The Sundance Film Festival physically staged its 2020 edition pre-pandemic. Now, newly installed festival director Tabitha Jackson has unveiled an online hub and U.S.

industry partnerships to carry off a novel coronavirus-era indie film showcase in early 2021. Shortened to seven days, compared to the usual 10 days, the Sundance Institute's upcoming Jan.

28 to Feb. 3 event will have film lovers mostly scrolling to view around 70 feature-length movies and additional short films on a bespoke digital platform, rather than moving on the ground among theaters in Park City to take in premieres, events and talks, as in the past.

CNN's Cuomo cheers SCOTUS rejection of Texas case: 'Trumpers lost ... packing the court didn't beat justice'

CNN anchor Chris Cuomo could not contain his excitement Friday over the Supreme Court's rejection of Texas' effort to nullify the presidential election results in four key swing states. Despite strong support among GOP lawmakers and state attorneys general, the Lone Star State's bid to halt the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's victories in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan was turned aside by the highest court in the land. “The State of Texas’s motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution,” read the court's one-page order.

Variety Names 10 Directors to Watch for 2021

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticAt the risk of sounding presumptuous, Variety’s 10 Directors to Watch list has never mattered more than it does in a year where festivals and co-production showcases have been canceled and the film industry is hungry for any sign of where tomorrow’s talents might be hiding.Emerging filmmakers have been pushed to the sidelines by a global pandemic — which makes it quite a privilege for Variety’s editors to have had an early look at dozens of upcoming movies in preparation for this list. (Full profiles will run in 2021.)Each of the directors was selected on the strength of their most recent feature, some of which screened as works in progress.

Endeavor’s Patrick Whitesell On WarnerMedia: ‘Blatant Attempt To Self-Deal And Use Our Clients Work To Build Their HBO Max Streaming Service’

EXCLUSIVE: Endeavor Executive Chairman Patrick Whitesell today updated the agents at WME on how egregious he felt last week’s blindside by WarnerMedia was, when the studio announced that Warner Bros’ entire 2021 slate would play HBO Max as the films open in theaters. Here is the note Whitesell sent to staff. The agency is heavily invested in the 2021 WB slate. Aside from repping Tenet’s Christopher Nolan, WME reps Gal Gadot on Wonder Woman 1984, The Little Things‘ stars Denzel Washington, Rami Malek and Jared Leto, Reminiscence‘s Hugh Jackman and Lisa Joy, as well as Millie Bobby Brown in Godzilla Vs Kong, and Lin-Manuel Miranda on In The Heights, among others.
