Reese Witherspoon is ready to pick Flick. The Oscar winner has signed on to topline and produce a sequel to “Election” that will see her reprising the role of Tracy Flick. Titled “Tracy Flick Can’t Win,” the pic is based on Tom Perotta’s book of the same name. Deadline confirmed the news.

Released in 1999, “Election” tells the story of a high school teacher’s (Matthew Broderick) plot to derail the campaign of an overachieving student (Witherspoon) running for student body president. The film is also based on a novel by Perrotta.

Perotta’s “Tracy Flick Can’t Win” hit shelves earlier this year. It finds Tracy back at high school, where she’s

Jessie Buckley will be honored at the 2023 Oscar Wilde Awards. A press release announced that the Oscar-nominated Irish actress will be presented with an award at the annual event run by the US-Ireland Alliance. The ceremony will take place March 9.

Every year, the Oscar Wilde Awards recognize the contributions of Irish-Americans in the U.S. film industry as part of the nonprofit’s mission to “bring together the

“Is this what you think love is?” Anna Kendrick is asked in a new trailer for “Alice, Darling.” Mary Nighy’s feature directorial debut tells the story of Alice (Kendrick), a woman trapped in an abusive relationship. Concerned about her welfare, Alice’s best friends (Wunmi Mosaku and Kaniehtiio Horn) invite her on a week-long getaway at a cottage with plans to stage an intervention. Alice lies to her controlling and manipulative boyfriend (Charlie Carrick) about why she’s heading out of town, claiming that it’s a work obligation. It’s clear that he’d have a major problem with her leaving him alone for a couple of days if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.

“Some people count sheep at night, I count votes,” Nancy Pelosi says in a new trailer for Alexandra Pelosi’s 14th HBO doc, “Pelosi in the House.” 

Filmed in cinema vérité style over three decades, the documentary filmmaker takes viewers inside the political and private life of her mother, now 82. “Pelosi in the House” recounts the congresswoman’s political career milestones, from her 1987 election to Congress, her historic achievement as first woman Speaker of the House in 2007, to the events of the 2020 presidential election. The doc promises “a unique, longitudinal window into the life of a longstanding Democratic politician and history in the making,” per its synopsis.

As 2022 winds down, it’s time to look onward. Sundance Film Festival has announced its 2023 features lineup. High-profile films set to make their world premiere at the fest include Susanna Fogel’s “Cat Person,” an adaptation of Kristen Roupenian’s viral New Yorker short story about a college student’s relationship with an older man, and Nicole Holofcener’s “You Hurt My Feelings,” a comedy that follows a novelist whose relationship takes a turn when she overhears her husband giving his unfiltered reaction to her latest book. “CODA” actress Emilia Jones stars in the former and “Veep” alumna Julia Louis-Dreyfus toplines the latter.

If you’ve ever played exquisite corpse — a game of creating a story or illustration on a paper segmented with folds — you’d know how wacky and surreal the final product can end up. An anthology film whose story was born out of the popular middle school game has been acquired by Gravitas Ventures. A press release announced the news. In addition to starring, Gillian Jacobs (“Community”) directs with Gia Coppola (“Palo Alto”), Xan Cassavetes (“Kiss of the Damned”), Boma Iluma (“Comfort”), Ryan Heffington (“Baby Driver”), Julian J.

Seventeen girls attending a boarding school run by nuns face a major dilemma in “Le Pupille.” Billed as a “tale of innocence, greed, and fantasy,” Alice Rohrwacher’s Disney+ short film sees the girls choosing between satiating their own desires and making a gesture that they’re told will please God.

When a cake made with 70 eggs makes its way to the school at Christmas, the nuns are stunned. The indulgence in “such hard times” is described as “madness” and “a waste” in a new trailer for the project. “I have a proposal for you,” a nun tells her pupils: “sacrificing your slice of cake and offering it as a pledge

Mia Hansen-Løve’s latest sees Léa Seydoux falling for a married man. A trailer for “One Fine Morning” introduces us to Sandra (Seydoux), a widowed mother who is raising her daughter and helping to care her sick father. “I just feel like my love life is behind me,” she explains.

Sandra’s life takes an unexpected turn when she reconnects with Clément (Melvil Poupaud), a friend from her past. “You can still love and be loved,” he tells her. Their relationship isn’t platonic for long, but there’s a catch: Clément is married, and he’s “not ready” to leave his wife and make his son “suffer.” “This was never a fling for me,”
