00:00What do you want with a dead girl?
00:02I'm the same. Born from the dead.
00:04Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:06And today, we're looking at upcoming
00:082026 movies and shows
00:10with stacked casts.
00:12Let's the 50th
00:14Hunger Games begin!
00:16Keep in mind that
00:18The White Lotus Season 4 probably
00:19won't land until 2027,
00:22although we're excited to see Helena
00:23Bonham Carter, Chris Messina, and
00:25more. Lucky.
00:27In her first mini-series
00:29since The Queen's Gambit, Anya Taylor-Joy
00:31returns to television as the titular
00:33Lucky, a criminal who's made her
00:35fair share of bad decisions.
00:37So why are we here, Lucky?
00:40It's like anything else.
00:42A series of bad decisions
00:44over an extended period of time.
00:45To leave her old life behind, she'll have to
00:47make a few more, hopefully before her
00:49luck runs out. The show has several
00:52other good luck charms, with Timothy
00:53Oliphant playing Lucky's father
00:55and Drew Starkey as her husband.
00:57The cast also includes two Oscar-nominated
01:00actresses. Annette Bening
01:02plays a mob leader you don't want
01:04on your bad side, while
01:05Ingenue Ellis Taylor stars as an
01:08agent hot on the trail of messes
01:10that Lucky leaves behind.
01:11Based on Marissa Stapley's novel,
01:14this adaptation doesn't need luck.
01:16It just needs the stars to align.
01:18How can someone so small cause so much trouble?
01:23Scarpetta.
01:24I, Dr. K. Scarpetta,
01:27do solemnly swear
01:28I will faithfully and impartially
01:30discharge all of the duties
01:32incumbent upon me.
01:34There have been multiple attempts to adapt
01:36Patricia Cornwell's
01:37K. Scarpetta novels.
01:39Demi Moore and Angelina Jolie
01:41have been attached to versions that never
01:43got off the ground.
01:44Nicole Kidman ultimately landed the role
01:47of Dr. K. Scarpetta
01:48in this Amazon series,
01:50which is being produced through
01:51Comet Pictures,
01:52Jamie Lee Curtis' company.
01:54This case
01:54and my first one,
01:57there are too many commonalities
01:59for them not to be connected.
02:01Curtis also stars as Dorothy Scarpetta,
02:03the titular forensic pathologist's
02:05sister.
02:06Fellow Oscar winner Ariana DeBose
02:08plays Dorothy's daughter Lucy.
02:10Bobby Cannavale appears as
02:12ex-detective Pete Marino,
02:14and the role of FBI profiler
02:16Benton Wesley went to Simon Baker,
02:18who has experience in the procedural genre.
02:20The cast also features younger versions
02:22of the characters,
02:23with Rosie McKeown as Kay
02:25and Amanda Rigetti,
02:27another mentalist alum,
02:28as Dorothy.
02:29That's a barrel of monkeys
02:30I would not want popping open.
02:33Oh, death stare.
02:36Dune Part 3.
02:37Whether or not Warner Brothers
02:38continues to adapt other books
02:40in the Dune series,
02:41this third installment
02:42will be a final bow
02:43for director Denis Villeneuve.
02:45Direct.
02:46Nothing fancy.
02:47Nothing fancy.
02:48Hey, I'm serious.
02:50Nothing fancy.
02:51You will shame my titian.
02:52I won't shame you.
02:53It could also be the last we see
02:54of several cast members.
02:56For now,
02:56most of the major players
02:57are returning,
02:59including Timothy Chalamet as Paul,
03:01Zendaya as Chani,
03:02Josh Brolin as Gurney,
03:04and Rebecca Ferguson
03:05as Lady Jessica.
03:06You young pup.
03:07You young pup.
03:10Even Jason Momoa's
03:12Duncan Idaho
03:13will make a comeback.
03:14We can expect larger roles
03:15for Florence Pugh's
03:17Princess Irulan
03:18and Anya Taylor-Joy
03:19as Paul's sister,
03:21Alia,
03:21who made a cameo
03:22in the previous film.
03:23Paul,
03:25don't worry.
03:27I'm with you.
03:28Among the newcomers
03:29is Robert Pattinson,
03:30who will more than likely
03:31be playing the villainous
03:33Sightail.
03:34Don't be surprised
03:34if a few more
03:35casting announcements drop.
03:36The Hunger Games
03:38Sunrise on the Reaping
03:40Twice the glory.
03:49It's time
03:52for the second quarter
03:54quell.
03:55Taking place
03:56after songbirds
03:57and snakes,
03:58but before Katniss
03:59set the districts on fire,
04:01this Hunger Games prequel
04:02once again offers
04:03a stacked cast
04:04as tribute.
04:05In addition to newer characters
04:07like Maiselie Donner
04:08played by McKenna Grace,
04:09Sunrise on the Reaping
04:10features younger versions
04:12of characters we all know.
04:13I think these games
04:14are going to be different.
04:17Among them
04:18are up-and-comer
04:19Joseph Zeta
04:20as Hamish Abernathy,
04:21Kieran Culkin
04:22as Caesar Flickerman,
04:23Elle Fanning
04:24as Effie Trinkett,
04:25Calvin Harrison Jr.

04:28Maya Hawke
04:28as Wyrus,
04:29Jesse Plemons
04:30as Plutarch Heavensby,
04:31and Rafe Fiennes
04:33as Coriolanus Snow.
04:35Billy Porter,
04:36Lily Taylor,
04:36Whitney Peake,
04:37and an unrecognizable
04:39Glenn Close
04:39round out a cast
04:40that might just bring back
04:42Jennifer Lawrence
04:42and Josh Hutcherson
04:44as well.
04:44The odds are in their favor.
04:46Welcome, Penem,
04:48to the glorious
04:50repeat of
04:51District 12.
04:53Margot's Got Money Troubles
04:54From Big Little Lies
04:56to Nine Perfect Strangers,
04:58David E. Kelly's shows
04:59are always rich
05:00with big names.
05:01Margot's Got Money Troubles
05:03is no exception.
05:04Elle Fanning
05:05plays the titular character
05:06in this adaptation
05:07of Rufy Thorpe's novel.
05:09Get yourself back up
05:09off the floor, young lady.
05:11There are no victims
05:13in Bloomingdale's.
05:15While the pregnant Margot
05:16indeed has money troubles,
05:18this Apple TV show
05:19spared no expense
05:20in its supporting cast,
05:21which includes
05:22Nick Offerman
05:23as Margot's estranged father,
05:25Michelle Pfeiffer
05:26as Margot's mother,
05:27and Greg Kinnear
05:28as the latter's boyfriend.
05:29Nicole Kidman
05:30re-teams with Kelly,
05:32playing the mediator
05:33between Margot
05:33and the ex
05:34who ran out on her
05:35and her baby.
05:36Even the guest stars
05:37are top tier,
05:39ranging from Oscar winners
05:40like Marsha Gay Harden
05:41to professional wrestler
05:43Chris Jericho
05:44as himself.
05:45What are you doing in there?
05:46We're making educational videos.
05:48Huh?
05:49The Bride
05:49Can anybody help me?
05:54Please.
05:55While we can expect
05:56The Bride
05:56to be quite different
05:57from Guillermo del Toro's
05:59Frankenstein movie,
06:00both have one thing in common
06:01other than Mary Shelley.
06:03A monstrously large cast.
06:05Oscar nominee
06:06Jesse Buckley
06:07roars to life
06:08as the titular bride,
06:09who was intended
06:10for Christian Bale's Frank.
06:12While we can anticipate romance,
06:14it's also a revenge story
06:15as The Bride
06:16settles the score
06:17with her murderer.
06:17We dug you up
06:19and we brought you
06:20back to life.
06:26Annette Bening
06:27plays the doctor
06:28who gave The Bride
06:29a second chance at life
06:30and to raise hell.
06:31The names keep coming
06:33in an ensemble
06:33that brings together
06:34Peter Sarsgaard,
06:36Penelope Cruz,
06:37and Jake Gyllenhaal.
06:38Speaking of whom,
06:40the film's director
06:40is Maggie Gyllenhaal.
06:42It's a regular monster mash
06:43right down to the dance floor.
06:45What are you sorry for?
06:46Did you do something wrong?
06:48Something you thought
06:49you might get away with?
06:50American Horror Story
06:51Season 13

07:14Yeah, I'm not gonna fly
07:162,000 miles
07:17just to see Highway.
07:18I guess I'll stay in Venice.
07:20With Emma Roberts
07:21in the mix as well,
07:22this lineup suggests
07:23that the season
07:24could pick up
07:24with the storyline
07:25that started
07:25with Season 3's Coven,
07:27along with other
07:28returning players
07:29like Leslie Grossman
07:30and Billy Lord,
07:31are newcomers
07:32to the franchise.
07:33I hope you're not suggesting.
07:34I'm not suggesting.
07:36I'm insisting.
07:37Most notably,
07:38Ariana Grande,
07:39fresh off her success
07:40with the Wicked duology.
07:42It's a season
07:43that promises
07:43to be as bewitching
07:44as its cast.
07:46Disclosure Day.
07:47People have a right
07:48to know the truth.
07:49It belongs
07:50to 7 billion people.
07:52If the name
07:53Steven Spielberg
07:54doesn't get you excited,
07:55and seriously,
07:56why wouldn't it?
07:57The onslaught
07:58of A-listers
07:59in his latest UFO picture
08:00surely will.
08:02Emily Blunt
08:02leads Disclosure Day
08:03as a meteorologist
08:04who finds herself

08:06of a global event.

08:14Eve Hewson,
08:15and Wyatt Russell
08:16are among the numerous
08:17other names
08:18who'll enter her orbit.
08:19Do you think
08:20there could be others?
08:24Why would he make
08:26such a vast universe?
08:29The plot remains
08:30clouded in mystery,
08:31but we really don't need
08:32to know anything more.
08:33The setup alone
08:34has us hooked,
08:35along with the cast,
08:36which encompasses
08:37more stars
08:37than there are
08:38in the entire galaxy.
08:39Full disclosure

08:45It's one of the most
08:46famous stories ever told,
08:48interpreted by one
08:49of our greatest directors,
08:50Christopher Nolan.
08:51Naturally,
08:52The Odyssey comes
08:53with a Trojan horse
08:54of on-screen talent.
08:56Matt Damon
08:56leads the charge
08:57as Odysseus,

08:59to his family.
09:01Anne Hathaway
09:01plays his wife Penelope,
09:03while Tom Holland
09:03stars as his son,
09:05Telemachus.
09:05That's just who we've seen
09:07in the trailers so far.
09:09No one could stand
09:10between my men
09:15and home.
09:16The ensemble

09:59Avengers Doomsday
10:00Honestly,
10:01it may be quicker
