Michael, a new biopic from Lionsgate, explores the bumpy legacy of King of Pop Michael Jackson covering the singer’s time with The Jackson 5 to his breakout solo career with hits that defined a generation.

Covering Jackson’s rise to stardom, his musical achievements, and the personal struggles and public scrutiny he faced, Michael brings to life Jackson’s most iconic performances and offers insight into the entertainer’s artistic process and personal life.

Portrayed by his nephew Jaafar Jackson (son of Jermaine) in his film debut, Michael features an ensemble cast that includes Nia Long as Katherine Jackson (Big Momma’s House) Miles Teller as John Branca (Whiplash), and Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson (Zola).

According to Deadline, Michael Jackson is one of the biggest-selling artists of all time, with an estimated 400 million records sold around the globe. He counts 13 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era, and was the first artist to have a top-10 single on that chart in five different decades. His honors include 15 Grammy wins, 6 Brit Awards, a Golden Globe and 39 Guinness World Records including Most Successful Entertainer of All Time. His inductions include the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (twice), the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, the Dance Hall of Fame (the only recording artist to be inducted) and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame.

The age of Rom-Coms is dead you say? Nonsense says Bridgerton Season one’s resident heart throb Rege-Jean Page. Page who stars as the romantic lead role in You, Me, & Tuscany says he took the part because of Hollywood’s imminent death predictions. Page says Love isn’t dead!

You, Me & Tuscany is directed by Kat Coiro and written by Ryan Engle and stars Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid, The Color Purple) and Rege-Jean Page (The Gray Man, The Black Bag). The film takes place in Italy and tells the story of Anna, a young woman who has abandoned her dreams of becoming a chef and is now drifting through her twenties with a series of bad choices. When Anna loses her house-sitting job (and housing) in one fell swoop, she has a chance encounter with Matteo (Lorenzo de Moor), a handsome Italian who happens to have a villa sitting empty in Tuscany. Against the advice of her always-honest bestie, Claire (Aziza Scott), Anna jets off to Italy. But Anna’s plan to crash at Matteo’s villa, without permission, falls apart when Matteo’s cousin, Michael (Page) shows up. Anna discovers that the heat between them may ignite a fire that will transform her life.

Page hope audiences see Rom-Coms as the feel-good films are about aspirations, stepping into your best life by trusting other people, and discovering how to communicate and solve life’s problems together.

You, Me & Tuscany, in theaters April 10, 2026.

A dark comedy, Outcome, directed by and starring Jonah Hill (Superbad, Moneyball), premieres on Apple TV+, this month, which follows a once-troubled actor whose carefully rebuilt life begins to fracture when his past resurfaces.

Keanu Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix) stars as Reef Hawk, an actor five years into sobriety who has left Hollywood to focus on rebuilding himself. Creating a new home, Reef has found stability and takes pride in his progress. That sense of control is shattered when his crisis lawyer, Ira Slitz, played by Hill, informs him that a compromising video has surfaced, placing him at the center of a blackmail scheme.

Forced back into a world he deliberately left behind, Reef sets out to confront his past. As pressure mounts, he reconnects with former colleagues, strained relationships, and unresolved conflicts in search of answers and, ultimately, redemption. Each encounter reveals fragments of a life he has tried to outgrow, testing the limits of his sobriety. The film tracks his effort to remain grounded while navigating suspicion, regret, and the looming threat of exposure.

Reeves, whose 35-year career spans 68 movies, has consistently taken on emotionally demanding characters, never flinching at the tough stuff. Even his blockbuster roles take on characters with emotional depth (a grieving, vengeance-driven John Wick, the emotionally resilient Neo in The Matrix, the flawed lawyer in Devil’s Advocate). In Outcome, he again inhabits a complex figure navigating internal conflict under intense external pressure.

If you’re looking for some thrills set against the stunning backdrop of the Australian outback, look no further than Apex.

Apex follows Charlize Theron (Mad Max: Fury Road, Bombshell, Atomic Blonde) as Sasha, a rock climber who sets out to summit a difficult river. As she embarks on her climb, she begins to be followed and threatened by a mysterious hunter, played by Taron Egerton (Rocketman, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle). Dealing with grief and imminent physical threat, Sasha must fight to survive as she is attacked from all sides by the killer’s sinister game. Also appearing are Caitlin Stasey (Smile), Eric Bana (Troy), Bessie Holland (Wakefield), and Zac Garred (FraXtur).

Baltasar Kormákur, a director best known for survival thrillers like The Deep, Trapped, and Everest, isn’t one to go easy on his cast. He was quoted as saying “I try to drag the cast through hell — because they have to experience it!” At one point, Egerton had to freefall supported by only a wire, something that he found exhilarating and terrifying. Theron learned how to rock climb for the film and shot the majority of her climbing scenes without the use of a stunt double.

Apex promises a thrilling, brutal look at just how hard humans will fight to survive when they’re threatened by an unexpected source: not a natural predator, but one of their own kind.
