Focus Features landed another specialty success with The Card Counter, Paul Schrader’s biggest directorial opening in over 30 years since 1987’s Light of Day and with a likely No. 8 ranking at the North American box office this weekend.
The film – starring Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe — ran in 580 theatres in 119 DMAs for a three-day estimate of $1.1 million and a per theatre average of $1,890. It’s 86% Certified Fresh after festival premieres in Venice and Telluride.
That’s the second-highest specialty opening of the year after documentary Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, also from Focus, which opened at nearly $2 million in 927 theaters (and finaled at $5.2 million). The distributor’s Matt Damon-starrer Stillwater has also had a strong run.
Like most Focus releases, The Card Counter has a 17-day exclusive theatrical window. President of distribution Lisa Bunnell told Deadline that’s key. So is marketing a title...

Ever since Olivia Wilde’s ‘Booksmart’ enamoured audiences, Wilde has become hot property behind the camera. So it’s no surprise that the likes of Florence Pugh, Chris Pine and Shia Labeouf have all joined her for ‘Don’t Worry Darling’.
Pugh is said to play the main role in the feature with Wilde stepping in to also play a character.
The project is a psychological thriller set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert.
Wilde will produce the movie, ‘Booksmart’ scribe Katie Silberman will rewrite the original script from Shane and Carey Van Dyke. Silberman will also produce alongside Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment. Catherine Hardwicke is executive producing the movie, alongside Shane and Carey Van Dyke.
Also in news – ‘Hunger Games’ helmer Francis Lawrence to return for prequel
Pugh’s star is most certainly rising, since her star turn in ‘Lady Macbeth...

‘Wonder Women’ and ‘Star Trek’ actor, Chris Pine, has entered into negotiations to star in the upcoming reboot of ‘The Saint’.
The movie follows Simon Templar (a.k.a. The Saint), a Robin Hood-esque criminal and thief for hire. Seth Grahame-Smith penned the script on what the studio is hoping will be another long-running franchise of films. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is producing along with Brad Krevoy and the late Robert Evans, posthumously.
Pine would take the titular role if negotiations are successful. Plot details are being kept under wraps, though it’s believed to take place during the present day and is not a period piece. No date has been set for production start.
‘Rocketman’ helmer Dexter Fletcher will direct the film and Seth Grahame-Smith wrote the script. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is producing along with Brad Krevoy. Robert Evans, who served as a producer on the original film and died in 2019, also helped produce.

Chris Pine is in negotiations to star in a reboot of “The Saint,” based on the 1920s book series written by Leslie Charteris.
The movie follows Simon Templar, better known as The Saint, a Robin Hood-esque criminal and thief for hire who goes on a globetrotting adventure.
Dexter Fletcher (“Rocketman”) will direct the film and Seth Grahame-Smith wrote the script. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is producing along with Brad Krevoy and Mark Vahradian. Robert Evans, who served as a producer on the original film and died in 2019, also helped produce.
Paramount and Pine have had strong ties for many years. Their relationship goes back to 2009 when the studio hired him to play Captain Kirk in the latest “Star Trek” franchise, launching his career as a leading man in the process. While the fourth “Star Trek” film is still being developed, the studio saw “The Saint” as the perfect role for Pine...

We Are The Night Movie Review
Is it possible for a vampire film to feel really fresh anymore? I can happily report that yes, yes it can! We Are The Night (Wir sind die Nacht) is a recent vampire genre film out of Germany and despite the familiarity it felt very fresh and it was extremely entertaining.
The film felt like a mixture of The Lost Boys, Near Dark, and American late 90’s vampire films with that distinct European flavour. It ranges in classic genres too; it is part horror, part romance, part drama and part action. Director and co-writer Dennis Gansel successfully blended all these elements, and it was obvious while watching the film that this was a passion project. The film is Gansel’s own take on Camilla the gothic novella that pre-dates Dracula, a subject seen before on film but not quite in this way.

Female vampires just want to have fun in We Are the Night.
A stylized vampire horror movie by German director Dennis Gansel (The Wave), 2010’s We Are the Night (or Wir sind die Nacht in its native German) follows a sect of seductive female vampires that hide out in Berlin’s alternative nightclubs, enjoying the luxuries and pleasures their attained immortality provides them. Oh, and when they’re not partying, the vamps are wreaking horror and havoc on a string of unsuspecting victims.
Starring striking German actresses Karoline Herfurth, Nina Hoss, Jennifer Ulrich and Anna Fischer as a quartet of blood-sucking babes who make the Sex and the City gals look like fruit bats, We Are the Night played in theaters in Europe last year and then popped up on a couple of screens in the U.S. in May to little fanfare.

Rating: 6.5 out of 10
The concept for We are the Night (Wir sind die Nacht), a film we've been referring to since the first teaser as a "vampire vixen drama," is pretty great: a group of female vampires wreaking havoc through a metropolis, in this case Berlin. Throw in the fact that the film is directed and co-written by Dennis Gansel, a director who impressed me with his ability to freshen up and make interesting a tired trope with The Wave, and it looked like he was onto something great with We are the Night.
Gansel builds an interesting world where vampire women have taken it upon themselves to eradicate the males of the species for being too loud and uncontrollable and vowing never to create another. "No boyfriends, no husbands." That seems to...

A few months ago we posted the first full length trailer for Dennis Gansel’s We Are the Night (Wir Sind Die Nacht), a vampire film starring Karoline Herfurth as Lena, a young woman bitten by the leader of a vampire trio.
I liked but wasn’t particularly impressed by the first trailer which was just a little too glossy and clean for my liking, more like a music video than a film but the new trailer, which features a few cuts from the first mixed with some actual plot, is doing a whole lot more for me. It’s not quite as appealing to the club generation as the first trailer was but it features Lena pre-turning, a glimpse at the undercover police officer and one of the most interesting ways I’ve ever seen of putting out a cigarette.
They’ve got my full attention.
New trailer after the break.

We Are The Night ArtThe German language film Wir sind die Nacht aka We Are the Night has a new graphic, which shows off the sexy vampires from the film. The tagline for the flick is "Immortal, Insatiable," and this short line is an obvious double entendre. In case the message is not clear in the tagline, the sparse clothing and longing looks seem to state that this will be more than your average vampire film. If you are unfamiliar with the film, a trailer is provided below, which shows a vampire trio on the movie in the dark nightlife of Berlin.
The synopsis for We Are the Night:
"One night 18-year-old Lena is bitten by Louise, leader of a female vampire trio that are as deadly as they are beautiful. Her newfound vampiric lifestyle is a blessing and a curse at the same time. At first she enjoys the limitless freedom,...
