Watch the trailer here:

Set during a bitter 1964 Massachusetts winter, young secretary Eileen becomes enchanted by the glamorous new counselor at the prison where she works. Their budding friendship takes a twisted turn when Rebecca reveals a dark secret — throwing Eileen onto a sinister path.

The film is directed by William Oldroyd who had also been at the helm for Lady Macbeth, which starred another critical darling in the form of Florence Pugh. The movie had also been described as very ‘Hitchcockian’; pretty much like Eileen, so we should expect the same kind of tone to be all over this film.

Personally, the film feels like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, with Hathaway playing the part of the evil nurse, but it does throw a kind of curveball in the story in that McKenzie’s character looks to be Hathaway’s protégé, and we get to see them engage in what also seems to be an age-gap romance.

I think the last time we’ve seen a period lesbian film with an age gap like this was Ammonite with Saoirse Ronan and Kate Winslet. It’s going to be interesting to watch how both actresses will play off one another here.

Eileen is set to hit cinemas on Dec. 8.

Here’s her interview with Entertainment Tonight:

“Oh, it is so much fun. We’ve started doing little bits and pieces already, but the greatest part is that I get to say I’m doing work or research just by gaming. [That’s] pretty great.” When asked by fans if she’s getting into any of the Super Mario games, she replied, “I have to. The fanbase is so intense, of course I have to do it. And it’s so much fun.”

Besides Taylor-Joy, the movie also has a cast which includes Charlie Day (Luigi), Jack Black (Bowser), Keegan-Michael Key (Toad), and Seth Rogen (Donkey Kong). With the world of Super Mario filled to the brim with crazy characters, we can only expect the world to grow even more in a sequel—if the movie gets a sequel greenlit, that is.

We don’t know when we’ll get our first look at the Super Mario Bros. movie yet, but with a release date set for the end of 2022, we may have to wait a while before we get to see what this characters will look like in the animated film. Even so, we have multitudes of Mario media to comb through where we can meet all these fun and kooky characters.

No release date has been set for the Super Mario Bros. film, but themovie is expected to come out in the holiday season 2022. In the meantime, you can catch Taylor-Joy in Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho now in theaters.

Watch the trailer for Old down here:

Here’s the official description:

This summer, visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan unveils a chilling, mysterious new thriller about a family on a tropical holiday who discover that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly … reducing their entire lives into a single day.

The film is actually based on a 2010 graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters. Knowing how Shymalan has a penchant for twists in his film, it’s possible that he could change the ending of the book, in an effort to keep audiences on their feet.

The film features a great cast with the likes of Gael Garcia Bernal (Mozart in the Jungle) and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread). Movie fans will also recognize Alex Wolff from another horror movie, Hereditary. You also have to give props for Thomasin McKenzie for landing another job with a high-profile director with Shyamalan. After working with Taika Waititi on Jojo Rabbit, she’s also set to appear in Last Night in Soho directed by Edgar Wright. Funnily enough, Soho also stars Anya Taylor-Joy, who was the lead of Shyamalan’s latest hit—Split.

Could Old be further proof of Shyamalan’s comeback, or could it be another major tumble like Glass? We’ll just have to wait and see.

Catch Old when it hits theaters on July 23.

Watch the trailer for Last Night in Soho down here:

The official description reads:

Edgar Wright’s psychological thriller about a young girl, passionate in fashion design, who is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it appears, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences…

The film looks to have Thomasin McKenzie (Jojo Rabbit) and Anya Taylor-Joy (Queen’s Gambit) in the spotlight, but the film also has Matt Smith and Terence Stamp credited in the cast. What’s more, the movie also has an appearance from Game of Thrones’ Diana Rigg, who had passed away last year.

Harry Potter fans will also be happy to see twins James and Oliver Phelps, who had played the mischievous Fred and George Weasley in the Potter movies.

I've been dreaming of this film for a while, but soon will be the time for it to haunt you too. I'll see you in the dark of the cinema this October for #LastNightInSoho. pic.twitter.com/nJuPXScjbJ

Admittedly, I wasn’t expecting Last Night in Soho to be a horror film, but knowing Wright and his homages to several genres, it’s going to be interesting to see him go all out when it comes to horror. Taylor-Joy has also had a penchant playing the ‘victimized girl’ in scary movies, so it would be great to see her take on the role of the ‘tormentor’ this time.

Catch Last Night in Soho when it comes out Oct. 22.
