🎥 “The Liberation” Trailer: Carrie Coon Leaves Her Family for a Cult in Guy Nattiv’s Psychological Thriller with Lily James and Tracy Letts — In Select Theaters January 8th, Nationwide January 15th
Look, we already know Carrie Coon could read the phone book aloud and still have us hanging on every word. She’s just one of those actresses who’s immensely talented and somehow makes even the smallest moments feel compelling. But give her a juicy role that lets her explore a woman on the verge of a psychological breakdown, desperately searching for something more fulfilling than her everyday life, and you’ve got our undivided attention. ’Cause Carrie Coon is here to deliver.
With critics already praising her performance in her latest film, The Liberation, the Gilded Age and White Lotus star takes on the role of Rita Cooper, a wife and mother of two who has grown increasingly disappointed with her marriage and family life, which often feels like a thankless job. But when she crosses paths with a young, freewheeling bohemian woman (Lily James) who introduces her to a different, more spiritual way of living, Rita begins to fall under the spell of something new and exciting.
Soon, Rita finds herself at odds with her husband and children as she makes a difficult and impulsive decision: to leave her family behind and escape to a secluded, all-female commune, where she falls deeper under the influence of its charismatic cult leader.
With Tracy Letts (Carrie Coon’s real-life husband) playing Rita’s worried better half, alongside Bella Ramsey and Odessa Young as their daughters, the film, set in the early 1980s, explores the psychology of a woman so deeply dissatisfied with her life that she’s willing to abandon everything she knows for the promise of something better. But that newfound freedom may come at a dangerous cost, especially if it means losing her own identity and becoming someone entirely different.
Filmmaker Guy Nattiv, who won an Oscar for his neo-Nazi short film Skin, which he later expanded into a feature, and more recently co-directed the acclaimed Iranian women’s judo drama Tatami, co-writes and directs this psychological thriller, loosely inspired by his own grandmother’s experiences. Which, we gotta say, adds a sense of personal and emotional weight to the story, while giving Carrie Coon some seriously meaty material to sink her teeth into. The film is set to arrive in select theaters on January 8th before expanding nationwide on January 15th.
🎥 “The Gallerist” Trailer: Natalie Portman Turns a Dead Body Into the Hottest Work of Art in Town in Cathy Yan’s Dark Comedy, Starring Jenna Ortega, Zach Galifianakis, and Catherine Zeta-Jones — Hitting Theaters December 4th
The art world is fertile ground for satire, mainly because it’s filled with pompous a-holes. And really, who gets to decide what’s good art and what’s bad art? What’s worth a fortune and what’s not worth a damn? But if you think about it, it’s also a microcosm of everything wrong with elitism and the absurd lengths people will go to just to appear cultured, sophisticated, and important.
Natalie Portman stars as Polina Polinski, a struggling Miami gallery owner who finds herself in one hell of a predicament in this dark comedy. Zach Galifianakis plays an arrogant art influencer who accidentally impales himself on one of the sculptures. Fearing she might get slapped with a murder charge, Polina makes the hasty decision to pass off the dead body as part of the artwork itself. To her shock and amazement, the corpse becomes a huge hit among the gallery’s patrons, turning into an instant art-world sensation. Now, if only she can sell the damn thing before the cops catch wind of what really happened.
Portman is joined by Jenna Ortega as her assistant and reluctant accomplice, while Catherine Zeta-Jones plays her boss, who’s apparently willing to overlook a dead body if it means making a fortune.
Sterling K. Brown, Daniel Brühl, and Charli XCX are among the gallery patrons who might be willing to shell out big bucks for the piece, while Oscar-winner Da’Vine Joy Randolph rounds out the cast as the rising artist who’s horrified to discover that a dead body has somehow become part of her latest sculpture.
Cathy Yan, who previously helmed the Harley Quinn-led DC action film Birds of Prey, directs from a script she co-wrote with James Pedersen.
The Gallerist premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, where it earned mixed reviews. The film is now set to arrive in theaters nationwide on December 4th.
🎥 “Lords of War” Teaser: Nicolas Cage Returns as Notorious Arms Dealer Yuri Orlov, This Time Facing Off Against His Own Son (Bill Skarsgård) in Andrew Niccol’s Long-Awaited Sequel — In Theaters January 22nd
More than 20 years ago, Nicolas Cage starred in the critically acclaimed thriller Lord of War, playing a professional gunrunner whose appetite for money and power made him one of the most successful arms dealers in the world, even if it meant profiting from other people’s wars. The film wasn’t exactly a box-office smash, but it earned plenty of attention for its unflinching look at the dark money and outrageous war profiteering of the Bush era. It also made one thing painfully clear: America’s most profitable export might not be movies, music, or technology, but guns and heavy weaponry. All sold to the highest bidder, regardless of who’s buying them or how many lives are destroyed because of them. Hmm, still sounds awfully familiar.
Now Cage returns for the long-awaited sequel, Lords of War, a project that’s been in the works for years and is finally becoming a reality. And while the original wasn’t exactly a straightforward drama, mixing its dark subject matter with biting satire and a wicked sense of humor, the sequel looks to take that same approach even further. This time, a bitter father-son rivalry enters the already cutthroat arms business, with Cage reprising his role as notorious arms dealer Yuri Orlov (a character loosely inspired by real-life arms trafficker Viktor Bout). Meanwhile, Bill Skarsgård joins Cage as Anton Orlov, Yuri’s mercenary son, who’s looking to outdo his father by selling not just the weapons of war, but the soldiers willing to fight those wars.
Andrew Niccol is also back to write and direct the sequel. Best known for his 1997 sci-fi debut Gattaca and his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Truman Show (1998), Niccol later explored similar territory with the 2014 military drone drama Good Kill. But Lords of War marks his first time directing a sequel to one of his own films.
Also starring Laura Harrier and Sylvia Hoeks, Lords of War is slated to open in theaters on January 22, 2027.
🎥 “Drag” Trailer: Lizzy Caplan and Lucy DeVito Play Two Sisters Whose Botched Burglary Turns Into a Nightmare in a Twisted Horror Comedy, Also Starring John Stamos and Christine Ko — Opening In Theaters January 29th
Danny DeVito is a beloved actor. We all know that. But here’s something you might not know: back in the 1990s, his production company, Jersey Films, was behind some of the greatest indie films of the decade, including Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, Man on the Moon, Matilda, and plenty more. The company has been relatively quiet of late, but now DeVito is back at it, this time teaming up with his daughter, actress Lucy DeVito, to launch the newly revived Jersey Films 2nd Avenue. And Drag is one of the first films to come out of this new venture.
Lucy stars alongside Lizzy Caplan as two estranged sisters who decide to rob a secluded house in upstate New York. But what should’ve been a simple burglary goes horribly wrong when one of them throws out her back upstairs, leaving her practically immobilized.
Now, with the homeowner (John Stamos) potentially returning at any moment, the sisters have to figure out how to get out of the house before their little crime spree turns into a complete nightmare. Oops, maybe it’s too late, as they discover the homeowner has returned with a female guest (Christine Ko). And it seems he has some rather sinister plans of his own.
Drag marks the feature directorial debut of actor Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer, who also co-wrote the screenplay. The film premiered earlier this year at SXSW, earning mostly positive reviews and positioning itself as a possible sleeper hit. It’s now slated to arrive in theaters nationwide on January 29th, 2027.
🎥 “The Man with the Bag” Trailer: Arnold Schwarzenegger Plays Santa Claus and Recruits Alan Ritchson to Save Christmas in Amazon’s Holiday Action-Comedy with Awkwafina — Debuts On Prime Video December 2nd
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Santa Claus... wait, what? First off, why hasn’t anyone thought of this before? And secondly, does this mean we finally have another movie to pair with Jingle All the Way for an Arnold Schwarzenegger Christmas double feature? Okay, Christmas flicks have a certain amount of leeway baked in. Most people aren’t asking for much when it comes to their holiday entertainment. As long as there’s a little Christmas spirit, a few good laughs, and enough festive mayhem to keep everyone entertained for a couple of hours, that’s usually enough. And that seems to be the idea behind this new Amazon original, which casts Schwarzenegger as Santa Claus, Awkwafina as a rogue elf who makes off with the old man’s magical bag of goodies, and Reacher star Alan Ritchson as a thief on the Naughty List who gets recruited to save Christmas by stealing the bag back. So, if you’re looking for a Christmas movie with a little extra brawn, this might be the way to go.
🎥 “Bad Day” Trailer: Cameron Diaz Is Having the Worst Day of Her Life in Netflix’s New Mom-Centric Action Comedy With Ed O’Neill — Debuts December 11th on Netflix
Cameron Diaz is having one of those days. You know, where nothing seems to be going her way, and no matter how hard she tries to make things right, everything just keeps getting worse and worse... and worse. In this new Netflix comedy, Diaz continues her gradual return to acting, starring as Joy, a single working mother who’s determined to make it to her daughter’s big soccer game. The problem is, the game happens to fall on the worst day of her life, when a series of unfortunate mishaps leads to her being mistaken for a bank robber, with the cops now hot on her trail. And all she wanted to do was show up for her kid. Also starring Ed O’Neill, Danielle Brooks, Rhenzy Feliz, Ben Schwartz, and Rob Corddry, the film proves that the toughest job for any parent is trying to keep a simple promise to their kids, even if it means facing some serious jail time to do it.
🎥 “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” New Trailer: Brad Pitt Returns as Hollywood’s Notorious Stuntman-Turned-Fixer in a Quentin Tarantino-Penned Sequel Directed by David Fincher — Exclusively in IMAX November 25th, Streaming on Netflix December 23rd
Pitt. Tarantino. Fincher. Whoa. Those are some marquee names right there. Good thing Netflix is planning an exclusive IMAX release this month, because a movie bringing together this much Hollywood talent deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Brad Pitt returns as former Hollywood stuntman Cliff Booth in this Quentin Tarantino-penned sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, with David Fincher taking over directing duties. Set in 1977 Los Angeles, eight years after the events of the original film, Cliff has traded his stuntman days for a new gig as a Hollywood fixer, taking on odd jobs and doing the dirty work for people who’d rather keep their hands clean. It’s a new decade. The glitz and glamour of ’60s Hollywood have given way to the grittier, seedier side of ’70s Los Angeles, where the movie business is changing, the streets are getting meaner, and a guy like Cliff Booth is just trying to scrape by while his reputation only grows more notorious.
🎥 “Karōshi” Trailer: Corporate Loyalty Turns Deadly in This Near-Future Action Thriller From ‘John Wick’ Producer Chad Stahelski, Starring Teo Yoo, Isabel May, Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo — In Theaters February 5th, 2027
From producer Chad Stahelski, co-creator of the John Wick franchise, comes a new action thriller set in a near-future Manhattan, where corporate loyalty has become a way of life, and the ultimate way to show your devotion to the company is to put your life on the line. But as workers struggle under the demands of an increasingly overworked society, the ancient warrior traditions of the samurai become an unlikely symbol of rebellion. In other words, expect plenty of swords swinging, blood spilling, and corporate goons getting their just deserts. Written and directed by Takashi Doscher, this sci-fi-tinged action thriller stars Teo Yoo, Isabel May, Takehiro Hira, and Show Kasamatsu, alongside Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Camp, and Cynthia Erivo. Corporate life just got a little more cutthroat.

At 83, acclaimed British filmmaker Mike Leigh has built a long and prolific career writing and directing films that focus on human relationships, everyday struggles, and the complicated lives of ordinary people just trying to get by. Well, he’s back with another film... and you guessed it, it’s another slice-of-life drama. This time, Leigh brings together recent Emmy winner Kate O’Flynn (Widow’s Bay) and Alice Bailey Johnson as two longtime friends and social workers trying to navigate the daily frustrations of their demanding jobs, complicated family lives, and a social care system that seems to be stretched to its breaking point. And like most of Mike Leigh’s films, it gets to the heart of what makes us human, and how dry British humor somehow makes even life’s most miserable moments a little easier to bear.

Remember Funny or Die? Back when the internet was a place to waste an afternoon watching ridiculous comedy sketches instead of arguing with strangers? Well, one of those old sketches has now become a feature film. And, as you might expect, it’s completely bonkers. Set in a corporate world where long flowing hair is apparently mandatory, the comedy follows three middle managers, Kevin, Kyle, and Seth (played by Ben Wietmarschen, Patrick O’Brien, and George Kareman), who have built careers out of pointless meetings, corporate buzzwords, and looking busy without accomplishing much. But when a ruthless conglomerate takes over their company, bringing in Gen Z efficiency experts and a job-stealing AI robot (with long hair, no less), the trio faces something they’ve spent years avoiding: actual work. Featuring Rhys Darby, Edi Patterson, Judy Reyes, and Dean Norris, the film is directed by former Conan segment producer and writer Scott Gairdner. So you know this is going to be quirky AF.
🎥 “The Second Act” Trailer: Léa Seydoux, Louis Garrel, and Vincent Lindon Star in Quentin Dupieux’s Absurdist Comedy That Shatters the Fourth Wall — Arriving on Kino Film Collection November 24th
You know that old saying about life imitating art and art imitating life? The idea is that the two are so closely intertwined that sometimes it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Well, what happens when artists become so self-aware of their own art that they start questioning the very thing they’re creating, blurring the line between reality and artistic expression until even they can’t tell the difference? Confused? Well, welcome to the wonderfully bizarre world of French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux. A filmmaker who loves messing with how audiences perceive reality, taking the idea of “meta” to downright ridiculous levels, Dupieux is back at it again with another absurdist comedy that takes aim at the very art of filmmaking itself. Here, Léa Seydoux, Louis Garrel, and Vincent Lindon star as characters caught in a bizarre romantic mix-up that takes an unexpected turn when they begin questioning the very movie they’re supposed to be in. Is it a romantic comedy? A tragic drama? And who the hell is the main protagonist, anyway? Dupieux sets out not just to break the fourth wall, but to shatter it into a million pieces.
🎥 “Rob Lowe: The Outsider” Trailer: From Brat Pack Heartthrob to Hollywood Survivor, Rob Lowe Looks Back at Four Decades of Fame, Scandals, and Second Chances in Chris Smith’s Documentary — Premieres November 24th on Netflix
Sure, you might know Rob Lowe as that charming guy from The West Wing, or perhaps as the younger Number Two in the Austin Powers films. He’s been a beloved actor for decades, with a treasure trove of Hollywood stories to tell, having rubbed elbows with some of the biggest names in the business along the way. But back in his younger days, Lowe had a reputation as one of the bad boys of the Brat Pack. He was a Hollywood idol whose early fame sometimes got the better of him. And yes, there was that infamous sex tape scandal that nearly derailed his career. There’s much more to Rob Lowe than good looks and a charming smile, and he seems ready to reveal it all to documentarian Chris Smith (American Movie, Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond, Sr.), looking back at the highs, the lows, and everything in between over his four decades in Hollywood. So prepare for a trip down memory lane with someone who’s survived more than 40 years in the business, despite starting out as something of an outsider.
🎥 “The Ballad of Lieutenant Dan” Trailer: Gary Sinise Reflects on a Lifetime of Supporting Veterans, the Legacy of His Iconic “Forrest Gump” Character, and Personal Loss in This New Documentary — On VOD/Digital November 10th
Gary Sinise may be best known for playing a wounded Vietnam veteran in Forrest Gump, but he’s carried the spirit of Lieutenant Dan far beyond the big screen, embracing what the character has come to represent for military families across the country. And while Sinise would never want anyone to mistake him for a real-life veteran, he’s dedicated much of his life to supporting those who have served. Sure, he’s an actor, and a civilian but for many veterans and their families, he’ll always be... Lieutenant Dan. In this new documentary, Sinise reflects on his lifelong commitment to supporting veterans, while friends and colleagues, including Tim Allen, Jay Leno, and Joe Mantegna, share their thoughts on the man behind the character. The film also explores his personal struggles, including the heartbreaking loss of his son, Mac, who died in 2024 at age 33 after battling cancer. And while despite his many acting credits, Sinise may very well be remembered most for playing Lieutenant Dan. But we suspect he’s perfectly okay with that.

There are some actors who you automatically believe every word they say. It’s almost effortless. George Segal was one of those actors. Whether playing a charming leading man, a neurotic everyman, or a wisecracking father, there was something so natural about his performances that you almost forgot he was acting at all. And because he made it look so easy, it was sometimes easy to overlook just how talented he really was. In this new documentary, Segal, who sadly passed away in 2021, gets the tribute he deserves as he tells his own story, looking back on his remarkable Hollywood career. Through candid interviews filmed before his death, Segal shares memories of working with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, while friends and colleagues offer their own stories.

Directed by Bharat Nalluri and co-starring Toby Jones and Jonathan Pryce, this lighthearted charmer is a reminder that sometimes the best person for the job is the one who isn’t even old enough to have one.

Set during the 1917 Battle of Passchendaele and inspired by true events, this World War I drama follows nine British soldiers led by Captain Donald Richardson (Vin Hawke), whose tank gets stuck in a massive shell crater near enemy lines. With German forces closing in and the mud threatening to swallow them whole, the crew must fight to survive inside their own steel prison.
