EBENEZER (2026): New Trailer From Johnny Depp, Sam Claflin, Ian McKellen, Daisy Ridley…

Leave a comment

The time has come for director Ti West’s telling of the Ebenezer Scroodge story, the tale of a man on a supernatural journey to face his past, present and future, in order to learn an important lesson.

Johnny Depp, Daisy Ridley, Sam Claflin and Ian McKellen star

It’s good to see Monsieur Depp back to his usual. This looks like the Christmas themed fun I could watch while enjoying the humour costumes and rich look and feel of the early Victorian era.

All I remember about the Ebenezer Scroodge character is that he does not like Christmas. An Idea very intriguing for someone who loves cheerfulness and leaning into the joys of the festive season.

Andrea Riseborough, Ellie Bamber, Rupert Grint, Charlie Murphy, Henry Lloyd-Hughes and Tramell Tillman also star.

Ebenezer Release Dates: November 13th, 2026 (US & UK)…

KYLIE (2026): The Things I Liked…

4 Comments

‘She was like this sort of beam of light. With this incredible positivity. Just this sort of bold brightness.’ 

That’s musician Nick Cave describing Australian singer/actress Kylie Minogue. A description that doesn’t surprise me in the slightest, since in my mind, Minogue has always come across as one of the most charming, likeable and unproblematic pop stars around.

Director Michael Harte’s documentary Kylie explores her life, career, personal losses, illness, and how she navigated public scrutiny through interviews and Minogue’s personal archives.

As someone who’s always liked the little I knew of Minogue, it was satisfying to learn more about her story and how she pulled through all the challenging phases of her life. The most satisfying part for me was seeing her finally find her voice. 

If you’re a fan of Miss Minogue, whether it’s her music, acting, or simply the person she appears to be, watch Kylie and spend some time with one of pop music’s true princesses.

THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (2027): New Trailer From Michael B. Jordan, Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh…

5 Comments

Starring, produced and directed by Micahel B. Jordan, The Thomas Crown Affair is an action/crime/thriller about a successful playboy and art thief who may have finally met his match.

Adria Arjona, Kenneth Branagh and Danai Gurira are among the key cast.

Beautiful Trailer. I love how this fresh take is looking.

I don’t believe I’ve seen the versions of The Thomas Crown Affair story made in 1968 and 1999. But I am intrigued by the cinematography and what Jordan’t film does as an actor relatively new to directing.

I may make time to watch the previous versions. Do you recall seeing any of them?

Adwoa Aboah, Pilou Asbæk, Danai Gurira, Lily Gladstone, Aiysha Hart, Charlotte Jackson Coleman, Alex Lanipekun, Janis Ahern and Charlotte Carter-Allen also star.

The Thomas Crown Affair Release Dates: March 5th, 2027 (US & UK)…

BEHEMOTH (2026) New Trailer From Tony Gilroy, Starring Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Will Arnett…

4 Comments

From writer/director Tony Gilroy of Michael Clayton (2007) and Nightcrawler (2014) comes Behemoth, a love letter to the music of film and those who make it.

The story centres on Pedro Pascal’s character as he returns home to Los Angeles. He also happens to be a musician who comes from a family of musicians.

Additional key cast includes Will Arnett, Olivia Wilde and Matthew Lillard.

Cool trailer edit.

I’m glad to see Pascal, even if this doesn’t fall in the easy-viewing category. That said, I’m sure Behemoth will be good, and not as dark and uncomfortably atmospheric like the brilliant and disturbing Nighcrawler.

Are you drawn to Behemoth too? As a film obsessive, I feel as though I can’t help but be curious.

Side note, my fingers keep wanting to type ‘Behemouth’ instead of Behemoth for some reason.

Hank Azaria, Eva Victor, Margarita Levieva, Adam Rose and JoBeth Williams also star.

Behemoth Release Dates: December 4th 2026 (US)…

OTHER MOMMY (2026): New Trailer From Jessica Chastain, Jay Duplass, Arabella Olivia Clark…

7 Comments

New Rob Savage-directed horror film Other Mommy stars Jessica Chastain, Jay Duplass and Arabella Olivia Clark.

Clark plays Bela, an eight-year-old who confronts the sinister entity, a.k.a. ‘Other Mommy,’ that comes out of her closet.

Could we possibly have an AI shenanigans movie to really get excited about here?

Chastain’s involvement certainly has me hopeful. And for some strange reason, my usual ‘horror, too scary’ alarm bells aren’t ringing for this one. Could it be that I misguidedly don’t find AI scary movies terrifying?

I wonder how AI mommy ended up in Bela’s home in the first place. That, I’m really curious about.

Alejandro Nieves, Karen Allen, Carrie Dimaculangan, Sean Kaufman, Dichen Lachman, Arian Moayed, Travis Nelson, Rosie Anne O’Gorman, Adam Silver, Hayley Spelman and Eleanor Jordan O’Farrell also star.

Other Mommy Release Dates: October 9th, 2026 (US & UK)…
