New trailers April 27-May 3, 2024

• Mufasa: The Lion King: the upcoming musical drama film directed by Barry Jenkins and written by Jeff Nathanson. It is the live-action styled photorealistic animated prequel to the similarly created 2019 remake of the original 1994 film The Lion King. Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, and John Kani reprise their character roles from the remake, and are joined by Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr., who voice their young versions of King Mufasa and Scar. Donald Glover and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter are also back voicing Simba and Nala, and Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy is making her feature debut voicing as Kiara. The prequel is about the rise of one of the greatest kings of the Pride Lands. It goes back to the African savanna where Rafiki tells Kiara – daughter of Simba and Nala – the story of her grandfather while Timon and Pumbaa add color commentary. The film is releasing in theaters on December 20.
• Senna: an upcoming Brazilian biographical drama television miniseries based on the life of Ayrton Senna. The series follows the life of Ayrton Senna from the beginning of his racing career in Formula Ford to the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Gabriel Leone is starring as Ayrton Senna in the series alongside Alice Wegmann, Kaya Scodelario, Pâmela Tomé, Julia Foti and Camila Márdila. Senna will be released on Netflix later this year.
• Presumed Innocent:  an upcoming legal thriller miniseries created by David E. Kelley, based on the 1987 novel of the same name by Scott Turow. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Renate Reinsve, Peter Sarsgaard, O-T Fagbenle and Lily Rabe. It tells the story of a prosecutor who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of one of his colleagues. The miniseries is premiering on Apple TV+ on June 12.
• Lee: a new biographical drama film directed by Ellen Kuras in her feature directorial debut, from a screenplay by Liz Hannah, John Collee and Marion Hume. It’s a story from Marion Hume, John Collee and Lem Dobbs, which is adapted from the 1985 biography The Lives of Lee Miller by Antony Penrose. It stars Kate Winslet as war journalist Lee Miller alongside Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Andy Samberg, Noémie Merlant, Josh O’Connor, and Alexander Skarsgård. It tells the story of Lee Miller who goes from a career as a model to enlisting as a photographer to chronicle the events of World War II for Vogue magazine. The film took eight years to make and, at one point, due to precarious funding, Kate Winslet (who also produced the film) paid the entire cast and crew’s salaries for two weeks. The film made its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and will be released in theatres in the United Kingdom on September 13 and in the US a week later on September 20.
• Eric: an upcoming British psychological thriller miniseries created and written by Abi Morgan with Lucy Forbes directing and Holly Pullinger producing the series. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role as Vincent, a puppeteer in 1980s New York whose nine-year-old son, Edgar, has gone missing. Vincent’s increasingly volatile behavior alienates him from his friends and family. After issues with substance abuse, Vincent becomes convinced that he can reunite with Edgar with the help of his seven-foot-tall puppet, Eric. The series is releasing on Netflix on May 30.
