Dune: Messiah picks up the epic saga of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet), now known—and feared—as Muad’Dib. As Emperor of the known universe, Paul wields more power than any one man was ever meant to hold. Revered as a messianic figure by the fanatical Fremen, he must navigate the mounting hostility of the political houses he overthrew—and a growing conspiracy taking root within his own inner circle.
2. Ruin
Set amid the ruins of post–World War II Germany, the film will follow a recently released concentration camp survivor (Gal Gadot) who forms an unlikely alliance with a former German soldier (Matthias Schoenaerts, pictured above) as they embark on a shared mission of vengeance against the latter’s former Nazi SS Death squad.

3. Reminders of Him
Reminders of Him stars It Follows breakout Maika Monroe as Kenna, a young woman returning to her hometown after serving a five-year prison sentence—desperate to reconnect with the daughter she’s never known. While the premise hints at heartbreak, the film is already being positioned as next Valentine’s Day’s breakout romance. But for Kenna, the road to redemption is anything but easy. Everyone close to her daughter seems determined to shut her out—except for Ledger Ward, a local bar owner who sees something in her worth fighting for. As sparks ignite between Kenna and Ledger, they’ll have to confront buried wounds and the consequences of their choices, risking everything for a second chance at love—and a future neither thought possible.
4. The Mark
Jessica Alba stars as Eden, a mysterious operative on a covert mission with global stakes. When she entangles unsuspecting single father Ben Dawson in her dangerous world of espionage, his ordinary life is turned inside out. Mistaken for a legendary assassin, Ben becomes the perfect decoy—but as the stakes rise, he’ll have to decide if he’s in over his head or ready to play the part.
5. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping
The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping returns to the world of Panem, set 24 years before Katniss Everdeen’s story begins. The film opens on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games—the infamous Second Quarter Quell—and follows a young Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) as he’s thrust into a brutal arena that will shape him into the haunted mentor fans came to know.
6. Highlander
This reboot of one of my favorite childhood franchises will breathe new life into the legend of Connor MacLeod—an immortal Scottish swordsman, now played by Henry Cavill. As he battles through centuries of secrecy and swordplay, Connor must face a brutal, ancient warrior—the last of his kind—driven by bloodlust and a hunger for the legendary Prize. The stakes? Nothing less than ultimate power—and survival.
7. Single White Female
The 1992 psychological thriller is getting a modern remake, with Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell stepping into the iconic roles originally played by Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh. When New York City software designer Allison “Allie” Jones seeks a roommate after catching her fiancé cheating, she finds more than just a tenant—she finds Hedy, and with her, a descent into obsession and danger.
