Starring and executive produced by Colin Farrell, Sugar seems a contemporary, unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary, motion picture, and television history.
It’s a private detective story that follows John Sugar, played by Farrell, an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel.
Olivia is the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia, he will also unearth the Siegel family secrets, some very recent and others long-buried.
From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation: Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, and #1 New York Times bestseller The Wild Robot.
The epic adventure parallels Hayao Miyazaki’s storytelling without the Japanese filmmaker’s artistic, non-AI quality.
Chris Sanders wrote and directed the film, which follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short. The robot crashes on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings. Gradually, he builds relationships with the animals on the island and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
The Wild Robot stars Lupita Nyong’o as robot Roz, Pedro Pascal as fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara as opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy as goose Longneck; Kit Connor as gosling Brightbill and Stephanie Hsu as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island.
The film also features the voice talents of Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames.
It’s a powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things.
On the heels of the premiere of its broadly celebrated, global hit series Masters of the Air, Apple TV+ streams The Bloody Hundredth.

An untraditional romantic comedy that moves at an infectious beat, Músicastars Rudy Mancuso, who based the film on his own experiences and serves as the film’s director, co-writer, composer and choreographer.
Rudy Mancuso, a charismatic but directionless young street performer from Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, has a unique view of the world. Thanks to a rare condition called synesthesia, he experiences everyday noises—from car horns to water droplets to doors slamming—as a series of complex rhythms. He struggles to keep the music in his head at bay, but it’s not so easily accomplished.
When he’s not taking classes to finish his college degree or staging puppet performances for commuters on the streets of Ironbound’s close-knit Brazilian community, Rudy is trying to convince his girlfriend, Haley, played by Francesca Reale, that he will eventually figure things out. He lives with his mother, Maria, played by the actor’s real-life mother, Maria Mancuso, who wants her son to dump Haley and settle down with a lovely Brazilian girl from the neighborhood. Rudy also gets advice on life and love from his best friend, Anwar, played by J. B. Smoove, a food truck operator whose cultural identity morphs depending on where he parks his truck that day.
Matters take a turn for the chaotic when a flying piece of frozen fish knocks out Rudy. The accident leads to an encounter with Isabella, played by Camila Mendes, a beautiful young Brazilian woman who works in the local fish market and may understand Rudy in ways nobody has ever done. In a love triangle, Rudy tries to balance his cultural heritage, the women in his life, and the música inside his head.

When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers, played by Georgina Campbell, Olwe Fouere and Alistair Brammer. Mysterious creatures watch and stalk them each night.
The second trailer shows more of the storyline, which is refreshing.
Moritz Mohr directs Boy Kills World, which stars Bill Skarsgård as a “boy” who vows revenge for his family’s murder. Famke Janssen plays Hilda Van Der Koy, the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deaf, and voiceless.
Driven by his inner voice, which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, boy trains with a mysterious shaman, played by Yayan Ruhian. He wants to become an instrument of death and set himself loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents.
Bedlam ensues as boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting the wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.
Other cast members are Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Sharlto Copley, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, and Andrew Koji.

Eli Roth has written and directed many films. Some of his movies include:
As directed by Jason Bergh, The Greatest Love Story Never Told is a tribute to Jennifer Lopez’s latest movie, This is Me… Now: A Love Story.
We follow her attempts at her most daring project, independently producing a new album and cinematic original that explores her twenty-year journey to self-love.
The male dancer is Gilbert Saidvar. But there’s no film credit for him?
Intimate and empowering, the documentary offers unflinching access to Jennifer’s most personal moments as she works hard to reclaim her narrative by creating This Is Me… Now.
From interviews with her inner circle, including producing partners and longtime collaborators, to candid home moments, this is a vulnerable portrait of an icon. She put it all on the line and discovered a newfound determination in self-acceptance and love.
This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces.
A modern-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster Twister, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell. They are opposing forces who come together to predict and tame the immense power of tornadoes.
Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. Her friend, Javi, played by Anthony Ramos, lures her back to the open plains to test a groundbreaking new tracking system.
She crosses paths with Tyler Owens, played by Powell, the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew—the more dangerous, the better.
As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before come unleashed. Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
