The Little Stranger arrives to cinemas this August
starring Domhnall Gleeson, Charlotte Rampling, Will Poulter and Ruth Wilson. 
THE LITTLE STRANGER tells the story of Dr Faraday, the son of a housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1947, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how terrifyingly, the family's story is about to become entwined with his own.

remembered as the writer of Frankenstein. But the real life story of Mary Shelley, and the creation of her immortal monster, is nearly as fantastical as her fiction.
Raised by a renowned philosopher father (Stephen Dillane) in 18th century London, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (Elle Fanning) is a teenage dreamer determined to make her mark on the world when she meets the dashing and brilliant poet Percy Shelley (Douglas Booth). So begins a torrid, bohemian love affair marked by both passion and personal tragedy that will transform Mary and fuel the writing of her Gothic work. Imbued with the imaginative spirit of its heroine, Mary Shelley brings to life
Mary Shelley is considered to be the mother of modern science fiction
the world of a trailblazing woman who defied convention and channelled her innermost demons into a legend for the ages. Ben Hardy, Tom Sturridge, Hugh O'Connor, Jack Hickey play other famous poets and writers of that time.

GETS A BRAND NEW TRAILER
Solo will first air at Cannes Film Festival
Disney has released a new trailer for their prequel movie SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY which will bring Han's origin story into cinemas May 25th! A rather doomed project which had to change its director in the middle of production and got mixed reaction for the first trailer and the choice of Alden Ehrenreich for the lead, is predicted to earn the lowest income of all Star Wars movies so far. Also starring Emilia Clarke as Qi'Ra, Woody Harrelson as Solo's mentor and Donald Glover as young Lando Calrissian, the movie will describe how Han Solo became the famed criminal of the galactic empire.
Chewbacca's wife is also set to appear in this one!
Opening first exclusively at Cannes Film Festival next month the science fiction adventure movie also stars Westworld's Thandie Newton.
