Every couple has probably had some version of the “celebrity hall pass” conversation. You know, that silly little relationship joke where each person names the famous crush they’d be allowed to spend one consequence-free night with if the impossible somehow became possible.
Harmless, right? Well, only until the joke stops being a fantasy and starts sounding more like a mission statement.
That’s the very funny, very dangerous setup behind Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass, a new comedy from director David Wain, the comedian and filmmaker behind Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models. Co-written by Wain and Ken Marino, the film takes a dumb relationship joke and pushes it to its most chaotic, absurd extreme.
Zoey Deutch stars as Gail Daughtry, a small-town hairdresser engaged to her devoted high school sweetheart, Tom. But her comfortable life gets knocked sideways when a trip to a book signing somehow leads to Tom meeting… and sleeping with his own “celebrity pass.”
Not exactly the kind of autograph Gail had in mind.
Reeling from the betrayal, Gail impulsively joins her friend Otto (played by Miles Gutierrez-Riley) on a trip to Los Angeles, where things only get stranger. After a psychic (Kerri Kenney-Silver) convinces her that the only way to save her impending marriage is to “even the scales” with her own celebrity pass, Gail sets her sights on one man: Mad Men’s Jon Hamm. Apparently, Hamm might be the only way to save her marriage — which is either deeply romantic or a terrible idea with excellent celebrity casting.
From there, the film turns into a full-blown Tinseltown scavenger hunt, with Gail and Otto teaming up with a talent agency assistant, a paparazzo, and actor John Slattery as they chase the elusive Hamm through the wacky and weird underbelly of Los Angeles.
The cast is stacked with familiar faces, including Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Ken Marino, Ben Wang, Sabrina Impacciatore, Joe Lo Truglio, Tobie Windham, Mather Zickel, Matthew Jayson Cwern, Thomas Lennon, Fred Melamed, Michael Cassidy, Michael Ian Black, Richard Kind, and Zac Oyama.
With Wain and Marino behind the script, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass sounds like the kind of comedy that starts with one ridiculous “what if” and keeps sprinting until reality has completely left the building.
The film is scheduled to screen at the Tribeca Festival on June 10th before opening in theaters July 10th. So maybe think twice before sharing your celebrity hall pass out loud. You never know when your spouse might be taking notes.
Some families try to climb the social ladder with grace. Others do it with duels, decadence, and enough bad decisions to turn the family estate into a full-blown madhouse. That appears to be the wonderfully wicked setup behind Savage House, a new black comedy period satire set in 18th-century England, where disease is spreading, political unrest is brewing, and polite society is doing what it does best: pretending everything is perfectly fine while quietly sharpening the knives.
Richard E. Grant stars as Sir Chauncey Savage, with Claire Foy as Lady Savage, an ambitious aristocratic couple determined to improve their social standing no matter how ugly things get. And yes, with a family name like Savage, subtlety was apparently never invited to dinner.
Set against the backdrop of a massive pox outbreak and the Jacobite uprising, the film follows the Savages as their blind pursuit of wealth and comfort spirals into a pressure cooker of vanity, manners, schemes, and bloodshed. Outside the gates, England is rattled by illness and rebellion. Inside the house, the ruling class is doing a pretty spectacular job of destroying itself.
Written and directed by Peter Glanz, who previously wrote and directed the indie rom-com The Longest Week and recently contributed to the screenplay for Captain America: Brave New World, the film boasts a strong supporting ensemble, including Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Vicki Pepperdine, Richard McCabe, and Pip Torrens.
Part powdered-wig costume piece, part upper-class absurdity where fine manners can barely hide the societal rot, Savage House is slated to open in theaters June 5th. Sometimes when the world outside is falling apart, the rich can still find a way to make things worse indoors.
Young love is hard enough when you’re attracted to someone you’re not sure you’re allowed to want. But add a mysterious, malicious spirit into the mix, and teenage desire suddenly becomes a whole lot more complicated… and a whole lot more dangerous.
Coming off a strong debut at Sundance earlier this year, Leviticus has been lauded by critics for blending a tender queer coming-of-age tale of two Australian boys secretly falling love with each other with the eeriness and dread of supernatural horror.
Hailing from writer-director Adrian Chiarella, making his feature debut, the film follows Naim and Ryan, two teenage boys whose growing attraction to each other is complicated by something far more terrifying than awkward glances, buried feelings, or the fear of being outed. A violent entity begins hunting them, taking the form of the person they desire most: each other.
Which means the very thing pulling them closer may also be the thing trying to destroy them.
Newcomers Joe Bird and Stacy Clausen star as Naim and Ryan, placing the film’s emotional core on two young characters caught between longing and survival. The cast also includes Alice in Wonderland’s Mia Wasikowska as Naim’s mother, along with Jeremy Blewitt, Ewen Leslie, Nicholas Hope, and Edwina Wren.
Written and directed by Chiarella, Leviticus sounds like the kind of horror film where the monster isn’t just lurking in the shadows, but feeding off the scariest parts of adolescence, perhaps highlighting the very feelings of adolescence that seem the most dangerous: desire, shame, fear, and the terrifying idea of being truly seen.
Acquired by NEON, Leviticus is slated to open in theaters June 19th.

This 1970s-set drama stars Willem Dafoe as Marcos Timoleon, a wealthy Greek tycoon throwing an extravagant birthday party for his daughter Sofia, played by Vic Carmen Sonne, on a secluded Mediterranean island.

Directed and co-written by Miguel Ángel Jiménez, and based on Panos Karnezis’ novel, the film also stars Joe Cole, Emma Suárez, and Carlos Cuevas. Consider this your invitation to the party of the year… just don’t expect everyone to leave smiling.
The tournament is getting a major ego boost. This blood-soaked sequel brings Karl Urban into the rebooted franchise as Johnny Cage, a washed-up Hollywood action star whose big-screen bravado gets tested when he’s thrown into a very real world of supernatural warriors, deadly rivalries, and bone-cracking combat. Meet some of the new characters coming to this new sequel, where the roster gets bigger, the battles get bloodier, and the fatalities look ready to level up.
Mando is coming in hot. This new sneak peek clip from Jon Favreau’s upcoming Star Wars flick drops us into an action scene with Din Djarin behind the controls of a landspeeder, a bounty in tow, and trouble closing in fast. With enemies on his tail, he calls on his little green partner for some backup, because sometimes even the galaxy’s coolest bounty hunter needs a tiny Force-powered assist. The road to the big screen apparently comes with plenty of blaster fire.
Feel the need all over again. This special IMAX double feature brings Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick back to the big screen, pairing Tony Scott’s 1986 fighter-pilot classic with Joseph Kosinski’s 2022 legacy sequel for one full-throttle theatrical ride. Tom Cruise’s Pete “Maverick” Mitchell goes from cocky hotshot chasing glory at the Navy’s elite flight school to battle-tested aviator confronting his past while training a new generation for an impossible mission. Two films, one big screen, and enough jet-fueled nostalgia to rattle the cockpit. It’s time to be Tom’s wingman all over again.
We’re taking it back to the swamp. DreamWorks Animation’s Oscar-winning comedy classic returns to theaters for its 25th anniversary, bringing back Mike Myers as the grumpy ogre who just wants a little peace, Eddie Murphy as his motor-mouthed new best friend Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, and John Lithgow as the tiny tyrant Lord Farquaad. What starts as a simple mission to clear out Shrek’s swamp turns into a twisted fairy-tale rescue full of dragons, bad deals, unlikely friendship, and ogre-sized feelings. Some classics age like fine wine; this one ages like onions.
Family reunions are always tricky, especially when there’s buried robbery money involved. This offbeat Danish crime comedy stars Nikolaj Lie Kaas as Anker, a recently released convict who sets out to recover the loot he stashed years earlier, only to discover that his oddly eccentric brother Manfred, played by Mads Mikkelsen (going against type), can no longer remember where it is. Written and directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Anders Thomas Jensen, of Riders of Justice, the film turns a desperate treasure hunt into a chaotic, darkly funny journey between two brothers still digging through the wreckage of their past. Sometimes the real score isn’t the buried loot but whatever sibling damage gets unearthed along the way.
Some diet trends take things to grave extremes. This Australian supernatural horror film stars Grey’s Anatomy’s Midori Francis as Hana, a lovelorn medical student who falls into an obscure weight-loss craze that involves eating human ashes… only to find herself haunted by the ghost of the person she’s consuming. Written and directed by Relic and Apartment 7A filmmaker Natalie Erika James, the film co-stars Danielle Macdonald, Madeleine Madden, Robert Taylor, and Showko Showfukutei.

Every road trip has its detours, especially when the destination is stopping your mom from marrying some guy she just met. This comedy stars Sophia Bush as Alice, a buttoned-up daughter who plans a bachelorette road trip with her free-spirited mother Jeanie, played by Lauren Holly, hoping to pump the brakes on her whirlwind romance with Steve Guttenberg’s mystery man.

Directed by B-movie helmer Christopher Ray, the indie film stars Vivica A. Fox, Brittany Underwood, Dee Wallace, the late Robert Carradine (in one of his final roles), Miko Hughes, Zack Ward, Rob Van Dam, and Adam Huss.

What begins with a chance encounter and a dream of superstardom turns into a sprawling search for destiny and whatever comes after fame.
Some productions become legendary because everything goes right. This one became legendary because almost nothing did. This 4K Blu-Ray Collector’s Edition revisits Eleanor Coppola’s extraordinary behind-the-scenes video diary-slash-documentary on the chaotic making of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now, capturing the storms, breakdowns, health scares, political unrest, and private anxieties that nearly swallowed the Vietnam War epic whole. With rare footage, candid interviews, and Coppola’s own secretly taped conversations, the film remains a fascinating portrait of artistic obsession at its most brilliant and terrifying. Turns out the making of Apocalypse Now was its own kind of war movie… and Francis’s beloved wife, Eleanor, was there to record every unforgettable moment.
Before Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!, Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann kicked up the glitter back in early ‘90s with this wildly theatrical ballroom fairytale. This new 4K restoration brings his feature debut back to the screen, following Paul Mercurio as Scott Hastings, a rule-breaking dancer who scandalizes the ballroom establishment with his own rebellious moves. When he partners with Fran, played by Tara Morice, an overlooked beginner with more promise than anyone expects, the film turns sequins, sweat, and stubborn self-expression into pure cinematic sparkle.
Fear has a way of inventing its own monsters. Set in Chile in 1982, this haunting drama follows eleven-year-old Lidia as she grows up in a remote mining town among a queer family of performers, only to watch paranoia spread when a mysterious illness is rumored to pass through a single gaze between men. Written and directed by Diego Céspedes, the Cannes Un Certain Regard winner turns superstition, stigma, and survival into a deeply personal coming-of-age story. Sometimes the most dangerous thing in town isn’t the myth, but the people willing to believe it.
A sheltered life cracks open in this Spanish period drama set against the shifting social climate of 1970s Spain. Newcomer Elisabeth Martínez stars as Adela, an only child in Pamplona whose quiet life with her conservative parents is upended by a life-changing discovery: she is intersex. The revelation pushes her beyond the boundaries of the world she has always known, sending her to Madrid in search of identity, love, and the freedom to finally define herself. Directed by Fernando González Molina and written by Alana S. Portero, the film also stars Anna Castillo, Paco León, Lola Rodríguez, and Manu Ríos. Some journeys begin when the life you were handed no longer fits in one box.

With no one coming forward to claim her, Noelle becomes determined to uncover who the girl was and why her death is already being pushed toward cold-case oblivion. Written and directed by Wadjda filmmaker Haifaa Al Mansour, the film turns one woman’s search for answers into a tense portrait of grief, justice, and a society quietly shifting beneath her feet.
Snake hunting is apparently a team sport in Florida. This documentary follows the annual competition to remove invasive pythons from the Everglades, where an eclectic group of amateur hunters spends ten grueling nights battling brutal terrain, nocturnal creatures, and whatever personal demons drove them into the swamp in the first place. Directed by Xander Robin, the film turns an environmental crisis into a strange, sweaty, and darkly funny portrait of obsession, ego, and ecological desperation. Call it conservation with fangs.
When justice fails, survivors are left to fight for themselves. This powerful documentary takes a hard look at the Troubled Teen Industry, a network of for-profit institutions that claim to reform youth while leaving generations of families to confront the damage of institutional abuse.
