Chad McQueen, who followed his father, Steve McQueen, into acting and auto racing and portrayed the bully Dutch in the first two Karate Kid movies, has died. He was 63.
McQueen died Wednesday of organ failure at his ranch in Palm Desert, his friend of 40 years, Arthur Barens, told The Hollywood Reporter. He had been injured in a fall in 2020 and never fully recovered.
In a statement on Instagram, his children Chase and Madison wrote:
“His remarkable journey as a loving father to us, along with his unwavering commitment to our mother, truly exemplified a life filled with love and dedication. His passion for racing not only highlighted his exceptional talent but also served as a way to honor his father’s legacy, a testament to the values instilled in him.
“He passed his passion, knowledge and dedication down to us, and we will continue not only his legacy but our grandfather’s as well.

Just as the much-anticipated 11th season of hit travel competition series “Jet Lag: The Game” takes flight on Nebula, the indie streamer will be implementing its first-ever major price increase on Sept. 1.
Major is of course relative, because the creator-owned streamer, which is currently priced at $5 per month and $50 annually, will be hiking its fee by a whopping $1 to reach $6 per month and $60 annually, in comparison to the cost of Netflix, Max and the similar mega streamers that have also recently undergone a round of price increases.
Nebula also offers one specific deal its those much larger streamers don’t: specialized codes promoted by Nebula creators in their content that give a 40% discount on that new annual membership price down to $36.
And all of these changes only apply to new subscribers, as Nebula says it will continue to honor the current rate for existing customers — and rolled out that info Aug.

The majority of Stephen King's novels (and many of his short stories) have been adapted into films or TV projects over the years, but there a few outliers that have yet to make the leap from page to screen. While it seems inevitable that sooner or later, every King work (with one notable exception) will be adapted, you have to wonder why some books have yet to materialize as movies. In 2016, King was asked by Deadline if there were any books he was surprised hadn't been adapted yet, and he had an answer: "The Regulators." If you came of age in the 1990s, as I did, and were a Stephen King nerd, as I was (and still am), you know all about "The Regulators," because it wasn't a normal Stephen King release. In fact, it technically wasn't even a Stephen King book — it was attributed to King's pseudonym, Richard Bachman.

The David Hemingson-scripted Alexander Payne dramedy The Holdovers and Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction were the big film winners at the strike-delayed 2024 Writers Guild Awards, which were handed out Sunday in Los Angeles and New York.
Jefferson — who also was honored with the WGA West’s Paul Selvin Award — followed his Oscar win for Adapted Screenplay as the WGA’s weird, wild and elongated Awards season wrapped with simultaneous ceremonies on both coasts. Hemingson scored a modicum of revenge for losing the Original Screenplay Academy Award to Justine Triet and Arthur Harari for Anatomy of a Fall.
The latter script, however, wasn’t eligible for a Writers Guild Award. That’s because, unlike other guilds, the WGA deems ineligible any scripts for movies not produced under its Minimum Basic Agreement or a bona fide collective bargaining agreement with various affiliated countries.
Later, the Documentary prize went to Errol Morris...

Animated short “Les Chaussures de Louis (Louis’ Shoes)” took home the 2021 View Award grand prize following the View Conference in Turin, Italy.
The five-minute film was created by Marion Philippe, Kayu Leung, Jean-Geraud Blanc, and Theo Jamin of MoPA in Arles, France, in their last year as students. The film follows a young boy with autism introducing himself to classmates at his new school. Jury members lauded the film for its unique voice. “We don’t look at ‘Louis’ from the outside; we enter his mind as he shares the particular way in which he sees his world.” Jurors called the film “staggeringly humanizing, fresh, innovative and entertaining all the way through.”
Other celebrated films include Jury Award winners “Les Larmes de la Seine (The Seine’s Tears)” and “Yallah,” which each shine a light on events from recent history.

Exclusive: Westbrook Studios and Davis Entertainment have entered development on Summertime, a hip-hop musical based on Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff’s song of the same name, which Peter Saji will write and direct for Sony Pictures’ Screen Gems, in his feature debut.
“Summertime” was the lead single on DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s fourth studio album, Homebase, and won the collaborators a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Since its release back in May of 1991, the song has endured as a beloved summer anthem. Sony Music controls the main recording, with Sony/Atv holding publishing rights outside of the U.S.
For now, Summertime’s plot is being kept under wraps. Smith and Jon Mone will produce for Westbrook Studios, alongside Davis Entertainment’s John Davis, John Fox and Jeremy Stein, and Screen Gems’ Giselle Johnson. Ryan Shimazaki will oversee the project on behalf of Westbrook.

"It's happening again..." Sony Pictures has unveiled the first trailer for Escape Room: Tournament of Champions, the sequel to the horror Escape Room from 2019. And this isn't even the only "escape room" horror either! Tournament of Champions is the new sequel to the box office hit psychological thriller that terrified audiences. In this one, six people unwittingly find themselves locked in another series of escape rooms, slowly uncovering what they have in common to survive... and discovering that they’ve all played the game before. Of course. Starring Taylor Russell, Logan Miller, Thomas Cocquerel, Holland Roden, Indya Moore, Carlito Olivero, and Jay Erving. Uh, this actually looks pretty damn good! This might be better than the first one. I dig the concept of realistic locations turning into game rooms, and there's some cool references in this. Is that lighthouse a nod to Annihilation? Are the lasers a nod to Cube?...

Over the course of four films, Julia Hart and Jordan Horowitz have carved out a unique niche: bending both genre and expectations to craft stories that break the mold of what a “female-centric” story can (and should) look like. From superheroes to high school students, the women that populate the couple’s films — which Hart directs from scripts the couple write together — find drama and emotion in unexpected, and often otherwise untapped places. All of that is by design.
“With all of our movies, it’s something that we think about a lot, making female characters feel like real women, as opposed to a female character that fits into a formula that everybody is comfortable with,” Hart said in a recent interview with IndieWire.
While other films and filmmakers might be hung up on building stories around easily digestible and readily recognizable formulas, Hart and Horowitz relish the chance to...

"He's filming his kills." Gravitas has released an official trailer for GetAWAY, a meta-slasher horror film from filmmaker Blayne Weaver. This first premiered at the deadCENTER Film Festival earlier this year, and arrives on VOD later this month for those interested in watching. Emma Norville stars as young actress Maddie, who lands a small role in the student slasher-flick shooting at a camp on the weekend, unaware it could be her last. A killer's on the loose shooting the grisly murders for his own twisted film. Maddie's the star and the slaughter is Real! Everyone run! Getaway is described as "a terrifyingly twisting meta-slasher film within a film within a film, that'll keep you guessing until the shocking, horrific conclusion." The film also stars Danielle Carrozza, Kyle Mangold, Franchesca Contreras, Joshua Cody, and Jon Rust. This doesn't look that good, but I always do enjoy meta horror mash ups like this.

Antonio Gambale led the winners at Tuesday’s Screen Music Awards, picking up two prizes for his work on Netflix’s Unorthodox.
This year’s ceremony, jointly staged by Apra Amcos and the Australian Guild of Screen Composers, was virtual, hosted by Justine Clarke, Meyne Wyatt and Claudia Karvan.
Clarke used the opportunity to urge government to support the industry, in particular screen composers, in the wake of Covid-19.
“I implore all of you listening, and in particular the Federal Government, not to leave the Australian composers behind as you undertake industry reform.
“There remains a huge opportunity for the Australian Government to further invest in the creation and commissioning of Australian content, and in particular, our composers, to fully celebrate their skills and talent. There is now greater risk that our creatives, our composers, and our small businesses will be left behind in the fast-changing global landscape that is ahead of us.

There is a palpable sense of exhaustion and an air of dread over nearly every scene in Akilla’s Escape. It’s no wonder that despite the legalization of marijuana in Canada, Toronto-based drug dealer Akilla Brown is desperately trying to leave the trade. After all, in the film’s first thirty minutes, Brown has watched as a man is hacked to death before his eyes, was held at gunpoint, and was forced to knock out said gunman with a shocking act of quick-thinking. Meanwhile, his decision to exit the dealer life has drawn consternation from his colleagues. And he still has to break the news to “The Greek”––who, we can infer, is most likely not going to be happy. Oh, and Akilla must also step in to save the adolescent gunman’s life before he is suffocated to death by one of the Greek’s henchmen.

Red Hot Chili Peppers performed a sizzling rendition of the Cars’ “Just What I Needed” during a concert in Singapore Sunday. The cover pays tribute to frontman Ric Ocasek, who died unexpectedly September 15th at the age of 75.
In the video, a shirtless Anthony Kiedis and Flea take the reigns on the iconic New Wave track, with Flea thumping on bass as Kiedis takes his swelling vocals to new heights. “I loved Ric Ocasek,” Flea wrote on his Instagram after the musician’s death. “What an interesting, smart, kind, funny man who made incredible records.

The work of Jim Thompson has had a healthy life on screen, ranging from adaptations in America and beyond, notably in Europe. Ahead of Yorgos Lanthimos tackling one of his most popular novels, we have a new restoration for 1979’s Série noire, which is adapted from Thompson’s 1954 novel A Hell of a Woman by writer Georges Pérec and director Alain Corneau.
Ahead of opening at New York City’s Metrograph this Friday, we’re pleased to debut the exclusive trailer for the restoration courtesy of Rialto Pictures. Starring Patrick Dewaere as Franck Poupart, a down-on-his-luck salesman who gets involved in a robbery scheme that pushed him ever further into despair, perhaps humorously so. Named one of the best French films of all time by Time Out, see the trailer below.

A mass murdering maniac escapes from prison and, armed with a power drill, begins to decimate the nubile high schoolers of a Los Angeles suburb during their slumber party. That’s it. Why mess with perfection and add a convoluted plot?
This is the 80′s remember, when the slasher movie was king and all you needed to make a film was a bunch of nubile girls willing to strip off on camera, some Ok(ish) special effects, and someone to play the killer… No need forany real motivation, no need for any back story, just as long as there’s gore-a-plenty!

The Art Directors Guild and the Costume Designers Guild have become the latest groups to announce their nominees for 2013. They may not be considered as big or as important as the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, or the Writers Guild, but they are still a pretty good prognosticator for who will eventually take home the Oscar in their respective categories.
The Art Directors split their categories up into Period, Fantasy, and Contemporary Films (along with various TV categories), but the main one of importance here is the Period, where we find the more fanciful, eye-catching designs. Here, we find what was mostly expected: American Hustle, The Great Gatsby, Inside Llewyn Davis, Saving Mr. Banks, and 12 Years a Slave. If I had to venture a guess, I’d say that The Great Gatsby has this one in the bag. There were those who didn’t enjoy the film (I actually found...

Director Roger Donaldson has tried his hand at many different genres over the years; sci-fi (Species), disaster movie (Dante’s Peak), remake (The Getaway), comedy (Cadillac Man), historical epic (The Bounty) and ‘80s guilty pleasure (Cocktail) but one genre that he keeps returning to is the conspiracy thriller. His 1987 film No Way Out made Kevin Costner a star and was a tense Pentagon set thriller with killer twists. In 2003 he revisited the genre with the Colin Farrell and Al Pacino starring The Recruit which once again proved he was adept at handling the twists and turns of the genre. For his latest film, Justice starring Nicolas Cage and Guy Pearce released on Blu-ray and DVD this week, he returns for another crack at the conspiracy genre posing the question, what would you do?

In 1984, playwright David Mamet received the Pulitzer Prize for his blistering play Glengarry Glen Ross, about a bunch of real estate salesmen at the end of their rope. In 1992, director James Foley achieved a small miracle: transforming what is essentially a long-talk piece into fluid, exciting cinema with his Mamet-scripted adaptation. The play is brutal… but the film does it better. In this age of corporate downsizing and buck-passing, as the national unemployment rate creeps ever higher, this vicious, profane and brilliantly-acted film is timelier than ever.
The spine is identical from stage to screen: a group of real estate salesmen turn on each other and themselves while scrambling to keep their jobs. Then, during the night, someone breaks into the office and steals the Glengarry leads, brand new sales leads coveted by the lower-tier men: George Aaronow (Alan Arkin) and Shelley “The Machine” Levene (the late, great Jack Lemmon...
