Speak no Evil (2024)
Release date: Sept 13
When you hear the name, it literally talks of being modest and pious in speech, but beyond its title, James Watkins tells the story about a married couple with kids who meet another family on vacation, accept an invitation to visit their home later, and begin to sense increasingly undertones lurking behind the hospitality of their hosts. James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Scott McNairy star in this remarke of the 2022 Danish thriller
Transformers one
Release date: Sept 20
If you are used to the transformers series, this is definitely a different one because it is separate from the ongoing narrative of the live-action films, and it will be helmed by Toy Story 4 director Josh Cooley, with Chris Hemsworth as the voice of Optimus Prime and Brian Tyree Henry as Megatron. The Transformers franchise returns to its roots with an animated prequel that explores the origins of the titular robots’ home world of Cybertron and the rivalry between Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson, Zazie Beetz, Catherine Keener, and Jacob Lofland perform their magic in this one.
