- Napolean: Ridley Scott is back at it again with his historical epics since his underappreciated fan favorite 2021 medieval epic “The Last Duel“. Scott is bringing us a story that has been attempted multiple times throughout the years, the story is no other than the story of Napolean Bonaparte. Scott is reteaming with Joaquin Phoenix who will play the iconic historical figure. This film will be their first film together since 2000s, Gladiator.
- Havoc: In this day of age the genre of action can seem one noted to certain audience members and critics. The genre to some has become quite tame and predictable and definitely targeted to a certain type of audience. During this dark age of this genre Gareth Evans (director of The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2) is gifting the masses, Havoc. A visceral crime action thriller starring Tom Hardy. A film like this is needed in a pretty stale genre. Hopefully, this film will be a refreshing exciting experience.

Creating masterful on-constant repeat with sign of stopping. The collection of his masterful work continues on with Asteroid City.
