Len Wiseman directs the cast of Ballerina, a John Wick spin-off.

The film stars Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, and Gabriel Byrne, with a strong supporting cast of Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves.

Based on Characters by Derek Kolstad and written by Shay Hatten, the story takes place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The film follows Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro at the beginning of her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

What is the Ruska Roma?

The Ruska Roma is the largest known Russian Gypsies, a subgroup of the Romani people in Russia and Belarus, an Eastern European neighbor to Russia.

It’s also a fictional group in Wick’s movies, a powerful criminal organization in Germany. According to John Wick Fandom, it is one of the twelve organizations that holds a seat at the High Table.

Ballerina‘s release date is June 2025, with more information arriving soon.

“Knives Out” Posters, Images, Clips & Trailers

Purchase the Blu-ray or DVD

Written and directed by Rian Johnson, Knives Out is a parody of the mastermind Agatha Christie. The movie looks like a modern-day murder mystery and everyone is a suspect. The story begins at the 85th birthday party of renowned crime novelist Harlan Thrombey, played by Christopher Plummer.  

The movie is now streaming, or you can purchase the Blu-ray or DVD, and watch it whenever and wherever you want.

After his party, he is found dead at his estate, and the inquisitive and debonair Detective Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, is enlisted to investigate his murder. But, it is unclear how he arrived at being the investigator, and that is a mystery in itself. 

From Harlan’s dysfunctional family to his devoted staff, Blanc sifts through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies to uncover the truth behind Harlan’s untimely death. By watching the trailer, you can see Craig’s character heavily contrasts with his 007 in the James Bond movies. 

From left to right. Richard (Don Johnson), Linda (Jamie Lee Curtis), Ransom (Chris Evans) Great Nana (K Callan), Marta (Ana de Armas), Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) Walt (Michael Shannon), Jacob (Jaeden Lieberher), Donna (Riki Lindholm), Joni (Toni Collette) and Meg (Katherine Langford).

The stellar cast includes Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Toni Collette, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, LaKeith Stanfield, Katherine Langford, and Jaeden Martell.

The movie appears to be a witty and stylish whodunit. Johnson hopes to keep audiences guessing until the very end.

Johnson is best known for directing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. His other writing and directing credits include Brick and Looper.

The second trailer offers a better idea of what the movie is about and how it flows for the audience. It flows much better because it seems to be intense and funny.

The movie looks hilarious with overwhelming craziness. Daniel Craig plays a character so unlike his James Bond.

I am not sure what is happening in this next clip. We have two cops and an inspector.

The next clip shows how snappy the movie flows.

Daniel Craig and Jamie Lee Curtis are in a scene together. It is phenomenal.

Watch the informer, great story.

“The Informer” Trailer and Poster – Revolutionary and Monumental

Take a look at this poster, so cool.

Based on a book by Börge Hellström and directed by Andrea Di Stefano, The Informer follows an honorably discharged Special Ops soldier, played by Joel Kinnaman. Pete Koslow’s world turns upside-down when he is jailed after a fight to protect his wife, played by Ana de Armas.

He’s given a chance for early release by becoming an informant for the FBI agents, played by Rosamund Pike and Clive Owen. He uses his covert skills in an operation to take down The General. I believe, played by Sam Spruell. He is the most powerful crime boss in New York.

An FBI sting meant to finally earn Koslow his freedom results in the death of an undercover NYPD cop. Koslow was caught in the crossfire between the mob and the FBI.

The General insists Koslow takes the heat and sends him back to prison to spearhead a drug operation from inside, and the FBI affirms that going back to jail to do The General’s bidding is the only way for Koslow to keep his deal with them alive.

Caught in a world of impossible choices, Koslow must return to prison, where he formulates a plan to escape the clutches of three of New York City’s most influential organizations –the mob, the NYPD and the FBI –to save himself and his family.

Di Stefano is best known as an actor. He also directed Escobar: Paradise Lost  and Last Night of Amore.
