The Northman, a film by Robert Eggers
14 January 2022
The Northman, trailer, the latest feature from American filmmaker Robert Eggers, is a dark, brooding affair, set in tenth century Iceland. There’s some star power here, the cast includes Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Alexander Skarsgård, Willem Dafoe, and Björk. Eggers has a penchant for horror themed stories, and while it doesn’t look like there’s too much bump in the night stuff, there’s gore aplenty.

Red Rocket, a film by Sean Baker
22 December 2021
Red Rocket (trailer), is the latest feature of American independent filmmaker Sean Baker. Mikey (Simon Rex) is a down on his luck former porn actor in search of a new lease of life, though his previous line of work makes looking for a new job a little tricky. Casting for Red Rocket was unconventional to say the least, with the director sometimes approaching people on the street, asking if they’d like to take part.
