Twisters
Twenty years ago, scientists collected data to prevent the deadly risk of destructive tornadoes, saving thousands of lives in the process. But while science wallows in complacency, nature continues to evolve…and tornadoes become more deadly.
Released in 1996, the first film Twister is still one of the best disaster films. This spiritual sequel directed by Lee Isaac Chung (the sublime Minari) returns with an ecological discourse that is more current than ever, even more impressive scenes and a new cast of sympathetic actors led by Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) and Glenn Powell (Top Gun: Maverick). In theaters July 17, 2024.

The Fall Guy
Colt Seavers, a disillusioned Hollywood stuntman, is propelled into a perilous mission where he must find a missing star, foil a plot and win the love of his life.
More than ten years later DriveRyan Gosling stars as a movie stuntman again in the action comedy The Fall Guy. A film the opposite of that of Nicolas Winding Refn, which promises to be the “roller coaster film” of 2024: second degree, spectacular scenes, freewheeling actors and fun. All this helmed by David Leitch, director of John Wick And Bullet Train. In theaters May 1, 2024.

Monkey Man
Just released from a prison in India, a man finds himself in a cruel world, in which he is no longer able to adapt. He is determined to take revenge on those who took everything from him.
Actor Dev Patel’s first feature film (Lion, The Green Knight, Slumdog Millionaire), Monkey Man promises to be a brutal and hair-raising proposition. The icing on the cake is that the film is produced by Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us, Nope) and the brilliant A24 studio. Only safe values. In theaters April 17, 2024.

Ryan Reynolds is not just Deadpool in 2024. He also takes care of saving our imaginary friends, in this new film written and directed by John Krasinski (Without a sound).
