A
s teased in the final moments of 2017’s Murder On The Orient Express, this October sees literature’s most famous moustachioed detective return to cinemas in a new adaptation of Death On The Nile. Marking the third onscreen interpretation of Agatha Christie’s classic murder mystery, this modern incarnation promises a steamy affair set on a riverboat and brings yet another star-studded cast of talent on board. Heading up the guest list is, of course, actor-director Kenneth Branagh, who this time welcomes Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot, Black Panther’s Letitia Wright, and comedian Russell Brand along for a twist-filled ride. The list goes on as Annette Bening, Tom Bateman, Armie Hammer, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Rose Leslie, and Sophie Okonedo round out another stellar ensemble. Together they make up the shadowy line-up of suspects Poirot must assess, analyse, and interrogate after a wealthy heiress is found dead. This modern version of Death On The Nile breathes new life into one of Agatha Christie’s most celebrated whodunnits, seamlessly merging practical sets and CGI effects to sweep audiences away to a period-accurate 1930s Cairo. Everyone is a suspect once more as Poirot quickly learns there’s no such thing as a holiday for the world’s greatest detective.

who somehow transforms herself into the Cheetah; a cat-like villain who’s not only tough enough to wrestle with Wonder Woman, but much more ferocious! But that’s not all - there’s also the small matter of her lost love Steve Trevor who has somehow returned. Wonder Woman became the highestgrossing female-led superhero movie of all-time, so fans will be thrilled to see director Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot reuniting for the hotly-anticipated sequel. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, Kristen Wiig, and Chris Pine, Wonder Woman 1984 promises to deliver all of the heart and charm from their first outing but on a much larger, and much more action-packed scale. While the main narrative remains semi stasis, the DCEU standalone projects continue to enjoy critical and commercial success. Following the award-winning Joker and brilliantly bonkers Birds Of Prey, and plenty of excitement on the horizon, for the first time in a long time, perhaps it’s now DC that’s the superhero franchise to be most excited about.
The Infinity War is won.

T
en years ago, in Iron Man 2, is when we first met S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Natasha Romanoff; better known now as Black Widow having cemented herself as a regular fixture in the MCU. After supporting roles in seven films that saw her grow into a fan favourite before making the ultimate sacrifice to stop Thanos, she’s finally getting a film of her own. Bringing Scarlett Johansson back to the role she thought she’d left behind, Black Widow delves into the Infinity Saga timeline to reveal what happened in the time between Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War.
BLACK WIDOW
An origin story of sorts sends Black Widow back to where it all began. Budapest, and the Red Room where young women are brainwashed into becoming the world’s most elite assassins. There she must face longburied memories and go toe to toe with Taskmaster, a masked villain whose photographic reflexes can replicate the abilities and fighting style of any opponent. As Black Widow’s dark past comes to light, so does a chance to reunite with her first family of heroes.

hen a disastrous misstep on the bustling streets of New York City costs talented jazz musician Joe much more than just his headline spot, he finds himself plunged into an ethereal realm where souls develop their unique personalities. It’s here in The Great Before where Joe meets 22, a sceptical soul unconcerned with life on Earth. And so begins an unlikely friendship that explores the many joys of the human
condition. As Joe enlightens 22 on the unmissable experiences that lay ahead, he also begins to rediscover his own passion for life. Though not directly linked to Inside Out, Soul is every bit a spiritual successor to the much-loved Pixar picture. The two-time Academy Awardwinning director of Up and Inside Out, Pete Docter, returns with a star-studded voice cast including Jamie Foxx, Zendaya, and Tina Fey in tow. Disney Pixar’s latest melodic adventure promises to take cinemagoers on a poetic and visually-striking journey of self-discovery. The many setbacks and challenges of 2020 may well have delayed Soul’s arrival in cinemas, but now it’s time to get set for an existential animated experience that reaffirms the many reasons why life is so precious.

MITCHELLS VS MACHINES
Embarking on a wild cross-country road trip, a family disconnected by technology must work together if they’re going to save the world from the machine uprising. WORDS CHRIS WASEY RELEASE DATE TBC 2020 / Directors Mike Rianda, Jeff Rowe / Starring Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph / Genre Animation, Adventure, Sci-Fi
A
ccepted into her dream college, Katie Mitchell plans to move 1500 miles away from home and become a filmmaker. Terrified of losing their daughter forever, her parents insist on driving her across country themselves for some offline bonding time. With no screens to stare at, the family slowly begin to reconnect. But things change quickly as a “global technological singularity” occurs, causing electronic devices - from toasters and phones to cars
and personal robots - to rise up to overthrow the human race. Off-grid, but running out of time, the Mitchells must overcome their problems and work together if they’re to have any hope of saving the world. Bright, bold, and blending 3D animation with hand-drawn elements to create moments of blissful absurdity, Sony Animation Studios has the confidence to push the envelope and let Connected define its own unique style. Amid the fantastical visuals, Connected also asks real questions about the emotional challenges we face from allowing technology into family life, and the hastened disconnection from our adolescent children. It’s a story every parent will recognise… …except here the phones are literally trying to kill you as well!
GOOD CONNECTIONS y Sony Pictures Animation has quietl established itself as the studio for animation sleeper hits. Everything from Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs to collaborations with Aardman for Pirates: On An Adventure With Scientists. But 2019’s Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was where their true offbeat voice was found. A saturated, bombastic animation that leans into (and goes beyond) its comic book roots. After seven (yes, SEVEN) big-screen live-action to entries, many fans consider this be not only the best Spider-Man movie of all time - but also one of the best animations ever. Here, with added pizzazz from Spider-Verse producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller (also the directorial ’s geniuses behind The LEGO Movie inspired madness), Connected is the most unique animation you’ll see this year.

L
ife has been harmonious since Peter Rabbit and Thomas McGregor set aside their differences and decided that McGregor manor was big enough for the both of them - so much so that Thomas and Bea have decided to get married! But when Peter overhears their plans to bring some two-legged children into their makeshift family, he’s convinced that he and the other animals will soon be replaced and forgotten. Believing he’s better off on his own, Peter leads the animals out of the garden and to the city of Gloucester, where a bountiful farmers market - with its ripe radishes, crunchy carrots, and host of mischiefloving critters - gets him thinking he’s finally found a home where he can truly be himself. Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley reprise their roles as rabbits Mopsy, Flopsy, and Cottontail, while Domhnall Gleeson and Rose Byrne return as the newlywed McGregors. Following the huge box-office success of the first film, expect even more hijinks and plenty of heart - from Peter and his friends in this second outing.
