🎥 Crime 101 — Trailer
(in theaters Feb 13th)
Crime doesn’t pay... unless you’re Chris Hemsworth! The Thor star trades his hammer for high-end heists in Crime 101, playing a slick jewel thief whose meticulous schemes along L.A.’s 101 freeway are about to take a dangerous detour.
Hemsworth leads a powerhouse cast as Mike Davis, a career criminal planning the ultimate heist that involves recruiting a frustrated insurance broker (Halle Berry), convinced to exchange her insider knowledge for a cut of the score. But when a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) closes in, the stage is set for a tense cat-and-mouse chase of stolen diamonds and double-crosses.
From acclaimed filmmaker Bart Layton (American Animals, The Imposter) and adapted from Don Winslow’s acclaimed crime novella, this stylish thriller also features Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tate Donovan, and Nick Nolte.

🎥 Ella McCay — New Trailer
(in theaters Dec 12th)
After a decade and a half away from the director’s chair, Oscar-winning filmmaker and Emmy-winning producer James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, Broadcast News, As Good as It Gets, The Simpsons, Taxi) returns with Ella McCay, a warm, old-school dramedy that reminds us why his brand of heart and humor never went out of style.
Emma Mackey (Sex Education, Barbie) stars as a newly elected governor juggling her messy family, public image, and personal ideals while trying to do right by everyone—something no politician has ever quite mastered. With Woody Harrelson as her estranged father, Jamie Lee Curtis as her meddling, yet kind-hearted aunt, and Albert Brooks as the outgoing governor who believes in her potential, the film promises warmth, wit, and that classic Brooks blend of chaos and compassion.
With Jack Lowden, Julie Kavner, Ayo Edebiri, Kumail Nanjiani, and Rebecca Hall rounding out the cast, Ella McCay is due to land in theaters December 12th — a nostalgic, feel-good reminder that sincerity never goes out of style.

📺 NEW TELEVISION TRAILERS:
In a world where everyone’s happy, she’s the problem.
📺 PLUR1BUS — Trailer
(on Apple TV+ Wed, Nov 7th)
Happiness is mandatory. Unfortunately, Carol didn’t get the memo. From Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul creator Vince Gilligan comes PLUR1BUS, a darkly surreal mystery series where everyone on Earth lives in blissful harmony—except one woman: Carol.
Better Call Saul breakout Rhea Seehorn stars as Carol, a weary writer whose inability to feel joy makes her a societal anomaly—and possibly the last sane person left in a world drowning in smiles. Set once again in Gilligan’s Albuquerque, this eerie, existential drama blends The Twilight Zone’s paranoia with Lost’s mind-bending intrigue, as Carol begins receiving strange messages from the White House demanding answers for her unhappiness.
With Seehorn delivering her most haunting performance yet, PLUR1BUS looks like another masterclass in slow-burn tension from Gilligan—one that asks if happiness is really heaven... or something far more sinister. The series premieres Friday, November 7th on Apple TV+.
Charm can be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Also starring David Duchovny and Carice van Houten as the unwitting couple caught in Ada’s web, this stylish Prime Video thriller peels back layers of privilege, obsession, and deceit until nothing—and no one—is what it seems.
Created by British writer James Wood (Rev., Ambassadors) and co-starring Christine Adams and Raza Jaffrey, Malice is slated to premiere Friday, November 14th on Prime Video.
