The Substance, Mufasa: The Lion King, Woman of the Hour, LotR: The War of the Rohirrim, My Old Ass
The Substance HD1080p 25MB
Body-horror satire in which Hollywood actress-cum-TV exercise impresario Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore), desperate to secure her fading celebrity status, undergoes a black-market medical procedure that promises self-actualization, but culminates in the spawning of Sue (Margaret Qualley), a bold and brash clone of her younger self that perpetuates its existence via weekly spinal taps. The pair are warned to respect their new symbiotic relationship or risk corrosive consequences. But as Sue starts reserving more time in the limelight at the behest of a slimeball executive (Dennis Quaid) and her own growing ambition, Sparkle is soon faced with an existential threat.
Won the Best Screenplay Award earlier this year in Cannes.
Mufasa: The Lion King HD720p 37MB
Full trailer for the latest live-action CGI mix from Disney, extending one of their properties, to be in theatres at Christmas. Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, the movie enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka - the heir to a royal bloodline. Voices will be provided by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Kagiso Lediga, Preston Nyman, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Anika Noni Rose, Keith David, John Kani, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, Donald Glover, Blue Ivy Carter and Beyonce Knowles-Carter. Maybe the most interesting part, it's directed by Barry Jenkins (Moonlight, Medicine for Melancholy, If Beale Street Could Talk).
An earlier teaser: HD720p 22MB.
Woman of the Hour HD1080p 11MB
Thriller drama set in the 1970s based on the stranger-than-fiction story of Rodney Alcala (Daniel Zovatto) who went on a murder spree, luring women by posing as a photographer looking for models. Though already a registered sex offender and recently released from prison, he infamously appeared on "The Dating Game". Anna Kendrick and Tony Hale are also part of the cast. It's also the directorial debut of Kendrick who uses the story for an examination of the distressing dynamics of gender.
Received very favourable festival reviews. I haven't seen a release date yet. But Netflix bought the distribution rights.
The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim HD720p 36MB
The attempt to extend the LotR brand to anime. Set 183 years before the events chronicled in the original trilogy of films, it tells the fate of the House of Helm Hammerhand (Brian Cox), the legendary King of Rohan. A sudden attack by Wulf, a clever and ruthless Dunlending lord seeking vengeance for the death of his father, forces Helm and his people to make a daring last stand in the ancient stronghold of the Hornburg - a mighty fortress that will later come to be known as Helm’s Deep. Miranda Otto lends her voice to Éowyn. Directed by Japanese Kenji Kamiyama.
Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are involved as producers. Still surprised to see this will have a global theatrical release in December.
My Old Ass HD720p 33MB
Comedic coming-of-age drama in which an 18th birthday mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott (Maisy Stella) face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza). But when Elliott’s “old ass” starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn’t do, she realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what’s becoming a transformative summer.
I don't quite see it from the trailer, but festival reviews are very favourable.
