Alfonso Cuarón’s march towards Oscars 2019 glory continues after winning top feature film for “Roma” at Saturday’s Directors Guild Awards, held at the Hollywood and Highland Center’s Ray Dolby Ballroom in Los Angeles.

The director won Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film, beating out other nominees such as Bradley Cooper for “A Star Is Born,” Adam McKay for “Vice,” Spike Lee for “BlacKkKlansman,” and Peter Farrelly for “Green Book.”

The same award was won last year by Guillermo del Toro, who later won Best Director at the 2018 Oscars for “The Shape of Water” which also won Best Picture.

Cuaron is on his way to potentially repeating a feat he achieved with 2013 sci-fi thriller “Gravity” which also won him best director at both the DGAs and the Academy Awards. He also wrote, co-edited, co-photographed, co-produced the film, which stars Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira.

The black and white semi-autobiographical drama chronicles a tumultuous year in the life of a middle-class family in Mexico City in the early 1970s.

Other big winners on Saturday were McKay, taking the the drama series award for HBO’s “Succession,” and Ben Stiller for movies for television and limited series category for Showtime’s “Escape at Dannemora.” See the full list of winners at www.dga.org.

Statham and Johnson Back In Fast And Furious Spinoff

By Creative Media Times

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for “Hobbs & Shaw”, a spin-off from The Fast and the Furious series which reunites Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s franchise characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw respectively.

The trailer is full of over-the-top action, some of which veering into superhero territory, with Hobbs and Shaw’s reluctant partnership resulting in comedic conflict while they chase the villain.

That self proclaimed bad guy here is Idris Elba’s Brixton, a criminal mastermind with destructive super human strength. “I’m dealing with the future of the planet. I’m the necessary shock to the system. I am human evolutionary change, bulletproof, superhuman,” says a menacing Brixton.

A trailer debut for a summer movie of this size is probably more suited to drop at the Super Bowl, so he’s hoping we’ll see another cut this weekend.

Directed by “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch, the film co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Roman Reigns and Helen Mirren.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is set for release this summer an August 2, 2019.

WB

Warner Bros. has dated their upcoming Matt Reeves directed Batman film simply titled “The Batman.” The DC film is now set to hit theaters on June 25th, 2021.

Reeves is said to be casting for a younger version of Bruce Wayne, and is taking a more detective treatment to the story.

Having also starred as the caped crusader in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017), actor Ben Affleck was originally attached to both star and direct The Batman. But there has been plenty of speculation over the past couple of years of whether Affleck’s version will actually materialize.

But that didn’t stop the actor from throwing his support to Reeves, posting on Twitter his own excitement for the film. “Excited for #TheBatman in Summer 2021 and to see @MattReevesLA vision come to life,” Affleck posted.

Aside from helming the superhero film, Reeves is also producing and writing the script. Matt Reeves previously directed Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017).

Peter Jackson Directing New Beatles Documentary

Apple (Parlophone)/EMI

“The Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson is said to be working on documentary about The Beatles, which will feature some 55 hours of never-before-seen footage of the band in the studio.

The band made the announcement today, which marks the 50th anniversary of their 42-minute performance on the rooftop of their Savile Row offices, which became the final public performance of a band regarded as the most influential in history.

The director is collaborating with the band for the film that includes sessions during the production of “Let It Be”, the legendary band’s final album. The footage were shot between January 2nd and January 31st, 1969.

Although the album was the last they had released, it was in fact mostly recorded before Abbey Road, The Beatles’ 11th album released a year earlier in 1969.

Peter Jackson said, “The 55 hours of never-before-seen footage and 140 hours of audio made available to us, ensures this movie will be the ultimate ‘fly on the wall’ experience that Beatles fans have long dreamt about – it’s like a time machine transports us back to 1969, and we get to sit in the studio watching these four friends make great music together.”

Director Peter Jackson released another documentary last year called “They Shall Not Grow Old,” which featured original footage of World War I. Jackson also co-produced last December’s Christian Rivers directed post-apocalyptic adventure film Mortal Engines.
