Nat Geo has ordered a trio of new projects.

Exclusive: Netflix has enlisted Yon Motskin (Encounters) to direct an untitled documentary feature on Connecticut native Nathan Carman, a young man who, after a fishing trip with his mother Linda off the coast of New England, survives a week on a life raft while she is lost at sea.
As highlighted in the doc, the sensational incident renews interest in the unsolved murder of Carman’s wealthy grandfather years earlier, spurring a media frenzy, a war over a vast family fortune, multiple investigations and ultimately federal charges against Carman for murder on the high seas. He died by suicide last summer while awaiting trial in connection to the death of his mother.
With unprecedented access to family, friends and investigators, the film currently in production is a nautical thriller that explores intimate human mysteries about family, greed, perception, mental health and the unpredictable mind of an enigmatic young man.
Motskin is producing alongside Mary-Jane Mitchell.

The folks at Studiocanal and Rialto Pictures have released a trailer, as well as the release date, for "Cat Person." The movie is based on Kristen Roupenians' 2017 short story of the same name that was published in The New Yorker, and features Emilia Jones from the Best Picture winner "Coda" having the hook-up from hell with Nicholas Braun, aka cousin Greg from "Succession." Bad hook-ups are common in the age of internet dating, sure, but in this case, things go from bad to downright scary.
Susanna Fogel directed the film, with Michelle Ashford ("Masters of Sex") penning the screenplay. The adaptation of the short story is due to hit theaters in October and figures to be a conversation starter as part of the fall moviegoing season. Let's roll the trailer.

The highly-anticipated film “Cat Person” purrs into theaters soon courtesy of Rialto Pictures.
“Cat Person,” which was among IndieWire’s most anticipated films out of Sundance, received distribution later than expected, leaving fans waiting for the big screen adaptation of the viral New Yorker short story of the same name.
“Coda” breakout star Emilia Jones plays college sophomore Margot who meets awkward bachelor Robert (Nicholas Braun) while working at a movie theater concession stand. However, Robert may not be as he seems: For one thing, as a self-described cat owner, there are no furry felines to be found in his apartment. Did Robert lie about having cats to seem non-threatening? Is Robert really a villain, or is Margot paranoid thanks to dating horror stories?
Geraldine Viswanathan and Isabella Rossellini also star in the twisty rom-com meets thriller.

After world premiering to much buzz at Sundance back in January, the darkly comedic dating thriller Cat Person has finally unveiled a first trailer and release date, having been set to open in U.S. theaters via Rialto Pictures beginning October 6th.
An adaptation of Kristen Roupenian’s viral New Yorker short story fully financed by Studiocanal, Cat Person looks at the brief relationship between 20-year-old college sophomore Margot (Coda‘s Emilia Jones) and the somewhat-older Robert (Succession‘s Nicholas Braun) from the perspective of both characters, as a means of commenting on the experience of dating today.
In an appearance alongside her leads at Deadline’s Sundance studio earlier this year, pic’s DGA Award-winning director Susanna Fogel noted that the idea of toggling back and forth between the POVs of her protagonists was compelling, in that it allowed her to explore “miscommunications and the cultural baggage that men and women bring into dating,...

“Cat Person,” which launched with a bang at Sundance, will be released in theaters on Oct. 6 through Rialto Pictures.
The wild thriller — which stars Emilia Jones (“Coda”) and Nicholas Braun (“Succession”) as a couple whose signals cross, leading to disturbing interactions — made its world premiere to a huge response at the festival in January.
Susanna Fogel directed the polarizing film, which is based on Kristen Roupenian’s short story of the same name in The New Yorker that went viral following its publication in 2017, becoming the magazine’s most-read piece of fiction ever.
Michelle Ashford wrote the screenplay. In his review for Variety, Peter Debruge called it “wickedly ambiguous Sundance conversation-starter.” Still, some fans of the short story have expressed outrage that the film includes a third act that is not reflected in the source material.

Exclusive: A story about a Fiji surf paradise gone wrong by David Kushner, the journalist behind A24’s Zola, is to be turned into a documentary.
Kushner has penned Paradise Lost for Vanity Fair and the story is now being adapted by Anchor Entertainment, the production company behind HBO’s Undercurrent: The Disappearance of Kim Wall, and Vanity Fair Studios.
The story follows Navrin, Woody, and Jona – two Aussie surfer bros and their local partner – who thought they’d found their own little slice of paradise in Fiji. That was until the deep-pocketed Chinese developer set up shop next door and started digging up the reef offshore. Then a Silicon Valley-backed scientist who swears he can build the perfect surf break got involved and the whole place became a stopover for the pandemic-era megayacht set.
The doc will be exec produced by Kushner, Ethan Goldman and Dan Baglio for Anchor Entertainment,...

Tinseltown is known to be the city of sin and excess, and Damien Chazelle’s Babylon is aiming to show how it all started with a portrait of the film industry reaching new glamorous heights as talkies become the rage and the “movie star” life brings a nature of instability. Chazelle has already made an ode to old Hollywood musicals with a modern twist with La La Land, and now, he brings us another look at behind-the-scenes carnage in the new trailer from Paramount.
The official synopsis from Paramount reads,
“From Damien Chazelle, Babylon is an original epic set in 1920s Los Angeles led by Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie and Diego Calva, with an ensemble cast including Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li and Jean Smart. A tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess, it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.

Exclusive: Glamour Studios is partnering and producing alongside director Jessica Dimmock and her production company Tough Tina for a new feature documentary, 28 Days, based on an immersive multimedia package launching Thursday on Glamour.com. Dimmock will serve as executive producer along with Agnes Chu, Helen Estabrook and Sarah Amos for Conde Nast Entertainment.
The doc, which is already in development, will follow the experiences of new mothers and families to see the effects of paid leave — and the lack of it — in people’s lives. This documentary will refocus the conversation on paid leave around the deeply engrossing personal stories that show the real life consequences as opposed to the talking-head cable news arguments that have flooded the media landscape.
“The issues surrounding the lack of parental leave in this country are something that I care about deeply,” said Dimmock. “A lack of parental leave will continue to be an obstacle towards equity,...

The official (uncensored) trailer for Paramount Pictures’ Babylon begins with Margot Robbie’s character Nellie Laroy snorting a line and confessing that if she had money, she’d only spend it on things that were fun. “Not boring things like taxes,” she adds.
Next up is the introduction of Brad Pitt’s character who explains that when he came to LA there were signs on all the doors that read: “No actors or dogs allowed.” He claims to have changed that, but doesn’t explain if he’s referring to the two or four-legged subjects. The trailer then spotlights clips of partying mixed with the filming of a medieval battle scene, an elephant walking through a packed club, and Brad Pitt doing a little dance before falling over a balcony.

“I always wanted to be a part of something bigger,” Diego Calva’s Manny Torres tells Margot Robbie’s Nellie Laroy over lines of cocaine, opening the first red-band (i.e. Nsfw) trailer for “Babylon.”
“I Love that answer,” Nellie shouts.
It makes sense, then, that Damien Chazelle’s latest feature film boasts the logline, “Always make a scene.” It’s clear that these characters are ready to make theirs.

Exclusive: Lexi Perkel (John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch) has been cast as the lead in Nicholas Ma’s indie, Mabel.
The 11-year-old actress will star alongside the previously announced Judy Greer (Kidding) and Christine Ko (Dave).
The film scripted by Ma and Joy Goodwin centers on Callie (Perkel), whose only friends are the plants and trees that surround her home.
