Director: Tim Burton.
Starring: Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Samuel L. Jackson. USA 2016. TBC mins.
Visionary director Tim Burton and versatile screenwriter Jane Goldman (The Woman In Black, Kick-Ass) are the ideal couple to bring Ransom Riggs’s cult young adult bestseller to the big screen, with Burton’s quirky imagination soaring to the skies in this gothic spectacular. When a lonely teenager called Jake (Butterfield, Hugo) discovers clues that seem to unlock mysterious alternative realities, he also uncovers a hidden establishment known as Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. As well as getting chummy with its decidedly peculiar residents – all perfectly cast – and getting to grips with their various bizarre abilities, Jake learns from Miss Peregrine (Green, Casino Royale) that danger lurks everywhere. There are dark, powerful forces out there and Jake must figure out who and what to trust.
In a post-apocalyptic Britain, most of humanity has been decimated by an infection that turns its victims into flesh-eating zombies. On a heavily guarded army base, a small group of apparently immune but ultimately doomed children are being studied by a callous biological scientist (Close). When crazed zombies eventually overrun the base, one highly gifted child (remarkable newcomer Nanua) escapes with her kindly teacher (Arterton), along with a protective soldier (Considine) and the treacherous scientist. Based on the terrific but terrifying bestselling novel by M. R. Carey, Peaky Blinders director Colm McCarthy’s big-screen breakthrough has elements of such undead epics as World War Z and 28 Days Later…, and features a uniquely nuanced narrative and winning turns from all involved.
Director: Matt Ross.
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Frank Langella, George MacKay. USA 2016. 119 mins.
In a remote Pacific Northwest forest, Ben Cash (Mortensen) raises and radically homeschools his six genius-tinged children whilst his wife, Leslie (Trin Miller), battles with bipolar disorder. When she takes her own life in hospital, her rich, conservative father (Langella) threatens to have Ben arrested if he and the children turn up at her funeral.
Despite this, they embark on a long road trip in their converted bus to attend. The journey offers numerous opportunities for the family’s hippie-going-on-Marxist values to grate against America’s overfed consumerism – opportunities that writer-director Matt Ross and his talented cast avidly mine for both humour and sly ideological reflection. Neither detracts from the core drama as Ben inevitably finds his moral compass challenged by the children he’s striven so hard to cast in his own mould.
Director: Steven Spielberg.
Starring: Mark Rylance, Rebecca Hall, Penelope Wilton. UK/Canada/USA 2016. TBC mins.
Steven Spielberg’s vision of The BFG could not have come at a more opportune time: this year we celebrate 100 years of Roald Dahl. What better way to mark the century of the adored British author than with a brand new big friendly giant?
At the centre of the tale is Sophie (Ruby Barnhill), a characterful and curious young girl living in a London orphanage. One night, Sophie is let into an amazing secret: giants exist, and they deliver dreams into children’s bedrooms.
Sophie discovers this when she is whisked off to a land of giants, where the BFG (Rylance) teaches her about dreams and protects her from his rather less friendly brothers, including the Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and the Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement).
Director: Sharon Maguire.
Starring: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey. UK/Ireland/France/USA 2016. TBC mins.
Twelve years since The Edge Of Reason reprised the incredible success of Bridget Jones’s Diary, Renée Zellweger makes her third appearance as the delightfully ditzy singleton.
After recently splitting up with Mark Darcy (Firth), her enduring admirer from the first two romantic comedies, Ms Jones now maintains that she’s both happy and finally in control of her life – until, that is, a handsome American, Jack Qwant (Dempsey, long-term star of TV’s Grey’s Anatomy), sweeps her off her feet. And then, rather inconveniently, she finds herself pregnant and unsure whether Mark or Jack is the father.
It’s an uneasy dilemma for the somewhat reluctantly grown-up Bridget, who must also decide who she would want the father to be. Zellweger’s wonderfully nuanced performance will delight cinema audiences.

Director: Mat Whitecross. Featuring: Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher. UK 2016. 122 mins.
Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna), teams up with Mat Whitecross (Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll, Spike Island) to tackle game-changing act Oasis. With unprecedented access to Oasis’s archive, they create a magnificent patchwork of rarities from the Oasis vault, skilfully woven together with new interviews with the band as they look back (sometimes in anger) on their experiences. The film follows the Gallaghers’ truly rags-to-riches journey from a Manchester council estate to the release of their first single, Supersonic, to selling out stadiums. Liam and Noel’s furious feuding and the mayhem and excess of the band were a magnet for the press. The brothers speak unusually candidly about their fractious relationship and extraordinary rise to fame. Supersonic tells the story behind one of the world’s greatest super-bands, and is a riveting portrayal of the Britpop phenomenon.
In UK and Irish cinemas with exclusive live stream Q&A with Liam Gallagher and Mat Whitecross on October 2.

Director: Christian Vincent.
Starring: Fabrice Luchini, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Eva Lallier. France 2015. 98 mins. French with English subtitles.
In this double Venice Festival winner from La Seperation writer-director Christian Vincent, the ever-world-weary Fabrice Luchini (Potiche, In The House) plays Michel Racine, an uptight provincial judge. Presiding over the particularly grim trial of a man accused of brutally killing his daughter, Michel finds that one of the jurors, Ditte (Knudsen, Borgen, The Duke Of Burgundy), is a woman he long ago fell in love with. Although it’s initially unclear if she felt similarly smitten, Ditte agrees to share coffee with Michel – who abandons his nitpicking maintenance of protocols – during a courtroom break and, well, one thing leads to another. It’s an often tense but warmly humorous meditation that draws on the parallels between legal and personal trials, with Knudsen in particular demonstrating her command of emotional subtleties.

Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World + Satellite Q&A with Werner Herzog hosted by Richard Ayoade, live from the London Film Festival.
In a documentary on our society as it enters a new technological age, Werner Herzog explores the effect of the Internet – as well as its history and future – and the wonders of robotics. Herzog does not himself use a phone (smart or otherwise) and rarely goes online. Ironically this makes him the perfect choice to examine the impact connected technology is having on our lives. Neither celebration nor condemnation, Herzog’s exploration includes volunteering for tech pioneer Elon Musk’s mission to Mars and looking at technological developments that could lead to breakthroughs in medical research. Most affecting of all are the questions asked about the dark side of the web: can we trust those who understand this technology not to misuse it? On a planet still governed by nature’s laws, what if our online infrastructure were completely wiped out by natural disaster?
This shocking and irresistibly mysterious thriller is based on British author Paula Hawkins’s bestselling novel, relocating the action from London to New York.
Emily Blunt (Sicario) stars as Rachel, who daydreams about an imaginary ‘perfect couple’ living in one of the beautiful homes that she sees every day from the train. But one day, as she looks through the window, she sees something shocking in the house – and later she wakes up covered in blood and with no memory of why. When the news reports that a local woman has gone missing, Rachel becomes obsessed with finding out what has happened to her and, even more troublingly, where she herself was that night.
With a gripping central riddle, The Girl On The Train promises to be one of the year’s most talked-about movies.
The animated tale Gnomeo & Juliet knowingly follows the quintessential star-crossed lovers tragedy Romeo and Juliet, with the unexpected twist of making the characters garden gnomes that can move when human beings aren't watching. Though Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and Juliet (Emily Blunt) belong to feuding garden-gnome families, they meet and fall in love. But the clans' shared animosity is exacerbated when Tybalt (Jason Statham) dies in part because of actions taken by Gnomeo to defend a friend whom Tybalt was attacking. After getting some sage advice from a statue of William Shakespeare (Patrick Stewart), Gnomeo attempts to set things right, and win the heart of the lawn ornament he loves. The supporting cast includes the vocal talents of Michael Caine, Hulk Hogan, and Maggie Smith.

“TV 40 news personality Christine Chubbuck shot herself in a live broadcast this morning on a Channel 40 talk programme. She was rushed to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, where she remains in critical condition.” Shockingly, this is a real-life news bulletin from 1974. Even more shockingly, the bulletin was composed by Chubbuck herself, who left it on the studio desk before putting the gun to her head. She died some hours later. Who was Christine Chubbuck, and why did she do this horrifying thing? Director Robert Greene and actor Kate Lyn Sheil explore Chubbuck’s actions from the inside, making a boldly self-reflexive attempt to ‘perform’ her story as Sheil prepares to play Chubbuck on film. A Sundance 2016 award winner, the result is a provocative and at times even eerie meditation not just on Chubbuck’s life and death, but also on performance, voyeurism and documentary truth.

Steven Spielberg’s vision of The BFG could not have come at a more opportune time: this year we celebrate 100 years of Roald Dahl. What better way to mark the century of the adored British author than with a brand new big friendly giant?

Sophie discovers this when she is whisked off to a land of giants, where the BFG (Rylance) teaches her about dreams and protects her from his rather less friendly brothers, including the Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and the Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement).
