đ„ âRosebush Pruningâ Trailer: Jamie Bell Brings His Girlfriend (Elle Fanning) Home to His Twisted Wealthy Family in This Dark Satirical Thriller From the Writer of âDogtoothâ, Also Starring Callum Turner, Riley Keough & Tracy Letts â 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 isnât something to cherish... itâs something to escape. âCause 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 whoâs 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 familyâs 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 isnât just another awkward reunion... itâs a night theyâll never forget.
Loosely inspired by Marco Bellocchioâs 1965 Italian satirical film Fists in the Pocket, about a manâs murder plot to free his ânormalâ brother from the burden of their dysfunctional family, the film is directed by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Karim AĂŻnouz (Futuro Beach, Firebrand), working from an adapted screenplay by Efthimis Filippou, the frequent collaborator of Yorgos Lanthimos.
Given Filippouâs track recordâco-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)âthereâs an expectation of discomfort baked right into the premise. This looks like a family satire that doesnât 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 yearâs Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. So expect nothing short of something deeply unsettling and impossible to look away from.
đ„ âThe Furiousâ Trailer: Xie Miao and Joe Taslim Unleash Bone-Crunching Mayhem in a Relentless Martial Arts Revenge Thriller â Coming to Theaters May 29th
Anyone who grew up on Jackie Chanâs 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, weâve seen a few exciting throwbacks like The Raid films and the John Wick franchise, but they havenât 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 âoh shitâ moments.
A big part of the appeal is watching highly skilled fighters go at it as if thereâs no safety net in place, where every punch and kick feels ferocious and just a little out of control. Itâs 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. Thatâs 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.
Weiâs 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 donât just escalate... they explode to levels of all-out carnage.
Japanese-born Hong Kong action choreographerâturnedâfilmmaker 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⊠âcuz weâre sure it wonât pull a single punch.
đ„ âHeads or Tailsâ Trailer: John C. Reilly Plays Legendary Gunslinger Buffalo Bill as He Brings His Wild West Tour to Italy in This Spaghetti Western Throwback â In Theaters and on VOD/Digital April 10th
Ah, the Old West. The myths, the legends, the landscapes, and the gunslingers; itâs 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 â70s 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-âem-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 Billâs 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 Santinoâs 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.
đ„ âFaces of Deathâ New Trailer: Barbie Ferreira Plays a Content Moderator Pulled Into a Twisted World of Real or Staged Horror â 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 weâve 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 havenât 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 Deathâonly cleaner, more deliberate, and possibly realâthe job turns into a twisted test of what is forbidden, what is real, and what is ignored for usersâ consumption.
The deeper she digs, the harder it is to tell if sheâs 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 â70s and â80s, 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 canât look away, no matter how hard you try to scroll it off your For You page.
Faces of Death hits theaters April 10th.
