a Wire as a submission for the international feature film category at the 99th Academy Awards.
