‘The Lost Bus’ (2025)

Inspired by true events linked to the 2018 Camp Fire, ‘The Lost Bus’ follows a determined father and a dedicated teacher as they work to shepherd 22 children to safety while a fast-moving wildfire closes in. Paul Greengrass directs and co-writes with Brad Ingelsby, adapting reporting by Lizzie Johnson; the cast features Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera, with supporting roles for Yul Vazquez and Ashlie Atkinson.

Produced as an Apple Original Film, the drama emphasizes procedure and split-second decision-making as evacuations, route choices, and shifting fire behavior force constant course corrections. James Newton Howard provides the score, principal photography is by Pål Ulvik Rokseth, and the film begins streaming on Apple TV+ on October 3, 2025.

‘All of You’ (2025)

‘All of You’ is a British-American sci-fi romance centered on two best friends whose lives are upended by a technology that claims to identify your perfect match, tracing their relationship across years as choices and timing collide. William Bridges directs and co-writes with Brett Goldstein; the film stars Imogen Poots and Brett Goldstein, with appearances by Zawe Ashton and Jenna Coleman.

Backed by Apple Original Films and produced out of the U.K. and U.S., the feature premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival before debuting on Apple TV+. The production leans on an intimate, character-first approach to speculative tech, using campus-era flashbacks and adult-life cross-cuts to follow how an algorithm’s promise reshapes everyday decisions.

‘The Gorge’ (2025)

Set around a vast canyon, ‘The Gorge’ pairs two elite sentries on opposing sides who form a wary connection while defending against escalating incursions. Scott Derrickson directs from a screenplay by Zach Dean, with Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy leading the cast and Sigourney Weaver in a key supporting role.

An Apple Original Film with Skydance, the project blends siege-thriller mechanics with sci-fi-horror elements, staging large-scale set pieces on vertical terrain—rope ascents, narrow ledges, and subterranean passages. The production focuses on surveillance, long-distance communication, and resource management to push the characters from standoff to cooperation.

‘Fountain of Youth’ (2025)

‘Fountain of Youth’ brings estranged siblings back together to follow a trail of clues pointing toward the legendary spring said to grant eternal life, mixing family history with a globe-trotting caper. Guy Ritchie directs; the cast includes John Krasinski as Luke Purdue and Natalie Portman as Charlotte Purdue, alongside Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci. James Vanderbilt is credited with the screenplay.

Produced by Apple Studios with Skydance, the film builds its hunt around museums, archives, and coded artifacts that kick off a series of timed switch-offs and heist-style handoffs. The ensemble operates as a specialist crew—researchers, forgers, and field operatives—whose conflicting methods power the plot’s rhythm from clue to clue.

‘Highest 2 Lowest’ (2025)

Set in contemporary New York, ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ reimagines a kidnapping scenario inside the world of wealth and celebrity, following a high-profile figure whose family becomes leverage in a meticulously planned ransom scheme. Spike Lee directs, with Denzel Washington leading an ensemble that includes Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and John Douglas Thompson.

An Apple Original Films and A24 collaboration, the production teams Matthew Libatique (cinematography) with editor Barry Alexander Brown. Press conferences, boardrooms, and back-channel negotiations form the procedural backbone as investigators and insiders navigate class, public attention, and a tightening timeline.

‘Apple Music Live: Fuerza Regida’ (2025)

‘Apple Music Live: Fuerza Regida’ captures the regional Mexican group onstage in Mexico City, delivering a set that draws from corridos tumbados staples and the ‘111XPANTIA’ era. The concert special is produced by Apple Music and presented on Apple TV+ with multi-camera coverage and a run time tailored for on-demand viewing.

Frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz anchors the performance with arrangements built around requinto, tuba, and bajo sexto. Shot and mixed for streaming, the special documents call-and-response moments, instrumental breakdowns, and the current tour’s staging while offering a snapshot of the band’s live production in 2025.

‘Wolfs’ (2024)

‘Wolfs’ pairs two rival professional fixers who discover they’ve been hired for the same late-night cleanup job in New York, turning a routine call into a spiraling series of complications. Jon Watts writes and directs, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt starring alongside Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan.

Developed with Apple Studios and produced by Smokehouse Pictures and Plan B partners, the film uses a tight, chaptered structure—pickup, containment, fallout—to organize escalating obstacles. Larkin Seiple’s cinematography and Theodore Shapiro’s score help shape the nocturnal pace as the fixers improvise under surveillance and mounting witness risk.

‘The Family Plan’ (2023)

‘The Family Plan’ follows Dan Morgan, a former government assassin living undercover as a suburban dad, who must pull his family into a cross-country escape when his past resurfaces. Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan lead the cast, with Zoe Colletti and Van Crosby as their kids; Maggie Q, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Ciarán Hinds co-star. Simon Cellan Jones directs from a screenplay by David Coggeshall.

An Apple Studios and Skydance production, the movie blends road-movie momentum with set-piece chases and identity switches. The plot tracks hotel stops, close calls, and evolving family dynamics as old enemies converge, keeping the action tied to the family’s growing understanding of Dan’s former life.

‘Sharper’ (2023)

Set in New York’s world of luxury and long cons, ‘Sharper’ unfolds through intersecting chapters that reveal each character’s angle in a web of deception around inheritance and power. Benjamin Caron directs from a script by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka. The ensemble includes Julianne Moore, Sebastian Stan, Justice Smith, Briana Middleton, and John Lithgow; Moore also serves as a producer with Apple Studios and A24.

The film’s structure reframes earlier scenes as new information surfaces, moving through bookstores, penthouses, and downtown haunts. Charlotte Bruus Christensen is credited with cinematography, Clint Mansell with the score, and the production emphasizes forged identities, controlled reveals, and the mechanics of the long con.

‘Greyhound’ (2020)

Based on C. S. Forester’s novel ‘The Good Shepherd’, ‘Greyhound’ follows a first-time U.S. Navy convoy commander navigating the mid-Atlantic “Black Pit” with German U-boats closing in. Tom Hanks stars as Commander Ernest Krause and wrote the screenplay; Aaron Schneider directs, with Stephen Graham and Elisabeth Shue in supporting roles.

Produced by Playtone, Bron, and Greyhound Productions for Apple TV+, the film focuses on convoy tactics—zig-zag patterns, active sonar hunts, coded transmissions, and replenishment windows—across a compact timeline. Practical shipboard staging and VFX sea states frame the command decisions as the convoy races toward air-cover range.
