Now, even as President-elect Joe Biden seems likely to triumph in Georgia, the state is poised to consume headlines about its upcoming elections for weeks to come. IndieWire got on the phone with “All In” directors Garbus and Cortés to get their insight into the latest coda to their movie. You spent so much time with Stacey Abrams and understand her story better than most people. How did her investment in voter turnout across Georgia play out in your estimation?...

We’ll soon know where that sick, hilarious bond finds them in Season 3 when the new batch of episodes premieres on October 17, but in the meantime, the actors are reminiscing about how their relationship came to by in a new interview in The Hollywood Reporter. (Via Insider.) As Culkin explains, the writers concocted the idea based on actual flirting that took place between Culkin and Smith-Cameron on the set of Season 1....

Per Sundance, as producing director, Duncan “will integrate the artistic vision of the festival with its practical, audience-facing elements. She’ll work with the programming team as they curate works for exhibition, and serve as a leader for creating strategic vision and decision-making on both the Sundance Film Festival and year-round public programs.” Further key duties for Duncan include “continuing to build policies and plans to develop and increase the inclusivity of the festival more broadly, and managing year-round engagement among the industry and artist communities....

These are some of the potential highlights of the 49th Telluride Film Festival, which announced its lineup today with the usual blend of awards season hopefuls, festival favorites, and cinephile treats. The Labor Day weekend event returned to form last year after its 2020 cancellation by launching future Oscar winners “The Power of the Dog” and “Belfast,” and that success has injected renewed optimism in the festival’s impact. “This year, there are some real ass-kicking films,” Telluride executive director Julie Huntsinger told IndieWire during a recent interview....

Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection The Robert Pattinson reboot should easily pass $400 million in the U.S./Canada, with $800 million worldwide in sight. (It just passed $600 million.) A strong hold, down only 45 percent, shows above-average word of mouth and perhaps signs of continued expansion of audiences returning to theaters. It also is helped by little competition. Over the last three years, “Captain Marvel,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Zootopia” all opened this month to ultimate domestic grosses of over $300 million....

While Anderson is the heavyweight new addition to the “The Crown” cast (and taking on the role that won Meryl Streep a Best Actress Oscar for “The Iron Lady”), Corrin is the newcomer who is expected to break out with her prominent role as Princess Diana. Up until now, Corrin’s biggest break has been the role of Esme Winikus on the EPIX comic book prequel series “Pennyworth.” Corrin also currently stars opposite Keira Knightley, Jessie Buckley, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the beauty queen drama film “Misbehaviour....

“The Essex Serpent,” a six-episode period fantasy series based on Sarah Perry’s New York Times-bestselling novel of the same name, stars Hiddleston as a small-town priest in Victorian England who teams up with a grieving widow to investigate the existence of a mythical serpent. Claire Danes co-stars as the widow, Cora Seaborne, in the genre-bending period piece that promises to continue Apple’s recent hot streak of buzzy television shows. The show is set to premiere on Apple TV+ next month, but the tech giant has released the first trailer for the limited series today....

If “The Feast” is a bit fancier and less satisfying than comparisons to fast food may suggest, the fact remains that Jones’ meat buffet of a movie only works so well because it doesn’t spare any real sympathy for its supper. This is a tale about Cadi (Annes Elwy), an eerie young woman with wet black hair who’s hired to cater a dinner party for the worst family in Wales, and we know from the moment she arrives at their wannabe “Parasite” house — its cold modernism all the more garish when surrounded by verdant countryside — that the people who live there deserve whatever comeuppance is heading their way....

New “Star Wars” series like “Obi-Wan Kenobi” and “Andor” are continuously being rolled out, but “The Mandalorian” remains the crown jewel in Lucasfilm’s television library. Nearly two years have gone by since the completion of Season 2, but the thunderous applause that the cast received in Hall D23 was a reminder that enthusiasm has not waned in the slightest. Pedro Pascal, Giancarlo Esposito, Amy Sedaris, Katee Sackhoff, Emily Swallow, and Carl Weathers all took the stage to promote the series....

In an ironic twist, similar to production of the film it is discussing, “The Offer” has had a rough road to completion. In 2021, “Top Gun: Maverick” star Miles Teller was brought in to replace Armie Hammer as Albert Ruddy. After that, the series had to pause production after one of the cast tested positive for COVID-19. But, thankfully, the show did go on and now audiences are just a week away from seeing what is on tap with “The Offer....

Now as the show approaches Season 2 — streaming as an HBO Max Original after the first season originally debuted on Comedy Central — it’s still an aspect of their family the Dubeks don’t exactly relish talking about. But with Chase off to college and leaving his music career behind, all of that bottled up anxiety has slowly worked its way into other forms, lingering in all the ways the show knows well how to capitalize on....

If “The Phantom of the Open” lacks the same magic that Farnaby helped sprinkle over the masterful comedies he co-wrote about the world’s sweetest bear, well, what doesn’t? It’s enough that this heartfelt delight makes par on its premise; there’s a birdie here and a bogey there, but director Craig Roberts (“Eternal Beauty”) keeps a firm grip on the film’s whimsical tone from start to finish, the former “Red Oaks” star finding a way to have fun with his shots without risking his straightforward approach to the pin....

Where to Watch ‘The Standups’: Netflix Somehow, Netflix has found a way to keep adding to its comedy section over the past two years. With starts and stops to in-person events, there have still been semi-regular new sets from comedians all over the world. Still, the weekly avalanche of specials that began roughly in late 2016 and continued all the way through most of 2020 has understandably thinned out somewhat....

In real life, when married people say they think about murdering their spouse, most don’t actually mean it. In Tommy Wirkola’s devilishly fun black comedy “The Trip” (Norwegian title: “Onde Dager”), they do. Landing somewhere in a delicious Venn diagram between thriller, horror, and comedy, “The Trip” is a fast-paced joy ride that should make even the squeamish delight in a little bloodbath. Cheeky and inventive in equal measure, with brilliant performances all around, a whipsmart script and sharp pacing make “The Trip” one of the most fun watches of the year....

Putting together the prickly mind behind “Taxi Driver” and “First Reformed” and the scratchy-voiced comedic darling might sound like a surprise, but Haddish insists it’s not such a strange pairing. Firstly, though, she notes something key: she’s a Schrader fan from way back. “I’m a big Paul Schrader fan, I have loved me some Paul Schrader since ‘Cat People,’” Haddish said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “I’ve been following his career and always wanted to work with him....

D’Elia was accused of various examples of sexual misconduct starting in March 2020, right at the beginning of the pandemic. After Snyder decided to remove the actor and replace him with Notaro, the pandemic prevented the entire cast from getting together to reshoot select scenes. As Vulture reports: “Notaro would have to film almost all of her scenes in front of a green screen with no other actors in sight, and Snyder’s team would then edit them into the existing footage…Her footage couldn’t be pasted over D’Elia’s — matching their movements beat for beat would be too complicated, and the actors’ size difference would make Notaro look unnaturally large....

In an incendiary open letter posted this morning by Alison Turkos, a self-professed “sexual assault survivor [who is] fighting for systemic change,” 40 survivors — including a number of former Time’s Up clients and employees — have spoken out against the current state of the foundation, which was originally formed in 2018 in response to the rising visibility of issues regarding sexual harassment in Hollywood and beyond. In the letter, a “collective group of survivors and victims” write that they believe that Time’s Up, which now includes a variety of initiatives and branches aimed at entertainment, tech, advertising, health care, and more, is “failing the survivor community....

John Cameron Mitchell, best known for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” premiered the music video for “New American Dream,” the title track to the director’s upcoming benefit album, on Tuesday. Proceeds from the album will be given to Burritos Not Bombs, Transgender Gender-Variant and Intersex Justice Project and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Trust Fund. The “New American Dream” music video doesn’t lack for imagery that is equal parts trippy and grotesque — a turtle shell-clad McConnell feasting on Trump’s face is one of the more benign images....

“It’s always an interesting question for me and for Barry, ‘What are we trying to say with the music?’ For us, the orchestra became a tool for a certain type of tone. ‘Bessie’ is really the most full realization of that idea within the world of ‘The Underground Railroad,’” Britell said. “That’s the sound of 50 strings together. We recorded it at AIR Studios in London. This was the largest orchestra that Barry and I as collaborators have ever done together....

In the face of this monumental shift in their family, Douglas ultimately pushes for the two of them and their son Albie (Tom Taylor) to follow through on their plans for a grand European holiday, winding through cities in the Netherlands, Italy, and Spain, among other tourist-friendly stops. These overnight stays bounce back and forth between the grating (Douglas always worried about missing a reservation for a spot at a tourist destination) and more illuminating (Douglas always walking just a few steps ahead of everyone as he works to get them on time)....
