Mackenzie Davis Has A Golden Future

In this year’s Tully, Mackenzie Davis soared as a Mary Poppins-ish night-nurse to Charlize Theron’s harried mum. Toughened on the childcare frontline, she’s about to tackle battles almost as exhausting alongside another female action icon in a franchise fraught with child-protection issues: joining Linda Hamilton, Davis is set to co-lead Tim Miller’s Terminator revival.

How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Having been deprived of a limb in the first How To Train Your Dragon and a loving father in the second, youthful Viking Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) has suffered enough, you might think. Yet the third entry in DreamWorks’ heart-stirring fantasy series has one more trauma to inflict on its callow protagonist: the prospect of a fond farewell to his scaly companion Toothless, a dragon whose slim hopes of survival depend on getting as far away from humankind as possible.

Instant Family

From the director (Sean Anders) and star (Mark Wahlberg) of the Daddy’s Home movies comes another film about the travails of parenting, only this time inching into more serious territory. Instant Family is, for Anders, a personal picture: its tale of Pete (Wahlberg) and Ellie (Rose Byrne) adopting three children out of the foster care system is based on his own experiences.

True Detectives

In The Highwaymen, Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson are the Texas Rangers charged with hunting down Bonnie and Clyde. Total Film talks to the leads and director John Lee Hancock to find out why the star-crossed outlaws still hold such an enduring and relevant fascination for moviegoers.

Double Trouble

Jordan Peele follows his directorial debut Get Out with Us, a terrifying doppelgänger movie that dares to face the terror within. Total Film speaks to Hollywood’s hottest filmmaker and his starry cast about America’s nightmares in a damaged brain.

Superbad Good!

Olivia Wilde makes her directorial debut with sharp high-school comedy Booksmart – a girl-power spiritual successor to Superbad that got rave reviews at SXSW. The self-confessed film geek tells Total Film about having a strict no-asshole policy, how far she’s come from The O.C. and how she’s putting her money where her mouth is for a better female filmmaking future.

Eigth Grade

On paper, it would be easy to dismiss Eighth Grade as just another high-school movie, infused as it is with the standard quotidian of Gen Z academic life from mean girls and crushes to clueless parents and teachers.

Ant-Man And The Wasp

Back in 2015, Ant-Man was a small hero, with little expectation on his shoulders. Based on one of the sillier-sounding characters from the comics (“I thought they had run out of characters and now they were making them up,” said Evangeline Lilly when first offered the script), it also suffered production problems as original director Edgar Wright departed, replaced at the 11th hour by Peyton Reed.
