Friday Jul 25, 2025
Sam Clements speaks to actor Ralph Ineson about his new role as Galactus in Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps, starring alongside Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby and Julia Garner.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family as they face their most daunting challenge yet.
Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) are forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond.
They're tasked to defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) – and if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.

Harvest with Harry Melling and Athina Rachel Tsangari | Picturehouse
Friday Jul 18, 2025
Friday Jul 18, 2025
Hope Hopkinson talks to director Athina Rachel Tsangari and actor Herry Melling about their new film, Harvest.
The latest feature from celebrated filmmaker Athina Rachel Tsangari (Chevalier, Attenberg), HARVEST is a spellbinding and thrillingly distinctive period piece like no other. Telling a story steeped in folk horror, and featuring another strikingly memorable performance from Caleb Landry Jones (Nitram), Tsangari presents a study of superstition, the trauma of modernity, and the looming threat of the outsider.
Set over seven hallucinatory days in an undefined era, an idyllic rural Scottish village with no name faces a period of great uncertainty when the community’s traditional way of life is suddenly disrupted by seismic economic turmoil. Townsman-turned-farmer Walter Thirsk (Landry Jones) and local landowner Master Kent (Harry Melling, The Tragedy of Macbeth) are childhood friends who lay witness to a series of unexpected invaders from the outside world, whose arrival brings about irrevocable – and potentially damaging – change.
Adapted from Jim Crace’s Booker Prize-nominated novel and co-starring Rosy McEwen, Arinzé Kene, Thalissa Teixeira, and Frank Dillane, HARVEST is an eerie, atmospheric and deeply immersive cinematic experience, blending beautifully textured storytelling with an exploration of what happens when people decide what a society should be.

Friday Jul 11, 2025
DC Studios’ first feature film to hit the big screen, helmed by writer-director James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy, The Suicide Squad), Superman brings the original superhero into a newly imagined universe with a singular blend of epic action, humour and heart.
Working as a journalist and keeping his identity under wraps, Superman (David Corenswet, Twisters) embarks on a journey to reconcile his intergalactic heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent, while the threat of Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) looms large.
Driven by compassion and an inherent belief in the goodness of humankind, Superman finds himself fighting for truth and justice – but his beliefs are out of place in a world that views this as old-fashioned.

F1: The Movie with Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer | Picturehouse
Wednesday Jun 25, 2025
Wednesday Jun 25, 2025
Hope Hopkinson talks to director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer about their new film, F1: The Movie.
Dubbed 'the greatest that never was', Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising racer of the 1990s – until an accident on the track nearly ended his career.
Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse.
Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world.
He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
Shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport, Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski brings the same death-defying, edge-of-the-seat thrills to the world of racing in F1: The Movie.
