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

14 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)…

BY ANY MEANS (2026): New Trailer Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Mark Wahlberg, Nicole Beharie, Josh Lucas…

7 Comments

Directed by Elegance Bratton, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Nicole Beharie Josh Lucas and Mark Wahlberg are the stars of By Any Means, the story of a notorious mafia hitman named Greg Scarpa (Wahlberg) and a young Black FBI agent.

Based on a true story, the two men team up to investigate the murders of civil rights leaders in 1966 in Mississippi.

This one’s a must-watch for me. Especially because it has a bit of that Blackkklansman (2018) energy, which was great. Plus, Beharie is always impressive, and I give almost every Wahlberg movie a chance.

LisaGay Hamilton, LaChanze, Ethan Embry, David Strathairn, Giancarlo Esposito, Jalyn Degraffenreid, Biko Eisen-Martin, Alanna Masterson, Todd Warren, and Lee Perkins also star.

By Any Means Release Dates: September 4th, 2026 (US)…

HOW TO ROB A BANK (2026): New Trailer Starring Nicholas Hoult, Pete Davidson, Zoë Kravitz, John C. Reilly…

9 Comments

A new modern heist movie is upon us, one in which bank robbers post their activities on social media.

Directed by David Leitch, How to Rob a Bank stars Nicholas Hoult, John C. Reilly, Zoë Kravitz and Pete Davidson.

I like this for Hoult and Davidson. I especially love to see Hoult convincingly play an American. Plus, I’ll always be a fan of John C. Reilly because of his great work in Magnolia (1999).

The technical details of how the robbers came to feel safe enough to post their exploits online are especially interesting. Fingers crossed that this one is a heist movie with a more satisfying ending than Crime 101 (2026).

Is this appealing to you too?

Tati Gabrielle, Christian Slater, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Gloria Laino, Andy S. Allen, Johnna Leary, Tyler O’Malley, Curtis Caldwell and Alexis Prewitt also star.

PRIMETIME (2026): New Trailer From Robert Pattinson Anna Faris, Phoebe Bridgers…

4 Comments

New action/crime/drama/thriller, Primetime has Robert Pattinson starring as Chris Hansen, a journalist who investigates a criminal underworld, leading to a notable shift in television.

Directed by Lance Oppenheim, additional key cast includes Anna Faris, Phoebe Bridgers and Jonathan Lipnicki.

I’d like to say that I know exactly what this is about and where it’s going, but I don’t, so I can’t.

However, I am interested because it’s Pattinson. Additionally, Pattinson’s seemingly creepy character brings to mind Jake Gylenhaal’s super creepy turn as Louis Bloom in the great Nightcrawler (2014).

What are you thinking about this one?

Bokeem Woodbine, Sean Bridgers, Matthew Maher, Jessica Blackmore, Stanley White Jr., Sue-Lynn Ansari, Lacey Dover, Caroline Hebert and Brittany Seals also star.

Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett are the stars of new crime/drama/thriller Verity.

Directed by Michael Showalter, Johnson is Lowen Ashleigh, a ghostwriter hired to write novels for a husband’s incapacitated wife. While on the job, Lowen discovers disturbing truths.

Hello, pleasant surprise!

Firstly, I’m relieved this isn’t a horror film. Second, Hathaway has been a busy lady. So far, this is the fourth film she’s in this year, after Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and The Odyssey. And third, doesn’t this look like promising fun?

Daniel Echevarria, Brady Wagner, Asel Swango, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Michael Abbott Jr, Emily McEnroe, Tom Galantich, Thursday Farrar, K.K. Moggie and Stephen Elrod also star.

Verity Release Dates: October 2nd, 2026 (US & UK)…
