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)…

WHALEFALL (2026): New Trailer Starring Austin Abrams, Josh Brolin, Elisabeth Shue, Emily Rudd…

6 Comments

Co-written/directed by Brian Duffield, Whalefall is the story of a scuba diver left with just one hour of oxygen after the worst happens during an important dive.

Austin Abrams, Elisabeth Shue, Emily Rudd and Josh Brolin are among the key cast.

Yeah! More Austin Abrams. No. This is not good for my claustrophobia and fear of the deep ocean.

What a clever trailer. As terrified as I was while it played, I couldn’t look away. Still, that’s ‘light work’ when it comes to a two-and-a-half-minute trailer. But for a whole movie? I may surprise myself upon release, but let’s just say that I’m happy for those who love this sort of thing.

I’m now wondering how clearly we’ll be able to see all the action, considering the darkness at the deep depths. Perhaps that’s part of the horror. This may not be categorised as a horror movie, but ‘horror’ still feels super accurate.

Is Whalefall your kind of thing?

Jane Levy, John Ortiz, Mark Meloro Jr., Grayson Paul Solomine, Sam Skolnik, Sam Franich, Nicholas Gould and Laurel Lane Bowen also star.

Whalefall Release Dates: October 16th, 2026 (US & UK)…

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.

VICTORIAN PSYCHO (2026): New Trailer Starring Maika Monroe, Jason Isaacs, Thomasin McKenzie, Ruth Wilson…

8 Comments

New comedy/horror/thriller Victorian Psycho has Maika Monroe as an eccentric young governess named Winifred Notty.

Directed by Zachary Wigon and set in 1858, Winifred arrives at the remote gothic manor, Ensor House. Only, as she assimilates, staff begin to inexplicably disappear.

Jason Isaacs, Thomasin McKenzie and Ruth Wilson make up the additional key cast.

To reference Tropic Thunder (2008) I’m curious to find out if Monroe went ‘full psycho’ or just enough to make this good/watchable.

Also, if I didn’t know better, I’d have guessed that the mouth in the image above belonged to Keira Knightley and the filmmakers had somehow superimposed it onto Monroe’s face.

Evie Templeton, Jacobi Jupe, Amy De Bhrún, Paul Reid, Katherine Moran, David Brady, Alan Devally, Kate Brady, Dagmar Döring and Katherine Moran also star.

Victorian Psycho Release Dates: September 25th, 2026 (US)…
