Whether it works or not, you can be sure that fans of The Bat won’t miss this latest version of the Dark Knight. Directed by Mark Reeves, Zoe Kravitz stars as Selina Kyle-The Catwoman, with Colin Farrell, Paul Dano and the excellent Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon.

Brad Pitt appears as a real blonde adventurer who saves the day.

“Morbius” from Marvel starring Jared Leto is set for April 1.

“The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” features Nicolas Cage, who stars as himself in said film. Kidnapped by a deranged fan who forces him to enact his most memorable roles, the movie also stars Pedro Pascal, Neil Patrick Harris, Ike Barrinholtz and Tiffany Haddish.
