Bong Joon Ho’s latest sci-fi comedy “Mickey 17”, has released its first trailer.
The highly-anticipated film Joon Ho’s first film following the success of 2019’s Parasite, the first foreign-language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
The feature adaptation of the science fiction novel by Edward Ashton follows the story of Mickey 17, an “expendable”, who is a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact.
Along with Pattinson, the film also stars Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Thomas Turgoose.
“Mickey 17” is set for release on January 31, 2025.
THE SACRIFICE (1986), Russian expat master Andrei Tarkovsky’s final film, will run at Film Forum in a new 4K restoration from Friday, October 25 through Thursday, October 31.
Opening with a small group of familiar players in a tense isolated situation, THE SACRIFICE unfolds to encompass the director’s cosmic view as, faced with nuclear holocaust, a mystic sacrifice must be offered to restore the world — with unforeseen results.
Produced in Sweden with a cast headed by Bergman star Erland Josephson (Scenes from a Marriage, Cries and Whispers) the film was shot by Bergman’s longtime cinematographer, two-time Oscar winner Sven Nykvist. The director’s last work – made as he was dying of cancer – THE SACRIFICE is Tarkovsky’s personal statement, a profoundly moving, redemptive tragedy steeped in unforgettable imagery, including an astounding long take at the film’s finale.
The film was awarded the Grand Prix and a prize for artistic contribution (in recognition of Nykvist’s cinematography) at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival, and won the 1988 BAFTA for Best Foreign Language Film.
Entertainment Squad has announced that upcoming horror, The Deserving, will be released worldwide on digital download on October 1st under its genre label, The Horror Collective.
Directed by S. S. Arora, who makes his feature debut, The Deserving stars Venkat Sai Gunda, Simone Stadler, and Kelsey Stalter. The film has already amassed a number of accolades, having won over fifteen awards including Best Feature at Athens IFF, Best Horror at Hallucinea FF, and awards at Humro Cinema, Portugal Indie Film Festival, and Rome Indie Film Fest.
Exploring themes of guilt, redemption, and the cyclical nature of abuse, The Deserving follows a tormented, mute serial killer who is haunted by the ghosts of his victims and plans to end his life. His resolve is disrupted when a desperate walk-in client arrives, needing an urgent photo shoot.
Talking about the film’s release, Producer Venkat Sai Gunda said, “As a filmmaker, I am thrilled to bring The Deserving to audiences worldwide. This film is a labor of love, exploring themes of suspense and psychological intrigue that I hope will captivate viewers. With its upcoming release, I’m excited to share this cinematic journey with everyone who enjoys a thought-provoking thriller.”

Dark Sky Films is set to release date supernatural thriller “I Will Never Leave You Alone” to VOD/Digital Platforms on October 18, 2024.
Richard is a mute who is on parole from prison and has been released into the mandatory custody of a superstitious real estate investor who pays him to stay alone in a haunted house for six days to rid it of evil spirits. This is his chance to return to a normal life, but there’s a dark catch: if he fails to stay all six nights, the investor will send him back to prison.
Once on the isolated property, Richard finds a creepy, old doll that unleashes the evil spirit of a witch murdered on the property centuries ago. The witch haunts him and eventually tortures him using the painful memories that led him to prison. Pushed to his limit after a few days, he can’t leave or stay.
Unable to ask for help or even scream, Richard is trapped and alone, struggling to cope with haunting as it destroys his reality. There’s no telling what Richard will do if the witch-ghost fully invades his mind.
