Pitchfork has announced the lineup for the 2022 edition of the Pitchfork Music Festival. Mitski, The Roots, and The National will headline the three-day concert taking place July 15-17 in Chicago's Union Park.

Mitski and David Byrne appear together on "This Is A Life," the first single from Son Lux's soundtrack to new A24 movie Everything Everywhere All At Once. You can hear what the three artists cooked up together below.

Kanye West has shared visuals for "Hurricane," the de facto opener of his 32-track August 2021 tenth solo studio album, Donda. The song, which features The Weeknd and Lil Baby, has been nominated for Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 2022 Grammy Awards.

Aldous Harding announced her fourth studio album, Warm Chris, in January with its slippery lead single, "Lawn." Where that song shuffles sidelong in and out of focus, its new follow-up, "Fever," walks a straight line, the New Zealand singer-songwriter making direct eye contact with her listener (though the two tracks' respective press image tell the opposite story). "Fever, when we met at hotel reception / 'Never, have I been so tired,' you said / You bet, guess we did what the other expected," she begins over a no-nonsense, four-chord piano progression and a stretchy bass line.

Balenciaga’s Paris Fashion Week show was a winter wonderland that stole the scene for a number of reasons.

Paul Krugman Guest ColumnistFor Variety‘s Writers on Writers, Paul Krugman pens a tribute to “Dune” (screenplay by Eric Roth, Jon Spaihts and Denis Villeneuve; based on the novel “Dune” by Frank Herbert).I went to see Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” with great anticipation — but also great trepidation. The original Frank Herbert novel was enormously important to me in my teenage days, but I had some sense of how hard it would be to bring it to film; the version by David Lynch just didn’t do it for “Dune” fans.

Jennifer Yuma editorFilmmaker Denis Villeneuve will be presented with the Advanced Imaging Society’s 2022 Harold Lloyd Award for filmmaking at the 12th annual Lumiere Awards at Warner Bros. Studios on Feb.

Titanic, Aliens and The Terminator, discussed the potential of streaming services with Dune director Denis Villeneuve in Variety’s Directors On Directors feature.Speaking about pushing the medium forward, Cameron said: “I think what we can see is an expanded form of cinema. I want to do a movie that’s six hours long and two and a half hours long at the same time.

Ever since the multiple “Avatar” sequels were announced, James Cameron hasn’t hidden the fact that the franchise is a completely massive undertaking. Say what you will about the quality of the first film, “Avatar” is one of the biggest franchises in the world and there’s a lot of pressure on the filmmaker to deliver the goods (and to break new ground) with the sequels.

What’s going to happen with the future of the film industry? It’s a question that has a million different potential answers. Ultimately, it boils down to whether or not cinema as we know it can survive in a world where people have access to thousands of hours of content over various streaming services at the tip of their fingers? Right now, the answer is unclear.

Remember the name “Rendezvous With Rama,” even if you’re not a huge sci-fi head that knows this classic novel from famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (he co-wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick‘s “2001: A Space Odyssey“)? Well, it should be for film heads as it was once a project David Fincher was trying to make eons ago with Morgan Freeman.

James Cameron is a director who only makes epic films. This is the guy who was able to turn a tragic boat accident into a must-see blockbuster spectacle in “Titanic.” Obviously, he’s the man who also crafted films such as “T2: Judgment Day,” “Aliens,” and “Avatar.” Point is—this guy knows what makes a film truly epic.

Alcon Entertainment has acquired the film rights to Arthur C. Clarke’s sci-fi novel Rendezvous With Rama with Denis Villeneuve on board to direct.

They filmed the next chapter of Avatar underwater.Now James Cameron has described pushing to film Avatar 2underwater despite resistance from production who wanted to shoot scenes with actors hanging on wires.'My colleagues within the production really lobbied heavily for us to do it "dry for wet," hanging people on wires,' Cameron, 67, said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. 'I said, "It's not going to work.

Canadian-born “Avatar” director James Cameron says the four planned sequels to his 2009 moneymaker are a big gamble when it comes to the box office.

The original “Avatar” was a massive hit for 20th Century Fox (pre-Disney merger) and most recently recovered its all-time global box office record from “Avengers: Endgame” thanks to a re-release in China. It’s still unknown if the four, yes four, “Avatar” sequels will replicate that landmark success at the box office, given that the current box office climate makes it seem unlikely we’ll see films being able to reach $2.73 billion again anytime soon.
