Is space ample enough to withstand the power of two of Hollywood’s brightest stars? We’re about to find out when Oscar-nominated actress Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall) co-stars alongside Ryan Gosling for the upcoming interstellar epic Project Hail Mary. The feature-length project hails from Amazon MGM Studios, with Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Aditya Sood producing.
Lord and Miller will direct Project Hail Mary from a script by Drew Goddard. The film will be shot in IMAX and released wide on March 20, 2026. It is based on the Andy Weir novel of the same name—that’s right, the same guy who wrote The Martian. According to Deadline‘s exclusive report, the plot revolves around “a middle school science teacher, Ryland Grace (Gosling), who wakes up on a spaceship with no memory of who he is or how he got there.

Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall chaotically drops us into the chalet of Sandra (Sandra Hüller), Samuel (Samuel Theis), and their visually impaired young son, Daniel (Milo Machado Graner), in the French Alps. Sandra, a successful German writer, is in the midst of an interview with a visiting journalist (Camille Rutherford) that an unseen Samuel attempts to derail with his ceaseless blaring of an instrumental cover of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P.” from his upstairs office. Once her husband has succeeded at his mission, Sandra sends the journalist home before going upstairs to work herself. Not too long after, Samuel is found dead outside the house by Daniel, who had been walking around the property with the family dog.
As its title suggests, that series of events will be thoroughly dissected over Anatomy of a Fall’s runtime, first at the home and then in the courtroom. Did Samuel’s frequent...

After Blue (Bertrand Mandico)
In the post-apocalyptic nightmare of After Blue, humanity—or what’s left of it—roams a former paradise turned wasteland. The Armageddon that wrecked the Earth in some undetermined past left no machines behind, no screens, and, perhaps most conspicuously, no men. In the distant planet the human race fled to, and which writer-director Bertrand Mandico’s film is named after, “they were the first to die,” we’re warned early on: “their hairs grew inside them, and killed them.” As it was for its predecessor, The Wild Boys, After Blue is suffused in a feverish ecstasy, that wild excitement that comes from a watching one world crumble and another jutting into being from scratch, a vision of...

Anatomy of a Fall actress Sandra Hüller could be making a roast for Akiva Schaffer’s The Naked Gun reboot, so how hot and wet do you like it? A report from industry insider Daniel Richtman says Sandra Hüller is in talks to play the romantic lead in the forthcoming comedy, starring Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr., the son of Leslie Nielsen’s Lt. Frank Drebin from the Police Squad series and Naked Gun film trilogy.
In the Naked Gun trilogy, Lt. Frank Drebin falls in love with Jane Spencer (Lisa Marie Presley), an assistant for industrialist Vincent Ludwig, utterly unaware of his villainy. After a slapstick-ridden meet-cute, Frank and Jane form a heated courtship accompanied by steamy home-cooked meals, ultra-protected sex, and trips to the baseball field.

French legal drama Anatomy of a Fall‘s against-the-odds global box office run isn’t over just yet. The acclaimed courtroom thriller, which won the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or in 2023 and the Oscar for best original screenplay last week, has secured a nationwide theatrical release date in China on March 29.
Chinese specialty distributor Road Pictures will handle the local marketing and release of Anatomy of a Fall in partnership with the state-backed China Film Group. The film’s writer and director Justine Triet will attend a local premiere event in Beijing on March 24.
Anatomy of a Fall is being positioned as a specialty release, but its feminist themes could align well with a recent trend of women-focused stories being a major box office force in China.

2024 Oscar Snubs: Killers of the Flower Moon & Maestro ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
The 2024 Oscar saw Oppenheimer bag seven awards, including Best Director, Best Actor and Best Picture. Poor Things won four awards at the Academy this year. However, there were some big 2023 movies that either won just one or not even a single award. Like every year, we witnessed again how some movies, directors or actors’ work got completely unrecognised.
From Robert De Niro’s Killers of the Flower Moon to Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, many famous films were brutally ignored at the 2024 Oscar ceremony. We have listed several such movies that were nominated in different categories, but got snubbed by the Academy.

Crank up that steel drum cover of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P”! “Anatomy of a Fall” has scored the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Director Justine Triet and her husband and co-writer Arthur Harari took the stage at the Dolby Theater on March 10 to accept the trophy.
In winning the award, Triet and Harari beat out several other Best Picture nominees to claim the top prize. Also nominated in the category were David Hemingson for “The Holdovers,” Bradley Cooper and Josh Singer for “Maestro,” and Celine Song for “Past Lives.” The sole non-Best Picture nominee recognized in the category was “May December,” which received its sole Oscar nomination for Samy Burch’s script.
The Original Screenplay Oscar is the latest award that Triet’s courtroom drama received during the past Awards season. Triet and Harari won in the same category at the British Academy Film Awards, the Golden Globes, and the French César Awards.

Anatomy of a Fall.Anatomy of a Fall (2023) begins with a black screen and an auditory fragment: a short exchange between writer Sandra Voyter (Sandra Hüller) and a young student who’s come to interview her about her career. When the film’s image and sound come into sync, both of them realize that the student’s phone has failed to record their conversation. Reality, seemingly, starts only when the “record” button has been pressed.We never see the titular fall in Justine Triet’s courtroom drama, only a corpse. The moment when Sandra’s husband, Samuel Maleski (Samuel Theis), plunges to his death from the attic of their chalet is presented only in simulations, both speculative flashbacks based on courtroom testimony and technical reenactments from expert witnesses. Though a trial is ostensibly a search for the truth, Triet's film is a metacinematic treatise on epistemology, showing only so much...

The creative process can sometimes be highly organized, and others completely ephemeral: for every story that’s been mapped out beat by beat there’s another that arrived completely intact from a writer’s fingers in a feverish outpouring of inspiration. Somewhere in between these extremes is the unglamorous, frequently tedious work of chipping away at an idea, a sequence, or line of dialogue that gets to the heart of what a scribe wants to say — or more precisely, hopes to communicate.
Ahead of the Academy Awards on March 10, Variety spoke with several of the screenwriters nominated in the categories of original and animated screenplay about the scenes they found most difficult to write. Whether it was identifying the kernel of an idea from which the rest of their narrative popped or translating the inspiration of source material (or real life) to something dramatically credible on the page, they explain...

Anatomy of a Fall French producer Marie-Ange Luciani put in a flying appearance at the Berlinale this week with Claire Burger’s coming-of-age drama Langue Étrangère which received a warm reception in competition.
With the Berlin premiere taking place the day after the Baftas in London (where Anatomy of a Fall won Best Screenplay) and eight days before the January 27 voting deadline for this year’s Academy Awards, Luciani was also in the thick of the awards campaign.
She co-produced the Oscar hopeful with David Thion at Les Films Pelléas under the banner of her Paris-based banner Les Films de Pierre, the company created by Yves Saint Laurent’s long-time business and life partner Pierre Bergé which she acquired on his death in 2018.

From the moment editor Laurent Sénéchal read the script for Anatomy of a Fall, he knew he had a challenge ahead of him when it came to the crucial flashback showing a drag-out fight between Sandra (Sandra Hüller), an author on trial, and her husband, Samuel (Samuel Theis), who fell to his death off the roof of their Alpine home.
The scene arrives in the middle of Sandra’s trial over her role in Samuel’s plummet. What begins as just audio played for the courtroom is eventually brought to life for the audience watching the film. “When I was reading, I didn’t really know what would be the point of view,” Sénéchal says. “It’s like the point of view of God. For me, it was a bit tricky.”

When real-life couple Justine Triet and Arthur Harari set out to write Anatomy of a Fall, about a woman on trial for the murder of her husband, they built the story on relationships first and foremost.
“The first embryo was the relationship between the son and the mother and the idea of the son discovering he doesn’t really know who his mother is,” Harari said during a panel Saturday at Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees event. “And then the possibility of talking in a very deep and true way: What is a couple?”
In the Palme d’Or-winning film directed by Triet, Sandra Hüller stars as Sandra Voyter, a writer whose husband Samuel (Samuel Theis) has died after falling off the balcony of their home in the French Alps.

With film distributors becoming stingier about physical media and defaulting to streaming, The Criterion Collection has been picking up slack. For instance, Criterion has released physical copies of acclaimed Netflix originals like "The Irishman," "Roma," and "Marriage Story."
Joining the collection in May 2024 is Justine Triet's "Anatomy of a Fall," just released in North America back in October 2023 by Neon. As Criterion confirmed on Twitter, the film enters the collection alongside classics such as Michael Powell's "Peeping Tom."
Does "Anatomy of a Fall" deserve to be in such company? We at /Film think so, since we ranked it one of the 15 best movies of 2023. If you don't believe us, it won the Palme d'Or at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival (the highest prize), and it's up for several Oscars at the 96th Academy Awards (including Best Picture and Best Director for Justine Triet).

But for Messi, who starred as Snoop in “Anatomy of a Fall,” getting to enjoy Venice Beach — as well as a business class trip to the Oscars nominee luncheon and lots of quality pets from Bradley Cooper and Billie Eilish — is the culmination of months of hard work with his trainer, Laura Martin Contini.
Every time we see a dog in a film, the goal is for them to look like they’re just doing their own doggy thing and responding to the characters in a genuine way; how could dogs not? But each action, from lying down to running after a ball (Messi’s favorite), requires specific preparation so that the canine actor is ready for their closeup.

Four of the editors — Laurent Sénéchal (“Anatomy of Fall”), Kevin Tent (“The Holdovers”), Jennifer Lame (“Oppenheimer“), and Yorgos Mavropsaridis (“Poor Things”) — selected a pivotal scene or sequence that best showcases their work, telling IndieWire how the scenes explore rhythm and pace, character importance, and why it was so challenging to get right.
In Justine Triet’s gripping murder mystery, “Anatomy of a Fall,” Sénéchal delicately balances point of view through memory and imagination, as Best Actress nominee Sandra Hüller stands trial for the murder of her husband.

In her first Palm d’Or-winning feature film, Anatomy of a Fall, Justin Triet, like an expert surgeon wielding a scalpel, skillfully peels back the layers of this seemingly stable relationship, revealing concealed wounds and smoldering resentments that have festered beneath the surface for years. The once-intact facade of marital bliss crumbles as the protagonist Sandra (Sandra Hüller) navigates through the emotionally charged terrain of a relationship in turmoil. Triet’s narrative approach delicately dissects the intricacies of the characters’ emotions, laying bare the layers of suppressed anger and aggression that have built up over time. The film becomes a poignant exploration of the fragile equilibrium that exists between understanding and compromise in a long-term relationship. The thin bridge upon which the characters tread precariously reveals the delicate balance that has held the union together, even as the weight of unresolved issues threatens to tip the scales. Set against the...

This article contains major Anatomy of a Fall spoilers.
Justine Triet’s new film, which just picked up nominations for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Director at the Oscars, as well as the Palme d’Or at Cannes last year, is a courtroom drama following a woman accused of killing her husband. The man in question was found dead after falling out of the window of their remote cabin. There were no witnesses. She says she didn’t do it. Did he fall? Did he jump? Or is she guilty? That’s for the court to decide in this fascinating character study that feels intense and real, and challenges the audience to do the work along with the jury.
The beauty of Anatomy of a Fall is that by the end we, the audience, don’t know conclusively whether Sandra (Sandra Hüller – who is nominated for the Best Actress Oscar...

The Oscars, it seems, agree with The Hollywood Reporter: Sandra Hüller is a star.
When THR put the German actress on its cover for its Toronto Film Festival issue, it was under the headline “Actress of the Year?” It was an acknowledgment that Hüller had given two of the most outstanding performances in film in 2023: as a novelist accused of murder in Justine Triet’s mystery thriller Anatomy of a Fall and as a domestic Nazi in Jonathan Glazer’s Holocaust drama The Zone of Interest.
On Tuesday, Hüller scored a nomination for the 2024 Oscars in the best actress category for Anatomy of a Fall. Both Anatomy of a Fall and The Zone of Interest were also nominated in the best picture and best director categories.

Has #MeToo Finally Arrived in France?
Watershed: The past week has felt like a watershed moment for the #MeToo movement in France. The country’s film industry has been at the forefront of efforts to foster gender parity thanks to pioneering activist group Le Collectif 50/50 and initiatives such as the festival charter, along with extra state funding for movies hiring women for key crew positions. However, a culture of silence around allegations of sexual abuse by big figures such as Roman Polanski and Gérard Depardieu has long been a source of debate and consternation in and outside of the country. There are signs that a major shift is underway following a bombshell...

A decade ago, Gerard Depardieu played a character inspired by Dominique Strauss-Kahn — the disgraced former head of the International Monetary Fund who was accused of assaulting a hotel maid — in Abel Ferrara’s “Welcome to New York.” In an ironic twist, the iconic French actor has now become the poster boy for the country’s #MeToo movement, having been charged with rape and faced with over a dozen sexual assault allegations.
But the French remain divided over him due to his profile as a mascot of the country’s cinematic history. He’s starred in over 150 films, including classics such as Jean-Paul Rappeneau’s “Cyrano de Bergerac,” François Truffaut’s “Le Dernier Metro” and Bertrand Blier’s “Going Places.” However, the tide is starting to shift — while French President Emmanuel Macron refused to revoke his Legion of Honor, the Paris wax museum went ahead and removed his statue on Dec.

Samuel Theis has been accused of rape by a crew member who worked on his upcoming movie Je te jure, which he directed.
The 45-year-old actor and filmmaker is best known for his performance in the new movie Anatomy of a Fall, which just won two awards at the Golden Globes.
Samuel plays the husband of Sandra Huller‘s character in the movie.
French newspaper Liberation reported that a male crew member accused Samuel of rape during a cast and crew party that took place at an apartment halfway through the shoot of Je te jure. The anonymous crew member says that he stayed at the apartment as he was inebriated and he claims that Samuel raped him in the early morning hours.
Samuel claims that the encounter was consensual.
Instead of being fired from the project, producers figured out a way for Samuel to continue directing the movie without being in the room.

French actor-director Samuel Theis, best known for starring in Justine Triet’s awards season favorite Anatomy of a Fall, has been accused of rape by a crew member on Je te jure (I Swear), Theis’ latest directorial feature.
The French newspaper Libération broke the story and reported that the alleged assault took place last year at a party held in an apartment rented by the production where the crew member said they were too inebriated to consent to a sexual encounter with Theis.
Theis responded to Libération’s report, telling the newspaper that the encounter was consensual. His lawyer added in response that his client has not been charged or contacted by authorities. The newspaper reported that the crew member quit the production immediately after the alleged assault.

Samuel Theis, a French actor-director known for starring in this year’s “Anatomy of a Fall” as the husband to Sandra Hüller’s character, has been accused of sexual assault by a crew member on his new film, a French production called “Je le jure” (“I Swear”).
According to a report in Libération from January 5 (via Screen Daily), the crew member accused Theis of raping him at a party last summer when the alleged victim was too drunk to consent. The alleged incident took place in Metz, France at an apartment rented for the production.
Theis told the publication the encounter was consensual, and his lawyer told Libération he has not been charged with any crime to date. The crew member quit the production immediately after the alleged assault.

Samuel Theis, who played the husband of Sandra Hüller’s character in Justine Triet’s Golden Globe-winning film “Anatomy of a Fall,” was ousted from the shoot of his third directorial outing, “Je te jure,” after being accused of rape by a crew member, Variety has confirmed. For the remainder of production, Theis remained on location but directed the film remotely.
The alleged sexual assault took place halfway through the shoot, in the aftermath of a party held at an apartment with the cast and crew on July 1, according to the French newspaper Liberation. The crew member spent the night in the flat where the party was held due to his state of inebriation and alleged he was raped by Theis in the early morning hours.

No actor has had a bigger breakout year in the awards circuit than Sandra Hüller, who has spent her 25-year career in European cinema, with prestige films such as “Requiem” (2006), “In the Aisles” (2018) and the Oscar-nominated “Toni Erdmann” (2016). This year, the German actress stars in two of the biggest international awards contenders: Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” from the United Kingdom and Poland, and Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or-winning “Anatomy of a Fall” from France, the latter of which she is nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Film Drama Actress. Will she clinch the first major precursor award of the season on Sunday, January 7?
This is Hüller’s second collaboration with Triet, previously starring in her 2019 film “Sibyl.” In “Anatomy of a Fall,” she plays Sandra Voyter, a woman accused of murdering her husband, and trying to prove her innocence as she is put on trial.

Anatomy of a Fall (Justin Triet)
The ensuing days after a romantic breakup, even if it isn’t a cataclysmic one, are an uncanny time. Perhaps once the spell of verbal conflict and sparring’s ceased, suddenly your sole companion for the most intimate thoughts is yourself once again, but it’s an opportune moment for contemplation: how did it really go wrong? Or, can I be honest with myself and acknowledge my own partial responsibility for its demise? For Sandra (Sandra Hüller) and Samuel (Samuel Theis), the key onscreen and offscreen players in Anatomy of a Fall, are enduring this quagmire, although their inevitable breakup was enforced––the latter has just tragically died. – David K.

A tantalising screenplay keeps the audience guessing in Justine Triet’s gripping French drama in which superb lead actor Sandra Hüller plays a woman suspected of her husband’s murder
To fully understand a marriage you need to be a part of it. And even then it can seem as if the two partners are communicating in entirely different languages. This is literally the case in the marriage of successful German-born author Sandra (a phenomenal Sandra Hüller) and her French husband, aspiring writer Samuel (Samuel Theis), a union that is forensically and microscopically examined in Justine Triet’s gripping, sinuous, Cannes Palme d’Or-winning courtroom drama Anatomy of a Fall. Language – Sandra prefers to speak in English even though, at her husband’s behest, they live in France – is just one of the flashpoints for tension between the two.
These tensions might have just simmered on privately and indefinitely, within...

Things stick in your mind as you watch this slowburn drama from Justine Triet. One of them is the The Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band's version of 50 Cent's P.I.M.P., which rings through the opening, discomfiting sequence and is later reprised in the more austere setting of the French courtroom, where author Sandra Voyter (Sandra Hüller) finds herself accused of killing her husband Samuel (Samuel Theis). Samuel is pumping the track out at high volume from the roof space of their Alpine chalet as a way of disrupting the interview his wife is conducting with a journalist downstairs.
Another image that stays with you is that which confronts Sandra and Samuel's son Daniel (Milo Machado Graner) as he returns from walking the family dog Snoop. He is visually impaired so can't see the full horror of his father lying prone on the snow with a head wound - the music still blaring from.

Anatomy Of A Fall begins with a deadly fall but another kind of fall is much of the fascinating, emotionally searing story, starring Sandra Huller, who was so outstanding in Toni Erdman. Huller plays Sandra, the German wife of a French man, Samuel (Samuel Theis) who is killed in a deadly fall from an upper level of their remote Alpine chalet home, a fall that quickly becomes suspicious, with circumstances pointing to the wife. The couple have a son who may or may not be a witness to what happened – if there is indeed a crime. Questions and doubts abound in this excellent drama.

The broad beats of a courtroom drama are simple and finite; any procedural fan would know. And French film “Anatomy of a Fall” has everything you would expect from a taut crime thriller: a mystery that runs deeper than our initial understanding, cops trying to prove different theories, warring lawyers in the courtroom, a piece of new evidence that throws the case into confusion, a major scene on the witness stand. But the film does not approach those moments in an expected fashion, neither emotionally nor formally. Director Justine Triet is more interested in pushing back on genre tropes wherever she can to create a messier, but more involving, picture of the many narratives we use to explain a fall.
The titular fall — and possible murder — is of frustrated writer and stay-at-home dad Samuel (Samuel Theis). The main suspect is his wife, a successful author named Sandra (Sandra Hüller). “Anatomy of a Fall...

In Sibyl, Sandra Hüller appears at the midway point for a scene-stealing role as a director attempting (and failing) to prevent a love triangle between her two leads from derailing her movie. This performance so impressed Justine Triet that she wrote the lead in her next feature specifically for Hüller.
That follow-up, Anatomy of a Fall, stars Hüller as a successful author, Sandra, who must defend herself in court against allegations that she murdered her writer husband, Samuel (Samuel Theis). The couple’s legally blind son Daniel is the sole witness, and much of Anatomy of a Fall deals with his coming-of-age as he hears unfiltered accounts of his parent’s troubled marriage presented as evidence against his mother.
While containing clear true crime elements, Anatomy of a Fall is less interested in a “Did she do it?” conclusion, instead more concerned with probing how moments in our lives and...

On October 13, 2023, Neon released “Anatomy of a Fall” in the United States following its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May. With a score of 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics have raved about the Palme d’Or winner, with the consensus stating, “A smart, solidly crafted procedural that’s anchored in family drama, ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ finds star Sandra Hüller and director/co-writer Justine Triet operating at peak power.”
For the past year, Sandra (Hüller), her husband Samuel (Samuel Theis), and their 11-year-old son Daniel (Milo Machado-Graner) have lived a secluded life in a remote town in the French Alps. When Samuel is found dead in the snow below their chalet, the police question whether he was murdered or committed suicide. Samuel’s suspicious death is presumed murder, and Sandra becomes the main suspect. What follows is not just an investigation into the circumstances of Samuel’s death...

“I was obsessed by her,” said director Justine Triet about Sandra Huller, the star of her film “Anatomy of a Fall.” “She was in our mind when we were in the writing process. I think she’s so ungraspable.” And that’s just what Triet needed for a film that provides perhaps even more questions than it answers. Triet, Huller and co-writer Arthur Harari discussed their legal drama at the 61st New York Film Festival. Watch their NYFF Q&a above.
“Anatomy of a Fall” is the mystery of a man’s sudden demise. Samuel (Samuel Theis) falls to his death. His wife Sandra (Huller) is tried for his murder, but their vision-impaired son (Milo Machado Graner) is the only witness. “Because it’s a genre movie, there is a lot of kinds of movies like this,” so the challenge for Triet was to create something unique, something grounded, and...

Divinity, about a dark and creepy future populated by bodybuilders hooked on an elixir for eternal life, “was always made for the theater,” said Alcazar. “But it’s kind of a roll of the dice of what a distributor wants to do with it.” Utopia, which acquired the black-and-white romp — set mostly in a mansion on a desert that looks like the moon — after its Sundance premiere (see Deadline review), opens Divinity at Regal Union Square in NYC, expanding to Los Angeles next week, with a national rollout on 11/3.
There will be opening-weekend Q&As with Alcazar, Soderbergh, star Stephen Dorff and DJ Muggs.

Before we see any images in Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or-winning Anatomy of a Fall, we hear a question: “What do you want to know?” It’s a question uttered by Sandra (Sandra Hüller) as she sits down for an interview opposite an interested pupil. The successful writer’s ask has a practical purpose, but she might also be talking to the audience too, priming them for a courtroom drama that moves beyond interrogating innocence and guilt.
Anatomy of a Fall, written by Triet and Arthur Harari, concerns itself with much more expansive notions of language and narrative in a trial setting. Sandra’s criminal indictment stems from her suspected involvement in the death of her husband, Samuel (Samuel Theis), who suffered a fatal fall from the top floor of their home in the French Alps. But in the absence of conclusive evidence or an eyewitness, the question of...
