As the new school year begins, several major film releases are anticipated in the coming weeks, offering a range of genres including action, science fiction, adventure, and thrills. Among the notable titles are Resident Evil, Primetime, Heart of the Beast, Digger, and Les Misérables. These films span different styles and themes, from reimaginings of popular video games to adaptations of classic literature. Resident Evil, set for release on September 16 and running for 1 hour and 37 minutes, is an adaptation of the well-known video game series. Directed by Zach Cregger, the film takes a different approach by focusing on a story independent of the games, sidelining iconic characters such as Leon S. Kennedy or Claire Redfield. Yoann Sardet, an independent film journalist, noted that the film is interesting due to its director, Zach Cregger, who has directed films such as Évanouis and Barbare. Primetime, directed by Lance Oppenheim and released on September 23, is a production by A24. The film features Robert Pattinson in the role of Chris Hansen, the host of To Catch a Predator. It explores the boundaries between journalism, justice, and entertainment. Yoann Sardet mentioned that the film raises a real social question about when justice does not do its job and other people take over. Heart of the Beast, released on September 23, sees Brad Pitt return to the screen after the success of F1. The film follows a former special forces member and his dog as they survive in a hostile environment. The director, David Ayer, reunites with Pitt after their collaboration on Fury. Yoann Sardet compared the film to I Am Legend and The Revenant, highlighting its visceral and emotional aspects. Digger, released on July 15, is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and stars Tom Cruise. The film sees Cruise playing a megalomaniac character facing a global catastrophe. The film reunites Iñárritu with Emmanuel Lubezki, the director of photography from Birdman and The Revenant. Yoann Sardet noted that the film is a challenge for Cruise, who is trying to prove he can exist beyond his past successes. Les Misérables, set for release on October 14, is an adaptation of Victor Hugo's novel directed by Fred Cavayé. The film features a prestigious cast including Vincent Lindon, Tahar Rahim, Camille Cottin, and Noémie Merlant. Yoann Sardet described the film as ambitious, with a real tricolor ambition to return to event films with big budgets.
