They discuss everything from imminent releases, like Send Help and Emerald Fennell’s bold Wuthering Heights adaptation; to blockbuster sequels and adaptations, like Shrek 5, Dune: Part III, and Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey. Curious to learn about what could be potential 2027 Oscar bound films—ahem, The Social Network sequel! Ruben Östund takes to the skies with a mega cast! Tune in for more info on these movies, dates for current awards season players with expanded releases and more!
