Warner Bros. / New Line

The upcoming crime drama film sees the women as wives of Irish mobsters in jail. Written and directed by Andrea Berloff, the film is based on the Vertigo comic book miniseries.

Warner Bros. dropped the very first official trailer for the film, and it looks like the wives are about to take some serious business.

Those who may be expecting a comedy are in for a surprise, as the film is in fact more of a crime drama which that reminds us of last year’s excellent Steve McQueen directed film “Widows.”

Set 1978 New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen, the women are who are forced to take matters into their own hands while their husbands serve their sentences.

Also in the film are Domhnall Gleeson, Margo Martindale, Common, Bill Camp, and James Badge Dale, and many others.

“The Kitchen” set for release on August 9, 2019.

Robert Pattinson in A24’s High Life

Robert Pattinson is the new caped crusader. Today, Variety has confirmed that the actor will take over the role of Batman from Ben Affleck.

Matt Reeves ( “War for the Planet of the Apes”) signed on to direct the film in early 2017. He is known for critical and commercial hits Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) as well as the romantic horror film Let Me In (2010).

No other casting announcement has been made for the movie, though pre-production is expected to begin this summer.

The film would be Pattinson’s return to high profile movies since appearing in five global blockbuster film adaptations of the Twilight novels which concluded in 2012.

Since then, he has appeared in smaller indie films and worked with renowned directors as Werner Herzog and David Cronenberg as well as gained positive reviews in the crime film “Good Time” and this year’s science-fiction horror film “High Life”.

He is also set to appear in Christopher Nolan’s film “Tenet,” set to open July 17, 2020, as well as the dark fantasy horror film “Lighthouse” which has received acclaim at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
