Exclusive: The “Pay It Forward” PSA was launched during the Producers Guild Awards tonight, featuring a group of producers discussing producing.
“I’d say it starts with a feeling,” Victoria Alonso says.
Other producers featured in the video include Tommy Oliver, James Lopez, Taja Perkins, Ian Cooper, Kyle Wilson, Gary Goetzman, Linda Morel, Sharon Lopez, Jessica Elbaum and Christine Oh.
They take turns talking about all the obstacles they have to go through to make a production happen, like directors asking for a Black Hawk but not specifying if they meant the helicopter or the bird. Wilson says he ended up booking both.

In a coup for the Madrid-based sales agency, Latido Films has cliched a two picture deal with David Pérez Sañudo whose debut feature, “Ane,” repped by Latido, swept three Spanish Academy Goya Awards in 2021.
Latido will take world sales rights on both titles. The move comes as Spanish sales companies battle to retain top-flight talent, increasingly in the crosshairs of international counterparts.
With Pérez Sañudo, Latido gets one of Spain’s most exciting young directors, particularly for a skill now held at high value in and outside the U.S.: His ability to channel genre and sub-genre, often in individual scenes, injecting them with a larger sense of narrative.
Latido handled world sales rights on movies on another director with that sensitivity to sub-genre, Rodrigo Sorogoyen, from May God Save Us” (2016) to “The Realm” (2018) and “The Beasts” (2022) which trounced multiple Cannes winners to win best foreign film at France’s Cesars last year.

The first season of ‘Berlin’ hit the screens in late 2023 and made quite the splash. Within just its debut week, it climbed to the top of the charts as the most-watched series globally. It’s not just about the initial buzz, the show has consistently stayed in the top 10 for seven straight weeks in the non-English TV category.

Labyrinthine corridors connect the sprawling worlds within The Grill, a traditional eatery by the hustle and bustle of Times Square in “La Cocina.” Open one door, and you are in the kitchen, a boiler room of rage and frustration tamed only by the often frail bonds of camaraderie; turn a corner, and you’re spat straight onto the busy restaurant floor, where waitresses in matching outfits move like a ballet between tables occupied with birthday boys and men as foreign to politeness as hawks are to the sea.

The Money Heist(La Casa de Papel) gang might’ve pulled off their heist at last, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end of the story. The series’ spin-off — by Money Heist creator Álex Pina and his Sky Rojo collaborator, Esther Martínez Lobato — is centered around the character Berlin (Pedro Alonso), long before he finds out about his terminal diagnosis and takes the Royal Mint of Spain hostage. Starring Alonso, Julio Peña, and Begoña Vargas, Berlin follows the titular character as he attempts one of his most extraordinary heists yet.
“It’s a trip through the golden age of the character, when he robbed around Europe crazy in love,” Pina told Netflix.

“It’s about a whole bunch of things,” Mexican filmmaker Alonso Ruizpalacios says when quizzed on the subject of his latest feature, La Cocina, debuting this evening at the Berlin Film Festival. “In equal parts, it explores the topic of work, the American dream, the failure of the American dream, and abortion rights. That’s a really tough question as a director.”
Ruizpalacios has a point. Starring Rooney Mara and shot in a crisp digital black-and-white, La Cocina is hard to define. Running just short of two-and-a-half hours, the pic is a complex and formally ambitious tale, perhaps best described as a tragicomedy, set in a deathly busy New York City restaurant called The Grill.
The film opens during the lunch rush at The Grill, where, to the fury of the restaurant management, money has gone missing from the till. As a result, all the undocumented cooks are now subject...

Inspired by Arnold Wesker’s 1957 stage play, “The Kitchen,” Alonso Ruizpalacios’ “La Cocina” dives deep into the bowels of the industrial-size kitchen of a restaurant in New York City’s Times Square where food is churned out to serve throngs of diners, mostly tourists.
For Ruizpalacios, whose feature debut, “Güeros,” won the best first feature award at the Berlinale nearly 10 years ago, “La Cocina” (“The Kitchen”) is basically an anti-food-porn movie. “I wanted to show the other side of the food industry where expediency is more important than the quality of the food. It’s a metaphor for corporate capitalism,” he says.
The story takes place at the fictional The Grill in Manhattan, where cash has gone missing from the register. All the undocumented cooks, hailing from a diversity of countries, are placed under scrutiny, particularly Pedro (Raúl Briones), who is already on the line for his troublemaking.

It would be the longest hap between films and certainly his most ambitious project to date (it was rumored to span all the continents but the pandemic would have changed plans), Argentinean filmmaker Lisandro Alonso‘s Eureka (which premiered in the Cannes Premiere section) does indeed have connective tissues to his last feature (Un Certain Regard selected Jauja). In his sixth feature film, Alonso delves into the lives of indigenous peoples and communities, emphasizing the importance of pausing, reflecting, and reconsidering our perceptions of these individuals, particularly in the context of time and the screen. At the 2023 Marrakech International Film Festival I got to ask him about the thought process behind some of the metaphysical elements, the myth of the American West, representation, and if there are any updates on The God Beside My Bed – a project that would team him with Rick Alverson.…...

When the first teaser for Marvel’s upcoming–and aptly titled–movie The Marvels was unveiled on April 11th, it was met with…well, just about what you’d expect. Just one week after The Marvels teaser hit YouTube, it’s looking to be the studio’s most disliked trailer yet.
As of publication, The Marvels teaser has 623,000 dislikes, or 56% of the 1,111,000 votes. Meanwhile, on our own YouTube channel, where dislikes of The Marvels teaser make up 83% of the reactions. Now, these aren’t “Baby Shark” numbers, but it could be a strong indication that some trolling is afoot, with some citing misogynistic attitudes as the main culprit.
Just to compare some numbers, let’s look at two other 2023 Marvel movies: the latest trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 has just 5,600 dislikes out of 13 million views, while Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania had a bit more stinging 29,000 dislikes.
