German actors Elisa Schlott (“Das Boot” TV series), Max Riemelt (“Sleeping Dog”) and Alma Hasun (“Corsage”) are set to star in Italian director Silvio Soldini’s drama “The Tasters,” which reconstructs the untold true story of the women conscripted to be Adolf Hitler’s food tasters.
Shooting is set to start on Friday in Italy’s northern Alto Adige region on the Nazi-era drama, which is being pre-sold at the Cannes Marché du Film by Rome-based Vision Distribution.
Soldini is known for sophisticated comedy “Bread and Tulips,” which launched from Cannes, and relationship dramas “Days and Clouds” and “Come Undone.”
“The Tasters,” which will mark Soldini’s first foray into German-language cinema, is based on the bestselling book “At the Wolf’s Table” by Italian author Rosella Postorino. The story follows a group of women who were recruited by the SS in 1943 to make sure that the food being served to Hitler was not poisoned.

Munich-based sales agency The Playmaker has closed several key distribution deals on heist comedy “Two to One,” starring Sandra Hüller, who was Oscar nominated this year for “Anatomy of a Fall.”
The Playmaker has sold the film to Kmbo in France, A Contracorriente in Spain, Madman in Australia and Rosebud in Greece. The German distributor is X-Verleih. The Playmaker will present “Two to One” to buyers in a private screening at the Cannes Film Market.

In the chaos during the disintegration of the German Democratic Republic, a group of clever East Germans seize the chance to retrieve hidden millions from an underground vault. As they outsmart formidable opponents, the heist takes an unexpected turn when money officially unrecognized in East Germany circulates.
Hüller is joined in the cast by Max Riemelt (“Sense 8”) and Ronald Zehrfeld.

One of the most iconic movies to come out in what many critics have hailed as the best year for movies in modern times, 1999’s “The Matrix” was not just an unexpected box office hit, but an awards favorite as well. The science-fiction classic won all four of the Academy Awards for which it was nominated: Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Editing, Best Visual Effects. Its four total awards at the 2000 ceremony placed “The Matrix” just one behind the night’s biggest winner, Best Picture champ “American Beauty.”
Times have changed in the 22 years since “The Matrix” arrived: the film’s groundbreaking effects almost seem quaint when compared to some recent winners and nominees in the Best Visual Effects category — to say nothing of the fact that dial-up internet was a key reference point for its vision of a digital world. But now, 18 years after the original film...

Warner Bros. Pictures has released a first teaser poster along with the website for The Matrix Resurrections, prior to the first big trailer release this Thursday. In the original movie, Neo (Keanu Reeves) was told by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne): “You take the blue pill…the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill…you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” Neo chooses the red pill and joins the rebellion.

Back when most blockbuster movie franchises became standalone trilogies and not cinematic universes, The Matrix Revolutions seemed like a definitive end to Neo’s story. He’d struck a deal to save Zion from the Machines and deleted Hugo Weaving’s infinite Smiths once and for all. But what had it cost him? His sight, his life, and losing the woman he loved. It was a bittersweet end to The Wachowski’s magnum opus, but a conclusion nonetheless.
Until now. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will reprise their respective roles as Neo and Trinity for The Matrix Resurrections, which is directed by Lana Wachowski, who wrote the script with novelists David Mitchell and Aleksandar Hemon. The unlikely sequel is billed as a revival, not a reboot, and will also bring back Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe, Lambert Wilson as The Merovingian, and Daniel Bernhardt as Agent Johnson.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is one of the fresh faces joining “The Matrix” in Lana Wachowski’s upcoming fourth entry, and he told The Hollywood Reporter he was starstruck on set when Keanu Reeves arrived for their first scene together. Reeves is reprising his iconic role of Neo in “The Matrix 4,” while original star Carrie-Anne Moss is also back as Trinity. Both characters appeared to die at the end of “The Matrix Revolutions,” so their resurrections for “The Matrix 4″ will most likely drive the plot. No specifics on the storyline have been revealed, nor Emmy winner Abdul-Mateen II’s role in the motion picture.
“I remember Keanu and his first line,” the actor told THR. “I looked up, and there was Keanu, and I said, ‘Oh shit, I’m really in “The Matrix,”‘ It was just Keanu in that voice. And the technology that Lana incorporated and the filmmaking, camera...

Theresa Palmer and Max Riemelt in Berlin Syndrome - a passionate holiday romance takes an unexpected and sinister turn when an Australian photographer wakes one morning in a Berlin apartment and is unable to leave. Photo: Sarah Enticknap The gender imbalance in the film industry is a global phenomenon, so periodically we like to shine our spotlight specifically on female directors. This week, we're turning our attention to Australia, where according to the latest statistics, of 'active fiction feature filmmakers' between 2013 and 2018, just 17 per cent had a female director, although they fared slightly better in documentaries, where they represented 38 per cent of the total figure. Indigenous representation was also poor, with just 14 fiction features between 2000 and 2019 having indigenous directors - and though the gender breakdown of that is not, so far as I can tell, available, it is likely that women indigenous directors fare worst of all in terms of numbers.

Lana Wachowski isn’t relying on second units when it comes to filming the action sequences in “The Matrix 4.” It’s become increasingly common for major Hollywood productions to use second units to assist with the filming of large scale action scenes. According to “John Wick” directors and former “Matrix” stunt workers Chad Stahelski and David Leitch, Lana Wachowski is handling all “Matrix 4” action scenes herself through her principal camera unit.
“What makes [Lana] so great is she directs her own action,” Stahelski told Collider. “We’ve had second unit directors on some of the [‘Matrix’ films] just because of the logistics involved. But of late, and especially on ‘Matrix 4,’ she’s directing her own action. The second units for them are mostly establishing shots, the B-sides of the some of the compositions for some locations.

Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and writer-director Lana Wachowski have officially returned to “The Matrix,” 17 years after saying goodbye to the franchise in the polarizing last entry of the original trilogy “The Matrix Revolutions.” The San Francisco Examiner spotted the Warner Bros. production kicking off filming in the Chinatown section of the Bay Area with stars Reeves and Moss. The actors are returning to their iconic roles of Neo and Trinity, but “Matrix” fans would hardly know that from the first batch of set photos and video from the Examiner. Reeves’ Neo is not looking anything like the cyber-warrior fans adore (the character’s trademark black sunglasses and clothing are missing). Instead, Neo just looks like Reeves stepped out to grab a coffee. Most “Matrix” fans probably wouldn’t expect to see Neo sporting a beanie and blue jeans. What does that mean for “Matrix 4”? Warner Bros. has yet to reveal...

Warner Bros.’ official announcement about the next “Matrix” sequel (the film is untitled but will be the fourth feature in the franchise) included confirmation that series stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss would be returning to their iconic roles. A “Matrix” film would be nothing without the involvement of Neo and Trinity in some capacity. The same could be said for Agent Smith, the original trilogy’s villain, famously played by Hugo Weaving. Agent Smith is one of the most pivotal characters in “The Matrix” franchise, so it seemed reasonable for fans to expect the character to pop up in the upcoming fourth movie. Unfortunately, Weaving will not be involved in the project. The actor confirmed to Time Out London that he’s sitting “Matrix 4” out because of scheduling conflicts with his theater performance of “The Visit.”

“Sense8” fans fought hard for a proper ending when Netflix cancelled the series after its second-season cliffhanger. The streaming service didn’t give the show a whole new season to continue its story, but they did greenlight a farewell movie to wrap things up. Titled “Amor Vincit Omnia” (which translates to “Love Conquers All”), it aired last June, and now it’s in the race for Emmys, where it could earn up to 24 nominations. Scroll down for its complete list of Emmy submissions.
“Pose” could make history in drama categories with its unprecedented representation of transgender talent in front of and behind the camera, and “Sense8” could do the same in long form categories. Jamie Clayton has been singled out among her group of psychically linked heroes for consideration as a lead actress, while series co-creator Lana Wachowski was put forward for writing and directing — both women are trans.

The made-for-tv movie was a programming staple for the broadcast networks in the 1970s and 1980s. While it fell out of favor in the 1990s and was even dropped as an Emmy Awards category for three years beginning in 2011, it has been on an upswing as of late. This year, 21 telefilms are in contention for the five nominations that will be revealed on July 12.
All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 24 to cast their 2019 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for their favorite TV movies. In the past, voters were limited in the number of telefilms that they could put forth. In 2017 that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted. And, as opposed to the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.

Hollywood will be hard-pressed to come up with a more horrifying film this year than writer-director Robert Schwentke’s “The Captain.” Schwentke is perhaps best known to American audiences as the filmmaker behind such hit-and-miss shoot-’em-up movies as “Red,” “R.I.P.D.,” and “Insurgent,” which makes this return to his native Germany a rather surprising departure.
Shot in black and white and set in the final days of World War II, “The Captain” is every bit as violent as those movies, and twice as tense, but it’s a different beast entirely: a period piece — one with a chilling contemporary relevance — about Willi Herold, a kid just 19 years old, who found a Nazi officer’s uniform, assumed the role, and self-righteously went on to murder an estimated 170 of his countrymen. Herold was a real person, and the film assumes a passing respect for history, but it’s hardly the kind of penitent,...

Upon hearing the news that my beloved “Sense8” was cancelled by Netflix after last season, I was left reeling, along with the rest of the shows die-hard fan base. We kept thinking there is no way that they can just leave things how they were, especially when the show had just reached a pivotal story arc and all of our senseates in the cluster were finally at long last together.
Due to the extreme dedication of fans, it was announced that Netflix and director/creator Lana Wachowski had reached an agreement to air a much deserved series finale to both appease fans and assist with tying up the show’s many loose ends. Let’s just say it did not disappoint! Wachowski delivered a true gift to fans and in my opinion one of the best series finales I have seen in recent years.

After two full seasons and now a feature-length series finale, one fact about “Sense8” remains unchallenged: The Netflix drama has always felt like a bit of a miracle, as far as shows about psychically connected strangers being hunted by an evil corporation are concerned.
As easy as it might be to boil the premise down to its most essential points, this is a show has always contained multitudes of weirdness, as the eight central characters of the series pursue their own life goals while also contending with the life-threatening stakes on the rise. Because the writers have made use of Netflix’s flexible runtimes to craft extended sequences that simply focus on character over narrative, “Sense8” has emerged as the sort of show which could probably exist nowhere else but Netflix, genre-bending in the best way possible.

Netflix has released the first trailer for the big highly anticipated finale for The Wachowskis and J. Michael Straczynski's Sense8. After Netflix canceled the series, fan outcry caused them to reevaluate their decision and they ended up letting the creative team develop a two-hour finale, which was pretty cool. Now we have our first look at what we can expect from that finale.
Sense8 centers on eight unrelated people known as "sensates", who are drawn together by a psychic bond. Those characters consist of Capheus (Toby Onwumere), Kala (Tina Desai), Lito (Miguel Angel Silvestre), Nomi (Jamie Clayton), Riley (Tuppence Middleton) , Sun (Donna Bae), Will (Brian J. Smith) and Wolfgang (Max Riemelt). Together they will embark on one last mission to save the 8th. Here's the synopsis:

But fans aren’t quite ready to let it go. “You guys are legends,” tweeted Angela Gabriela. “Please let there be another season,” added Daisy. Do you think this special concluding “Sense8” movie will give you closure, or make you miss it even more? Watch the trailer above.
Season two ended on a cliffhanger in the spring of 2017. One of the eight telepathically linked sensates, Wolfgang (Max Riemelt), was discovered and kidnapped by Whispers (Terrence Mann), who works for an organization working to neutralize all sensates. But the other seven members in Wolfgang’s psychic friends network all convened in London to rescue him and defeat the evil organization.

Fans of “Sense8” are getting something that rarely comes to canceled television shows: closure. Netflix recently announced that they’ll be releasing a two-hour series finale special for the sci-fi drama on June 8 and if this new trailer is any indication, it will be everything fans hoped for.
“Sense8,” which follows a “cluster” of eight psychically-linked individuals around the world, was canceled last year after a two-season run. Though a fan petition quickly circulated to bring the show back in its entirety, the upcoming two-hour finale special will serve as the only consolation and closure for the beloved series. It was originally slated to run for five seasons.
Series co-creator Lana Wachowski thanked fans on Twitter after the initial announcement last June, citing their “love” as the main reason for the series’ brief return. “Here is a gift from the fans of this show that I will carry forever in my heart…...
