Last night at the PGA awards Mendes told me 1917 was ACTUALLY shot in one continuous take, if an actor flubbed a line they’d go all the way back and start again from the beginning. They paid Cumberbatch to show up every day and wait in that room at the end. He was there 6 months
Endlessly awed by your passion, creativity, anger, joy, positivity, excitement, engagement and love. You continuously defy every cynical narrative. You’re the best.

Our team of producers is offering to cover the budget for a remake of The Last Jedi in order to save Star Wars. Share this and spread the word to let

Aaaaaaaand WE’RE OFF! Day one of filming on the next Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanks to all the lovely patient people here in Greece for letting us do all this murdering on their peaceful shores.
@trollishdelver
Lucas made a gorgeous 7 hour long movie for children about how entitlement and fear of loss turns good people into fascists, and did it while spearheading nearly every technical sea change in modern filmmaking of the past 30 years.
The idea is super fun and I don’t want to be a party pooper BUT… (also worth reading the whole thing because the photos in this piece are pretty freakin great)
I’ve said it before and I ain’t done saying it, Star Wars fans are the BEST. Thanks for sharing all the kind thoughts today, can’t believe it’s been 3 years. Love you guys.
RIP Peter Mayhew. To create a beloved character with warmth and humor is a testament to any actor’s spirit. To do it under a half ton of yak hair takes a true legend. ❤️❤️
I have that Game Of Thrones disease where whenever two people hug I’m bracing myself for stabbing. If you hug me IRL I’ll be tracking those hands, bucko.
Aaaand here it is! The first teaser trailer for the follow up to Knives Out, GLASS ONION! I promise no spoilers, but if you want to come in totally cold, last chance to keep scrolling…

Leanne has, for the entire past year, been posting something she loves about TLJ every single day. This kind of beautiful creative positivity is what SW fandom is all about. I feel like a spectator at the end of a marathon cheering her across the finish line 🎉

: "We have everything we need." This is the heart of Star Wars. You don't need an army. You don't need to be all powerful. You just need hope & love. That's what Star Wars has always been about. This scene conveys that so beautifully... 💕

Adam Driver reacts to someone asking about & criticizing the crash scenes in ‘FERRARI’ as “pretty harsh, drastic and cheesy.”
“Fuck you, I don’t know?”

subtly features art by Matt Mania, Key Grip. We had many closeups of characters with eyeglasses, so he cleverly sculpted mattes to reshape our lighting equipment into scenery you'd realistically expect to see reflected in the glasses.

Even beyond respect for the folks who worked on it, the credits are the cool down coming out of an ending, they’re part of a movie, and this shit with cutting them off or popping a “you might also like” thing up has got to stop.
Dear streaming platforms,
Please play the credits. They're part of the movies. You should know this. Your company acquires the rights to movies. Don't you like movies?
Sincerely,
People Who Like Movies
I have NO idea what kind of SW will come out of Taika and Krysty’s and Leslye’s brains, if I tried to guess I’d be wrong, and that is the most exciting thing I can imagine.

On social media a few unhealthy people can cast a big shadow on the wall, but over the past 4 years I’ve met lots of real fellow SW fans. We like & dislike stuff but we do it with humor, love & respect. We’re the VAST majority, we’re having fun & doing just fine.
Ok I have seen the light- Into The Spider-Verse is truly next level stuff. I just walked out of the theater & am still buzzing but might be my new favorite super hero movie full stop.
Exactly ONE 35mm print of Knives Out exists, I own it, and this is the first time I’m screening it! LA’ers c’mon down and let’s see enjoy those reel changes together.
We just wrapped production on the next Benoit Blanc mystery and also I finally watched Annette and holy shit it’s amazing. Sending so much love and gratitude to our INCREDIBLE crew and cast and Leos Carax!
KNIVES OUT TRAILER TOMORROW! It’s an original modern day American whodunnit, coming out this Thanksgiving. It has a few actors you might recognize. I am very very excited about it. Watch this space...
#KNIVESOUT
Have mentioned it in a few writing-centric interviews, so I dug up my barely legible moleskin notebook outline for
@KnivesOut
. This is how I always diagram stuff out before I start writing. (Spoilers... I guess?)
We’re still in theaters this weekend! If you haven’t caught
@KnivesOut
yet or if you want another shot of whudunnitness we’ve got you covered. Though I can’t promise it will equal the splendor of my original storyboard vision.
Want to thank all the amazing passionate thoughtful kind creative talented supportive argumentative opinionated respectful open-hearted inspiring AMAZING Star Wars fans for the past year. Getting to hear from & meet so many of you has been the experience of a lifetime. ❤️
Something I love about Agatha Christie is how she never tread water creatively. I think there’s a misperception that her books use the same formula over and over, but fans know the opposite is true.
🥺 Well this sucks. Every single person who worked at the Arclight loved movies, and you felt it. Sending love to every usher, manager and projectionist who rocked that blue shirt and made it such a special place.

There are so many great things to see right now but if you haven’t caught
@uncutgems
GET OUT AND SEE IT, it’s an experience like nothing else and Sandler gives a stone cold iconic performance. It's one of those where years from now you’ll be bragging “I saw it when it came out.”
I love Star Wars almost as much as I love Star Wars fans. Thanks for another year of amazingly lovely and kind encounters, on this weird website and in the real world. You’re all the best.
#MayTheFourthBeWithYou
Well THIS doesn’t suck! Thanks

and congrats to the amazing Daniel Craig and

for the acting noms - our table is going to be a paaaaaaaarty
Realized how many of the gifts in “the 12 days of christmas” are birds. They get so many birds. I bet the person one time years ago said they love birds and now all their friends give them birds. Imagine what their house is like. Lots of birds is what it’s like. Siri send tweet

Gil, I understand that point of view but I completely disagree with it. In fact I think it disrespects the character of Luke by treating him not as a true mythic hero overcoming recurring wounds & flaws, but as a video game character who has achieved a binary, permanent power-up.
My parents went to see the touring production of Cats when I was a kid. I was so excited and really jealous. When they got home I was on my mom’s heels asking how it was, what it was like, tell me everything. She slumped on the sofa, eyes focused mid distance. “Well. Lotta cats.”
This is it.
#KnivesOut
is in theaters EVERYWHERE! Thanks for being patient as I’ve squawked about this movie for the past year, so excited to put this one out there. Take the family and hope you all enjoy!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! In lieu of bygone newspaper ads with santa hats added, I bought an app that probably put a virus on my phone to do this.
#KnivesOut
is still in theaters everywhere for your holiday enjoyment!
Hopkins is a living legend, 100% endorse him happily home in his pjs. Ordering sugarfish, having a nice night in. Maybe gets a text from his manager that he won, smiles & goes back to watching the Ken Burns Hemingway doc. Brings me joy.
Let me make this clear: I will see Phantom of the Opera anytime anywhere. If someone knocked on my door right now I would drop this phone and go see Phantom of the Opera.
We’re live! We’re up! We’ve dropped! We’re flying above your head in a million pieces! You can watch
