Frank Herbert is rolling in his grave wishing he'd thought of this, obviously.

It’s not about budget it’s about risk 👇 no risk no reward.

Space divorce is a bitch. I’m not sure how I feel about such a dramatic change to the character of Chani. This storyline is way off script from Dune Messiah.

Cassian Elwes is a legend in indie film production and financing. Most people have no idea the Herculean effort that that has gone into getting money for indie films. If you ever have the fortune to hear any of @cassianelwes’ accounts of getting financing for this film and others over the past decades, listen to every word.

Esto ya se salió de control. 😂👌

Brotherhood of the Wolf is one of the most overlooked movies that is actually awesome. I'm not just saying this. It's really good.

ok but what about him

Tubi has 10x as many films in its library as Netflix. The quality and quantity gap there is insane, and it's free.

It’s here. The first AI feature film to screen in theatres. The first AI feature film by a female filmmaker. Not a collection of shorts. A feature film. Not a studio. One woman with a laptop. Not a paid PR campaign. An organic social movement. I didn’t just make a film. We made history. Together. Because I never for a second thought this was about me. It’s much much bigger than me. The era of waiting for permission is over. I’m living proof. And that makes some people mad. Because there are no gatekeepers where there are no gates. BOSS (2026). Coming soon to a theatre near you.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the legendary Hollywood producer and executive, says Hollywood needs to accept AI as a tool. “Hollywood needs to accept that AI is not going away. The energy they are spending trying to make it disappear is energy they are not spending deciding the terms on which it will exist. And the terms are everything. The north needs something from it that they cannot build and cannot buy: creativity. The kind that takes a blank page and conjures a single right answer where there was none and has held audiences for a century. Without it, the most powerful reasoning engine ever invented will still be missing the only thing that makes a story worth telling.” variety.com/2026/biz/news/je…

Paramount-Warner Bros. will allocate just $5 million per year to acquire indie films. The $111 billion deal pledges to make at least 30 films a year and will spend at least $1.5 billion in additional domestic film and TV production over five years. What does this mean? The company will operate a modestly funded “Independent Film Fund” to buy movies based on original screenplays or originated from film producers operating outside of Paramount, Disney, Universal or Sony. The wildly optimistic version of this is the company pulls off six micro-budget blockbusters like 'Obsession' (which cost $750,000). But many indie films cost in the tens of millions — particularly if they’re star-driven or effects-heavy. The Zendaya film 'The Drama,' for instance, cost around $28 million. While the budget for the 2024 disaster 'Megalopolis' ballooned to around $120 million. hollywoodreporter.com/movies…

Slow Down & Pace

The thing about TITANIC is that everyone saw it. Your friends saw it. Your friends' moms saw it. Your grandma saw it (mine took her pastor!). People were quoting it. It was parodied. The theme song was everywhere. These mega hits today just don't feel like that.
