This is really exciting! I was just wondering the other day what Stillman had been up to, since it seems The Splendid Affinities fell through. Hope this gets picked up.

It'll probably be better than their last collab, at least

I’m not sure there’s ever been a movie I want to see less than that

Not so much related to Zeitlin as Buckley, but I'm bummed that neither of you, nor anyone else on the forum I follow on Letterboxd save one user, saw The Bride!, which would otherwise surely have become this year's Collateral Beauty/Book of Henry/The Snowman/Serenity/whatever. Even though I've hated everything I've seen her in, I didn't really have a strong opinion on Buckley as an actress before seeing it, but she gives one of the worst performances I have ever seen in that movie.

I’m proud to either be that “save one” or in their company. The movie may be a good deal misconceived, and a solid percentage of that Jessie Buckley performance may be a total disaster, but I look back on both of them with only positivity. I wasn’t expecting it to have my favorite Christian Bale performance in a long time. And I sure wasn’t expecting the one-two punch of final line and final needledrop.

You are indeed that “save one.” And I won’t pretend I
didn’t have a blast seeing the movie. Better that any day of the week over something more “competently” conceived that really shouldn’t exist (cf.
Michael)

On the topic of Buckley, she will also star alongside Saoirse Ronan in
Alice Rohrwacher's next film "Three Incestous Sisters", which recently began principal photography
I've admired Buckley since
I'm Thinking of Ending Things but I'm not keen on her career trajectory at this point.

I quite liked The Bride and Buckley and Bale are spectacular in it

International sales on Tian Zhuangzhuang's
Song of the Birds are being
launched at Cannes. This actually wrapped at the beginning of 2020 but was delayed first by Covid and then by censorship issues. It's a story of sent-down youth during the Cultural Revolution, adapted from Ah Cheng's novella
The King of Trees (part of an informal trilogy with
King of Chess and
King of the Children, both of which have been previously adapted).

I mean, people kept wondering why she didn't star in movies that reflect her stated tastes, so seems like she now is?

Oh, I know that about her - I'm more surprised by Carax's interest in her than the other way around!

Carax has ling wanted his films to make money/ secure funding and that seems reason enough to hire her.

I only know her from the Adams Family posters, but she seems to be a suitably misanthropic and somewhat curiously attractive in appearance like Carax's male leads (I don't know how to say that more kindly, though I mean no offense. I assume it's also what Tim Burton was chasing in casting her). I'm more worried that Carax get back in his zone, I found Annette to be insufferable, though I know it has it's fans.

New details came out about the plot from Nexus Point News.
Sources tell Nexus Point News that Scapegoat will be centered on a surgeon, played by Johansson. Johannson’s character is tasked to operate on a Jake Paul-inspired character who dies during the surgery. The film will follow the fallout of his death and the scrutiny the surgeon will face primarily by the film’s main antagonists, the character’s wife and brother. The wife will be inspired by Erika Kirk, and the brother will be inspired by Logan Paul.
Does everyone here knows how trustworthy Nexus are?

I was going to Nelson Muntz "ha ha" this until I saw the reason they dropped it: "The move notably comes after Amazon struck a massive partnership with the tech company in February to expand OpenAI’s use of Amazon Web Services and develop custom AI models, which included a $50 billion investment on Amazon’s part."

Stephen Chow is in post production on Kung Fu Soccer which he has only directed. Focuses on the women's team this time as the film's original title Shaolin Women's Soccer made clearer.
