US EditionAdam Driver on Jarmusch, 'Star Wars' and putting filmmakers first
- On December 24, 2025, Mubi will release Jim Jarmusch's Venice prize-winning triptych Father Mother Sister Brother, co-starring Adam Driver in his third film with the director alongside Mayim Bialik and Tom Waits.

- The wider industry shows tensions as Francis Ford Coppola self-funded Megalopolis at $120 million and Michael Mann's Heat 2 recently moved from Warner Bros. to Amazon MGM's United Artists over costs.
