More after the jump including the first 8 minutes of In the Heights and a video game based on... Vertigo?

IndieWire naturally (in a financial sense) Cruella 2 has already been greenlit. Good luck to all involved (in a creative sense) given the plot trajectory of the first movie since they'll need it

Broadway World has a Spotify playlist of gay show tunes from shows like Hedwig, Rent, Fun Home, Falsettos, The Wild Party, and more...

Finally
Warner Bros released the first 8 minutes of In the Heights. Personally trying not to watch it before Friday as we prefer to go in "cold" to movies. But it's difficult. You know how we are about musicals. 

P.S. And here's something really strange as a takeaway. There's going to be a narrative adventure video game based on Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). Here's the commercial for that.

I did not like those first 8 minutes of In the Heights. What is it with all the third wall breaking?

Video game based on "Vertigo" looks fascinating!

I don't remember a car driving off a bridge when I saw VERTIGO. Maybe I didn't see the expanded director's cut, though....

Am I the only one imagining the Carey Mulligan/Zoe Kazan movie to be like the Dunst/Williams movie, Dick?

Is it just my TL or In the Heights is really getting a massive publicity campaign in the US?

It feels so bizarre that major movies are being pumped out when our city is currently in lockdown.
But then last summer, our theatres were open and others weren't so the tides turn.

I didn't even know a Matrix 4 was happening, or that I missed Christina Ricci so much.

June 8, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterHmm.

Isn’t the Weinstein scandal more based on lawsuit than article? How making movie on the reporters will work?
