Paramount+ premiered the werewolf horror series “Wolf Pack” back in January 2023, and TV Line reports tonight that the series has already been cancelled after just one season.
Sarah Michelle Gellar made her return to horror in the series.
TV Line reports, “Last summer’s dual Hollywood strikes were the final nail in Wolf Pack‘s coffin. According to sources, a potential second season would not have been ready for nearly two years after the conclusion of Season 1.”
“Wolf Pack,” written and produced by Jeff Davis, follows a teenage boy and girl whose lives are changed forever when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature and drives it to attack a highway traffic jam beneath the burning hills.
Wounded in the chaos, the boy and girl are inexplicably drawn to each other and to two other teenagers who were adopted sixteen years earlier by a park ranger after another mysterious wildfire.

Plot: On the verge of bankruptcy, Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) enters his racing team in the 1957 Mille Miglia.
Review: Ferrari is the only movie to come out this year that can say it sports a screenplay credit by a writer who’s been dead for fourteen years. Indeed, director Michael Mann has been trying to get his Ferrari movie off the ground for at least the last twenty years. He came close about eight years ago, with Christian Bale set to lead what would have been a big-budget version of the story. But, in the years since, the industry has changed, with Mann having to contend with a leaner budget to make his long-held passion project. Rather than compromise his vision, the potentially reduced scope helps make this one of his most intimate and involving films, harkening back to the days of The Insider.
Adam Driver is well-cast as Enzo Ferrari.

The drama is not just about fast cars; it’s just as much about grief. Both from the danger of racing them in the treacherous Mille Miglia, flying through 1,000 miles of Italian streets at 130 mph through all weather, in death-trap cars that often left drivers with a short shelf life.

Driver’s calm but forthright response to a cheeky audience question was a fine example of When Actors Fight Back, but he may now forever be baited
There’s a lot of talk at the moment about the existential crisis facing the film industry. Knocked by the pandemic, threatened by the internet and stalled by the WGA and Sag-Aftra strikes, there have been moments where it has felt like Hollywood would never again experience another normal day.
Well, breathe a sigh of relief, because normality has resumed. The strikes are over, the actors are back at work and Adam Driver just said “Fuck you” to a fan in front of an audience. Hollywood is back, baby.

Adam Driver’s lowkey visit to Poland’s EnergaCamerimage Film Festival turned into a viral internet meme over the weekend after the actor gave an expletive response to a question during an audience Q&a following a screening of Ferrari.
Marek Zydowicz, the festival’s director and founder, has now shared a statement in response to the viral clip, which has been the center of much discussion on the ground here in Torun.
“As is the case with any film festival featuring open conversations with invited artists, both sensible and completely trivial questions and comments. In my opinion, the question raised during the Q&a with Adam Driver belonged to the second category,” Zydowicz’s statement read. “It was an assessment, lacking deeper reasoning, which is against the spirit of our festival and the work we are aiming to achieve.”

Melissa Gilbert, the former president of SAG-AFTRA from 2001-2005, thinks that SAG-AFTRA’s new Halloween guidelines are ridiculous.
On Thursday, the Little House on the Prairie star called out the guild and its leaders for their “infantile” stance on Halloween costumes as the actors’ strike continues.
Alongside an image of a Hollywood Reporter story about the guild’s rules, Gilbert wrote on Instagram, “This is what you guys come up with? Literally, no one cares what anyone wears for Halloween. I mean, do you really think this kind of infantile stuff is going to end the strike? We look like a joke.”
She continues, “Please tell me you’re going to make this rule go away…. and go negotiate! For the love of God, people are suffering mightily and this is what you have to say… c’mon.”

Mann walked the red carpet at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and sat down for a post-screening Q&A alongside “Ferrari” stars Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley and Gabriel Leone, who were able to attend the premiere due to the film’s SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.
“The mindset of a racer was something we talked about,” Driver said of his preparation with Mann for the Enzo Ferrari biopic. “There’s this prolonged, myopic focus that needs to be sustained until the race is over and you’re constantly dealing with what’s happening in the moment… With a race, there’s always potential danger.”

Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Michael Mann and more of the cast and crew of Ferrari vroomed their way onto the red carpet on Friday for the closing night of the 61st annual New York Film Festival.
The film brings to the big screen a few difficult months of Enzo Ferrari’s (Driver) life, as he balances two families and his family’s company finds itself on the brink of going bankrupt.
For the longest time, Mann, the filmmaker behind films like The Insider and The Last of the Mohicans, felt the movie would be impossible to make because Formula 1 wasn’t always appreciated in the United States. But, in 2019, when Netflix released Formula 1: Drive to Survive, a docuseries about the high-octane sport, that changed. Now, the U.S. is one of the biggest Formula 1 venues in the world.
“This is not a racing movie,” Mann told The Hollywood Reporter.

Although Adam Driver portrays legendary sports-car magnate Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s biographical drama, the actor didn’t get to drive one of the 1950s-era replicas for “Ferrari.” Instead, he drove an “open-wheel single seater” that was modified to connect a camera to it.
Asked how it was getting behind the wheel of that particular vintage sports car, Driver simply replied, “Terrifying.”
“It teleports you back to the time and you realize if you turn left or right the wrong way, then you’re dead,” Driver told Variety at the “Ferrari” North American premiere at the New York Film Festival Friday night. “There’s at least seatbelts in the newer cars.”
Driver described the single seater as a “moving coffin” at a New York Film Festival press conference earlier on Friday.
The driving occurred at “an abandoned airstrip in Modena, Italy,” he recalled. “And you can really feel how dangerous they are obviously,...

Michael Mann returns after a hiatus with his new film, Ferrari. The prolific director has been on the festival circuit promoting his biopic drama, and talks have been floating around for a while of Mann possibly revisiting his famous 90s heist drama, Heat. Michael Mann’s iconic film notably brought together the acting powers of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in a head-to-head cops and robbers tale. Mann released a sequel to Heat in book form last year, which he penned with co-author Meg Gardiner, and since the novel was released, rumors instantly sprang of Mann possibly doing a film version with his Ferrari leading man, Adam Driver.
Deadline is now reporting that while speaking at their Contenders London event, Mann has confirmed that his next project will, in fact, be Heat 2. He stated, “Yes. Meg Gardiner and myself wrote the novel Heat 2, which came out right when we were shooting Ferrari.

Since his debut film "Thief" hit theaters in 1981, Michael Mann has enjoyed a reputation as one of the best working directors we have in America. Across masterfully mounted films like "Heat," "Collateral," and "Manhunter," he's also earned a somewhat unusual place in the filmmaking pantheon. He's become somewhat of a household name, his films generally do good business at the box office, and he tends to work in genre -- from the noir to the thriller to the procedural. And yet his films also compete at prestigious international film festivals, they've been given Criterion releases, and he's often lumped in with "arthouse" directors like Paul Thomas Anderson and Wes Anderson, rather than action helmers like Michael Bay or Tony Scott.
All this is to say that Mann's career is a bit of a paradox, but it's a wonderful one, and new Michael Mann movies should always be regarded as appointment viewing.

Ferrari director Michael Mann has revealed that Heat 2 is going to be his next movie. The film will serve as both a sequel and a prequel to the first film Heat, which was released in 1995 and starred Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as a professional thief and a relentless cop, respectively.
Heat 2 is based on the novel of the same name, which Mann co-wrote with Meg Gardiner and published in August 2023. The novel became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and received critical acclaim for its thrilling and complex story. The novel follows the characters of Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, and Vincent Hanna in the years before and after the events of Heat, as they engage in various heists, chases, and confrontations across the U.S. and Mexico.

Heat 2 is based on the novel of the same name, which Mann co-wrote with Meg Gardiner and published in August 2023. The novel became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller and received critical acclaim for its thrilling and complex story. The novel follows the characters of Neil McCauley, Chris Shiherlis, and Vincent Hanna in the years before and after the events of Heat, as they engage in various heists, chases, and confrontations across the U.S. and Mexico.

Exclusive: Speaking onstage at our Contenders London event over the weekend, Ferrari director Michael Mann confirmed that Heat 2 is set to be his next movie.
Asked whether the novel adaptation would be his next screen epic, the legendary filmmaker told us: “Yes. Meg Gardiner and myself wrote the novel Heat 2, which came out right when we were shooting Ferrari. It did very well. I plan to shoot that next.”
Deadline revealed earlier this year — pre-strikes — that Mann’s Ferrari lead Adam Driver was in talks to play the young Neil McCauley (the character played by Robert De Niro in the first movie) in Heat 2, which also had Warner Bros in talks to join.

When asked whether he could reteam with Driver on the movie, Mann laughed and told us: “Perhaps. We don’t talk about that yet.

Michael Mann’s high-octane sports feature Ferrari has been two decades in the making, and speaking at Deadline’s Contenders London event, the director admitted there were times he thought his passion project about the life of Enzo Ferrari would never take off.
“There were numerous times when I thought this was an impossible film to make,” said Mann. “And then I would go back and reread the screenplay and what was magical and riveting about it would present itself all over again and I constantly stayed completely committed to it.”
The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in August, follows the life of Enzo Ferrari. It’s set in 1957, when the marriage of Enzo (Adam Driver) and Laura (Penélope Cruz) has begun to fracture as a result of his philandering and the tragic recent death of their young son. Their unsettled domestic world is on a collision...

Jessica Chastain is revealing the balance of supporting the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes while promoting indie films through interim agreements.
The “Memory” actress said during the Venice Film Festival press conference that she was “incredibly nervous” to attend the festival where the indie film is premiering.
“Some people on my team advised me against it,” Chastain said, adding, “I’m very aware of how lucky I am. It’s a wonderful profession what we get to do as actors. And we are quite often, because of that, made to feel like we have to be quiet in order to protect future working opportunities. And we are often told and reminded how grateful we should be. That is the environment that I think has allowed workplace abuse to go unchecked for many decades. And it’s also the environment that has saddled members of my union with unfair contracts.”

The 2023 Venice Film Festival is underway, and while the Hollywood strikes have kept the bulk of the stars from attending the lauded fest, the red carpet isn’t entirely devoid of actors and has been host to a number of filmmakers from Wes Anderson to Michael Mann (directors are not on strike). Actors like “Ferrari” star Adam Driver were able to attend after receiving an Interim Agreement from SAG-AFTRA that allows for independent productions that adhere to SAG-AFTRA’s terms to move forward during the strike.

'Ferrari' producer Andrea Iervolino has hit back at criticism of the decision to cast Adam Driver in the lead role.The 35-year-old producer claimed that Italian cinema has not produced enough high-profile stars to play the part of Enzo Ferrari – the founder of the legendary car company - and rubbished suggestions of "cultural appropriation" by film star Pierfrancesco Favino.Speaking at the Venice Film Festival, Iervolino – who is Italian-Canadian – said: "Italian cinema needs to look beyond Italy and come up with synergies with the international film industry, which wants to invest in Italian icons. Films like 'Ferrari', which will be distributed in 150 countries, promote Italy and Italian genius."The producer called on Italy's film industry to "make films based on stories that speak to the whole world, with international stars who work side by side with our own talent".Favino had questioned why acclaimed actors such as Toni Servillo...

Grand Knighthawk Infiltrating The KKK happens to be a tale that would fit very well in a season of something like American Crime Story. It’s a story that makes your blood boil and your skin crawl. A story about which you probably had barely any idea. The ABC News documentary Grand Knighthawk: Infiltrating the KKK can very well fit into all three categories quite neatly. KKK stands for Ku Klux Klan, the infamous and most notorious white supremacist organization in the United States of America. Most of you already know that, as I am assuming that you are reading this only after watching the documentary. In this article, we are going to summarize the whole thing and run an analysis of it.

Like every big Hollywood name attending the Venice Film Festival, “The Killer” director David Fincher was asked about the ongoing double actors’ and writers’ strike that kept the stars of his new film away from the luxurious Italian showcase.
“I’m very sad, obviously. I sit in the middle of both parties,” Fincher said. “This movie was made during the pandemic… we just got done with three years of having to set our brushes down and walk away. The idea of that continuing on, especially now… is particularly sad to me. I can see both sides, and all we can do is encourage them to talk.”
Such talks don’t seem to be happening anytime soon, as the Writers Guild of America and AMPTP have not met since Aug. 22. That’s when leaders of the WGA had a contentious talk with several top studio CEOs, who urged the guild to...

Adam Driver hit out at streaming services like Amazon and Netflix as he promoted his film “Ferrari” at Venice Film Festival on Thursday.
The actor stars as Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s drama. The film was granted a waiver as it was not produced under Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) contracts, allowing the cast to publicize the flick at the festival amid the ongoing actors and writers strikes.
During the press conference, Driver called out Amazon and Netflix for refusing to meet SAG-AFTRA’s demands, insisting: “I’m very proud to be here to be a visual representation of a movie that’s not part of the AMPTP and to promote the SAG leadership directive, which is an effective tactic, which is the interim agreement,” Variety reported.

But that didn’t halt proceedings, which began early Wednesday with the official jury presser, where we saw our first mention of the Hollywood strikes.

Few issues in this fall film festival season have been as contentious as the interim agreement.
The agreements, handed out by SAG-AFTRA to allow union members to promote their films at Venice, Toronto and Telluride, have divided the indie industry, with some seeing the agreements as a key means of supporting non-amptp projects and others complaining that the conditions of the agreements put undue burdens on producers and sales companies trying to make deals with distributors on finished films.
One of the conditions is that distributors comply with SAG-AFTRA demands, including on the subject of subscription revenue and residuals, issues that the studios and streamers have rejected in negotiations with the union. Producers and sales agents are reporting that the majors and global platforms are refusing to consider projects with interim agreements, closing off a major revenue option for independent productions.
Venice will be the first big test of the impact of the SAG agreements.

“I can’t believe she’s here!” an industry audience member whispered to his neighbor at the Telluride Film Festival’s Chuck Jones Theater Thursday evening, when Julia Louis-Dreyfus stepped up to the podium. Louis-Dreyfus was the first actor at Telluride to take advantage of one of the Screen Actors Guild’s interim agreements, which allows her to promote her A24 film, Tuesday.
Louis-Dreyfus, who has been a regular on the picket lines during the strike, was clearly prepared to explain herself to the crowd at the Chuck Jones, almost all of whom had assumed they were coming to a star-free premiere of a tiny film from a little known first-time director, Daina O. Pusic.
“As a proud member of the Screen Actors Guild for the last 41 years, I stand here in solidarity with my union and the WGA,” Louis-Dreyfus said. “I want to thank my union for the battle...

Adam Driver took to the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival this week in support of his new film “Ferrari,” but he’s one of only a few stars who are attending the usually buzzy festival. Thanks to the SAG-AFTRA interim agreement, actors on certain projects are allowed to promote movies because the studios behind those films are not represented by the AMPTP, and they have agreed to the union’s terms. Others, like “Maestro” star and director Bradley Cooper, will be skipping the splashy premiere of their films in solidarity with the SAG-AFTRA since their projects hail from AMPTP studios.
There is a loophole that allows an actor who also directed a project to promote that project because the Director’s Guild of America has successfully negotiated a deal with the AMPTP, but Cooper has opted not to appear.

The first reviews are in from Thursday night’s Venice Film Festival world premiere of the Michael Mann-directed major Oscar contender “Ferrari,” the action-packed Neon study of the Italian racer and sports car entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari starring Adam Driver as Ferrari, Penelope Cruz as his wife Laura and Shailene Woodley as his mistress Lina Lardi. It focuses on three pivotal months in the life of Ferrari back in 1957, casting its focus on that year’s grueling Mille Miglia endurance race and the love triangle between Enzo and his women. While the early critiques are mixed with some lukewarm ones, the majority are uniformly positive and include a few outright raves.
Here is a sampling:
Owen Gleiberman of Variety raves, “In Michael Mann’s heady, intricately dark, raptly absorbing ‘Ferrari,’ it isn’t just the action that’s fraught with thrilling danger. Every moment of the drama moves with a sense of high-stakes dread,...

Among all working U.S. filmmakers, few have built as faithful and fervent a following of critics and cinephiles as Michael Mann. Mann’s acolytes have secured such sleekly hard-boiled genre works as “Thief” and “Heat” a permanent place in the American canon, while staunchly advocating for the merits of more divisive titles like “Blackhat” and “Miami Vice” — the latter, released to mixed reviews and moderate box office in 2006, today attracts reverent crowds at repertory screenings. Such is the power of Mann’s men (and women): At 80, Mann has made just 12 films in a career spanning five decades, but his legacy is wholly secure.
The Academy, however, has never quite joined the cult. Only once has a Mann film connected with a wide swath of Oscar voters: That would be 1999’s scorching Big Tobacco takedown “The Insider,” a box-office disappointment that nonetheless boasted enough artistry and gravitas to land seven nominations,...

Francis Ford Coppola’s self-funded passion project, epic film “Megalopolis,” has been granted an interim agreement from SAG-AFTRA amid the ongoing strike. While the film, starring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Shia Labeouf, Dustin Hoffman, and Forest Whitaker, wrapped production in March 2023, it’s unclear what the interim agreement would be for.
Coppola has yet to tease a release date for the film, with the SAG exemption perhaps for the actors to promote the film. Similarly, if Coppola opted for reshoots, the SAG interim agreement could be for allowing actors to return to set.
The SAG-AFTRA interim agreements do not publicly differentiate between actors promoting a project or filming. Casting is only highlighted in separate agreements. A rep for Coppola declined to comment further beyond confirming the film had signed the interim agreement.

The first big-deal flick at this year’s Venice Film Festival, and thus this year’s awards season race, is Michael Mann’s “Ferrari.”
The picture marks the four-time Academy Award nominee’s return to theatrical features, more than eight years after the Chris Hemsworth-starring hacker actioner “Blackhat.”
Even with rave reviews and copious awards nominations, Mann’s pictures have often been more celebrated by the critical community than embraced by general audiences.

Adam Driver, Patrick Dempsey and Michael Mann gave an octane boost of star power to the 80th Venice Film Festival Thursday night, with their car racer biopic Ferrari welcomed warmly by the Lido audience.
Driver plays the legendary Italian car maker Enzo Ferrari in the period drama, which co-stars Penélope Cruz as his wife Laura Ferrari and Shailene Woodley as Ferrari’s mistress and the mother of his second son, Pierro.
Pierro Ferrari was in the audience Thursday night, enjoying the raptous reception from the Venice crowd, which gave the film a good seven minute standing ovation, with Driver obviously moved by the response.
The film focuses in on a turning point in the auto magnate’s life — caught between the dual lives he is leading with his wife and mistress—and in the history of his car company, which is close to bankruptcy. Ferrari decides to bet everything on a treacherous 1,000-mile open-road race.

Michael Mann’s long-gestating drama, Ferrari, peels into the Venice Film Festival this afternoon, and reviews are already leaving the starting line. The film, based on motorsports journalist Brock Yates’ biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man, The Car, The Races, The Machine, focuses on a portion of the auto magnate’s storied career, with Adam Driver commanding the screen as Enzo. Instead of following the world-famous figure from the start of his journey, Ferarri revolves around the time when the Italian auto manufacturer was in dire straights, and Enzo was juggling two relationships between his wife, Laura Ferrari (played by Penélope Cruz), and his mistress, Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mann’s Ferrari is “as unapologetically masculine as anything Mann has made and also as visceral.” The outlet says Mann does an admirable job of balancing Enzo’s crisis with exhilarating racing scenes that give the film...

In hindsight, it seems inevitable that Michael Mann would one day set his camera on a Ferrari’s sleek red contours. What an obvious match, what a perfect pair, what more fitting a subject for a filmmaker with a singular obsession for singular obsessives, for a screen stylist who’s spent five decades aestheticizing efficiency. And so, it should come with little surprise that “Ferrari” astounds when Mann’s focus narrows to pure gear-head reverie; unfortunately, in between the film’s narrative engine often sputters and stalls.
Premiering at the Venice Film Festival and heralding a welcome return to the big screen after eight long years away, Mann’s high-verve biopic also marks a formal shift towards a more classical compositional style. The film forgoing the digital experimentation that colored Mann’s past four films for something closer to tone and tempo to prestige TV – that is, at least until the motors roar.

Venice film festival: Adam Driver plays an Enzo Ferrari whose racing days are over, bumbling between his wife, his mistress and bankruptcy in a film that only comes to life during the crash scenes
Here is a film showing us the great Enzo Ferrari who is, in the words of the song, always crashing in the same car. Screenwriter Troy Kennedy Martin and director Michael Mann give us Adam Driver as the harassed, greying, paunchy Enzo, the petrolhead hero turned owner of the legendary family business, grinding unsmilingly round and round the race-track circuit of his life in late 1950s Modena.
Enzo is increasingly outclassed by the upstarts at Maserati, looking for a win, looking for way out of bankruptcy, looking for way to placate his embittered wife Laura (Penelope Cruz) in whose name he has rashly put the business assets, looking for a way to acknowledge his mistress Lina...

There is an unstoppable force at the center of Michael Mann’s Ferrari. It is fast, fierce, and wildly unpredictable. One moment it has you in the throes of ecstasy; the next, fearing for your life. And when you see it coming around the bend, it’s curtains. Don’t even bother putting up a fight. You’ll lose.
I’m talking, of course, about Penélope Cruz.
Hell hath no fury like her Laura Ferrari, the wife of Italian automaking icon Enzo Ferrari (a stately Adam Driver). When we first meet Laura,...

Thanks to a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement, Michael Mann’s “Ferrari” is among the indie, AMPTP-less productions able to bring its director, cast, and crew to the Venice Film Festival.
The moment-in-time biography about ex-racer and automaker Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) as he prepares his financially bleeding company for the 1,000-mile Mille Miglia race across Italy screened Tuesday morning in the Sala Darsena before tonight’s world premiere. Mann and Driver were joined by actor Patrick Dempsey (who plays racer Piero Taruffi), cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt, and more at the post-screening press conference.
“His story is so profoundly human and when you encounter a character as dynamic as he is, as operatic as he is, the more specifically you get into the man, the deeper you dive, the more universal it becomes, and I found that the way so many parts of him were in opposition to each other, his life resonated with,...
