Underdog opens the Tokyo International Film Festival, which starts Saturday, Oct. 31, 2020. (2020 UNDERDOG FILM PARTNERS via AP)TOKYO โ€“ Masaharu Takeโ€™s films have always focused on painful stories about Japan's โ€œunder-class,โ€ people who are often overlooked in a nation stereotyped as monolithically well-to-do. The heroes of his latest work, โ€œUnderdog,โ€ couldnโ€™t be more beaten down, stoically hardworking yet hopelessly under-class: They are boxers. โ€œUnderdogโ€ premieres as the opener for the Tokyo International Film Festival, which starts Saturday and runs through Nov. 9.

Coppola and Henson companies get loans for winery, puppetry

A statue of Kermit The Frog stands at the entrance to The Jim Henson Company, Tuesday, July 7, 2020, in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. The U.S. government's small business lending program sent pandemic relief money into unexpected corners of the entertainment industry. The Muppet makers say they received about $2 million to keep their 75 workers employed through the coronavirus shutdown. While legendary names like Francis Ford Coppola and Jim Henson hardly evoke the image of small business, the leaders of modestly sized companies that bear their names say the funds have been essential to keeping ordinary workers afloat during the coronavirus pandemic. The Jim Henson Co. employs about 75 people, company spokeswoman Nicole Goldman said in a statement.

In a win for the world, โ€˜Parasiteโ€™ takes best picture Oscar

LOS ANGELES โ€“ Subtitle this: โ€œParasiteโ€ is the first non-English language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards. Bong Joon Hoโ€™s masterfully devious class satire took Hollywoodโ€™s top prize at the Oscars on Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay. In winning best adapted screenplay for his Nazi satire โ€œJojo Rabbit,โ€ the New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi became the first indigenous director ever to win an Oscar. โ€œJokerโ€ composer Hildur Gudnadottir became only the third woman to ever win best original score. After a year in which women made significant gains behind the camera, no female directors were nominated for best director.

Female directors shut out of 2020 Oscar nominations

The slate of 2020 Oscar contenders for the directing prize were Martin Scorsese ("The Irishman"), Todd Phillips ("Joker"), Sam Mendes ("1917"), Quentin Tarantino ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood") and Bong Joon Ho ("Parasite"), five incredibly talented male directors. Scorsese, Mendes and Tarantino are highly regarded in the industry, but the lack of female directors has been a sore spot for many in recent years. This year, several female directors could have snagged a nomination. Gerwig, whose "Little Women" received six nods, was a top contender heading into the nominations. Wang's "The Farewell," which scored numerous nominations at the Golden Globes and led to an acting award for star Awkwafina, was shut out from all Oscar categories.

Netflix hit 'The Irishman' marks a turning point for how Oscar-caliber movies are distributed, and could speed the demise of movie theaters

We've hit a turning point: Oscar-worthy movies are coming to your living room nearly as quickly as they arrive in theaters. A year after showcasing Best Picture-nominated "Roma," Netflix has made "The Irishman" and "Marriage Story" available to subscribers in November and December around the same time they hit movie theaters in preparation for awards season. "The Irishman" is the latest gangster movie from director Martin Scorsese, featuring veteran actors Joe Pesce, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. The actual number of viewers is probably even higher, as each subscriber represents an account, not a single person, and people often watch movies in a group. It's also terrible news for movie theaters.

Ed Norton on Martin Scorsese's critique of Hollywood: It was a 'Valentine to my film'

Some big names in Hollywood, however, supported Scorsese's original comments, while others vehemently disagreed. Ed Norton, the writer, director and actor of the upcoming "Motherless Brooklyn," falls squarely in between. "It was almost a Valentine to my film," Norton said told CNBC on Wednesday regarding Scorcese's op-ed.

'Irishman' tests 'cinema' label while courting Oscar voters

(CNN) - Martin Scorsese caused a stir when he said that Marvel movies are "not cinema," arguing that huge comic-book franchises are more theme-park attractions than an attempt to convey "emotional, psychological experiences." While theatrical windows are intended to appease filmmakers and hard-core movie fans, Netflix doesn't discuss box office. "Once you commit to a television format, you're a TV movie," Spielberg said in a 2018 interview with ITV News. Studios have a long history of imposing their wills on talent, but by getting into bed with Netflix, Scorsese has seemingly traded in one master for another, just with slightly different priorities. "The Irishman" is playing in select theaters and premieres Nov. 27 on Netflix.

Al Pacino follows this mantra on every acting job

Pacino was sat beside fellow Hollywood legend Robert De Niro, who he has reunited with for Martin Scorsese's mob epic "The Irishman," out this month. Reflecting on his career, De Niro said that while acting was "different" after all this time, he still liked it "just as much." Pacino said he met De Niro in 1968 and they then "connected from time to time," finding they had shared similar experiences. The "Irishman" is actually the first Scorsese film which Pacino has starred in, despite both having worked with De Niro a number of times.

Scorsese pushed for "a robust national theatrical release" for "The Irishman," according to the New York Times.

In the new trailer Sheeran is seen being questioned by his attorney Bill Bufalino, played by Ray Romano, which allows for some flashbacks on his murderous deeds. The Netflix film reunites director Scorsese with frequent collaborators De Niro and Pesci who have all worked together on various projects, including the iconic mob film "Goodfellas."
