With the U.S. presidential election just a month away, a bevy of boldface art-world names is mobilizing in support of Vice President Kamala Harris. This October, the Artists For Harris Advisory Committee is hosting a sale of artworks to support the Harris Victory Fund.

Vice President Harris has her own ties to the art world as a former board member of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Now, the artistic community is giving back with a star-studded collection of works by 167 artists, including Simone Leigh, George Condo, Jenny Holzer, Christopher Wool, Carrie Mae Weems, and Ed Ruscha. Famed actor Leonardo DiCaprio also pitched in, donating a Josh Smith from his personal collection.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Sacramento-shot thriller has a name and a slated 2025 release date, say reports.

“The Battle of Batkan Cross” is set for an August 2025 theatrical release, according to IMDB. The film shoot took over sections of downtown Sacramento in February, including the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel on J Street and Gordon Schaber Sacramento County Courthouse, with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of director Paul Thomas Anderson, DiCaprio and crew.

The project by Anderson — known for “Licorice Pizza,” “There Will Be Blood,” “Magnolia,” and “Boogie Nights,” among others — is said to be a return to the works of novelist Thomas Pynchon. The film reportedly adapts Pynchon’s novel Vineland for the Northern California-set crime thriller. Anderson’s “Inherent Vice” (2014) starred Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin.

A-list actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio del Toro were recently spotted in Downtown El Paso.

DiCaprio was seen filming, while del Toro visited Cafe Central, sparking excitement among El Pasoans. The sightings follow speculation fueled by a mysterious Warner Bros. truck, hinting at a possible film shoot.

A nonprofit group, Habitat for Humanity Re-store, may have an answer after a set decoration buyer and his wife visited the small business, said Nancy Gomez, its general manager.

“They bought ceiling fans, a glass trophy cabinet, a vintage box and a stove,” she said. “They also bought a bunch of hardware.”

The Leonardo DiCaprio movie that was filmed in Sacramento reportedly has a release date.

Although it doesn’t have a title yet, Warner Brothers is planning to release the movie to IMAX theaters on Aug. 8, 2025, according to IndieWire, a film industry and review website. 

The Warner Bros. production is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and also stars Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris and Alana Haim. Anderson is also writing and producing the film.

The plot of the movie is under wraps and is described as Anderson’s most “commercial” project to date. The budget for the upcoming movie, often referred to as “BC Project,” was approaching $100 million, according to Variety.  

Production in Sacramento concluded at the end of February and resulted in economic gains for the city after 16 days of shooting.
