Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig steal the show in ‘Logan Lucky’ trailer

Any new movie from Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Soderbergh is worth keeping an eye on, but the first trailer for his upcoming film Logan Lucky indicates it could be something particularly special.

A heist comedy with an all-star cast that includes Channing Tatum (Magic Mike), Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), and Daniel Craig (Skyfall), Logan Lucky is the three-time Oscar nominee’s first directorial project since 2013’s Side Effects and Behind the Candelabra. The film follows a pair of dimwitted brothers (played by Tatum and Driver) who attempt to pull off a massive robbery at the Charlotte Motor Speedway with some help from a bank robber (Craig) they break out of prison.

As with many of Soderbergh’s films, Logan Lucky has an impressive supporting cast of familiar faces, including Seth MacFarlane (A Million Ways to Die in the West), Riley Keough (Mad Max: Fury Road), Katie Holmes (Batman Begins), Katherine Waterston (Alien: Covenant), and Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The Winter Soldier). Two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank also stars as a law-enforcement agent on the brothers’ case.

The film is the first screenwriting credit for Rebecca Blunt, and tells the story of a pair of unlucky brothers who hope to break their lifelong streak of misfortune by pulling off a heist at the Coca-Cola 600 race at North Carolina’s Charlotte Motor Speedway during Memorial Day weekend. Soderbergh, who won an Oscar for directing 2000’s Traffic and was nominated two other times for Erin Brockovich that same year and in 1990 for penning the screenplay for Sex, Lies, and Videotape, came out of a highly publicized retirement from directing to get behind the camera for Logan Lucky.

Logan Lucky will also be the first credited role for Craig since his back-to-back James Bond portrayals in 2012’s Skyfall and 2015’s Spectre. The film is scheduled to hit theaters August 18.

The Old Guard 2 cast chooses iconic movie moments to witness for the first time
A group of soldiers stand in the dirt in The Old Guard 2.

Internet culture in the Digital Age moves at the snap of a finger. Thanks to the social media algorithm, what's popular today might not be talked about tomorrow. Five years feels like a lifetime. That's how long it's been since The Old Guard premiered on Netflix. It's fitting that a follow-up to a movie about a team of immortals would take its time before hitting the service. Mortals, rejoice. The wait is over. The Old Guard 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Charlize Theron returns for the action-packed sequel as Andy, the leader of a team of immortal mercenaries who serve as protectors of the world. The team consists of immortals Nile (KiKi Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), and Nicky (Luca Marinelli), along with a mortal, James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Speaking of finite creatures, Andy now copes with her mortality, which affects every decision, knowing she can finally die. Andy and her team will be tested with the arrival of Discord (Uma Thurman), the very first immortal with a sinister plan that threatens the universe. To defeat Discord, Andy seeks the help of an old friend, Tuah (Henry Golding), who may hold the secrets of immortality.

Want to watch Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey teaser trailer? Here’s what you need to know
Matt Damon stares with a helmet on.

The most anticipated movie of 2026 is not up for debate. Apologies to fans of Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Messiah, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but those movies pale in comparison to Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

For his follow-up to Oppenheimer, Nolan is adapting Homer's Greek epic poem about the legend of Odysseus. The Odyssey is in production and well over a year away from hitting theaters. The first teaser trailer has been released. However, there is a catch.

Jurassic World Rebirth review: A fun but all-too familiar blockbuster
Jurassic World Rebirth: a sequel that brings some life back to an exhausted franchise
A man and woman hide in a field and stare curiously in "Jurassic World Rebirth."

Director Gareth Edwards (The Creator) has brought audiences back to the land of dinosaurs with his film, Jurassic World Rebirth. This standalone sequel to Jurassic World Dominion follows a team of hired operatives as they journey to an island inhabited by mutant dinosaurs, which were left behind by Jurassic World researchers, and try to gather enough dino-DNA to generate a cure for heart disease.

The Jurassic Park franchise is struggling to keep things fresh and engaging. Clearly, the filmmakers knew this fact during the production of Jurassic World Rebirth. This sequel falls short of expectations with its familiar story elements, some thin characters, and a clunky script. Nevertheless, Jurassic World Rebirth still provides some entertainment, featuring some terrific new players, exhilarating action scenes, terrifying suspense, and outstanding visuals. This movie is far from the best in the Jurassic Park saga, but it's a decent blockbuster nonetheless.
