Need2Know Headlines

South by Southwest is underway in Austin, Texas with everything everywhere all at once which debuted at South by and 2022. Cleaning up at the Oscars on Sunday. Many distributors are now looking for the next big movie. So Cheddar News, senior reporter Michelle Castelluccio is on the ground with more Michelle. What are the buzziest ND movies out there? Well, that's right. Everything everywhere all at once surprised people here at South by Southwest 2022 as you pointed out, cleaned up at the Oscars. So now everyone is looking for the next big Oscar win. So there's a few movies that have been talked about quite this earlier this week. The first is problem mista that stars Tilda Swindon Julio Torres. It's by a 24 really known well known production house for Oscar winning films also co produce by Emma Stone's Fruit Tree Productions. It's about a team from El Salvador who is an aspiring toy designer, but he's running into immigration issues as his work. Visa runs out. Very topical, very top of mind. Definitely being talked about here at the festival. The other one that I think is really interesting is using loud, I sing louder. That stars Ewan mcgregor and his daughter, both as a recovering drug addicts. Very deep touching subject. But the first time the father and daughter have worked together, a lot of people chatting about that here and also Joyride, which is going to debut a little bit later. They're talking about kind of a girls trip feel. But with an Asian American cast, people are really excited for that, especially because one of the stars also won an Oscar for everything everywhere all at once. So the interesting thing about a lot of movies here, they don't even have trailers yet. They're looking for places where they can be purchased and stream or go to theaters. So that's really where we're seeing a lot of the distributors right now, come here and take a look at what they want to buy. Interestingly enough, we did speak to Paramount Plus executives and they said they're kind of maxing out on original content they want to buy right now, but they're still in for really interesting topics. So I don't know if it's starting to dry up and people are gonna be buying as many films as usual. But the thing is that people really do want those top topics and top hot movies.
