The Wild Robot

The trailer for The Wild Robot reveals a heartfelt tale of a beings chosen family. The movie presented by DreamWorks Animation will be hitting theatres on September 27, 2024. The Wild Robot is a new rendition of Peter Brown’s cherished and award-winning literary masterpiece, the #1 New York Times bestseller. It’s the grand adventure of ROZZUM unit 7134—affectionately known as “Roz”—who finds herself stranded on an isolated island. To survive in this unforgiving environment, Roz must adapt and gradually form bonds with the local wildlife while becoming the adoptive mother to an orphaned gosling.

The cast of The Wild Robot includes Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, Black Panther) as Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) voicing Fink the fox; Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as Pinktail the opossum; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) portraying Longneck the goose; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) playing Brightbill the gosling; and Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once), who voices Vontra—a robot whose path crosses with Roz’s on their island journey.

The Wild Robot displays a compelling narrative about self-discovery that explores technology’s intersection with nature and delves into what it means to be alive and interconnected with all living beings. Written and directed by three-time Oscar® nominee Chris Sanders—the creative mind behind DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon—The Wild Robot promises to be both thrilling and deeply moving.

Disney Snow White

The tale of Snow White was originally crafted by the Brothers Grimm, a German pair consisting of Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm (1786–1859). These two scholars dedicated themselves to gathering and publishing folklore. Among their collected stories in what we now refer to as the Brothers Grimm universe are Cinderella, The Frog Prince, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, and Sleeping Beauty. These narratives were part of their inaugural compilation titled “Children’s and Household Tales,” published in 1812.

Jumping ahead to 1912, a Broadway play named “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was produced. This story later found new life as an animated film created by Walt Disney in 1937.

Disney’s latest adaptation of Snow White is set for exclusive release in theatres on March 21, 2025. The film stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.

This version of Disney’s Snow White is a live-action musical that re-imagines the iconic 1937 movie. It takes audiences on an enchanting musical journey back to this timeless tale featuring cherished characters such as Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, and Sneezy. Directed by Marc Webb with production led by Marc Platt and Jared LeBoff—and Callum McDougall serving as executive producer—the film introduces brand-new original songs from Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Alien: Romulus

In anticipation of the upcoming Alien: Romulus, we’d like to revisit all the classics that came before. Here’s a list of all the Alien movies a fan might want to watch to get familiar with this universe. This list represents the movies chronologically as they were released, which means the timeline will be a bit all over the place.

Alien (1979)
In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.

  1. Aliens (1986)
    After floating in space for 57 years, Lt. Ripley’s (Sigourney Weaver) shuttle is found by a deep-space salvage team. Upon arriving at LV-426, the Marines find only one survivor, a nine-year-old girl named Newt (Carrie Henn). But even these battle-hardened marines with all the latest weaponry are no match for the hundreds of aliens that have invaded the colony.
  2. Alien 3 (1992)
    Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is the only survivor when she crash-lands on Fiorina 161, a bleak wasteland inhabited by former inmates of the planet’s maximum security prison. Once again, Ripley must face scepticism and the alien as it hunts down the prisoners and guards. Without weapons or modern technology of any kind, Ripley leads the men into battle against the terrifying creature.
  3. Alien: Resurrection (1997)
    The saga continues 200 years after Ripley sacrificed herself for the sake of humanity. Her erstwhile employers are long gone; this time, it is the military that resurrects the one-woman killing machine through genetic cloning to extract the alien from within her. However, during the process, her DNA is fused with the queen’s, and then the aliens escape. Now Ripley must decide where her allegiance lies.

  1. Alien vs. Predator (2004)
    When the wealthy and ambitious Charles Bishop Weyland (Lance Henriksen) funds an expedition to Antarctica, he hopes to find a mysterious source of heat that has been detected. Led by guide, Alexa Woods (Sanaa Lathan), Weyland and his team uncover a pyramid, but they also find malevolent parasitic aliens. Making matters worse, another extraterrestrial species, known as Predators, arrives to hunt the other aliens, with the humans caught in the middle of the conflict.
  2. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)
    Following the events of the previous film, a Predator ship leaves Earth carrying Xenomorph facehuggers and Scar’s body before a chestburster with traits of both species emerges. It quickly matures into an adult Predalien and starts killing the Predators on board.
  3. Prometheus (2012)
    The discovery of a clue to mankind’s origins on Earth leads a team of explorers to the darkest parts of the universe. Two brilliant young scientists lead the expedition. Shaw (Noomi Rapace) hopes that they will meet a race of benevolent, godlike beings who will, in some way, verify her religious beliefs, while Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) aims to debunk any spiritual notions. However, neither the scientists nor their shipmates are prepared for the unimaginable terrors that await them.
  4. Alien: Covenant (2017)
    Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, members (Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup) of the colony ship Covenant discover what they think to be an uncharted paradise. While there, they meet David (Michael Fassbender), the synthetic survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition. The mysterious world soon turns dark and dangerous when a hostile alien life-form forces the crew into a deadly fight for survival.

And now, we are all caught up and looking forward to Alien: Romulus, coming out on the 16th of August. So far, the production team has been very secretive about the plot, but the trailer reveals the following: A group of young space colonists who, while scavenging a derelict space station, come face-to-face with the most terrifying life form in their universe.

We’re looking forward to watching it and getting the review out to you!
