Fun isn’t exactly what comes to mind at the idea of the political leaders of the UK & US having to work together. Unless, of course, John Cena is the American president and Idris Elba is the prime minister of the United Kingdom, as in director Ilya Naishuller’s action/thriller, Heads of State.

The reason for the partnership is a common foreign adversary for whom they find themselves a target.

‘Not in the movies now, son.’

I anticipate this will be ‘silly fun’ like G20 (2025), but hopefully with more giggles. Amazon may be in a season of ‘presidential movies’, and I’m not mad about it.

Is this silliness something you can see yourself gravitating towards at some point? The answer for me is a definite yes.

Priyanka Chopra, Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Carla Gugino, Stephen Root, Amber Rose Revah, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle, Steven Cree and Clare Foster also star.

Heads of State Release Dates: July 2nd, 2025 (US & UK), Prime Video…

Idris Elba, Piper Perabo, JJ Feild and Frankie Hervey are the stars of new Netflix comedy series Turn Up Charlie.

Elba plays struggling DJ and eternal bachelor, Charlie. Charlie is given one last chance at success when he reluctantly becomes a manny to his famous best friend’s ‘problem-child’ daughter.

I’m interested because of how different this looks compared to the kind of TV shows I’ve come to expect from Elba. I can’t deny that the sunny summer days shown in this trailer are an additional incentive.

Cameron King, Zak Holland, Daniel Brown, Ivana Basic, Janine Catterall, Nikkita Chadha and Sarah Sharman also star.

Turn Up Charlie Release Dates: March 15th, 2019 (US)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw (2019).

In Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw, a spinoff of The Fate Of The Furious, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s characters, Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw form an unlikely alliance.

Directed by David Leitch, Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw also stars Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby and Joe Anoa’i.

I just really want to find out how well this spinoff and the chemistry between Johnson and Statham will work out. So far, based on this trailer, it’s looking like fun.

Fast & Furious Presents – Hobbs & Shaw Release Dates: August 2nd, 2019 (US & UK)…

Aaron Sorkin, a Hollywood name most film lovers know purely for his great screenwriting abilities has directed an exciting looking drama.

Starring Idris Elba, Jessica Chastain, Michael Cera, and Kevin Costner, Molly’s Game is a true story about an Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game and became an FBI target.

I’m excited for reasons including the fact that I really enjoy Aaron Sorkin’s writing. As such, I’m hoping that his directing will be great too.

The pairing of Elba and Chastain is one I didn’t know I wanted to see until I just saw it. Fingers crossed that this film turns out really well.

Chris O’Dowd, Rachel Skarsten and Bill Camp also star.

Molly’s Game Release Dates: November 22nd, 2017 (US), December 29th, 2017 (UK)…

THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US (2017): New Trailer From Idris Elba, Kate Winslet, Dermot Mulroney, Beau Bridges…

The Mountain Between Us is a new Hany Abu-Assad-directed drama/adventure about two strangers stranded after a tragic plane crash.

Starring Kate Winslet, Idris Elba, Beau Bridges and Dermot Mulroney, the strangers are faced with the extreme conditions of a remote snow-covered mountain, and must find a way to survive knowing that help isn’t coming.

As a big fan of ‘acting queen’ Kate Winslet and the wonderful talents of Idris Elba, I can’t wait to see this; especially considering how very promising it looks in this trailer.

I confess that my heart is pretty much aching already – not because I know how the movie ends, I have no idea – but because of all the very big and important plans both characters had at their intended destinations. It’s just a shame that they only had access to that rickety-looking mode of transportation.

Beau Bridges, Lucia Walters, Waleed Zuaiter, Marci T. House and  Lee Majdoub also star.

The Mountain Between Us Release Dates: October 20th, 2017 (US & UK); October 19th, 2017 (GER & AUS)…
