The latest data highlights a shifting landscape in movie preferences among audiences: There's increasing fatigue with superhero and franchise films, as well as reboots of old movies. Genres like horror, musicals, teen movies, and VIDEO GAME adaptations are struggling to capture audience interest. Crime films, on the other hand, are garnering significant attention. Notably, more than 40% of Americans are eager to watch more action-packed films. It’s clear that tastes are evolving—how will the industry adapt? #FilmIndustry #MovieTrends #AudiencePreferences YouGov

Timing is everything ⏰ I went to a short film screening last night and in the reception met the composer. She was telling me that she works mostly in factual tv but really wanted to crossover into comedy. So on a whim she messaged a comedy producer she’d been following for a while saying that she would love to work with her on something in the future. Just so happens that producer was pulling together a team for a quick turnaround short at the time she messaged. And the rest as they say is history. What I took from this conversation is: 1. Yes, shoot your shot! You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take so take the shot reach out to people you want to work with. 2. If timing is everything then follow ups are crucial. The chances that you send one DM at the perfect moment is possible but slim. You maximise your chances of being in the right place at the right time when you follow up.

In my latest story for Yahoo Entertainment, I take a look at Anyone But You's surprising box office success, what factors led to the "raunch com's" rise, why Shakespeare (and Austen) are often go-to sources for the genre and if the film will usher in a new era of modern rom-coms.

New Post: Here’s every movie Brad Pitt and George Clooney have worked on together - https://lnkd.in/gCZfZ3Vp - Wolfs, the new action comedy starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, is streaming now, but what other films have the A-list pair appeared in together before?  READ MORE: ‘Wolfs’ review: George Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite as begrudging buddies The film, directed by Jon Watts, who has also helmed the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man trilogy, sees Clooney and Pitt playing two professional fixers who are forced to work together on a job, despite both preferring to work as lone wolves.  Wolfs premiered at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month and saw a limited cinematic release in the US before now landing on Apple TV+, where it is streaming around the world now.  The film also stars Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, Richard Kind and the voice of Frances McDormand, and currently sits on a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 72%. The site’s consensus concludes that the two actors give the film “zip, even when it cycles through cliches of the fixer genre, making for a pleasing and slick throwback”.  Apple have already confirmed that a sequel to Wolfs is in the works, with Watts, Pitt and Clooney all set to return. “I absolutely did not write the movie with a sequel in mind,” Watts said. “But it was very fun to make, so I don’t know, I think you let the audience decide if they want to see more”.  In a three-star review of Wolfs, NME wrote: “Despite its superficially dark material, Wolfs isn’t meant to be difficult or challenging, it’s just an enjoyable time hanging out with some chilled, reassuringly handsome gents as they get to the bottom of their not-a-murder mystery. When they eventually do and all the strands are explained, it’s quite hard to follow how things all connect up but it doesn’t really matter. By that point viewers will have gladly accepted the state of things – sometimes a cosy night in watching an easy film is the best remedy for dealing with the world’s woes, as it is in this case.” Here’s every movie Brad Pitt and George Clooney have worked on together  Wolfs is just the latest big screen collaboration between the two veteran Hollywood leading men.  They most memorably co-starred in Steven Soderbergh’s trilogy of heist movies, Ocean’s Eleven (2001), Ocean’s Twelve (2004) and Ocean’s Thirteen (2007).   Clooney was Danny Ocean, an ex-con who establishes the heist and organises the eclectic team into an elaborate plan. Pitt played Robert ‘Rusty’ Ryan, Danny’s friend and partner in crime in all three films. Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Elliott Gould, Bernie Mac, Casey Affleck and Carl Reiner were among the other members of the heist team.  In addition, Clooney and Pitt both appeared in Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind in 2002, Clooney’s directorial debut.

New Post: ‘Shortcomings’ review: Messy, rock-bottom characters make Randall Park’s comedy - https://lnkd.in/gxsxPdA8 - Shortcomings opens with a movie in a movie. We meet Mrs. Wong (Everything Everywhere All At Once's Stephanie Hsu), a woman in a fancy yellow gown, just as her application for a penthouse apartment gets rejected. Seconds later, her suit-wearing husband (M3GAN's Ronny Chieng) buys the entire building, prompting the two to kiss passionately in the elevator up to their new luxury home. Fireworks erupt, fairy tale music swells, and a title card proclaims that this is "just the beginning..."Cut to an audience of rapturous viewers at the East Bay Asian American Film Festival. Everyone leaps to give a standing ovation except one disdainful man. That man is Ben Tanaka (Justin H. Min), and he will be our misanthropic guide through Randall Park's hilarious feature directorial debut, based on the graphic novel by Adrian Tomine. SEE ALSO: Is going to a movie during the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike crossing the picket line? While everyone around Ben gushes about the film, acknowledging that it's "a little glossy, but it's ours," he can only muster up the weak statement that it was "quite an event." As he later tells his girlfriend and festival organizer Miko (Ally Maki), he couldn't stand the "garish, mainstream" romantic comedy they just sat through, which, yes, bears a pointed resemblance to Crazy Rich Asians. Is it really a win for Asian American representation if this is the movie the community chooses to celebrate?Ben — a struggling filmmaker himself as well as a certified film bro — would much rather Asian characters in movies have flaws, like himself and everyone he knows. It's a bit of a meta ask, as Shortcomings, itself an "event" of Asian American representation, is all too happy to oblige. Its characters are messy, selfish, and often just inches away from hitting rock bottom, and none are more so than Ben. And herein lies one of Shortcomings' most intriguing tensions: Ben is so determined to preach about how much he wants to see flawed characters, but he has absolutely no intention of addressing his own failings.Shortcomings' Ben is a jerk who won't acknowledge his flaws — and you can't look away. Ally Maki and Justin H. Min in "Shortcomings." Credit: Sony Pictures Classics In Shortcomings' opening minutes, Park and Tomine, who wrote the screenplay, hit us with Ben's many, many red flags. For one, he can't even pretend to be interested in the film or in Miko's work at the festival. As his and Miko's banter about representation escalates to an all-out argument, he resorts to belittling her and calling her crazy. Later, we learn that Ben has a type, and that type is "blonde white women." His unwillingness to even discuss this with Miko or understand why it migh
