Two hotly-favored competition frontrunners, Spain’s motherhood-focused “Lullaby” and “Utama,” shot on an awe-inspiring Bolivian Altiplano, swept the board at a historic, 25th Málaga Film Festival which said a lot about the current state of the Spanish film industry.
Running March 18-26, the Festival proved a vibrant affair, galvanised by renewed interest in the Spanish cinema after a buoyant reception for its major movies at Berlin, as well as the joy of proving the first time many industry attendees had seen each other in person in two years and backing from Spain’s Avs Hub plan for a vastly larger industry presence.
In Alauda Ruiz de Azúa’s “Lullaby,” coming after Sundance hit “Piggy” and Carla Simón’s Berlin Golden Bear triumph “Alcarrás,” Spain would look to have a third art pic breakout in just the first three months of 2022, all driven by a young generation of women cineastes, directors and producers.

After signing a first look film and TV deal with Netflix, Jennifer Lopez has set yet another project with the streamer, this time a science fiction film called “Atlas” that “San Andreas” filmmaker Brad Peyton will direct.
In “Atlas,” Lopez will play a woman fighting for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. To out-think this rogue AI, Atlas must work with the one thing she fears most — another AI.
Aron Eli Coleite wrote the latest draft of the screenplay based on an original script by Leo Sardarian.
Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell will produce “Atlas” for for Safehouse Pictures, as will Brad Peyton and Jeff Fierson for Asap Entertainment and Jennifer Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina for Nuyorican Productions.
Courtney Baxter is the executive producer, and Matt Schwartz is a co-producer.

Jennifer Lopez is humanity’s last hope.
Well, at least that’s the premise of “Atlas,” a sci-fi thriller set to star the “Jenny From the Block” singer and “Hustlers” actress. Brad Peyton, who orchestrated on-screen carnage in “Rampage” and “San Andreas,” will direct the film. “Atlas” unfolds in a bleak-sounding future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. Obviously, this extremist approach to achieving a pacifist paradise doesn’t go down so well with Lopez, who finds herself teaming up with, as the official logline puts it: “the one thing she fears most — another AI.” Dun dun dun!

Filmmaker Niki Caro and Charlize Theron are teaming up to develop a feature film about women’s fight for equality in big wave surfing for Netflix.
The feature is based on Daniel Duane’s New York Times Magazine article, “The Fight For Gender Equality In One of the Most Dangerous Sports on Earth,” and the four women — Bianca Valenti, Andrea Moller, Paige Alms, Keala Kennelly — who are fighting for the right to compete in big-wave contests.
The four women form a powerful bond as they surf dangerous spots including California’s Maverick’s and Maui’s Jaws while asserting their right to join the male-dominated competitions.
Caro will direct the film, from a screenplay adapted by Becky Johnston, which will focus on the four women’s stories and their powerful bond.
Caro will also produce the film adaptation alongside Theron, Aj Dix and Beth Kono for Denver and Delilah.

On Monday morning, French playwright Florian Zeller’s first feature film, The Father, collected six Oscar nominations. And it seems there will be more where that came from. Speaking via Zoom after nominations were announced, Zeller revealed to Deadline that he’s currently finishing up an adaptation of the newest of his plays: The Son—and he knows exactly who he wants to cast, too.
A story of the slow slide into dementia, The Father is told from the point of view of Anthony (Anthony Hopkins), as he wanders confused through a mental hall of mirrors, failing to recognize his daughter (Olivia Colman) and his environment. The Son forms a trio with The Father and another of Zeller’s plays, The Mother. The Son is also, Zeller said, particularly special to him, as he has not wanted to write anything new since. “Now I know that this is the story...

Exclusive: In competitive bidding, Amazon Studios is in negotiations for Fuel, a pitch for an action vehicle movie for Lovecraft Country star Jurnee Smollett. She is attached to produce with Lovecraft Country EP Misha Green.
The script will be written by Kat Wood. The plan is to develop this as a vehicle for Smollett to play a wheel woman, a fresh take on a familiar character. The film is an action-packed female empowerment story that will subvert the relationship between cars and masculinity. The heroine is a getaway driver who is coerced into working for a criminal and breaking all the rules she set out for herself.
Wood, who’ll be exec producer, has set up numerous high-profile projects including Envoy and Genus to Amy Pascal’s Pascal Pictures, Diplomatic Courier to Skydance Media, Ruby to 87North and Amazon.

Misha Green is taking on Lara Croft.
The “Lovecraft Country” and “Underground” creator is set to make her feature directorial debut, writing and directing the next installment of “Tomb Raider” for MGM.
Alicia Vikander will reprise her role as Lara Croft in the sequel to the 2018 action flick, which earned nearly $275M at the global box office.
Green shared her excitement about the project on Twitter, posting a little tease for fans and fellow gamers about the storyline.
“My fav from classic era is Legend & from survival era it’s a tie between Rise & Shadow,” Green wrote. “Who’s as excited as I am for a @TombRaiderMovie!?!?”
Green is on quite the hot streak after last summer’s “Lovecraft Country,“ which was a smash hit for HBO. Green created, directed and served as a writer and executive producer on the show, based on the novel by Matt Ruff, alongside Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams.

Florian Zeller always knew he wanted to make his directorial debut with a film version of his Tony-winning play “The Father” and that it would be in English. While he knew that he wanted Sir Anthony Hopkins to play the title character, he never expected this to happen. “The character’s name became Anthony. I knew it was not an easy dream to fulfill, because he is Sir Anthony Hopkins. But I did not want to close the door to this possibility because I knew he would be very powerful in this part.” Zeller was part of Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts panel, conducted virtually by this writer (watch the exclusive video above).
In “The Father,” an elderly man refuses all assistance from his daughter Anne (Olivia Colman). As he tries to make sense of his changing circumstances, he begins to doubt his loved ones, himself and even the fabric of his reality.

Brandi Carlile has earned accolades — and Grammy awards — as the songwriter of such personal works as “The Joke,” “The Story,” and “The Mother.” This spring, she’ll share an even more intimate, lengthy tale with the release of her first memoir, Broken Horses. Due April 6th via Crown, an imprint of Random House Publishing Group, the book follows Carlile through her childhood to becoming one of music’s most agile and hard-to-pin-down artists.
In an interview with Rolling Stone this summer, Carlile described the book as an amalgamation of things.

The Glorias tells the story of legendary feminist activist Gloria Steinem across several generations, employing four different actresses to portray Steinem from her youth to her mature years. Steinem came to prominence, of course, during the turbulent 1960s, a decade that brought big changes to civil rights for both women and minorities. While she was [...]

The Mother — that role that was once cautioned against for young actors — is far more realistic than it used to be. This year’s crop of comedy actress Emmy nominees plays an array of characters that embrace the authenticity of motherhood as a piece (not entirety) of the female experience, relegating June Cleaver archetypes firmly in the rearview mirror.
“The industry is finally opening it up. We do have a voice that isn’t a man writing a movie about two women being catty and then being the Type A mom,” says “Dead to Me’s” Christina Applegate. “They do exist, but most of us aren’t like that. Most of us are suffering. Most of us are struggling to be — not the best that we can be, but just be enough.”
Applegate adds that there is an importance to reflecting that struggle on-screen. Making mistakes as a mother doesn’t indicate her character,...

After hitting indie gold with their beloved 2012 drama “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” filmmaker and composer Benh Zeitlin and composer Dan Romer have reunited to craft another sweeping score for Zeitlin’s much-anticipated followup film. More than seven years in the making, “Wendy” finally premiered at Sundance in January and is gearing up for a theatrical release at the end of the month.
Per the film’s official synopsis, it’s “the classic story of Peter Pan wildly reimagined in this ragtag epic … Lost on a mysterious island where aging and time have come unglued, Wendy must fight to save her family, her freedom, and the joyous spirit of youth from the deadly peril of growing up.” Zeitlin has again utilized a cast of youngsters and newbies to sell his vision of a Peter Pan story of a different stripe.

Before Daniel Craig hangs up his license to kill, the Museum of Modern Art will offer up a film series tribute to the actor’s big screen career. The program, which will run from March 3 to 22, comes on the eve of Craig’s final appearance as James Bond in “No Time to Die.”
“I couldn’t ever imagine being put in a museum, but what an honor and a thrill to be shown at MoMA,” noted Craig.
The film series will trace Craig’s evolution from European arthouse regular to A-list superstar. It will include notable early turns by Craig in the likes of John Maybury’s “Love Is the Devil: Study for a Portrait of Francis Bacon” (1998), Roger Mitchell’s “The Mother” (2003) and “Enduring Love” (2004), and Matthew Vaughn’s “Layer Cake,” the stylish crime thriller that helped the actor land the 007 franchise.
