The most interesting move is Noam Murro‘s 300: Rise of the Empire, originally scheduled for release this August, has been pushed back to March 7, 2014. The film already set for that date, Doug Liman‘s sci-fi film with Tom Cruise, All You Need Is Kill, has now been moved to the summer, specifically June 6, 2014. Read More »

Briefly: The biggest box office battle this summer is on Memorial Day, when The Hangover Part III battles Fast and Furious 6. (With Blue Sky’s Epic bringing up the rear.) Well, the Wolfpack has just fired the first shot across the bow, as it’ll now open on Thursday May 23 instead of May 24. That should give it a slight head start on winning the competitive weekend.

It’s great that folks in Cannes will get a chance to see Inside Llewyn Davis, the new film from Joel and Ethan Coen, later this month. But for the rest of us… how does December sound? Not so great, right? I’ll take a release date inside this calendar year for a new Coen Brothers movie over no date at all, but that December date won’t even put the film in theaters nationwide. It’s an award-qualifying run, which will lead to an expansion starting December 20. More info is below. Read More »

Terrence Malick is notorious for deleting subplots and even entire characters during the editing process, but for a director’s cut of The Tree of Life he’s going to put some of that extra footage back in. Malick’s longtime editor Billy Weber recently revealed that the filmmaker is working on a new edit that’ll include some scenes that wound up on the cutting room floor.
But that’s not the only thing Malick has on his plate right now. In addition to Knight of Cups and another, untitled feature, Malick’s also been putting the finishing touches on his documentary Voyage of Time, and Weber says we could see that film as soon as next year.

Oh, America. We felt so great when it was announced that Edgar Wright‘s latest film, The World’s End, moved up from an October release date to August. That put it in the same month the United Kingdom was getting the film. The shift felt like an unnecessary but welcome victory in the ongoing Transatlantic release date “battle,” as the UK has begun to get some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters a few days, or even weeks early.
Well, that small victory has now been squelched as Wright announced via Twitter the third film in the Cornetto trilogy (starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike) will be released a month earlier still, July 19, in the UK. Its US release date remains August 23. A trailer should be out in the next week or two. Read More »
