The crime comedy "L'innocent" (The Innocent) by Louis Garrel and the film "Night of the 12th." about a woman murder by French director Dominik Moll are favorites for the French César Film Awards, which will be presented on February 24th. "L'Innocent tells the story of a 60-year-old who, to the horror of her son, falls in love with an imprisoned thug. A film release in Germany is not yet planned.

"In the night of the 12th", which has already started in Germany, traces the investigations into the case of a brutal murder of a woman. The two films lead the Césars with eleven and ten nominations, respectively, followed by Cédric Klapisch's film "Life is a Dance", about a ballet dancer who turns to modern dance after an injury.

Among those in the running for the Best Actress award are Fanny Ardant in the film "Les jeunes amants" (The Young Lovers) and Juliette Binoche in the film "Just like in real life". Mentioned among her male colleagues are Jean Dujardin in "Novembre" and Louis Garrel for the film "L'innocent", in which he both directs and plays one of the leading roles.

The nearly 5,000 members of the César Academy now have one month to rate the films. Last year, the historical drama "Lost Illusions" by director Xavier Giannoli was awarded best film.

In early 2020, filmmaker Roman Polanski's award for best director plunged the César Academy into a deep crisis because several women accused Polanski of rape. The old academy leadership then resigned - also because many members complained about cheating.

In September 2020, an equal dual leadership was elected. The French film prize is named after artist César Baldaccini, known for his squashed cars. The film awards trophy is a bronze statue depicting compressed furniture decorations.

Alex Wolff has joined the cast of 'A Quiet Place: Day One'.

The 25-year-old actor will partner with 'Pig' director Michael Sarnoski in the spin-off prequel to the 'A Quiet Place' film franchise.

Wolff will star in the project alongside stars Lupita Nyong'o and Joseph Quinn. Plot details are still under wraps at this time, but the previous two films in the series are set in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind monsters with highly sensitive hearing and a family silently struggling to survive.

Sarnoski is set to direct 'A Quiet Place: Day One' from a script by Jeff Nichols based on an original idea by John Krasinski. Michael Bay, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will produce the thrilling flick alongside Krasinski for his Sunday Night banner for Platinum Dunes.

  The film hits theaters in March 2024, with the hope that the project will create an 'A Quiet Place' universe to explore further for years to come. A third film in the original franchise is in development, which will see Krasinski returning as director and is slated for release in 2025. John previously worked on the horror series with his wife Emily Blunt and joked that he jeopardized his marriage with the challenging stunts in the sequel 'A Quiet Place: Part II'.

US actor Austin Butler has been awarded the Golden Globe film prize for his portrayal of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley. The 31-year-old was honored at the awards ceremony on Tuesday evening (local time) in Los Angeles for his role in "Elvis" as the best male actor in a drama.

The award for Best Male Role in a Comedy went to Colin Farrell. The Irishman was recognized for his performance in 'The Banshees of Inisherin,' a film about two friends on a remote Irish island. The Golden Globe for Best Female Actress in a Comedy went to Michelle Yeoh for her role in Everything Everyone All at Once, a science fiction film about parallel universes.

Other Golden Globes have not yet been awarded, including the one for the best films. The presentation of the Golden Globes marks the annual start of the award ceremonies in the international film business. The awards are presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

Last year, the ceremony was not televised due to allegations of a lack of diversity and allegations of corruption. After the HFPA subsequently enrolled more than a hundred non-white members, NBC broadcast the Golden Globes again this year.

Los Angeles (AP) - US actor Jeremy Renner ("Avengers: Endgame", "Arrival") addressed his fans two days after a serious accident while clearing snow.

Renner posted a photo from the hospital bed on Tuesday afternoon (local time) on Instagram showing him with tubes in his nose, a black eye and abrasions on his face. Renner thanked in a short text for the many recovery wishes. He was "too messed up" to type, but he wanted to send "love" to everyone.

Numerous fans and colleagues, including Chris Pratt, Orlando Bloom, Chris Hemsworth, Penélope Cruz and Isla Fisher, wished a speedy recovery on Instagram. "Speedy recovery", with a heart emoji, wished model and TV presenter Heidi Klum.

According to the police in Washoe County (US state Nevada), Renner was run over by his own snow plow on New Year's Day. Sheriff Darin Balaam spoke of a "tragic accident" at a press conference on Tuesday.

After heavy snowfall in the mountainous region near Lake Tahoe, a Renner family member got stuck in a car on a private road. The actor freed the vehicle from the snow masses with his snow plow. Then he got out, but the heavy device started moving again. The accident happened when trying to get back into the driver's seat, Balaam said. The investigation would still be ongoing.

Renner was taken to a nearby clinic by helicopter. He suffered a "blunt trauma" in the chest area and "orthopedic injuries," said his team of spokesmen on Monday, according to media reports. His condition was described as critical but stable. After an operation, he was treated in the intensive care unit, it said.

Renner, father of a nine-year-old daughter, played in the superhero series "Avengers" and in two "Mission: Impossible" films. He was nominated for an Oscar in 2010 for his leading role in the war drama The Hurt Locker. He received a second nomination a year later for his supporting role in Ben Affleck's action thriller The Town.

James Cameron revealed that he would "mourn some of the stories" he didn't get to film.

The legendary director has devoted most of his work to the 'Avatar' franchise and has developed four sequels to the films, two of which have already been filmed.

And while other projects took a backseat, the 'Titanic' filmmaker was able to weave many of the stories into the world of Avatar. When asked if he felt bad about never being able to tell the other stories and ideas he had because he spent so much time on the 'Avatar' franchise, Cameron explained in an interview with the ' Empire' Magazine: "I have two thoughts in response to your question: The first is that the world of Avatar is so expansive that I can tell most of the stories I want to tell in it and try out many of the stylistic techniques that I hope to explore in this way.

And second, yes... our time as artists is finite. I'll always mourn some of the stories I can't do, but I feel a great satisfaction when other directors want to explore some of my ideas, like Kathryn Bigelow did with Strange Days, and Robert Rodriguez did when I handed him the baton on Alita: Battle Angel."
