1. Michael — The King of Pop Finally Gets His Story Told

Decades after his music changed the world, Michael Jackson is the subject of one of the most anticipated biopics in Hollywood history. Michael traces his entire journey — from his early years as part of the Jackson 5 through his meteoric solo career that redefined global pop culture for generations.

What makes this film truly remarkable is the casting: Jaafar Jackson, Michael’s own nephew, steps into the iconic role — bringing a genuine familial connection and resemblance that no outside actor could match. Colman Domingo co-stars, and early behind-the-scenes reactions have called the film’s lead performance an extraordinary piece of acting with rare alchemy between the actor and the real-life person he portrays. If you’ve ever felt the magic of Thriller, Billie Jean, or Beat It, this is the film you’ve been waiting your whole life to see.

2. Fuze — A WWII Bomb, a City Evacuated & the Perfect Heist

Set in contemporary London, Fuze unfolds after an unexploded World War II bomb is unearthed at a busy Paddington construction site, forcing a massive citywide evacuation. Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays a bomb disposal expert racing to prevent catastrophe — but the widespread chaos quietly becomes the perfect cover for a meticulously planned criminal heist. 99.1 The Bull

Theo James and Sam Worthington appear connected to the elaborate scheme, alongside Gugu Mbatha-Raw in a strong ensemble cast. 99.1 The Bull Directed by David Mackenzie — the man behind Hell or High Water — a Deadline critic called it an “exquisitely plotted piece of pulp” and a “surprisingly sophisticated exercise in misdirection.” Deadline On Rotten Tomatoes, 78% of critics’ reviews are currently positive.
