Meet the Cat in the Hat you don’t know! In the wonderfully whimsical tradition of Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat comes to the big screen in his animated theatrical feature film debut, an all-new, epic adventure with an edge, where mischief, magic and mayhem reign supreme.
Doing what he does best, the Cat—voiced by Bill Hader—spreads joy to kids in his hilarious, signature and singularly irreverent way, transporting them and audiences on a fantastical journey through a world they’ve never seen before.
In the film, our hero takes on his toughest assignment yet for the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC): to cheer Gabby and Sebastian, a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town. Known for taking things too far, this could be this agent of chaos’s last chance to prove himself…or lose his magical hat!
Get ready for an adorable, family friendly film this Thanksgiving!
Remember when Hader played the cat in the SNL skit?
Starring alongside Hader are Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry, Quinta Brunson, and Paula Pell, and featuring Tiago Martinez, Giancarlo Esposito, America Ferrera, Bowen Yang, and Tituss Burgess.
The Cat in the Hat is directed by Erica Rivinoja and Alessandro Carloni from their own screenplay, story by Caroline Williams, and produced by Daniela Mazzucato.
Warner Bros. Pictures Animation’s first full-length feature film, THE CAT IN THE HAT, comes to theaters and IMAX® across North America on November 6, 2026, and internationally beginning 4 November 2026. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
Here’s a first look at the new trailer and poster for director Ridley Scott’s THE DOG STARS. The film, a riveting, epic thriller set in a world where survival is instinct, but humanity is a choice, opens exclusively in theaters August 28.
The film tells the story of Hig (Jacob Elordi), a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley (Josh Brolin), has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal post-apocalyptic world. But when Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exist.
Based on Peter Heller’s captivating bestseller, THE DOG STARS features Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Allison Janney, Benedict Wong, and Guy Pearce.
The screenplay is by Mark L. Smith, based upon the novel by Peter Heller, and the producers are Ridley Scott, p.g.a., Michael Pruss, p.g.a., Mark L. Smith, and Cliff Roberts, p.g.a., with Lily Brooks-Dalton, Brandon Scott Smith, Peter Heller, Aidan Elliott serving as executive producers.
As anyone can tell from the title, this Australian drama, SEVEN SNIPERS, is an action flick. What you can’t tell is that the level of action may be less than genre fans would prefer. Radha Mitchell stars as a former topnotch army sniper, now not only retired to a remote ranch with her teen daughter (Annabel Wolfe), but apparently hiding from someone or something (or both) in her past. Early on, she’s discovered by one who wants to relay her location to a grudge holder, forcing her to summon whomever she can among her old colleagues to help her defend against the imminent attack. Six of them answer the call.
It becomes likely that the guy who put a big bounty on her head is “Dragon” (Tim Roth), the most vicious, if not psychotic, player in their previous military endeavors (or endeavours, for the cast of Aussies and Brits), and his looming presence scares the (insert your own synonym for excrement) out of several. They all thought he had been killed long ago. They all gonna be proven wrong quite soonly.
So that gives us seven good guys (in the gender-neutral sense of the word), plus the daughter and her boyfriend vs. Roth, with all the action occurring in and around Mitchell’s isolated homestead, interlaced with a few flashbacks. What unfolds is a mixed bag of plot, character development and action that adds up to a so-so package. Roth is quite adept at playing smugly creepy, evil characters, conveying menace levels beyond his slight stature, in the vein of actors like Steve Buscemi, Joe Pantoliano or Jackie Earle Haley. Here, he does a lot of damage in relatively little screen time or dialog. And we eventually learn why he’s been dogging Mitchell for years with such determination.
It’s hard to stretch out that small cast and setup for 87 minutes. Unfortunately, Andrew O’Keefe’s script does that by having its characters make a number of annoyingly illogical moves, especially for seasoned soldiers. Those watching for bloodlust will get rewarded by a number of shots with serious doses of splatter. Mitchell, Wolfe and Roth are all worth watching, even in a vehicle that doesn’t give any of them their best chance to shine.
So, with suitably modulated expectations, this little flick may be enjoyable enough for fans of shoot-em-ups and the principals.
SEVEN SNIPERS streams on Well Go USA Entertainment starting Friday, June 5, 2026.
Since the musical biopic MICHAEL is still in the box office top ten, how about another tune-filled flick? The big difference here is that this new release is a fiction film, though many music historians muse about the MJ movie. So that’s where any comparisons end, despite the resemblance to several “real-life rockers” in this endearing “dramedy”. With music. It’s firmly the focus of the story. Luckily, this flick’s filmmaker has racked up a long list of such cinematic “melody movies”. But will he break his winning streak (with “niche” audiences and lots of critics) with a story concerning a “creator-questionable” POWER BALLAD?
And, appropriately, we meet a man by the name of Power in the film’s opening scene. That’s Rick Power (Paul Rudd), a pop star with a few modest singles decades ago. But those were the “Glory Days”. Now he’s the frontman and lead singer for a quartet of middle-aged musicians who travel through Ireland, entertaining at wedding receptions as “Bride & Groove”. They mainly do “covers” of classics by Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, and other icons. Still, Rick likes to sneak in his lone hit song from so many years ago, much to the chagrin of his bandmates and the disinterest of the audience. At night’s end, they load up the B&G van and motor home. For Rick, that’s a modest abode he shares with his working wife Rachel (Marcella Plunkett), and high-school-aged daughter Aja (Beth Fallon). Yes, Rick gave up a rocker’s life in the States to move to the “Emerald Isle” for love. B&G’s next gig is quite a step “up” for a couple of reasons. First, they have overnight accommodations in a fancy, revamped castle. And second, they’re told that a friend of the couple, a very recent “boy-band” heartthrob named Danny Wilson, may pop up on stage. And he indeed does, as Danny (Nick Jonas) joins B&G for a Stevie Wonder classic. Long after the reception, Rick takes a stroll on the grounds and is approached by Danny. They enter his plush suite, where they indulge in fine booze, some buds, and a few new tunes for Danny’s first solo album. Into the early morning, the duo jams, with Rick playing some of his own unreleased works. Come the dawn, B&G is back on the road. The two go on with their lives, until…Rick hears Danny’s new smash single while at a shopping mall. Why, “How to Write a Song (Without You)” sounds exactly like the song Rick played for Danny. Ah, but Rick has no proof, as he has no sheet music and can’t locate the sound file on his computer. He becomes obsessed and nearly destroys his ties to his band and family, while getting the “run-around” from Danny’s stateside management, headed by the protective Mac (Jack Reynor). Hearing of a Wilson stateside concert tour, Rick plans a trip there with off-kilter band buddy Sandy (Peter McDonald). Can they confront Danny after his big show? More importantly, can Rick make Danny admit that his “comeback” song sprang from that long-ago, hazy night of music (and “enhancers”)?
It’s another big audience-pleasing performance by the “ageless” Mr. Rudd. Once again, he’s the affable everyman hero, a good, honest “Joe” we’re immediately rooting for, even when he’s at his lowest ebb (and things get dark for a bit). It helps that Rudd embraces a “team player’ spirit, whether he’s with his family or fellow bandmates. Sure, we heard him sing a bit of “Afternoon Delight” in a classic comedy, but we haven’t had a real taste of his musical “chops” till now. And in previous flicks like ROLE MODELS, I LOVE YOU MAN, and even DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS, Rudd is part of a great “bromance”, tis time with “for real” pop star Jonas as Danny Wilson (nice inside “naming job” as this was the title character in a late 40s Sinatra film). He’s got a nice. low-key, unaffected vibe, especially as he finds a kindred spirit/mentor in Rick. DW’s in need of a guide during this crucial career crossroads. Jonas also has great chemistry with Havana Rose Liu (so good in a larger role in last week’s TUNER) as Danny’s adoring girlfriend in a couple of brief but pivotal scenes, as she is the inspiration for that big, perhaps borrowed, hit single. Another essential part of the Wilson “machine” is Reynor as Mac, a great pal and cheerleader who’s also his “defense” against those who would con or exploit him. On the Power home front, Plunkett is a strong, steady co-parenting partner who’s also supportive but knows when to step in or step back. Fallon also hits all the right notes as daughter Aja, who delivers some memorable quips, particularly when she tells her Dad what young women really want in life. Quirky comedy relief is provided by co-screenwriter McDonald as the loyal, often dense Sandy, whose “filter” always is on the “fritz”.
As you may have guessed, the filmmaker in question is the multi-talented John Carney, who co-wrote the script along with composing several songs. And yes, this is a great companion to his impressive roster of musical movies, ONCE, BEGIN AGAIN, SING STREET, and FLORA AND SON. Here, Carney really does a deep dive into the creative process with the compelling Rick and Danny “all-nighter”, and as DW prepares for his big concerts. We’re also given a small peek inside the ever-changing music industry, as Danny strives to avoid Rick’s career pitfalls while starting a solo legacy. And like his previous works, Carney gives us a great batch of warm, endearing characters who mount a formidable “charm offense” led by Rudd. Plus, we get lots of “throwaway” bits, from the exchanging glances at the big castle event (somehow both disgust and lust), and the Power home dynamic (Aja trying to quietly move past Papa’s studio room). And, as with his previous films, Carney projects such a wonderful humanity, with no real “villains’, yet still not allowing the story to seep into sugary sweet sentimentality. Everyone’s trying their best to get through life while dealing with past missteps. And the tunes are pretty great, too. So, if you need a breather from the big Summer blockbuster onslaught, take a melodic trek into the “old sod” for a toe-tapping lyrical fable that is also a POWER BALLAD. And maybe Rudd will join those Jonas Bros for a “set” very soon.
WAMG absolutely loves the ICE AGE franchise – its funny and cute for both adults and kids!
On Thursday, an all-new trailer and poster was released for ICE AGE: BOILING POINT, the highly anticipated next chapter in the iconic herd’s prehistoric misadventures.
The teaser trailer shows Manny (voice of Ray Romano), Diego (voice of Denis Leary), Sid (voice of John Leguizamo), Buck (voice of Simon Pegg) and Ellie (voice of Queen Latifah) – along with acorn-obsessed Scrat, Crash, Eddie and Baby Scrat – as they blast out of a volcano and straight into a dinosaur-and-lava-filled madcap adventure to visit never-before-seen corners of the treacherous Lost World.
Totally all in! No wonder the IA franchise is one of the biggest pulling in over $3.2 billion across its five theatrical releases. The franchise maintains its highly family-friendly appeal by using a deliberate mix of broad comedy, safe physical humor, and universal emotional themes.
“Ice Age: Boiling Point” is directed by John Donkin (“The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild”) and produced by Lori Forte (“Ice Age,” “Ice Age: Collision Course”). The film releases exclusively in theaters February 5, 2027.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left two friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline. In FALL 2: DEADPOINT, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Starring Harriet Slater, Arsema Thomas and Tom Brittney, check out the first teaser for the film, hitting theaters September 2.
FALL 2 is helmed by The Spierig Brothers who directed DAYBREAKERS, PREDESTINATION and WINCHESTER. It is written by Jonathan Frank & Scott Mann, based on the character created by Jonathan Frank & Scott Mann.
In 2023, it was reported by DEADLINE that a sequel was planned after FALL became a sleeper hit on Netflix. THR also reported that a third film was planned, setting up what will become a franchise.
“The indie thriller grossed close to $22M after being made on a $5M budget and has enjoyed word-of-mouth success on streaming services including Netflix, where it has scored top-10 rankings in four territories.”
James Harris and Mark Lane produced FALL as well as the other box office hit, 47 METERS DOWN.
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
Stars Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Kenan Thompson, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Kim Wayans, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Damon Wayans Jr., Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Cameron Scott Roberts, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Gregg Wayans, Benny Zielke, Ruby Snowber.
