Shirley is based on the novel of the same name by Susan Scarf Merrell. The film had its world premiered earlier this year at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. It stars Elisabeth Moss and Michael Stuhlbarg, Logan Lerman, and Odessa Young.

The official synopsis reads: “Fred (Lerman) and Rose (Young) move to a small Vermont college town in pursuit of a job for Fred as an assistant professor of literature. The young couple receives an offer for free room and board from professor Stanley Hyman (Stuhlbarg), as long as Rose agrees to spend time cleaning up the home and looking after his wife, acclaimed horror author Shirley Jackson (Moss). At first Fred and Rose detest the rocky household of the eccentric couple, but they eventually establish deep bonds with their counterparts, which will test the limits of their young love.”

Shirley hits VOD and digital on June 5.

The Invisible Man hails from writer-director Leigh Whannell. It stars Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, The Handmaid’s Tale) as a woman who is trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who fakes his own death discovers how to become invisible.

The new trailer dives deeper into the story and reveals, perhaps too much, of the film’s story. 

“The interesting thing was that I was constantly shooting these empty rooms, and empty corridors, and there’s something a bit uncinematic about that,” Whannell told Entertainment Weekly. “I mean, when you make a movie, the idea is that you put people in the frame — you put something in the frame. When you’re shooting nothing, it goes against the grain of every cinematic instinct you have!”

The Invisible Man hits theaters February 28.

The feature adaptation from helmer Jane Campion is based on Thomas Savage’s 1967 novel that tells the story of brothers Phil (Cumberbatch) and George Burbank. The two are joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. When George secretly marries local widow Rose (Moss), an angry Phil wages a relentless war to destroy her by using her son Peter as a pawn.

“The Power of the Dog is a sublime novel that deserves a life on the big screen. I couldn’t stop thinking about the story, it really haunted me. The themes of masculinity, nostalgia and betrayal are an intoxicating mix,” Campion said. “It’s also rare to find a story where the themes, the plot and the characters build tension as they reveal each other and even the end is satisfying and unexpected. It will be the first time I’ve worked with a male lead, which is exciting. Phil is a charismatic and complex character who declares war on his brother’s new wife and her teenage son.”

The film is set to go into pre-production at the end of the year. 

It will be presented to buyers at Cannes via Cross City Films.

The movie, which is set to be shoot in Australia, will be directed and written by Leigh Whannell. Johnny Depp, who was originally nabbed to play the lead role, isn’t expected to take part in the project.

The Invisible Man, based on the classic monster character of the same name, was announced back in 2016 with Depp in the lead role. The movie was supposed to be part of The Dark Universe – a series of connected movies based on Universal Classic Monsters. However, after the Tom Cruise-starred The Mummy, which served as the first installment in the series, crashed and burned at the box office and was received poorly by the critic, Universal decided to rethink their approach.

The studio now moved away from the idea of “shared universe” and will focus on individual movies that will be smaller-scaled than it was originally envisioned.

“Throughout cinematic history, Universal’s classic monsters have been reinvented through the prism of each new filmmaker that brings these characters to life,” said Peter Cramer, Universal’s President of Production, in one of the earlier statement. “We are excited to take a more managed approach for their return to the screen, shepherded by creators who have stories they are passionate to tell with them.”
