From the twisted mind of Matthew Vaughn ( Kingsman franchise, Kick-Ass) comes A rgylle, a razor-witted, reality-bending, globe-encircling spy thriller.

Bryce Dallas Howard ( Jurassic World franchise) is Elly Conway, the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels, whose idea of bliss is a night at home with her computer and her cat, Alfie. But when the plots of Elly’s fictional books — which centre on secret agent Argylle and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate — begin to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organisation, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.

Accompanied by Aidan (Oscar winner Sam Rockwell), a cat-allergic spy, Elly (carrying Alfie in her backpack) races across the world to stay one step ahead of the killers as the line between Elly’s fictional world and her real one begins to blur.

The top-flight ensemble cast features Henry Cavill ( The Witcher), John Cena ( Fast X), Oscar winner Ariana DeBose ( West Side Story), Grammy-winning pop superstar Dua Lipa ( Barbie), Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Bryan Cranston ( Breaking Bad), Emmy winner and comedy icon Catherine O’Hara ( Schitt’s Creek), Sofia Boutella ( Kingsman: The Secret Service), and the legendary Samuel L. Jackson. Alfie is played by Chip, the real-life cat of supermodel Claudia Vaughn (née Schiffer).

Argylle is directed and produced by Matthew Vaughn, from a screenplay by Jason Fuchs ( Wonder Woman). The film is produced by Matthew Vaughn, Adam Bohling ( Kingsman franchise), Jason Fuchs, and David Reid ( Kingsman franchise).

MEAN GIRLS

Welcome to the revenge party

From the comedic mind of Tina Fey comes a new twist on the modern classic, MEAN GIRLS. New student Cady Heron (Angourie Rice) is welcomed into the top of the social food chain by the elite group of popular girls called ‘The Plastics’, ruled by the conniving queen bee Regina George (Reneé Rapp) and her minions Gretchen (Bebe Wood) and Karen (Avantika). However, when Cady makes the major misstep of falling for Regina’s ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), she finds herself the prey in Regina’s crosshairs. As Cady sets to take down the group’s apex predator with the help of her outcast friends Janis (Auli’i Cravalho) and Damian (Jaquel Spivey), she must learn how to stay true to herself, while navigating the most cut-throat jungle of all: high school.

Directed by Samantha Jayne, Arturo Perez Jr

Written by Tina Fey

POOR THINGS

Plotting a course to freedom

From film-maker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone, both Oscar nominees, comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr Godwin Baxter (Oscar nominee Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos

Screenplay by Tony McNamara

Cast: Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott.
