Tom Cruise confirms on-set intensity—and explains why it fuels his craft

He attributes the intensity to curiosity and a drive to master his craft, stressing that preparation and understanding tools matter as much as stunts, while maintaining a sense of humor. He also discusses cinema's unique communal experience versus TV, and notes his upcoming leading role in Alejandro G.

Oasis Doc Directors Chronicle a Low-Key Gallagher Reunion for Don’t Look Back in Anger

Directors Will Lovelace and Dylan Southern document Oasis’ long-awaited reunion for Disney+’s Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger, describing a mostly emotion-light, workmanlike process where the Gallaghers rehearse classic songs while the filmmakers observe from a nearby cabin. They roped in multiple international cinematographers to capture both the band and fan moments across the globe, aiming for immersive, cinema-scale footage (including an IMAX release) that puts viewers in the room without turning the reunion into a melodrama.

Ridley Scott Taps a Lifetime Crew to Shape The Dog Stars

Ridley Scott relies on a trusted, decades-long team for The Dog Stars, including editors Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo, production designer Chris Seagers, casting director Kate Rhodes James, and key VFX leads, to tightly choreograph a film that blends romance with darker tones. The crew emphasizes on-set practicality, swift multi-camera work, and artful pacing, aided by needle-drops like Hozier’s Like Real People Do to nail the opening mood, with Hig’s journey and his dog Jasper at the center. This collaborative approach helps keep the project on schedule and within budget as The Dog Stars hits theaters.

Blomkamp Goes AI-Only With Nightborne, Eyes a Full-Length Feature

Neill Blomkamp released Nightborne, a 13-minute sci‑fi horror short created entirely with AI using the Seedance 2.0 model, with Blomkamp directing frame-by-frame via text prompts. The film used the faces and voices of 32 licensed real people, and concept art was crafted by human artists. Blomkamp says he plans to shoot a full-length feature in the same format and has founded Barley Studios to carry this work forward, even as AI in film faces skepticism over data sourcing, potential job losses, and copyright concerns.

Nolan Slams AI as ‘Slop,’ Urges Tangible Storytelling

Director Christopher Nolan criticized AI in a Telegraph interview, saying the younger generation rapidly rejects the tech and praising two YouTube‑founded directors for their ambivalence toward it. He argues filmmakers should favor tactile, real-world storytelling after years of virtual environments, noting Gen Z’s quick judgment of AI and citing his own children. He also references industry moves like Scorsese’s AI storyboard partnership and A24’s Google collaboration as context for the ongoing AI conversation.

A24 Partners With Google DeepMind to Shape AI Tools for Filmmaking

A24 explains its research partnership with Google’s DeepMind as a bid to have a seat at the table in Hollywood’s AI reckoning, granting A24 Labs access to DeepMind’s research and infrastructure while co-developing workflows and tools filmmakers may want. The deal does not give Google access to A24’s content or data, and there is no mandate for filmmakers to use the tools, reflecting a broader industry trend of studios collaborating with AI amid ongoing debates and fan backlash.

Almodóvar Dives Into Autofiction and Creative Pain at Cannes

Deadline’s Cannes review of Bitter Christmas portrays Pedro Almodóvar’s autofiction experiment: a present-day filmmaker blocked by creative drought and a 2004 Madrid storyline that intertwine to question whether turning real lives into fiction is fair, with strong performances and sharp dialogue; while not seen as his Palme d’Or peak, the film offers a revealing glimpse into its director’s psyche.
