Upcoming Films: A Look at Exciting New Releases
Explore the latest film announcements including Fantômas, Werwulf, and the return of Peter Jackson to Tintin.
The film industry is buzzing with anticipation as several notable projects gear up for release in the coming years. Among these is Fantômas - Le Nouveau monde, directed by Frédéric Tellier. This film, featuring talents such as Guillaume Canet, Romain Duris, and Ana Girardot, aims to offer a more authentic depiction of the original novels by Souvestre and Allain. Unlike the comedic adaptations starring Louis De Funès and Jean Marais, this period piece is set to hit theaters on February 10, 2027.
In addition to Fantômas, audiences can look forward to Werwulf: la bête maudite, the latest offering from director Robert Eggers. This film is scheduled for release on January 6, 2027, and the trailer has already generated considerable excitement.
Another highlight on the horizon is the long-awaited sequel to The Adventures of Tintin. Peter Jackson has nearly confirmed his return to direct this film, which has been in the works for approximately 15 years. While details about the storyline remain under wraps—previous discussions hinted at Les 7 Boules de Cristal—the film is expected to be released around 2028. There is still no word on whether a third installment, co-directed with Steven Spielberg, is in the plans.
Matthew McConaughey is also making a return to the big screen in Oklahoma Money, directed by Andrew Patterson and featuring Kurt Russell. This film is set to premiere on August 19. The trailer has already stirred interest among fans of both actors.
Lastly, the upcoming film Behemoth!, directed by Tony Gilroy of Andor fame, features Pedro Pascal in the role of a cellist. This film is projected to be released later this year, although a specific date has not yet been announced.
