Berlin market-bound “The Trouble With Jessica,” which stars Rufus Sewell, Shirley Henderson and Olivia Williams, has launched its first trailer. It is being repped for global sales by Parkland Pictures.
The black comedy tells the story of two couples who find themselves having to move a dead body to ensure their imminent house sale doesn’t collapse.
Sewell (“Old”) and Williams (“The Father”) play one of the couples, Richard and Beth, while Henderson (“Harry Potter”) and Alan Tudyk (“Rogue One”) play their friends Sarah and Tom. Indira Varma (“Obi Wan Kenobi”) plays the eponymous doomed Jessica.
In the first trailer, which Variety unveils exclusively below ahead of the film’s Berlin market premiere later this month, the two couples are seen panicking after their friend Jessica dies by suicide in Sarah and Tom’s garden just as they are on the brink of selling the house for some much-needed cash.

Raw (Grave) is a horror and drama movie directed and written by Julia Ducournau magnificently starred by Garance Marillier who is given a life changing opportunity that does not go wasted.
Terror that is not suitable for all audiences in a movie that goes into the taboo of cannibalism.
Raw is the (already famous) movie directed in 2016 by Julia Ducournau. And, yes, it is about cannibalism, so if you are having a bad day… it is not a movie for you. However, the movie is not bad at all and it surprises us with a different focus and although at times it is sensationalistic and even morbid, it undertakes the narrative in a special, different way and with a blatant setting that matches the plot very well.
Storyline
Justine is a brilliant girl who starts studying veterinary sciences. She, and her family, is vegetarian, and a sort of initiation ritual...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Bullet Train."
Do we make our own luck, or carry out what fate has in store for us? This question is the essence of "David Leitch's Bullet Train," based on Kōtarō Isaka's novel of the same name. The comedy-action-thriller is chaotic from the get-go: it opens with Kimura aka The Father (Andrew Koji) boarding a Kyoto-bound train to confront the person responsible for pushing his child off a roof. Meanwhile, assassin Ladybug (Brad Pitt) reluctantly gets on the same train to complete his mission of grabbing a suitcase and getting off at the next station. As...

“Bullet Train” is weird and wild and undeniably bloody, taking audiences on a 2-hour journey across Japan. But if you’re here, that probably means you’re wondering what happens at the end of the line. In simpler terms: you want to know if “Bullet Train” has a post-credits scene.
With a film as convoluted and tangled — and well, silly — as “Bullet Train,” it’s hard not to expect some kind of post-credits footage. Especially considering that “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch helmed this movie too; he’s obviously no stranger to post-credit scenes. And that’s a good instinct, because “Bullet Train” does indeed have something to stay for.
Well, sort of. “Bullet Train” does have a stinger at the end, which starts just a few seconds into the credits themselves. It’s not so much a post-credits scene, or even a mid-credits scene, given its placement. But, it...

If your summer holiday entertainment menu is in need of a colourful kick up the arse, Bullet Train comes barrelling into cinemas this week. The Japan-based comical caper – weaned on a diet of liquidised Guy Ritchie mockney monologues and lesser Statham Transporter fights – might be as woefully Westernised as its influences sound but there are worse ways to kill two hours.
Returning to his deadly day job after a period of self-reflection, Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is feeling ambivalent about the whole gun-for-hire biz. To the extent that he’s reluctant to pack a piece at all. But his honey-voiced handler Maria (Sandra Bullock) persuades him to step into the shoes of a colleague from the assassin community who is off sick with a dicky tummy. Board an iconic train, grab a case, deliver the case, and pocket the fee. How hard can the assignment be?
Double hard bastard hard, as it transpires.

“There’s something really magic that happens when you think you’re embarking on a risk, because it’s so unknown,” declares Imogen Poots (“The Father”) about portraying a character that subverts expectations on genre-bending drama like Amazon’s “Outer Range.” “I thought it was ambitious, the fusing of the Western genre with, you know people say sci-fi, but we’re sort of just the idea of the unknown,” she proclaims, adding for our recent webchat, “it was very unique, and it felt like something I hadn’t come across before and haven’t done yet.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
