New Trailers! The Drama & Mercy

🎥 Zendaya and Robert Pattinson unravel in pre-wedding jitters while Chris Pratt battles a chilling A.I. justice system!

🎥 “The Drama” Teaser Trailer: Zendaya and Robert Pattinson Navigate a Pre-Wedding Meltdown in A24’s Uncomfortable Modern Love Story From ‘Dream Scenario’ Director Kristoffer Borgli — In Theaters April 3rd

Oh, to fall in love in times like these... where the world feels increasingly detached and the state of everything appears to be on the verge of uncertainty. It’s no wonder any couple might find themselves getting cold feet in this day and age. It’s tough for anyone to find love, but to commit to it... now, that’s a whole different leap.

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, two of the biggest stars working today, get the chance to fall in love on screen. Only this time, it’s a love story caught in the throes of doubt, revelation, and the kind of emotional fallout that can twist “happily ever after” into something unexpectedly awkward and fragile. Perhaps modern love in a nutshell.

The Drama is the latest A24 production coming down the pike in 2026, cementing the studio as a reigning force in intimate, off-kilter relationship stories that aren’t afraid to get messy nor awkwardly comical as two lovebirds race toward their marriage date, only to find themselves stumbling over the uncomfortable truth of possibly falling out of love.

In the upcoming film, Zendaya plays Emma, a feisty local bookstore clerk who believed she’d found her soulmate in Charlie (Pattinson), a charming museum director from London. But once they fall in love and announce their wedding plans, the smallest doubts begin to creep in — quiet at first, then loud enough to fracture everything they thought they knew.

And the closer their wedding date comes, the louder their second thoughts begin to reverberate until troubling revelations send their pre-wedding bliss into free fall. Now, having their pre-wedding photos taken becomes an achingly uncomfortable experience between two people who feel cornered by expectations, family pressure, and a love that seems to be losing its spark.

After all, they say more and more younger people are postponing marriage these days. And this new film seems determined to lean right into that anxiety, holding up a mirror to the quiet panic that can settle in when forever starts to feel a little less certain. And it helps when you’ve got two of the biggest stars willing to play it raw, vulnerable, and uncomfortably honest.

Featuring supporting turns from Mamoudou Athie, Alana Haim, Hailey Gates, and Zoë Winters as a professional wedding photographer who reassures the couple that the photos will eventually turn out like they’re supposed to (fingers crossed), The Drama is written and directed by acclaimed Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli.

It seems to be a bit of a left turn from Borgli’s last outing, the darkly comic Dream Scenario, where Nicolas Cage spiraled into a public nightmare after mysteriously showing up in random strangers’ dreams. Here, however, Borgli shifts his gaze from surreal mass hysteria in the social-media age to modern love on the brink, where the terror isn’t instant fame but the fear of choosing the wrong person for the rest of your life.

With filmmaker Ari Aster stepping in as producer, working under his Square Peg production banner, The Drama tackles the idea of love as something devastatingly intimate, ridiculously uncomfortable, and gratefully agitated... especially when two lovers are staring down the aisle while wondering if they’re walking toward a promise or a trap.

The Drama opens in theaters April 3rd. So, you’re accordingly invited to the year’s most apprehensive wedding, where the “I dos” feel more like “are you sure?”

🎥 “Mercy” New Trailer & Featurette: Chris Pratt Faces a Cold, Coded Justice System in Timur Bekmambetov’s Race-Against-Time A.I. Thriller with Rebecca Ferguson — In Theaters January 23rd

Welcome to the future, where we live in a surveillance state and A.I. is now choosing what is the law. Now, if you’re saying that’s not the future, it’s the present... well, we can’t seem to argue with that either. But in this context, we’re talking about Chris Pratt’s latest starring vehicle, where he’s been unjustly convicted of murdering his wife and has only 90 minutes to prove otherwise. So, will he catch the real murderer, or will this new A.I.-controlled judicial system seal his fate before he ever gets the chance?

From Russian-born action helmer Timur Bekmambetov, perhaps best known for directing the hyper-kinetic comic-book adaptation Wanted, Mercy is a new high-concept, near-future thriller that literally straps Chris Pratt into a chair and gives him the whole runtime of the movie to convince an A.I. judge he didn’t murder his wife. No jury. No appeals. Just a machine calculating the probability of his guilt while the clock devours whatever hope he has left.

Rebecca Ferguson, currently juggling the threat of nuclear war in this year’s ticking-clock Netflix thriller A House of Dynamite, now gets to flex her green-screen prowess as the human embodiment of an A.I. judge — the cool, unblinking face of a system where justice isn’t just cold... it’s coded.

Here, Pratt takes on the role of Detective Chris Raven, a once-respected L.A. cop in the year 2029 whose world collapses after he’s accused of killing his spouse, played by Malignant’s Annabelle Wallis. As this new revolutionary judicial system takes over — one that merges judge, jury, and executioner into a single automated entity, and one he helped create — Chris finds himself facing the ultimate nightmare: proving his innocence to a machine that no longer trusts him.

It seems justice is no longer asking questions. It processes inputs and data to reach its conclusions. And it doesn’t care if you’re trembling in the hot seat. Detective Raven quite literally is, strapped into a chair and given a strict amount of time to scour hours of drone footage, security feeds, and police evidence at his disposal for a chance to find anything that might set him free.

And with the clock ticking down, and as he furiously traces his wife’s final hours using every scrap of digital evidence he can get his hands on, it comes down to one terrifying truth: if Chris can’t uncover the real killer in time, the law will have no choice but to let them go scot-free. The problem is, can he trust a machine to do the right thing when its programming is built to be as rigid and remorseless as the system it serves?

Co-starring Chris Sullivan, Kenneth Choi, Rafi Gavron, and Kylie Rogers, the film also dips into the “screen-life” genre, a found-footage subcategory pioneered by director Timur Bekmambetov in which the story is told largely through computer and phone screens and security footage. Bekmambetov has spent the last decade producing a string of “screen-life” thrillers, including Unfriended (2014), Searching (2018), Profile (2018), and War of the Worlds (2025).

Written by Marco van Belle, Mercy is slated to open in theaters January 23rd.
