‘Rocky Mountain': A Line in the Sand and Stone
NR | 1h 23m | Adventure, Drama, Western | 1950
'Rocky Mountain' (1950), produced by Warner Bros., doesn't so much gallop as wander into view, looking slightly confused about what genre it belongs to. Director William Keighley is a journeyman more comfortable with wartime flag-waving than sagebrush grit.

Vampire Thriller ‘Sinners' Already Stakes Top Spot On Streaming Charts
Michael B Jordan in "Sinners." Warner Bros. Pictures Sinners — Ryan Coogler's blockbuster horror thriller starring Michael B. Jordan — is already a big hit on digital streaming. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners opened in theaters on April 18. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Coogler's Black Panther and Creed movie series collaborator Jordan stars in Sinners as twin brothers, Smoke and Stack. Rated R, Sinners also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Produced by Warner Bros., Sinners premiered on digital streaming via premium video on demand last Tuesday on such platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Movies Anywhere, Prime Video and YouTube. As of Sunday, Sinners is already the No. 1 top seller on Prime Video's streaming charts, ahead of Jack Black and Jason Momoa's A Minecraft Movie, which is another Warner Bros. release. Figures for the actual number of purchases or rentals on the Prime Video charts, however, are not available. Also as of this publication, Sinners is in the top spot of Fandango at Home's Top 200 chart and is trending at No. 1 on Movies Anywhere. While Sinners is available on digital streaming, the film is still attracting audiences in theaters. Sinners is projected by Deadline to earn $2.8 million from 1,518 theaters through Sunday, which will boost the film's domestic gross to $272.5 million in its eighth week of release. Combined with the film's $82.6 million in international ticket sales, Sinners has a worldwide tally of $353.1 million to date against a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising costs, per The Numbers. While Sinners has become a blockbuster hit, Ryan Coogler said in a recent interview with Ebony Magazine that he's never given thought to making a sequel to the film. 'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,' Coogler told Ebony. 'I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.' Instead, Coogler added, he 'wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there. 'I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing. That was how I was asked all about it,' Coogler explained to Ebony. 'That was always my intention.' Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, is still playing in theaters and available for purchase or rent on PVOD.

Report: Ben Stiller May Bring ‘The Twilight Zone' Back to Movies
It's been years since Paramount+'s TV reboot of The Twilight Zone quietly ended, but the anthology series may be coming back to the big screen. Per Jeff Sneider, Warner Bros., which holds film rights for the franchise, is looking at Severance executive producer and lead director Ben Stiller to direct a new film. Various creatives have tried at it over the years, including Matt Reeves and Joseph Kosinski. But according to Sneider, Stiller may be the guy WB and Applain Way have needed to finally get the ball rolling on this film. The actor-director is a fan of the anthology show and previously cited it as an influence on Severance, up to and including a season two episode named after Twilight's 1960 episode 'The After Hours.' The 1983 Twilight Zone movie had four segments, but this new film will reportedly just have one. Sneider claims one source told him the story would be supernatural and center on a fighter pilot assigned to a rocket that achieves time travel, which delivers him to a utopia 125 years in the future. The reporter stressed this could easily change: while Stiller's allegedly been on board for 'roughly six months,' it remains an open writing assignment (OWA), meaning any screenwriter could come on board and run with that premise or propose their own new take. Sneider also acknowledged that if Stiller is directing this movie, it'll be a ways out. Along with the third season of Severance, he's starring in a fourth Fockers movie due holiday 2026 and directing the 1970s crime drama Bag Man. Still, we'll report more on this potential Twilight Zone movie as news about it comes out.
