The moviemaking business is alive and well, and somehow giving several talents the greenlight in a 24-hour span. Ranked in order of interest, from best to good-enough:
The Hollywood Reporter reports (from Hollywood) that Lily Gladstone and Martin Scorsese will reunite via Charlie Kaufman: the latter has written The Memory Police, an adaptation of Yoko Ogawa’s acclaimed sci-fi novel which the Best Actress nominee will lead and Scorsese is executive-producing. Reed Morano (I Think We’re Alone Now) is taking directing duties on the film, somehow both Kafkaesque and Orwellian, as the official synopsis suggests:
On an unnamed island, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses. . . . Most of the inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few able to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten.

Nicole Kidman has signed up to work with Macbeth and Assassin’s Creed director Justin Kurzel on a particularly dark-sounding family drama called Mice. More here:
Justin Kurzel and Nicole Kidman are two of Australia’s greatest gifts to the world of cinema, so it’s exciting to learn that the duo will be teaming up to make Mice, a drama which follows the fortunes of a family dealing with the aftermath of a series of devastating events.
From 2015’s Macbeth through to 2021’s Nitram, Kurzel’s filmography largely continues to impress with each film he makes, and Kidman’s CV simply speaks for itself. Mice is based on Gordon Reece’s 2011 debut novel, and is said to follow a mother and daughter who ‘are pushed to their limits, confronting their moral convictions and the line between right and wrong in the face of bullying, violence and fear.’
