A24 has unveiled the first full trailer for Mother Mary, the latest film from director and writer David Lowery. The footage sets an unsettling tone, hinting at a story that fuses pop stardom with personal conflict, and promises something beyond a conventional comeback narrative.
Anne Hathaway stars as a global pop icon preparing for a major career revival. In the trailer, she wears striking outfits, including a glittering bodysuit and a halo-inspired headdress. On the surface, she dazzles, but tension simmers beneath the glamour. She reconnects with an estranged friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. Their reunion is charged, revealing unresolved conflict, old betrayals and emotional friction on the eve of Hathaway’s high-stakes return. The atmosphere feels uneasy, with brief glimpses of surreal rituals and fragmentary conversations that leave much unexplained.

Music is central to the film. The trailer features original tracks produced by Charli XCX, FKA Twigs and Jack Antonoff, all performed by Hathaway herself. The mix of performance and story suggests Mother Mary is not your typical musical. Instead, it explores the friction between public image and private relationships, blending psychological tension with the spectacle of the pop world.

Lowery’s involvement adds another layer of intrigue. Known for visually bold and emotionally ambitious work, he brings a distinctive style that suggests the film will take risks both narratively and aesthetically. A24’s reputation for boundary-pushing projects further raises expectations. The trailer avoids giving everything away, teasing tension, key character dynamics and atmosphere rather than plot specifics.

Mother Mary is set for release in April 2026. The trailer offers a first look at emotional and professional conflicts, a moody visual style and the fusion of music and drama. For fans of Hathaway, Coel and the music collaborators, it hints at a film that is complex, compelling and not easily categorised. A UK audience can expect something bold, stylish and thought-provoking without being overblown.
Film and fashion fans have something to celebrate. “The Devil Wears Prada” is back. On November 12, 2025, fans got their first glimpse of the long awaited sequel online, and yes. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are back as Miranda Priestly and Andy Sachs.
The teaser starts with red heels clicking through the Runway office, with Madonna’s “Vogue” playing in the background. Miranda steps into the elevator with her signature icy gaze, while Andy follows, playfully greeting her with a Streep’s reply, “Took you long enough,” instantly recalls a moment from the original film.
Alongside Streep and Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci are back, reprising their roles. New cast members include Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley, Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, Caleb Hearon, Helen J. Shen, Pauline Chalamet, B.J. Novak, and Conrad Ricamora. Adrian Grenier will not return; his role as Andy’s love interest is now played by Patrick Brammall.

Director David Frankel, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna, and producer Wendy Finerman are all back, the film stays true to the spirit of the original while introducing new storylines. Production started in New York City this past summer and later moved to Europe.
Reports say Lady Gaga made a brief cameo during a fashion show in Milan for the film. While longtime fashion icon Anna Wintour will not appear in the film.
The sequel is scheduled to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, nearly 20 years after the original premiered, the teaser hints that even as the fashion industry evolves, Miranda’s commanding presence and Andy’s keen intuition continue to drive the story. Fans can expect the witty dialogue, stylish outfits, and clever satire that made the first film unique.
With the original stars back, a cast of exciting new faces, and a story that blends style and drama, the Devil Wears Prada 2 promises to be a must-see for movie and fashion fans alike.
Adele, the Grammy-winning British singer, is set to make her feature film acting debut in Tom Ford’s upcoming adaptation of Cry to Heaven. Ford, who writes, directs and produces the project through his company, will mark his third feature film with the 1982 novel by Anne Rice as his source material.

The story of Cry to Heaven is set in 18th century Italy and centres on the intertwined lives of a Venetian nobleman and a castrato singer, exploring themes of artistic ambition, social constraint and identity. The cast includes multiple established actors alongside Adele, although her specific role has not yet been disclosed.
Filming is scheduled to begin in London and Rome in January 2026, with a planned release in late 2026. Ford intends to finance the production independently.

For Adele, this marks a significant shift from her musical career. Following a residency in Las Vegas that concluded in November 2024, she announced a break from recording and touring. For Tom Ford, the project comes after nearly a decade away from directing films; his previous features were 2009’s A Single Man and 2016’s Nocturnal Animals.
By combining a high-profile musical artist entering the film world and a director known for his strong visual style, the film carries high expectations. The material, rooted in opera and historical drama, offers Adele the opportunity to draw on her performance background in a new medium. Equally, it presents challenges as she takes on a period role with complex character dynamics. For Ford, the independent financing and ensemble cast suggest he is maintaining full creative control. The reception of both the film and Adele’s performance will be closely watched when it reaches audiences.
Emma Stone returns in Bugonia, her latest project with director Yorgos Lanthimos. The trailer has dropped, and it already has people talking. What we see is a dark mix of paranoia, absurdity and tension, with Stone caught in the middle.
Stone’s Striking Transformation
The preview opens with Stone’s character, Michelle Fuller, a powerful corporate figure, snatched outside her home by two men convinced she is not human. In one of the most unsettling moments, they shave her head, claiming it will stop her from “contacting the mother ship.” Stone’s transformation is stark. Her famous red hair is gone, replaced by a shaved scalp and a defiant glare that lingers long after the clip ends.
Conspiracy and Comedy Collide
The kidnappers, played by Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis, are conspiracy obsessives who see Fuller as part of a plot against humanity. Their basement interrogation swings between bleak humour and genuine menace, while the outside world scrambles to find the missing CEO.
The atmosphere sharpens further with a slowed, ghostly version of Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” It turns the pop hit into something strange and unsettling.
A Partnership Built on Risk
This marks the fourth collaboration between Stone and Lanthimos, after The Favourite, Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness. Few actor and director partnerships push boundaries in quite the same way. Stone throws herself into roles that demand total transformation, while Lanthimos shapes stories that sit uneasily between satire and discomfort. Together, they make films that refuse to play safe.
Release and Reception
Bugonia premiered at the Venice Film Festival on 28 August, sparking instant debate about Stone’s transformation and the film’s razor-sharp humour. It reaches UK cinemas on 24 October in limited release. A nationwide rollout follows on 31 October, just in time for Halloween.
Why It Matters
On the surface, Bugonia is a story about alien paranoia. Beneath that lies a sharper critique: conspiracy culture, corporate mistrust and the thin line between conviction and delusion.
Emma Stone, bald-headed and chained in a basement, has once again picked a role that shows her at her most fearless.
