Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp are reportedly set to team up again with director Robert Eggers for his next movie, according to Nexus Point News. The new film is called Werwulf and will be a dark werewolf horror story set in 13th-century England. It will reportedly feature Old English dialogue to match the period setting. Focus Features will release the movie.

Sources say Aaron Taylor-Johnson will play the werewolf himself, while Lily-Rose Depp is expected to play his wife. The story is said to include witchcraft elements and will apparently be one of Eggers’ bloodiest films so far.

Filming is planned to start this September. Eggers has written the script with Sjón, who worked with him on The Northman. Both Eggers and Sjón will be producing the film as well.

Werwulf was first revealed in January 2025, not long after Eggers released his vampire movie Nosferatu. That film also starred Taylor-Johnson and Depp,...

Until Dawn Nears $50M Box Office Milestone ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Until Dawn is racing against the clock to cross the $50 million mark globally with only a few days left before Final Destination: Bloodlines crashes into theaters. Despite lukewarm reviews, it has held its own, pulling in $18 million from domestic screens and adding another $26 million overseas. That puts the total at a respectable $44 million (Via Box Office Mojo), which is not bad for a horror flick on a $15 million budget.

Until Dawn Has Surpassed A Robert Egger’s Masterpiece

Until Dawn has done better than a few recent genre outings, even though it hasn’t caught fire like horror movies used to, it even edged past Robert Eggers’ breakout film The Witch, which remains a critical darling.

However, the horror landscape has been shifting, and audiences have shown more interest in high-concept and artsier scares lately. Films like The Monkey are making waves this year,...

Guy Danella has been named the new president of film at XYZ Films, tasked with heading up theatrical production and acquisition at the genre specialist.

Danella’s production credits include the Ke Huy Quan actioner Love Hurts and Tommy Wirkola’s Violent Night, starring David Harbour, both Universal Pictures releases. He will kick off his XYZ slate with The Trip, an adaptation of Wirkola’s 2021 Norwegian thriller Onde Dager, which XYZ financed.

The film follows a dysfunctional couple who head to a remote cabin, ostensibly to try and rescue their marriage. But both have secret plans to kill the other. Before they can do anything, unexpected visitors arrive, putting them both in greater danger. Jorma Taccone is directing the remake, which stars Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Juliette Lewis and Timothy Olyphant, . The film is currently in post-production.

Sunday Am Writethru: Refresh for updates… It’s the 15th weekend of the box office year, and only the fourth to exceed $100M+ for all titles. The industry needs to cherish this.

True, Warner Bros/Legendary’s A Minecraft Movie is delivering 52% of the $153M frame, still an $80.6M second weekend, but we can’t imagine that any exhibitor is complaining about the diversity or the amount of product in the marketplace. With an $80M second weekend, that’s the 16th best second weekend ever for a movie, and the second best second weekend for a videogame movie after Super Mario Bros’ ($92.3M). Some rivals believe the domestic endgame for Minecraft Movie is close to a half billion; Super Mario Bros got to $574.9M. Global running cume is $550.6M.

A funny note about cinemas getting trashed: None of the three top circuits would issue statements that such chaos was going on.

Releasing a horror movie in the middle of the holiday season might have been a risky move, but it’s one that ultimately paid off. Nosferatu made its debut on the 2nd of December in Berlin and came out internationally on Christmas Day. With a huge 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has surpassed all expectations and has since become Robert Egger’s highest-grossing film in North America.

When Robert Egger's Nosferatu hit theaters, it did more than bring a classic horror monster back into the mainstream. It also brought back a love of gothic horror that hadn't been seen since the '90s, as well as a love for all things classic and vampire. Aside from that, Universal's Epic Universe has done something similar with its Universal Monsters-centric Dark Universe. With all that in mind, it's clear that the world is in a state where gothic and vampiric horror have reached a new high and there are even more chances to capitalize on the idea.

It's no secret that the original 1922 Nosferatu was an unauthorized remake of Dracula that was nearly lost to time after every copy was almost destroyed.

Nicholas Hoult has signed on to star in the untitled bank heist thriller that David Leitch is directing for Amazon MGM Studios and Imagine Entertainment.

Leitch will also produce with wife and producing partner Kelly McCormick via their 87North banner, alongside Imagine’s Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody and Allan Mandelbaum.

Amazon, Imagine and 87North are keeping plot details locked in a vault, but the script is written by Mark Bianculli, who was a writer and consulting producer on Amazon’s Nazi hunting show Hunters.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the story centers on a group of savvy bank robbers who use social media to document their heists, playing a cat-and-mouse game with police. Bianculli and Imagine have spent the better part of a decade developing the project, according to sources. It is unclear who Hoult would play.

A summer shoot is being planned, and Amazon is planning to release the feature in theaters.

Given how blatantly transparent it has become in recent months that the rich dictate, often without thought or mercy, the fate of the poor, Locked would seem to be in a perfect position to rile up the 99% and grab some free op-ed space. Unfortunately, it's not quite ambitious enough nor insightful enough for that. The film, about a petty thug who breaks into a luxury SUV only to find it’s been booby-trapped by an unseen and obscenely wealthy tormentor, is a B-movie more interested in torturing its main character than inspiring the hoi polloi to march in the streets. But with a few decent tricks up its tailpipe, the latest from Brightburn director David Yarovesky sputters to a tattered and bloody checkered flag.

That main character is played by a terrific Bill Skarsgård, and he’s the only person on screen for most of the film. His character, a hard-up thief named Eddie,...

Over the weekend, a first-look photo for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of epic poem The Odyssey revealed Matt Damon in Odysseus mode, complete with a helmet and cloak that’s right in line with our expectations for sword-and-sandal productions. Because it was released on the Internet, though, it was immediately criticized by both amateur and professional historians for a lack of historical accuracy.

The chief point of contention revolves around the helmet, because in The Iliad (the prequel to The Odyssey) original author Homer describes the “cleverly made” leather helmet Odysseus is given for a raid as follows: “On the inside there was a strong lining on interwoven straps, onto which a felt cap had been sewn in. The outside was cleverly adorned all around with rows of white tusks from a shiny-toothed boar, the tusks running in alternate directions in each row.”

It’s a model known as...

Robert Eggers has scored the biggest commercial hit of his career with his new take on Nosferatu. The acclaimed movie arrived in American cinemas on Christmas day, and here shortly thereafter. It’s taken $95m at the American box office, just over $80m elsewhere on the planet, and should continue making healthy returns on home formats.

As you’d hope with a movie such as Nosferatu, it’s getting a full physical media release too. The UK discs are landing on 7th April 2025, and we’re getting a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, a Blu-ray and a DVD option.

Horror, historically, has been a genre that allows female characters to shine and take the spotlight. Final girls are one of the most used and well-recognized tropes of the genre, and in many slasher films, women are the last ones standing thanks to their most common sense and survival instinct. One of the latest female leads who took the horror genre by storm was Ellen Hutter in Robert Egger’s latest film Nosferatu.

Ellen and her connection to the vampire was the central focus of the film, putting a unique spin on a centuries-old story. That wasn’t the first time Eggers wrote and directed a well-crafted female lead, however. His debut film The Witch back in 2015 gave audiences Thomasin, a girl who started the film powerless and ended up becoming the very thing her family feared. Robert Eggers and actresses Anya Taylor Joy and Lily-Rose Depp created two of...

Some pairings are a match made in heaven (or hell) and this one feels like one that should've happened long ago. Anthony Hopkins, the Academy Award-winning actor who still gives us chills as Hannibal Lecter, and Bill Skarsgård, an actor who is no stranger to weird and offbeat characters, are joining forces in a film produced by horror maestro Sam Raimi, and it has the potential to be a real treat for genre fans.

The trailer for a new film called Locked just dropped (via EW), and it looks like one hell of a ride courtesy of director David Yarvovesky (Brightburn). The film follows a thief named Eddie (Skarsgård) who is down on his luck when he decides to break into an SUV that is parked in an empty lot. The tables are turned on Eddie when the SUV's owner, William (Hopkins), traps Eddie inside and reveals himself to be...

The surprise success of Nosferatu means the timing couldn't be better for Hammer Horror to stage a glorious resurrection. Gothic horror movies like the classic Universal Monsters or the output of Britain's Hammer Films used to dominate the genre, once upon a time. Hammer franchises like the Christopher Lee Dracula movies or their Frankenstein series leaned into their Gothic origins, but the arrival of more modern, psychological chillers like Rosemary's Baby left the genre very dated in later years.

Modern horror tends to be defined by the likes of A24, but the occasional Gothic horror effort like Crimson Peak or even The Fall of the House of Usher occasionally breaks through. That's what makes the success of Robert Egger's Nosferatu remake so exciting. On the surface, the movie's retro feel and Gothic tone would have been considered offputting to modern viewers; instead, Nosferatu has grossed over $100 million worldwide (via...

Edgar Wright's The Running Man remake has found its Richard Dawson replacement. Colman Domingo has signed on to star as the host of the titular game show.

According to Deadline, Wright and execs on The Running Man were "aiming high" with who they wanted to see cast as the game show host, given that Dawson's portrayal in the 1987 film adaptation was so well-received, with Domingo ultimately landing the part. Domingo, who is currently receiving some award attention for his leading performance in A24's Sing Sing, joins a cast that includes Glen Powell, Karl Glusman, Katy O’Brian, and Daniel Ezra, among others.

This article contains spoilers for Nosferatu, now playing in theaters.

Robert Egger's 2024 horror film, Nosferatu, was nothing short of a Christmas miracle. As is typical of the director, Nosferatu is visceral and captivating, reminiscent of his feature film debut, The Witch. With such great attention to detail to the era and a wildly talented cast bringing its characters to life, even the most jaded viewer cannot deny how effective the film is.

Bringing horror back to the vampire genre, Nosferatu isn't just a win for Eggers. Vampires have been a popular subject matter as long as cinema has been around, but recent years have given the monsters a glamorous makeover. Egger's take on Count Orlok may have the juice to revitalize the blood and mayhem these creatures were originally known for. No one knows this more than Stephen King, whose follow-up to Carrie was Salem's Lot, a terrifying...

Robert Pattinson's schedule has been rather busy in recent years, and it won't be slowing down anytime soon as he has joined the cast of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and is set to appear in another highly-anticipated movie. While both projects are exciting, Pattinson's role in The Odyssey became much more interesting after an upsetting update concerning his other film. Unfortunately, not much is known about the actor's involvement in Nolan's next story. But by taking all the factors into account, it will be difficult for The Odyssey to disappoint, especially concerning Pattinson's part in it.

Per Universal Pictures (via X), Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is "a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology. The film brings Homer's foundational saga to IMAX film screens for the first time and opens in theaters everywhere on July 17, 2026."

Pattinson made his breakthrough in Hollywood...

Warning: The following contains spoilers for 2024's Nosferatu.Director Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is based on the original film of the same name from 1922, an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Starring Bill Skarsgård as Count Orlok and Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, Nosferatu is proving to be an intriguing addition to the vampire genre. However, as a result of its complicated origins, all iterations of Count Orlok are inherently based on Count Dracula.

There are still some key differences between Orlok and Dracula, as well as Nosferatu and Stoker's famous novel. For instance, in the novel, Dracula is killed by being stabbed in the heart and decapitated by Jonathan Harker and Quincy Morris, something Francis Ford Coppola deviated from in his film adaptation of Stoker's Dracula. The original Nosferatu strays away from this even further by depicting sunlight playing a key role in Count Orlok's eventual demise.

Babygirl has received a divisive Rotten Tomatoes audience score, setting a shocking record for Nicole Kidman. The erotic thriller, directed and written by Halina Reijn (Bodies Bodies Bodies), delves into the life of Romy, a powerful tech CEO in New York who embarks on a dangerous and impassioned affair with her younger intern, Samuel (Harris Dickinson). The Babygirl cast also features Antonio Banderas and Sophie Wilde, who join Kidman in a story exploring Romy's sexual repression and journey to self-acceptance.

Babygirl has a 55% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, making it part of an unexpected trend of audience misfires for Kidman this year. Despite Kidman's compelling performance, which helped the erotic film achieve a 77% Rotten Tomatoes score among critics, the audience response to her recent films, including Netflix's Spellbound and the rom-com A Family Affair, reveals a surprising disconnect for an actor known for her command of acclaimed and award-winning roles.

Many were quick to write off Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King when it lost badly to Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 3 last weekend, but the landscape changed on Wednesday as families became more available after holiday duties.

Mufasa topped the Christmas day chart with $15 million, followed by filmmaker Robert Egger’s new star-studded vampire pic Nosferatu with a promising $11.6 million and Sonic 3 with $10.7 million.

A horror-fantasy, Nosferatu is looking to come in third with as much as $40 million for the five days behind Mufasa and Sonic, well ahead of expectations (anything above $20 million would be a victory). Modeling is difficult this early in the game, and projections for all films could shift. Eggers’ movie stars Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult and Bill Skarsgård.

Mufasa is anticipating a five-day gross north of $50 million, while Sonic 3 is likewise targeting $50 million (at this stage, most rivals have Mufasa in the lead). Through Wednesday,...

Lily-Rose Depp, star of Robert Egger's adaptation of Nosferatu, talks about how her experiences on The Idol prepared her for the horror film.

Lily-Rose Depp was given homework before playing Ellen Hutter in Nosferatu, a horror film following Depp's character as she is haunted by the disturbing vampiric monster Count Orlok (played by Bill Skårsgard), who attempts to steal her away and take her as his bride. Depp was asked by director Robert Eggers to read the short story “Péhor” by French author Remy de Gourmont in preparation for her role, she told IndieWire. “Rob is incredibly well-researched, famously, and so he sent me a lot of references, a lot of movies that had inspired him for the role. He also gave me this text to read, which is called ‘Péhor’ [by Remy de Gourmont], and it’s kind of like a story about a young religious girl who has a sexual awakening love story with a demon,...

While looking back at past projects, Chris Columbus, the director behind holiday classics Home Alone and Gremlins, shared a not-so-merry holiday recollection involving comedian Chevy Chase.

Speaking to Vanity Fair for a recent interview, Columbus said John Hughes had sent him the script for 1989’s Christmas Vacation, starring Chase. Columbus said he signed onto the film before meeting the actor, and didn’t actually meet Chase until he began second unit shooting.

“I probably have never told this story,” the director told the publication, before detailing his first of two encounters with Chase.

Only minor scene spoilers will be included in this review for Robert Egger's 2024 film, Nosferatu. Proceed with caution.

If writer-director Robert Eggers' track record tells us anything, it's that his latest film, Nosferatu, will, at the very least, offer something interesting. In this day and age, "interesting" is more than enough to stand out, but in this particularly dry and dreary year for horror movies, it's a boon to audiences that we can finally watch something horrible that is also substantial in its creative choices. Nosferatu transports audiences to a world where anything can happen, but Eggers' game is that he cares far more about tone and mood than delivering momentarily exciting but ultimately forgettable gimmicks that have marred vampire stories for the past 100 years. The result is an ambitious remake that should be seen big and loud, and one that is sure to leave an impression on audiences.

Director Robert Eggers has four feature films under his belt so far: The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, and 2024's Nosferatu. While he has not been in the public eye as long as some other established directors, like Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott, or Steven Spielberg, audiences are already getting a clear picture of the sorts of films that attract Eggers.

All four of Robert Eggers' feature films are period pieces. They also all have a folklore-like quality to them, or they feel as if they could be a legend passed down from generation to generation. This is especially true for The Northman and the unanimously praised Nosferatu, as both of these films are based on literary classics -- Hamlet and Dracula, respectively. However, neither are direct adaptations for a few reasons.

One of the most influential horror movies, 1922's Nosferatu, has an upcoming remake from Robert Eggers, director of The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman. It is one of the most anticipated horror films of the year; however, the original movie did not receive the same sort of warm reception.

The original Nosferatu almost never existed due to a copyright issue. The film was an illegal adaptation of Dracula, which was not public domain at the time in Germany. However, the film was still made, despite the Bram Stoker Estate's objections. This then led to the estate filing a suit against the film and the almost permanent destruction of the classic horror movie.

Vampires are the most used mythical creatures in horror films, and one is the most defining figure for the genre: Dracula, which features several descriptions and interpretations. Bram Stoker's Dracula is signaled out as one of the greatest movies in the genre, and, ahead of Robert Egger's take on Nosferatu, the film will be available to stream for free soon.

Bram Stoker's Dracula will be one of the titles that will be available on Tubi starting Dec. 1. The goth horror comes from The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola and is one of the many adaptations following the popular vampire. The free streaming service will add the vampire film alongside Adam Sandler's iconic comedy Happy Gilmore, Martin Scorsese's Leonardo DiCaprio film The Departed, as well as Sicario 1 and 2, and Kick-Ass, among others.

Horror fans, we have some pretty good news! It appears the upcoming reboot of the Universal Pictures lycanthropy IP, simply titled Wolf Man, is going for the jugular of standard horror.

Director Leigh Whannell confidently agrees with this as he takes a break from editing and speaks about his future release.

Produced by Jason Blum through his studio, Blumhouse Productions, Wolf Man has been in production since the early 2020s, when Universal noticed the potential of bringing back their catalog of Universal Classic Monsters, albeit with a refreshing take. Director Leigh Whannell had been attached to the project, but then, when Ryan Gosling entered the picture and brought along a pitch to be directed by Derek Cianfrance, there was a change of plans.

A24's upcoming horror film The Front Room looks to end the critically acclaimed studio record. Directed by Max and Sam Eggers, the brothers of acclaimed filmmaker Sam Eggers, The Front Room stars Brandy as Belinda, a pregnant woman who discovers that her stepmother-in-law Solange (Kathryn Hunter) is working her way to manipulate her stepson and take the baby from the young family for her own sinister means. A24 has earned a reputation for redefining the horror genre in the 21st century with films like Talk to Me, Heriditerary, and even Robert Egger's The Witch, so there was a certain level of expectation for The Front Room to deliver another critically acclaimed horror film.

That does not seem to be the case as Max and Sam Eggers's debut feature film will not match their older brother Robert Eggers. The initial Rotten Tomatoes score for The Front Room was revealed at 46%, with thirteen reviews.

Nosferatu is a German expressionist horror film released in 1922, directed by F.W. Murnau. Despite attempts to differentiate Nosferatu from Dracula, the film faced legal challenges from Stoker's estate. There are two official Nosferatu movies, with a third directed by Robert Eggers, set to release in 2024.

The first trailer for Robert Eggers's Nosferatu is finally out, reminding fans of the controversy surrounding the original movie. Nearly a full century after its release, the 1922 silent version of Nosferatu remains one of the most iconic films of the German Expressionism era and one of the most influential in the horror genre. The movie's vampiric villain, Count Orlok, has been referenced even in modern cartoons like SpongeBob SquarePants, and popularized the standard look of the secular, reclusive vampire.

Without Nosferatu, the horror landscape of the last century would have looked completely different. However, the movie technically shouldn't exist. The similarities between Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's Dracula,...

We learned last week that the project would be a genre movie – and it’s now being described as a period vampire film, which Coogler and Jordan are looking to shoot this summer. Naturally, the project has garnered lots of interest, but it sounds like Netflix isn’t being invited to the party as Coogler is insistent that the film gets a ‘full worldwide theatrical release’.

Warner Bros, Sony and Universal are said to be the...

Exclusive: Fat City, the nascent production company set up by Licorice Pizza producer Sara Murphy and War Pony producer Ryan Zacarias, has a new director of development.

The company, which has a first-look deal with Anonymous Content, has hired Sofia Paz in the role.

She recently worked with artists at the Inhotim Institute of Contemporary Art but before that she was in the development department of Rt Features, on films such as Robert Egger’s The Lighthouse, Antoneta Kusijanovic’s Murina, Olivier Assayas’ Wasp Network and Karim Ainouz’s The Invisible life of Eurydice Gusmao. She began as an EP on Mike Cahill’s I Origins.

“We feel very lucky to have Sofia join us as the Director of Development at Fat City,” said Murphy and Zacarias in a joint statement. “Her taste is exceptional and her enthusiasm for story and bringing films to life is infectious.”

In an interview with comedian Jordan Firstman, Robert Pattinson admitted a "deep, deep fear of humiliation" that plays a part in his feelings regarding acting roles and Hollywood in general.

While conversing with Firstman, Pattinson said, "I’m constantly thinking that you’re just going to spend the vast majority of your life unemployed and desperate and kind of feeling like you’re a total failure." He went on to say, "That’s the most stressful thing in the world." Pattinson began acting because his father thought it would help with his shyness. After a stint of theater roles, Pattinson got roles in film and television, most notably, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. He played Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory, a Hogwarts participant in the TriWizard Cup.

There's lots of great stuff hitting streaming this week, but the debut of the Netflix film "Seven Kings Must Die" and the return of HBO Max's fourth season of "Titans" are two guaranteed to deliver high-intensity action. Fans looking to pair brutal historical epics with their watch of "Seven Kings Must Die" need to look no further than Robert Egger's Shakespearean Viking epic "The Northman" on Prime Video or Neil Marshall's Romans-vs-Picts action-adventure film "The Centurion," available on more than half a dozen streaming services. For those looking for something less bloody and closer tied to "Titans," there's always the Superman origin story series "Smallville," streaming on Hulu, or if you want to get really vintage, there's the young adult shapeshifting series "Animorphs," streaming on Prime Video. There's no shortage of action and adventure available on streaming this week, so let's get to it.

"This is the best sushi you will ever have." Join director M. Night Shyamalan as he browses through this Paris video store in the latest offering of the "Vidéo Club" series made by Konbini. We've posted videos of Brad Pitt and Terry Gilliam in this classic video store, now it's Shyamalan's turn. At first he talks extensively about his love for Akira Kurosawa films and stories with a moral dilemma, then he raves about Bergman's Persona and Bresson, specifically the 1956 film A Man Escaped. He also goes on to talk about Lynch's Twin Peaks and Hitchcock's Rebecca (one of his favorites in his collection at home) and Julia Ducournau's Raw - saying how this one blew him away and he ended up hiring her to shoot some eps of his TV show "Servant" because of it. He also mentions that he'd like to work with Robert Pattinson one day,...

In Enys Men – the much-anticipated new film written and directed by Cornish filmmaker Mark Jenkin, whose last feature, Bait (2019), earned him a Bafta for Outstanding Debut – a woman in walking boots, jeans, and a translucent red anorak trudges across gorsy moorland towards a cliff face. She clambers down, perches on a rocky outcrop, and stares intently at a few white flowers as they sway in the wind, high above clamorous waves below.

Every day she studies these flowers. Then, every day she drops a rock into an abandoned tin mine’s inky depths, and stands listening for a distant thud. She returns to an isolated, ivy-covered cottage. A standing stone sticks out of the landscape like an ancient dagger-head. The woman pulls the cord of a power generator, makes a pot of tea, listens to the scratchy, indistinct noises of a radio communication device, and, in a logbook, records the...

In Jamie Wanstall’s stylistic short Still Waters Run Deep what starts out as a romantic camping getaway in the woods quickly descends into a psychological tale of madness and folk horror. It tracks Darren and Sorcha, a pair of long-term lovers, on a trip, hoping to spend some time away in nature. But, unfortunately for them, their isolated woodland location has other ideas. Wanstall’s precise visual direction gives the film a distinctive flair akin to Robert Egger’s menacing feature The Witch. His camera moves and pans slowly, allowing the tension to bubble away before being released in all manner of strange and surreal occurrences. Dn spoke with Wanstall as the Still Waters Run Deep arrives online to discuss his genre influences, the film’s clever and concise cinematography, and the catharsis of channelling his own fears and anxieties into his filmmaking.

Where did the idea of a...

Rt Features and CG Cinema to produce thriller.

Olivier Assayas will write and direct Wasp Network, a thriller based on Fernando Morais’ book, The Last Soldiers Of The Cold War.

Rt Features’ Rodrigo Teixeira will produce alongside CG Cinema’s Charles Gillibert, while Rt’s Lourenço Sant’Anna and Sophie Mas will serve as executive producers.

Brazilian producer-financier Rt Features backed Sundance hits Call Me By Your Name, which Luca Guadagnino directed and Spc will release, and Geremy Jasper’s Patti Cake$, which Fox Searchlight picked up in Park City.

It feels strange to herald Hailee Steinfeld as a fresh cinematic supernova, considering her Oscar nominated turn as True Grit’s Mattie Ross was as far back as 2010. Since then she has carved out a wonderful niche as a supporting actress, often stealing the films from under the nose of the likes of Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect 2), whilst also sustaining what the kids tell me is a pretty good pop career.

Last year she stepped up to leading lady status with The Edge of Seventeen. It’s the kind of film that should have found a bigger audience, threatening a re-think of most people’s top ten of the year lists. One of those coming-of-age parables that truly reflects what it was/is like to be young, and as the sardonic Nadine, Steinfeld runs the full gamut of emotions; comedic to sympathetic, and always utterly watchable.

Wholly unique and totally unnerving, The Witch is one of the best horror movies of 2016 (maybe eve one of the year's best films), and a great showcase for what fledgling director Robert Egger’s career has in store for us. But what if another director tackled this tale of isolation and religious faith, say a certain Arch Duke of Whimsy? Yes, it’s another Wes Anderson parody video, but the guys over at Cinefix have really hit it out of the park with this one, employing many of Anderson’s well known traits, from lively music to pastel hues, to transform The Witch into a pretty convincing comedy about a dysfunctional family trying to start a new life for themselves. Check it out for yourself below.
