Trailer Blitz! Madden, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, Apex, The Rip & More
🎥 Here's a list of films coming to screens soon!
🎥 “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.
🎥 “Primate” Featurette: Oscar Winner Troy Kotsur Explores Silent Terror as a Pet Chimp Turns Predator in This Behind-the-Scenes Clip — In Theaters January 9th

Kotsur plays the patriarch of a family who have adopted and brought a chimpanzee into their home, only to have the well-intentioned gesture spiral into a nightmare when the animal’s behavior grows increasingly unpredictable and dangerous.
🎥 “The Well” Trailer: A Desperate Fight Over a Secret Freshwater Supply Erupts in This Canadian Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller — Arriving on VOD/Digital March 20th
In a parched near-future where H2O is the only currency that matters, director Hubert Davis delivers a sun-scorched Canadian survival thriller that asks how far family loyalty can stretch when survival is on the line. When a wounded stranger stumbles onto a young woman’s carefully hidden water reserve, desperation sets in fast. 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.

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.

Based on the hit Wattpad novel, this Spanish teen romance asks whether you can truly fall for someone you’ve never seen—suggesting that love might actually be blind, or at least radio-friendly. Berta Castañé stars as an isolated young listener who finds comfort in a mysterious radio show during a health crisis, only to discover her heart is slowly locking onto the voice on the other end. Tender and earnest, the film comes from filmmakers Ines Pintor and Pablo Santidrián, tuning into first love, loneliness, and emotional connection in a world where voices can mean everything.
