The blockbuster tentpoles and indie films coming out in the next three months offer a tasting menu teeming with delightfully strange stories.
Just after Memorial Day, we will see Cannes darling Renate Reinsve star in an internet-horror–inspired movie, and everything after that might make you read the synopsis twice. John Early goes full drag as a food influencer; Olivia Wilde finds her directorial voice in a chamber foursome ; Sophie Thatcher goes to hell; and oh, Anne Hathaway faces off against a dinosaur because her suburban cul-de-sac is cosmically transported into the past .
We can also expect some titles to trickle down to us fromin the coming months. I’m ready for the boisterous rollercoaster ride these bizarre flicks will undoubtedly bring us on. Here are the movies youThis A24-produced horror movie is inspired by the “Backrooms” internet phenomenon, where images of liminal spaces evolved into a collective horror mythology after the pair find common ground in their respective failures. Their brief friendship helps make it okay, until Danny steals a song Rick wrote. It’s now up to the past-his-prime wedding singer to somehow prove he wrote the boy band star’s comeback hit.
What a disaster. I’ll be seated, waiting to seeSteven Spielberg made headlines the last couple of weeks for championing “original stories,” calling out Hollywood’s recent habit of rehashing old stories and producing reboots. The legendary director’s personal contribution to this mission is, a brand-new sci-fi story probing our fears about government secrecy and aliens. John O’Connor plays a government employee-turned-whistleblower, Daniel Kellner, who has stolen critical information he intends to, well,to the public.
We’re not clear on what secrets are being exposed, but some clues include a plain-and-simple crop circle and meteorologist Margaret Fairchild speaks an alien language during a broadcast. This star-studded film is sure to be a summer blockbuster. Please, prove Hollywood wrong, Steven!while simultaneously playing Nick Tosches, an author living in modern-day New York City.
A mob boss tasks Tosches, an expert on Dante, to steal the original handwritten copy of the, a clear comparison between the two worlds that indicts today’s greedy society. We’re not sure how this will play out—but, Isaac is joined by a cast that includes Jason Mamoa, Gerard Butler, Sabrina Impacciatore, Martin Scorsese, John Malkovich, Gal Gadot, and Al Pacino.

Early stars, in drag, as Maddie Ralph, an aspiring vegetarian food influencer who suddenly becomes a star after her video editor husband helps her post a cooking video. It catapults her to fame—but she’s hiding a secret when her success reignites her previously squashed eating disorder. Likely collaborators Kate Berlant and Connor O’Malley come in to add some laughs for Early, but this Sirkian drama is somewhat touching, as Early explores Maddie’s arc with deadpan seriousness and a great deal of care for her—and her secret. Hugh Jackman really does it all, from singing showtunes to being an action movie star. On the heels of the kids’ movie, showing us his unrivaled range.
This rendition of the Prince of Thieves story is much, much darker than anything we’ve seen before.

It stars Wilde and Seth Rogan as Joe and Angela, a viciously toxic couple who contribute equally to the misery of their marriage.
One evening, they invite their neighbors, Pina and Hawk , over to dinner. One thing leads to the next, and the hip couple invites Joe and Angela to partake in a sex party. This proposition unfurls all the beautiful and ugly parts of the couple’s relationship within the pressure cooker of their San Francisco apartment. It’s wildly entertaining and proves you don’t need much more than good acting and robust dialogue to keep the audience’s attention.
, one of my all-time favorite movies, which she wrote. Maxine touches down in France just in time for Paris Fashion Week, tapped by a fashion house to film their runway show, a task that is upended when she receives a devastating breast cancer diagnosis .
Like much of Winocour’s other films, this story promises to grapple with the tumultuous emotions that accompany such a diagnosis and to examine the fallout.

We expect you’ll cry .

So far, all the movie stills and teasers indicate that Nolan intends to have some fun interpreting the text . But for the purists, don’t worry, Nolan’suntil a leaky heart killed him for 25 minutes, as he just revealed at Cannes. This near-death experience inspired him to rethink his career, and the resulting picture is, which follows Elle, played by scream queen Sophie Thatcher, as she traverses a metropolitan hellscape .
Reports from Cannes reveal the movie isn’t really tethered to any real story, but Elle is a famous actress with daddy issues and a psychosexual relationship with her stepmother . Charles Melton is in hell, too, as a GI looking for his daughter. Oh, and apparently, a demon known as the Leather Man is on the loose.

David Robert Mitchell, of, directed this movie, but it’s the producer who might yield the most clues about the plot: J.J.
Abrams . The cartoon coyote temporarily gives up his pursuit of Roadrunner; instead, setting his sights on the ACME corporation. It’s time for retribution , so Wile E. Coyote hires a penniless billboard lawyer played by Will Forte to sue.
Dave Green’swhen it premiered at Sundance earlier this year. Billed as a chaotic road movie, the movie looks like it falls smack dab between. It follows the two titular shitheads, played by Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson, who are hired to transport a rich kid to rehab.
