🎥 Here’s a list of films coming to screens soon!
🎥 “In the Hand of Dante” Trailer: Oscar Isaac Travels Through Art, Crime, and Madness in Julian Schnabel’s Time-Spanning Thriller with Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino & Jason Momoa — Premiering June 24th on Netflix
Julian Schnabel is not exactly the easiest filmmaker to pin down.
The painter-turned-director has built a film career out of wildly different subjects, though he often seems drawn to artists, writers, and tortured souls trying to create something meaningful while life, ego, obsession, and self-doubt keep getting in the way. From Basquiat to The Diving Bell and the Butterfly to At Eternity’s Gate, Schnabel has shown a fascination with the messy, punishing act of making art... and the complicated people who can’t seem to live without it or survive it.
His latest film, In the Hand of Dante, sounds like another strange, ambitious dive into that same territory, only this time with a little more crime, violence, and possibly a whole lot of literary madness, as parallel timelines are used to connect the past to the present and vice versa.
Oscar Isaac stars in dual roles as modern-day writer Nick Tosches and 14th-century poet Dante Alighieri, two men separated by centuries but connected by obsession, beauty, love, and the search for something divine.
In the present-day storyline, Nick is pulled into a dangerous criminal scheme after a handwritten manuscript of The Divine Comedy is said to have surfaced from the Vatican Library. Recruited by a mob boss to authenticate and help steal the priceless text, he descends into an underworld where literature becomes currency, faith becomes leverage, and desire turns destructive.
Meanwhile, the film also follows Dante as he searches for the inspiration behind his greatest work, turning the story into a parallel journey through art, violence, and spiritual longing.
Schnabel directs from a script he co-wrote with Louise Kugelberg, adapting Nick Tosches’ novel of the same name.
The cast is stacked, with all-star talent like Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Gal Gadot, Louis Cancelmi, Sabrina Impacciatore, Franco Nero, and Benjamin Clementine, along with out-of-left-field guest appearances from Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, and Jason Momoa joining Isaac in what sounds like one seriously odd literary-crime fever dream.
In the Hand of Dante is slated to premiere June 24th on Netflix. Art may be eternal, but apparently, so are decisions we can’t outrun.
🎥 “Spa Weekend” Trailer: Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau & Anna Faris Turn Self-Care Into Full-Blown Chaos in New Comedy — Hitting Theaters August 21st
A luxury spa weekend with Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau, and Anna Faris sounds like exactly the kind of thing that should involve massages, champagne, fluffy robes, and maybe one emotionally honest conversation in a steam room.
But since this is coming from Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writing-directing team behind the rowdy comedies The Hangover and Bad Moms, we’re guessing peace and relaxation are not exactly on the itinerary. In fact, one could expect plenty of bruised egos and deeply questionable deeds.
Spa Weekend follows four lifelong friends who realize they’ve let careers, relationships, families, and the usual daily grind shove their friendship to the side. Burned out and long overdue for a break, they head to a luxury spa retreat hoping to reconnect, unwind, and maybe remember what it feels like to put themselves first for once.
But soon, things go off the rails... and we do mean very far from relaxation.
What begins as a weekend of massages, champagne, and self-care quickly spirals into ill-advised decisions, awkward encounters, and the kind of escalating comic chaos that tends to happen when grown adults finally get a little too much freedom. Think less calming cucumber water and more four-woman midlife meltdown with a resort bill attached.
Mann, Fisher, Buteau, and Faris lead the ensemble, with Yasmin Kassim, Adam Demos, Dominic Ona-Ariki, and Stephen Hunter rounding out the cast.
Lucas and Moore have made a career out of taking ordinary adult responsibilities and pushing them into full-blown meltdown mode, so Spa Weekend looks right in their wheelhouse: a female-led friendship comedy about the messy joy of remembering who you were before life got so exhausting.
Spa Weekend opens in theaters August 21st.
🎥 “The Get Out” Trailer: Russell Crowe Gets Dragged Back Into the Criminal Underworld in Derrick Borte’s Hardboiled Crime Thriller with Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Nina Dobrev & Aaron Paul — Hitting Theaters June 26th
If you asked us, we kind of like this phase of Russell Crowe’s career.
The Oscar-winning actor seems more than willing to take roles that let him swerve away from what we usually expect from him. Wildly questionable accents? Sure. Pulpy genre swings? Absolutely. Characters who feel less concerned with arthouse prestige and more interested in having a little fun? Even better.
That seems to be the vibe for Crowe’s latest, where he seems to be enjoying himself just enough to let loose without completely winking at the camera.
The Get Out is a new action-driven crime thriller that reunites Crowe with Unhinged director Derrick Borte. Here, Crowe stars as a nightclub owner trying to leave his dangerous past behind and settle into a quieter life with his girlfriend. Naturally, because this is a crime thriller, “quieter life” lasts about as long as a peaceful night at a nightclub owned by a guy with cartel problems.
The trouble starts when masked gunmen rob his club, dragging him back into the violent world he thought he had escaped. From there, his exit plan turns into a deadly game of survival as cartel pressure closes in and a mysterious buyer arrives with his own interest in taking over the business.
Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Nina Dobrev, Aaron Paul, Daniel Zovatto, and Kartiah Vergara round out the cast, giving Crowe plenty of dangerous company as the night spirals from bad business deal to full-blown criminal trap.
Directed by Borte and co-written with Daniel Forte, The Get Out is based on Thomas Perry’s novel Strip, which should give the film a nice hardboiled edge. And with Crowe back in bruiser mode, this one looks like it could be the kind of lean, nasty thriller where some last-minute decisions come with broken bones and very bad consequences.
The Get Out opens in limited release on June 26th.
🎥 “Citizen Vigilante” Trailer: Armie Hammer Takes Justice Into His Own Hands in Uwe Boll’s Grimy Revenge Thriller — Arriving in Theaters and on VOD/Digital June 19th
Armie Hammer and director Uwe Boll have just made a movie together.
Okay... admittedly, we can think of way better actor-director combos. And sure, this is not exactly the team-up we’ve been waiting years to see. But are we strangely curious to see what these two can cook up together? Yeah, a little. From the looks of things, Citizen Vigilante probably isn’t going to rock the very foundations of cinema, but it might scratch that grimy little revenge-thriller itch for some.
The new action thriller stars Hammer as Sanders, a wealthy American businessman living in Zagreb who becomes fed up with a justice system he believes has failed to punish violent criminals, rapists, and corrupt officials. So, naturally, he decides to take justice into his own hands. Because apparently therapy, charity work, or moving somewhere quieter were not dramatic enough options.
Before long, Sanders begins hunting offenders himself, turning into an underground vigilante whose brutal actions spread across social media. To some, he becomes a folk hero willing to do what institutions won’t. To others, he’s a dangerous criminal whose growing popularity threatens to send everything spiraling out of control.
Costas Mandylor co-stars as Interpol Chief Henry, the man determined to bring Sanders down before his bloody crusade turns him into something even more powerful than a criminal: a heroic symbol.
Written and directed by Boll, Citizen Vigilante is being pitched as a “Death Wish for the 21st century,” which feels like a bit of a stretch, even though conversations around justified vigilantism have remained very much in the public consciousness.
Boll, of course, has built a long and controversial career out of low-budget genre films, shlocky video-game adaptations, and provocation-heavy action cinema, so this definitely feels like familiar territory for him. Meanwhile, Hammer is still trying to find his footing after a very public scandal from several years ago, one that still hangs over any attempted comeback.
Citizen Vigilante opens in theaters and arrives on VOD/Digital June 19th.

🎥 “Fatherland” Trailer: Sandra Hüller & Hanns Zischler Journey Through Postwar Germany in Paweł Pawlikowski’s Cannes-Winning Historical Drama — Coming Soon

🎥 “We Are Pat” Trailer: Filmmaker Rowan Haber Revisits SNL’s ‘It’s Pat’ Through Today’s Conversations Around Gender, Comedy, and Queer Identity — On VOD/Digital June 23rd
A ’90s sketch gets pulled into a much bigger conversation. Directed by Rowan Haber, this documentary looks back at the origins of Saturday Night Live’s “It’s Pat,” examining how a character built around cultural anxiety over gender now speaks directly to today’s debates around transness, queerness, comedy, and representation. Featuring Julia Sweeney, Abby McEnany, Ally Beardsley, Joey Soloway, River Butcher, Sabrina Wu, Kevin Nealon, and more, this Tribeca Films release turns one strangely funny ’90s pop-culture artifact into a sharp look at how jokes age and take on new meaning for a new generation.

With a John Cale score and a hallucinatory trip through New York’s political and artistic underground, this restored 1996 indie landmark still has plenty of bite left, reminding us that fame and infamy have always shared the same dirty little spotlight.
