Aussie comedy legend Rebel Wilson cracks her knuckles on the filmmaking front with this directorial debut, a teenage musical centred on an outcast who sees her rural school\u2019s Debutante Ball as a hail Mary opportunity to reinvent herself. Aided by her social disrupter of a cousin, they attempt to find her a date, though what she probably needs is some self-acceptance. Early highlight includes a song-n-dance number featuring students belting out the chorus: \u201cFuck my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot\u2019s changed in the past two decades. Fashion\u2019s gotten faster, print magazine\u2019s declined, and phones have almost no buttons. Meryl Streep\u2019s Miranda, though? Still a Prada-wrapped she-devil. And Tucci\u2019s still Gucci. But even they have to weather the realities of a changed fashion landscape, currently dominated by Miranda\u2019s former employee-turned-rival Emily (Emily Blunt). It makes for a sequel setup that\u2019s perhaps more fascinating than many will expect, especially with the return of Anne Hathaway\u2019s Andy who, you have to imagine, will be far less tolerant of Miranda\u2019s bullshit this time around.<\/p>\n

Robert Pattinson and Zendaya play a longtime couple looking forward to their wedding day. Sounds sweet. Seems nice. But this ain\u2019t no date movie. This is an A24 production from the director of Dream Scenario<\/a> and Sick of Myself<\/a>. When Zendaya\u2019s Emma drops a surprise confession, it lights a wick that threatens to blow up their whole Happily Ever After. Anyone who\u2019s seen either of the aforementioned films will have some clue as to how bonkers this will get.<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 23 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n Don\u2019t let the image of this jolly chap fool you \u2013 this is very much a horror movie. Based on the cult hit videogame, the film stays true to the premise: a man (not pictured) finds himself mysteriously stuck in a forever-looping subway hallway and must spot strange anomalies to get out. It\u2019s a rare game-to-movie adaptation that allows audiences to play along, trying to spot subtle differences alongside the protagonist. A good primer to the upcoming Backrooms<\/a> film.<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 30 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n Early word\u2019s been glowing for this little-known horror. Adam Scott plays a writer visiting Ireland to scatter his parents\u2019 ashes. To make a grim situation worse, the place he\u2019s staying in is said to be haunted by a witch. Is it psychological? Is it supernatural? Whatever lies in wait for Scott\u2019s scribe, Slashfilm assures this is one \u201cvery satisfying, very fun, and very well executed scary movie.\u201d<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 16 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n In case you don\u2019t know, Lee Cronin is the director of 2023\u2019s wonderfully messed up Evil Dead Rise<\/a>. He wasn\u2019t very nice to the child characters in that film and it looks like he\u2019s carried that same couldn\u2019t-give-a-shit attitude for his take on the classic Universal monster, which centres on the disappearance of a journalist\u2019s daughter. We\u2019d tell you more but the plot is kept\u2026 under wraps.<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 22 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n First-time screen actor Jaafar Jackson moonwalks into the shoes of his uncle, Michael, for director Antoine Fuqua\u2019s blockbuster-sized biopic. Charting the popstar\u2019s rise to stardom, don\u2019t expect the film to dive deep into MJ\u2019s more controversial \u201cWacko Jacko\u201d years. You can, however, expect to see cinematic set-pieces recreating the King of Pop\u2019s concert performances as well as an electrifying (and terrifying) Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson.<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 2 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n Making a birthday cake for your president sounds like a wholesome task. Unless your president\u2019s Saddam Hussein. And you\u2019re just an innocent nine-year-old girl picked by mandatory selection. Then it becomes an intense scramble to achieve this thing you never wanted to do to the best of your abilities in order to avoid imprisonment or death. A big hit with the critics, writer-director Hasan Hadi went on to win the Golden Camera and the Directors\u2019 Fortnight Audience Award at Cannes.<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 1 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n Of course we were going to get another Mario movie. Illumination\u2019s 2023 family flick head-bashed the box office to make approximately a gazillion dollars worldwide. But rather than vaguely adapting the next relevant game in the series (Super Mario World was my bet), the studio\u2019s made the more intriguing move to take elements from classic 2007 Wii title Super Mario Galaxy. Let\u2019s a-go!<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 9 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n Getting early buzz overseas, this A24 one-location horror will almost certainly be the best horror you\u2019ll hear this month. The film centres on a podcaster, her natural scepticism of paranormal activity playing contrast to her True Believer co-host. Her beliefs may change when the pair listen in on a set of mysterious recordings. That\u2019s all we\u2019ll say. Go into this blind (or deaf, as it were).<\/p>\n \n In cinemas\n <\/p>\n Coming to cinemas 9 April<\/p>\n Watchlist Added<\/p>\n Little Mermaid<\/a> star Halle Bailey is a fish out of water (again) in this breezy romance as a chef who crashes at an Italian villa \u2013 only to pose as the owner\u2019s fianc\u00e9 when locals confront her. While in this lavish but unfamiliar country, she connects with a British lawyer (played by Black Bag<\/a> hunk Reg\u00e9-Jean Page) who opens the possibility of true love. How could this possibly go wrong? Oh yeah, the whole lying-about-getting-married thing\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April\u2019s not foolin\u2019 anyone with its hefty line-up of films coming soon to a cinema near you.
