WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the near-future, Jean Thomas aka The Nurse (Foster) manages the Hotel Artemis, a secret members-only hospital for criminals where assassins, gunrunners, thieves and gangsters are treated for wounds they may have sustained whilst on duty. One night, legendary crime boss Orian Franklin aka Niagra (Goldblum) arrives seeking immediate treatment after an assassination attempt, but his arrival causes commotion amongst the other criminals in the hospital, leading to The Nurse making a decision that could jeopardise the future of the ER and everyone on it…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

With A-list character actors and plenty of action violence to go around, Hotel Artemis should make for a solid directorial debut by prominent screenwriter Drew Pearce.
