Few directors have more thoroughly captured the recognition of the public than Christopher Nolan, and with good reason. Now, Paramount Pictures has announced that Nolan’s sci-fi epic Interstellar is returning to theaters for its 10-year anniversary. The film will be returning to theaters for an IMAX Exclusive Limited Engagement on Dec. 6, 2024, with tickets going on sale on Nov. 7.

On top of that, a Collector’s Edition 4K Ultra HD of the film is set to arrive later that same week, on Dec. 10. This new edition was made with Nolan’s participation and approval, and includes both a Blu-Ray and 4K Ultra HD version of the film. It also includes reproductions of five costume patches, five theatrical poster reproductions, and more than two hours of new and original behind-the-scenes material, among other goodies.

Given all of that commemoration, now seems like the perfect time to revisit the film. Starring Matthew McConaughey, it tells the story of a pilot who is recruited to fly a space craft out into deep space to investigate other planets that might be potential homes for humanity now that Earth is dying. In addition to McConaughey, the movie also features Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Matt Damon, and a very young Timothee Chalamet in a small part.

Upon its release, the movie was an instant phenomenon, making more than $700 million worldwide. In the decade since esteem for the movie has also grown right alongside Nolan’s reputation as a director. Although the movie won’t be available all over the country, those screenings of it we get seem very likely to be quite full.

13 classic films everyone should watch (or re-watch) now
These are all pre-1970s, so strap in for a unique list of the classics
Alfred Hitchcock and Janet Leigh in Psycho

Movies today would be nothing without the movies of yesteryear -- the classics, the inspirers, the motivators, the innovators, and the auteurs.
Since there are so many classic movies to choose from, it's usually heavily debated which are the essentials and the go-to’s, but today is just another one of those days. Some of these are chosen for their revolutionary impact on the film industry and others are chosen for their undeniably charismatic and downright cool lead characters. For whatever reason, that film made it on this list and we are here to appreciate it as one within the golden age of film.
Starting from the top, all of these films are pre-1970s, so we will be talking about each of them in chronological release order. Since this list of the best classic movies might be unlike others you’ve seen, strap in because this list is thematically sporadic and may not be agreeable for some.

Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried are teaming up to adapt a recent best-seller
The film is the latest directorial effort from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig
Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You

Sydney Sweeney is headed back to the big screen. Variety is reporting that Sweeney will co-star with Amanda Seyfried in an adaptation of The Housemaid, a 2022 novel by Freida McFadden. The movie will star Sweeney as a down-on-her-luck young woman named Mille who gets a lucky break working as the maid for a wealthy couple. According to the film's logline, "Millie soon learns the family’s secrets are far more dangerous than her own.”

The adaptation will be directed by Paul Feig, the director who most recently made Jackpot!, but also made the critically acclaimed A Simple Favor, which was in a similar mold. The film is being produced by Lionsgate.
“I’m thrilled to have The Housemaid join our upcoming slate,” Adam Fogelson, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair, said in a statement. “A great filmmaker and a great cast with a great script from a great book is a terrific place to start. My prior work experiences with Paul and Amanda have been nothing short of spectacular, and Sydney is as talented and compelling as can be.”
Rebecca Sonenshine is set to adapt the script, which should be another star vehicle for Sweeney after a run of success in movies like Anyone But You and on TV in Euphoria. Seyfried, meanwhile, has done a little bit of everything over the course of her career, and makes for a nice counterpoint to Sweeney. Feig worked well with Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively in a similar dynamic in A Simple Favor, so The Housemaid may be as tantalizing on the big screen as it was in print.
