F1: The Movie raced into theaters this weekend, but director Joseph Kosinski is already looking beyond the finish line to his next project. The director, who began his career with Tron: Legacy and Oblivion, is returning to the science fiction realm for a new movie about Uap. He discussed the film with Collider's Perri Nemiroff while doing the interview rounds for F1.

The film will give Kosinski the welcome opportunity to work with a pair of past collaborators, and with experts in the field of anomalous phenomena:

"It's an opportunity to work with Jerry Bruckheimer again, and Apple, which has been incredible. The subject itself is fascinating. We're working with some people that are very close to that world that have given us some incredible insight into the topic and what's going on. We're working on it right now, and it is fascinating. It's one of those things I...

Bateman, who also directed the first two episodes, tells Tudum, “It’s really about these brothers who love each other but don’t match — one’s a screw-up, and the other is much more buttoned up. Everybody can...

Brad Pitt is the "greatest that never was" in the new trailer for F1. The upcoming sports movie serves as director Joseph Kosinski's follow-up to the billion-dollar Tom Cruise hit Top Gun: Maverick.

While Kosinski's F1 doesn't have Cruise in the driver's seat, the Top Gun follow-up movie has the next best, with fan-favorite A-lister Brad Pitt leading the ensemble cast as Sonny Hayes, "Formula 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career." Now, 30 years later, Sonny makes a living as a nomadic racer-for hire, that is, until "he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse," to come back to the highest class of worldwide racing for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world.

One of the most underrated movies of 2024 is storming Hulu's streaming charts. According to FlixPatrol, director Justin Kurzel's "The Order" was the second most streamed film on the service in the U.S. as of April 23, 2025, wedged between "American Idol" and "The Handmaid's Tale." Despite flying under the radar, the Zach Baylin-penned crime thriller boasts an impressive 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the movie for its performances and intense story.

"The Order" has Jude Law playing Terry Husk, an FBI agent tasked with bringing down a white supremacist organization that is connected to a series of car heists, bank robberies, counterfeiting scams, and bombings in the 1980s. The group, led by Bob Mathews (Nichols Hoult), is raising funds to overthrow the government and ignite a race war in the United States, and the FBI must (obviously) prevent that from happening.

If the acclaim for his...

“The Order” (2024) is a brooding investigative thriller that puts another feather in director Justin Kurzel’s cap. After the chilling character portraits in “Nitram” and “The Snowtown Murders,” Kurzel returns with an equally harrowing depiction of evil in human beings. This time, he shifts his focus toward a White Supremacist terrorist group that was active in the 1980s. He paints the picture of a small American town mainly through the eyes of an FBI agent, who ends up in a cat-and-mouse chase with the terrorist group’s members. Although the plot essentially leads us toward its leader’s capture, it is more interested in interrogating the human tendencies that affect the usual order of any place, and how people react in such situations of change.

Jacob Elordi and director Justin Kurzel spoke about making their new series, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North,” at a preview screening in Melbourne, Australia.

Adapted from Richard Flanagan’s Man Booker Prize–winning novel, “The Narrow Road to the Deep North” draws on his father’s experience as a prisoner of war in Burma during World War II. Director Justin Kurzel and screenwriter Shaun Grant adapted the novel into an emotionally charged five-part series for Amazon Prime Video in Australia. (Read IndieWire’s review here as we await distribution in North America.)

Spanning three decades, the story follows army surgeon Dorrigo Evans through a lovestruck youth, brutal captivity in a Japanese Pow camp, and the long shadow of memory in old age. Evans is played by Elordi in the 1940s and by Ciarán Hinds in the 1980s, as the older man reckons with the defining experiences of his youth.

Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer are looking to repeat the box office success they found with Top Gun: Maverick in their latest summer blockbuster, F1, but it looks like the filmmakers are teaming up once again. Kosinki and Bruckheimer's follow-up to the $1 billion-grossing Top Gun: Maverick, F1, is being produced by Apple and is set to be the studio's big summer tentpole alongside a co-distribution deal with Warner Bros. Despite a recent report that came out about how Apple Studios, through Apple TV+ and their theatrically released films, was losing money, the tech company is investing heavily in the creative team behind F1.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Apple made a deal worth "dozens of millions of dollars" to acquire a package for an untitled feature film from director Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy), producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean), and screenwriter Zach Baylin (King Richard). The film is described...

Apple Original Films has prevailed in a competitive situation and will reunite with its F1 and Top Gun: Maverick collaborators director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer on an untitled UFO-disclosure feature.

The filmmakers took the package to market in February and it is understood the deal positions Kosinski among the highest-earning directors. Bruckheimer and Chad Oman will produce for Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Kosinski produces for Monolith.

Zach Baylin, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter whose credits include King Richard and Creed III, will write the screenplay. David Grusch will serve as a consultant and associate producer on the project about Uaps...

After directing the legacy sequel Top Gun: Maverick for legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Joseph Kosinski went right back to work with Bruckheimer to make the Formula One racing film F1, which is scheduled to reach theatres on June 27th. Last month, we heard that Bruckheimer and Kosinski would be continuing their working relationship after sending F1 into the world by collaborating on a UFO disclosure-themed film that’s being compared to a UFO-themed take on the classic 1976 political thriller All the President’s Men. At the time, Apple Original Films was looking likely to come out the winner in the bidding war over the project – and now, The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Apple has indeed closed the deal, forking over “dozens of millions of dollars” for it. At one point, there were at least nine bids on the table, as Apple was competing with the likes of Amazon,...

Apple Films has landed an out-of-this-world new project – a UFO disclosure movie that reteams “F1” director Joseph Kosinski with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, working from a script by Zach Baylin.

According to the official release, the thriller “will explore disclosure around UAPs (formerly known as UFOs).” The currently untitled film will be produced by Bruckheimer and Chad Oman for Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Kosinski for Monolith. David Grusch will serve as a consultant and associate producer.

“F1,” from Kosinski and Bruckheimer, will debut in theaters this summer, thanks to a distribution deal with Warner Bros., before landing on Apple TV+ at a later date. The film stars Brad Pitt as a racecar driver who takes a hotshot young protégé under his wing (Damson Idris). The film also stars Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies and Javier Bardem and reunites much of the team behind Kosinski’s blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick,” including screenwriter Ehren Kruger,...

It may be a Hollywood era of uncertainty and contraction, but in some dealmaking situations, it is anything but.

In a pick up worth dozens of millions of dollars, Apple has closed a deal on the untitled hot package centered on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, formerly known as Unidentified Flying Objects. Joseph Kosinski is attached to direct and produce, with Zach Baylin on board to write the script. Veteran producer Jerry Bruckheimer is on board to produce as well.

The deal represents more than just a reteaming of Kosinski and Bruckheimer and Apple, who this summer are unveiling high-octane racing movie F1. It is one of the richest deals in quite some time, one that underscores a shift in the event movie landscape and shows that behind-the-scenes talent, in this case a new generation combined with a long-standing veteran, can command top market prices.

Sources say that Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Kosinski,...

Following Deadline’s scoop earlier this month that Apple Original Films was in talks for untitled UFO-disclosure package from Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer, the studio officially has confirmed it had closed a deal for the package. The film will reunite Kosinski and Bruckheimer, who worked together on Top Gun: Maverick and the upcoming F1.

To be written by Academy Award-nominee Zach Baylin, the untitled thriller will explore disclosure around UAPs (formerly known as UFOs). The film will be produced by Bruckheimer and Chad Oman for Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Kosinski for Monolith. David Grusch will serve as a consultant and associate producer on the project.

Hailing from Apple Studios, this marks the latest collaboration for Apple Original Films, Kosinski and Bruckheimer following the upcoming feature F1, starring Brad Pitt, hailing from director Joseph Kosinski’s Monolith, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films banner,...

Justin Kurzel’s new film The Order acts as a history lesson that remains as relevant as ever, at times too relevant, something that echoes today’s history before us. The film also acts as a sleek detective movie and a crisp action thriller, one the big screen has been missing.

The Order follows the true story of frightened communities throughout the Pacific Northwest America in 1983. Where a series of increasingly violent bank robberies, counterfeiting operations, and armoured car heists are tied to a group of dangerous white supremacists and domestic terrorists, inspired by a radical, charismatic leader (played by Nicholas Hoult). A leader that spreads his hateful, dangerous ideologies to his followers. Tasked with hunting down the...

Dubbed by some as “one of 2024’s most unnecessary remakes,” the new adaptation of The Crow has soared on the Starz streaming platform, dominating the chart to take the top spot several months after having its wings clipped at the box office.

The 1994 version of The Crow gained cult status not only for its haunting and dark story of love and death, but for the tragic circumstances surrounding star Brandon Lee’s untimely death. Fans bonded with the film’s blend of Gothic romance and vigilante action, and it is hard to argue that the atmosphere of the film was lightning in a bottle that could not be replicated in any subsequent sequels. Fast-forward three decades, and Hollywood made the unwelcome announcement that the film was getting a “reimagining” starring Bill Skarsgård.

Apple Original Films is in talks to buy an untitled high-concept UFO package that has “Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski directing and Jerry Bruckheimer producing, according to an insider with knowledge.

The script written by Zach Baylin is described as “a UFO disclosure-themed take on ‘All the President’s Men,’ the classic 1976 political thriller from Alan J. Pakula,” according to Deadline, which first reported the news. Baylin previously wrote the screenplay to the Oscar-winning drama “King Richard.”

Kosinski and Bruckheimer produced Brad Pitt-starrer “F1” at the streamer, which opens in theaters this June. Apple was able to land the package after it hit town last week after the streamer’s strong working relationship with both Kosinski and Bruckheimer producing on the Formula 1 film.

Update: Deadline reports that Apple Original Films looks likely to come out the winner in the bidding war over the Jerry Bruckheimer / Joseph Kosinski UFO disclosure project. Their sources say, “a big reason Apple ended up winning the bid was the strong relationship that grew out of the studio’s F1 movie that Kosinski directed and Bruckheimer produced. Insiders are very high on the film and were eager to work together again after the film finished production.“

Exclusive: The package market has been booming over the past couple weeks and here is another one that looks to have found its new home. Sources tell Deadline that Apple Original Films is in talks to land the untitled UFO package that has Joseph Kosinski directing and Jerry Bruckheimer producing. Zach Baylin penned the script, which is akin to a UFO disclosure-themed take on All the President’s Men, the classic 1976 political thriller from Alan J. Pakula.

The package hit the market last week with several bids coming in and sources say a big reason Apple ended up winning the bid was the strong relationship that grew out of the studio’s F1 movie that Kosinski directed and Bruckheimer produced. Insiders are very high on that film, which will bow in June, and were eager to work again after the film finished production.

Top Gun: Maverick and F1 director Joseph Kosinski and mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer are shopping a UFO conspiracy thriller, and studios are now in a bidding war. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the film is being pitched as similar to the classic movie All the President's Men, but with UFOs.

Meanwhile, the writer of the project is Zach Baylin, but no stars are attached. Interestingly, David Grusch is a consultant; he's the former Air Force Officer who testified before Congress in 2023 that the government studied UFOs and aliens and actively kept everything hidden from the public and media.

Whichever studio signs on will have to give the film a greenlight, meaning Kosinski and Bruckheimer don't want to spend years developing the film. Warner Bros., Paramount, Lionsgate, Amazon, Apple, and several others are bidding, so expect a deal to be struck soon. The pairing of Kosinski and Bruckheimer equals box office gold,...

An untitled UFO conspiracy thriller from Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski has ignited an out-of-this-world bidding war, THR reports.

Written by Zach Baylin, the package also includes legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Little is known about the plot, but it’s described as “All the President’s Men with UFOs.” No stars are attached and the budget range is unclear, but it is seeking a greenlight.

Part of the appeal is the veneer of authenticity to the pitch. Former United States Air Force officer David Grusch, who made headlines in 2023 when he testified before Congress that the government has been studying “non-human”spacecrafts and pilots, is said to be consulting on the project.

Amazon, Apple, Lionsgate, Paramount, and Warner Bros. are among the interested studios, with sources saying bidding is escalating “quickly and aggressively.”

Filmmaker Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are making another movie together. The duo is reteaming for an upcoming sci-fi movie described as a UFO disclosure-themed take on the 1976 political thriller All the President's Men.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kosinski will direct from a script by Zach Baylin — the Oscar-nominated screenwriter behind Creed III, The Order, and King Richard — with Bruckheimer producing. After their last collaboration, Paramount's legacy sequel Top Gun: Maverick, made over $1.4 billion at the box office, almost every studio wants in on Kosinski and Bruckheimer's next movie. This includes Amazon, Skydance, Lionsgate, Sony, 20th Century, Universal, Paramount, Apple, and Warner Bros., the latter two of which are set to distribute the duo's next movie, the forthcoming Formula 1 sports action film F1 this summer.

The project is bringing together an impressive team. Screenwriter Zach Baylin, known for his work on King Richard, Creed III, and The Order, has joined the creative force behind the film. The combination of Bruckheimer, Kosinski, and Baylin has studios like Amazon, Apple, Lionsgate, Paramount, and Warner Bros. eager to back the project. Sources say negotiations are moving “quickly and aggressively.”

Though details about the movie remain under wraps, the premise suggests a political thriller with UFO-related intrigue. Given the public’s growing fascination with extraterrestrial mysteries, the film’s concept has undeniable appeal.

Director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are finishing off F1 – and then moving onto a UFO movie.

If you can take a long-dormant action flick from almost four decades ago, remix some of the ingredients and produce a film that grosses nearly $1.5bn then you’re going to find yourself in demand. That’s precisely the spot that director Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer find themselves in right now.

Although Kosinski wasn’t quite able to fully reinvigorate the Tron franchise back in 2010 with Tron: Legacy the director teamed with Jerry Bruckheimer (who we spoke to last year) to put everything together in 2022 with Top Gun: Maverick. It involved reconfiguring the 1986 film’s best bits, adding in some incredible practical action sequences and getting the best out of Tom Cruise’s movie star persona. The result was the biggest hit of Tom Cruise’s career.

Following collaborations on smash hit Paramount sequel Top Gun: Maverick and the forthcoming Formula 1 pic F1 for Apple and Warner Bros, director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are eyeing a reteam on a hot new package out to the town.

We’re told that the as-yet-untitled project is akin to a UFO disclosure-themed take on All the President’s Men, the classic 1976 political thriller from Alan J. Pakula. At least nine bids for the project are in around town from suitors like Amazon, Skydance, Lionsgate, Sony, Warner Bros, Paramount, 20th, Apple and Universal.

Kosinski will direct from a script by Zach Baylin — the Oscar-nominated scribe behind The Order and King Richard — with Bruckheimer producing.

A movie project reuniting Jerry Bruckheimer and Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski is spurring interest that is out of this world.

A solar system’s worth of companies are vying for the package, that also includes scribe Zach Baylin, the writer whose credits include Will Smith’s King Richard, Creed III, and last year’s Jude Law white supremacist thriller The Order.

Amazon, Apple, Lionsgate, Paramount and Warner Bros. are among the studios in on the action, with sources saying the bidding is escalating “quickly and aggressively.”

Little is known about the piece, which is described as All the President’s Men with UFOs. The budget range is unclear but it is seeking a greenlight, per one source. No stars are currently attached.

Part of the appeal is the veneer of authenticity to the pitch. Former United States Air Force officer – and erstwhile UFO whistleblower – David Grusch is said...

It really is Nicholas Hoult’s time to shine. Having turned in stellar recent performances in Juror #2 and Nosferatu, he’s quietly terrifying as real-life 1980s white supremacist Bob Mathews in The Order, eerily sporting the same bowl haircut as he did aged 11 in About A Boy. Reuniting with his True History Of The Kelly Gang director Justin Kurzel, Hoult is totally convincing as the young neo-Nazi leader who is dangerously charismatic to his acolytes, fixing allies and enemies alike with his piercing gaze.

Mathews is up against Jude Law’s hard-bitten and gloriously moustachioed FBI agent Terry Husk. He’s certainly a hard-drinking husk of a man, convincing himself that his estranged wife and daughter will come back to him and that eliminating Mathews will silence his demons. Law and Hoult are brilliantly matched as the self-destructive adversaries who will each stop at nothing to achieve their ends, with...

The Last Showgirl

Film critic Carla Renata speaks with director Gia Coppola, writer Kate Gersten and actors Pamela Anderson and Brenda Song about their new film The Last Showgirl.

Exclusive: Early one morning up in Haddon Hall, a grand Tudor hall in Derbyshire, England, this corpulent, menacing-looking man swathed in a richly brocaded tunic trimmed with fur shuffled over to have a chat with filmmaker Karim Aïnouz and the Oscar-winning actor Alicia Vikander.

I had no idea who he was.

We were on the set of Firebrand, about Henry VIII’s marriage — his sixth and final one — to Katherine Parr.

Jude Law was supposed to join them. “Where is he?” I asked Gabby Tana, Firebrand’s producer.

“He’s in front of you talking to Karim,” Tana responded.

“That’s Jude Law?” I blurted.

“The Order” is a thriller movie starring Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, and Tye Sheridan. It is written by Zach Baylin, and directed by Justin Kurzel.

This cinematic tour de force, set against the backdrop of 1980s Pacific Northwest, plunges viewers into a harrowing world of violent bank heists and armored car robberies that sent shockwaves through the region.

At the heart of this gripping narrative lies a chilling truth: these aren’t your run-of-the-mill criminals, but a group of Aryan supremacists led by the charismatic and dangerous Bob Mathews, brilliantly portrayed by Nicholas Hoult. Their audacious goal? To finance an armed uprising against the U.S. government, a premise that sends shivers down the spine and keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

Enter FBI agent Terry Husk, brought to life by the ever-versatile Jude Law. As Husk delves deeper into the treacherous world of white supremacists, the film ratchets up the tension,...

Nicholas Hoult plays a wannabe far-right martyr, and Law and Tye Sheridan the feds on his tail, in a well-cast if anticlimactic true-crime tale

Justin Kurzel directs a workmanlike true-crime thriller about a real-life American white supremacist movement called the Order, which, in the 1980s, murdered Jewish radio journalist Alan Berg and pulled off bank robberies to fund a planned national insurrection. Its leader, Bob Mathews, sought a creepy martyrdom involving an Alamo-style standoff with federal agents at the group’s remote farmhouse in Washington state. Screenwriter Zach Baylin (Oscar-nominated for King Richard) adapts the book about the case, The Silent Brotherhood, by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt; Nicholas Hoult plays the baby-faced Mathews, with Jude Law and Tye Sheridan as the (fictional-composite) officers battling to take him down.

Kurzel contrives a solid, vehement film, with Law and Hoult proving to be interestingly cast; there are well-turned action sequences and...
