New Films
One of the biggest announcements includes Frankenstein, a long-awaited passion project from Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro. Having envisioned this film for 50 years, del Toro shared, “Over the decades, the character has fused with my soul in a way that it has become autobiography. It doesn’t get more personal than this.”
Another standout film is RIP, a crime thriller starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Affleck described the movie as “a really fun, engaging ride that keeps you guessing.”
Fans will also be happy that Detective Benoit Blanc is back in Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the highly anticipated third installment in Rian Johnson’s hit whodunit series. Set to premiere globally on Netflix in Fall 2025, the film follows Blanc as he takes on his most dangerous case yet. With an all-star cast—including Daniel Craig, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, and Mila Kunis—this mystery promises twists, deception, and high-stakes intrigue. Johnson, who writes and directs, reunites with longtime collaborator Ram Bergman to produce another sharp and thrilling detective tale.
