Believe in the Hail Mary. Based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Andy Weir - acclaimed for his award-winning hit, ‘The Martian’ - PROJECT HAIL MARY is a spectacular new sci-fi thriller starring Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling. From Oscar-winning filmmakers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, this gripping space thriller follows a lone astronaut (Gosling) who wakes up in deep space with no memory. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

Bold, poignant, and infused with unexpected humor, I Swear tells the extraordinary story of John Davidson, a young man whose life takes a sharp turn in the 1980s when he begins to experience the sudden onset of Tourette syndrome. At a time when the condition was largely unrecognised and misunderstood, John’s world expands in ways that few could imagine. His unfiltered voice, once seen as disruptive, becomes a rallying point for understanding and change, carving out a space where honesty, individuality, and courage shine through. Robert Aramayo embodies John with remarkable energy and depth, capturing the raw humanity of a figure who insists on being heard. Maxine Peake, Shirley Henderson, and Peter Mullan deliver performances that illuminate the warmth, wit, and resilience that surround him. Kirk Jones directs with a balance of compassion and sharp observation, weaving together moments of laughter and heartbreak into a resonant cinematic experience. I Swear is more than a portrait of one man’s journey, it is a powerful affirmation of identity and the transformative power of voice.

The tantalising drama also stars Oscar nominee Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, BAFTA winner Martin Clunes and Ewan Mitchell.

Featuring the voices of Jon Hamm, Bobby Moynihan and Piper Curda, this inventive and charming crowd-pleaser is already being hailed as one of Pixar’s best in years. A wildly entertaining ride that’s, quite simply, un-beaver-lievable.

From Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, comes GOAT, an original action-comedy set in an all-animal world. The story follows Will, a small goat with big dreams who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball – a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Will’s new teammates aren’t thrilled about having a little goat on their roster, but Will is determined to revolutionise the sport and prove once and for all that “smalls can ball!”

1580 England. Impoverished Latin tutor William Shakespeare meets free-spirited Agnes, and the pair, captivated by one another, strike up a torrid affair that leads to marriage and three children. Yet as Will pursues a budding theater career in far-away London, Agnes anchors the domestic sphere alone. When tragedy strikes, the couple’s once-unshakable bond is tested, but their shared experience sets the stage for the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet. From Academy Award® winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider) comes a sensitively observed, magnificently crafted tale about the complexities of love and the healing power of art and creativity. A luminous adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s internationally celebrated novel, Hamnet reframes the story of William Shakespeare through the eyes of his wife, Agnes, portrayed with breathtaking depth by Jessie Buckley, alongside Paul Mescal’s compelling Shakespeare.

From Oscar-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes the highly anticipated new drama LA GRAZIA (“Grace”), following it's successful run at last year's ST. ALi Italian Film Festival. The iconic Toni Servillo stars as Mariano De Santis, President of the Italian Republic (with no connection to any real-life presidents; he is entirely a product of Sorrentino’s imagination). A widower and a Catholic, De Santis has a daughter, Dorotea (Anna Ferzetti), who is a legal scholar like himself. As his term draws to a close, amid seemingly uneventful days, two final duties arise: deciding on two delicate petitions for a presidential pardon. These are true moral dilemmas which become tangled, in ways that seem impossible to unravel, with his private life. Driven by doubt, De Santis will have to decide… and so with a deep sense of responsibility, that is exactly what this remarkable Italian President will do. When announcing LA GRAZIA’s prestigious selection as the Venice Film Festival’s Opening Night Gala, artistic director Alberto Barbera remarked “Sorrentino’s return comes with a film destined to leave its mark for its great originality and powerful relevance to the present time.” Australian audiences will have the pleasure of discovering this for themselves, within days of its international debut.

Welcome to the Virgil. You won’t be leaving. From director Kirill Sokolov comes THEY WILL KILL YOU, a blood-soaked horror-comedy that blends savage action with a wickedly playful edge. When Asia Reaves (Zazie Beetz), an ex-convict searching for a fresh start, takes a housekeeping job in a mysterious New York City high-rise, she quickly realises something is deeply wrong. The building has a long history of disappearances, and its residents are far from ordinary. As night falls, the Virgil reveals its true nature. Trapped inside a deadly maze ruled by ritual and paranoia, Asia must fight to survive as danger closes in from every direction and trust becomes impossible. Featuring a bold ensemble including Myha’la, Tom Felton (Kevin), Heather Graham (Sharon) and Patricia Arquette (Lilith), THEY WILL KILL YOU is a visceral, stylised and darkly comic genre-bending thrill ride where survival is never guaranteed, driven by tension, unpredictability and pure cinematic chaos.

Fan favourite "final girl" Samara Weaving is back in her blood-drenched bridal gown for the highly anticipated, wickedly entertaining, horror-comedy, READY OR NIGHT 2: HERE I COME, following her blazing turn in 2019's cult horror-comedy, Ready or Not. Original directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett also return to the helm with a killer ensemble cast including Kathryn Newton, Shawn Hatosy, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood and certified scream queen Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all. Let the games begin… again.

Some search for battle, others are born into it.  Academy Award-nominated, BAFTA-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood) and Academy Award and BAFTA winner Leonardo DiCaprio join forces for one of the most anticipated cinema events of the year with the darkly comedic action thriller, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. Loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel 'Vineland', Anderson has concocted an explosive combination of cutting black comedy, whip-smart political satire and edge-of-your-seat action blockbuster. When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunites to rescue one of their own's daughter. Anderson's bold visual style and evocative character explorations are perfectly matched by powerhouse performances from DiCaprio and the fully-loaded all-star ensemble cast, including Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, and Oscar and BAFTA winners Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.” From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed) comes a new vision of fear in the highly anticipated supernatural thriller, SINNERS. Following their acclaimed collaborations on “Creed” and “Black Panther”, the blood-pumping period horror reunites Coogler with star Michael B. Jordan, who is receiving early praise for his audacious dual role.

From acclaimed director Joachim Trier (The Worst Person in the World) and featuring an outstanding all-star cast, SENTIMENTAL VALUE is an intimate and moving exploration of family, memories, and the reconciliatory power of art. Nora Borg (Renate Reinsve, The Worst Person in the World) is an established Oslo stage actress while her younger sister Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) has chosen family life with her young son. Though markedly different, the two are close, having been raised by a single mother after their filmmaker father’s departure years earlier. When the once renowned Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård, Dune, Chernobyl, Melancholia) attempts to cast Nora in his comeback film, old wounds reopen. Nora rejects his offer, prompting the isolated patriarch to cast American star Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning, The Great) instead. Suddenly, the two sisters must navigate their complicated relationship with their father and as Gustav and Nora attempt rapprochement, the already shaky foundation of the family unit is under threat of toppling.

This history-making film from Academy Award®-winning director Mel Gibson, tells a profound story of courage and sacrifice in the 12 hours leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth in Jerusalem.

Bumpin' that. #BratSummer is so back in the highly anticipated new A24 film THE MOMENT, directed by Aidan Zamiri from an original idea by Charli XCX - fresh off the massive cultural impact of her acclaimed 3x Grammy winning album, ‘Brat’. THE MOMENT follows a heightened, satirical version of Charli XCX as a rising pop sensation on the brink of her first arena tour, caught between the raw ethos of the underground scene that shaped her and the glossy machinery of mainstream success. As cameras trail rehearsals, press appearances, and behind-the-scenes negotiations, the film captures the disorienting blur of fame; where authenticity becomes a commodity and every creative choice is filtered through industry expectations. Framed as a mockumentary, the story blends scripted scenes with documentary-style intimacy, allowing humour and unease to coexist. Figures from Charli’s orbit - played by A-list cast including Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, Jamie Demetriou, Kylie Jenner and Alexander Skarsgård - embody managers, collaborators, and cultural commentators who alternately support, exploit, and misunderstand her. Their interactions reveal the subtle ways underground culture is repackaged for mass consumption, even as it loses the chaos and community that once defined it. Premiering at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, the film stands as both a sharp critique of pop stardom and a reflective portrait of transformation - of an artist, a culture, and the fragile space between rebellion and brand.

Led by the formidable Oscar-nominated duo of Lesley Manville (Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, Phantom Thread) and Ciarán Hinds (Belfast, First Man), MIDWINTER BREAK is a touching British drama powered by phenomenal performances. Adapted from Bernard MacLaverty's award-winning novel of the same name, MIDWINTER BREAK is a compelling story about lost faith, commitment, and the enduring power of love from Olivier Award-winning director Polly Findlay. In this evocative adaptation set in picturesque Amsterdam, Manville and Hinds star as a longtime couple who take a life-changing trip. What starts as much-needed holiday for the pair becomes an introspective study of how years of intimacy blend experience and consciousness, while also revealing the profound extent to which we remain unknowable to one another.

From visionary director Baz Luhrmann, EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT is a cinematic celebration of Elvis Presley at the height of his powers.

Featuring long-lost footage from Presley’s legendary 1970s Las Vegas residency, the film captures the electricity, charisma, and raw talent that cemented his status as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll. These performances are woven together with rare 16mm material from Elvis on Tour and intimate 8mm treasures from the Graceland archive, offering audiences an unprecedented, immersive view of Elvis onstage and behind the scenes.

Step into a delightfully absurd world of class, cricket, and cunning in FACKHAM HALL — a gleefully irreverent spoof on the grandeur of period drama.

With a stellar ensemble cast including Katherine Waterston, Tom Felton, Emma Laird and Damian Lewis, FACKHAM HALL delights in skewering the rules of aristocratic decorum while still tugging at the heart.

FACKHAM HALL will leave audiences chuckling behind their gloved hands and eager for another scandal at the manor. Pearl clutching optional.
