Quick News: Ritchie, Michael, Lestat, Resurrection

AMC

Guy Ritchie
Black Bear Pictures owner Teddy Schwarzman responded only with “no comment” twice when asked about two already shot Guy Ritchie-directed films – the Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal-led “In the Grey” shot back in 2023, and the Benedict Cumberbatch and Rosamund Pike-led film “Wife & Dog” shot earlier this year.

The fate of both movies appears to be in limbo right now, with neither film locked for a release date. At last report, Black Bear is selling the film. [Source: Deadline]

The Vampire Lestat
AMC has premiered a new TV promo teaser for “The Vampire Lestat,” the upcoming third season of its “Interview with the Vampire” novel series adaptation. The brief 30-second teaser sees Lestat (Sam Reid) showing off rockstar diva behavior during an interview setup. The acclaimed show returns in 2026.

Resurrection
Janus Films has released the trailer for “Resurrection,” the new era-spanning sci-fi film from “Long Day’s Journey Into Night” director Bi Gan. The film opens in cinemas in New York & Los Angeles on December 12th.

In a future where humanity has surrendered its ability to dream in exchange for immortality, an outcast (Jackson Yee) finds illusion, nightmarish visions, and beauty in an intoxicating world of his own making.
