]]>Phoenix previously collaborated with Aster on Beau Is Afraid, and they’re gearing up for another collaboration. The Oscar-winner will lead his next film Eddington, and he’ll be joined by the two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone (Poor Things), Oscar nominee Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two), and Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us).
In addition to these four A-list stars, the supporting cast of this project will also include Luke Grimes (Yellowstone), Deirdre O’Connell (Outer Range), Micheal Ward (Top Boy), and Clifton Collins Jr. (Jockey).
Aster previously discussed Eddington in one of his Reddit AMAs and said he’s been plotting a Western-noir dark ensemble comedy for years. He described it as a “revisionist Western” that’s “one foot in the Western and one foot is even more heavily in the noir genre.”
Eddington will mark Aster’s fourth A24 film following horrors Hereditary and Midsommar and tragicomedy Beau Is Afraid. In addition to writing and directing it, he’ll also be credited as a producer with his Square Peg partner Lars Knudsen.

]]>According to its official synopsis, Masters of the Air follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group known as the Bloody Hundredth “as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen, and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air.”
Masters of the Air is based on Donald L. Miller’s book of the same name, and John Orloff was in charge of adapting it to the small screen. He co-created this series alongside John Shiban, while Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman were in charge of producing it, after finding success with the previous war dramas Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
In addition to Butler, Masters of the Air will also star Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, Nate Mann, Raff Law, Barry Keoghan, Josiah Cross, Branden Cook, and Ncuti Gatwa.
The first two episodes will premiere on Apple TV+ on January 26, 2024, with the remaining seven airing weekly.

]]>The Bikeriders is based on Danny Lyon’s photo book of the same name, and it was directed and written for the big screen by Jeff Nichols, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Mud (2012) and Loving (2016). This marks his first film as a director in seven years – and it was certainly worth the wait.
20th Century Studios’s official logline describes The Bikeriders as “a furious drama following the rise of a fictional 1960s Midwestern motorcycle club through the lives of its members.” It’s told from the perspective of Kathy (Jodie Comer), who’s struggling to navigate her husband Benny’s (Austin Butler) untamed nature after he becomes a member of the motorcycle gang the Vandals.
The film’s impressive ensemble cast also includes Tom Hardy, Mike Faist, Norman Reedus, Michael Shannon, Boyd Holbrook, Damon Herriman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen, Karl Glusman, Toby Wallace, and Happy Anderson.
The Bikeriders was met with critical acclaim following its world premiere in Telluride, and it will hit the theatres on December 1.

]]>City on Fire is the first title in a trilogy, with two more sequels coming out in 2023 and 2024, and it could potentially spawn an entire franchise. It chronicles the rivalry between two criminal empires—one Irish, the other Italian—that control all of New England.
Butler’s character Danny Ryan has been described as a crime boss who was forced to grow from a street soldier into a ruthless leader to protect his friends, his family, and his home.
Don Winslow, who wrote the City on Fire trilogy, gave Butler his seal of approval after being amazed by his Oscar-nominated performance in Elvis.
“I’ve had a number of conversations with Austin about this trilogy that I’ve been working on for almost 30 years of my life, and I have been deeply impressed by his commitment to playing Danny Ryan as well as his passion to also produce the three films,” said Winslow in a statement.
Butler will soon star in Dune: Part Two, and he’s also attached to Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders and Apple TV’s miniseries Masters of Air.

]]>Ortega has been acting since she was ten, but she truly became a household name this year. She danced her way into our hearts as Wednesday Addams and established herself as a modern-day final girl with the roles in horrors Scream and X.
Butler is another actor who’s been around for a while, but he entered the Oscar conversation for the first time this year after masterfully portraying Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic.
After several notable supporting roles, Daryl McCormack proved he’s a great leading man in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, in addition to appearing in one of the best new shows of 2022: Bad Sisters.
You might remember Stephanie Hsu from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but she truly established herself as a star to watch with her breakout role in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
From Milly Alcock to Emily Carey, House of the Dragon introduced us to many promising new stars, but Emma D’Arcy is definitely its biggest new name and they even scored a Golden Globe nod for their breakout performance!

]]>Based on Danny Lyon’s 1967 book of the same name, this film chronicles the origin story of a fictional Midwestern motorcycle club during the ’60s. What starts as a gathering place for local outsiders gradually evolves into a more sinister gang, threatening the original group’s unique way of life.
Nichols rose to prominence with movies Take Shelter and Mud, but we haven’t seen him helm a new project since 2016 when he directed the sci-fi film Midnight Special and historical drama Loving. He was attached to A Quiet Place: Day One but exited the project last year to focus on another film he was developing at Paramount Pictures.
The star-studded cast of The Bikeriders has also been keeping busy in recent months. Hardy most recently appeared in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and he’s attached to Gareth Evans’ Havoc and Andrew Dominik’s War Party. Butler is fresh off the success of Elvis and we’ll soon get to see him in Dune: Part 2. As for Comer, she recently received an Emmy nomination for the final season of Killing Eve and she’ll next star in the HBO series Big Swiss.

]]>Luhrmann discussed the upcoming biopic in an interview with Radio Times and revealed that he had to cut down many extra scenes due to time constraints.
“I would have liked to lean into some of the other things more – there’s so much more… There just comes a point where you can’t have everything in, so I just tried to track the spirit of the character,” explained Luhrmann.
Some of the scenes we won’t get to see in the 2:39 version are Elvis’ famous meeting with President Richard Nixon, details of his romance with his first girlfriend Dixie, and the depth of his relationship with his band before Colonel Tom Parker decided to get rid of them.
Elvis stars Austin Butler as the King of Rock’n’Roll, with Tom Hanks, Helen Thomson, Richard Roxburgh, Olivia DeJonge, Luke Bracey, and more joining him in supporting roles. The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and it’s set to hit the theatres on June 24.

]]>Elvis received the longest standing ovation in Cannes so far after premiering at the festival on Wednesday night. It won’t take too long for the rest of the world to see it, since it’s set to premiere in theaters on June 24.
Elvis sees Austin Butler take on the role of the King of Rock’n’Roll and chronicles his journey to stardom and his complicated relationship with manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). The film also stars Luke Bracey, David Wenham, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Gary Clark Jr., Richard Roxburgh, and Helen Thompson.
Following the film’s premiere, Luhrmann praised the cast and crew for their bravery to finish shooting the film during Covid, adding he’s grateful for a chance to share it with an audience in Cannes.
“To see these streets so full of people who love movies of every form of life, every kind of movie, says so much more about what this place means and what it means to be back in the cinema. For that we are eternally grateful, Cannes,” said Luhrmann.

]]>Three weeks after casting Austin Butler as the feature’s headliner, Warner Bros announced that their still-untitled Elvis Presley biopic is set to premiere on October 21, 2021.
Per the studio’s official description, the biopic will “delve into [Elvis and his manager’s] complex dynamic spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and the loss of innocence in America.”
Luhrmann also co-wrote the script with Craig Pearce.
In more scheduling news, Warner Bros pushed the Dune adaptation back one month to December 18, 2020.

]]>Unlike other actors in the running, Butler was relatively unknown before landing this role. He played supporting roles on TV shows Switched at Birth, Ruby & The Rockits and The Carrie Diaries, and caught Luhrmann’s eye with his Broadway debut in The Iceman Cometh.
“Through a journey of extensive screen testing and music and performance workshops, I knew unequivocally that I had found someone who could embody the spirit of one of the world’s most iconic musical figures,” said the Australian director in a statement announcing Butler’s casting.
Baz Luhrmann won’t be the first renowned filmmaker that Butler had a chance to work with. 2019 has been a pretty amazing year for the young actor, who also landed supporting roles in Jim Jarmusch’s horror-comedy The Dead Don’t Die and Quentin Tarantino’s latest film Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.
