Joan Castleman (Glenn Close) has spent forty years sacrificing her own talent, dreams and ambitions to support her charismatic husband Joe (Jonathan Pryce) and his stellar literary career. Ignoring infidelities and excuses made in the cause of his art, she has put up with his behaviour with undiminished grace and humour. The foundations of their marriage have, however, been built upon a set of uneven compromises and Joan has reached a turning point.
On the eve of Joe’s Nobel Prize for Literature, the crown jewel rewarding a spectacular body of work, Joan will confront the biggest sacrifice of her life and some long-buried secrets. Based on the bestselling book by Meg Wolitzer, The Wife is a poignant, funny and emotional journey, a celebration of womanhood, self-discovery and liberation, featuring a stunning cast that also includes Max Irons, Harry Lloyd, Annie Starke, Elizabeth McGovern and Christian Slater.

Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. Master of horror John Carpenter will executive produce and serve as creative consultant on this film, joining forces with cinema's current leading producer of horror, Jason Blum (Get Out, Split, The Purge, Paranormal Activity). Inspired by Carpenter's classic, filmmakers David Gordon Green and Danny McBride crafted a story that carves a new path from the events in the landmark 1978 film, and Green also directs.

In this adaptation of R. J. Palacio’s bestselling children’s novel of the same name, breakout star Jacob Tremblay (Room) delivers a masterful performance as Auggie Pullman, a young boy born with a facial deformity who tries to fit in at a new school. Philosophical about the stares and bullying meted out by his peers, Auggie is determined to persuade his taunting schoolmates that the old adage ‘beauty is only skin deep’ remains true, while his fiercely supportive parents (Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson in standout performances) do their utmost to ease his difficult passage through fifth grade and beyond. Well versed in the subtleties of youth-based emotional drama, director Chbosky (The Perks Of Being A Wallflower) does a fine job empathising with Auggie’s dilemma, but ultimately it’s Tremblay’s film.
