The post Here’s How Long It Takes to Watch All the 2025 Best Picture Nominees appeared first on TheWrap.

]]>
The 2025 Oscar nominations are finally here, and this year’s Best Picture nominees form an eclectic group of titles. That’s fitting for a year that offered as many diverse surprises and delights at the theater and on streaming as 2024 did. 2025’s Best Picture nominees are also noteworthy because none of them are shorter than 2 hours long. That means that, regardless of whether you still need to check off all of this year’s nominees or just a few, you’ll have to invest quite a bit of time if you want to watch all of them before the Oscars airs on Sunday, March 2.

To help you prepare for your Oscar viewing needs, here’s exactly how long every Best Picture nominee is this year, listed from shortest to longest.

conclave-ralph-fiennes
“Conclave” (Focus Features)

“Conclave”

“Conclave’s” Best Picture nomination may not have come as a shock to many, but it may be surprising to learn that the Edward Berger-directed papal drama is the shortest of this year’s nominees. The ensemble thriller about the election of a new Pope clocks in at 120 minutes.

“Conclave” is streaming now on Peacock.


"Emilia Pérez" (Netflix)
“Emilia Pérez” (Netflix)

“Emilia Pérez”

“Emilia Pérez,” Netflix’s divisive crime musical about a Mexican cartel leader (Karla Sofía Gascón) who decides to transition, made Oscar history today when Gascón became the first transgender actor to earn an Academy Award nomination. In terms of time investments, “Emilia Pérez” is also one of the shortest Best Pictures nominees, though not by much. The film runs 2 hours and 12 minutes long.

“Emilia Pérez” is streaming now on Netflix.


I'm Still Here TIFF
“I’m Still Here” (Sony Pictures Classics)

“I’m Still Here”

Walter Salles’ “I’m Still Here” has emerged in recent weeks as an awards season heavy-hitter. The drama about the forced disappearance of a woman’s (Best Actress nominee Fernanda Torres) husband during the reign of a military dictatorship in early ’70s Brazil snagged three Oscar nominations this week, including one for Best Picture. Its runtime clocks in at 2 hours and 15 minutes.

“I’m Still Here” is playing in select theaters now and will expand nationwide on Feb. 14.


Anora
“Anora” (Neon)

“Anora”

Writer-director Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning dramedy about a sex worker (Best Actress nominee Mikey Madison) whose marriage to a Russian oligarch’s rich son turns her life upside down isn’t the longest movie on this year’s Best Picture list, but it isn’t the shortest, either. The film runs a solid 2 hours and 19 minutes long, and, to its credit, earns its length.

“Anora” is available to rent now on digital.


Nickel Boys
“Nickel Boys” (Amazon MGM Studios)

“Nickel Boys”

“Nickel Boys,” director RaMell Ross‘ bold adaptation of author Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, is unlike any other Best Picture nominee this year. Told exclusively in a POV style, the film follows a pair of African-American boys (Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson) who end up enduring horrifying abuse at a reform school in 1960s Florida. It boasts a 140-minute runtime, which places it one minute longer than “Anora” and one minute shorter than the next two nominees on this list.

“Nickel Boys” is currently playing in theaters.


A Complete Unknown
“A Complete Unknown” (Searchlight Pictures)

“A Complete Unknown”

Director James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” doesn’t chart the entirety of Bob Dylan’s career, but it still goes out of its way to depict his arrival on the American music scene and fallout from the folk community with as much detail as it can. The film also scored Timothée Chalamet his second Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the singer. The film clocks in at 2 hours and 21 minutes.

“A Complete Unknown” is currently playing in theaters.


The Substance
“The Substance” (Mubi)

“The Substance”

“The Substance” doesn’t hold back. Writer-director Coralie Fargeat’s horror film centers on an aging Hollywood star (Best Actress nominee Demi Moore) whose experiences dealing with society’s unrealistic, cruel beauty standards of women leads her to sign up for a transformative, dangerous black market drug. The film is a maximalist exercise in body horror that runs — like “A Complete Unknown” — 2 hours and 21 minutes long.

“The Substance” is streaming now on Mubi.


“Wicked” (Universal)

“Wicked”

“Wicked” is the blockbuster adaptation of just the first half of the popular (pun intended) Broadway show of the same name. Despite that, it runs nearly as long as the entire musical it’s based on. The film, which scored 10 total Oscar nominations this year, clocks in at a whopping 2 hours and 40 minutes.

“Wicked” is currently playing in theaters.


Dune Part Two
“Dune: Part Two” (Legendary/Warner Bros.)

“Dune: Part II”

“Dune: Part II” is bigger than its 2021 predecessor in just about every way, including its runtime. The Denis Villeneuve-directed sci-fi epic starring Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, and Austin Butler, among others, runs 2 hours and 46 minutes long. That makes it 11 minutes longer than Villeneuve’s first “Dune” film and also the second-longest of this year’s Best Picture nominees.

“Dune: Part II” is streaming now on Max.


“The Brutalist” (A24)

“The Brutalist”

“The Brutalist,” this year’s longest Best Picture nominee, also happens to be the longest movie released in 2024. Director Brady Corbet’s period drama about a Hungarian-Jewish architect (Best Actor nominee Adrien Brody) who emigrates to the United States after surviving the Holocaust is an epic in every sense of the word, and that’s apparent in its substantial 215-minute runtime, which includes the 15-minute intermission that bifurcates the film. Few movies that debuted last year strive to do as much as “The Brutalist,” and no other Best Picture nominee this year asks for as much of your time.

“The Brutalist” is currently playing in theaters.

So, how long does it take to watch them all?

1587 minutes, or about 26 and a half hours.

‘Severance’ Season 2 Episode 2 Ending Explained: What Is Cold Harbor? https://www.thewrap.com/severance-season-2-episode-2-ending-explained/ Fri, 24 Jan 2025 03:00:00 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7687722 "We need Mark S. back to work long enough to complete Cold Harbor," Helena says on the Apple drama

The post ‘Severance’ Season 2 Episode 2 Ending Explained: What Is Cold Harbor? appeared first on TheWrap.

]]>
Note: The following story contains spoilers from “Severance” Season 2 Episode 2.

Despite everything Mark S. (Adam Scott) put Lumon through at the end of “Severance” Season 1, the powers that be desperately need him to get back to work on his current assignment – the Cold Harbor file.

The second episode of Season 2, titled “Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig,” unpacks what the fallout looked like in the outside world after the MDR team activated the overtime contingency. Lumon activated Milchick (Tramell Tillman) to make the rounds and fire Irving (John Turturro) and Dylan (Zach Cherry) but bring Mark back. Mark spent much of the episode trying to convince his sister (and himself) that him screaming “she’s alive!” was in reference to his niece and not Gemma (Dichen Lachman).

Back at Lumon HQ, Helena (Britt Lower) plans to bring in a stringer team to replace Mark’s crew because they’re bent on him finishing the Cold Harbor file — which was about 68% done. Helena says they don’t need to have chemistry with Mark S., they just need to be around so he can focus on work.

But if the company was fine firing Irving and Dylan after the overtime contingency was activated, what’s so important about the Cold Harbor file, and Mark, to get him back to work?

Here’s what we know about the Cold Harbor file and what it could actually be.

Where is Ms. Casey?

Toward the end of Season 1 it was revealed that Outie Mark’s dead wife — whose death precipitated him agreeing to the severance protocol — wasn’t dead at all. In fact, dead wife Gemma was alive and well (to some extent at least) serving as the counselor Ms. Casey on the severed floor at Lumon.

Our last shot of Ms. Casey in the Season 1 finale shows her being let go from her post as wellness counselor and being sent to someplace ominously called the “testing floor.”

What is known about Cold Harbor?

Cold Harbor was the name of the encrypted file Mark S. was working on when all the craziness of Season 1’s finale went down. The Season 2 premiere also gave viewers a glimpse of Ms. Casey surrounded by readings.

What do the Cold Harbor readings on Ms. Casey mean?

There is a lot to parse from the brief image of Ms. Casey and her Cold Harbor readings. To start simply, one seems to be a heart rate monitor and other stats keeping track of her vitals.

At the bottom are five percentage bars lined up much like the sorting boxes that the MDR team place their encrypted data in once it makes them “feel something.” There are a four acronyms featured beneath each of Ms. Casey’s percentage bars as well: WO, DR, FC, and MA. Eagle-eyed fans drew a connection in Season 1 between these acronyms and the Four Tempers Lumon’s cult-like founder Kier Eagan claimed every soul possessed — Woe, Dread, Frolic and Malice. It’s likely these four emotions are close to the ones the MDR team “feels” when refining their data at work.

One of the more mysterious and possibly terrifying bits of the reading is the label ITNO: 25.00. This could be an acronym for Iteration Number 25 meaning this is the 25th attempt at creating/recreating Ms. Casey/Gemma.

What Could Cold Harbor be?

We’re in full-blown theory territory here but one thing seems relatively ironclad. Mark’s work on the Cold Harbor filed is directly tied to whatever is happening on the testing floor. Based on the fact that the Season 2 premiere ended with Mark dropping data into his Cold Harbor file and the percentages increasing both for him and on Ms. Casey’s readings, it’s clear their tie could relate to many assumptions it has to do with reintegration of people — possibly clones.

The file — like most of the others seen on the show — references a place in the real world. Cold Harbor is located in Virginia, near Mechanicsville. It is not clear where Lumon is based — maps and glimpses state the company town Kier is in a state labeled PE, which could be near Virginia. One theory wonders if the file name could correspond to the place Gemma “died” which later prompted Mark to go through the severance process.

Another possible — but long-reaching — connection is the file’s name in relation to a battle in the Civil War. The Battle of Cold Harbor was fought in 1864 and saw the Confederacy earn a decisive win against the Union. In the show’s lore, Kier Eagan founded Lumon in 1865 when he was 24 years old. Throwaway dialogue in Season 1 also mentions he was a military doctor before he founded Lumon. All this lends some ground to the theory that the South might have won the Civil War as questions about the state of the larger world mount.

A fun note that doesn’t say much about what Cold Harbor could be, but does point to the clear importance of it to the show – “Cold Harbor” was the working title for the show while they shot Season 2.

Why does Mark need to be working on Cold Harbor?

Season 1 revealed that Mark S. has a unique aptitude for refining the encrypted data assigned to MDR. Cobel (Patricia Arquette) has obviously taken a shining to him as he’s had one success after another — it’s become an obsession to the point that she’s inserted herself into his outie’s life — and it’s implied that some of the projects he’s worked on helped keep her in Lumon’s good graces.

Toward the end of Episode 2, Helena and Milchick discuss Mark’s plea to the board from the premiere, and it’s revealed that despite choosing to fire Irv and Dylan, they’re going to bring them back because they need Mark working on Cold Harbor.

“We need Mark S. back to work long enough to complete Cold Harbor,” Helena says.

It might just be that they need Mark working on Cold Harbor because he’s particularly talented at refining data, but the fact that the file is directly connected to Gemma/Ms. Casey points to how Mark’s proximity to them both inside Lumon and out might play a larger factor in their plans.

“Severance” airs new episodes Fridays on Apple TV+.

‘Sex Lives of College Girls’ Season 3 Ending Explained: Showrunner Breaks Down Bela’s Big Reveal https://www.thewrap.com/sex-lives-of-college-girls-season-3-ending-explained/ Fri, 24 Jan 2025 02:30:00 +0000 https://www.thewrap.com/?p=7688529 Justin Noble also tells TheWrap about the roommates' highs and lows and teases what's to come in potential Season 4

The post ‘Sex Lives of College Girls’ Season 3 Ending Explained: Showrunner Breaks Down Bela’s Big Reveal appeared first on TheWrap.

]]>
Note: The following story contains spoilers from “The Sex Lives of College Girls” Season 3, Episode 10.

“The Sex Lives of College” wrapped up Season 3 with an unexpected reveal: A coming out story for Amrit Kaur’s Bela.

Despite only dating guys throughout her time at Essex, Bela’s romantic interest is piqued by Hailey (Melinda Belle Adams), the host of the storytelling show she joined in last week’s episode. After kissing Hailey at a party, Bela officially comes out as bisexual to her roommates — a twist showrunner Justin Noble said hasn’t been in the works since Season 1, but one that doesn’t surprise him.

“Bela has always been this character who’s down to try anything, do anything,” Noble told TheWrap, adding that many sheltered teens like herself have “massive discovery journeys” in college. “I wanted Bella to be a counterbalance to the story we did with Leighton (Reneé Rapp) — Leighton came into college knowing exactly who she was. But she was closeted, and that’s what made it tough.”

“Bela is not that person,” he continued. “She’s the form of queer representation where she’s discovering it on her own in real time as we watch.”

Though Kaur only found out about Bela’s coming out story before the Season 3 finale’s table read, Noble recalled that Kaur weighed in on how Bela might come out to her mom, given stigmas in certain South Asian families. Tracing back Bela’s fears of disappointing her parents during her first family weekend at Essex, Noble and Kaur wanted to show that coming out might be scary for Bela.

“Coming out stories are usually not for the person who came out at 14 and had an easy time doing it — it’s always like that kid who lives in an area that’s not super accepting whose parents are saying off-putting things as TV show characters are playing in front of them or on the news, and that it could be a little difficult for them to come out,” Noble said. “Our show and other shows can be a little bit of a road map of watching someone do it, watching someone honor that fear that they might have, that struggle that they might have, but then getting through it and giving a happy ending, because God who wants to see a bad one?”

Below, Noble unpacks the rest of the girls’ Season 3 journeys and teases what’s ahead for a potential Season 4, once he and cocreator Mindy Kaling get the official greenlight from Max.

TheWrap: That twist with Arvind caught fans off guard. Did you consider keeping him around longer?

Justin Noble: Arvind was obviously very uncool in the way he handled that, but in the scheme of life and thinking about relationships and even friendships, and what people go through and have fights and come back from, I think we could end up seeing Arvind again. I think there’s a possibility for it. I believe in the power of forgiveness for people. It’s not usually very common in TV watching.

Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet) also has an interesting arc in the last few episodes. How does the protest shift how she might go about her professional goals?

Kimberly came into school so nervous — so much of Kimberly is weirdly inspired by a little bit of me, because I went to a school like this and I didn’t know anyone there, and I was terrified of that aspect and my parents thought they were out of the right class to be there. Her goal is the ultimate example of rule following, so she can’t have anything wrong, and then we see her make a couple mistakes that give her pause, and people are like, “Chill. You don’t need to put this pressure on yourself.” This protest is an interesting fork in the road for her, because she knows what she thinks is right, but it does not align with the rules she has put upon herself given the person that she wants to be professionally. She, of course, makes the decision to be true to what she believes, but that comes at a cost, so we’ll have to see what that means for her.

There definitely seemed to be a spark with her and the protest organizer. Would he ideally be back in Season 4?

I think he could be.

Whitney’s (Alyah Chanelle Scott) storyline spotlights the pressures of being a student athlete. How did that come about?

This is something that we had decided very early on, because we knew Whitney was going to be the soccer player — it felt like a type of person you meet in college, the student athlete who’s in your room, who has to take on other things that other people don’t. They have to wake up early for practices, they have to get their lifts in. They struggle to keep up on their classes because of all the time. We talked to a bunch of female student athletes and some soccer players, and we just felt deeply for how much they had on their plates, compared to some other people who were like, “Oh, I think I might audition for this comedy group” — they didn’t have the luxury of doing things like that. I was so inspired by Naomi Osaka’s story a couple years ago in tennis, and I wanted Whitney to be like a poster child for pushing back against this.

Whitney is not a doormat character — she pushes for what she wants, and I think she sees injustice. She’s had a particularly — intentionally — rough go of it in soccer, dating back to Coach Dalton, and it was time for her to speak up and demand change, and we see her get it.

Kacey (Gracie Lawrence) also went through her first post-Calvin break up. Why did you decide to end this one pretty quickly and how will it be a learning experience for her?

Kacey was the opportunity to tell a story about confidence, which felt so important for all college students, but particularly young, female college students. From the moment we meet Casey, there’s this front of extreme confidence, and then mom comes to visit, and mom cracks that veneer a little bit, and we see that maybe she’s not as strong as she puts out in front. In the gay rodeo episode, we see that it’s much deeper than we thought — when she’s facetuning the photo of herself and changing everything about her face, it just kills me. Just one little throwaway comment, where they’re asking what exes would say about you, totally sets her off on this journey where she has to know from Calvin what it was about. Calvin basically says, I don’t think I could have stayed a virgin for four years, and then adds this one haunting, lingering comment, saying, “I don’t think any guy could.” And she makes a bad decision, in a true way that felt like what our writers in the room talked about. She got a little too attached too quickly. But the friends are there. The show is always about the love story between these girls, and they build her back up, and she has her biggest confident win of the season.

Taylor (Mia Rodgers) seems to be finding the strength in herself to stay sober, but moving off campus means she’s a bit more isolated. Do you think this was a positive decision for her? 

Totally. A lot of Bela’s advice over the course of the season has been correct, and she’s like, “God, this girl doesn’t quite get it.” And then I love in Episode 9 when Bella’s like, “this is bad — you shouldn’t be doing this,” but Ash is a good person, and she’s a good person for Taylor to have around. I just wanted to set up a nice, happy queer story with the two of them, as opposed to another mistake made in relationships. There’s so many queer women in my life who have lived up to the stereotype of U-Haul lesbians, and we’re just going to show a version of it that’s very positive. They move in together, they have different amounts of makeup, and they’re there for each other.

I’m anticipating that some fans might start shipping Bela and Taylor — do you get any romantic vibes from them?

I have been seeing those comments all season — I desperately wanted to be like, “Do you not realize how deeply inappropriate it would be for Bela to put a move on her?” She’s not only a first-year student who Bela has under her care, she’s in a vulnerable, sober journey space, so I truly don’t see them that way. I think they’re a nice friendship, but because queer audiences, for decades, remain so thirsty for love stories between queer characters, as soon as a show has two queer characters, they end up together, because shows at large don’t have a plethora of bonus queer characters. Our show just has a lot of queer characters, so it’s a little different in that there’s just queer friends. That being said, nothing’s off limits in future seasons. Hopefully Taylor wouldn’t be a first year student, but I think they have a cute friendship that I like — I like how much Taylor needles Bela, and they’re a little different. I love what Ruby Cruz brings to Ash, and I love the dynamic between Taylor and Ash, even though we don’t see a tremendous amount of it this season.

What are some storylines you’d like to dig deeper into in a potential Season 4?

Kimberly has the cliffhanger of this season — she thinks that the school is going to sue her for property damage. I’d love to see how that goes down and if Tig Notaro’s character would play into that if she has to come to her aid. We have multiple new love interests that appear in these two episodes at the end of Season 3, we have the closing of some doors and different extracurriculars and school things, so there’s a lot of momentum heading into a Season 4, and lots of ways we can go. So pending a phone call, Mindy and I and the writers will be at the ready to decide which way to go.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

The post ‘The Night Agent’ Season 2 Ending Explained: Gabriel Basso Teases ‘Mind-Blowing’ Season 3 Opener appeared first on TheWrap.

Note: This article contains spoilers for “The Night Agent” Season 2.

“The Night Agent” Season 2 ended with a realization many refuse to confront: We’re more like our parents than we think.

After abandoning his mission to save the ones he loved, Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) must make amends for the wreckage he left in his path. While attempting to halt a chemical weapons threat to the United States, he released a witness, stole intelligence and ultimately swung a presidential election.

Even though he saved Rose (Luciane Buchanan), Peter is not proud of his choices. The Night Agent turned himself in to his trainer Catherine Weaver (Amanda Warren), but she did not let him off the hook just yet.

Catherine tells Peter that he made the same mistakes his father did to protect the ones he loved, and she gives Peter the same chance he did to atone for them: a new mission as a double agent.

“He’s realizing the amount of hatred he probably had for his father, the amount of bitterness he probably had for their relationship and lost time,” Basso told TheWrap. “The more he learns about this business, I think he realizes the harder it is to make good decisions in that environment, and the decisions my dad was making were the best given his options.”

Showrunner Shawn Ryan said that Peter’s complicated relationship with his deceased father was what drew him to develop Matthew Quirk’s novel for Netflix initially, telling TheWrap that the hit Netflix series wouldnt exist if not for the mystery surrounding his own dad’s death.

“It was very personal to me, because I lost my father very quickly and unexpectedly, and the 10-year anniversary of his death actually will be premiere day, which I found to be a very symbolic thing this year,” Shawn Ryan told TheWrap ahead of the Jan. 23 premiere of Season 2.

“There were things I learned about my father after his passing that were very mysterious to me, nothing as nefarious as Peter’s father being a traitor or anything, but this has always been the core, important part of the show to me,” he added. 

Peter must confront before accepting his next mission that what he had resented about his father may be the thing that makes them alike.

“He’s becoming him, I think sort of freaks [Peter] out,” Basso said. “He doesn’t want to be his father, but maybe that’s not a bad thing.”

“To me, this has always been the core emotional anchor of this show: Is Peter trying to be a better man than his father was?” Ryan said.

Peter accepts the mission, perfectly setting up Season 3. This time he will commit his life to an even more exclusive position than the night agent team. He must determine the exact nature of Monroe’s relationship with Hagan from the inside by gaining their trust and turning over classified information.

Peter and Rose’s relationship is also on the line in the finale. The agent has to make the hard decision to tell Rose that they can not communicate as long as he’s on this new mission. Rose wants security, but Peter craves the rush of the night agent lifestyle. Ultimately, she agrees not to call him or come looking for him, and they tearfully part ways.

Filming has already started for Season 3, and Ryan teased that “it’s just the beginning.” Basso teased to TheWrap that the team wrapped up Episode 1 in Istanbul and will return to New York to shoot the remainder of the series.

“What we were able to get on-camera is just sort of mind-blowing to me,” Basso said of the first episode’s Istanbul sequences. “We were getting stuff that I felt like would have taken months and months and months of prep to plan, and we were doing it accidentally. There were things that happened on camera that weren’t planned, that were just sort of mind-blowing, so I’m psyched about it.”

“The Night Agent” Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

“Star Trek” is a pretty deep franchise at this point, and it’s only getting deeper. This time around, a new movie is being added to the fray – and bringing back a familiar face.

Michelle Yeoh returns as Philippa Georgiou in “Star Trek: Section 31,” which was first announced back in October of last year, and when fans see her again, she’s taking on a new position. But more on that below.

Here’s everything you need to know about the latest “Star Trek” film.

“Star Trek: Section 31” comes out everywhere on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025.

Is it streaming or in theaters?

Can you feel a “Presence?”

The new haunted house thriller from director Steven Soderbergh and writer David Koepp, who last collaborated on 2022’s pandemic-era thriller “KIMI,” stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan (who starred in Soderbergh’s brilliant, short-lived period medical drama “The Knick”) and Callina Liang, with a notably chaotic cameo from Julia Fox as a realtor. It premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival to a rapturous response and is now ready for consumption by the masses.

But how do you watch “Presence” anyway? Read on to find out.

When does “Presence” come out?

“Presence” will be released on Jan. 24.

Is “Presence” streaming or in theaters?

“Presence” is being released theatrically by Neon. That’s a good thing. This is the kind of movie you want to see with a bunch of strangers. You can all partake in the symphony of screams!

Who is in the “Presence” cast?

Sullivan, Liu and Liang are the main players in “Presence,” along with the aforementioned Fox appearance, which is worth the price of admission alone. This is a very small, contained movie with a very small, contained cast.

What is “Presence” about?

“Presence” follows a family who has just moved into a beautiful craftsman house. But almost from the day they put their stuff down, there seems to be an otherworldly spirit present. The family’s teenage daughter (Liang) seems particularly in tune with the presence. But why? What is the ghost trying to tell her? And should she heed its warnings?

What makes “Presence” so unique?

Well, what makes “Presence” interesting is that, yes, it is a haunted house movie and, yes, each of the family members have their own issues and secrets. These things we have seen before, in movies ranging from “Poltergeist” to “Insidious.” But what makes “Presence” unique is the fact that it is told from the ghost’s point-of-view, meaning the camera drifts around the house, spying on the family members and generally making itself known. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before in the genre – or anywhere else, really.

Does Steven Soderbergh have anything else coming out soon?

He does! Soderbergh has the upcoming spy thriller “Black Bag” starring Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Pierce Brosnan and Regé-Jean Page. It comes out on March 14, courtesy of Focus Features. We’ll be back soon to tell you about that one, no doubt. And he’s currently in production on “The Christophers,” a dark comedy written by Ed Solomon and starring Ian McKellen, James Corden and Michaela Coel. We wouldn’t be surprised, given the filmmaker’s speed, to see that before the end of the year as well.
