WHERE WILL YOUR DREAMS TAKE YOU?

SING 2 IN CINEMAS 28 JANUARY Director Garth Jennings / Starring Matthew McConaughey, Taron Egerton, Bono / Genre Animation, Family, Musical Illumination’s smash hit returns with bigger dreams and spectacular songs as can-do koala Buster Moon and his all-star cast of animal performers launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet. There’s just one hitch: first they have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rockstar, voiced by legendary music icon Bono, to join them.

Buster and his cast have turned the New Moon Theatre into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theatre in glamorous Redshore City. But with no connections, Buster and his cast – including harried mother pig Rosita, rocker porcupine Ash, earnest gorilla Johnny, shy elephant Meena, and, of course, porcine provocateur extraordinaire Gunter – are forced to make a desperate bid and promise that their new show will star lion rock legend Clay Calloway.

Problem is, Buster has never met Clay, an artist who shut himself away from the world more than a decade ago after the loss of his wife and hasn’t been seen since. Now, Buster must embark on a quest to find Clay and persuade him to return to the stage.

What begins as Buster’s dream of an out-of-this-world theatrical masterpiece becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.

Uncharted IN CINEMAS 11 FEBRUARY Director Ruben Fleischer / Starring Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas / Genre Action, Adventure Based on the best-selling and critically-acclaimed video game series, Uncharted introduces audiences to young street-smart Nathan Drake and tells the story of how he comes to meet his wisecracking partner Victor “Sully” Sullivan. Showcasing the duo’s first treasure hunting adventure together, the action-packed adventure epic follows Nathan and Sully as they go in dangerous pursuit of the greatest treasure never found. On their globetrotting journey, they must stay one step ahead of a rival collector while tracking clues that may also lead them to discovering the fate of Nathan’s long-lost brother.

THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE IN CINEMAS 4 FEBRUARY Director Michael Showalter / Starring Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield, Cherry Jones / Genre Biography, Drama Jessica Chastain delivers a transformative performance in an intimate look at the extraordinary rise, fall, and redemption of televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker. In the 1970s and 80s, Tammy Faye and her husband, Jim Bakker, rose from humble beginnings to create the world’s largest religious broadcasting network and theme park, and were revered for their message of love, acceptance, and prosperity. Tammy was legendary for her indelible eyelashes, her idiosyncratic singing, and her eagerness to embrace people from all walks of life. However, it wasn’t long before financial improprieties, scheming rivals, and scandal toppled their carefully-constructed empire.

With only a few trusted allies among the city’s corrupt network of officials, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance. When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld where he must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham.

As the action rockets them around the globe, the quartet of women must forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world, or get them killed.

It’s 1943. The Allies are determined to break Hitler’s grip on occupied Europe and plan an all-out assault on Sicily, but they face an impossible challenge: how to protect a massive invasion force from massacre. It falls to two intelligence officers, Ewen Montagu and Charles Cholmondeley, to dream the most inspired and improbable disinformation strategy of the war; centred on the most unlikely of secret agents: a dead man.

Directors Laurent Zeitoun, Théodore Ty / Starring Olivia Cooke, Kenneth Branagh / Genre Animation, Family

In the spectacular new disaster epic from the director of Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012, mankind will face the dark side of the Moon. When a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth, it’s sent hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it.

With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler is convinced she has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from her past and a conspiracy theorist believe her.

This unlikely trio of heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.

Ever since she was a child, Georgia Nolan has had only one dream: to become a fireman, just like her father.

Unfortunately, in 1930s New York women are not allowed to be firemen. But, when the city’s firemen begin to disappear in a series of mysterious fires, Georgia sees a golden opportunity. Disguising herself as Joe, an awkward young man, she joins the team of firemen charged with stopping the arsonist. Georgia must keep her false identity at all costs, especially since her father will be leading the high-risk investigation. Starring Olivia Cooke and Kenneth Branagh, Fireheart is a heartfelt comedy about teamwork, family, and having the courage to pursue your dreams.

Her desire to prove herself takes a personal turn when she meets one of the school’s most disturbed patients.

Director Kenneth Branagh / Starring Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench / Genre Drama

Cyrano de Bergerac is a man ahead of his time who dazzles with ferocious wordplay at verbal jousts and brilliant swordplay in duels. But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of his beloved Roxanne, he’s yet to declare his feelings for her, and she’s fallen for another man. Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with his reimagining of the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle.

When a disconnected phone on the wall rings, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer’s previous victims.

In 1961, sixty-year-old Kempton Bunton stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London and promised to return it if the government invested in care for the elderly. Only fifty years later did the full story emerge, Kempton had spun a web of lies.

The Electrical Life Of Louis Wain IN CINEMAS 1 JANUARY

MURDER WAS JUST THE BEGINNING

Death On The Nile IN CINEMAS 11 FEBRUARY

Director Will Sharpe / Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Claire Foy, Andrea Riseborough / Genre Biography, Drama, History

Director Kenneth Branagh / Starring Kenneth Branagh, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer / Genre Crime, Drama, Mystery

Benedict Cumberbatch and Claire Foy star in the extraordinary true story of eccentric British artist Louis Wain, whose playful, sometimes even psychedelic pictures helped to transform the public’s perception of cats forever. Moving from the late 1800s through to the 1930s, the film reveals the incredible adventures of this inspiring, unsung hero as he seeks to unlock the “electrical” mysteries of the world and better understand his own life and the profound love he shares with his wife Emily. The new film from the BAFTA-winning director of Channel 4’s Flowers also boasts an all-star ensemble support cast that includes Andrea Riseborough, Toby Jones, Hayley Squires, Taika Waititi, Nick Cave, and Olivia Colman.

Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travellers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the shocking denouement.

The filmmaking team of Murder On The Orient Express reunite for Death On The Nile that stars Kenneth Branagh as the iconic detective and an all-star cast of suspects.

“JESSICA CHASTAIN DELIVERS AN OSCAR-WORTHY PERFORMANCE AND ANDREW GARFIELD IS NOTHING LESS THAN SENSATIONAL” REX REED, OBSERVER

IN CINEMAS FEBRUARY 4 PROPERTY OF 20TH CENTURY STUDIOS. PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY. SALE, DUPLICATION, OR OTHER TRANSFER OF THIS MATERIAL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES Step right up as film’s fantasy ringmaster, Guillermo del Toro, escorts us down Nightmare Alley. Ladies and gentlemen…the carnival is coming to town. WORDS ROBB SHEPPARD IN CINEMAS 21 JANUARY

Director Guillermo del Toro / Starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, Toni Collette, Rooney Mara / Genre Crime, Drama, Thriller With spectacular shows, overpriced snacks, and suspicious games of “skill”, the carnival can be an expensive affair. Throw in Bradley Cooper’s unscrupulous chancer and Cate Blanchett’s savvy psychiatrist, a duo hell-bent on swindling unsuspecting punters, then the cost could become so much more than just cold, hard cash.

A fresh take on William Lindsey Gresham’s novel rather than a remake of the 1947 film of the same name, Nightmare Alley feels more like a film noir thriller than the flat-out fantasy we’ve come to expect from

Guillermo del Toro. As a result, the auteur’s atmospheric adaptation feels even more threatening, with femme fatales, corrupt con men, and the promise of a disorienting twist in the tale.

If that doesn’t sound like the greatest show on Earth, then the cast lining up to work with del Toro surely will. As well as Cooper and Blanchett, this star-studded show also puts Willem Dafoe, Toni Collette, Rooney Mara, and del Toro’s perennial favourite Ron Perlman on the billing.

“Is it a beast…or is it a man?” asks Dafoe’s carnival barker of his central attraction, but also of Cooper’s con man. With the latter, we’re betting he’s a little bit of both.

del toro’s dark dreams Hellboy

The comic book cre ature feature didn’t garner much awards attention, but it did bring big bucks from the boxoffice. It remains a great shame that Ron Perlman’s de-horned, devilish anti-hero nev er got that trilogy.

Pan’s Labyrinth

Attracting a triumv irate of critical acclaim and awards, Pan’s Labyrinth is most notable for its iconic creepy creatures; primarily the Pale Ma n, whose eyes fit snuggly into his palms.

The Shape Of Wate

Whilst flirting with fantasy, the love affair betwe en Sally Hawkins’ cleaner and Doug Jones’ amphibious hum anoid hybrid resulted in fou r Oscars in all, includ ing Best Picture and Best Dir ector, and is widely consid ered to be Guillermo’s cro wning achievement.

NO REST FOR THE WICKED Kenneth Branagh brings Poirot back to the big screen, this time swapping train carriage for cruise liner in the star-studded sequel to Murder On The Orient Express. WORDS AARON POTTER IN CINEMAS 11 FEBRUARY

Director Kenneth Branagh / Starring Kenneth Branagh, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Emma Mackey, Dawn French / Genre Crime, Drama, Mystery As teased in the final moments of 2017’s Murder On The Orient Express, literature’s most famous moustachioed detective is returning to cinemas for a new adaptation of Death On The Nile.

Marking the third onscreen interpretation of Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery, this modern incarnation promises a steamy affair set on a riverboat and brings yet another star-studded cast of talent on board.

Heading up the guest list is, of course, actor-director Kenneth Branagh, who this time welcomes Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot,

Black Panther’s Letitia Wright, and comedian Russell Brand along for a twist-filled ride. The list goes on as Annette Bening, Tom Bateman, Armie Hammer, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Rose Leslie, and Sophie Okonedo round out another stellar ensemble.

Together they make up the shadowy line-up of suspects Poirot must assess, analyse, and interrogate after a wealthy heiress is found dead.

This modern version of Death On The Nile breathes new life into one of Agatha Christie’s most celebrated whodunnits, seamlessly merging practical sets and CGI effects to sweep audiences away to a period-accurate 1930s Cairo.

Everyone is a suspect once more as Poirot quickly learns there’s no such thing as a holiday for the world’s greatest detective.

Bryan Singer’s neo-noir classic wowed critics upon release with its expert use of flashbacks and narration. The final reveal of Keyser Soze’s identity remains one of cinema’s most shocking twists.

THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS In only the second year of his crime fighting career and with violence, vigilantism, and vengeance on his mind…Robert Pattinson emerges from the shadows as The Batman. WORDS ROBB SHEPPARD IN CINEMAS MARCH 4

Director Matt Reeves / Starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano / Genre Action, Crime, Thriller There’s no such thing as too much Batman. Just when you think you’ve seen it all from Gotham’s great detective, a fresh new take swoops into cinemas to remind you why he’s the coolest crimefighter around.

And that’s exactly what Matt Reeves’ menacing The Batman promises to do.

The tone is set from the moment we first meet Robert Pattinson’s brooding Bruce Wayne. With none-more-black backdrops, brutal beatdowns, and a grunge soundtrack, this will be the darkest Dark Knight yet. And that’s little wonder as this tortured iteration of the character is also the most stripped back, and follows the grief torn, novice vigilante as he contends with Paul Dano’s enigmatic Edward Nashton, Zoë

THE BATMAN ▼ CLICK ME ▼

Kravitz’ cunning Selina Kyle, and an unrecognisable Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot.

Fresh from his Planet Of The Apes trilogy, writer and director Matt Reeves returns with a proven track record of carrying the weight of a franchise with over fifty years of onscreen history and assembles a star-studded ensemble cast and an exciting creative team to bring the heroes and villains of Gotham to life like never before. Most exciting of all is Oscar-winner Michael Giacchino who supplies an ear-shattering score that’s sure to rival previous Batcomposers Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, and Neal Hefti.

With its bold new take on the beloved character, Pattinson’s caped crusader is sure to be both the hero we need…and the hero we deserve.

Being The Bat ROBERT PATTINSON

Focusing less on physique and more on psychology, this Bruce Wayne dials down the billionaire bad boy act.

Instead, with all that spare time, he delves into the corruption at the heart of Gotham which may involve his own family.

WILL ARNETT

The LEGO Batman Movie pokes fun at every inch of the Bat-verse, including Mr Wayne. Arnett’s Bruce Wayne is a self-proclaimed “bon vivant, gallivanter, playboy…

Gotham’s most eligible batchelor, like, 90 years in a row!”

He’s also a whole lot of fun.

MICHAEL KEATON

Keaton’s eccentric, unassuming take on Bruce Wayne is the furthest from his alter ego yet, but as we found out in Tim Burton’s Batman, he could still get nuts. Keaton will don the cowl again in The Flash, coming to cinemas soon.

January / February 2022

If the ensemble are going to get their shot at stardom, they’ll need to impress music mogul Jimmy Crystal – a no-nonsense wolf who’s just like Simon Cowell, but with a bite as bad as his bark. It’s here that they’ll turn to a real legend, Bono’s Clay Calloway, a solitary lion who’s not performed for over fifteen years.

Buster’s quest to convince Clay to come out of retirement, while also helping his old stars shine brighter than ever in the face of new demons, promises to be another spectacle full of Illumination’s trademark heart and humour. This tale about the healing power of music will unite animals of all kinds (and humans of all ages) while ensuring families in need of entertainment find what they’re looking for.

WHO HAS THE X FACTOR? Bono is Clay Calloway The Irish rock legend and U2 return with new music.

Though reluctant to return to the limelight, it’s hard to argue against this roaring rock ‘n’ roll performer.

Tori Kelly is Meena This elephant has the classic X Factor story: initially too shy to perform before conquering her fears. She’ll be tested more than ever as a larger audience awaits.

Scarlett Johansson is Ash If rock is more your thing, maybe this spiky porcupine will steal the show this time around. Her and Clay’s A Star Is Born-style cover of a U2 classic is pure singalong territory.

Taron Egerton is Johnny He had audiences off their seats with a rousing rendition of I’m Still Standing, now the go-getting gorilla is adding dancing to his repertoire for the brandnew show – but only if he can impress his cruel choreographer.

GREATNESS FROM SMALL BEGINNINGS After multiple director swaps and several years in development, PlayStation Productions charts a course for Hollywood success with a bigscreen adaptation of its popular Uncharted video game series. WORDS AARON POTTER IN CINEMAS 11 FEBRUARY

Director Ruben Fleischer / Starring Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Sophia Ali, Antonio Banderas / Genre Action, Adventure, Thriller Falling out of a plane? Chased by villainous thugs? It’s just another day in the life of renowned treasure hunter Nathan Drake, here played in a younger capacity by SpiderMan star Tom Holland. He’s joined on his epic journey to find an ancient artefact by Mark Wahlberg’s Victor Sullivan and Sophia Ali’s Chloe Frazer, in an origin story of sorts that promises to capture the same swashbuckling feel of 1930s adventure serials.

PlayStation’s wildly popular Uncharted franchise comes to cinemas for the first time and marks

the start of a totally new venture for the veteran game publisher. Players familiar with Uncharted’s efforts on PS3 and PS4 won’t suffer from déjà vu, though, as the movie remixes story elements and spectacular set pieces from the games to create an all-new story suitable for a multigenerational audience.

Hot on Holland’s tail throughout the movie is Antonio Banderas’ ruthless villain, warming up his globetrotting boots before his upcoming appearance in Indiana Jones 5. His inclusion, and developer Naughty Dog’s seal of approval, combine with a strong sense of adventure to ensure this buccaneering blockbuster sets a firm foundation to launch a potential Uncharted movie trilogy.

MODERN GAME TO FILM ADAPTATIONS Assassin’s Creed

Even Michael Fassbender’s star power couldn’t save this take on Ubisoft’s open-world stealth series from being a bit of a stinker. The action sequences set in history were well choreographed, but a focus on present-day events led Assassin’s Creed wayward.

Tomb Raider

While Angelina Jolie’s tenure as Lara Croft is now somewhat dated, 2018’s hard reboot with Alicia Vikander showed the promise of what a modern Tomb Raider movie could be. Grittier, more grounded, and with exciting set pieces, a sequel is on the way.

Mortal Kombat

A Mortal Kombat movie with no Mortal Kombat tournament? 2021’s reinterpretation of NetherRealm’s classic fighter might lack the campiness of the 1995 original, but more than made up for it with visceral non-stop action and wallto-wall fights – particularly those featuring Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES The stakes are high as the Allies attempt an audacious deception to trick the enemy and turn the tide of World War 2, but will they believe the story of a dead man? WORDS ADAM MATULEWICZ IN CINEMAS 14 JANUARY

Director John Madden / Starring Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Johnny Flynn / Genre Drama, War Ahead of their strike on the shores of Sicily in 1943, the Allies had one major concern: the Nazis knew they were coming. To throw the odds in their favour, the only thing for it was to deceive the minds behind the greatest threat the world had ever seen.

Colin Firth is intelligence officer Ewen Montagu in the retelling of this extraordinary story that shows a different side of war. With one hundred thousand British lives on the line, and the prospect of more should they fail, Montagu and his fellow officer Charles Cholmondeley, played

by Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen, must take the fight to the shadows.

But instead of boats and guns, they’re armed with a corpse and false papers.

OPERATION MINCEMEAT 20

January / February 2022

Their plan is to obtain a dead body, dress it up as a British soldier, plant “top secret” documents on it, and float it into enemy territory so they will take the bait and believe Greece is the intended target, not Sicily.

With perhaps the most important mission of the Second World War on their shoulders, and no guarantee of success, Montagu and Cholmondeley have their work cut out with Jason Isaacs’ Admiral John Godfrey to convince, Simon Russell Beale’s Winston Churchill to please, and many lives at risk.

Director John Madden sheds a light on the shady side of the Second World War with a stranger-than-fiction spy story with a license for thrills, tension, surprises and even some romance along the way.

Operation Mincemeat must not fail!

NO TIME TO DIE Operation Mincemeat required great minds to make it work and had to be expertly written. From working with the country’s best spies to writing about everyone’s fictional favourite, Operation Mincemeat owes its success to the man who wrote the mission plans in the first place: Lieutenant Commander Ian Fleming. Operation Mincemeat reveals his role in the extraordinary story, with Johnny Flynn starring.

After the war, Fleming introduced the world to his deadliest weapon yet: a fictional intelligence MI6 agent best known as Bond, James Bond. Based on individuals he met during his military days, 007 has heroically saved the world many times over. Only last year did he arguably save cinema with the release of No Time To Die; a lifeline for the industry with a record-breaking British box-office return.

WORDS ROBB SHEPPARD IN CINEMAS 21 JANUARY

Director Kenneth Branagh / Starring Jude Hill, Jamie Dornan, Caitriona Balfe, Judi Dench / Genre Drama Written and directed by Kenneth Branagh, the semi-autobiographical story follows a young boy named Buddy and his working-class family as they struggle to navigate life in a community that’s destabilising around them.

But Belfast isn’t all about escalating tension, it’s about humanity during times of turmoil. There are moments of joy, acts of bravery, and journeys of self-discovery in an inspiring story evocative of Life Is Beautiful, Billy Elliot, and Jojo Rabbit. The bleakness of sixties Belfast is contrasted by a

beautiful black and white aesthetic and a soundtrack that’s a treat for the ears too.

To bring his coming-of-age story to cinemas, Branagh assembles an all-star cast. Caitriona Balfe continues her rise as Ma, Jamie Dornan returns to his Northern Irish roots as Pa, Ciarán Hinds steps in as the grandfather everybody would want, and, of course, Judi Dench needs very little introduction as Granny.

However, the entire film rests on the shoulders of newcomer Jude Hill who stars as Buddy. Through this spirited nine-year-old, we experience life growing up in the swinging sixties, The Troubles, and family friction in a poignant film that’s sure to garner attention this awards season.

Unable to stop him alone, he entrusts Magizoologist Newt Scamander to lead an intrepid team of wizards, witches, and one brave Muggle baker on a dangerous mission where they encounter old and new beasts and clash with Grindelwald’s growing legion of followers. But with the stakes so high, how long can Dumbledore remain on the sidelines? Return to the wizarding world for the next chapter in the Fantastic Beasts story that brings back many of the characters you know and love, such as Eddie Redmayne’s Newt Scamander, Jude Law’s Albus Dumbledore, Ezra Miller’s Credence, Alison Sudol’s Queenie, Dan Fogler’s Jacob, and Katherine Waterston’s Tina.

After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is ready for more freedom, and Tom and Maddie reluctantly agree to leave him home while they go on holiday. But, no sooner are they gone, when Dr Robotnik comes back, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to both build and destroy civilisations. Sonic teams up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands.

Mei Lee is a dorky, confident, and seemingly ordinary thirteen-year-old who yearns for independence, yet strives to remain a dutiful daughter to her protective, if a little slightly overbearing mother. But what makes Mei different to any other teen is that whenever she gets too excited – which is practically ALWAYS – she suddenly “poofs” into a giant red panda. From the director of the Oscar-winning Pixar short, Bao, comes a different beast of a coming-of-age story.

In partnership with the House of Dior, this new adaptation of Paul Gallico’s beloved 1956 novella stars Lesley Manville, Isabelle Huppert, Jason Isaacs, Lambert Wilson, Alba Baptista, Lucas Bravo, and Rose Williams.

Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, and Joel Edgerton lead an ensemble cast in Ron Howard’s retelling of the Tham Luang cave rescue in 2018. Based on the inspiring true story, the film chronicles the events as twelve boys and their football coach became trapped in a flooded, impenetrable cave system.

The world watched as Thai families, the government, and the local community of farmers and neighbours came together alongside volunteers from around the world to mount an incredible rescue effort that made headlines around the world.

A young couple, Maya and Jamie, are seeking to escape from their urban nightmare and swap London for the tranquillity of rural Ireland. Soon after arriving, they discover that malevolent, murderous goblins lurk in the gnarled, ancient wood at the foot of their new home. When heavily-pregnant Maya’s relationship with locals turns sour, who – or what – will come to her rescue and what extremes will she go to to protect her unborn child?
