Directed by Kogonada and penned by The Menu writer Seth Reiss, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has been described as “an imaginative tale of two strangers and the unbelievable journey that connects them.” Plot details are being kept under wraps, but we know that the production will kick off in California this spring.

Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas, and Ryan Friedkin are producing the film for Imperative Entertainment, alongside Reiss and Youree Henley. Kogonada is coming on board as executive producer, along with Ilene Feldman and Original Films’ Ori Eisen.

A Big Bold Beautiful Journey marks Robbie’s first major film role after the global success of Barbie, which is currently in the running for eight Academy Awards, including best picture. As for Farrell, this marks his second collaboration with Kogonada following After Yang, and he’s currently attached to the Apple TV+ series Sugar and Max’s Batman spin-off The Penguin.

Many experts predicted that Robbie would get an Oscar nod for Barbie, but ended up losing the nomination to Nyad’s Annette Benning, Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone, Anatomy of a Fall’s Sandra Hüller, Maestro’s Carey Mulligan, and Poor Things’ Emma Stone.

This shocking snub inspired thousands of angry tweets and hot takes, but the person least bothered by it seems to be Robbie herself. She addressed it during a special SAG screening of Barbie and said “there’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed.”

“We set out to do something that would shift culture, affect culture, just make some sort of impact. And it’s already done that, and some, way more than we ever dreamed it would. And that is truly the biggest reward that could come out of all of this,” she explained.

Despite missing out on the best actress nod, Robbie is in the running for the best picture award as the film’s producer, alongside David Heyman, Tom Ackerley, and Robbie Brenner.

Barbie managed to overtake The Super Mario Bros. Movie as the highest-grossing film of the year after less than two months in the theaters. It originally premiered on July 21 and set several opening records upon its release after scoring the largest domestic opening ever for a film by a female director.

It also had the most impressive opening numbers for a film that was not a sequel, remake, or superhero property. It went on to become Warner Bros’ fastest film to reach $1 billion and later became the studio’s highest-grossing film of all time, beating Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.

Barbie sees the titular heroine, played by the Oscar-nominated actress Margot Robbie, embarking on a journey of self-discovery in the real world. The film’s star-studded cast also includes Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Will Ferrell, and Helen Mirren as the film’s narrator.

The one-minute-long teaser evokes Stanley Kubrick’s classic 2001: A Space Odyssey from the first frame to the last and opens with a voice-over from Helen Mirren herself, saying, “Since the beginning of time, since the first little girl ever existed, there have been dolls. But the dolls were always and forever baby dolls. Until …”

Following these ominous words, the camera pans to a giant Barbie, replacing the monolith from Kubrick’s early-man sequence. The girls who were shown playing with baby dolls in earlier scenes, smash them in slow motion after being wowed by Barbie, who winks at the camera at the end of the trailer.

We then get to see several scenes from the movie itself that don’t reveal much of the movie’s plot but give us a look at Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, and Simu Liu in character. The supporting cast also includes Ncuti Gatwa, America Ferrera, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Kate McKinnon, Will Ferrell, Michael Cera, and Hari Nef, among others.

Barbie will be released on July 21, 2023 by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Babylon has been described as “a tale of outsized ambition and outrageous excess”, and “it traces the rise and fall of multiple characters during an era of unbridled decadence and depravity in early Hollywood.”

It’s Chazelle’s first film since the Neil Armstrong biopic First Man starring Ryan Gosling. He wanted to do something “boisterous and loud” after this project, and Babylon proved to be a perfect fit, especially since he’s been putting it off for quite some time due to its massive scale.

With Babylon, Chazelle set out to tell an epic tale set in the early days of Hollywood, focusing on a mixture of historical and fictional characters. Pitt will play mega-star Jack Conrad, Robbie will appear as party-loving, aspiring actress Nellie LaRoy, while newcomer Diego Calva will portray a young Mexican-American actor pursuing a career in Hollywood.

Babylon will also star Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, Jean Smart, P.J. Byrne, Lukas Haas, Tobey Maguire, Max Minghella, Katherine Waterston, Samara Weaving, and Olivia Wilde. It will have a limited release on December 25, before opening wide on January 6, 2023.

Amsterdam centers on “three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history” and its official logline describes it as “a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction.”

The first trailer reveals that the characters in question are played by Bale, Robbie, and Washington and that they met during their army days. They made a pact to protect each other no matter what, but their alliance will soon be tested when they’re accused of murder in the Dutch capital.

The trailer also introduces us to some of the film’s other A-list stars. The cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Taylor Swift, Zoe Saldaña, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro.

Amsterdam is David O. Russell’s first directorial effort since 2015. It will be released by 20th Century Fox on November 4, but it’s unclear if it will hit the film festival circuit before its theatrical premiere date.

According to Deadline, Gosling initially turned down the role due to his busy schedule, but he changed his tune after pre-production dragged out. Warner Bros. insisted that he’s their only choice for the role, and the Oscar-nominated actor agreed to sign on after his schedule cleared up.

Barbie has been in development since 2018 when Margot Robbie was first attached to the project as a potential lead. After closing the deal with the Suicide Squad star, Mattel started looking for a potential director and found a perfect partner in crime in Greta Gerwig. She’s also set to write a script for this project alongside Noah Baumbach.

We haven’t seen Gosling take on any lead roles since he portrayed Neil Armstrong in Damien Chazelle’s biopic First Man back in 2018. He’s set to make a comeback in the action thriller The Gray Man by the Russo brothers, in addition to being attached to the remake of horror classic Wolfman and crime drama The Actor.

Plot details for the unnamed film have been kept secret, but we do know that Russell will be directing from his own script.

This will be the first film Russell will direct since 2015’s Joy. The executive producer of Joy and American Hustle, Matthew Budman, will be producing Russell’s film.

Margot Robbie is coming off a big year as she played Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and starred in Bombshell. Not only did Robbie receive amazing reviews for her role as Kayla Pospisil in Bombshell, but she also went on to receive her second Oscar nomination for the part.

Currently, Robbie can be seen in theatres in Bird of Prey, in which she reprised her role as Harley Quinn. Also, she just finished production for The Suicide Squad.

DC Comics finally dropped the long-awaited trailer Tuesday.

The female-led comic film adaptation sees Robbie transform into her comic alter ego and band together a group of women anti-heroines all of who are charged with protecting Cassandra Cain, played by Ella Jay Basco, from Black Mask, played by Ewan McGregor. They are — Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez).

“The Joker and I broke up,” she explains, “I wanted a fresh start. But it turns out I wasn’t the only dame in Gotham looking for emancipation.”

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) hits theaters February 7, 2020.

Gerwig and Baumbach will be in charge of co-writing the script for this exciting project. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind the critically acclaimed comedy Lady Bird is also in talks to direct the movie.

According to the official logline, this film will follow the adventures of the iconic doll, after she’s kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough. She learns valuable lessons in the outside world and goes back to save Barbieland after realizing that beauty comes from within.

Margot Robbie is currently the only actress attached to the project. Robbie Brenner, the executive producer of Mattel Films, said it’s extremely important to them to make this movie as diverse as possible.

“For us, the Barbie movie should definitely have a message of female empowerment, and that you can dream and be anything you want. I do think it’s important to push the boundaries and push the limits. And I think people are really ready to see something different,” said Brenner during Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference.
