🎥 “Over Your Dead Body” New Trailer: Samara Weaving and Jason Segel Plot Each Other’s Demise in This Twisted Dark Comedy — Arriving in Theaters April 24th

We bet there are a number of people out there who dream about marrying Samara Weaving or Jason Segel since they seem to be some of the most charming actors working in Hollywood today. But their latest film might have those fans second guessing that idea, as it seems marriage comes with a body count and a whole lot of bandages.

In this upcoming darkly comic thriller Over Your Dead Body, the Ready or Not star plays a fiery woman stuck in a deeply unhappy marriage with Segel’s deceptively mild-mannered husband. As they decide to take a prearranged romantic weekend to a remote cabin in hopes of rekindling their relationship, they both discover something shocking and disturbing: they have each secretly planned to kill each other before the weekend is over.

With the revelation comes a tense cabin standoff where the two get locked into a deadly game of one-upmanship as things go from bad to completely off the rails, when a few unexpected guests arrive, turning a private grudge match into an unpredictable disaster.

Directed by Lonely Island comedian and former SNL writer Jorma Taccone (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, MacGruber), this remake of the Norwegian cult hit Onde Dager (aka The Trip) asks just how far an unhappy married couple can take the whole “till death do us part” thing before it turns into a very real murder plot.

Leaning into sharp tonal swings between violence and absurdity, the script comes from sketch comedy duo/screenwriters Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher (aka BriTANicK), who recently made their feature directorial debut with Hulu’s trippy stoner comedy Pizza Movie.

Joining Weaving and Segel is a supporting cast that includes Juliette Lewis and Paul Guilfoyle, with Timothy Olyphant as a contract killer who finds himself entangled in the couple’s twisted weekend of betrayal and bloodshed.

Over Your Dead Body is coming to theaters April 24th. Witness a marriage dissolution like no other.

🎥 “Mother Mary” New Trailer: Anne Hathaway Transforms into a Mega Pop Star in David Lowery’s Genre-Bending Fever Dream — Opening in Select Theaters April 17th; Expanding Wide April 24th

Anne Hathaway, the pop diva?

The Devil Wears Prada star is getting the chance to tap into her inner diva, starring as a chart-topping icon in the visually striking, genre-blending pop star drama Mother Mary from writer-director David Lowery (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story).

Hathaway, who is already stacking a major year with two highly anticipated summer releases, The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, dives headfirst into full pop icon mode as a Lady Gaga–meets–Taylor Swift hybrid. For the role, she not only had to learn full stage routines, but also teamed up with Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX, who provided the film’s original songs.

Here, Hathaway is “Mother Mary,” a larger-than-life recording artist who abruptly abandons her world tour during a mid-meltdown, only to disappear into rural Germany. There, she reconnects with her estranged former best friend and costume designer, Sam, played by I May Destroy You’s Michaela Coel. What starts as a creative collaboration quickly turns into something far more charged, as old wounds resurface and personal tensions rise when Mary asks Sam to design a custom-made dress; one that could define everything she is and everything she wants to become. Little does she know, the dress itself will take on a life of its own, possibly consuming her in the process.

Part pop music melodrama, part fever dream, writer-director David Lowery might have whipped up something as mesmerizing as it is unhinged. Whether it plays as a bold artist reinvention or a surreal detour, one thing is clear: this isn’t your typical rise-and-fall music story.

Co-starring Hunter Schafer, FKA twigs, Kaia Gerber, Atheena Frizzell, and Jessica Brown Findlay, Mother Mary opens in select theaters April 17th before expanding wide on April 24th.

🎥 “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” Trailer: A Missing Girl Returns from a 3,000-Year-Old Tomb in This Chilling New Take on the Classic Universal Monster Starring Jack Reynor & Laia Costa — Coming to Theaters April 17th

The mummy is a classic cinematic horror archetype that has been creeping out audiences since the early days of the “talkies.” But what makes it such an enduring theme is how people have continued to be fascinated with death itself. And these resurrected, linen-wrapped monsters seem to reflect not only our fear of our mortality, but what happens if someone could come back from the grave.

Now, enter Irish horror filmmaker Lee Cronin. After proving with Evil Dead Rise that he can bring fresh blood to a franchise, Cronin now takes on one of Universal’s most iconic screen monsters, The Mummy. And it seems he’s taking a sharper, nastier approach, tapping into why the mummy concept was ever frightening to begin with, while also giving it a more modern edge.

Fellow Irishman Jack Reynor (Midsommar) stars as a journalist whose life is upended when his young daughter, who has been missing for eight years and presumed dead, is inexplicably discovered inside a 3,000-year-old sarcophagus. She returns home looking the same age she was when she vanished all those years ago. Pale skin, hollow stares, and a presence that suggests this isn’t exactly the same girl they once knew. Worse yet, whoever... or whatever; this is might not entirely be human.

Spanish actress Laia Costa co-stars as Jack’s wife and the girl’s mother, unable to grapple with what has come back into their lives. Even though they both want to believe it’s really their daughter, they can’t help but notice that something feels deeply off... possibly even a new thirst for human blood. Yikes!

Co-starring May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, and Verónica Falcón, and produced by Jason Blum’s Blumhouse, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, and New Line Cinema, this new take signals a continued push toward darker reinventions of classic monsters, following the success of The Invisible Man and Wolf Man.

Lee Cronin’s The Mummy opens in theaters April 17th.

🎥 “The Breadwinner” New Trailer: Comic Nate Bargatze Takes on Stay-at-Home Dad Duties in This Father-Out-of-His-Depth Comedy with Mandy Moore — In Theaters March 13th

Stand-up comic Nate Bargatze has been selling out shows for years, becoming one of the most popular and relatable comedians working today. Now he takes his affable stage persona to the big screen as he follows the path of many comedians before him by giving acting a shot.

In the upcoming comedy The Breadwinner, Bargatze makes his feature acting debut as Nate Wilcox, a husband and father whose life gets flipped overnight when his wife Katie (played by This Is Us’s Mandy Moore) lands a game-changing deal on Shark Tank. With her business career taking off and pulling her away from home, Nate is left to manage the household and raise their three daughters on his own... something he is, to put it mildly, not equipped to handle.

Drawing on his own stand-up act as a struggling, ill-prepared parent, the film has Bargatze reexamining the idea of a stay-at-home dad and what it means in today’s world, where the pressure to juggle work and family can throw even the most put-together person off balance.

Directed by Eric Appel, the helmer behind one of the most absurd and wildly entertaining biopics in recent memory, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, and working from a script co-written by Bargatze and Dan Lagana, the film appears to be less about big, outrageous gags and more about the quiet panic of trying to keep everything from falling apart.

Featuring a strong supporting cast that includes Colin Jost, Zach Cherry, Martin Herlihy, and Kate Berlant, with Kumail Nanjiani and Will Forte popping in along the way, The Breadwinner might be a throwback to Mr. Mom, but with a more modern, self-aware spin on parenting and partnership.

The Breadwinner hits theaters March 13th.

🎥 “Rosebush Pruning” Trailer: Jamie Bell Brings His Girlfriend (Elle Fanning) Home to His Twisted Wealthy Family in This Dark Satirical Thriller From the Writer of ‘Dogtooth’, Also Starring Callum Turner, Riley Keough & Tracy Letts — Coming Soon

Families should give one comfort and protection. But from the mind of Efthimis Filippou, the acclaimed Greek screenwriter behind the eerily warped films Dogtooth and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, a family isn’t something to cherish... it’s something to escape. ‘Cause some families come with problems, but this one comes with nightmares.

Rosebush Pruning is a new darkly satirical family thriller featuring a stellar ensemble that includes Jamie Bell, Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Lukas Gage, and Tracy Letts as members of a twisted family that feels more like a ticking time bomb than a warm, comfortable home.

Here, Bell plays the black sheep of the family, someone who’s long kept his distance from his spoiled, tightly wound siblings and his wealthy, egotistical father (played here by Letts), a man known for his sharp tongue and biting remarks. But when he brings home his new girlfriend (played by Fanning), what should be a simple, pleasant family dinner quickly spirals into something far more chaotic and twisted.

Just beneath the family’s polished veneer, resentment simmers, egos clash, and long-buried tensions start to surface during what should be a routine gathering. But as the night stretches on, it becomes clear this isn’t just another awkward reunion... it’s a night they’ll never forget.

Loosely inspired by Marco Bellocchio’s 1965 Italian satirical film Fists in the Pocket, about a man’s murder plot to free his “normal” brother from the burden of their dysfunctional family, the film is directed by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz (Futuro Beach, Firebrand), working from an adapted screenplay by Efthimis Filippou, the frequent collaborator of Yorgos Lanthimos.

Given Filippou’s track record—co-writing Dogtooth (2009) and The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), while also contributing to Alps (2011), The Lobster (2015), and Kinds of Kindness (2024)—there’s an expectation of discomfort baked right into the premise. This looks like a family satire that doesn’t just poke at dysfunction but sits in it, letting the tension simmer and daring everyone to crack first.

Also co-starring Pamela Anderson and Elena Anaya, Rosebush Pruning is expected to be released in theaters via MUBI, the same offbeat arthouse label behind The Substance, Die My Love, and this year’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. So expect nothing short of something deeply unsettling and impossible to look away from.

🎥 “The Furious” Trailer: Xie Miao and Joe Taslim Unleash Bone-Crunching Mayhem in a Relentless Martial Arts Revenge Thriller — Coming to Theaters May 29th

Anyone who grew up on Jackie Chan’s films and the hard-hitting action wave of the 1990s has been waiting for a return to this kind of raw, bone-crunching, no-frills filmmaking where stunt work once again takes center stage. Sure, we’ve seen a few exciting throwbacks like The Raid films and the John Wick franchise, but they haven’t fully tapped into that same raw intensity of watching professional martial artists truly cut loose and deliver the kind of visceral thrills that push audiences to those “oh shit” moments.

A big part of the appeal is watching highly skilled fighters go at it as if there’s no safety net in place, where every punch and kick feels ferocious and just a little out of control. It’s like the camera is catching lightning in a bottle, capturing these jaw-dropping action sequences that seem to defy gravity and ignore any sense of restraint. That’s the rush.

Well, The Furious is an upcoming martial arts revenge thriller that is not only aptly titled, but will likely have longtime action film junkies on their feet on sheer adrenaline as the hits keep coming. That is, if this trailer is any indication, as it has certainly gotten us pumped up and baring our teeth with anticipation.

Chinese martial artist Xie Miao (aka Mo Tse) and Indonesian martial artist Joe Taslim (of The Raid and Mortal Kombat) join forces to deliver a relentless, hard-hitting showcase of pure martial arts mayhem in this Hong Kong fightfest where the only way justice is served is with bruised fists and plenty of broken bones.

The setup is simple and brutal. After his young daughter is kidnapped by a criminal network, Wang Wei (Xie Miao) turns to the police for help... and gets nothing but corruption and indifference in return. So he takes matters into his own hands. What follows is a full-throttle descent into the underworld, where every lead comes with a body count.

Wei’s only real ally is Navin (Joe Taslim), a relentless journalist who is also searching for his missing wife. Together, they form an uneasy partnership fueled by grief, anger, and a shared need for answers. And as expected, things don’t just escalate... they explode to levels of all-out carnage.

Japanese-born Hong Kong action choreographer–turned–filmmaker Kenji Tanigaki takes the helm, leaning fully into unforgiving fight sequences while staying rooted in the long tradition of Hong Kong action cinema where physicality and practical stunt work are at the heart of every exhilarating moment.

Already picking up plenty of buzz since making the festival circuit last year, including strong showings at TIFF and the Sitges Film Festival, The Furious is set to blow the doors off when it punches its way into theaters May 29th. Come for the brutal beatdowns, but stay for the damage it delivers… ’cuz we’re sure it won’t pull a single punch.

🎥 “Heads or Tails” Trailer: John C. Reilly Plays Legendary Gunslinger Buffalo Bill as He Brings His Wild West Tour to Italy in This Spaghetti Western Throwback — In Theaters and on VOD/Digital April 10th

Ah, the Old West. The myths, the legends, the landscapes, and the gunslingers; it’s all been covered in countless classic American films before. But the Western genre has a reach that stretches far beyond the American frontier.

For instance, the Italian Western, sometimes referred to as Spaghetti Westerns, has its own long tradition of reshaping the genre, layering in a distinct sense of style, heightened violence, and operatic flair. In many ways, the newest takes on the Western have been directly inspired by that 1960s and ’70s wave. And it seems this latest film not only continues that reinvention, but proudly wears its Spaghetti Western influences on its sleeve.

Shot on location in Lazio and Tuscany, Heads or Tails is not only an offbeat Spaghetti Western throwback, complete with a dusty, painterly aesthetic that recalls the pulp shoot-’em-up worlds of Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Leone, but also flips the mythology of the American Old West on its head.

Here, the film finds legendary gunslinger Buffalo Bill (played by none other than John C. Reilly) traveling to Italy with his Buffalo Bill’s Wild West stage tour, selling the American cowboy myth to paying crowds; only for reality to come crashing in before long.

The story kicks off when Rosa (played by French actress Nadia Tereszkiewicz), trapped in a brutal marriage to a ruthless landowner, sees a chance to escape after a rodeo turns violently out of control. On the run, she crosses paths with Santino (Italian actor Alessandro Borghi), a local cowboy known for humiliating his American counterparts. In no time, the two find themselves wanted, with a price on Santino’s head. And with Buffalo Bill in town, who better to hunt them down than the man selling the myth himself? The question is, is he really as great as he claims to be?

Directed and co-written by the filmmaking duo of Alessio Rigo de Righi and Matteo Zoppis (The Tale of King Crab), this feels less like a traditional American Western and more like a meditation on how myths are built and sold... and what happens when someone refuses to play along.

Heads or Tails is slated to arrive in theaters and on VOD/Digital April 10th.

🎥 “Faces of Death” New Trailer: Barbie Ferreira Plays a Content Moderator Pulled Into a Twisted World of Real or Staged Horror — In Theaters April 10th

In the age of social media and endless uncensored video feeds, it seems we are more and more exposed to all the horrors this world has to offer. It raises the question of whether we’ve become desensitized to graphic violence. Well, How to Blow Up a Pipeline filmmaker Daniel Goldhaber and writer-producer Isa Mazzei are diving headfirst into that taboo subject, exploring just how much we can stomach… and how much we still haven’t seen.

In the upcoming horror film Faces of Death, Barbie Ferreira stars as a content moderator, someone tasked with filtering the worst of the internet before it reaches everyone else. But when she starts uncovering videos that mirror the original shock videotape series Faces of Death—only cleaner, more deliberate, and possibly real—the job turns into a twisted test of what is forbidden, what is real, and what is ignored for users’ consumption.

The deeper she digs, the harder it is to tell if she’s watching fiction, imitation, or something unfolding in real time. And perhaps the truth is even more terrifying than she imagined.

Also starring Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX, the film is a remake of sorts, reimagined from the notorious Faces of Death tapes of the late ’70s and ’80s, which featured unedited news footage and videos of deaths, accidents, and graphic violence. For a certain older generation, the tapes were passed around and whispered about like urban legends, even as some of the content was later revealed to have been staged and manipulated.

Back then, the fear came from not knowing what you were watching. Now, it seems it might come from realizing you can’t look away, no matter how hard you try to scroll it off your For You page.

Faces of Death hits theaters April 10th.

🎥 “I Swear” New U.S. Trailer: Robert Aramayo Delivers a Raw Performance as a Young Man Battling Tourette Syndrome in This 1980s True-Story Drama — In U.S. Theaters April 24th

Sometimes the hardest part of a disorder isn’t the symptoms… it’s the lack of awareness and having to live in a world that refuses to understand. Set in 1980s Britain, young teen John Davidson, living with a severe form of Tourette syndrome, struggles through adolescence as involuntary outbursts turn everyday life into a constant battle. Robert Aramayo (from HBO’s Game of Thrones and Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings) delivers a stunning performance as John grows into a tic-addled man trying to find his place in a community that won’t make room for him. Saddled with uncontrollable outbursts and spontaneous swearing, John fights misunderstanding and stigma to change how people see him, and to finally be heard on his own terms.

Winner of Best Actor at the recent BAFTAs, this moving true-story drama from writer-director Kirk Jones (Waking Ned) sets out to prove that understanding begins with listening and acceptance starts with judging a person by what they do, not what they can’t control.

🎥 “Pressure” International Trailer: Brendan Fraser’s Eisenhower Faces a D-Day Decision as Andrew Scott’s Meteorologist Races Against a Deadly Storm for the Right Forecast — In Theaters May 29th

The most important invasion in history came down to a weather forecast; one that could make… or break the mission entirely. In the days leading up to D-Day, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was forced to decide when to strike as volatile storm systems threatened to wipe out the operation before it even began.

In this based-on-a-true-story WWII drama, Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser stars as Eisenhower facing a ticking-clock decision, with Andrew Scott as the brilliant British army meteorologist James Stagg, who fights to prove his predictions are correct despite pressure from Eisenhower’s advisors to move sooner. With Kerry Condon co-starring as Eisenhower’s secretary Kay Summersby and Damian Lewis as senior British Army commander Bernard Montgomery, and Hotel Mumbai director Anthony Maras at the helm, this is the part of the war some might never have known… the call that could have changed everything.

All aboard! RuPaul is in the house… the White House, that is.

With little, if anything, to stop the train from derailing, it will be up to two train stewardesses, Tess and DeeDee (drag queens Ginger Minj and Jujubee), to keep the passengers at ease while the President and her team scramble to stop a full-blown disaster.

Directed with full camp and flair by Adam Shankman (Hairspray, Rock of Ages), expect plenty of cameos from some of the most flamboyant personalities working today, including Charo, Rachel Bloom, Joel McHale, Riki Lindhome, Drew Droege, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Guy Branum, Chris Parnell, and Sarah Michelle Gellar as herself, among others. It’s gonna be a wild, over-the-top rescue mission where saving the train is only half the show.

What began as a fight to survive a mid-air disaster quickly turns into a battle to stay alive in shark-infested waters. And you thought you had a bad day.

🎥 “Mārama” Trailer: A Journey from New Zealand to Victorian England Unleashes a Dark Story of Heritage and Vengeance in Taratoa Stappard’s Gothic Period Thriller with Ariana Osborne & Toby Stephens — In Theaters April 17th

🎥 “Wild Horse Nine” Trailer: Sam Rockwell & John Malkovich Play Bickering CIA Operatives on the Brink of Disaster in Martin McDonagh’s Darkly Comic 1970s Thriller — In Theaters November 6th

Writer-director Martin McDonagh may have perfected the anti-buddy comedy with acclaimed films like In Bruges and The Banshees of Inisherin. These stories focus on two completely mismatched yet miserable sad sacks who can’t help but bicker at each other but also can’t seem to function without one another. It’s a yin and yang of resentment and co-dependency.

McDonagh, who gave us the darkly comic Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri—which earned both Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell Oscar trophies for their performances—is back with Rockwell for the third time, following their first collaboration on Seven Psychopaths. This time, the British-born Irish filmmaker pairs Rockwell with the equally compelling John Malkovich as he once again tackles his go-to theme of throwing two deeply incompatible men into a shared predicament they can’t escape.

This time, the setting is Easter Island, just days before the 1973 Chilean coup that overthrew socialist President Salvador Allende; a military takeover in which the CIA was deeply involved. Rockwell and Malkovich play veteran CIA operatives Chris and Lee, longtime partners sent on what seems like a regular assignment.

Their cover: two ordinary American tourists taking in the sights, but in reality they’re overseeing a covert operation that’s anything but routine.

The problem: Malkovich’s Lee has a big freakin’ mouth and erratic behavior that constantly drives Rockwell’s Chris up the wall. And if Lee ain’t careful, this little operation of theirs just might go from routine to catastrophic in a hurry.

Steve Buscemi co-stars as the CIA bureau chief in Washington, D.C., who’s been getting reports that Lee may be losing control, acting increasingly unpredictable. If so, Chris will have to decide where his loyalties really lie. ’Cause this just might be Lee’s last assignment... period.

Joining the core cast are iconic musician-actor Tom Waits and Emmy-winner Parker Posey, with Chilean actress Mariana di Girolamo (Ema) and Argentine actress Ailín Salas playing two rebellious Chilean students who suspect Chris and Lee aren’t exactly who they claim to be. And with Lee more obnoxious than ever, already claiming their country is going to get f-cked... well, things are bound to spiral fast. Soon, car crashes and gunfights become normal occurrences on Easter Island.

Wild Horse Nine arrives in theaters November 6th. And from the looks of things, it just might be an awards contender, though it’s far too early to call.

🎥 “Balls Up” Red Band Trailer: Mark Wahlberg & Paul Walter Hauser Get Into a World of Trouble After Pitching the World‘s Most Ridiculous Condom in Peter Farrelly‘s New Action Comedy — Premiering April 15th on Prime Video

Back in the mid-1970s, there was a marketing phenomenon known as The Pet Rock. It was a completely useless novelty toy that exploded onto the market like a rocket and became a bestseller largely due to how it was packaged and marketed. Ever since, the Pet Rock has stood as proof that with the right pitch, you can sell anything to anyone, even a literal rock in a box with fancy packaging.

Now picture this: a condom. But not just any ole condom; one that protects the entire package — testicles included. It’s called the Balls Up, and with the right pitch man, it just might score a lucrative World Cup Brazil sponsorship deal. And who knows, it just might turn out to be the greatest marketing miracle since a rock in a box made someone a millionaire. The question now, who would be the guy to pitch it? Well, Mark Wahlberg just might be exactly that guy for the job.

At least that’s the ridiculously funny premise behind the new raunchy action-comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser as Brad and Elijah, a pair of ad executives who swing for the fences with the boldest pitch of their careers. And while Hauser’s Elijah is the wizard behind the Balls Up, Wahlberg’s Brad is the magnetic pitch man who just might have landed one of the biggest deals of his career: to have the Balls Up be the official condom for one of the biggest sporting events on the planet: the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. It’s audacious. It’s utterly ridiculous. And somehow, they actually pull it off.

But here’s where things get messy. After celebrating their unlikely win with a drunken night out in Brazil, Brad and Elijah accidentally ignite an international scandal that puts targets on their backs after they accidentally ruin the Brazilian soccer team’s chances of advancing to the championship. Suddenly, these two numbskulls are forced to scramble across South America, dodging furious soccer fans, dangerous criminals, and power-hungry officials who all want a piece of them.

Their mission? Salvage their careers, fix the PR disaster, and somehow make it home in one piece. That is, if they survive their little run-in with a notorious international drug runner played by comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

Peter Farrelly, the director who helped define the raunchy comedy genre in the ‘90s and early 2000s and then pivoted to win an Oscar with Green Book, returns to his comfort zone directing this gleefully unhinged comedy. The script comes from Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the duo behind the Deadpool and Zombieland franchises. So expect nothing short of gloriously bonkers shenanigans from start to finish.

Joining Wahlberg and Hauser is a stacked cast that includes Benjamin Bratt, Eva De Dominici, Daniela Melchior, Molly Shannon, and Eric André.

Balls Up premieres April 15th exclusively on Prime Video. It’s rated R, which should surprise absolutely no one.

🎥 “Outcome” Trailer: Keanu Reeves Plays a Hollywood Star Facing Cancellation in Jonah Hill’s New Comedy with Cameron Diaz & Matt Bomer — Premieres April 10th on Apple TV

Keanu Reeves might go down in history as one of the most likable movie stars Hollywood has ever seen. We can’t think of anyone who doesn’t love Keanu Reeves. His favorability rating is through the roof, and every behind-the-scenes story that manages to sneak out only makes him more beloved.

For instance, there’s the story of Reeves giving up a generous portion of his back-end profit points (reportedly around $75 million) to the special effects and costume design teams behind The Matrix sequels, because he believed they were more deserving and the true heroes of the franchise. It’s a true story. What a cool guy, right?

Which brings us to Keanu Reeves’ latest comedy, where he plays someone not all that different from himself: a big, famous Hollywood star. There is one key difference, though… he’s on the verge of getting canceled if he doesn’t get his life in order, come clean, and ask for forgiveness. The catch? He’s not entirely sure what he did wrong, considering his memory is still a bit hazy after a five-year drug-fueled spiral.

Outcome is the latest feature film directed and co-written by actor-comedian Jonah Hill, following his previous directorial efforts, the 2022 documentary Stutz and the 2018 coming-of-age drama Mid90s. Here, Hill returns to his comedy roots, leaning into the irony of casting one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures as one of its most problematic.

Reeves stars as Reef Hawk, a beloved Hollywood icon who, after a five-year hiatus (secretly recovering from a heroin addiction), is ready to make a comeback. But when a mysterious video surfaces, it threatens not only to derail his career but to completely destroy any chance of him ever working in the industry again.

Hill, sporting a bushy beard and a shaved head, co-stars as Reef’s crisis lawyer Ira, who has assembled a crisis-management team of top PR experts to handle the fallout. The problem is, what exactly did Reef Hawk do that was so damaging? But more importantly, is his apology even worth anything if he hasn’t done the real work to truly atone for it?

Featuring an all-star supporting cast that includes Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer as Reef’s ride-or-die friends, while Martin Scorsese, Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, Atsuko Okatsuka, Roy Wood Jr., Kaia Gerber, and Ivy Wolk round out the ensemble.

Outcome is slated to premiere April 10th exclusively on Apple TV.

🎥 “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War” Teaser Trailer: John Krasinski Returns as the World Edges Toward Catastrophe in Amazon’s Upcoming Standalone Movie — Premiering May 20th on Prime Video

There’s a version of the Jack Ryan story that ends with him safely behind a desk, possibly after a long and distinguished career of examining and analyzing intelligence briefs and handing over the tougher assessments to someone with more field miles and fewer reasons to go looking for trouble.

Ghost War is not that version.

The CIA’s most reluctant field operative is back. And this time, it’s for “an all-new major movie event.” So, strapped in — because if Jack Ryan’s on the job, that could only mean one thing: the world is on the brink of yet another catastrophe and the CIA can’t help but meddle into exactly the kind of mess Ryan swore he was done with.

John Krasinski returns as CIA Agent Jack Ryan in this upcoming standalone film, a feature-length continuation of the popular Amazon series that ran for four seasons based on the best-selling spy novels by Tom Clancy.

Here, Krasinski’s Ryan has stumbled onto a suspicious cluster of bank transfers. What starts as an analyst’s hunch quickly pulls him out of Langley and into something far more dangerous. The trail leads across Europe and the Middle East, threading toward a rising terrorist figurehead planning a massive coordinated attack on the United States, with allies already set in motion.

Ryan didn’t go looking for this. He never does. But that doesn’t mean trouble stops looking for him... and it’s not like walking away when lives are on the line is something he’s ever been any good at.

Wendell Pierce returns as well, again playing James Greer, the CIA deputy director and Ryan’s closest ally and handler, a man who always seems to know more than he’s saying. Michael Kelly is also back as Mike November, now operating as a private security contractor after his Venezuela days... which means he’s either the most useful person in the room or the most complicated. Betty Gabriel also reprises her role as CIA director Elizabeth Wright, with Sienna Miller joining the cast in a role yet to be detailed.

Emmy-nominated TV helmer Andrew Bernstein directs from a screenplay by Aaron Rabin and John Krasinski, based on a story Krasinski developed with producer Noah Oppenheim.

Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War is set to premiere May 20th on Prime Video.

🎥 “Beast” Trailer: Daniel MacPherson’s Ex-MMA Fighter Steps Back Into the Cage for a Brutal Last Stand with Russell Crowe in His Corner — Hitting Theaters April 10th

Joining Spade and Von are Tim Dillon, Bobby Lee, and Kirk Fox, with Jonah Feingold (At Midnight, 31 Candles) directing this fast, loose, and unapologetically ridiculous ride where the only thing getting served consistently is disaster.

🎥 “Desert Warrior” Trailer: Anthony Mackie Plays a Legendary Desert Bandit Protecting a Runaway Princess from Ben Kingsley’s Ruthless Emperor in Director Rupert Wyatt’s Historical Action Epic with Aiysha Hart & Sharlto Copley — Coming to Theaters April 24th

Empires rise and empires fall. But what you have to remember is that empires sometimes become so powerful that they forget even the smallest resistance can bring them to their knees.

Anthony Mackie trades in his shield and wings for something a little breezy and loose-fitting as he stars as a legendary Arabian bandit taking on a mighty army to protect a runaway princess in the action-packed historical adventure epic Desert Warrior.

Hailing from Rise of the Planet of the Apes filmmaker Rupert Wyatt and set in the Arabian Peninsula during the volatile seventh-century expansion of the Persian Empire, the film follows a young princess (played by Aiysha Hart, from Mogul Mowgli and TV’s A Discovery of Witches) forced to abandon palace life and survive in the unforgiving desert after defying a ruthless emperor determined to dominate the region. Her only hope lies in forming an unlikely alliance with a legendary desert bandit (Mackie) who has made a name for himself resisting imperial rule.

A throwback to the classic sweeping desert spectacle with a reluctant hero at its center, Mackie aims to prove that no matter the setting, he’s got the charisma and courage to lead the charge against Sir Ben Kingsley, who takes on the role of Emperor Kisra, a powerful ruler determined to crush any resistance to his expanding empire.

South African actor Sharlto Copley, of District 9 fame, co-stars as a mercenary tasked with hunting down Mackie’s elusive bandit, only to realize he may be the one leader capable of uniting the region’s long-feuding tribes in a shared fight to topple the invading empire.

Also co-starring Ghassan Massoud, Sami Bouajila, Lamis Ammar, Géza Röhrig, and Numan Acar, Desert Warrior is set to hit theaters April 24th.

🎥 “Thrash” Trailer: Djimon Hounsou Battles Storm-Flooded Streets and Hungry Sharks in Tommy Wirkola’s Hurricane-Fueled Survival Thriller — Premiering April 10th on Netflix

If Jaws taught us anything, it’s that the real terror of the water isn’t drowning... it’s what might already be swimming beneath the surface, waiting for its next meal. Which makes us wonder: what happens when a massive flood turns an entire town into shark-infested waters? Well... if your first thought was that sounds like one hell of a movie, you’re in luck. One is on the way, and it’s arriving soon.

Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola, the genre-loving director behind the cult Nazi zombie splatterfest Dead Snow, its gleefully outrageous sequel Dead Snow 2: Red vs. Dead, and the recent Santa Claus action hit Violent Night, has really sunk his teeth into this one. It’s a new Netflix original called Thrash. Yup! It’s a shark-infested survival horror thriller set in a coastal town that has just been hit by a monstrous Category 5 hurricane. As the storm breaks through the city’s barriers, streets are suddenly flooded, buildings demolished, and much of the town left underwater. But the survivors soon discover the nightmare has only just begun, as the real threat isn’t the rising water levels... it’s what’s now swimming in them: blood-hungry sharks!

Djimon Hounsou leads this action-packed thriller as a local boat captain who takes to the rising waters in search of stranded residents. Among those trapped in the disaster is a young pregnant woman, played by Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, who finds herself stuck in her car as the hurricane rips through the city and the floodwaters begin swallowing the streets.

Helping coordinate the desperate rescue effort is the captain’s daughter (played by Whitney Peak), who joins her father aboard their small boat as they navigate debris-filled waters and search for survivors scattered across the drowned town.

🎥 “Our Hero, Balthazar” Trailer: Jaeden Martell Plays a Privileged Teen Whose Online Activism Spirals Into a Dangerous Road Trip in Oscar Boyson’s Dark Social Satire Thriller with Asa Butterfield — In Theaters March 27th

We live in times of both rampant anonymous internet trolls and performative online crusaders. And the thing they have in common is a desperate need to be seen, heard, and validated.

Our Hero, Balthazar, a razor-sharp social satire thriller that pokes at online clout-chasing and the intoxicating rush of performative activism, while also examining youth rapidly slipping into apathy and moral confusion, just might be one of the most provocative films of the year. It also feels especially timely as social media has become a dominant form of communication among younger generations navigating identity, outrage, and validation in the digital age. In other words, the kids aren’t all right.

Jaeden Martell (IT, IT Chapter Two) stars as Balthazar, a privileged and socially awkward New York teenager who begins posting passionate pro-gun-control videos online, hoping to impress a politically engaged classmate while quietly enjoying the glow of moral superiority. But when an anonymous internet troll starts mocking him at every turn, Balthazar’s digital crusade quickly mutates into obsession.

Convinced the troll—a gun-obsessed teen named Solomon, played by Sex Education star Asa Butterfield—might be planning something far more dangerous, Balthazar does what any impulsive, overconfident internet activist might do: he travels to Texas to confront the supposed threat himself.

What he finds isn’t exactly the villain he imagined. In some ways Solomon fits the profile Balthazar constructed in his head; in others, he’s just another lonely teenager navigating anger, confusion, and a complicated home life. The two teens form an uneasy bond as their strange journey edges toward something far more volatile than either of them expected.

The film also co-stars Chris Bauer, Jennifer Ehle, Anna Baryshnikov, Noah Centineo, and Becky Ann Baker, with Avan Jogia playing a local men’s rights activist.

Filmmaker Oscar Boyson (known for producing indie standouts like Uncut Gems and Good Time) makes his feature directorial debut here. Co-written with journalist and author Ricky Camilleri, the film premiered at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, where it drew attention for its provocative mix of satire and social commentary examining internet culture and modern masculinity.

Our Hero, Balthazar arrives in theaters March 27th.

🎥 “Fuze” U.S. Trailer: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Races to Disarm a WWII Bomb While Theo James Plots a Diamond Heist in David Mackenzie’s London Crime Thriller — In Theaters April 24th

Every so often a thriller comes along that builds its tension around a simple but nerve-rattling question: what happens when the entire city is forced to stop... and someone decides that’s the perfect moment to strike?

That’s the ticking-clock setup behind Fuze, a new British action thriller from Hell or High Water filmmaker David Mackenzie, who once again returns to morally tangled crime territory; only this time with a bomb buried beneath modern London and a heist quietly unfolding in its shadow.

The story kicks off when an unexploded World War II bomb is discovered beneath a busy construction site, triggering a massive emergency response and forcing authorities to evacuate large parts of the city. But while the city focuses on the looming threat beneath the pavement, another plan begins to unfold above it: a daring diamond heist unfolding in plain sight.

28 Years Later star Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays a member of the military bomb disposal unit tasked with safely defusing the decades-old explosive before it turns the city of London into a disaster zone. At the same time, Theo James (of The Monkey and The White Lotus: Season 2) plays a cool-headed diamond smuggler who sees the mass evacuation not as a crisis but as the perfect cover for a meticulously planned heist.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Loki) co-stars as the city’s chief metro superintendent manning the emergency response from command headquarters, while rounding out the cast are Sam Worthington, Honor Swinton Byrne, Saffron Hocking, and Elham Ehsas.

While all of London might be holding its collective breath over a bomb that could explode at any moment, the last thing anyone expects is a second fuse quietly burning somewhere else, where the timing is just as critical... and the consequences just as explosive.

Fuze is slated to explode into U.S. theaters April 24th.

🎥 “Roommates” Trailer: Sadie Sandler and Chloe East Turn Dorm Life Into a Passive-Aggressive Cold War in Happy Madison’s Campus Comedy — Debuts April 17th on Netflix

🎥 “Everyone Is Lying to You for Money” Trailer: Ben McKenzie Investigates Crypto’s Culture of Hype, Scams, and Speculation in This Eye-Opening Documentary — Hitting Select Theaters April 17th

Ben McKenzie is an actor, author, and holds a bachelor’s degree in foreign affairs and economics. He also stepped away from acting for a time to become a vocal critic of the cryptocurrency industry, calling it nothing short of a Ponzi scheme. And for that we salute him. Sadly, his warnings and investigations—including the book Easy Money—have done little to curtail the industry’s relentless hype and speculation.

So, the next reasonable step? Make a documentary. McKenzie’s directorial debut examines a financial system built more on belief than proof, as he turns himself into a reporter digging into the explosive rise of cryptocurrency and the culture of hype, misinformation, and speculation that helped fuel it. Through interviews with experts and a closer look at major industry collapses, the film reveals how crypto became one of the most aggressively marketed financial products of the modern era... which raises the question of who actually benefits if the market collapses and ordinary investors are left holding the bag.

After clashing with a local gang and uncovering the mysterious disappearance of young men (including his own cousin), he finds himself hunted by criminals, crooked lawmen, and a community with secrets worth killing for. Co-starring Paris Jackson, Michael Harney, Rockmond Dunbar, Jason Isbell, and Blair Underwood, this revenge-driven thriller reminds us that every town has secrets... but this one may be hiding something much darker than most.

🎥 “Project Hail Mary” Final International Trailer: Ryan Gosling Becomes Earth’s Last Hope and Teams with a Rock-Like Alien in Phil Lord & Christopher Miller’s Much-Buzzed-About Space Adventure — Hitting Theaters March 20th

Saving the world was never supposed to fall to a middle-school science teacher from Cleveland. But then again, who could have expected the sun to start dying so fast? That’s the gist behind Ryan Gosling’s latest sci-fi adventure Project Hail Mary, which is already generating plenty of buzz. And it just might be the next big space adventure audiences have been waiting for.

After all, it hails from directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who brought us the animated blockbusters Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and its sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, and is based on the best-selling novel by author Andy Weir, of The Martian fame, adapted by The Martian scribe Drew Goddard. So the film certainly has the pedigree to make it something special.

Set to open nationwide on March 20th, the film sees Gosling as Ryland Grace, an unassuming middle-school science teacher from Cleveland who suddenly finds himself tasked with saving the entire planet. Scientists have made a terrifying discovery: the sun is dying, and Earth is running out of time. With no other viable options, a global coalition recruits Ryland for a last-ditch mission into deep space, hoping his brilliant mind for molecular biology and knack for unconventional problem-solving might deliver the impossible.

Launched alone on a desperate interstellar journey built on educated guesses and blind hope, Ryland’s mission quickly becomes even stranger. After a mishap leaves him waking up among the stars with fragmented memories, he soon realizes he’s not quite as alone as he thought. Out there in the vastness of space, he encounters a peculiar alien lifeform made of rock, whom he fittingly names Rocky. Clearly intelligent and apparently sent on a similar mission of cosmic importance, the unlikely pair begin working together to solve a problem that threatens not just Earth, but possibly the entire universe. Suddenly, this Hail Mary pass has slightly better odds.

Co-starring Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest) as the steely government official who recruits Ryland for the impossible task, along with The Bear’s Lionel Boyce, Industry’s Ken Leung, and This Is Us’ Milana Vayntrub rounding out the cast, Project Hail Mary just might be one of next year’s most exciting sci-fi spectacles.

🎥 “Mermaid” Trailer: Johnny Pemberton Stars as a Down-and-Out Floridian Hiding a Mythical Sea Creature in This Darkly Quirky Comedy — Hitting Select Theaters April 8th

Do you love mermaid movies where a clueless human stumbles into a chance encounter with a mythical sea creature? Well, you’re in luck! There’s a new film on the horizon that might scratch that itch. Just don’t expect something like Splash. This one swims in darker, weirder waters and is likely headed in a very different direction.

The upcoming film Mermaid is a dark, offbeat comedy starring Johnny Pemberton (from the Amazon video game–based series Fallout) as Doug, a socially awkward, down-on-the-dumps Floridian whose life has completely unraveled with no clear path forward.

Divorced, broke, and freshly fired from his job tending the aquarium at a local strip club, Doug finds himself spiraling toward rock bottom. One day, he takes his boat out into the Gulf, ready to end the misery. But once in the middle of the ocean, he discovers something impossible; something he believes is an injured mermaid barely clinging to life, which changes his entire trajectory. Now Doug’s on a mission to protect his discovery, despite it looking like a mummified corpse he just fished out of the sea.

Written and directed by Tyler Cornack, the filmmaker behind the cult oddity Butt Boy and the anthology horror comedy Tiny Cinema, Mermaid takes the sideshow mythology and spins it on its head with a dark comedic twist. It asks: what if you stumbled across a mythical creature that looked less like a fantasy and more like something pulled from a dusty roadside attraction? Would you still believe it was real, even if you were drug-addled and spacing out at the time?

Joining Pemberton is a top-notch supporting cast that includes Robert Patrick, Kirk Fox, Kevin Nealon, Kevin Dunn, Tom Arnold, Julia Valentine Larson, and Avery Potemri.

Mermaid is set to hit select theaters on April 8th.

🎥 “Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice” Trailer: Vince Vaughn Faces His Future Self in This Time-Bending Action-Comedy with James Marsden & Eiza González — Premiering March 27th on Hulu/Disney+

Rarely have we seen anyone keep up with the fast wit of Vince Vaughn, but perhaps the wisecracking Wedding Crashers actor, known for his lightning-fast quips and banter, has finally met someone who can match his speed. And it just so happens to be... well, himself. A future version of himself, that is. Literally from the future. Vaughn plays Nick, a man confronted by a future version of himself—a time-traveling criminal who’s come back to take down his present-day self in order to avoid a doomed timeline, one where he meets his end because of his own foolish decisions.

James Marsden is along for the ride as Mike, Nick’s lovable dimwitted partner who can’t quite decide whether any of this is real... and worse yet, doesn’t quite know the word chloroform, referring to it only as “the wet rag thing” as they attempt to keep the other Nick incapacitated while future Nick takes charge of his own destiny. It makes for a pretty irresistible comic pairing. They’re just two guys way over their heads, arguing about semantics while the fate of their entire future hangs in the balance.

Eiza González rounds out the crew as Alice. And together, this gloriously mismatched trio goes by the only title that could possibly make sense of all this time-altering buffoonery: Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice.

Written and directed by BenDavid Grabinski, who previously helmed the dark romantic comedy Happily and co-created the acclaimed Netflix animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, this new R-rated action-comedy has Vaughn pulling double duty as both the present-day and future Nick: an ill-fated yet sharply dressed gangster who stumbles upon a time-travel machine and seizes the opportunity to rewrite some wrongs.

With the help of his partners Mike and Alice, Nick tries to course-correct the chain of events that lead to his demise, including stopping a cannibal assassin (played by Barry’s Stephen Root) sent specifically to kill them—which, all things considered, feels like a pretty reasonable thing to want to prevent. What begins as a desperate self-preservation scheme soon spirals into the kind of gloriously chaotic caper where the plan was never really the plan, and the only way out is through a version of yourself you’re not entirely sure you trust.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice is slated to make its world premiere next week at SXSW before arriving exclusively on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ on March 27th.

🎥 “Scary Movie” Trailer: Anna Faris, Regina Hall, and the Wayans Brothers Are Back to Roast Modern Horror Hits Like Sinners, Weapons, M3GAN, Smile, Terrifier and More — Hitting Theaters June 5th

Some popular horror franchises promise a final chapter... a final showdown to close things out once and for all. The Scary Movie series, on the other hand, promises the exact opposite. Even after nearly 13 years away, as long as horror movies keep multiplying, this franchise will keep coming back to slice them up.

Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall reunite as Shorty, Ray, Cindy, and Brenda, the quartet who turned slasher panic into punchlines back in 2000. Now the Core Four find themselves staring down a brand-new wave of horror trends in this long-awaited Scary Movie sequel, taking sharp jabs at everything from endless reboots and remakes to elevated horror and legacy sequels. And nothing is off the table, so expect some of your favorite horror franchises to land squarely in their crosshairs.

This new installment wastes no time sharpening its knives for the genre’s most recognizable tropes and newer horror hits like Sinners, Get Out, Smile, Weapons, M3GAN, Terrifier, and The Substance, among countless other references. Every sacred cow gets dragged onto the chopping block, kicking and screaming. And any horror franchise brave enough to slap the words “final chapter” on a poster... well, you know it will likely be the first target.

It’s been 26 years since the original Scary Movie burst onto the scene, turning horror trends into belly laughs and launching the movie careers of Anna Faris and Regina Hall. Now they’re back for another round of gleeful slasher genre mayhem. If the Scream franchise can rise from near extinction, why not this one too? Let the roasting begin.

Directed by Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House, Fifty Shades of Black), the film features a supporting cast that mixes familiar faces with fresh victims of the joke. Alongside the returning quartet are Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Dave Sheridan, and Lochlyn Munro, with Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Sydney Park, and more joining the fun.

So, in other words, the knives are out again… and this time they’re pointed at every horror trend of the past twenty years. Scary Movie hits theaters June 5th.

Through archival footage and candid interviews, the film traces how a soft-spoken producer transformed a late-night sketch show into a pop-cultural phenomenon. Sometimes the most influential voice is the one working behind the scenes... and rarely stepping in front of the camera.

🎥 “I Swear” U.S. Trailer: Robert Aramayo Battles Tourette Syndrome in Kirk Jones’ True-Story Drama Set in 1980s Scotland — Coming to U.S. Theaters April 24th

Recent BAFTA winner Robert Aramayo takes on a raw, transformative role in this true-story drama, starring as John Davidson, a young Scotsman whose severe and rare form of Tourette syndrome (causing him to involuntarily shout horrible obscenities) turns daily life into an unpredictable battlefield as he struggles through adolescence in 1980s Scotland. Maxine Peake portrays his fiercely protective mother, while Shirley Henderson and Peter Mullan appear as figures who challenge and guide him along the way. As stigma and misunderstanding become constant obstacles, the fight becomes less about controlling the disorder and more about embracing it and refusing to hide your own voice. The film was unfortunately caught in the middle of a recent BAFTA controversy, which seems to suggest that a story about understanding such a disorder is needed now more than ever.

As past and present intertwine beneath the same branches, personal loss and curiosity begin to reshape the characters’ understanding of nature and themselves.

🎥 “In a Violent Nature 2” Teaser Trailer: Johnny’s Rampage Reignites at a Remote Summer Camp in This POV Slasher Horror Sequel — Coming Soon

Has anyone ever stopped to consider what a menacing masked psycho with a large, rusty stabbing weapon might actually be seeing when he’s out there doing his dastardly deeds? Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, what have you. Has anyone ever wondered what that would look like through their eyes? What would it feel like to be the one doing the stalking instead of the screaming?

Well, special effects artist Chris Nash set out to answer that age-old question back in 2024 with his ultra-gory splatter film In a Violent Nature, which has since become an instant cult classic. Nash shot an entire horror movie from the slasher’s point of view, much in the vein of a first-person shooter video game. The result flipped the slasher formula on its blood-soaked head, locking us, the audience, behind the eyes of a silent, lumbering killer named Johnny, forcing us to march through the woods at his pace and witness the blood-splattering terror from his perspective.

It was a divisive film, to say the least, as some felt the slow, methodical pacing drained the slasher genre of its usual jolts and thrills, while others saw it as a bold, almost experimental reinvention of a tried-and-true formula. But hey, it felt like a one-off experiment. A curiosity. A gnarly little art-house slasher that did its thing and moved on. There’s no way that would come back with a sequel, right?

Ahhh, got you, sucker. Johnny’s back! And like all slasher films that came before, you can’t really stop the bloodstained mayhem. It just keeps going and going. Bury it, burn it, pretend it’s over... doesn’t matter. The nightmare never really ended.

In a Violent Nature 2 drags its silent slasher back into the forest, this time steering his slow, inevitable rampage toward a summer camp already primed for bad decisions. Directed by Nathaniel Wilson, with Chris Nash stepping aside to serve as writer and producer, the sequel once again plants us at ground level, where every snapped twig and heavy footstep feels less like a jump scare and more like a countdown.

Ry Barrett returns once again embodying the killer Johnny, alongside a fresh roster of new victims... er, cast members Lucas Nguyen, Olivia Scriven, Laurie Babin, Fionn Laird, Donald MacLean Jr., and Evan Marsh.

In a Violent Nature 2 will be coming soon. But knowing Johnny’s lumbering pace, he might take his sweet time getting here... and honestly, that’s half the dread.

🎥 “Faces of Death” Trailer: A Content Moderator Spirals Into a Disturbing Mystery in Filmmaker Daniel Goldhaber’s Algorithm-Era Reimagining of the Infamous Shock Franchise Starring Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery — Hitting Theaters April 10th

This might be hard to imagine, but there was a time when simply uttering the words “Faces of Death” conjured sweat-pouring panic and nerve-jingling terror. Anyone who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s remembers how those infamous VHS tapes felt like forbidden relics. They were whispered about on playgrounds, passed around at sleepovers, and treated like contraband you weren’t supposed to see but absolutely had to.

They weren’t just movies. They were urban legends in plastic clamshell cases. The kind of thing someone’s older cousin claimed to own. The kind of tape you’d pop into the VCR with one eye half-covered, bracing yourself for something you might never be able to unsee. In an era before the internet flattened shock value into a daily scroll, the mystique alone was enough. Was it real? Was it staged? Did it even matter? What mattered was the feeling… that queasy, heart-thumping sense that you were crossing a line just by pressing play.

Now fast forward 30 or 40 years, and by today’s standards, that kind of grotesque imagery isn’t considered forbidden or even particularly taboo anymore. We carry it around in our pockets like nothing. It’s just a scroll away from some of the most disturbing, real-world horrors imaginable. Unfiltered. Stripped of context. Served up between soda ads and silly dance challenges. Perhaps it’s the perfect time to revisit the Faces of Death franchise. Not to examine how those tapes changed, but how we have.

From filmmaker Daniel Goldhaber and producer-writer Isa Mazzei, following their incendiary How to Blow Up a Pipeline, this Faces of Death reimagining drags that old “is it real or staged?” anxiety into the algorithm age, where the horror doesn’t just live on screen — it spreads like a contagion. While the original tapes were clippings of raw news footage of accidents and murders (some real, some staged), this new horror redo appears to probe something far more insidious: our addiction to such imagery itself.

Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria, Bob Trevino Likes It) stars as a content moderator for a major video platform who stumbles across what look like reenactments of murders from the original cult shocker — only this time the line feels thinner, the stakes sharper. As the videos multiply and doubt creeps in, she’s forced to determine whether she’s watching performance art, a twisted homage… or violence unfolding in real time.

With Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Josie Totah (The Buccaneers), Aaron Holliday (Cocaine Bear), Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America), and pop star Charli XCX rounding out the ensemble, this contemporary take isn’t about grainy bootlegs anymore. It’s about viral feeds, weaponized misinformation, and the terrifying reality that once something is uploaded, it never truly disappears.

Faces of Death arrives in theaters April 10th.

🎥 “The Christophers” Trailer: Ian McKellen Plays a Reclusive Pop Art Painter Targeted by a Hired Forger in Steven Soderbergh’s New Art-World Dramedy with Michaela Coel — Opening in Select Theaters April 10th

Steven Soderbergh once claimed he was planning to retire from filmmaking about ten years ago. Since then, he has somehow morphed into one of the most prolific directors working today. He’s back again this year with his third feature film in two years and roughly his eleventh movie in the past decade alone. So Soderbergh just might have a different definition of retirement than the rest of us.

Soderbergh has certainly found that sweet spot of working with top-tier talent while still operating mostly independently and frequently collaborating with the same screenwriters. In this latest film, he once again teams up with writer Ed Solomon, following their 2021 crime thriller No Sudden Move as well as the twisty miniseries Full Circle and Mosaic.

In The Christophers, legendary actor Ian McKellen stars as Julian Sklar, a once-celebrated figure of London’s 1960s and ’70s pop art scene who hasn’t touched a canvas in decades and hasn’t seen a paycheck in years. Enter his estranged children, played by comedian James Corden and Baby Reindeer breakout Jessica Gunning, who see eight unfinished paintings in deep storage not as art, but as opportunity.

Their solution is Lori, a sharp art restorer and former forger played by I May Destroy You’s Michaela Coel, hired to pose as an assistant and secretly complete the buried canvases so they can later be “discovered” after Julian’s death.

It’s a plan built on deception, ego, and a ticking clock no one wants to acknowledge. With Soderbergh behind the camera and Solomon behind the script, this looks less like a simple con and more like a sharp character study about the uncomfortable question of who really owns an artist’s legacy when the paint has dried but the bills haven’t.

The Christophers is slated to open in select theaters on April 10th.

🎥 “Marc by Sofia” Trailer: Sofia Coppola Turns the Camera on Longtime Friend and Fashion Designer Marc Jacobs in Her First Documentary — Hitting Theaters March 27th

Filmmaker Sofia Coppola is known for creating intimate personal dramas that feel deeply revealing, yet still allow her to lean into the safety and space of fiction. Coppola never felt like someone entirely comfortable with the spotlight herself, which might explain why her films so often linger on characters caught between who they are and who the world expects them to be.

But for her first nonfiction feature, the Lost in Translation director appears to be stepping out from behind that veil, opening herself up as she turns the camera toward someone she has known for over three decades: fashion designer Marc Jacobs.

In Marc by Sofia, Sofia Coppola places herself inside the frame of this intimate documentary about her friend, whose relationship with the filmmaker seems to blur the line between collaborator and confidant, making the portrait feel less like a detached profile and more like a conversation they’ve been having ever since they first met. With shared influences and shared passions, drawing from the same cultural touchstones, this doc plays less like a formal chronicle and more like two friends opening the doors and letting audiences eavesdrop on a creative dialogue that’s been unfolding for decades. And who knew casting a film is so close to setting a runway; both are about instinct, silhouette, and finding the right face to define the entire mood.

When a filmmaker known for mood and interiority turns her lens on a designer who helped define modern luxury, the result feels less like a career retrospective and more like a dialogue between two artists. And sometimes, that’s where the real story lives.

Marc by Sofia is hitting theaters March 27th. Come for the fashion, but stay for the friendship.

🎥 “Over Your Dead Body” Trailer: Samara Weaving and Jason Segel Plot Each Other’s Demise in Director Jorma Taccone’s Darkly Comic Marriage-on-the-Rocks Thriller — Hitting Theaters April 24th

Nothing says “marriage counseling” like a weekend getaway where both spouses intend to exact a murder plan.

Samara Weaving and Jason Segel star in this darkly comic thriller as a deeply dysfunctional couple retreating to a remote cabin under the guise of reconnecting, all while privately plotting to eliminate each other. Before either can pull the trigger, a pair of unexpected visitors crash the party, turning their carefully laid schemes into something far more chaotic (and far more complicated) than either of them bargained for. They say love can make you do crazy things, but they never warn you about what happens when the love runs out and all that’s left is resentment and a weekend bag packed with something far more dangerous than clean socks.

Over Your Dead Body is the American remake of the 2021 Norwegian cult dark comedy-thriller Onde Dager (aka The Trip) from Violent Night director Tommy Wirkola, which starred Aksel Hennie and Noomi Rapace as the doomed couple. This version, however, hails from Lonely Island comedian Jorma Taccone (Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, MacGruber), who directs from an adapted script by Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, the comedic sketch duo behind BriTANicK.

Co-starring Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, and Paul Guilfoyle, Over Your Dead Body is slated to make its world premiere next month at SXSW ahead of its theatrical release on April 24th. Watch it with someone you love... just maybe not someone you’re currently plotting against. Just to be safe.

🎥 “A Prayer for the Dying” Teaser Trailer: Johnny Flynn and John C. Reilly Confront Plague and Wildfire in Dara Van Dusen’s Stark Frontier Drama — Premiering at the Berlin International Film Festival

When they say life in the Old West was nearly insufferable, believe it... because out there, survival wasn’t a lifestyle choice, it was a daily coin toss on who got to live and who got buried before sundown.

Based on Stewart O’Nan’s historical novel, A Prayer for the Dying is a stark depiction of 1870s America, where building a new life on the frontier meant gambling everything against forces you couldn’t see, couldn’t control, and almost certainly couldn’t outrun.

Set in the small 1870s Scandinavian emigrant community of Friendship, Wisconsin, British actor Johnny Flynn (The Outfit, Emma., Netflix’s Ripley) stars as Jacob Hansen, a Civil War survivor chasing the promise of peace on American soil. What he finds instead is a town under siege: first by a deadly epidemic sweeping the region, then by a relentless wildfire, each disaster testing a man’s faith just as fiercely as his resolve.

The always reliable and always fascinating John C. Reilly co-stars as the town’s lone doctor, who soon finds himself overwhelmed by the sheer scale of disease spreading like a wildfire. He is forced to choose between compassion and containment as the sickness becomes too much for one man to handle. And with quarantine mandated, the town is cut off from the outside world, left to fend for itself as fear, faith, and desperation begin to spread just as fast as the infection itself.

Serving as sheriff, undertaker, and pastor, Flynn’s Jacob becomes the last line of defense between order and collapse, forcing him to make life-and-death decisions that ripple through his family and neighbors. But something tells us he, too, will soon be buckling under the weight of it all. Because when a man is asked to hold a town together, it’s only a matter of time before the cracks begin to show. And as townsfolk start leaving on their own, risking both infection and exposure, the fragile idea of community begins to splinter under pressure.

Produced by the team behind Sentimental Value and The Worst Person in the World, New York-born Norwegian filmmaker Dara Van Dusen makes her explosive feature debut as writer-director of this stark period piece that looks as unforgiving as its subject matter. The film just made its world premiere last week at the Berlin International Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Best First Feature Award. As of yet, there’s no official release date.

🎥 “Our Hero, Balthazar” Teaser Trailer: Jaeden Martell Heads to Texas to Confront a Possible Mass Shooter in Oscar Boyson’s Sharp Social Satire with Asa Butterfield — Coming to Theaters This Spring

There’s nothing more risky than a teenager convinced he’s the hero of his own story.

In Our Hero, Balthazar, a razor-sharp social satire that skewers online virtue, clout-chasing, and the intoxicating rush of performative activism, Jaeden Martell (IT: Chapter One, IT: Chapter Two) stars as Balthazar, a wealthy, self-styled crusader who posts fiery pro-gun-control videos to impress his high school crush, and maybe rack up a little moral superiority along the way.

But when an anonymous troll starts mocking him at every turn, Balthazar’s digital crusade spirals into obsession. Convinced the troll — a gun-obsessed teen named Solomon, played by Sex Education breakout Asa Butterfield — is a potential mass shooter in the making, Balthazar does what any impulsive, overconfident internet activist might do: he heads to Texas to confront the threat himself.

What he finds isn’t exactly the cartoon villain he imagined. In some ways, Solomon fits the profile Balthazar built in his head. In others, he’s just another lonely kid performing for an audience of none. Oddly, the two teens form a peculiar, uneasy bond that blurs the lines between paranoia and projection, righteousness and recklessness. The result looks less like a traditional thriller and more like a cringe-inducing character study about how badly we want to be seen as the “good guy,” yet fail to recognize when we’ve quietly become the self-righteous douchebag we swore we’d never be.

Indie producer Oscar Boyson — the creative force behind volatile, anxiety-fueled gems like Good Time and Uncut Gems — makes his feature directorial debut here. And from the looks of things, he’s channeling that same nerve-jangling energy into a timely portrait of modern America, where outrage travels fast and self-awareness lags behind, asking how far someone will go to prove they’re the hero of their own feed.

Our Hero, Balthazar will be coming to theaters this spring.

What begins as a simple trip turns into an emotional reckoning, where backstage chatter and spotlight pressure amplify everything left unsaid. With Ethan Hawke, Sonequa Martin-Green, Mackenzie Ziegler, and Rosemarie DeWitt rounding out the cast, actor Rick Gomez makes his feature directorial debut, co-penning the script with Zahn for this heartfelt coming-of-age drama that suggests healing doesn’t arrive with applause, but in the quiet, unguarded moments between two people learning how to be a family again.

What begins as a calculated bid for prom queen spirals into a dangerous unraveling as friendships shift, identity fractures, and the cost of reinvention becomes too much.

🎥 “Forbidden Fruits” Trailer: Lili Reinhart Leads a Mall Coven in This Diablo Cody-Produced Witch Satire with Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp & Lola Tung — Debuting at SXSW and Opening in Theaters March 27th

A coven of witches conjures up a certain image in one’s mind, perhaps one where three decrepit old ladies hover over a black cauldron inside a darkened cave. Well, erase that. Because this time around, the broomsticks have been traded for beauty counters, the spell books are tucked behind pastel storefront displays, and the real ritual happens after closing time at the local mall.

Premiering at this year’s SXSW Film Festival, Forbidden Fruits is a pastel-soaked dark comedy with a witchy edge. Directed by Meredith Alloway (Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween: First Date) and produced by Oscar-winner Diablo Cody, of Juno and Jennifer’s Body fame, this mall-set coven thriller stars Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart as Apple, a relentlessly chipper employee at suburban mall boutique Free Eden who, by night, is the high priestess of a hyper-feminine witch cult where sisterhood is sacred and loyalty is enforced in blood.

Apple leads her devoted “fruits,” including Cherry (Victoria Pedretti, of The Haunting of Bly Manor) and Fig (Alexandra Shipp, of X-Men and Barbie), in after-hours ceremonies involving goat’s milk, truffle oil, and a shared fantasy of overthrowing management. It’s sisterhood as performance art. All soft colors and wickedly sharp intentions.

But when new hire Pumpkin (Lola Tung, of Amazon’s The Summer I Turned Pretty) enters the fold, bringing a new energy of snark and defiance, the group’s curated harmony starts to crack. Resentments simmer. Loyalties wobble. And what began as empowerment with a wink threatens to spiral into something far more dangerous and feral.

Think a cross between Mean Girls and The Craft, with a dash of Heathers, Practical Magic, and Jawbreaker thrown in for good measure.

Influencer Emma Chamberlain co-stars alongside Gabrielle Union, rounding out the cast. The screenplay is written by Alloway and Lily Houghton, based on Houghton’s own play, which appears to revel in the absurdity of corporate bubblegum femininity while skewering the fragility of performative sisterhood.

Following its world premiere at SXSW next month, Forbidden Fruits will head to theaters on March 27th, followed by a streaming release on Shudder at a later date.

🎥 “Obsession” New Teaser Trailer: Viral Filmmaker Curry Barker Reimagines the Monkey’s Paw Curse as a Twisted Supernatural Thriller Starring Michael Johnston and Inde Navarrette — Arriving in Theaters May 15th

Quick question: Would you rather have someone love you and truly mean it… or have someone love you and just say they mean it? Because if we’re being honest, those are two very different things.

The upcoming supernatural thriller Obsession explores just how much some are willing to give up just to hear the words “I love you,” even when those words don’t mean a damn thing.

Part cautionary fable and part dark, twisty horror romance, Michael Johnston (from MTV’s Teen Wolf) stars as Bear, a lonely music store clerk who purchases a mysterious supernatural trinket known as the “One Wish Willow” in hopes of finally winning over his longtime crush, Nikki, played by Superman & Lois standout Inde Navarrette. But love, as Bear quickly learns, can either bloom naturally or be forced into existence with terrifying side effects. And when affection is magically manufactured, consent and consequence get tangled fast. Now just having someone say “I love you” isn’t the dream come true he imagined… it’s the beginning of a nightmare where every whispered word feels hollow, if not downright terrifying.

Reworking the classic monkey paw’s curse with a modern twist, writer-director Curry Barker examines how control can be disguised as devotion and how the desire to be loved can twist into utter obsession.

Making his feature debut with Obsession, Barker is the 25-year-old viral filmmaker behind the breakout found-footage short Milk & Serial, an internet phenomenon that not only launched his first feature but also sparked a multimillion-dollar deal with Focus Features, along with a two-picture pact with Blumhouse honcho Jason Blum. Barker comes on the heels of other YouTube filmmakers who are carving out real estate in Hollywood, proving that popular internet content can, in fact, translate into legitimate studio opportunities.

Co-starring Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter, Obsession hits theaters May 15th.

🎥 “California Schemin’” International Trailer: Two Scottish Dreamers Reinvent Themselves as West Coast Rappers in James McAvoy’s Stranger-Than-Fiction Hip-Hop Biopic Starring Samuel Bottomley and Séamus McLean Ross — Arriving in U.K. Theaters April 10th

How far would you go to achieve your lifelong dream? Would you pretend to be American rappers and tour around Britain and Europe in a complete lie? Hey, as far as hoaxes go, this one wasn’t exactly the crime of the century. But this stranger-than-fiction true story about how two Scottish knuckleheads were able to convince the entire British music industry that they were legit West Coast hip-hop artists is the kind of tale that makes you both shake your head and slow-clap their sheer audacity.

Marking the directorial debut of James McAvoy, California Schemin’ is a new hip-hop biopic that dramatizes the most infamous music hoax of all time, perhaps only second to Milli Vanilli. This is the outrageous true story of Silibil N’ Brains, a Scottish rap duo who, in the early 2000s, couldn’t get anyone to take them seriously with their natural accents... so they reinvented themselves as West Coast American MCs. Fake accents. Fake backstories. But very real ambition. And what do you know? They took off like a rocket.

Samuel Bottomley (Ladhood) and Séamus McLean Ross (Outlander: Blood of My Blood) star as Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd, two best mates mocked off a London stage for daring to rhyme in Scottish brogues. So they do what any scrappy dreamers might do when the industry laughs in their faces: they double down and commit to the bit. Donning flimsy California drawls, they tour the U.K. as the next big American rap import. They somehow land a record deal and the slot to open for Eminem. And for a brief moment, the con works. Until it doesn’t.

McAvoy co-stars as their slightly unhinged record-label boss, leaning into the chaos as the lie spirals into a full-time fabrication. Also featuring James Corden, Amber Anderson, and Jennifer Winn, the film is based on Bain’s autobiography Straight Outta Scotland and builds on the story first explored in the 2014 documentary The Great Hip Hop Hoax.

After premiering last year at TIFF to strong reviews, California Schemin’ now heads to U.K. theaters on April 10. No U.S. release date yet. But we imagine the star power of James McAvoy will eventually land a U.S. distributor sooner or later.

🎥 “The Magic Faraway Tree” New International Trailer: Claire Foy and Andrew Garfield Discover a Storybook World Above the Clouds in Simon Farnaby’s Whimsical Adaptation of Enid Blyton’s Classic Children’s Books — Arriving in UK Cinemas March 27th

Sometimes the best escape isn’t a vacation. It’s a tree. A faraway tree tucked deep inside a magical forest, waiting to be climbed.

In this new British fantasy comedy adventure The Magic Faraway Tree, Claire Foy and Andrew Garfield play parents who relocate their family to the English countryside for a quiet reset, only for their children to stumble upon something extraordinary towering in the nearby woods.

That “something” is the Faraway Tree; a magical gateway to ever-changing lands perched high above the clouds. Each branch opens into a new fantastical realm populated by eccentric characters like Moonface (Nonso Anozie; of Sweet Tooth), Dame Washalot (Jessica Gunning; of Baby Reindeer), and Silky (Nicola Coughlan; of Bridgerton).

It’s the kind of story that feels plucked straight from a dusty storybook shelf and given a modern polish. And, well... it kind of is. The film adapts Enid Blyton’s beloved children’s novel series, where curious kids climb into surreal, candy-colored worlds high above the tree line, discovering lands that shift as quickly as imagination itself.

Adapted for the screen by Simon Farnaby (the sly, warm-hearted mind behind Paddington 2) and directed by British TV helmer Ben Gregor (whose credits include Brassic, Cuckoo, and The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret), the film looks poised to deliver a family spectacle with that distinctly British blend of charm and cheekiness.

The Magic Faraway Tree is slated to open in UK cinemas on March 27th. As of now, there’s no official U.S. release date.

As the chase stretches across state lines, justice twists into obsession, and the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that the man she’s tracking is playing by rules no badge can contain. From screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, of Se7en fame, this nerve-shredding cat-and-mouse spiral suggests some predators aren’t running from the law… they’re daring it to follow them into the dark.

🎥 “Los Lobos: Native Sons” Teaser: The Iconic East L.A. Band Gets a Definitive 50-Year Chronicle in This Authorized Music Documentary — Premiering This March at SXSW

Some bands don’t just play music... they rewrite the soundtrack of an entire culture. In this definitive, authorized documentary from filmmakers Piero F. Giunti and Doug Blush, Los Lobos’ fifty-year journey unfolds from East L.A. backyard weddings and quinceañeras to the White House and stages around the world. With intimate archive access and candid reflections from figures like Linda Ronstadt, Rubén Blades, Tom Waits, Dolores Huerta, and Cheech Marin, the film captures the brotherhood behind a genre-defying sound that fused rock, L.A. roots, and Mexican tradition into something unmistakably their own. This isn’t just a celebration of endurance; it’s a reminder that heritage, when amplified, can echo far beyond the neighborhood it started in.

🎥 “Sandiwara” Trailer: Michelle Yeoh Embodies Five Characters in Sean Baker’s iPhone-Shot Short Film — Premiering at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival

Following his Oscar win for Anora, indie filmmaker Sean Baker returns to scrappy experimentation, once again shooting on an iPhone for this 11-minute short starring Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh. Set against the vibrant backdrop of a Malaysian city, Yeoh transforms into five distinct women: an influencer, a food critic, a chef, a restaurant server, and a singer; each moving through the city on separate tracks until their stories begin to quietly intersect. Written, directed, shot, and edited by Baker, this lyrical character study turns bustling streets into an intimate canvas, suggesting that identity isn’t something we perform once, but something we keep rediscovering.

Mark Jenkin, the Cornish auteur behind cult favorites Enys Men and Bait, returns with another hypnotically eerie folk thriller steeped in salt air and superstition. Shot in his unmistakable vintage aesthetic, the film stars Callum Turner and George Mackay as two desperate men who sign on to work aboard a fishing vessel that vanished thirty years ago without a trace, only to suddenly reappear in the harbor as if it never left. Once they set sail, the tide turns, and the pair discover the sea has carried them backward in time. Mistaken for the ship’s original sailors, they’re forced to inhabit a history that never resolved, where memory and fate blur like ripples across dark water. Shot in Jenkin’s signature old-timey style, this haunted maritime tale suggests some voyages don’t move forward… and sometimes the past doesn’t drift away. It waits.

Love can be maddening... especially when the person you fell for accidentally hands you the wrong phone number. A simple texting mix-up sparks a campus-wide quest when a lovesick musician named Owen (Spike Fearn) realizes he’s been pouring his heart out to the wrong girl in this charming British rom-com about chasing the idea of a dream girl. He soon teams up with Sami (Angourie Rice), a sharp, hyper-focused psychology student writing a paper on the ills of romantic attachment, to track down his supposed soulmate, fellow student Emily. What begins as a harmless search quickly snowballs into a viral tale of unrequited love that sweeps through the university. But as the frenzy grows, so do the unexpected feelings neither Owen nor Sami planned for, forcing them to question whether destiny was ever about the girl he was chasing... or the one standing beside him all along. Directed by Alicia MacDonald and written by Rachel Hirons, with Minnie Driver co-starring, this is a reminder that the heart rarely follows a straight line.

The wine is flowing again, and so is the chaos. In this fourth chapter of the cult comedy franchise (albeit a totally fake franchise that never actually existed), Jack Jr. (Nick Corirossi) and his reluctant co-captain Miles Jr. (Armen Weitzman) reunite the Napa Boys for one last Wine Wagon misadventure after a cryptic mission is handed down by a shadowy figure known only as “The Sommelier.” Joined by Puck, an overeager podcaster and self-proclaimed superfan, the crew barrels headfirst into an absurd, wine-soaked quest that quickly spirals beyond their control. As egos clash and loyalties wobble, the gang must decide whether they’re legends in the making or just hungover history. Think Wet Hot American Summer meets Sideways; a parody franchise where the canon is bogus but the laughs are very, very real.

As Romy pushes past indifferent police and tight-lipped locals, she finds herself entangled with a charismatic stranger (Benoît Magimel) whose charm masks something far more unsettling. And the deeper she digs, the less certain it becomes that anyone wants her to leave with the truth.

🎥 “Yes” Trailer: A Jazz Musician (Ariel Bronz) Faces the Cost of Nationalism in Nadav Lapid’s Biting Political Satire About Art and Propaganda — Hitting U.S. Theaters March 27th

Filmmaker Nadav Lapid, one of Israeli cinema’s most confrontational voices, returns with a sharp, biting political satire that questions the government’s shift toward brutal nationalism in the wake of a national tragedy. In his latest audacious effort, Ariel Bronz stars as Y., a jazz musician who, alongside his dancer wife (Efrat Dor), pledges total compliance to a nation in crisis, offering their talent to the very establishment Lapid has long challenged. The film begins as provocation but deepens into a study of artistic surrender, as Y. is commissioned to compose a soaring national anthem meant to unify his countrymen, despite his own doubts about the government’s response to October 7th. As art and artistic integrity become folded into a propaganda machine, the film interrogates how easily dissent can be absorbed by the very systems it seeks to resist.

Pop star Charli XCX continues her move into acting, starring alongside Lena Góra in this simmering, Polish-set relationship drama from music video director–turned–indie filmmaker Pete Ohs (Everything Beautiful Is Far Away, Jethica). When Bethany (Charli XCX) returns to Warsaw with her new boyfriend (Will Madden), she unsettles the carefully arranged life of her childhood friend Nel (Góra), who works quietly at a neighborhood flower shop. What follows is less a warm reunion than a slow emotional detonation, as old intimacy rubs against new loyalties and unresolved feelings begin to surface. As tensions rise and friendships fracture, the metaphorical eruption becomes impossible to ignore.

🎥 “Omaha” Trailer: A Father’s Road Trip Hides a Hard Truth in This 2008-Set Coming-of-Age Drama Starring John Magaro — Opening in New York April 24th, Expanding Nationwide in May

In this quiet coming-of-age drama, John Magaro plays a father who wakes his children before dawn and steers them across the American West, telling Ella (Molly Belle Wright) and her younger brother Charlie (Wyatt Solis) just enough to keep the engine running while the truth trails close behind. As the miles stretch on and the weight of a 2008 foreclosure settles in, Ella begins to understand that this road trip isn’t spontaneous… it’s survival. Directed by Cole Webley and written by Robert Machoian, this tender family portrait suggests that growing up sometimes means realizing home isn’t a fixed destination but something already slipping further into the rearview mirror.

In this self-aware documentary, Jaws: The Revenge stars Lance Guest and Mario Van Peebles resurface to confront the sequel’s long-standing reputation, joined by filmmaker Kevin Smith, comedian James “Murr” Murray and others as they unpack how a widely panned franchise chapter somehow earned cult endurance. Built from fan passion and crowdfunded momentum, this indie retrospective leans into the legacy of a film once dismissed as the shark that sank the series, only to discover that time has a funny way of rewriting failure, or at least giving it a long-overdue reexamination.

When a crew of thrill-seeking urban explorers known as the Creepers break into New Jersey’s abandoned Paragon Hotel, they expect ghosts, mob lore, and maybe a buried fortune rumored to be worth $300 million. Instead, they find rival treasure hunters, fractured loyalties, and something far more predatory stalking the halls in this savage horror thriller starring Jake Manley, Adeline Rudolph, Francesca Reale, and Javier Botet. The only thing scarier than the dark is how far they’re willing to go for views.

Traveling to Miami, New York, and Marbella, he meets controversial influencers including Myron Gaines, Sneako, Justin Waller, Ed Matthews, and Harrison Sullivan, whose ultra-masculine messaging is reshaping how young men define identity and power. With his trademark patience and disarming style, Theroux presses on ideas like “red-pilling,” probing both the appeal and the consequences of this resurgent men’s rights movement.

Following conservation biologist Dr. Steve Boyes, the film traces a decade-long pursuit of a rumored herd of Ghost Elephants said to roam unseen through remote forest highlands.

🎥 “Project Hail Mary” Final Trailer: Ryan Gosling on a Desperate Space Mission to Save Earth When He Meets an Unlikely Ally — Hitting Theaters March 20th

The fate of all humanity lies in the hands of one man... and his name is Ryan Gosling. And he’s about to throw a Hail Mary.

In this darkly comic sci-fi space thriller based on the best-selling novel by Andy Weir (of The Martian fame), planet Earth is on its last leg. Scientists have made a terrifying discovery: the sun is dying, and time is already running out. Left with no other choice, a government coalition decides to recruit Ryland Grace (Gosling), an unassuming middle-school science teacher from Cleveland, as their last, best hope to pull off the impossible. Despite his lack of traditional academic credentials, Ryland is a brilliant molecular biologist whose out-of-the-box thinking and relentless curiosity may be exactly what this last-chance assignment needs.

Launched on a desperate deep-space solo mission built entirely on educated guesses and blind hope, Ryland sets off to seek a possible remedy to slow down or stop the sun’s inevitable collapse. But his voyage takes a strange turn when a mishap leaves him waking up among the stars with a fractured memory, only to realize he’s not exactly all alone. He encounters a strange little space alien made of rock, whom he soon aptly names Rocky. Clearly an intelligent being and likely sent into space on a similar mission, Rocky and Ryland become an unlikely duo as they team up to see if they can save the universe before it’s too late. Now this Hail Mary attempt just got slightly better odds.

Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), written by The Martian scribe Drew Goddard, and co-starring Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest) as the no-nonsense government official who recruits Ryland, Project Hail Mary is slated to open nationwide on March 20th.

🎥 “Minions & Monsters” Trailer: Illumination Sends Its Lovable Menaces on a Meta Mission to Build the Biggest Monster Movie Ever — Opening in Theaters July 1st

If you want to make a monster movie, then your first step is simple: get yourself a monster. And the bigger, the better.

Those yellow, gibberish-talking… wait, what are they, really… Twinkie-looking creatures? Yeah, those damn Minions are back this summer. And yes, it will likely make truckloads of cash, because at this point it feels like this animated franchise simply prints money, no matter how ridiculous it becomes. People can’t get enough of this brand of slapstick tomfoolery, where pratfalls, nonsense language, and weaponized cuteness somehow keep audiences showing up again and again.

This time, in Minions & Monsters, the third Minions movie and the seventh overall entry in the Despicable Me franchise, Hollywood has come calling. It’s very meta. The Minion gang gets it into their heads to make their own kaiju feature film. So, naturally, they set off in search of the perfect monster to headline their epic. Of course, nothing goes as planned, as their global hunt quickly spirals into total disorder and the kind of buffoonery only Minions could mistake for filmmaking.

Pierre Coffin, the Academy Award–nominated filmmaker who directed the first three Despicable Me films and the original Minions, returns to the helm; once again providing the iconic Minion gibberish voices. The screenplay comes from Brian Lynch (Minions, The Secret Life of Pets) and Coffin, with Illumination founder Chris Meledandri producing.

More than a decade after their creation, the Minions remain some of the most recognizable animated icons on the planet. Their combined global box office—spanning the Despicable Me and Minions franchises—has surged past $5.6 billion, making this joyful yellow army one of the most successful animated brands in film history. Why they’ve endured quite like this is still a mystery... other than the undeniable fact that people really, really like to laugh at them.

Minions & Monsters opens in theaters July 1st. Lights, camera, Minions!

🎥 “Supergirl” Puppy Bowl Trailer: Kara Zor-El Meets Her Pup Krypto Before Beginning a Wild, Galaxy-Hopping Journey — Hitting Theaters June 26th

Lest you think Krypto is Superman’s dog, this new Super Bowl Puppy Bowl trailer is here to set the record straight. He’s very much Supergirl’s pooch... well, at least in James Gunn’s vision of DC. Check out the first moment Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) comes face-to-snout with her soon-to-be four-legged sidekick, who’ll eventually be tagging along on all her drunken, planet-hopping jaunts.

Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya and Cruella), and following Gunn’s Superman as only the second live-action film to emerge from the new DC cinematic universe, Supergirl follows Alcock’s Kara Zor-El as she continues grappling with the immense loss of her home planet, Krypton, including the death of everyone she ever loved. She soon stumbles across a young, vengeful girl, Eve Ridley (Ruthye Marye Knoll), who seeks her help in avenging her father’s death. Before long, the unlikely pair (and Krypto too) are traveling across the galaxy in search of Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), the savage space pirate who slaughtered Eve’s family. Well, they say misery loves company... especially when that company comes with a shared history of tragically annihilated families.

The film, which appears to include flashbacks to Krypton in its final days, is already stirring excitement thanks to the casting of Jason Momoa as Lobo, the ultra-badass alien bounty hunter and longtime fan-favorite DC comics character finally making his big-screen debut.

Supergirl flies into theaters this summer, starting June 26th.

🎥 “Disclosure Day” Super Bowl Trailer: Steven Spielberg Returns to Alien Obsession as a Hidden Truth Threatens to Go Public in His New Mystery Thriller Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, and More — Opening in Theaters June 12th

The truth can be a dangerous thing. But it can be much worse when there are attempts to prevent it from coming out. Steven Spielberg’s latest film may be steeped in sci-fi and mystery, but it’s very much tapping into something we’re all talking about right now: the state of transparency; and why some desperately need it while others fear it.

In Disclosure Day, for which a Super Bowl trailer has been released offering another detailed look at Spielberg’s much-anticipated feature, Emily Blunt plays an unassuming Midwest weather woman whose quiet life is shattered when she’s presented with undeniable proof of non-human intelligence already living among us. Josh O’Connor enters as the volatile human variable in the equation, carrying evidence that could either enlighten the world or send it spiraling.

The film not only marks Spielberg’s reunion with longtime writing collaborator David Koepp (Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds), but also a return to the subject matter of UFOs and extraterrestrial life that defined many of Spielberg’s earlier works.

Co-starring Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Wyatt Russell, Disclosure Day is slated to open in theaters June 12th. So mark those calendars, ’cuz the truth is not only out there... it’s coming soon.

🎥 “The Mandalorian and Grogu” Super Bowl Trailer: Star Wars’ Beloved Duo Saddles Up for a Big-Screen Space Western — Hitting Theaters May 22nd

Super Bowl watchers were given a special look at The Mandalorian and Grogu, the highly anticipated Star Wars spinoff movie that acts as a feature-length extension of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian streaming series, which has already run for three seasons. While this footage doesn’t appear to come directly from the film itself—playing more like a parody of those classic Budweiser Clydesdales Super Bowl ads—it does serve as a reminder of why the show connected so strongly with fans in the first place: the chemistry between Pedro Pascal’s stoic Mandalorian gunslinger and his pint-sized, Force-sensitive foundling, Grogu.

With Favreau handling directing duties from a script he co-wrote with Filoni, the film finds Mando and Grogu hired by Sigourney Weaver’s hardened New Republic colonel to hunt down lingering Imperial warlords exploiting the power vacuum left behind after the fall of the Empire. Among them is Rotta the Hutt, heir to Jabba’s criminal legacy; proof that old power structures never really die. Jabba’s son is played by The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White via motion capture, which may mark the first time an actor has gone from playing “the Boss” to a Hutt.

Leaning into the pulpy sci-fi space western side of the franchise, complete with plenty of blaster-heavy showdowns and planet-hopping treks, The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming to theaters on May 22nd.

🎥 “The Adventures of Cliff Booth” Super Bowl Trailer: Brad Pitt Returns as Tarantino’s Laid-Back Stuntman in This 1970s Hollywood Crime Comedy Directed by David Fincher — Coming to Netflix Later This Year

Brad Pitt is reprising one of his most iconic film characters: Cliff Booth! A role that not only earned him his first and only Oscar (so far), but also sends Pitt back into the sun-bleached 1970s Hollywood world of Quentin Tarantino; only this time under the meticulous direction of David Fincher. Marking Fincher and Pitt’s fourth collaboration following The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), Fight Club (1999), and Se7en (1995), the upcoming period crime comedy is a rare Tarantino project where he wrote the screenplay himself but didn’t direct it, and one of the few official sequels to his own films.

Set roughly eight years after the events of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the story finds Cliff Booth, a professional stuntman turned laid-back fixer, crossing paths with a new orbit of eccentrics, hustlers, and hangers-on as Los Angeles slides from the fading glamour of Tinseltown into something grittier, meaner, and far less romantic. Also starring Elizabeth Debicki, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Carla Gugino, Scott Caan, and Holt McCallany, with Timothy Olyphant returning as TV western star James Stacy, the film promises a bruised, lived-in portrait of a city—and a man—trying to survive the hangover of Hollywood’s golden age.

The Adventures of Cliff Booth (tentative title) is coming later this year, via Netflix.

🎥 “Hoppers” Super Bowl Trailer: A Teen Girl Becomes a Robotic Beaver in Disney-Pixar’s Animated Animal Uprising Comedy — Coming to Theaters March 6th

If animals could finally talk back, humans might not like what they have to say—no matter how adorable they look. Disney-Pixar offers a high-concept romp that asks: who does the fox say... and what do other wild critters really think about us?

This animated eco-adventure follows a curious teenage girl (voiced by Piper Curda) who accidentally uploads her consciousness into a hyper-realistic robotic beaver, embedding herself deep inside the wild. Living among fed-up forest creatures, she quickly learns that centuries of human damage haven’t gone unnoticed, and their patience is officially gone.

Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, and Demetri Martin lend comic bite as part of a furry resistance that’s equal parts adorable and ruthless. Written and directed by Daniel Chong, the story reframes environmental commentary as a rebellious coming-of-age tale with slapstick instincts and sharp teeth. Because sometimes saving the environment starts by gnawing straight through the problem.

Hoppers lands in theaters March 6th, with early screenings set for February 28th.

🎥 “Scream 7” Super Bowl Trailer: Neve Campbell Faces Ghostface Once Again When the Past Targets Sidney Prescott’s Family — In Theaters February 27th

Sidney can run from the past, but the past always seems to know her number. Only this time, Sidney isn’t the only one in her family being chased.

This upcoming legacy sequel brings back Neve Campbell as franchise frontwoman Sidney Prescott, the battle-tested Ghostface survivor forced out of the quiet life she fought to earn. When a new masked killer targets her teenage daughter (played by Isabel May), the horror shifts from survival to protection, turning motherhood into the ultimate vulnerability.

Courteney Cox also returns as razor-sharp reporter Gale Weathers, while Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy Brown rejoin the blood-soaked cycle as the Meeks-Martin twins; characters who know the rules, but also know they don’t always work. With franchise architect Kevin Williamson stepping behind the camera and co-writing alongside Guy Busick, the film strips the meta mythology back to raw fear and unfinished business. Because when Ghostface comes home, no final girl ever really gets a happy ending.

Scream 7 hits theaters February 27th.

🎥 “Fuze” International Trailer: A Citywide Evacuation Becomes the Perfect Cover for a High-Stakes Heist in This British Crime Thriller Starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Theo James — Coming to UK Cinemas April 3rd

London has a ticking bomb that’s about to go off… but look a little closer and there’s something else quietly counting down. In this high-pressure British crime thriller, authorities order a citywide evacuation after a long-forgotten World War II bomb brings central London to a standstill. 28 Years Later’s Aaron Taylor-Johnson leads a military bomb disposal unit racing against time, while The Monkey’s Theo James plays a smooth, calculating diamond smuggler with a very different plan. Using the evacuation as cover, the professional thief and his crew attempt a daring in-and-out diamond heist, while the bomb expert and his team are simultaneously pushed to the brink in a powder keg of parallel tension and spiraling disorder. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) and co-starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw as the city’s chief metro superintendent, all of London is holding its breath—because the real explosion may not come from the bomb itself, but from what happens when precision, pressure, and greed all detonate at once.

🎥 “Exit 8” U.S. Trailer: A Simple Subway Commute Becomes a Torture Maze in This Tense Japanese Psychological Horror Based on the Hit Video Game — In Theaters April 10th

Miss one exit, and you’re right back where you started. It might as well be a nightmare that never ends. This Japanese psychological horror thriller turns an ordinary commute into a precision-engineered nightmare, where observation is survival and doubt is the real enemy. Kazunari Ninomiya stars in this video game–based horror film as a man trapped inside an endless subway corridor, forced to question every sign, every face, and every flicker of light as paranoia slowly takes hold. Adapted from a viral video game by Kotake Create and directed by Genki Kawamura, the story weaponizes repetition and restraint, letting routine become its own form of torment. Just remember: the next time you decide to take the subway, keep your eyes peeled, because you never know when the last exit is already behind you.

🎥 “Crazy Old Lady” Trailer: A Caretaker’s Good Intentions Spiral Into Terror in This Spanish-language Horror Produced by J.A. Bayona — Premiering February 27th on Shudder

From producer J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage, Society of the Snow) comes this new Spanish-language psychological horror thriller about a well-meaning man who finds himself trapped inside a crumbling apartment after agreeing to watch over an elderly woman who was never supposed to be alone. Daniel Hendler stars as the reluctant caretaker, pulled deeper into domestic purgatory as the building’s resident “crazy old lady,” Alicia (Carmen Maura), shifts from fragile to frightening. What begins as compassion slowly hardens into captivity, as control changes hands one small boundary at a time. Written and directed by Martín Mauregui, this slow-burn nightmare makes one thing painfully clear: some doors aren’t meant to be opened, and doors locked from the outside are shut for a reason.

🎥 “Faces of Death” Teaser: The Infamous Cult Shocker Gets a Modern Reimagining Updated for the Age of Viral Outrage and Doomscrolling — In Theaters April 10th

Inspired by one of the most infamous cult movies ever made, this reimagining drags the shock-show legacy of Faces of Death straight into the age of doomscrolling and algorithmic outrage. Barbie Ferreira and Dacre Montgomery lead a young ensemble pulled into a disturbing maze of videos that blur staged spectacle, real violence, and the internet’s endless appetite for extremes. Directed by Daniel Goldhaber and co-written by Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei, following their acclaimed eco-terrorist thriller How to Blow Up a Pipeline, this film reinterprets exploitation horror through the lens of social media, misinformation, and desensitization. Updated for an era where anything can be uploaded, endlessly shared, and never truly erased. Nothing can be unseen, no matter how hard you try.

🎥 “Rosebush Pruning” First Look Peek: Jamie Bell, Elle Fanning, Riley Keough, and Tracy Letts Sit Through an Unbearably Awkward Dinner in This Darkly Satirical Family Thriller — Premiering at This Month’s Berlinale

There are awkward family dinners where you grit your teeth and try to survive. And then there are family dinners like this, where surviving might not even be the point. Check out this first-look peek at an upcoming satirical tragicomedy centered on a wealthy, deeply dysfunctional household where a polished surface barely masks simmering resentments and oversized egos. The film boasts an all-star ensemble led by Jamie Bell, Riley Keough, Elle Fanning, Callum Turner, and Lukas Gage, with Tracy Letts as the blind but brutally blunt patriarch holding court at the center of it all. Directed by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Karim Aïnouz (Firebrand, Futuro Beach) and written by Greek scribe Efthimis Filippou, best known for his collaborations with Yorgos Lanthimos on The Lobster, Dogtooth, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, this is a family satire with very sharp teeth. Loosely inspired by Marco Bellocchio’s 1965 Italian film Fists in the Pocket, the story leans hard into dark humor and moral discomfort. The film is set to make its world premiere at the Berlinale International Film Festival in the coming weeks, and it already looks like one very uncomfortable seat at the table.

🎥 “I Can Only Imagine 2” Final Trailer: Milo Ventimiglia Joins John Michael Finley on a Faith-Tested Tour Where Success and Family Collide in This Sequel to the Hit Christian Rock Biopic — Hitting Theaters February 20th, with Early Screenings on Feb 14th

Fame gets loud. Faith gets tested. And sometimes it takes the right person to remind you to slow down and find gratitude in the noise. This sequel to the faith-based rock biopic finds MercyMe frontman Bart Millard (again played by John Michael Finley) riding career highs while quietly struggling to stay present for his wife Shannon (Sophie Skelton) and their young son Sam (Sammy Dell) on the road. Enter hopeful newcomer Tim Timmons (This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia), a fellow Christian musician whose spot as the band’s opening act sparks an unexpected friendship that gently reframes Bart’s soul-searching journey. As Tim’s own hardships surface, the bond between the two men becomes less about success and more about perspective, patience, and belief under pressure. Co-starring Arielle Kebbel, Trace Adkins, and Dennis Quaid, and again directed by Andrew Erwin and Brent McCorkle from a script by McCorkle, this chapter draws inspiration from the true story behind the song “Even If.”

🎥 “Wardriver” Trailer: Dane DeHaan’s Lone Hacker Gets Pulled Into a Cyber-Heist With No Clean Exit in This Neo-Noir Heist Thriller With Sasha Calle, Jeffrey Donovan & Mamoudou Athie — In Theaters March 20th and on VOD/Digital March 27th

There are two types of crimes: the ones you get caught for, and the ones you get away with. Then there’s the third kind—the one where you think you’re in control, only to discover you were already caught before you even knew the game had started.

Dane DeHaan plays a would-be criminal trapped in that third scenario, convinced he’s ahead of the game, only to realize the caper is far more complicated than he ever imagined in this twisty heist thriller Wardriver, which also stars Sasha Calle as a femme fatale who might be playing him all along.

Directed by Rebecca Thomas (whose credits include the indie breakout Electrick Children and episodes of Stranger Things and Archive 81) and written by Daniel Casey (scribe of F9), this sleek neo-noir pressure cooker follows DeHaan’s Cole, a lone-wolf hacker who prowls city streets “wardriving,” breaking into bank networks from the safety of his car while convincing himself the damage is abstract.

But when Cole crosses paths with the alluring and mysterious Sarah (Sasha Calle, from The Rip and The Flash), who dangles a much bigger score—robbing her boss, a mob lawyer (Jeffrey Donovan of Burn Notice fame) whose day job is laundering massive sums of dirty money—his small-time hustle spirals into something far more dangerous, with consequences beyond anything he’s ever dealt with before. Further complicating matters is Cole’s associate, a black-market tech predator played by Mamoudou Athie (Jurassic World Dominion), who may see this score as an opportunity to make a move of his own.

Stealing code and hacking into networks might feel clean and simple, but once that code begins to signify laundered cash, everything changes. No one walks away without getting their hands a little dirty. Before long, keystrokes turn into bullets, and the idea of getting away scot-free disappears altogether.

Wardriver is scheduled to open in theaters March 20th, followed by a VOD/Digital release on March 27th.

🎥 “Glenrothan” International Trailer: Brian Cox and Alan Cumming Star as Estranged Brothers Facing Old Wounds and Family Legacy in This Heartfelt Scottish Drama — In U.K. Cinemas April 17th

Two of Scotland’s biggest and most beloved stars are coming together for a heartfelt brotherly drama about how forgiveness might be closer than you realize—if only you allow yourself to confront the wounds you’ve spent a lifetime avoiding.

Brian Cox, the Emmy-winning star of Succession, makes his feature directorial debut, returning to his home country of Scotland to star opposite fellow X-Men alum and Scottish compatriot Alan Cumming as two estranged brothers hoping to make amends after decades apart. Described as a love letter to the beautiful vistas of Scotland’s rugged Highlands, the film sets the stage for a family reunion filled with old resentments, unspoken regrets, and the fragile possibility of reconciliation.

Glenrothan follows Donal (Cumming) as he returns to Scotland with his two American-born daughters (one played by Alexandra Shipp) for the first time in decades. Hoping to patch things up with his estranged older brother Sandy (Cox), Donal soon finds himself caught between the life he built abroad and the one he abandoned. With Cox bringing his trademark gravitas and stoicism, Sandy is the brother who stayed home and quietly kept the family legacy alive. The reunion takes an unexpected turn when Sandy suddenly announces his retirement and offers Donal the keys to the family’s cherished 200-year-old distillery, Glenrothan, forcing both men to confront old wounds they never truly healed.

The film seemingly tips into family melodrama, as Cox’s directorial debut feels more like a traditional, old-fashioned character piece—one driven by family legacy, brotherly regret, and the emotional cost of coming home too late. It may appeal most to those looking for a performance-driven film that lets seasoned actors do most of the heavy lifting.

Also starring Shirley Henderson, Glenrothan is slated to open in U.K. cinemas April 17th. As of now, there’s no official U.S. release date.

🎥 “Blades of the Guardians” Teaser Trailer: Wu Jing Escorts the Empire’s Most Wanted Fugitive in Legendary Action Master Yuen Woo-Ping’s New Brutal Wuxia Epic with Jet Li — Arriving in U.S. Theaters February 17th

America has the Western. Japan has the samurai. And China has wuxia. But all three culturally specific genres share similar DNA in that moral codes are usually tested by violence, larger-than-life figures tend to navigate lawless worlds, and honor isn’t just something you talk about — it’s something you fight for, bleed for, and sometimes die for.

Legendary Chinese action maestro Yuen Woo-Ping, known to Western audiences for his groundbreaking stunt and wire work on films like the Matrix trilogy, the Kill Bill films, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, returns to the wuxia genre with what looks to be another heart-pumping, eye-popping action spectacle that treats combat as pure cinematic poetry.

At 80 years old, Woo-Ping steps back into the director’s chair, assembling an impressive lineup of Chinese and Hong Kong heavyweights including Wu Jing, Nicholas Tse, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Max Zhang, Kara Wai, and Jet Li, as he adapts Xianzhe Xu’s wildly popular “manhua” (Chinese comic book series) Biao Ren into a sweeping, large-scale wuxia epic.

Blades of the Guardians takes place during an era where honor has become a liability and the law has already been rotted from the inside. Wu Jing stars as Dao Ma, the “second most wanted fugitive,” a hardened blade-for-hire tasked with escorting an even deadlier prize: the empire’s most wanted outlaw (Jet Li, returning to the genre that built his career). What begins as a job quickly becomes a rolling gauntlet of ambushes and shifting alliances, as the road to safety is soon painted in blood and betrayal.

For those who still remember the heyday of ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s wuxia epics, this might just get the blood pumping all over again. And for anyone not familiar with this action genre from the East... well, you’re in for a real awakening. ’Cause there’s nothing better than watching someone wield a blade while spinning through the air, defying gravity, and kicking and punching their way through impossible odds with balletic fury.

Blades of the Guardians will be swooping into U.S. theaters February 17th.

🎥 “Dolly” Trailer: Innocent Hikers Face a Dollfaced Killer in This Grimy Grindhouse Drive-In Horror Throwback Starring Fabianne Therese & Seann William Scott — Hitting Theaters March 6th

Look, little more than two decades ago, during the height of the torture porn boom, horror was inundated with what felt like an endless assembly line of grim, joyless endurance tests. These were films far more interested in upping the ante on suffering than actually saying anything with it. Like all trends, the subgenre eventually burned out under its own excess, giving way to a new wave of moodier, more atmospheric horror that favored psychological unease over outright brutality.

Well, it seems the pendulum may be swinging back yet again, as a new horror film has emerged with its sights set firmly on reviving the raw, ugly, sweat-soaked energy of ‘70s exploitation cinema. And it’s exploding with grime and cruelty, wrapped around an out-there premise destined for instant cult status.

Dolly stars Fabianne Therese as Macy, a young woman who has joined her boyfriend Chase (played by American Pie’s Seann William Scott) on what was supposed to be a nice, quiet hike through the woods. While that might sound delightful on paper, it quickly turns into the worst decision of their lives when they stumble upon a terrifying campsite littered with doll parts hanging from the trees.

Soon, Macy finds herself abducted by a deranged, monster-like adult Doll figure (think Jason Voorhees, but dressed as a towering porcelain doll figurine) who drags her back to his secluded dollhouse in the middle of nowhere. Now held as the killer’s hostage, Macy realizes his intention is to raise her as his own child. Talk about the world’s most horrifying adoption process. So, what begins as a survival story quickly twists into something far more psychologically invasive, as Macy is forced to endure captivity not just as a victim, but as a warped substitute for family.

Shot with the look and style of ‘70s grindhouse drive-in horror, Dolly hails from writer-director Rod Blackhurst (best known as the writer behind Night Swim) and writer Brandon Weavil, based on their 2022 horror short Babygirl (watch it here).

Co-starring Ethan Suplee, Dolly is slated to open in theaters on March 6th, followed by an exclusive streaming release on Shudder later in the year. So, remember the next time you take that hiking trip, don’t forget: if you spot any doll parts lying around… run like hell.

If they can’t find a way to work together by sunrise, there won’t be a tomorrow to save.

And DC fans have never been more curious to see how this wilder, rougher corner of the universe collides with Kara Zor-El’s journey.

In a couple of new Supergirl promos, Lobo becomes a major part of the promotional material, as it’s undeniable that casting Momoa as the character might be a stroke of genius, even though he’s already known in the DC universe as Aquaman. Here, fans get a better look at Momoa’s interpretation of Lobo, charging in on a motorbike from hell and chomping down on a thick, burning cigar. It’s an image that might as well have been ripped straight from the comic book pages, as Momoa seems absolutely made for the role.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, of Cruella and I, Tonya fame, Supergirl follows the events of James Gunn’s Superman movie, where Kara Zor-El (played by House of the Dragon’s Milly Alcock) is still grappling emotionally with having grown up witnessing the destruction of Krypton and the loss of her parents. Tired of living in the shadow of her cousin, Kara finds herself hopping around planets and drowning her feelings in alcohol along the way.

That’s until she encounters Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), an orphaned alien girl seeking help to exact vengeance on the man responsible for her family’s slaughter. Soon enough, Supergirl is roped into a planet-trotting quest to hunt down the ruthless space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts). And this is where we imagine Lobo fits in—as a bounty hunter by trade, he’d be exactly the kind of muscle you’d hire to track someone like Krem, or at the very least, the kind of guy who knows where he might be hiding.

Inspired by the acclaimed comic book miniseries Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by writer Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely, Supergirl is set to take flight in theaters this summer, starting June 26th.

🎥 “Tuner” Trailer: Leo Woodall Turns Perfect Pitch Into a Dangerous Weapon in This Taut Crime Thriller with Havana Rose Liu & Dustin Hoffman— In Theaters May 22nd

We can think of so many ways a person can enter a life of crime. So many reasons and so many paths that didn’t start with bad intentions, but some way or another end with a single choice that turns a life of promise into something more dangerous. Well, this new crime thriller certainly has an interesting take, one we didn’t see coming—and one that reframes how easily a talent can be used for good or twisted into something far more nefarious.

In Tuner, Leo Woodall, one of the breakout stars of Season 2 of HBO’s The White Lotus, stars as Niki, a gifted young piano tuner whose hyper-acute sense of hearing draws the wrong kind of attention. While working for his mentor, a veteran piano tuner and piano repairman, Harry Horowitz, played by Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman, Niki finds himself bouncing around New York through various corners of the city. Because of Niki’s rare hearing condition since birth, he must wear protective ear gear to muffle loud noises. But that same condition has also gifted him the uncanny ability to identify notes from a single piano key string.

So one day on the job, while tuning a grand piano at a fancy estate, Niki bumps into a shady crew of so-called locksmiths who are there trying to crack open the owner’s locked safe. Given a challenge on the spot, Niki demonstrates his skill, using sound and pitch to “hear” the safe’s inner mechanism—revealing a talent that’s far more useful, and far more lucrative, than his day job.

With his mentor Harry suddenly falling ill and landing in the hospital, medical bills piling up by the day, Niki takes it upon himself to use his newfound safecracking abilities—telling himself it’s temporary, justified, and under control... right up until it isn’t. As the money starts rolling in from jobs that barely stay on the right side of the law, Niki’s life begins to spiral, complicating even his budding romance with a young concert pianist and music college student, played by Bottoms actress Havana Rose Liu.

Tuner marks the narrative feature debut of filmmaker Daniel Roher, who earned an Academy Award for his 2020 investigative documentary Navalny about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Co-starring Tovah Feldshuh, Jean Reno, and Lior Raz, Tuner is slated to hit theaters May 22nd.

🎥 “Heel” Trailer: Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough Turn ‘Reform’ Into Psychological Terror in Jan Komasa’s Twisted Psychological Thriller with Anson Boon — In U.S. Theaters March 6th

Nature vs. nutrition is a long debate over how we perceive human behavior—whether people are fundamentally wired a certain way from birth or endlessly reshaped by upbringing, culture, and circumstance. But the bigger societal question is what we should do to correct one’s behavior once they’ve crossed that line and become a problem in the eyes of society.

Well, Stephen Graham, the recent Emmy-winner of Adolescence, gets to explore that very question in his latest psychological thriller, digging into the uncomfortable gray area between punishment and rehabilitation. And his character certainly has a twisted method of correcting one’s behavior, blurring the line between discipline and outright cruelty. The film’s title is Heel, which should give you a pretty clear idea of how he goes about showing someone who’s in control—and how far he’s willing to go to enforce obedience.

Directed by Jan Komasa, the Academy Award–nominated Polish filmmaker behind Corpus Christi, Heel sees Graham starring opposite Andrea Riseborough as Chris and Kathryn, a married couple who have just captured a local 19-year-old hooligan named Tommy (played by Anson Boon, currently starring in the Tom Hardy-led London crime series MobLand). Chained up in their basement, Tommy has become a test subject for Chris’s warped experiment in behavioral rehabilitation. Treating the kidnapping like an unconventional intervention, Chris speaks in calm tones, insists on manners, and refers to Tommy’s captivity as a necessary correction for what he calls a “rebellious phase.”

While Chris and Kathryn’s own children ask questions about Tommy, they reassure them that what they’re doing is for his own good—even as the frequent beatings at the hands of Chris are framed as something Tommy must endure if he wants to learn to be a “good boy.”

Heel, which debuted last September at the Toronto International Film Festival under the title Good Boy, borders on the strangely macabre and darkly satirical, with critics raving about its genre-bending tone and unnerving ability to balance pitch-black humor with brutal psychological horror. And it doesn’t hurt that the film has two of the best British actors working today in Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough, who know exactly how to strike the right tonal balance, making the madness feel disturbingly plausible rather than exaggerated.

Co-starring Kit Rakusen, Austin Haynes, Savannah Steyn, and Monika Frajczyk, Heel arrives in U.S. theaters March 6th.

🎥 “Idiotka” Trailer: Anna Baryshnikov Chases the American Dream One Reality Show Meltdown at a Time in Nastasya Popov’s Indie Russian Fashion Designer Comedy with Camila Mendes & Julia Fox — In Select Theaters February 5th

You might have seen Anna Baryshnikov in the short-lived CBS sitcom Superior Donuts or perhaps co-starring across three seasons of Apple’s Emily Dickinson historical farce Dickinson. She has also appeared in small roles in films like Manchester by the Sea and Love Lies Bleeding. Showing an adeptness for using her physicality to comedic effect, Anna Baryshnikov may have naturally learned how to push her body movements from her father. Here’s a little fun fact: Anna’s dad is none other than Russian-Latvian ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Which makes Anna Baryshnikov’s latest film project all the more poignant and personal, as she takes the lead as an aspiring fashion designer who enters a reality competition show in hopes of winning the top prize to help keep her Russian immigrant family from being thrown out of their L.A. home.

In this upcoming indie dramedy Idiotka, chasing the American Dream is just a reality show where all contestants must prove they’re “relatable.” And what’s more relatable than a dreamer living in a house full of debt, desperation, and family expectations that feel impossible to outrun?

Set in the Russian district of West Hollywood, Anna Baryshnikov plays Margarita, a wannabe fashionista who is barely holding it together—financially, emotionally, or stylistically. As her Russian father, her brother, her lovable babushka, and Margarita herself face eviction, this budding fashion artist sees one way out: a reality competition with a six-figure cash prize. Win the show, save her babushka’s L.A. apartment. Easy, right? Well, when producers and judges start asking her to turn her personal struggles into content for the show, the line between authenticity and self-exploitation starts to blur. And Margarita will soon have to ask herself how much dignity she’s willing to trade for a shot at stardom and stability.

Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Nastasya Popov, and also starring Camila Mendes as a reality show producer, with Mark Ivanir, Galina Jovovich, and Nerses Stamos as Margarita’s Russian family—alongside real-life fashion fixture Julia Fox as one of the judges—the film sets out to skewer fashion reality competition shows like Project Runway and others of that ilk. It also aims to get to the heart of who really benefits when the American Dream is packaged as entertainment.

Idiotka is set to open in select cities through February and March, starting in New York theaters on February 5th, followed by a Los Angeles release on March 5th.

With Olga Kurylenko as the doctor who questions whether grief and PTSD are fueling her fears about her next-door neighbor, paranoia tightens its grip—the question isn’t whether she’s seeing things, but whether she’s already crossed a line she can’t uncross.

🎥 “Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie” Trailer: Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol Take Their Cult Canadian Comedy Bigger, Dumber, and Far More Dangerous on the Big Screen — In Theaters February 13th

Every bad plan starts with confidence, and nobody commits harder to the bit than Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol. Expanding their cult Canadian semi-improvisational comedy and web series into a feature-length movie, their once small-scale schemes and public stunts escalate into something far riskier this time around.

For the uninitiated, Canadian filmmaker, actor, and comedian Matt Johnson (best known for BlackBerry, Operation Avalanche, and The Dirties) built a devoted cult following with his 2007–2009 mockumentary-style web series Nirvanna the Band the Show and its 2017–2018 TV sequel. Very much in the awkward spirit of Nathan for You and Jackass–style commitment to public stunts, the series was co-created with—and co-stars—Johnson’s close friend and music collaborator Jay McCarrol. Together, they play semi-fictionalized versions of themselves, chasing grand ideas with unwavering confidence and predictably disastrous results.

The joke is fairly simple: they’re struggling musicians who go to absurd lengths just to land a dream gig at Canada’s hottest music club, The Rivoli, only to come up short every single time—despite already having a name that everyone seems to know. With the movie version, those lengths go even further and the absurdity goes off the charts, throwing in time travel via a DeLorean-inspired RV that jumps from the present day back to 2008. Now the plan isn’t just to get famous and play The Rivoli, but to jump off the CN Tower with a parachute. The question now is: did these two knuckleheads just screw up the timeline continuum... and if so, thank you.

For longtime fans of the series, it just might be a long-awaited but worthy payoff. And for newcomers, this could be the perfect entry point. But for Matt and Jay, it’s one more brutal lesson in a truth they refuse to accept: the Rivoli doesn’t care, gravity always wins, and some timelines are better than others.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie opens in select theaters February 13th, following a successful festival run last year that included SXSW and TIFF.

🎥 “The Dreadful” Trailer: Sophie Turner and Kit Harington Reunite for a Medieval Curse-Bound Gothic Horror with Marcia Gay Harden — In Theaters and On VOD/Digital February 20th

Hey, it’s a Stark reunion! And while the setting is medieval and the tone is harsh and unrelenting, Sophie Turner and Kit Harington reunite to play two characters who are nothing like their Game of Thrones counterparts.

In this new superstition-laden horror thriller The Dreadful, Turner plays Anne, a 15th-century woman who has just learned her husband was killed during the deadly conflict of the Wars of the Roses—a loss that leaves her isolated, vulnerable, and perhaps susceptible to the region’s most dangerous men.

Harington is one such man, Jago, a knight returning home from war who delivers the grim news of Anne’s husband’s fate. Weary from battle and utterly exhausted by the violence he’s experienced, Jago—despite his sketchy demeanor—could be the romantic replacement Anne is looking for. And yes, let’s forget for a moment that they once played brother and sister in Game of Thrones.

But if Harington’s Jago and Turner’s Anne are meant to be, their prospects don’t look good. Anne’s overly domineering mother-in-law, Morwen (Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden), becomes the ultimate chastity belt. Grieving the loss of her son and unable to grapple with how the country has been torn apart by war, Morwen believes all men are pure evil and that an ancient force has cursed them all. Worst of all, she might not be as crazy as she sounds, as there are signs her fears may be rooted in something very real.

Written and directed by Natasha Kermani, coming off last year’s buzzy Joe Hill–based, older Van Helsing–vs.–Dracula thriller Abraham’s Boys, this new medieval nightmare turns grief and repression into a slow-burning curse where faith, fear, and desire become dangerously entangled. Sure, no dragons in this one. But two Starks are better than nothing.

The Dreadful arrives in theaters and on VOD/Digital February 20th.

🎥 “This Is Not a Test” Trailer: Olivia Holt Faces the End of the World Inside a Locked-Down High School in New Zombie Horror — In Theaters February 20th

In last year’s Valentine’s Day–set slasher Heart Eyes, Olivia Holt had to fend for herself against a masked killer who turned the year’s most romantic day into a bloodbath. Now the stakes are even higher, as she finds herself trapped in yet another chilling nightmare—this time with the streets crawling with the undead.

In the post-apocalyptic horror thriller This Is Not a Test, Holt leads a group of high school friends who have managed to stay alive during the initial onset of a zombie outbreak. Now barricading themselves inside their high school, Sloane (Holt) and her classmates (played by Froy Gutierrez, Corteon Moore, Chloe Avakian, and Carson MacCormac) sit and wait for backup that may never come. Soon they realize survival might mean making tough choices, as their school isn’t the safe haven they hoped for. But the real danger isn’t just what’s trying to get in—it’s who’s willing to keep going once hope starts to run out.

Written and directed by Canadian horror filmmaker Adam MacDonald (Pyewacket, Backcountry, Out Come the Wolves), and adapted from Courtney Summers’ novel of the same name, This Is Not a Test turns a zombie siege into something more intimate and unsettling once these teens realize the world they once knew isn’t just gone—it’s become a “coffin.”

Co-starring Luke Macfarlane, This Is Not a Test is coming to theaters February 20th. School’s out... and nobody’s coming to pick them up!

🎥 “Pillion” U.S. Trailer: Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling Enter a Charged Power Dynamic in Harry Lighton’s Provocative Gay Romantic Dark Comedy — In U.S. Theaters February 6th

Picture the typical gay couple, perhaps the one Hollywood has depicted for years on sitcoms and movies. Okay, now throw that image out the window, because this new provocative gay dark comedy is here to shatter every preconceived notion you might have. ’Cuz Will & Grace, this is not.

Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling might not seem like a likely pairing on paper, but their stark differences (physically, at least) may be the entire point of this darkly comic romantic provocation, marking the feature debut of British writer-director Harry Lighton.

The film, which follows an unlikely love story between a leather-wearing biker (Skarsgård) and a nebbish British pushover (Melling), has been racking up critical accolades since debuting at Cannes last summer. And despite its collar-adjusting, eye-raising subject matter, critics have been pretty unanimous in calling it one of the more surprisingly moving romantic films of recent years. Yes, it’s a BDSM gay love story that stings in places you didn’t expect, apparently.

Acquired by A24 Films and based on the novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones, Harry Lighton’s Pillion charts this burgeoning romance between Skarsgård’s imposing, charismatic biker in full control and Melling’s self-effacing loner who just might prefer to surrender himself entirely. Lighton just might have positioned himself as a filmmaker unafraid to examine the dynamics between two total opposites who, on the surface, appear fundamentally incompatible—but aren’t easily reduced to labels or the expectations others place on them.

Pillion has received the Best British Independent Film Award at the BIFA, the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the Gotham Independent Film Awards, and also picked up the Best Screenplay Prize at Cannes last year. The film is now slated to open in U.S. theaters on February 6th.

The Oscar winner plays a filmmaker facing a life-altering breast cancer diagnosis in this intimate French-English drama that trades runway spectacle for something far more personal.

Built from newly restored concert footage and long-buried recordings, this cinematic restoration revisits the Vegas years as less of a victory lap and more of a man wrestling with his own legend in real time. The spectacle dazzles, the voice confesses, and the myth briefly cracks open to reveal something startlingly human beneath the rhinestones. All hail the King as he finally gets the last word.

This fourth chapter sends Jack Jr. (Nick Corirossi), Miles Jr. (Armen Weitzman), and their wine-soaked inner circle on a mysterious, Sommelier-assigned quest that feels less like destiny and more like an excuse to keep the party alive. Joined by an overly enthusiastic superfan podcaster and an army of alt-comedy ringers, the journey spirals into nostalgia, self-mythology, and the quiet terror of realizing the bit might actually mean something. Every franchise has to end somewhere... this one ends before it ever truly began, closing out a Sideways-inspired franchise that never existed.

🎥 “Crime 101” New Trailer: Chris Hemsworth Plays an Elusive Master Thief in This New Sleek L.A. Heist Thriller with Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo & Barry Keoghan — In Theaters February 13th

How would one describe the perfect crime? Perhaps it’s rather simple: the perfect crime is whenever someone can get away with it. But to make that kind of thing happen is a different story—one that requires patience, precision, and the kind of discipline that leaves nothing to chance and no room for regret.

Enter Chris Hemsworth as professional jewel thief Mike Davis, who has baffled law enforcement for years. He’s untraceable, methodical, and always one step ahead in this sleek new heist thriller that asks what happens when a master criminal plans the perfect crime, only to see those plans begin to unravel in ways he never anticipated.

Adapted from iconic crime writer Don Winslow’s acclaimed novella, Crime 101 drops Hemsworth into full precision mode as an elusive master thief who knows Los Angeles better than the cops chasing him. As he lines up one last, life-changing score, his carefully controlled world collides with that of a disillusioned insurance broker played by Halle Berry. She’s a woman standing at her own personal crossroads, fed up with crooked bosses who keep overlooking her, yet tempted by the promise of riches she’s been waiting for. With a little persuasion, she agrees to become the inside woman for Hemsworth’s operation.

Watching from the other side of the chessboard is a relentless detective played by Mark Ruffalo, convinced there’s a pattern hiding in plain sight. As he closes in, the gap between hunter and hunted narrows, and the film leans into that classic crime-movie tension where every move feels irreversible. Add Barry Keoghan to the mix as a criminal coyote waiting for the right moment to steal all of Hemsworth’s hard work, and you’ve got a new crime thriller with some serious Heat energy.

Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tate Donovan, and Nick Nolte round out the cast, with American Animals and The Imposter filmmaker Bart Layton serving as writer-director.

They say crime doesn’t pay. This looks ready to argue the point... at least until the bottom drops out. Crime 101 is hitting theaters and IMAX on February 13th.

🎥 “Undertone” Trailer: A Paranormal Investigative Podcaster Gets Pulled Into a Sonic Nightmare in Filmmaker Ian Tuason’s Buzzy, Sound-Driven Horror — Hitting Theaters March 13th, via A24 Films

With horror cinema, the visuals are usually the first thing people latch onto, as the genre’s most unsettling moments tend to come from what we see... or what we think we saw after covering our eyes in utter fright. But here’s the thing, far less is said about sound effects and sound design, even though they’re vital elements in the way films build tension, dread, and psychological anxiety. And in some cases, a good sound design can be as damaging to our senses as the most grotesque image shown on a movie screen.

Well, there was one horror film that premiered last year at the Fantasia International Film Festival that not only had people buzzing, but also reminded us why sound can be the most terrifying weapon a horror film can wield. Made on a reported $500,000 budget, Undertone is a stripped-down, anxiety-inducing horror thriller written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Ian Tuason, marking a striking and confident feature debut.

The film stars Nina Kiri as Evy, a popular paranormal podcast host who plays the skeptic opposite her believer co-host Justin, voiced by Kris Holden-Ried. Their on-air dynamic is all rational debate... until Evy’s real life starts to unravel. And here’s the kicker: Evy is the only character ever seen onscreen, and from what critics have been saying since its Fantasia debut, it seems that what it lacks in characters it more than makes up for in atmosphere, tension, and a relentless, nerve-shredding use of sound.

Filmmaker Ian Tuason makes the bold choice to not only keep Evy as the sole character ever seen onscreen, with everyone else existing purely as off-screen voices, but to also have her receive a series of disturbing audio recordings from a married couple who claim their home is plagued by unexplained sounds. What begins as a potential podcast episode slowly becomes something far more invasive. The noises follow her. And the line between investigation and obsession starts to blur in increasingly unsettling ways.

In a rare and unprecedented move for a first-time filmmaker, A24 swooped in to acquire the film with a staggering seven-figure distribution deal, underscoring its confidence in Tuason’s vision and immediately putting him on the radar as a filmmaker to watch. It also sets the film up as a potential breakout horror hit of the year.

Undertone is slated to open in theaters on March 13th. So, get ready to shield your eyes... and cover your ears too when things start to get truly unbearable.

🎥 “Whistle” Trailer: Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse Unleash an Ancient Curse Where the Sound You Hear Might Be Your Last — Hitting Theaters February 6th

Well, there must be something in the air, because there is yet another horror thriller this year using sound as its weapon of choice. This time, however, it’s less about unsettling sound design and more about how a screeching noise just might be the last thing you hear before an ancient ghost hunts you down.

Starring Dafne Keen (Logan, Deadpool & Wolverine) and Sophie Nélisse (Showtime’s Yellowjackets), Whistle is a new high school horror thriller from filmmaker Corin Hardy, the director who made audiences squirm with 2018’s The Nun and 2015’s The Hallow. This time, the terror doesn’t come from the woods or the shadows, but from a single breath blown into the wrong object at the worst possible moment.

The film centers on a group of high school misfits who stumble upon an ancient Aztec death whistle. At first, it’s just a creepy curiosity. Then someone blows it. The sound is horrifying. And worse, it summons a living nightmare—visions of their own deaths, made flesh, stalking them one by one. As the body count climbs, the group scrambles to uncover the origins of the cursed artifact before the whistle finishes what it started.

Nick Frost co-stars as a high school teacher whose limited knowledge of this ancient whistle artifact ultimately proves to be to the teens’ detriment. The cast also includes Sky Yang, Jhaleil Swaby, Ali Skovbye, Percy Hynes White, and Michelle Fairley.

If It Follows taught us that doom can walk, Whistle is here to suggest it can scream too. Penned by Owen Egerton, the horror thriller opens in theaters February 6th.

🎥 “The Strangers: Chapter 3” Trailer: Madelaine Petsch Faces the Final Blood-Soaked Showdown in Renny Harlin’s Brutal Trilogy Finale with Gabriel Basso, Ema Horvath & Richard Brake — In Theaters February 6th

What began as a brutal, stomach-turning home invasion has slowly revealed something far more insidious beneath the masks. With no illusions left to shatter, the reimagined trilogy reaches its grim conclusion in The Strangers: Chapter 3, a finale that promises blood, reckoning, and zero escape routes. The rules are gone. The hiding is over. What’s left is confrontation.

Madelaine Petsch returns as Maya, the lone survivor who made it through the original nightmare only to learn that survival doesn’t equal freedom. Now stranded in a desolate small town where paranoia is currency and trust is a fatal mistake, Maya is forced to face the violence head-on. After two chapters of escalating terror, this final installment delivers the collision the trilogy has been building toward.

Gabriel Basso is also back as Gregory, no longer hiding behind a mask and now fully unhinged. Ema Horvath returns as Shelly, whose cheerful diner demeanor conceals something deeply sadistic. Richard Brake rounds out the chaos as Sheriff Rotter, a corrupt lawman whose folksy charm masks a rot at the center of the town itself.

Veteran director Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, Deep Blue Sea) once again takes the reins, bringing his relentless genre instincts to a trilogy shot consecutively back in 2022. Written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, and based on characters created by Bryan Bertino, the film aims to close the door with no mysteries left to unravel. Just one final last stand when The Strangers: Chapter 3 hits theaters February 6th.

🎥 “Send Help” New Trailer: Rachel McAdams Turns the Tables on Dylan O’Brien in Sam Raimi’s Darkly Comic Survival Thriller — In Theaters January 30th

Word to the wise: never take Rachel McAdams for granted… ’cause you never know when you’ll survive a plane crash, wash up on a deserted island, and realize she’s the last person you’d ever want to underestimate.

That’s the gist behind Send Help, a new twisty survival thriller where Dylan O’Brien doesn’t heed the warning and has the misfortune of learning that lesson the hard way. Here, he plays the arrogant, entitled son of McAdams’s newly departed boss. He’s also the guy who swooped in and stole her promotion and her position as the company’s new VP, even though she’s worked nearly her entire life for it.

Eagle-eyed viewers will notice in the new trailer that O’Brien’s father is played by Bruce Campbell, as seen in a photo. For reference, the film marks a return to form for Evil Dead and Spider-Man filmmaker Sam Raimi, who’s once again leaning into his mischievous, genre-bending instincts, blending visual energy, gallows humor, and cruel irony.

While being utterly dismissive of McAdams’s work and treating her like a peon, O’Brien’s character thinks he can ride this promotion without consequence. That’s until a business trip ends in a violent plane crash, stranding them both on a remote tropical island. Now the tables have turned, and McAdams holds all the cards. And she ain’t looking to play nice.

Send Help hits cinemas and 3D theaters January 30th. Turns out payback is best served cold… and she’s got plenty of time to make him feel it.

🎥 “Madden” Teaser: Nicolas Cage Goes Big as Legendary Football Icon John Madden in David O. Russell’s Larger-Than-Life Sports Biopic with Christian Bale as Raiders Owner Al Davis — Arriving Thanksgiving 2026

Ask any sports fanatic who loves the game of football and they’d agree that there was no bigger personality (physically or otherwise) than John Madden. But to have someone capture that larger-than-life spirit that John had, you would need an actor with no barriers... someone known for performing with no net and walking that line between brilliance and chaos, perhaps even between caricature and authenticity.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, here comes Nicolas Cage. Sure, he might not look like him, nor sound anything like him, but what Cage lacks in resemblance to Madden he more than makes up for in sheer presence, conviction, and a fearless willingness to go big when the moment demands it. At least, that’s the hope.

In the upcoming sports biopic Madden, arriving next Thanksgiving 2026, Nicolas Cage takes on the daunting task of portraying the legendary Super Bowl–winning NFL coach turned wildly popular football color commentator whose play-by-play analyses were the stuff of legend—mainly because he’d break out a dry-erase board and scribble like a madman, assuming viewers could somehow see exactly what was unfolding in his head.

The film, directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker David O. Russell (The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle), covers not only John Madden’s miraculous journey from championship glory with the Raiders to redefining football culture through broadcasting—and perhaps becoming even more influential as an on-air personality—but also how he ultimately became the face of one of the most popular video game franchises ever created, Madden NFL.

Oscar-winner Christian Bale, a frequent collaborator of Russell’s, co-stars as Al Davis, the legendary owner of the Oakland Raiders whose complicated, combustible partnership with Madden helped shape one of football’s most iconic eras.

Rounding out the cast is Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Madden, John’s wife and emotional anchor; comedian John Mulaney as Trip Hawkins, the visionary behind Electronic Arts who helped turn Madden’s football brain into a video game empire; Sienna Miller as Al Davis’s wife Carol; Joel Murray as broadcast legend Pat Summerall; and comedian Shane Gillis in an undisclosed role that, judging by the vibe, could very well be a Raiders superfan.

Written by David O. Russell and Cambron Clark, Madden is a Prime original feature film. The jury is still out on whether it lands in theaters or goes straight to Prime Video, but one thing’s certain—it’s arriving in November 2026. Just in time to gather around, argue about football, and remember how one man made the game bigger than ever. Boom.

🎥 “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” Teaser: Cillian Murphy Returns as Tommy Shelby in This World War II–Set Feature-Length Continuation of Steven Knight’s Crime Saga — In Theaters March 6th, Streaming on Netflix March 20th

Before winning a Best Actor Oscar for his staggering performance as J. Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s atomic-age epic, Cillian Murphy was already quietly kicking ass on the small screen as WWI vet-turned-Birmingham crime boss Tommy Shelby in the award-winning series Peaky Blinders. Now those two worlds collide, as Murphy once again dons the wool flat cap—this time bringing Tommy Shelby to the big screen in a feature-length continuation of the saga.

After running for six seasons, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man marks a possible final chapter for Murphy’s Tommy Shelby, as he’s thrust into an entirely different world than the one he once ruled. It’s Birmingham, 1940. Bombs overhead. The world’s on fire. And Britain’s most dangerous gangster emerges from a self-imposed exile, only to find himself back in town and in the thick of World War II.

“What ever happened to Tommy Shelby, the famous gypsy gangster?” a voice asks in the opening moments of the film’s first teaser.

To which Tommy quietly replies, “I’m not that man anymore.”

With the future of his family—and arguably his country—hanging in the balance, Tommy is called back into action, forced to confront the ghosts he’s spent years outrunning. This isn’t just another power play or political chess match. It’s about legacy. Whether he finally owns it... or burns it all to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinders, indeed.

Murphy is joined by an imposing ensemble that includes Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Stephen Graham as the formidable Hayden Stagg, Sophie Rundle as Ada Thorne, Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong, Packy Lee as Johnny Dogs, Ian Peck as Curly, Jay Lycurgo, and Barry Keoghan. It’s a lineup that promises no shortage of sharp edges and simmering tension.

Behind the camera, director Tom Harper (Wild Rose, The Aeronauts) takes the reins, working from a screenplay by series creator Steven Knight—suggesting that this final reckoning may be less about whether Tommy Shelby survives, and more about whether the man can outlive the myth. Because immortality, as the title suggests, is a hell of a thing to wrestle with.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is scheduled to premiere March 6th in select theaters before landing on Netflix on March 20th.

🎥 “Apex” Teaser: Charlize Theron Is Hunted Across the Australian Outback by Taron Egerton in This Brutal Survival Thriller — Premiering April 24th on Netflix

Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton are two of the most charismatic actors working today, the kind of performers who can command the screen through sheer presence alone. Put them together and you know something special is bound to come out of it. But place them on opposite sides as fierce rivals, with one hunting the other, and all of a sudden you’re not just watching a movie—you’re locked into a brutal game of cat and mouse. And truth be told, our money’s on Theron. She’s Furiosa, damnit.

In this pulse-pounding survival thriller Apex, Theron stars as a seasoned rock climber who heads into the unforgiving Australian wilderness to push her physical limits—and maybe clear her head from all the muckety muck back home. While there’s something freeing about being completely alone out there, she soon realizes there’s also something uniquely terrifying about it. Those fears spike when she discovers she’s no longer alone. She’s just become the target of a psychopath with a crossbow (played by a head-shaven Egerton).

Now it’s game on. May the best survivor win.

What begins as a test of endurance quickly mutates into a deadly fight for survival, as she not only accepts her fate but turns her skills against a sadistic hunter who sees the outback as his personal killing ground. Every cliff becomes a trap. Every creek is a stumbling block. Every step could be the wrong one. But when a hunter underestimates his prey, survival becomes a matter of who adapts faster.

Baltasar Kormákur, the Icelandic filmmaker who has built a filmography around survival stories that pit humans against extreme environments—including The Deep (2012), Everest (2015), Adrift (2018), and Beast (2022)—directs this Netflix original, turning the Australian landscape into a character just as dangerous as the man stalking it.

Apex is set to premiere on Netflix on April 24th. Just maybe don’t watch it before your next hiking trip.

🎥 “The Rip” Sneak Peek Teaser: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Face Loyalty, Greed, and Cartel Firepower in Joe Carnahan’s Gritty Miami Crime Thriller — Premiering January 16th on Netflix

Money has a way of revealing who people really are. And when presented with the right scenario, anyone might be tempted to bend the rules a little. But police officers are supposed to be trained not to give in to temptation... or at least, they’re supposed to be.

Longtime friends and Good Will Hunting partners Matt Damon and Ben Affleck make their long-awaited return to the screen together, playing a pair of Miami police officers whose friendship and partnership are pushed to the breaking point in the gritty new crime thriller The Rip.

After stumbling upon a dream bust where millions of dollars in unmarked cartel cash have been hidden away in a forgotten stash house, Damon, Affleck, and their police unit find themselves staring at a once-in-a-lifetime temptation that could change everything.

What if they could just steal the money for themselves?

One little comment said in jest soon becomes a dangerous thought that slowly hardens into a very real plan. On paper, it’s the kind of seizure that makes careers. In reality, it’s a ticking time bomb that just might pit best friends against each other... that is, if the cartel doesn’t get them first.

Inspired by true events, The Rip marks a pulpy, high-octane return to form for filmmaker Joe Carnahan, who previously delivered gritty pressure-cooker thrillers like Narc and The Grey.

Joining Damon and Affleck as members of their squad are Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor, and Catalina Sandino Moreno, while Sasha Calle plays the unfortunate house sitter whose home turns out to be the stash house. Scott Adkins and Kyle Chandler round out the cast as a pair of officers determined to clean the department of corruption.

Produced by Damon and Affleck under their new production label Artists Equity, The Rip premieres exclusively on Netflix January 16th.

🎥 “All You Need Is Kill” Trailer: Soldiers Rita and Keiji Fight to Break a Deadly Time Loop in This Anime Adaptation of Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s Sci-Fi Novel That Inspired Tom Cruise’s Edge of Tomorrow — In Theaters January 16th

Think Groundhog Day with way more alien carnage. Or better yet, think Edge of Tomorrow... only closer to the original source material that inspired it. Japanese anime powerhouse Studio 4°C teams with animator and filmmaker Kenichiro Akimoto to adapt Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s brutal sci-fi novel into a visually striking, hard-hitting time-loop nightmare where death is just another reset button. The result is a kinetic, blood-soaked anime that follows alien-fighting soldiers Rita and Keiji as they’re trapped in a relentless live-die-repeat cycle. Each death sharpens their skills, deepens their trauma, and tightens the clock as they team up to break the loop before they finally run out of extra lives. It’s stylish, punishing, and emotionally raw... proof that some battles are fought one fatal restart at a time.

What begins as an act of mercy spirals into a tense, deadly game of trust, power, and betrayal... where every drop could be the last.

🎥 “Critical Incident: Death at the Border” Trailer: HBO Documentary Exposes a Shadowy Unit Within the Border Patrol and the Cover-Up of Anastasio Hernández-Rojas’ Death — Premieres December 29th on HBO MAX

This searing HBO documentary peels back the layers of a 2010 border tragedy, uncovering a shadow unit within the Border Patrol that transformed cover-ups into routine practice. Revisiting the killing of Anastasio Hernández-Rojas, the film follows a years-long fight for accountability led by family, journalists, and activists who refused to let the truth be buried. What emerges is a chilling portrait of institutional protection, and the slow, hard push that finally dragged a secret “cleanup crew” into the light.

🎥 “The Breadwinner” Trailer: Nate Bargatze Gets Thrown Headfirst Into Domestic Chaos in This New Stay-at-Home Dad Comedy With Mandy Moore — Hitting Theaters March 13th

Back in the early ’80s, there was a John Hughes-penned comedy called Mr. Mom, starring a young Michael Keaton as a family man who fumbles his way through parenting duties as his better half (the always lovely Teri Garr) heads off to become the breadwinner. That was a little more than 40 years ago, when the very idea of a father staying home with the kids was treated as a broad comic premise rather than everyday reality. It was played for laughs because it felt novel, pushing against the old image and outdated assumptions of “father knows better” and “a woman’s place is in the kitchen.” It was just subversive enough for its time.

Now comes stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze to offer his own modern spin on the idea of a stay-at-home dad. The comedy isn’t about mocking the role itself, but just how difficult it is to be a fully functional parent when your partner is off chasing a career-changing opportunity. And let’s face it, no matter the era, there’s nothing quite like watching someone wildly unprepared get thrown into the deep end of adulthood. Bargatze, who will be making his feature film debut here, has kind of built his whole comedy career around being that type of guy: a lovable doofus baffled by everyday tasks, perpetually coming up short when asked to handle them.

In The Breadwinner, Bargatze stars in his first leading role as Nate Wilcox, whose carefully balanced world gets turned upside down when his wife Katie (played by This Is Us star Mandy Moore) lands a once-in-a-lifetime deal on Shark Tank. With her business dreams taking her on an extended trip, Nate suddenly finds himself at home, alone, and hopelessly outmatched by the daily demands of raising three young daughters. What follows is a series of escalating misadventures as Nate learns the hard way that running a household requires a completely different skill set than earning a paycheck.

The upcoming comedy is directed by Eric Appel (Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Die Hart, NTSF:SD:SUV) and written by Bargatze alongside longtime collaborator Dan Lagana, leaning into the comedian’s trademark observational humor about the everyday absurdities of being a dad and husband.

The cast also includes Colin Jost, Zach Cherry, Martin Herlihy, and Kate Berlant, with appearances from Kumail Nanjiani and Will Forte.

The Breadwinner is slated to hit theaters March 13th. Just remember, some dads are born ready, calm under pressure and built for any situation... but this one is absolutely not.

🎥 “Dreams” Trailer: Jessica Chastain Weaponizes Power Dynamics in Michel Franco’s Provocative Drama About Desire, Control, and Immigration with Isaac Hernández — Opening in Theaters February 27th

Jessica Chastain is not a woman you want to cross, especially if she’s willing to weaponize your immigrant status to get what she wants.

In this new provocative drama Dreams, the Academy Award winner plays a wealthy American socialite who becomes embroiled in a secret love affair with a gifted Mexican ballet dancer who happens to be undocumented. That power imbalance comes sharply into play as Chastain’s character pushes the relationship further, to the point where her affection gives way to manipulation and his vulnerability becomes her ultimate bargaining chip.

From acclaimed Mexican filmmaker Michel Franco, well known for human-driven dramas that push the boundaries of emotion and moral discomfort (see: After Lucia, Chronic, Sundown, and Memory), the film examines the hypocrisy of affluent benefactors who may derive a kind of twisted gratification from the power they wield over those they claim to be helping.

Here, Chastain’s Jennifer is the daughter of a powerful family and the public face of a foundation dedicated to helping vulnerable communities. When her latest recipient is a talented dancer, Fernando (played by real-life Mexican ballet dancer Isaac Hernández), who came over from Mexico through less-than-legal means, she initially wants to help him secure legal status and stability in America.

But once her desires are revealed and a torrid love affair takes shape between the two, she begins to realize just how much power she truly holds over his future. Even if Fernando now believes their relationship is doomed and wants out, it no longer matters what he wants. One phone call to the authorities from her is all it would take to upend his life and remind him how fragile his freedom really is.

Chastain delivers what critics are calling another razor-sharp performance, reteaming once again with Franco following their last collaboration, 2023’s Memory. She is joined by a strong supporting cast that includes Rupert Friend, Marshall Bell, Eligio Meléndez, and Mercedes Hernández.

Dreams is due to open in theaters February 27th. Consider this one less a date movie and more a slow-burning warning that some generosity comes with strings sharp enough to cut.

🎥 “By Design” Trailer: Juliette Lewis Swaps Bodies With a Chair in Amanda Kramer’s Delightfully Unhinged Surreal Dark Comedy — In Theaters February 13th

They say Hollywood has run out of ideas and it’s now just a movie factory of reboots, remakes, sequels, and algorithm-approved IP, endlessly recycling what once worked. But we stand here and say... ah, well, yeah, that’s kinda true. Can’t really argue with that. They do a lot of reboots, that’s for sure.

But hey! That doesn’t mean that once in a while a movie doesn’t come along, plant its flag on a hill, and say, “Look dammit! Originality ain’t dead. We actually came up with something no one has seen before—and it’s freakin’ bizarre... like, really bizarre.”

So with that, feast your eyes on the next cult movie in the making. It’s about a woman who swaps bodies with a chair. And somehow, everyone in her life seems to prefer the chair.

Juliette Lewis throws caution to the wind and fully commits herself to star in this stylish, surrealist dark comedy as Camille, a woman so starved for affection and validation that she finds herself envying a gorgeous chair in a showroom. Not metaphorically. Literally.

So when Camille and the chair somehow swap forms, she discovers that life as an inanimate object suits her far better than being human ever did. As a chair, she’s finally appreciated—a better listener, a calmer presence, a friction-free friend. Her mother (Betty Buckley) opens up. Her best friends (Samantha Mathis and Robin Tunney) relax. And for the first time, nobody asks her to explain herself.

Things get stranger—and oddly tender—when Camille ends up in the apartment of Olivier (Mamoudou Athie), a minimalist bachelor who develops a romantic fixation on his elegant new possession. Camille can’t speak or move, but she’s suddenly adored in a way she never experienced before. It’s funny. It’s unsettling. And it’s deeply aware of what it’s poking at.

By Design is written and directed by Amanda Kramer, who comes from the art world, which explains a lot. After cutting her teeth as a music video director and visual artist, she broke onto the indie film scene with 2018’s female-flipped Lord of the Flies riff Ladyworld and followed it up with the neon-soaked, LGBT-friendly ‘50s street-gang musical Please Baby Please in 2022. With her latest, Kramer might have officially crossed into her most fully realized, wonderfully unhinged vision yet, harkening to the spirit of Lynch and Waters, where discomfort, camp, and surreal humor bleed into each other.

Featuring narration by Melanie Griffith and co-starring Alisa Torres, Clifton Collins Jr., Keir Gilchrist, and the late Udo Kier, By Design opens in select theaters February 13th. So come for the whacked-out premise! But stay for the realization that sometimes, being seen means sitting perfectly still.

🎥 “Jimmy” Teaser: Riverdale’s KJ Apa Steps Into the Life of Jimmy Stewart in Upcoming Biopic — In Theaters November 6, 2026

It’s an annual tradition in many households to watch It’s a Wonderful Life this time of year, as it’s arguably Jimmy Stewart’s most beloved film and also one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time. But here’s the thing: for a lot of us, Jimmy Stewart has become the kind of Hollywood legend who’s less viewed as a real human being and more as a pop-culture reference. A bigger-than-life figure, frozen in amber by nostalgia and endlessly replayed on TV screens every December. Which makes it the perfect time for a biopic to remind us that Jimmy Stewart was more than a silver-screen icon or a seasonal tradition, but a real person shaped by real triumph and trauma.

In the upcoming biographical drama Jimmy, KJ Apa, of Riverdale fame, takes on the Herculean task of portraying one of Hollywood’s greatest leading men. The film tells the untold true story of how America’s most beloved everyman actor found himself at a crossroads during the most defining stretch of his life.

Fresh off an Academy Award win for The Philadelphia Story, Stewart walked away from Hollywood stardom to enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corps at the dawn of World War II. What followed wasn’t a publicity tour or symbolic service, but real combat — twenty missions over Europe, a rise to the rank of colonel, and a return home deeply changed by war.

While charting the emotional whiplash between fame and duty, the film zeroes in on that fragile post-war period when Stewart came back broken, disillusioned, and unsure if he even belonged on screen anymore — until one last role quietly changed everything. That role, of course, was George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life, a performance that would redefine Stewart’s career and secure his place in American film history.

Jimmy is directed by indie filmmaker Aaron Burns (Birthright Outlaw) and written by Justin Strawhand, and boasts a stacked supporting cast including Kara Killmer, Neal McDonough, Max Casella, Jason Alexander, Christopher McDonald, Sarah Drew, Rob Riggle, and more.

Rather than rushing through a greatest-hits biography, the film instead aims to focus on one transformative stretch of time — where war reshaped the man and art helped put him back together, and perhaps reveal the truth behind the quiet strength of his iconic smile.

Jimmy is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 6, 2026.

🎥 “Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie” Teaser Trailer: Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol Risk It All With a Tower Stunt in the Cult Comedy’s Long-Awaited Big-Screen Leap — In Theaters February 13th

If you’ve ever made a wildly overcomplicated plan that immediately blew up in your face, then congratulations. You now understand the spiritual core of Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.

This is the feature-length expansion of the cult Canadian semi-improvisational comedy and web series where filmmaker Matt Johnson (BlackBerry, Operation Avalanche, The Dirties) and his close friend and music collaborator Jay McCarrol play exaggerated versions of themselves as unemployed bandmates, lifelong best friends, and chaos magnets whose confidence far outweighs their competence.

Launched back in 2007, Nirvanna the Band the Show followed the hilarious exploits of Matt and Jay, two struggling musicians whose dream of landing a spot at one of Canada’s hippest music clubs, The Rivoli, becomes the catalyst for a series of publicity stunts that range from ill-advised viral schemes and guerrilla marketing disasters to full-blown acts of self-sabotage, all in the misguided belief that this one last idea will finally be the thing that breaks them through.

The series quickly became a cult favorite thanks to its deadpan awkwardness, chaotic escalation, and uncanny ability to blur the line between scripted comedy and real-world discomfort. Think Nathan Fielder meets Borat with a touch of Jackass, as Matt and Jay steamroll through Toronto with absolute certainty and zero foresight.

That same energy carries directly into Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, only now the scale is bigger, the consequences are stranger, and the commitment to the bit is pushed to its most unhinged extreme yet. This time, the big stunt is trying to get to the top of the CN Tower in order to parachute down into instant legend status. The only question is, when will the joke stop being a joke and start tipping into something genuinely dangerous and life-threatening. And that’s exactly why Nirvanna the Band the Show has remained a word-of-mouth favorite for years.

For longtime fans, it’s a long-awaited payoff. For newcomers, it’s an ideal entry point into a world where ambition, friendship, and bad ideas collide at full speed. And for Matt and Jay? It’s just another reminder that the Rivoli remains undefeated.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie opens in select theaters February 13th.

🎥 “Hamlet” International Trailer: Riz Ahmed Returns Home to a Family Empire Poisoned by Secrets in a Contemporary London Reimagining of William Shakespeare’s Tragedy — Arriving in UK Cinemas February 6th

The cool thing about Shakespeare is that one can interpret his works into whatever reflects the time, culture, or emotional truth of the moment. There’s a long history of artists doing exactly that—reframing his stories through new lenses, new settings, and new voices. You can now add the name Riz Ahmed to that list, as he’s the latest to bring a contemporary spin to Hamlet. Set within a British South Asian family in modern-day London, Ahmed takes on the iconic role of a grieving son pulled into betrayal, power plays, ghostly visions, and inherited violence after a shocking remarriage upends his world. Directed by Aneil Karia (the filmmaker behind the Oscar-winning short The Long Goodbye) and co-starring Art Malik, Joe Alwyn, Timothy Spall, Morfydd Clark, and Sheeba Chaddha, this reinvention asks whether revenge brings clarity... or simply proves how thin the line is between justice and madness.

🎥 “Pike River” U.S. Trailer: Melanie Lynskey and Robyn Malcolm Lead a Relentless Fight for Truth After a National Tragedy In This New Zealand Mining Disaster Drama — In U.S. Theaters and on VOD January 30th

The New Zealand native (yes, her American accent has been fake this whole time) returns to her home country to play a Kiwi woman who refuses to accept official silence in the wake of a national tragedy. Inspired by the devastating 2010 Pike River Mine disaster, the film pairs Lynskey with Robyn Malcolm as two women who transform unimaginable grief into a relentless, years-long pursuit of truth, justice, and accountability after the deaths of their miner husbands.

🎥 “The Wizard of the Kremlin” International Trailer: Paul Dano Becomes One of Vladimir Putin’s Architects of Power in Olivier Assayas’ Post-Soviet Political Thriller with Jude Law and Alicia Vikander — Coming in 2026

While the internet is currently debating over the acting prowess of Paul Dano, there’s one thing for sure: he was born to play fragile characters often manipulated by power and the confidence of egotists and opportunists. In acclaimed French filmmaker Olivier Assayas’s adaptation of Giuliano da Empoli’s post-Soviet political thriller novel, Dano plays a rising Russian filmmaker who slips into the orbit of a political strongman on the ascent... one who would soon become one of Russia’s most feared figures: Vladimir Putin (played here by Jude Law). Co-starring Alicia Vikander and Jeffrey Wright, the upcoming film emerges as a cold, unnerving portrait of how modern autocracy isn’t just engineered through ambition, but through image-making and the careful control of one’s own self-aggrandizement.

🎥 “Melania” Trailer: Here We Go Again! Inside the First Lady’s Return in Amazon MGM Studios’ Inauguration-Set Documentary — In Theaters January 30th

They say history doesn’t repeat itself, it just finds new ways to rhyme… so what rhymes with bootlicker? Just asking, as Jeff Bezos reportedly forked over $40 million to produce and distribute this glossy new documentary tracking the First Lady’s 20-day journey leading up to her husband’s return to the White House. What appears to be acting less like a documentary and more like a high-budget valentine to power has all the hallmarks of a puff piece—and a transparent attempt to cozy up to political influence. Unsurprisingly, it’s already become a lightning rod, sparking exactly the kind of backlash you’d expect. It doesn’t help that the doc marks the return of disgraced filmmaker Brett Ratner, who is currently making headlines as allegedly one of the many celebrities spotted in a recent dump of the controversial Epstein Files. But hey, this is heading into theaters... so, go cinema!

🎥 “Beam Me Up, Sulu” Trailer: Indie Documentary Chronicles The Decades-long Completion of A Long Forgotten ‘Star Trek’ Fan Film Featuring George Takei — On VOD/Digital This February

To most Star Trek fans, watching the shows and knowing the lore are enough to call yourself a Trekkie. But then there are those who take things a step further, turning their love of the franchise into something far more personal and creative.

Take Stan Woo. He was just an ‘80s kid with a big dream of making his own Star Trek fan film. With a limited budget and barely any resources, he set out to make that dream a reality alongside his close friends. Against all odds, he got a production going, shooting bits of footage on weekends with buddies. Stan even managed to convince Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu himself, Star Trek icon George Takei, to appear in the project in his legendary role. The story followed an Enterprise side mission, with Sulu taking the lead.

What Stan didn’t know at the time was that the footage would eventually be lost, only to be rediscovered decades later. Now, he’s more determined than ever to finally finish what he started, not as some grand masterpiece, but as proof that where there’s a will, there’s a way. And where there’s a Trekkie with a dream, anything is possible.

In the vein of something like Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made, this upcoming indie documentary Beam Me Up, Sulu tells the improbable, deeply heartfelt story of a Star Trek superfan who refuses to let a dream die. Back in 1985, a group of students trekked deep into the California forest to shoot a short fan film with George Takei reprising his iconic role as Sulu. Then the footage vanished. No final edit. No premiere. Just a mystery and a massive “what if.”

But nearly forty years later, this documentary goes searching for that lost film... and finds something far bigger than missing reels. What unfolds is part cinematic detective story, part love letter to fandom, and part reflection on representation and perseverance. Stan’s unfinished short film becomes a jumping-off point to explore why Star Trek still matters so deeply to generations of fans, especially those who rarely saw themselves reflected on screen.

Beam Me Up, Sulu is a reminder that fandom isn’t just about rose-colored nostalgia or silly canon debates. Sometimes, it’s about community. And sometimes, it’s about finishing a story simply because it deserves to be finished, no matter how amateur it may be.

Prepare to live long and prosper when Beam Me Up, Sulu arrives on VOD and digital platforms this February.

🎥 “Wasteman” International Trailer: David Jonsson Faces One Last Test Behind Bars in This Brutal British Prison Drama with Tom Blyth — In UK Cinemas February 20th

You might not know David Jonsson’s name quite yet, but you’ve certainly taken note of his standout performances in films like Rye Lane (2023), Alien: Romulus (2024), and, most recently, The Long Walk (2025). Since popping onscreen as a stressed financial broker in the hit HBO series Industry, Jonsson has been making moves to further cement himself as one of the most exciting young talents working today. His streak of jumping from one wildly different role to the next continues as he disappears into the role of a young prisoner trapped inside one of England’s most merciless penitentiaries, where keeping up the status of “good behavior” feels nearly impossible.

In Wasteman, Jonsson stars as Taylor, a young convict who’s done the time and can finally see parole within reach. Years behind bars have already cost him a relationship with his son, and release represents something fragile and rare: a second chance. But just as the door starts to crack open, a violent new cellmate named Dee arrives, played by The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes actor Tom Blyth with feral unpredictability, and pulls Taylor straight back into the prison’s ruthless internal wars.

What follows is an uncompromising portrait of a prison ecosystem where survival often demands moral compromise. Dee’s appetite for chaos threatens to derail everything Taylor has worked toward, forcing him to choose between self-preservation and redemption. And the promise of freedom comes with one final, brutal test of endurance and mental fortitude.

Marking the feature film debut of director Cal McMau, the upcoming gritty British prison thriller aims to hit hard enough that audiences will likely leave feeling as battered and rattled as Jonsson’s character, with tensions spiraling into a suffocating, claustrophobic mess. Sometimes, in a prison system like this, the hope of freedom can be snatched away without warning... or dangled unmercifully out of reach.

Wasteman is slated to open in UK cinemas on February 20th. As of yet, there’s no official U.S. release date.

🎥 “Animal Farm: A Cautionary Tale” Trailer: Andy Serkis Directs This Animated Fantasy Comedy Based on George Orwell’s Classic Dystopian Fable, Featuring the Voices of Seth Rogen and Glenn Close — Hitting Theaters May 1st

Some stories never stop feeling pressing, or more relevant. George Orwell’s classic 1945 novel Animal Farm remains one of those works that never truly ages and, sadly, feels just as timely now as it did upon its original publication. It’s also that rare story that can be translated across a variety of mediums and still retain its razor-sharp allegory about power, propaganda, and how revolutions can rot from the inside out. After all, a farm full of cute animals might seem harmless at first. Until a closer look reveals how quickly noble ideals can be bent, broken, and consumed by the hunger for power.

Actor, filmmaker, and motion-performance innovator Andy Serkis directs this animated fantasy comedy inspired by Orwell’s dystopian fable, where a group of farm animals rise up against their human masters to build their own society founded on equality, where all animals on the farm are now viewed and treated as equal partners... until they aren’t.

Comedian Seth Rogen voices Napoleon, the Saddleback boar who rises to dominate Animal Farm through manipulation and tyrannical rule. Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo plays Lucky, a young piglet torn between the farm’s original ideals and the distorted reality unfolding around him. Succession’s Kieran Culkin plays the oily menace Squealer, Napoleon’s propaganda-spinning right hand.

Meanwhile, eight-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close lends her voice to Freida Pilkington, a billionaire human neighbor scheming to seize control of the animal farm through exploitation and backroom power plays. After all, an equal society is only as fair as those in power allow it to be. And if Freida can pay off the right people... or rather, the right pigs, the rules will likely bend in her favor.

Other voices in the cast include Laverne Cox as Snowball, a sow and Napoleon’s rival; Woody Harrelson as Boxer, the horse; Jim Parsons as Carl the sheep; Kathleen Turner as Benjamin the donkey; along with Steve Buscemi as Mr. Whymper, Pilkington’s loyal fixer; Iman Vellani as piglets Puff and Tammy; while Serkis himself pulls double duty as Mr. Jones, the original owner of the farm, and Randolph the Rooster.

Written by filmmaker Nicholas Stoller (The Five-Year Engagement, Neighbors, Storks), Animal Farm: A Cautionary Tale will be arriving in theaters May 1st.

🎥 “Solo Mio” Trailer: Kevin James Gets Left at the Altar, Only to Find Love Through Italy In This New Feelgood Rom-Com with Nicole Grimaudo — In Theaters February 6th

Okay, raise your hand if you loved the Will Smith rom-com Hitch. Yes, we can all admit it now, without any hesitation, the movie simply rocks. A big part of its success was comedian Kevin James playing a lovesick schlub who just needed a push in the right direction to get the girl of his dreams. Now fast-forward 20 years later, and Kevin James has a new movie where he’s kind of playing that same type of lovesick schlub who just needs a little nudge to turn his luck around.

Solo Mio is a new romantic comedy that proves the best way to get over heartbreak is to change the scenery. Preferably to Italy. Here, James co-writes and stars as Matt Taylor, a groom whose dream Italian wedding collapses spectacularly when his fiancée leaves him at the altar in Rome. With flights booked, hotels paid for, and no real plan B, Matt makes a bold decision to go on the honeymoon anyway. Alone. What follows is a solo trek across Italy filled with incredible food, scenic detours, awkward encounters, and the slow realization that sometimes the wrong ending leads to the right beginning.

Co-written and directed by Chuck Kinnane and Dan Kinnane (aka the Kinnane Brothers), who previously worked with James on a series of viral shorts and the Netflix kids football comedy Home Team, Solo Mio leans into Italy’s natural romantic setting while letting James’s Matt stumble, reflect, and rediscover himself amid cobblestone streets, sun-drenched coastlines, and moments of unexpected connection. Along the way, he’s encouraged by a couple of fellow travelers to pursue love again, this time in the form of a local Italian woman, played by Nicole Grimaudo.

Sons of Anarchy’s Kim Coates and The Chosen’s Jonathan Roumie round out the ensemble, joined by Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Alyson Hannigan, Blindspot’s Julee Cerda, and Preacher’s Julie Ann Emery.

Equal parts travelogue, romantic comedy, and gentle self-discovery story, Solo Mio is a reminder that sometimes going solo is exactly what you need. The film lands in theaters February 6th.

🎥 “In Cold Light” Trailer: Maika Monroe Goes From Ex–Drug Dealer to Targeted Convict in This Tense Small-Town Crime Thriller with Oscar-Winners Troy Kotsur and Helen Hunt — Premiering January 23rd

Now if you’re saying to yourself, “Whoa! Maika Monroe has come a long way since her earlier days starring in It Follows,” you’d be absolutely right. Monroe has been working nearly non-stop since her breakout role in the 2014 horror thriller. But it seems her leading performance in last year’s smash horror hit Longlegs was the opener for a mad rush of new film projects. This year alone, Monroe has starred in two feature films, including Hulu’s remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and the just-released fairy tale fantasy 100 Nights of Hero. With a couple of films set for next year, Monroe will be kicking things off with In Cold Light, a gritty small-town thriller set to release in January. And one shouldn’t anticipate Monroe to be playing the same kind of characters, as she seems determined to leap from one unexpected role to the next.

Directed by Canadian filmmaker Maxime Giroux (Felix and Meira, The Great Darkened Days) and written by Patrick Whistler, In Cold Light has Monroe taking on the role of Ava, a recently released ex–drug dealer who barely steps back into freedom before the walls close in again. When someone sets her up for murder with the intent of wanting her dead or back in prison, Ava has no choice but to run. But with nowhere left to go, she has only one move remaining: kill them before they kill her.

Joining Monroe is Oscar-winner Troy Kotsur (CODA) as her estranged rancher father who isn’t so pleased she’s back walking free. Their history is thorny and their trust is beyond fractured. Meanwhile, Jesse Irving plays Ava’s brother, whose kindness doesn’t quite mask the fear that her return means more tragedy waiting to happen. His fears soon come to pass as the violence surrounding Ava barrels straight toward their family.

Oscar and Emmy Award winner Helen Hunt makes a surprise guest turn as the ruthless crime boss who wants Ava dead. And don’t let her flint-eyed, frumpy looks fool you... if she wants someone gone, then they’re already halfway in the ground. That’s not to say Ava won’t go down without a fight.

Maika Monroe is set to raise the temperature this winter when In Cold Light arrives in theaters January 23rd.

🎥 “Protector” Trailer: Human Traffickers Pick the Wrong Mother as Milla Jovovich Wages a One-Woman War in This Race-Against-Time Action Thriller — Hitting Theaters February 20th

One of the main responsibilities of being a good parent is to protect your child. Now most would like to think they’d rise to that duty when tested. But if Milla Jovovich is tested with that very responsibility, you can expect she’s the kind of mother who meets danger head-on. And if you happen to stand between her and her child, it’s probably best you rethink your life choices.

In the new adrenaline-charged action thriller Protector, Jovovich stars as Nikki, a decorated war hero who traded combat missions for a domestic life with her daughter, Chloe (played by Isabel Myers). Nikki was trained to kill without hesitation and conduct secret operations in war zones, but now she loves spending quality family time with her teen daughter. But when Chloe is suddenly abducted by a human-trafficking ring the night she’s gone out with friends, Nikki goes full, ferocious, do-not-get-in-her-way mode as she tracks down the predators who took her.

With the clock mercilessly counting down, Nikki taps back into those killer instincts and goes full scorched earth to bring her daughter home. Now these traffickers don’t know what hit them after waking up to the wrath of a mother they never should’ve crossed, as she’s a soldier whose very job was to hunt, outmaneuver, and eliminate threats far worse than anything they could ever imagine.

It’s Rambo meets Taken, with Jovovich at the helm and charging in like a battering ram.

Directed by action filmmaker Adrian Grünberg (Rambo: Last Blood, Get the Gringo), the film also stars Michael Stahl-David, Don Harvey, and D.B. Sweeney, with Matthew Modine as Jovovich’s former commander who shows up to remind everyone she’s the best killer he ever trained.

Protector is set to land in theaters on February 20th.

🎥 “Thieves Highway” Trailer: Aaron Eckhart Faces a Ruthless Livestock-Smuggling Ring in This Gritty Neo-Western Action Thriller with Devon Sawa — In Theaters December 12th & on VOD/Digital December 16th

The success of something like Yellowstone has opened the door to the emergence of the neo-Western genre. It’s not too dissimilar from typical dramas about powerful family dynasties locked in turf wars or lone lawmen trying to hold the line against mounting threats, where loyalty is currency and betrayal comes cheap. The only difference really... there are more cowboy hats being worn and a lot more horses and cattle in the background.

Well, welcome to Thieves Highway, a shotgun-locked neo-Western actioner that feels like it’s riding the Yellowstone wave as it drops Aaron Eckhart into a lawless stretch of America where being right doesn’t guarantee staying alive.

Here, Eckhart stars as Frank Bennett, a straight-arrow “cow cop” who accidentally kicks open the hornet’s nest of a major livestock-smuggling ring. One minute he’s chasing down a routine theft; the next he’s stranded without his truck and face-to-face with a ruthless criminal crew led by a deranged ex-military commander (played by Devon Sawa). The gang’s gunning for a clean run to the border. Frank is the lone obstacle. And with no backup coming, survival comes down to steady nerves, a steady rifle, and hoping these thieves shoot about as well as they plan.

So, expect plenty of fists flying as guns crack off rounds, ’cuz when it comes to Yellowstone-type tales the good guy doesn’t get a clean ride—he gets knocked around, roughed up, and pushed to the edge before he earns a single win.

Directed by Jesse V. Johnson (Boudica: Queen of War) and co-starring Lochlyn Munro, Brooke Langton, Lucy Martin, and Michael Shamus Wiles, Thieves Highway is set to ride into theaters December 12th followed by a VOD/Digital release on December 16th.

🎥 “A Private Life” Trailer: Jodie Foster Delivers a Fully French Performance as a Troubled Psychiatrist Unraveling a Patient’s Death in Rebecca Zlotowski’s Offbeat Parisian Mystery — In Select U.S. Theaters January 16th

Oh là là! Is that Jodie Foster speaking fluent French... color us impressed. Impressionnant!

Foster, who began studying French as a child and attended a French-language prep school at age nine, has quietly been speaking the language fluently for most of her life. She has even gone so far as to dub herself in French for nearly all her English-language films. And while she has appeared in a few rare French-language films before, including Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s A Very Long Engagement (2004), Foster has often declined to star in them, worried that her French wasn’t quite up to snuff. Well, maybe those fears may finally be waning, as Foster has now found herself leading this new Paris-set mystery where she is speaking nearly entirely in French.

In A Private Life (Vie Privée), the Oscar winner slips into the role of Dr. Lilian Steiner, an American-born, Paris-based psychiatrist who runs a tidy home office and an even tidier emotional life... until she learns her longtime patient Paula (Virginie Efira) has died by suicide. The news cracks something open inside her. Suddenly Lilian can’t stop thinking about her. And as her professional poise collapses into impulse, insecurity, and some truly ill-advised amateur sleuthing, she soon goes beyond the ethics of her job.

Convinced Paula was murdered, Lilian recruits her ex-husband, eye doctor Gabriel “Gaby” Haddad (Daniel Auteuil), to help tail every suspicious figure in sight: Paula’s grieving widower Simon (Mathieu Amalric), her prickly pregnant daughter Valérie (Luàna Bajrami), and several other eccentrics who drifted in and out of Lilian’s life. Was Paula truly killed, or is Lilian just unable to face the possibility that she failed her in therapy?

Mixing elements of a Hitchcockian thriller with a zany Paris caper and a black-comedy whodunit, filmmaker Rebecca Zlotowski (Other People’s Children, Planetarium) stirs up a tonal cocktail most American studios wouldn’t dare touch, making it the perfect vehicle for Foster to reveal a completely different side.

Earning strong reviews when it debuted at Cannes earlier this year, A Private Life will make its way to the States next month, arriving in select U.S. theaters on January 16th. The film will have a one-week Oscar-qualifying run this month, likely to spark some awards buzz around Foster’s performance.

🎥 “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” Teaser Trailer: Joseph Zada, Glenn Close & Ralph Fiennes Face the Deadliest Quarter Quell Yet in Francis Lawrence’s Star-Packed Prequel Exploring Haymitch Abernathy’s Origins — In Theaters & IMAX November 20th, 2026

One could argue that The Hunger Games franchise feels even more relevant today than it did back in 2012 when the first movie hit theaters, or even when the books were originally published little more than a decade and a half ago. Well, let’s unpack that a bit: with the shrinking of the middle class and our everyday reality seeming more and more like a class divide as wide as it’s ever been in recent history, a dystopian world where teenage children are selected to compete in a life-or-death contest for the amusement of the elite class... well, sadly, that doesn’t necessarily feel like pure fantasy anymore. Which makes the franchise feel less like escapism and more like a warning flare we’ve been ignoring for years.

And while the Jennifer Lawrence–led films may have been groundbreaking as an action-fueled dystopia led by a strong female character, the franchise now is starting to feel more like a twisted mirror of a future that feels uncomfortably close. Which is to say this is the reason why science-fiction fantasy has always been a reliable wellspring of eye-raising stories that reflect both our fears and anxieties. And perhaps part of the reason, aside from its lucrative run as a film series, is why Lionsgate will once again return to the nation of Panem for another round of the Hunger Games. This time, exploring the early years of one of the franchise’s favorite characters, Haymitch Abernathy, originally played by Woody Harrelson in the films.

Taking place 24 years before the events of the first movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping rewinds the clock to focus on a young Haymitch Abernathy’s journey into the brutal 50th Hunger Games (the Second Quarter Quell), where the Capitol doubled the tributes and the bloodshed.

Based on Suzanne Collins’ 2025 novel of the same name, the new film marks the sixth chapter in the franchise and a seamless bridge between The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and the original trilogy. Francis Lawrence returns to direct, guiding a sprawling ensemble through one of the darkest chapters Panem has seen yet. This time, the spotlight falls on Joseph Zada (from Amazon’s We Were Liars) as young Haymitch, a sharp, stubborn District 12 kid who’s about to become the Capitol’s next televised obsession — long before Woody Harrelson’s jaded version ever met Katniss.

Stacked with a star-studded cast to reshape the mythology of the franchise, let’s break down who’s who:

• Glenn Close plays Capitol chaperone Drusilla Sickle, a showwoman whose emotions are hard to detect, partly due to her extensive facelifts.

• Ralph Fiennes steps in as President Snow, now further cementing his tyrannical rise after mentoring Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler, from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) decades earlier.

• Jesse Plemons appears as a young Plutarch Heavensbee, still a cameraman learning how the Games are manipulated. He will eventually become the Head Gamemaker for the 75th Games, portrayed in the original films by the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman.

• Kieran Culkin channels the eccentric charm of a young Caesar Flickerman, the character played so memorably by Stanley Tucci in the earlier movies.

• Meanwhile, Elle Fanning and Billy Porter add extra Capitol flair as stylists Effie Trinket and Magno Stift. Note: Elizabeth Banks originated Effie in the original films.

District 12’s lineup features:

• Mckenna Grace as Maysilee Donner, owner of the iconic Mockingjay pin.

• Ben Wang as fellow tribute Wyatt Callow.

• And Whitney Peak as Lenore Dove Baird, Haymitch’s girlfriend.

And because Panem loves its returning victors, we’ve got: Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, and Kelvin Harrison Jr. expanding the franchise’s deeper lore as Wiress, Mags, and Beetee — each carrying the scars of earlier Games.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is slated to arrive in theaters and IMAX on November 20, 2026. So, you’ve got a whole year to catch up on the books and maybe rewatch the films before the arena doors swing open once more.

🎥 “Hoppers” Trailer: A Teen Girl Uploads Her Brain Into a Robot Beaver and Sparks an Animal Uprising in Pixar’s Latest Eco-Comedy — In Theaters March 6th, 2026

Ever asked yourself if animals communicate, and if they do, what do they say to each other? Well, the answer might surprise you... and make you wonder if humans should be “squished” for what they’ve done to them.

Pixar’s latest feature Hoppers asks the question: if we have the technology to communicate with animals, what happens when a skateboarding teen girl sneaks into a science lab, accidentally uploads her brain into a realistic-looking robot beaver, and starts living among wild creatures in their own habitat?

Well, you get something like Avatar, only instead of tall blue alien warriors, it’s a bunch of furry critters. But here’s the thing: they’re also fed up with human interference, launching a revolt against everything we’ve taken, broken, or bulldozed without a second thought.

Written and directed by We Bare Bears creator Daniel Chong, Hoppers follows Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda), a tenacious teen who stumbles onto a breakthrough that connects human consciousness with realistic robotic animal bodies. Which means she gets front-row access to what the forest’s furriest residents really think about humans. Spoiler: the reviews aren’t glowing. It seems these wild animals are fed up with human-produced environmental destruction.

But when a corporate construction giant rolls in to bulldoze a protected wildlife sanctuary, Mabel’s newfound robotic-beaver form becomes the forest’s unlikeliest defender. She helps launch an animal uprising as if she were the Joan of Arc of beavers.

In other words: imagine Avatar if Jake Sully had buck teeth and had gone through a crash course in “pond rules” — a brutal, adorable nature-survival code that basically boils down to: don’t ask questions, don’t get eaten, and if things go south… pray it’s quick. It’s Darwinism with more mud, more menace, and way more Pixar charm.

Also featuring voices from Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, and Demetri Martin, Hoppers promises to have just enough heart to make you emotional about how we treat our furry neighbors who usually don’t have a say in how we treat this planet.

Gear up for gadgets, giggles, and a whole lot of eco-mayhem when Hoppers chews its way into theaters March 6, 2026.

🎥 “The Moment” Teaser Trailer: Charli XCX Spirals Through Fame, Identity & Pop-Star Overload in A24’s Darkly Satiric Fever Dream — Hitting Theaters January 30th

The plight of the pop star has always been a source of fascination for Hollywood, as numerous films about the music business continue to explore the highs, lows, and emotional toll of fame. Think A Star Is Born, Dreamgirls, Purple Rain, Walk Hard as just a few examples in recent years of the movie industry trying to capitalize on that enduring allure.

But now Charli XCX has entered the picture. And she’s turning “Brat Summer” into her own full-blown cinematic moment as she steps into her first leading film role. Granted, she’s playing a semi-fictional version of herself, but nevertheless it marks an interesting new chapter in her pop-star evolution.

Directed by Scottish music-video helmer Aidan Zamiri, working from an original idea by Charli XCX herself, The Moment follows the British pop singer and songwriter as she plunges into a neon-lit pressure cooker where underground cool collides with mainstream expectation. On the brink of launching an arena-packed world tour, Charli finds herself swamped by late-night studio sessions, brand, press, and agent meetings, and the basic grind of preparing for a tour. Caught between evolution and a mild identity crisis, she soon hits the fear of losing the spark that made her worth watching in the first place.

So, what happens when your sound, your image, and your ambition are suddenly too big for a person to handle? The answer may lie in this darkly satiric fever dream about both the artistry and the machinery of being a star.

In addition to Charli XCX, the supporting cast reads like a who’s who that includes Rachel Sennott, Jaime Demetriou, Rosanna Arquette, Hailey Benton Gates, Kate Berlant, Isaac Powell, Alexander Skarsgård, and yes — even Kylie Jenner among those who orbit Charli’s world. Some push her forward, some pull her apart, all of them contributing to the messy symphony of what happens when hype becomes lifestyle and lifestyle becomes brand.

Co-written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes, The Moment is slated to hit theaters January 30th, via A24.

🎥 “The Chronology of Water” Trailer: Kristen Stewart Makes a Bold Directorial Debut With a Lyrical, Unflinching Adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s Memoir Starring Imogen Poots — In Select Theaters December 5th, Expanding Nationwide January 9th

In some ways, memory is a little like water — particularly the memories of a troubled past. Sometimes it can wash over you in waves, plunge you into deeper currents of emotion, and before you even know it, drag you under and spit you out somewhere you didn’t expect to be.

Kristen Stewart makes her feature directorial debut with The Chronology of Water, a raw, vulnerable adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch’s cult-favorite memoir of the same name. And from the looks of it, Stewart leans hard into the water motif, shaping a lyrical visual collage about a woman grappling with addiction and heartbreak as her memories pull her under, rise to the surface, and reshape who she becomes.

English actress Imogen Poots (Amazon’s Outer Range) stars as Lidia, a former competitive swimmer whose traumatic childhood in a toxic Pacific Northwest household has long been an anchor dragging behind her — fueling addiction, self-destruction, and a lifelong ache she can’t quite outrun. As she moves through memories like waves breaking against stone — sometimes soft, sometimes violent — she’s forced to crack herself open in ways both painful and necessary to move forward and step into a new life as a new mother.

Setting out to prove she’s a filmmaker to be taken seriously, Stewart embraces Yuknavitch’s nonlinear structure, letting scenes bleed into one another rather than slotting neatly into the order of a traditional biography. The result is something closer to a cinematic mosaic: part survival story, part self-discovery, and part howl into the void. Memory is messy. But trauma and personal pain have never been simple or easily translated.

Poots is backed by a strong supporting cast that includes Thora Birch, Susannah Flood, Tom Sturridge, Kim Gordon, Michael Epp, and Jim Belushi — each surfacing in the currents of Lidia’s life as influences, obstacles, or ghosts.

The Chronology of Water will arrive in select theaters December 5th before expanding nationwide on January 9th.

🎥 “The Best You Can” Trailer: Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick Bring Their Natural Chemistry to This Warm, Offbeat Romance About Second Chances — On VOD/Digital November 25th

Pop quiz! Who’s your favorite Hollywood couple? If your answer is Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick... well, get ready to have a grin on your face.

Bacon and Sedgwick, who have been a real-life married couple for almost 37 years, have gotten another chance to star in a movie together. And it looks like the kind of harmless romp that leans into the couple’s natural chemistry and easygoing charm.

The Best You Can sees Bacon as Stan Olszewski, a lifelong underachiever with a sharp mind and zero direction, clinging to the faint hope of reconnecting with his estranged daughter Sammi (Brittany O’Grady). Sedgwick plays Cynthia Rand, a respected urologist who has spent years constructing a normal life with a stately Brooklyn home and a marriage to Warren Rand (Judd Hirsch), a famed Watergate prosecutor now slipping into dementia.

Stan and Cynthia’s paths collide when Stan stops a break-in at Cynthia’s home — a chaotic moment that sparks an unconventional friendship built on late-night texts, dark humor, and the kind of candor neither of them gets anywhere else. What starts as emotional refuge slowly shifts into romantic territory, forcing them to reexamine the lives they’ve settled for, the futures they’ve imagined, and the unspoken loneliness that brought them together in the first place.

Written and directed by veteran TV producer-writer Michael J. Weithorn (Family Ties, The Goldbergs), the film is a reminder that connections can form in the cracks and when you least expect it.

The Best You Can will arrive on VOD/Digital November 25th.

🎥 “Wuthering Heights” Trailer: Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie Ignite a Dark, Stormy Romance in Emerald Fennell’s Reimagining of Emily Brontë’s Classic Gothic Novel — In Theaters February 13th, 2026

Okay, let’s face it. Jacob Elordi has the power to make women swoon with nothing more than a glance and a grin. Even buried beneath all that horrific prosthetic makeup in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, the towering Australian actor managed to radiate enough unexpected warmth to break through the monster exterior and become a strangely sympathetic figure audiences couldn’t help but root for.

Now imagine Elordi with no makeup effects whatsoever, just his effortless movie-star aura doing all the heavy lifting. Something tells us more than a few viewers will be swooning when they see him in Wuthering Heights, the visually lavish new adaptation of Emily Brontë’s gothic romance from Emerald Fennell, the Oscar-winning writer-director behind Promising Young Woman and Saltburn.

Like Frankenstein, Elordi might be perfect casting to play Heathcliff, the brooding orphan at the center of this dark and vengeful tale of passion gone awry. This also marks his second collaboration with Fennell following Saltburn, the provocative, sexually charged thriller that famously turned Elordi and Barry Keoghan into an eyebrow-raising internet meme involving a bathtub and some very questionable bathwater.

Here, Elordi stars opposite fellow Aussie Margot Robbie, who previously worked with Fennell as a producer on her earlier films—though this marks the first time Robbie steps in front of the camera for the English filmmaker.

In the film, Elordi’s Heathcliff harbors an all-consuming obsession with Catherine Earnshaw, the spirited daughter of his benefactor, played by Robbie. Raised together at Wuthering Heights and long believed to be soulmates, Heathcliff and Catherine ignite a torrid yet doomed love story—one that spirals into jealousy, betrayal, and generations of bitterness haunting everyone touched by their fractured romance.

Never one to play it safe, Fennell appears to have transformed Brontë’s vision into something far less like a polite period drama and more like the kind of torrid, wind-tossed romance novel you’d hide in your nightstand drawer—with Elordi’s Heathcliff as the smoldering paperback cover model. But we expect things to eventually combust into an unhinged storm of lust, heartbreak, and gothic fury before the credits roll.

Joining Elordi and Robbie are Oscar-nominated actress Hong Chau (The Whale), Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery), Alison Oliver (Task), Ewan Mitchell (House of the Dragon), and Martin Clunes (Doc Martin).

Wuthering Heights storms into theaters on Valentine’s Day, February 13, 2026... perfect for anyone who believes a romantic night out should involve passion, vengeance, and at least one emotionally destructive soulmate.

🎥 “Cold Storage” Trailer: Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell & Liam Neeson Battle a Mutant Fungal Outbreak in David Koepp’s Darkly Comic Bio-Terror Thriller — In Theaters February 13th, 2026

They say curiosity kills the cat. But for two lowly unit storage clerks working the night shift, curiosity might not just kill the cat... it might kill everyone on this planet.

In the upcoming darkly comic bio-terror Cold Storage, Joe Keery (Stranger Things) and Georgina Campbell (Barbarian) lead the way as two underpaid storage-facility employees who discover that part of their workplace once doubled as a hush-hush military site. Naturally, they poke around where they shouldn’t, stumble across a forgotten sub-basement, and accidentally unleash an infectious fungus that should’ve stayed buried forever. It’s the kind of mistake that really makes one rethink why they call it the graveyard shift.

When the outbreak starts to scatter through the air, turning rodents and other animals into zombie-like creatures, they’re forced to team up with a grizzled bioterror operative played by none other than Liam Neeson. Their mission: contain the mutative fungal virus before it spreads to nearby towns or risk letting an extinction-level crisis seep into the world. No pressure, right? Just another night at the old storage unit.

With Sosie Bacon (Smile) playing Neeson’s bioterror scientist partner, alongside Oscar-nominee Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) and Oscar-winner Vanessa Redgrave (Julia) rounding out the cast as two women fighting off hordes of infected critters.

Directed by TV helmer Jonny Campbell (Westworld, Doctor Who), Cold Storage is written and produced by veteran filmmaker David Koepp, best known for penning blockbusters like Jurassic Park (1993), Mission: Impossible (1996), Spider-Man (2002), and Panic Room (2002). The film is based on Koepp’s debut novel of the same name and leans hard into his signature blend of high-concept sci-fi horror with a darkly comic streak.

Cold Storage is due to infect theaters on February 13, 2026. Maybe bring a mask. Or a flamethrower, just to be on the safe side.

🎥 “Goodbye June” Trailer: Kate Winslet Makes Her Directorial Debut With a Heart-Shattering Holiday Family Drama Starring Helen Mirren, Toni Collette & Andrea Riseborough — In Select Theaters December 12th and on Netflix December 24th

After a 30-year career in acting, Kate Winslet has pretty much done it all. She has won the Academy Award, two Emmy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, and five Golden Globes. Without a doubt, she is one of the best actors of her generation.

But that old adage about how all actors secretly want to direct seems to be true, as Winslet makes her directorial debut with this new Netflix original. And it will likely make you weep like a baby and hug your loved ones tighter than ever before when it hits the streaming platform this Christmas. Because nothing says “home for the holidays” like a tear-jerking family drama about making amends before letting go of someone you love dearly.

Goodbye June, Winslet’s feature directorial debut, is a star-studded British family drama wrapped in holiday lights, sharp dry humor, and the kind of heartache that hits a little too close to home — especially for those who’ve ever had to face saying goodbye to a parent in the final stretch of their life. So, break out those handkerchiefs; this is an emotional grenade ready to go off the moment you press play.

Set in the days leading up to Christmas, the film follows four adult siblings whose mother’s sudden health decline throws their already-messy family dynamic into absolute disarray. June (played by Oscar-winner Helen Mirren) isn’t going quietly. She orchestrates her final chapter with blunt honesty, mischievous humor, and enough emotional truth to shake every member of her family to their core. It’s heartbreaking. It’s cathartic. And it’s brutally human.

In addition to taking on the directing duties, Winslet also stars alongside a powerhouse ensemble that includes Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense) as the frazzled sibling barely holding it together, Andrea Riseborough (Leslie) as the emotionally guarded sister, and Johnny Flynn (upcoming Harry Potter series) as the son trying (and failing) to outrun the weight of his family’s looming emotional baggage. Timothy Spall (Harry Potter films) rounds things out as Bernie, the bewildered patriarch suddenly navigating the loss of his anchor.

Goodbye June is scheduled to arrive in select US and UK theaters on December 12th before landing on Netflix Christmas Eve, December 24th. Bring some tissues... and maybe two boxes this time.

🎥 “100 Nights of Hero” Trailer: Maika Monroe, Emma Corrin & Nicholas Galitzine Ignite a Passionate Tale of Love, Lust, and Betrayal in Julia Jackman’s Fairy Tale Fantasy Based on Isabel Greenberg’s Acclaimed Graphic Novel — In Theaters December 5th

What do you get when you cross The Arabian Nights with a queer-coded fairy tale, a gothic fever dream, and a dash of pop-star mischief? 100 Nights of Hero is a visually sumptuous fantasy that reimagines ancient folklore through a modern, feminist lens. And yes, pop star Charli XCX makes her first major screen appearance in this one.

Based on Isabel Greenberg’s acclaimed graphic novel and written and directed by Julia Jackman (Bonus Track), 100 Nights of Hero stars Maika Monroe (Longlegs) as Cherry, a young bride trapped in a loveless marriage. Soon, she becomes the unwilling subject of a cruel wager devised by her husband, Jerome (Amir El-Masry, Limbo), who vows to test her fidelity over the course of one hundred nights. What Jerome doesn’t know, however, is that Cherry’s heart already belongs to someone else: her devoted maid, Hero, played by Deadpool & Wolverine’s Emma Corrin. Together, the two women navigate desire, deception, and defiance under the ever-watchful glow of the moon.

Enter Manfred (Nicholas Galitzine, from the upcoming Masters of the Universe reboot), a dangerously charming nobleman whose flirtations blur the line between temptation and threat. Set up as the suitor in Jerome’s wager, Manfred bets that he can succeed where Jerome has failed: to seduce Cherry and produce an heir for his aristocratic bloodline. If Manfred succeeds, he wins a castle of his own. But Jerome is certain of one thing: Cherry will never let another man touch her... for reasons he has yet to discover.

As desire and tension mount, the story unfolds into an unlikely love triangle between Cherry, Hero, and Manfred, as Cherry finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Manfred’s seductive charm. What’s a new bride to do when love, loyalty, and lust all demand her heart at once?

Aside from Charli XCX, who appears in the supporting cast, Richard E. Grant co-stars as the enigmatic Birdman, and Felicity Jones as the ethereal Moon and voice of the Narrator.

Shot with painterly precision by cinematographer Xenia Patricia and crafted by a predominantly female creative team, 100 Nights of Hero is scheduled to open in theaters December 5th.

🎥 “Rosemead” Trailer: Lucy Liu Delivers a Career-Defining Performance as a Mother Facing the Unthinkable in This Devastating Mother-Son Drama with Lawrence Shou — In Theaters and On VOD/Digital December 5th

Most fans of Lucy Liu may best remember her as the sexy yet formidable Yakuza-connected assassin in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part martial arts epic Kill Bill, the feisty undercover agent in the 2000 Charlie’s Angels remake, or perhaps as the sassy, quick-witted lawyer in Fox’s long-running legal dramedy Ally McBeal. No matter which role you may recall, Liu has always brought a magnetic blend of confidence, poise, and beauty to every character she’s portrayed. But it seems she has now entered a new stage of her career—one defined not by charisma or elegance, but by the challenge of truly losing herself in a role. So, prepare to see Lucy Liu like you’ve never seen her before.

Inspired by a heartbreaking true story, Rosemead delivers what could be one of Liu’s most powerful performances yet as an immigrant mother caught in a storm of love, fear, and impossible choices.

The drama follows Irene, a distressed Chinese mother (Liu) battling a terminal illness while struggling to protect her Chinese American teenage son Joe (newcomer Lawrence Shou), whose descent into schizophrenia threatens to tear apart what remains of their fragile family. Once a standout student and star swimmer at Rosemead High, Joe’s life unraveled after his father’s death. Now, as his violent impulses grow harder to ignore, Irene faces the unthinkable: how far a parent will go to protect her child—and others—from harm.

The film marks the feature directorial debut of Eric Lin, an accomplished cinematographer whose past work includes The Sound of Silence, Hearts Beat Loud, and I Smile Back. It’s also a passion project for Lucy Liu, who spent over seven years bringing it to life and serves as a producer.

Supported by a strong ensemble of mostly Asian American actors—including Orion Lee, Jennifer Lim, Madison Hu, and James Chen—the film shines a light on the internal struggles within the Asian American community surrounding mental health and the difficulty of seeking help for such deeply personal issues.

Following its world premiere at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, where critics hailed Liu’s performance as career-redefining, Rosemead is now set to arrive in theaters and on VOD December 5th.

🎥 “Atropia” Trailer: Alia Shawkat Blurs the Line Between Acting and Reality in Hailey Gates’ Absurdist War Drama with Callum Turner — In Select Theaters December 12th

Two decades ago, America’s war on terror was something that people took extremely seriously—to the extent that few stopped to consider the long-term consequences such a campaign would have on the country. Now, with enough distance, this subject can be viewed with both a more critical eye and a sharper sense of satire.

So, with that in mind, welcome to Atropia—where war is theater, love is unscripted, and reality has a terrible sense of humor.

Written and directed by Hailey Gates in her feature debut and produced by Luca Guadagnino, this razor-sharp satire targets the American military’s obsession with preparedness through elaborate simulations and reenactments, all while never pausing to question the true purpose behind such tactics of urban warfare.

In the film, Arrested Development alum Alia Shawkat stars as Fayruz, an aspiring actress hired to perform in a bizarre military role-playing facility designed to mimic life in a fictional Middle Eastern nation called Atropia. Her job? To sell the illusion of war to soldiers in training. But when Fayruz, acting as a local insurgent, falls for an American soldier (played by Callum Turner, Masters of the Air), the lines between acting and authenticity begin to blur—and their off-script emotions ignite something dangerously real.

Drawing from the surreal true-to-life concept of U.S. military mock cities—complete with civilians, markets, and orchestrated chaos staged for combat drills, Atropia transforms this strange machinery of make-believe into biting social commentary. Perhaps in the fabrication of war, the only thing more bizarre than the performance itself is believing one can ever be truly prepared for it.

Writer-director Hailey Gates, who previously explored this world in her 2019 short film Shako Mako (also starring Shawkat), expands her vision into a full-scale absurdist portrait of modern warfare’s theater of the absurd.

With a stellar supporting cast including Zahra Alzubaidi, Jane Levy, Tim Heidecker, Lola Kirke, and Chloë Sevigny, Atropia is slated to open in select theaters December 12th.

🎥 “H Is for Hawk” Trailer: Claire Foy Finds Healing in Nature in “The Crown” Director Philippa Lowthorpe’s Soulful Adaptation of Helen MacDonald’s Beloved Memoir — Opening in Theaters January 23rd

Grief takes flight in H Is for Hawk, a quietly powerful adaptation of Helen MacDonald’s bestselling 2014 memoir that turns loss into something achingly beautiful.

Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe (Misbehaviour, The Crown), the film reunites her with The Crown alum Claire Foy, who delivers a deeply felt performance as Helen, a woman navigating heartbreak through the fierce, unpredictable bond between human and bird.

After the sudden death of her father (played by The Banshees of Inisherin’s Brendan Gleeson), Helen retreats into solitude, haunted by memories of their shared love for the natural world. In her grief, she turns to falconry (the ancient art of training birds of prey) and begins working with a wild goshawk she names Mabel. What starts as an act of endurance slowly evolves into something more profound: a lesson in patience, surrender, and letting go; all things she must learn to apply to her own process of grief.

As Helen teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, she’s forced to confront her own need for release—from pain, from isolation, from the impossible task of holding on to the past. Through this process, she rediscovers her strength and capacity for life beyond loss.

Co-starring Denise Gough, Sam Spruell, and Lindsay Duncan, H Is for Hawk is a meditative story where nature mirrors emotion, soaring as an intimate portrait of anguish and rebirth.

H Is for Hawk will open in theaters in December for a one-week awards-qualifying run before officially opening theatrically nationwide on January 23rd.
