CAST: Samuel Bottomley, Séamus McLean Ross, Lucy Halliday, Rebekah Murrell, James McAvoy, James Corden

CREW: James McAvoy (director), Elaine Gracie and Archie Thomson (writers), Paul Aniello, Simon Kay, Michael Mendelsohn and Danny Page (producers), Raffertie (composer), James Rhodes (cinematographer), Joe Sawyer (editor)

PLOT: Billy (Bottomley) and Gavin (Ross) are a pair of aspiring hip-hop artists from Dundee, Scotland who, in an effort to be taken more seriously by the record industry, pose as American rappers instead…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• One of the strangest hip-hop stories of the modern age is lovingly retold in director James McAvoy’s winning music-tinged comedy
• The actor makes his directorial debut while also taking on a supporting role, leaving fresh faces Samuel Bottomley and Séamus McLean Ross to charm audiences with their lovable chemistry
• All the highs and lows of this incredible hoax are covered, from their humble beginnings to finding themselves touring with the likes of Eminem
• As you might expect, the soundtrack is full of sick beats and some of the most fire lyrics since the Irish band Kneecap lent their vocals to the soundtrack of their eponymous movie
• It’s a true story – we can’t emphasis this enough! – that is given a suitably truthful depiction while making it as fun and accessible to audiences as possible

California Schemin’ is showing in cinemas from Friday 10 April 2026

CAST: Halle Bailey, Regé-Jean Page, Marco Calvani, Aziza Scott, Lorenzo de Moor, Isabella Ferrari, Nia Vardalos

PLOT: Anna (Bailey), a free-spirited young woman, has a chance encounter with Matteo (de Moor), a handsome Italian who owns a luxurious villa in Tuscany, but when she decides to travel there and squat in the rarely-occupied house, she finds herself caught in a web of deception, especially when she becomes acquainted with Matteo’s cousin Michael (Page)…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Fall in love under the Tuscan sun in this bright and cheery rom-com that has plenty to offer for all hopeless romantics out there
• Halle Bailey shares charming chemistry with the ever-handsome Regé-Jean Page as they find themselves in a situation that gets more and more complicated by the minute
• Director Kat Coiro, who previously directed the J-Lo rom-com Marry Me, captures some gorgeous Italian scenery that will make you want to travel to all these destinations
• The central premise sounds extremely wacky, in the best way that a heightened rom-com such as this can be!
• It’ll make you fall in love with not just the lead characters but the place in which they slowly discover their burning attraction

PLOT: Three separate stories set around the world, all involving estranged siblings reuniting to deal with the strained relationships of their parents…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Idiosyncratic auteur Jim Jarmusch presents an all-new triptych that shows the tears within the family ties that bind us all
• The film is split into three sections, each set in different international locations such as the United States, Dublin and Paris
• Among the starry cast of these short stories are A-listers Cate Blanchett and Adam Driver, as well as character actors like Vicky Krieps and Tom Waits
• It was awarded the Golden Lion at last year’s Venice Film Festival, beating eventual Oscar contenders like Bugonia, Frankenstein and The Voice of Hind Rajab
• It’ll have you reflecting on your own familial bonds and how, no matter where you may be in the world, there will always be some difficulties we all must face

PLOT: Evy (Kiri) is the host of a paranormal podcast who is sent recordings of suspected ghostly activity to investigate, drawing her into a deep state of fear and paranoia…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Billed as one of the scariest movies you’ll ever hear, this unsettling Canadian horror will test your auditory senses like never before
• Debut filmmaker Ian Tuason plays with sound in ways that will leave you doubting all the little things you’ll hear throughout the rest of your day, possibly longer!
• Lead actor Nina Kiri is one of the only two people we ever see on-screen with everyone else being voiceovers, adding to the eerie sense of isolation within the scene itself
• It’s already gained praise from audiences around the world, including at last year’s Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal where it won a coveted Audience Award for Best Canadian Feature
• If you were already scared of things that go bump in the night, Lord help you when you decide to experience this nightmarish collection of sounds!

CREW: François Ozon (director, writer, producer), Fatima Al Qadiri (composer), Manu Dacosse (cinematographer), Clément Selitzki (editor)

PLOT: In 1930s French-occupied Algeria, Meursault (Voisin) is an emotionally-detached young man whose life is forever altered by a fateful beach encounter…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Prolific French filmmaker François Ozon presents a gripping and timely new adaptation of the classic Albert Camus novel
• Shot in striking black-and-white cinematography, Ozon allows the existential narrative to unfold with a precise amount of emotional bleakness
• Benjamin Voisin, who previously headlined Summer of 85 for Ozon, delivers a haunting central performance filled with indifference and unreadable emotion
• Ozon displays a magnetic grasp for film noir elements as the mysterious plot reveals an equally complex character with everything yet also nothing to lose
• It’s a profound adaptation that could well rank among the filmmaker’s finest-ever works, just as the original novel once did for Camus himself

The Stranger is showing in cinemas from Friday 10 April 2026

CAST: Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, Kamakshi Bhaskarla, Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Rama Rao Jadhav, Neelsh Ahankari

PLOT: A wrongfully convicted man (Sesh) escapes prison and sets out to exact his vengeance on the woman (Thakur) who betrayed him…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• The latest action blockbuster to emerge from South Asia is a madcap thrill ride that will leave you breathless
• Bollywood superstar Adivi Sesh not only plays the anti-heroic lead role, but also co-wrote the script with the film’s director Shaneil Deo
• It was shot in both Hindi and Telugu languages, offering audiences of either dialect to enjoy it fairly and equally
• Originally meant for release late last year, the launch date was moved back after Sesh injured himself on set while filming one of the film’s many intense action sequences
• The delay was worth it as this is a wildly entertaining ride that offers all that you could ever ask for from an action epic

Dacoit: A Love Story is showing in cinemas from Friday 10 April 2026

CAST: Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, Manoj Joshi, Mithila Palkar, Jisshu Sengupta, Rajesh Sharma

PLOT: A haunted house becomes the stage for a chaotic clash of supernatural surprises…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Scares and laughs are abound in this brand-new horror-comedy from respected Bollywood filmmaker Priyadarshan
• It sees the director and co-writer reunite with leading man Akshay Kumar for the first time in over fifteen years, and for the seventh time overall
• The mysterious plot is rumoured to have taken inspiration from Indian mythology surrounding black magic, as well as extracts from ancient texts such as the Vedas and the Mahabharata
• Priyadarshan’s film is filled with spooky imagery, hilarious physical comedy, and possibly even a few catchy musical numbers as provided by award-winning composer Pritam Chakraborty
• As with Dacoit: A Love Story (see above), filmmakers are bound to have plenty of fun dabbling in all sorts of genres with that classic Bollywood flair

Bhooth Bangla is showing in cinemas from Friday 10 April 2026

CAST: Keanu Reeves, Jonah Hill, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Cary Christopher, David Spade, Laverne Cox, Kaia Gerber, Roy Wood Jr., Susan Lucci, Atsuko Okatsuka, Martin Scorsese, Welker White, Ivy Wolk

CREW: Jonah Hill (director, writer, producer), Ezra Woods (writer), Matt Dines and Alison Goodwin (producers), Benoît Debie (cinematographer), Nick Houy and Nicholas Ramirez (editors)

PLOT: Reef Hawk (Reeves) is a Hollywood A-lister who learns from his crisis lawyer Ira Slitz (Hill) that he is being blackmailed by someone threatening to release a damaging video of him, so he sets out to make amends with those he had previously wronged in an attempt to find the culprit…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Jonah Hill’s second narrative feature as director sees him tackling the incessant egos of Hollywood in a biting yet human satire
• Hill has assembled a fine ensemble of actors to send up their own lifestyles, including Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz, David Spade, and even legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese (who directed Hill to his second Oscar nomination in The Wolf of Wall Street)
• The director himself also takes on a meaty supporting role, though he’s so unrecognisable here that you wouldn’t even know it was him unless you were told!
• It takes hilarious aim at the larger-than-life personalities that make up Hollywood’s shining collection of stars, as well as those of the people who put their visions to celluloid
• Fans of recent films like Jay Kelly and Sentimental Value, which similarly exposed the hollowness of Hollywood, will find that this film goes all too neatly alongside them

Outcome is streaming exclusively on Apple TV+ from Friday 10 April 2026

CAST: Phoebe Dynevor, Whitney Peak, Djimon Hounsou, Alyla Browne, Stacy Clausen, Dante Ubaldi, Costa D’Angelo, Amy Mathews, Elijah Ungvary, Jon Prasida, Gemma Dart, Akosia Sabet, Sian Luxford, Sami Afuni

PLOT: After a powerful hurricane decimates a coastal community, the survivors find themselves fighting against the deadly forces of nature – as well as a pack of hungry sharks…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• Environmental catastrophe meets gruesome shark thriller in this suspenseful display of survival that will leave you thinking as well as thoroughly entertained
• Tommy Wirkola, the genre filmmaker behind cult classics like Dead Snow and Violent Night, writes and directs a mash-up that also speaks to today’s climate instability
• The ensemble cast includes Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, Oscar-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou and Furiosa breakout Alyla Browne, all playing potential victims of some terrifying sharks
• Adding to the surprising prestige factor is the inclusion of Oscar-winning filmmaker Adam McKay, an outspoken pro-environmental activist, as a producer
• Whether you’re after timely commentary or just some good old-fashioned shark action, you’ll more than likely get what you want out of this movie

PLOT: In 1959, a group of young boys – Gordie (Wheaton), Chris (Phoenix), Teddy (Feldman) and Vern (O’Connell) – set out on a journey together to find the dead body of a missing boy…

FIVE REASONS TO BE EXCITED:

• In celebration of its 40th anniversary, as well as to mark the recent tragic death of director Rob Reiner, comes an all-new theatrical run of a beloved coming-of-age classic
• Stephen King’s novella The Body was adapted into a slice-of-life historical drama that made stars out of its young leads Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman and Jerry O’Connell
• The film became a major hit with critics and audiences at the time of its release, earning an Oscar nomination for its screenplay while later inspiring other filmmakers with their own nostalgic tales
• Most importantly, King himself was hugely impressed by the film, calling it one of his favourite adaptations of his work alongside The Shawshank Redemption
• Its legacy as a timeless study of childhood friendship is rock solid, with more and more audiences of all ages discovering the camaraderie that they may recognise amongst their own band of friends
