Kenneth Lonergan makes his return with Tomorrow Is a Drag, featuring performances by Aubrey Plaza, Adam Driver, Matthew Broderick, and Vanessa Kirby.

      The latest news from Cannes is likely to coincide with Kenneth Lonergan's comeback. It's been a full decade since Manchester by the Sea (and two years since the production of Margaret), and the writer-director has gathered a notable cast for Tomorrow Is a Drag, featuring Aubrey Plaza and Adam Driver for fans of Megalopolis, Vanessa Kirby, and Lonergan regular Matthew Broderick. MK2 Films is set to produce the film, which is slated to begin shooting in New York this fall. [Variety]

      For now, that's the update. However, Lonergan’s track record across three films calls for praise based on limited information. It’s now widely accepted that Margaret is one of the landmark achievements of the 21st century, despite the lengthy struggle to recognize its significance. As reflected in the recent returns of Whit Stillman, Richard Kelly, and John Sayles, American cinema is currently lacking in such talents. With filming anticipated later this year, we can only hope for a premiere in 2027 to be inevitable.
