The story follows two unpopular girls, both in their senior year, who launch a fight club in school in order to impress cheerleaders in the hopes of hooking up with them. Written and directed by Emma Seligman, who gave us the Jewish funeral comedy Shiva Baby in 2020, Bottoms teams Seligman up again with that film’s star, Rachel Sennott, in a film that’s also got the imprimatur of Elizabeth Banks as one of its producers. Teen sex comedies are a perennial favorite-not just at festivals, but with moviegoers in general- and Bottoms seems poised to put a new slant on a timeworn but still often funny cinematic trope.

Immigration system,” also features Isabella Rossellini ( Blue Velvet) and RZA ( The Man with the Iron Fists) in its eclectic cast (Emma Stone is a producer on it, although she’s not billed in the cast). That art world oddball is played by Tilda Swinton, adding to her ever-growing collection of offbeat performances (her most recent was an astonishing dual turn as both a mother and daughter in Joanna Hogg’s The Eternal Daughter), and the movie, billed as a “surreal adventure through the equally treacherous worlds of New York City and the U.S. But he runs up against the immigration system when his work visa expires, forcing him to take a job with an eccentric outcast from the art world in order to stay in the country and hopefully fulfill his dreams. Problemista is the writing and directing debut from breakout Saturday Night Live writer Julio Torres, who also stars in the film as Alejandro, a toy designer from El Salvador who has landed in New York City and aspires to bring his unusual designs to life. “Because people were playing D&D yesterday on a new campaign, and they talk like a kid from Jersey, and they talk like a kid from California, and they talk like a kid from Oklahoma.” Added Daley, “I think finding levity in these situations is the best, especially when the stakes are so high.” Problemista
“We can make people talk like they talk today,” producer Jeremy Latcham-a one-time member of the Marvel Studios brain trust-told us at the time. As the filmmakers revealed last year at Comic-Con, the idea is to pivot from the somber strains of Game of Thrones or The Lord of the Rings and aim for something a little funnier and more contemporary. That’s about as generic a plot description as one might imagine for a fantasy film, but in this case, it’s more about the tone. The story follows a “charming thief” (we expect that’s Pine) who leads a band of unlikely adventurers on a quest to retrieve an ancient relic before the wrong forces get their hands on it. After a development process stretching back nearly a decade, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves will come to the screen courtesy of writers/directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein ( Game Night, Vacation), with a cast toplined by Chris Pine ( Star Trek), Michelle Rodriguez ( Fast and Furious), Regé-Jean Page ( Bridgerton), Sophia Lillis ( It), and Hugh Grant.
