Redemption of a Rogue will be released in cinemas by Wildcard Distribution on Friday 27th August. Paper Tiger The Paper Tiger trailer suggests a searing, deeply moving examination of ambition, guilt, and the toxic pursuit of the American Dream. Ink The newly dropped trailer for Ink confirms those expectations, delivering a relentless, kinetic glimpse into Fleet Street's most disruptive era. The Social Reckoning Seeing the first teaser trailer drop for its spiritual companion piece, The Social Reckoning, sent an absolute chill down my spine. Focker-in-Law If the film can sustain the frantic, competitive energy displayed in this preview, Focker-In-Law might just be the rarest of cinematic beasts: a comedy sequel that actually manages to justify its own existence. We are officially on high alert. Heart of the Beast Heart of the Beast looks like a gripping, tear-jerking cinematic triumph that will resonate with action fans and animal lovers alike. We will definitely be front and centre with our popcorn when this one hits the big screen! Klara and the Sun Klara and the Sun looks like a heart-wrenching, beautifully acted triumph that will linger in the mind long after the curtains close. Power Ballad What has us incredibly excited about Power Ballad is the dynamic friction between its two leads. Paul Rudd seems perfectly cast as the rugged, everyday musician who just wanted a shot at the big time, acknowledging with a heavy heart that having his name on a song of that magnitude would have completely changed his life. The Debut UK Film Review hasn't yet seen the final curtain rise on this one, but if the film matches the sheer dramatic potency of its trailer, The Debut is set to be a staggering, must-see cinematic triumph. One Night Only One Night Only looks to be a sharp, subversively funny, and emotionally resonant look at how we connect when time is running out. It takes a wild, satirical premise and uses it to explore a timeless question: Who would you choose if you only had one night? Supergirl As we look toward the 2026 release, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow stands as a testament to the new direction of DC Studios. Masters of the Universe With the arrival of the first trailer for the 2026 reboot of Masters of the Universe, the cinematic landscape prepares for a collision of sword, sorcery, and surprisingly, suburban Earth. Wild Foxes Dune: Part Three Picking up roughly seventeen years after the seismic events of Part Two, the trailer immediately signals a shift in tone. While the first film was an act of world-building and the second a visceral war epic, Dune: Part Three—an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah—looks to be a far more claustrophobic and tense affair. In The Grey Scary Movie 6 The horror-comedy world is officially being turned upside down as the first trailer for Scary Movie 6 has finally arrived, marking a monumental return for the franchise that defined a generation of parody cinema. Empire of Lies Empire of Lies arrives in UK cinemas and on digital platforms on 27th March. Undertone Undertone is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Friday, March 13th, 2025. If the trailer is anything to go by, we suggest you keep the lights on and perhaps think twice before pressing play on your next favourite podcast. The Moment The Land of Sometimes Twins Alfie and Elise find a magical Wish Watch on Christmas Eve and are swept by the Wish Collector into the musical Land of Sometimes, where they learn that wishes have consequences. Avengers: Doomsday Fans are elated at the release of the first teaser trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Set for a theatrical release on 18th December 2026, find out more here.

Check out the trailer for 101 Films' First Date.. Brand new film trailers. First Date 101 Films Releases First Date Trailer Put on your best garms and buckle up for a First Date to remember. This rip-roaring date night caper takes an unexpectedly wild and weird wrong turn, when a teenager tries to impress the girl of his dreams but ends up attracting more than his fair share of unwanted attention. This Tarantino-esque, crime comedy adventure made the official Sundance 2021 selection and is now set to arrive on UK digital 17 January from 101 Films . Shy high schooler Mike (Tyson Brown ) finally summons the courage to ask out his badass neighbour Kelsey (Shelby Duclos ) only to realise he’s missing a key element for a successful date – a car. Panicked and low on cash, he’s conned into buying a beat up ‘65 Chrysler. Mike's plan to win over Kelsey soon turns into a surreal misadventure when they are they find themselves at the mercy of two cops, a criminal gang, and a vengeful cat lady. A night fuelled by desire, bullets, and burning rubber makes any other first date seem like a walk in the park. In this perfectly executed throwback thrill ride, directing duo Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp deftly weave together elements of dark comedy, teen romance, shoot 'em up action and classic coming-of-age story, creating a truly entertaining ride that never misses a beat. This refreshing mix of tones, coupled with a break-out performance from Tyson Brown as Mike, make First Date a truly outstanding first feature. Forget Fred Sirieix for your matchmaking needs, this First Date will be love and laughs at first watch.

It introduces the audience to a violent and disturbed individual and listening to his story is chilling, primarily due to Jegathesan's performance.

Trigger Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW London is wonderfully realised – even from the back of a cab – by high-quality production and inventive visual storytelling. The lights of the city giving way to the unlit suburbs marks for a telling tonal shift, as the story literally and figuratively gets darker. The positioning of the camera in the early scenes gives the impression that the viewers are sat opposite the women in the cab, bringing the audience into their situation effectively.

There’s an old African proverb: Until the story of the hunt is told by the Lion the tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter. The importance of telling a diversity of stories, and telling them well, cannot be under-estimated. I Will Tell is an international film festival that celebrates filmmakers from around the world who bring us powerful, authentic stories that would otherwise be hidden, forgotten or ignored. More than 60 films from over 30 countries that will inspire, entertain and challenge. For filmmakers, and film lovers alike, a festival such as I Will Tell is as refreshing as a splash of cool water on a hot day. This year, for the first time, the festival will be hosted online which means many more people can join in from the comfort of their own home. Screenings will be followed by a Live Interactive Q&A with the Directors. And you can get 30% off the Festival Pass with your special code UKFR30. The Jury includes Hollywood Script doctor Bart Gavigan (Luther), BAFTA winner Dionne Walker (the Hard Stop), Actor and producer Oris Erhuero (Highlander, Endgame), that rare breed – a black female animator - Maria Birmingham and more. The films address race issues such as police brutality, beauty, identity, family and the justice system as well as modern-day social disconnectedness, education, migration, abuse, the environment, faith and more.

Hollow Listen to our review on the film podcast What our film review said: READ FULL REVIEW The main subject here is one's desire to get even. The film suggests that the idea of revenge will not bring peace, but will instead create more suffering for those who pursue it. This is not a pleasant viewing, but it is a powerful story, with strong emotions and deserves a lot of praise. Proudly supporting MediCinema for our 2022 film festival.
