The next chapter in Hathaway’s rebellion arrives in theaters

The long-awaited continuation of the Hathaway saga is almost here with Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, the second film in the cinematic adaptation of Yoshiyuki Tomino’s Hathaway’s Flash novel trilogy. Directed by Shūkō Murase and produced by Sunrise, the film continues the Universal Century storyline following the events of the first Hathaway movie. 

A rebellion against the Earth Federation

Set in U.C. 0105—twelve years after Char’s Rebellion—the story follows Hathaway Noa, who secretly leads the anti-Federation resistance movement known as Mafty. Publicly a quiet young man, Hathaway is orchestrating attacks against the Earth Federation’s leadership in response to what he sees as its increasingly oppressive rule. 

As Mafty prepares a major strike against the Adelaide Conference, Hathaway finds himself haunted by memories of past conflicts while grappling with the influence of a mysterious girl named Gigi Andalusia. Her strange powers and cryptic behavior complicate Hathaway’s mission as the Earth Federation begins mobilizing its own forces to stop him. 

A new stage in the Gundam film trilogy

The film serves as the second installment in the planned Hathaway trilogy, continuing the story that began with the 2021 film. Director Shūkō Murase returns to helm the project, with music composed by Hiroyuki Sawano and animation produced by Sunrise under Bandai Namco Filmworks. 

The Japanese voice cast includes Kenshō Ono as Hathaway Noa, Sōma Saitō, Junichi Suwabe, and Reina Ueda. 

Release details

Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe premiered in Japan on January 30, 2026 and is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on May 15, 2026. The film runs approximately 108 minutes and continues the Universal Century storyline with large-scale mobile suit battles and deeper exploration of Hathaway’s motivations. 

As the conflict between Mafty and the Earth Federation escalates, The Sorcery of Nymph Circe pushes Hathaway’s story toward its next major turning point in one of the most politically charged arcs in the long-running Gundam universe.

Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg is heading back into science fiction with Disclosure Day, and the buzz is real among movie lovers and sci‑fi enthusiasts. Known for shaping some of the genre’s most memorable adventures, Spielberg’s latest project looks set to examine what happens when humanity finally confronts the unknown. 

Plot details are still being guarded, but what we’ve seen so far suggests a story built around a pivotal moment in human history. At some point in the film, long‑buried information is suddenly revealed to the world, forcing governments, scientists, news crews, and everyday people to grapple with truths that upend their understanding of life beyond Earth. It’s less about typical blockbuster spectacle and more about how the world reacts when the veil lifts. 

Disclosure Day isn’t just a return to cosmic mystery—it’s anchored by a standout cast bringing this global story to life. Oscar‑nominated Emily Blunt leads the ensemble, sharing the screen with Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo, among others.  Their characters span scientists, officials, journalists, and everyday people thrust into extraordinary circumstances as the world’s assumptions are challenged. 

Early glimpses of the film lean into a grounded, atmospheric tone—think sweeping visuals of cities, research facilities, and anxious faces across the globe rather than CGI‑heavy alien battles. The focus seems to be on emotion, uncertainty, and the ripple effects of a revelation that could redefine humanity’s place in the universe. 

With Spielberg at the helm and a roster of seasoned actors delivering the human side of this story, Disclosure Day is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing sci‑fi releases in recent memory—especially for fans who love their spec‑fic grounded in real wonder and real consequences.

Trust falls won’t save you this time. Corporate Retreat is an upcoming horror-thriller from Aaron Fisher that takes the idea of a company getaway and twists it into something far more sinister.

At its core, Corporate Retreat follows a group of corporate executives attending what’s supposed to be a routine team-building trip. Instead, things spiral into a deadly nightmare when the retreat’s leader reveals a violent agenda, forcing everyone into a desperate struggle to survive. 

The film leans heavily into a mix of horror and dark satire, turning corporate culture into the backdrop for psychological tension and brutal survival scenarios. Early descriptions have compared its tone to a collision of high-stakes horror and biting workplace commentary, where ambition and hierarchy quickly become life-or-death liabilities. 

Fisher, who co-wrote the script alongside Kerri Lee Romeo, builds on his previous work by delivering a story that explores power structures and the cost of blind loyalty within corporate systems. The film has been described as an examination of “resilience in the face of a hierarchy that cares nothing” about its people, adding a thematic edge beneath the blood-soaked premise. 

The cast brings together a strong ensemble, including Odeya Rush, Alan Ruck, Rosanna Arquette, and Ashton Sanders, alongside a lineup of rising talent.  Their characters—ranging from executives to retreat staff—are thrown into a rapidly escalating situation where trust erodes and survival instincts take over.

Visually and tonally, Corporate Retreat appears to embrace both tension and dark humor, positioning itself as a horror experience that doesn’t just aim to scare, but also to critique the environments it’s set in. It’s a concept that feels especially timely, turning the familiar discomfort of workplace dynamics into something far more literal—and far more dangerous.

The film is currently slated to premiere at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival in April 2026, with a wider U.S. release expected on May 22, 2026. 

If you’ve ever thought a work retreat felt like torture, Corporate Retreat is here to show you just how bad it can really get.

The viral internet horror phenomenon Backrooms is heading to theaters in 2026, bringing the eerie concept of endless liminal spaces to the big screen. Directed by Kane Parsons and distributed by A24, the upcoming film adapts the unsettling online myth that imagines a hidden dimension of identical yellow rooms, buzzing fluorescent lights, and endless corridors.

Inspired by Parsons’ massively popular found-footage YouTube series, the movie expands the mysterious world of the Backrooms into a full cinematic story. While specific plot details remain limited, the film centers on characters who find themselves trapped in the strange dimension, where reality begins to unravel and escape may not be possible.

The cast includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve, Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, Lukita Maxwell, and Avan Jogia.

With its unsettling atmosphere and origins in internet folklore, Backrooms aims to transform one of the web’s most recognizable horror legends into a theatrical experience when it arrives in theaters on May 29, 2026.

Rising filmmaker Curry Barker returns to the horror genre with Obsession, an upcoming psychological thriller that promises to blur the line between devotion and destruction. Known for crafting tightly wound tension and character-driven fear, Barker’s latest project leans into intimate dread rather than spectacle—building terror from within.

Obsession centers on a relationship that begins with intensity and passion but gradually spirals into something far more dangerous. As fixation takes hold, trust erodes and reality begins to fracture. What starts as admiration twists into control, and the emotional stakes escalate into a suffocating game of manipulation and fear.

Rather than relying on traditional jump scares, the film is said to focus on psychological pressure—exploring themes of possessiveness, identity, and the dark corners of attachment. Barker’s direction reportedly emphasizes atmosphere and character performance, allowing tension to simmer before erupting into moments of raw horror.

Visually, Obsession aims for a grounded aesthetic, heightening the realism of its unraveling relationship. Confined spaces, lingering camera work, and subtle sound design are expected to play key roles in building unease. The horror here isn’t just external—it’s rooted in the characters’ internal collapse.

With audiences continuing to embrace intimate, character-focused horror, Obsession positions itself as a chilling study of how love can curdle into something far more sinister. As anticipation builds, the film stands poised to deliver a tense, emotionally charged experience that lingers long after the credits roll.

Adam Scott steps into darker territory with Hokum, an upcoming horror film centered on a novelist whose creative process begins to unravel in deeply unsettling ways. The film blends psychological tension with subtle supernatural elements, focusing on the fragile line between imagination and reality.

Scott portrays a successful author struggling to finish his latest manuscript. As deadlines loom and isolation intensifies, the act of writing becomes increasingly disorienting. Strange events begin to mirror passages from his unfinished work, leaving him questioning whether the horror on the page is purely fiction—or something bleeding into his real life.

Rather than relying on overt spectacle, Hokum is positioned as a character-driven thriller that builds dread through atmosphere and performance. The story explores themes of artistic control, guilt, and the emotional cost of creative ambition, grounding its horror in personal unraveling rather than constant shock.

With Scott leading the cast in a more dramatic and restrained role, Hokum looks to offer a slow-burning psychological experience for horror fans. Additional details, including release timing and supporting cast announcements, are expected in the months ahead.

Fans of the acclaimed indie horror title The Mortuary Assistant will soon see its chilling story brought to life in theaters. The film adaptation is set to premiere on Friday, February 13, offering a cinematic take on the game’s unsettling blend of supernatural horror and emotional storytelling.

Produced by Epic Pictures through its horror label DREAD, alongside Cole Payne’s Traverse Media and Jacob P. Heineke, the movie closely follows the narrative that made the original game a standout among horror fans.

Rebecca discovers evidence of demonic rituals while uncovering the troubling history of her employer, Raymond Delver, portrayed by Paul Sparks. As the night unfolds, she is also forced to confront unresolved trauma from her own past, adding a psychological layer to the mounting dread.

The screenplay is co-written by Tracee Beebe and Brian Clarke, the creator of the original game, signaling a strong effort to preserve the tone and story that players remember. The adaptation aims to translate the suspense, mystery, and memorable scares of the interactive experience into a film designed for both longtime fans and newcomers to the story.

Pictures and New Line Cinema.

The film’s cast includes Zazie Beetz in the lead role, with supporting performances from Myha’la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. 

Production for the film brought together creatives with experience in genre cinema, and the project has been described as blending horror action with darkly humorous beats, offering moments of tension alongside stylistic, action-oriented set pieces.
