Five years ago, it was announced that Ben Wheatley would be writing, directing, and executive producing Generation Z, a “hilarious, frightening, and political” series that would consist of six hour-long episodes that would “mix flesh-eating zombies into a story that satirizes how Brexit has divided the UK.” That project didn’t make it into production when it was originally supposed to because of the pandemic shutdown… but after making Meg 2: The Trench (you can read our review at This Link and check out our interview with the filmmaker Here), Wheatley circled back around to Generation Z. The show is now ready to start airing on Channel 4 in October, and in anticipation of the premiere, Empire has unveiled two new images.

Movies about the infamous French military commander Napoleon Bonaparte have always been massive undertakings. After all, the wars and battles he unleashed were some of the biggest and deadliest in European military history. You can't exactly be frugal when adapting these battles to the big screen, and since they're such a significant part of Bonaparte's legacy, you shouldn't even think of skipping them. This is partially why Stanley Kubrick's biopic of the commander wound up in development hell and never found its way out during his lifetime.

However, it seems Ridley Scott has finally done what was previously thought to be nearly impossible: He has directed a biographical action epic based on Bonaparte's life, simply titled "Napoleon," and it is coming out later this year. Starring Oscar-winner Joaquin Phoenix as the commander, it marks the actor's first collaboration with Scott since their acclaimed team-up on 2000's "Gladiator." While...

Napoleon is an historical drama movie directed by Ridley Scott, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Napoleon. This will the first production collaboration between actor and director since Gladiator (2000). Initially titled ‘Kitbag’, in early 2022 it was decided that ‘Napoleon’ should be the film’s ultimate title.

You can look forward to a grand scale film, with several big battles being featured, and a close look at the dynamics between Napoleon and his wife Josephine.

The movie will be released on Apple TV+ this year.

The past comes back to haunt the present in the official trailer for Rebecca, a new adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 gothic novel that's directed by Ben Wheatley and coming to Netflix on October 21st (in addition to select theaters in October).

Directed by Wheatley from a screenplay written by Jane Goldman and Joe Shrapnel & Anna Waterhouse (based on du Maurier’s novel), Rebecca stars Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Keeley Hawes, Ann Dowd, Sam Riley, Tom Goodman-Hill, Mark Lewis Jones, John Hollingworth, and Bill Paterson.

Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock previously adapted Rebecca as a feature film in 1940.

Synopsis: "After a whirlwind romance in Monte Carlo with handsome widower Maxim de Winter (Armie Hammer), a newly married young woman (Lily James) arrives at Manderley, her new husband’s imposing family estate on a windswept English coast.

Lily James grapples with her husband’s haunted past in Rebecca, out October 21st on Netflix.

Based on the 1938 novel by Daphne du Maurier, the trailer features a young woman (James) getting swept up in a Monte Carlo romance with the suave widower Maxim de Winter (Armie Hammer). Soon after, Winter proposes: “I’m asking you to marry me, you little fool,” he tells her.

The woman moves into Manderley, Winter’s lavish English estate, where she begins to unravel the mystery of his late first wife, Rebecca. “She was the love of his life,...

"You can talk to me about her... I have no secrets from you." "All marriages have their secrets." Netflix has released the first official trailer for Rebecca, a sultry film from director Ben Wheatley. A young newlywed arrives at her husband’s imposing family estate on a windswept English coast and finds herself battling the shadow of his first wife Rebecca, whose legacy lives on in the house long after her death. Rebecca is "a mesmerizing and gorgeously rendered psychological thriller based on Daphne du Maurier's beloved 1938 gothic novel." It was also adapted into Hitchcock's 1940 film Rebecca. Starring Armie Hammer as Maxim de Winter and Lily James, with Kristin Scott Thomas, Keeley Hawes, Ann Dowd, Sam Riley, Tom Goodman-Hill, Mark Lewis Jones, John Hollingworth, and Bill Paterson. This looks superbly passionate - curious to see how Wheatley has updated this ghost story. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Ben Wheatley's Rebecca,...

After a prolific streak the first half of the previous decade with Kill List, Sightseers, A Field in England, High-Rise, and Free Free, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen Ben Wheatley. While Happy New Year, Colin Burstead is still awaiting a U.S. release, he’s now returning this fall with an adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s gothic novel Rebecca, famously adapted by Alfred Hitchcock for his 1940 Best Picture winner.

Featuring Armie Hammer and Lily James taking the lead roles, with Kristin Scott Thomas becoming Mrs. Danvers, if you ask the director, he’s not following in the footsteps of The Master of Suspense. “It’s not, in any sense, a remake of the Hitchcock film, firmly not,” he tells Empire. “Remaking a film is not that interesting to me, but the original source material is. I watched all the adaptations. It’s important to see what’s gone before,...
