As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we are thrilled to exclusively debut a first look at The Woman in Cabin 10, the upcoming Netflix thriller starring Keira Knightley and directed by Simon Stone, premiering Fall 2025. Based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel, the film drops audiences into a world of quiet dread aboard a seemingly serene luxury yacht — where nothing, and no one, can be trusted.

Knightley stars as travel journalist Lo Blacklock, who boards an exclusive yacht for a writing assignment and quickly finds herself in a waking nightmare. Late one night, she sees what she believes is a woman thrown overboard. But when she raises the alarm, she’s told no one is missing — all passengers and crew are accounted for. Dismissed, disbelieved, and isolated in open waters, Lo continues searching for the truth, even as her own safety begins to slip away. Speaking to Collider,...

The upcoming film is directed by Simon Stone and is based on Ruth Ware’s bestselling 2016 novel of the same name. The film is about a journalist who watches someone get thrown overboard a luxury yacht. However, she is told that nothing happened and that all the crew and passengers are accounted for.

Even though no one believes her, she puts her life in danger to uncover the truth. Having Knightley and Waddingham in it will surely infuse the suspense-filled narrative with powerful female leads who can give the characters the gravitas and range they require.

Keira Knightley and Guy Pearce's murder mystery will seemingly hit choppy waters as a trip on a luxury superyacht turns sinister when one passenger witnesses someone getting thrown overboard late at night, only to be told that it didn't happen, as all passengers and crew are accounted for.

The bystander of the deadly deed is Laura "Lo" Blacklock (Knightley), who just so happens to be a journalist on a travel assignment aboard the luxury ship. The young woman uses her journalistic skills to gather information and look for answers, putting her own life in danger. She is surrounded by potential suspects and the...

Despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger.

“I’ve said in acknowledgements before that it takes a village to make a book, but what I learned going on set for Cabin 10 is that it takes a whole town to make a film – it’s truly amazing seeing so many people working so hard on something you created,” said Ruth Ware.

“It’s also a big leap of faith,...

Keira Knightley is a certified movie star, whose films grossed over $3.6 billion at the worldwide box office. However, the actress has stayed away from big blockbusters and focused on several roles where she can balance her personal life and professional life.

Because of this, she has found a new partnership with Netflix that helps her achieve both things. Following a successful run with Black Doves, the two teamed up again for a new project. Netflix has just unveiled the first look at The Woman in Cabin 10 during its Next on Netflix event.

Time travel is why audiences haven't already seen Edge of Tomorrow 2. Doug Liman, the director of the original 2014 movie, recently explained how hard it is to develop a good sci-fi movie featuring time travel.

While speaking with Collider to promote his Apple TV+ movie The Instigators, Liman explained that he is still working hard on figuring out the story for Edge of Tomorrow 2. "I mean, Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise have never been more on top of their game than they are right now. I'd be crazy not to be trying to, you know, figure out how to make a sequel. So I am spending time trying to crack it," the director shared. "On the flip side, time travel's really tough. Like really, really tough. All you have to do is develop a movie with time travel to come to the conclusion that humans will never travel through...

Director Doug Liman and Tom Cruise continue to discuss Edge of Tomorrow 2 potential. The sequel is not dead, and they love the world of the first movie. Emily Blunt confirms a promising script, but schedules and costs hinder progress.

Director Doug Liman has added further fuel to the fire that burns for Edge of Tomorrow 2, revealing that he and star Tom Cruise keep talking about the prospect of a sequel to the 2014 science fiction favorite. In a new interview with Empire, Liman confirmed that the long-awaited Edge of Tomorrow 2 isnt dead yet, and has no concerns about the potential follow-up arriving decades after the first outing.

No, we keep talking about it. We love that world. I don't know how long Cameron took with his Terminators, but at the time it felt like a long time.

Released back in 2014, Edge of Tomorrow is based on the 2004 Japanese...

After 10 years of waiting, “Edge of Tomorrow 2” may finally be closer to a greenlight.

Director Doug Liman confirmed to Empire magazine that Tom Cruise is still determined to get an “Edge of Tomorrow” sequel made. The film starred Cruise as an army general who, paired with Emily Blunt’s captain, battles an alien invasion. The duo continuously travel 24 hours back in time until they can defeat the extraterrestrials. The Liman-directed 2014 feature was written by Christopher McQuarrie, who went on to direct Cruise in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise.

An “Edge of Tomorrow” sequel was formally announced in 2016 with Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse cowriting. The project resurfaced in 2019 with “The Invention of Lying” co-writer Matthew Robinson handling the script, titled “Live Die Repeat and Repeat,” and Liman directing; however, it, too, was never made.

Liman assured fans that despite the stops and starts, “Edge of Tomorrow 2” will hopefully still happen.

Doug Liman assures that Warner Bros. is "constantly" asking him when Edge of Tomorrow 2 will get off the ground. The sequel has faced a bumpy development road thus far, including writer changes, financial concerns after the lukewarm box office reception to the first movie and Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt's busy schedules. With Cruise recently signing a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery deal to develop movies and franchises, though, Edge of Tomorrow 2 may be closer than ever to happening.

Following years of languishing in development hell, Doug Liman offers an encouraging update on Edge of Tomorrow 2. Liman previously teamed with Tom Cruise for the 2014 adaptation of the Japanese novel All You Need Is Kill, in which Cruise starred as a military public affairs officer who becomes stuck in a time loop in a future in which aliens have invaded Earth and are slowly winning the war against humanity,...

Simon Stone, who previously directed The Dig for Netflix, will be directing the film from a screenplay by Snake Eyes writers Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse (with Stone handling script revisions himself).

Knightley will be playing a travel journalist assigned to cover the launch of a luxury yacht.

Doggedly she searches for answers, putting her own life in danger as the boat barrels through the desolate North Sea.

A description of Ware...

Bust out the Dramamine and brace for Ptsd. Keira Knightley is on board to lead a film adaption of Ruth Ware’s bestselling novel “The Woman in Cabin 10” at Netflix.

In what marks one of Dan Lin’s first green lights as the new film chief at the streamer, “The Woman in Cabin 10” follows a travel journalist (Knightley) assigned to cover the launch of a luxury yacht. When she witnesses a passenger tossed overboard in the dead of night, no one believes her story as all on the ship have been accounted for.

The recent news that Tom Cruise and Warner Bros. are back in business together has many fans hoping that Edge of Tomorrow 2 will be one of the projects to come out of the strategic partnership.

Following the announcement of Cruise's new Warner Bros. deal, fans took to the social platform X (formerly Twitter), to demand that the studio immediately greenlight a sequel to its 2014 sci-fi/action film, Edge of Tomorrow, which featured Cruise and Emily Blunt in the lead roles. While Edge of Tomorrow, based on the Japanese light novel All You Need Is Kill, didn't exactly conquer the box office when it was first released, the movie has achieved somewhat of a cult status with its fan base continuing to grow with each passing year.

Universal will develop an adaption of the New York Times best-seller Lore as a feature.

Amy Pascal (Spider-Man movies) is attached to produce the project, which has Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse set to pen the screenplay.

Alexandra Bracken’s Lore, described as Hunger Games meets Greek mythology, follows Lore Perseous whose family was murdered as a part of the Agon, a divine hunt that occurs every seven years as punishment for a past rebellion by nine Greek gods, who are forced to walk the earth as mortals and be hunted. After years in hiding, Lore has to decide if she re-enters the Agon to avenge her family’s death with the help of a childhood friend she thought was dead and Athena, one of the last of the original gods.

Tom Cruise isn't just one of the reigning kings of the box office. In recent years, the actor has also proven himself king of the box office revival, pumping fresh blood into his own decades-old franchises with sequels that have garnered praise and raked in returns across the globe. In 2018, the sixth "Mission: Impossible" film became the series' most lucrative, bringing in nearly 800 million worldwide (per Box Office Mojo). In 2022, Cruise one-upped himself with "Top Gun: Maverick," a sequel to a thirty-four-year-old action film that earned an astounding 1.48 billion at the global box office.

The 60-year-old action star has clearly got the juice, and the only question now is where he'll apply his cinema-saving stardom next. He's already set to return to the role of Ethan Hunt again in this year's "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1," a spectacle-filled follow-up that's set to include car chases, a fight atop a speeding train,...

This article contains Glass Onion spoilers.

Agatha Christie once famously said, “Every murderer is probably somebody’s old friend.” Perhaps that’s why in Rian Johnson’s latest whodunit, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the filmmaker has littered the screen with pals. If Benoit Blanc—who is winsomely as ever played by Daniel Craig—is a pursuer of the truth, and the vigilant hound dog chasing hidden murderers wherever they may dwell, surely he is then conscious of the company he keeps? There might even be some murderers in his midst… or at least fellow detectives.

Indeed, Johnson and Craig use their second Benoit Blanc picture to invite a lot of real-life friends to come out and play, and many of whom’s appearances have hidden ulterior motives that only the most eagle-eyed sleuths might notice. Let us explain…

In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of the G.I. Joe franchise. With two successful movies under its belt, fans are clamoring to see more of their favorite characters on the big screen. But with so many different films and spin-offs, keeping track of the G.I. Joe universe can be challenging.

We’ve created this blog post: to give you a definitive guide to watching the G.I. Joe movies. We’ll take you through all the films, from the original classics to the latest blockbusters, and help you understand the complex timeline of the G.I. Joe Universe.

The G.I. Joe movies are the perfect mix of action, adventure, and heroism--all rolled into one. The G.I. Joe team has the best action heroes, from Bruce Willis to Dwayne johnson. Based on Hasbro’s G.I. joe characters, comic, and media franchises,...

A John Krasinski-produced movie about a fugitive billionaire has found its director in Peter Landesman.

Sources tell Variety that the “Concussion” writer-helmer is on board to direct the long-gestating movie, which is based on Daniel Ammann’s biography “The King of Oil: The Secret Lives of Marc Rich.” The film tells the story of the international commodities trader and founder of Glencore, who was indicted in the U.S. on 65 criminal counts that included tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering and striking deals for oil with Iran during the Iran hostage crisis.

Rich had already fled the U.S. for Switzerland and never returned, but famously received a pardon in 2001 from then President Bill Clinton on his last day in office.

Although the argument could be made that such a thing as a “G.I. Joe Cinematic Universe” has no need to exist, the endeavor to create one could have resulted in something far worse than the martial arts laden Snake Eyes. Instead, the latest “G.I. Joe Origins” film, plays like an early-seventies James Bond knock-off that desperately wants to be something more tangible and important than it ultimately is.

When, as a child, he bears witness to the murder of his father, Snake Eyes (Henry Golding) swears vengeance on the man responsible, Yakuza arms dealer Kenta (Takehiro Hira). To do so, Snake aligns himself with Tommy (Andrew Koji) and his clan—the Arashikage—to be trained in the ways of the ninja. However, when the secrets of his past are discovered and his plans are revealed, Snake Eyes must prove his allegiance and assert his honor to retain the...

“Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins” is probably about as good a movie as you’re going to get that has the words “G.I. Joe” in the title. Maybe that’s because it seems to have very little to do with anyone’s conventional idea of G.I. Joe. It’s not a square-jawed, mildly jingoistic heavy-weapons combat orgy, like “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” (2009) or “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” (2013), the previous two installments in the Hasbro-inspired action franchise. It is, rather, a darkly atmospheric, sleekly scissor-limbed ninja combat orgy — a tale of vengeance and nobility and scheming set in Tokyo, where the title character (Henry Golding), a moody drifter who saw his father killed by shadowy forces, joins the Arashikage clan, a 600-year-old ninja dynasty, but only because he’s on an undercover mission of sabotage.

The movie is also a synthetic but exuberantly skillful big-studio hodgepodge of ninja films,...

Here’s something that the box office hasn’t seen in a while: a head-to-head battle between two new films for the No. 1 spot. What’s more, Paramount’s “Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins” and Universal’s “Old” will both be released only in theaters, coming off a weekend where theater owners struck back at Disney’s hybrid release of “Black Widow.”

But don’t expect either film to give a boost to overall numbers. Paramount is projecting an opening for “Snake Eyes” of $14-16 million, while “Old” is projected by Universal for a $12-15 million opening. Meanwhile, “Space Jam: A New Legacy” and “Black Widow” are expected to earn holdover totals in that same mid-teens range.

That could make it difficult to determine who tops the charts but will likely mean that overall totals will take another drop from last weekend’s $91.9 million. How much of a drop will...

In lead up to the movie's release later this week, Paramount Pictures have gifted fans with one final look at upcoming G.I. Joe Origins outing, Snake Eyes. Featuring some new footage mixed in with several shots we have seen before, the newly released trailer gives us a further glimpse at the action to come in this first installment of a planned ongoing franchise.

Based on the fan-favorite G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins will re-introduce audiences to the famous assassin. The character though will appear slightly differently to what fans are used to, openly showing his face and speaking in contrary to how Snake Eyes is usually depicted.

Paramount Pictures has released two new looks at the forthcoming Snake Eyes film, which opens July 23 and already has co-creator Larry Hama’s seal of approval.

Official Synopsis

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, a tenacious loner who is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir apparent. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior while also providing something he’s been longing for: a home. But, when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance will be tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him. Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins also stars Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Úrsula Corberó as Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko, Tahehiro Hira...

Ahead of its premiere in theaters nationwide on July 23, we are happy to unveil an exclusive poster for the anticipated movie's IMAX release. Per the press release, the IMAX release of Snake Eyes will be "digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX Dmr technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie."

Various Snake Eyes trailers and sneak peeks have been released in recent months. The new poster for the IMAX release puts the G.I. Joe hero's mask front and center, though the movie will give fans a peek behind the mask into the character's journey of how he got there. It's especially exciting for many longtime fans of the franchise, as Snake Eyes has long been the most mysterious G.

The new official theatrical release poster for the upcoming film, Snake Eyes, pays off to the entire cast. The new project is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Robert Schwentke, from a screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse. Snake Eyes is based on Hasbro's G.I. Joe toy, comic book character, and media franchise. The film is a reboot, and the third installment in the G.I. Joe film series, and will serves as an origin story for the deadly assassin. See the newly released poster below!

This time the poster itself features the lead actor, Henry Golding, appearing twice as the title character. In the upper background, Golding can be seen wearing the famous helmet, while his second appearance in the poster has him without the helmet. Upon its release of the initial trailer and first official poster for the film, many G.I. Joe...

The newest trailer for Paramount Pictures' upcoming G.I. Joe Origins movie, Snake Eyes, teases even more of the action-packed spectacle to come as audiences are introduced to the beginnings of the fan-favorite character. Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding will slip on the iconic helmet as the title character, a lone fighter with a mysterious past and a penchant for sword-fighting.

Starring the likes of Andrew Koji, Úrsula Corberó, Samara Weaving, Haruka Abe, Takehiro Hira, and The Raid's Iko Uwais alongside Golding, Snake Eyes promises the kind of awe-inspiring fight sequences and explosive set pieces that G.I. Joe enthusiasts have come to expect, with the movie sure to be a hit with action movie fans.

While many of these roles were already revealed in the recent trailer, these motion posters, based on the Snake Eyes character posters we showed you yesterday, give us a better look at each of their respective looks for the movie, as well as offering some idea as to their motivations courtesy of snappy captions alongside the promos. "A warrior in the making," reads Goldings's poster, while Storm Shadows calls him "A loyal friend.

Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Skydance have released the first trailer, poster and images from its forthcoming Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, an action spin-off from the G.I. Joe franchise.

The film, set to bow July 23, stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, a tenacious loner who is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir apparent. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior, while also providing something he’s been longing for: a home.

But when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance will be tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him. Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins also stars Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Úrsula Corberó as The Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko,...

Paramount Pictures has released a new one-sheet for their G.I. Joe spinoff, Snake Eyes, featuring arguably the most popular character from the 1980s revival of the popular Hasbro toy line.

“The Seventh Function of Language,” a novel by French author Laurent Binet, is getting the feature film treatment. Uri Singer, the CEO of TaleFlick, a production company that specializes in adapting books into movies and TV shows, has obtained screen rights to the popular work of fiction.

Singer will produce “The Seventh Function of Language” with Midnight Road Entertainment’s Vincent Sieber, who previously produced “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

The New York Times described Binet’s novel as being “at once a buddy-cop plot, a fish-out-of-water comedy and a spy thriller.” A whodunit set against the backdrop of 1980s France, “The Seventh Function of Language” centers on a literary critic Roland Barthes, who gets hit by a laundry van and dies after having lunch with the presidential candidate François Mitterand. But as the world mourns his death, one question arises: What if it wasn’t an accident at all?

Binet’s first novel,...

Armie Hammer has a succinct answer when asked how it feels for him and Lily James to play the same roles in the new version of Rebecca that were once played by legendary actors Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine: “Well, they’re both dead, what are they gonna say?”

Hammer (Call Me by Your Name) is joking of course, and he acknowledges working under the shadow of both the 1940 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and the classic 1938 Gothic novel by Daphne du Maurier. But he also says that giving the story another go on the screen is a risk worth taking.

“You know, we’re doing an adaptation of a film that Hitchcock also made an adaptation from the same book,” says the actor in our Zoom video interview below. “They’re kind of like big shoes to fill, but at the same time, if you’re not swinging for the fences,...

This article contains spoilers for the film and book versions of Rebecca.

Leave it to Ben Wheatley to remake Alfred Hitchcock. The younger British filmmaking iconoclast has been nothing if not provocative with his filmography so far, which includes the disturbing horror-crime hybrid Kill List (2011), the serial killer black comedy Sightseers (2012), the psychedelic, very weird A Field in England (2014), and the unsettling dystopian nightmare, High-Rise (2015). But with Rebecca he takes on not just a classic Hitchcock film, but the master’s sole Best Picture winner. Why not, right?

We’re being facetious, of course. Wheatley’s version of Rebecca (now on Netflix) is not a remake of the 1940 film but a new adaptation of the 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier on which it is based. Both films are mostly faithful to the book (with a couple of notable exceptions), but Wheatley and his screenwriters coax a moral ambiguity and feminist...

Despite David O. Selznick’s desire to keep his cinematic adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier’s novel Rebecca as true to the source novel as possible and not alienate its built-in fan base, at least one change was unavoidable en route to passing Hollywood’s “Hays Code.” Because it concerns a late-arriving revelation that would spoil things, I won’t say what it was. Just know that this seemingly small alteration on paper beneficially reverberates throughout the entirety of what Selznick and director Alfred Hitchcock put onscreen by allowing their characters room to be sympathetically complex where loyalties are concerned in ways that prove impossible otherwise. So while the ghost of the Manderley estate’s former mistress haunts the proceedings in both scenarios via guilty consciences, only one renders its inhabitants as monsters.

I don’t, however, come to this conclusion in order to share that Du Maurier’s intent...

It takes a certain amount of cojones to remake a movie by Alfred Hitchcock, especially one that nabbed the Academy Award for Best Picture and remains a stone cold classic some 80 years after it first came out. But that’s what British director Ben Wheatley has done with Rebecca, albeit with a film (his first for Netflix) that’s as much a new adaptation of the 1938 Daphne du Maurier novel as it a remake of the master’s Gothic melodrama.

Wheatley is no stranger to risky filmmaking–his resolutely indie resume so far includes extremely unsettling horror (The Kill List), genuinely weird psychedelic experimentation (A Field in England), disturbing dystopian sci-fi (High-Rise), and darkly comedic yet hyper-violent crime thrillers (Sightseers and Free Fire). His biggest risk here, of course, is having his work compared to a landmark from one of film’s most iconic directors. Yet he largely manages to pull off the attempt,...

“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again,” begins both Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 best-seller “Rebecca” and nearly every adaptation of the Gothic novel that has followed, including Alfred Hitchcock’s atmospheric 1940 best picture winner. With such a definitive version already on the books, why reboot “Rebecca”? Well, as the opening line itself suggests, one can and does return to the film’s tragi-romantic estate — shrouded in fog and mystery as it is — as often as one pleases. A fresh take may be foolhardy, but it’s not without interest, and “High Rise” director Ben Wheatley aims to entice those who may be visiting for the first time.

If Rebecca was the first Mrs. de Winter, and Joan Fontaine’s character was the second, what does that make the two wives in Wheatley’s latest update? The third and fourth? Or thirty-first and -second? No doubt, many out there...

“Rebecca” is a story about a second wife who is bombarded with reminders that she will never be as glamorous, as worldly, or as seemingly beloved as her predecessor. Netflix’s new “Rebecca,” directed by Ben Wheatley (“High Rise”), is a remake that constantly reminds us it will never be as suspenseful, as witty, or as unsettling as its own predecessor, Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 adaptation of the popular novel by Daphne du Maurier.

This new “Rebecca” has its own sense of style, and it’s not above fully embracing the pulpy delights of du Maurier’s book, but unlike the unnamed second Mrs. de Winter, it can’t quite break free of the inevitable expectations placed upon it.

That anonymous heroine is played this time around by Lily James, and as the story begins, she’s supposed to be a mousy little nothing — except that she looks and comports herself...

"Rebecca" is the new Brit-produced romantic thriller directed by Ben Wheatley from a screenplay by Jane Goldman, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse, based on the 1938 novel of the same name by author Daphne du Maurier, starring Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Tom Goodman-Hill, Keeley Hawes, Sam Riley and Ann Dowd, opening in theaters October 21, 2020:

Alfred Hitchcock's 1940 feature adaptation, winner of two Oscars, starred Laurence Olivier as the aristocratic widower 'Maxim de Winter', Joan Fontaine as his second wife, and Judith Anderson as psychotic housekeeper, 'Mrs. Danvers'.

"...in 'Rebecca', the heroine (Fontaine) is a paid companion to the wealthy but obnoxious 'Edythe Van Hopper' (Florence Bates), when she meets widower 'Maximilian de Winter' (Olivier) in Monte Carlo. They fall in love, and within two weeks they are married.

"Maxim takes his new bride to 'Manderley', his country house in Cornwall, England. The housekeeper, 'Mrs. Danvers'...

Leave it to an audacious filmmaker like Ben Wheatley to put forth a new adaptation of the novel Rebecca here in 2020. Obviously, the most famous adaptation is the Alfred Hitchcock version from 1940, which might have intimidated many a storyteller. Not Wheatley, who has his version coming to Netflix in late October. In advance of the movie dropping next month, a first Trailer has debuted, showcasing the look and style that the unique director is bringing to the project, as well as his leads Armie Hammer, Lily James, and Kristin Scott Thomas. You can see that Trailer at the bottom of this post, but first…yes, you guessed correctly. We’re going to discuss it a little bit! The film is a mix of drama and thriller, made famous by Hitchcock’s adaptation of the novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier. The official synopsis is as follows: “After...
