While the film’s ruthless producer manoeuvres to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying –with limited success – to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will soon find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall far more dangerous than any stunt he’s ever performed.

Inside Out 2

IN CINEMAS 14 JUNE

Director Kelsey Mann / Starring Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Maya Hawke / Genre Animation, Adventure, Fantasy

Who could forget Joy’s journey from Long-Term Memory, through the Subconscious, Goofball Island, and Dream Productions, and aboard the Train of Thought with Bing Bong to get Sadness back to the command console in eleven-year-old Riley Andersen’s head? Through their trademark imaginative, fun, and beautifully animated storytelling, Pixar’s Inside Out teaches us the value of all emotions and the key part they play in the adventure of life.

Since then, Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust have kept things relatively in check at Headquarters, but that’s about to change in a sequel that takes things to a whole new level.

Riley, now thirteen, faces the ups and downs of puberty as

well as school pressure, evolving relationships, possible first love, and other huge changes on the outside that have a drastic impact on things inside.

A new chapter in life brings allnew Emotions to the mix as the core Emotions must evolve beyond their originally limited boxes and contend with Anxiety, Embarrassment, Envy, and Ennui in the battle to balance Riley’s being.

joy

Amy Poehler’s persistently-optimistic leader will need to collaborate with new and often negative Emotions inside Riley’s growing brain.

sadness

Life isn’t always fun, but The Office star Phyllis Smith’s soothing voice will help Riley through the serious and sensitive times.

fear

The voice of Toy Story 4’s Forky, Tony Hale, is the Emotion who’s more important than ever as Riley struggles to forge her identity in an increasingly complex world.

disgust anger

anxiety

Maya Hawke’s frazzled Emotion arrives with lots of baggage, plus Paul Walter Hauser’s Embarrassment, Adèle Exarchopolous’ Ennui, and Ayo Edebiri’s Envy close behind.

Lewis Black is back in the role of the Emotion who always has something to say.

Liza Lapira replaces Mindy Kaling, but she’ll make sure standards stay high.

Re-enter the orbit of the Planet Of The Apes with an epic new chapter that sees a courageous new ape hero rise up against a tyrant to help humanity fight for a place among the primates.

Kingdom Of The Planets Of The Apes

IN CINEMAS 9 MAY

Director Wes Ball / Starring Owen Teague, Freya Allen, Kevin Durand / Genre Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

Three hundred years after the death of Caesar. Apes hunt humans for sport. Apes keep humans as slaves. Apes rule the world.

A bright-eyed young chimpanzee, Noa, senses something’s not right and sets out to bring some balance to this new natural order. However, tyrant bonobo leader Proximus only wants more oppression, even turning on his own kind and experimenting on captured humans in a chilling reversal of our animal testing reality and the distressing scenes that started this film series.

Wes Ball, director of The Maze Runner trilogy, reignites the franchise with a bold new vision that stands

alone from the recent film trio, yet remains connected to it and furthers its legacy. Expect more jaw-dropping visual effects, striking cinematography, and another beautifully-composed score in a cinematic world that’s still ripe for more big screen battles and adventures. The exciting new cast includes Kevin Durand, Freya Allen, William H. Macy, Peter Macon, and a new lead. As Noa, Owen Teague was mentored by motion-capture pioneer Andy Serkis – who wowed audiences as Caesar – to create a compelling new ape messiah.

In a world where apes are the dominant species, it’s Noa’s compassion, curiosity, and unlikely companionship with captive human, Mae, that enables him to dream of a more inclusive world. Together, ape and human must work together to take down Proximus and lead the fight for freedom.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

A young chimp named Caesar suffers cruelty while used as testing for a drug meant to cure Alzheimer’s in humans. Gaining incredible intelligence, he leads his fellow apes in an escape from captivity.

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

Ten years later, Simian Flu has wiped out most of humanity and Caesar’s apes have grown in power. Vengeful ape Koba leads a coup against Caesar in a bid to raise an army to eradicate humankind forever.

Michael Bay hasn’t been at the helm since Bad Boys II, but returning Bad Boys For Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah ensure the Bad Boys still bring their particular brand of Bayhem with their trademark blend of insane, blood-pumping action and outrageous buddy comedy antics.

But it’s not been all plain sailing. Near-death experiences, Mike’s on/off relationship with Marcus’s sister, and Marcus’s struggles with mind, body, and soul… they’ve stuck together through it all.

Return to the Fury Road in an anarchic prequel where Anya Taylor-Joy buckles up for a wild ride that reveals the origins of the wasteland’s most badass warrior.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Director George Miller / Starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Alyla Browne, Tom Burke / Genre Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Thriller

Mad Max: Fury Road remains one of the most celebrated action movies of the twenty-first century, lauded for its incredible stunts, practical effects, gorgeous visuals, and pulse-pounding soundtrack. Acclaimed filmmaker George Miller returns to this postapocalyptic wasteland of his own creation once again – this time in a prequel set years before the events of Fury Road. Winding the clock back means introducing a new cast, new characters, and new, unexplored corners of a world rife with madness.

Anya Taylor-Joy is in the driver’s seat this time, stepping into the titular role immortalised by Charlize Theron.

Furiosa’s journey begins when she’s snatched away from the idyllic Green Place and forced into the clutches of Chris Hemsworth’s Warlord Dementus, who chews the gritty scenery in a role with all the charm and look of Thor, but with heroism swapped for gleeful villainy.

Furiosa’s odyssey to get back to her family takes place across fifteen years and is stacked full of vehicular mayhem and explosions galore.

Although a prequel, Furiosa promises to deliver our best look at the Mad Max universe yet, ironically in the absence of the iconic antihero, though he’s definitely somewhere in the expansive background. This Mad Max Saga is sure to light up cinemas just as much as its predecessor as it goes full throttle in delivering more chaotic, genre-defining action.

Last year, Evil Dead Rise taught us to never recite passages from mysterious books and Talk To Me saw teens pay the ultimate price for taking a party game too far. Now, a group of college friends find their fate in a deck of cards after recklessly violating the rules of tarot.

Soon learning that you must never use someone else’s deck, the friends face the wrath of a strange, supernatural entity. As an evil curse starts picking them off one by one in ways that relate back to their readings, they must join forces and work together to solve the mystery before time runs out for them all.

Avantika, most recently seen as Karen in Mean Girls, and Jacob Batalon, you’ll know as Spider-Man’s bestie Ned, are the most notable

names in a cast of up-andcoming stars including Harriet Slater, Adain Bradley, and Larsen Thompson. They’re joined by Olwen Fouèrè, who returns to horror following her role in Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Drag Me To Hell

When loan officer Christine Brown refuses to provide an extension on a loan, an elderly lady gets her revenge by placing the Lamia curse on her life until Christine is dragged to hell.

Horror has seen its fair share of evil curses that connect to the afterlife.

Tarot is the latest supernatural horror from Screen Gems, who helmed Deliver Us From Evil, The Unholy, and The Invitation. With an exciting young cast largely making their mainstream horror debuts and writing duo Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg as first-time directors, it’s hard to know exactly what’s on the cards… but it’s sure to be scary.

The sixties was the golden age for motorcycle riders, making it the perfect backdrop for this furious tale. Headstrong Kathy recounts her time as a member of the Vandals and the reckless evolution of the club. Amongst this grease-covered crew, she meets her husband, Benny, a rebellious rider who lives for the rumbling of bikes and the respect of their unfaltering leader, Johnny.

Kathy wrestles to tame Benny’s wild nature as she watches him get sucked into a more sinister and

dangerous side of Johnny’s gang. Jeff Nichols’ ode to the sixties subculture of bikeriders takes a turn from Easy Rider to Goodfellas, leaving the characters at a crossroads as they make choices about their loyalty to the Vandals.

Expect an acting masterclass all round as Jodie Comer’s Kathy tells the tale in a flawless Midwestern accent. Austin Butler swaps his blue suede shoes for bike leathers for a smouldering performance reminiscent of James Dean, while Tom Hardy has the air of a Marlon Brando, leading this revved-up pack as Johnny. We can’t wait for this trio to don their leathers and speed into view.

The Great Escape

It doesn’t get much more iconic than Steve McQueen attempting to evade Nazi capture by launching a bike into a sixty-foot jump. Although he gets snagged on barbed wire, it remains one of the coolest motorbike scenes in cinema history.

Easy Rider

Arguably the ultimate motorbike film. Peter Fonda’s Wyatt and Dennis Hoppers’ Billy set the pace for making motorbike culture cool as they ride across America. These freewheeling bad boys became icons of nonconformity.

Mission: Impossible

In classic Tom Cruise fashion, Ethan Hunt keeps his cool while riding his bike at pulse- racing speeds into oncoming traffic. No stranger to motorbike chases or stunts, he wields the roaring engine to get out of the trickiest spots.
