  • Sherlock Holmes 3 Scrapped And Teased For Fifteen Years

    Sherlock Holmes 3 Scrapped And Teased For Fifteen Years
    May 20 2026
    Guy Ritchie just said it's amazing Sherlock Holmes 3 still hasn't happened after fifteen years, and honestly the reason why is more complicated than just scheduling. Robert Downey Jr is locked into playing Doctor Doom for multiple Avengers films, Ritchie is juggling four projects including a Young Sherlock prequel series, and Susan Downey admitted they almost made a third film but killed it because the script didn't work. Now they're considering moving Holmes to Gilded Age America, but neither Downey nor Jude Law have said a single word publicly about whether they actually want to do this, and Warner Bros hasn't greenlit anything.

  • James Bond Nina Gold Sparks Wild Search For New 007

    James Bond Nina Gold Sparks Wild Search For New 007
    May 19 2026
    Amazon MGM just confirmed the next James Bond search is officially happening and hired Nina Gold to find him — the casting legend who discovered entire Game of Thrones and Star Wars casts from unknowns. They're looking for a fresh-faced British actor in his late twenties to early thirties, which likely rules out internet favorites like Idris Elba and Henry Cavill, while names like Callum Turner and Jacob Elordi are quietly surfacing. Denis Villeneuve is directing and this is the first Bond film developed entirely under Amazon's control after the Broccoli family stepped back, so we're either getting something revolutionary or watching them turn 007 into a cinematic universe.

  • Paper Tiger Lands At Cannes Shocking James Gray Return

    Paper Tiger Lands At Cannes Shocking James Gray Return
    Apr 22 2026
    James Gray's crime thriller Paper Tiger just got added to Cannes last minute with Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, and the festival director literally compared it to Gray's gritty 90s debut Little Odessa — which is a massive deal if you know his work. Meanwhile, there are only two American directors in the entire Palme d'Or competition this year because US studios have basically stopped making the kind of films Cannes wants, and Neon now has six films competing after winning the last six Palmes in a row. So Gray's showing up with what sounds like a scrappy indie about the American dream falling apart at the exact moment American cinema is barely present at the world's biggest film festival, which honestly could not be more on the nose.
