‘Roofman’ (2025)

Derek Cianfrance directs this biographical crime dramedy about Jeffrey “Roofman” Manchester, an Army Reserve veteran who became infamous for roof-entry burglaries and an audacious post-escape hideout inside the walls of a shuttered electronics store. Channing Tatum leads the ensemble as Manchester, with Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, and Peter Dinklage among the credited cast; Cianfrance co-writes with Kirt Gunn, and Andrij Parekh serves as cinematographer.

The film traces Manchester’s meticulous heists, his breakout, and the reinvention of his identity while evading capture, weaving procedural detail with character study. Produced by Limelight with editing by Jim Helton and Ron Patane, the production blends true-crime facts with dramatized episodes, spotlighting the investigators, community figures, and retail settings that framed the real case.

‘Vicious’ (2025)

Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, this horror thriller stars Dakota Fanning alongside Kathryn Hunter, Mary McCormack, Rachel Blanchard, and Devyn Nekoda. Richard Suckle produces, with a compact runtime and a focus on performance-driven tension.

The story centers on an escalating series of unnerving events that test the protagonist’s resolve as dread slowly closes in. With a score by Tom Schraeder and Bertino’s emphasis on atmosphere and sound design, the film concentrates on contained spaces, pointed cinematography, and a small circle of characters whose choices drive the terror.

‘Ozzy: No Escape from Now’ (2025)

This feature documentary from director Tania Alexander offers intimate access to Ozzy Osbourne, charting late-career health battles, creative decisions, and family dynamics. The project features candid participation from Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne, as well as musicians including Tony Iommi, Duff McKagan, Robert Trujillo, Maynard James Keenan, Zakk Wylde, and Chad Smith.

Produced by Echo Velvet in partnership with MTV Entertainment Studios and Paramount Television Studios, the film combines new interviews and archival material to explore injuries, surgeries, and the realities of recovery. It situates personal moments alongside career milestones, producers’ perspectives, and studio collaborators who frame the music’s late-period evolution.

‘I See You’ (2019)

Directed by Adam Randall and written by Devon Graye, this psychological thriller stars Helen Hunt and Jon Tenney as Jackie and Greg Harper, whose family is upended by a missing-child investigation. Judah Lewis co-stars as their son, with Owen Teague in a pivotal supporting role.

The narrative uses shifting viewpoints to reframe domestic turmoil and the case’s mounting anomalies, introducing pranks, disappearances, and unexplained events inside the Harper home. With deliberate reveals and a structure that revisits earlier scenes from new angles, the film blends procedural elements with home-invasion mechanics and urban-legend imagery.

‘Breaking In’ (2018)

James McTeigue directs this home-invasion thriller written by Ryan Engle, led by Gabrielle Union as Shawn, a mother forced to outthink a crew of intruders at her late father’s fortified estate. Billy Burke plays the calculating antagonist, with Ajiona Alexus, Seth Carr, Levi Meaden, and Richard Cabral rounding out the crew.

The set-piece-driven plot turns the smart-home security system into both obstacle and weapon, as Shawn navigates the property’s cameras, locks, and blind spots. Produced by Will Packer Productions, the movie emphasizes spatial choreography—vents, rooftops, and panic-room perimeters—while keeping the focus on a parent’s tactical ingenuity.

‘Nightcrawler’ (2014)

Written and directed by Dan Gilroy, this neo-noir stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Lou Bloom, an independent videographer who prowls Los Angeles for late-night crime footage. Rene Russo plays Nina Romina, a local news director, with Riz Ahmed as Lou’s assistant and Bill Paxton as a veteran stringer.

The film follows Bloom’s rise through the freelance news economy as he blurs lines between observer and participant to capture sensational images. With Michael Shaheen’s production design and Robert Elswit’s cinematography highlighting city lights and scanner chatter, the story maps the ecosystem of local news desks, police radios, and freeway interchanges.

’30 Days of Night’ (2007)

David Slade directs this adaptation of the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith. Josh Hartnett and Melissa George star as estranged spouses in an Alaskan town entering a month-long polar night, with Danny Huston leading a pack of predators that descend on the isolated community.

Screenwriters Stuart Beattie and Brian Nelson shape the siege narrative around dwindling resources, limited daylight, and a shrinking safe zone. The film’s design emphasizes cold, shadows, and the predators’ feral communication, while supporting players like Ben Foster and Mark Boone Junior add layers to the town’s scramble for survival.

‘Finding Neverland’ (2004)

Directed by Marc Forster from David Magee’s screenplay, this biographical drama stars Johnny Depp as playwright J. M. Barrie and Kate Winslet as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. Julie Christie, Dustin Hoffman, and Freddie Highmore appear in key supporting roles connected to the creation of Barrie’s most famous work.

The story dramatizes Barrie’s friendship with the Davies family and the imaginative play that shaped a landmark stage production. It moves between drawing rooms, parks, and theaters to show how personal relationships, rehearsals, and a producer’s backing align to bring a fantasy to life.

‘Men in Black’ (1997)

Barry Sonnenfeld directs this sci-fi comedy based on Lowell Cunningham’s comic, with a screenplay by Ed Solomon. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith star as Agents K and J, partners in a secret organization managing extraterrestrial activity on Earth. Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Rip Torn appear in key roles.

The plot introduces a covert bureaucracy handling alien immigration, technology, and cover-ups as a galaxy-threatening McGuffin triggers a chase across New York. Rick Baker’s creature effects, practical gags, and gadget-centric set pieces define the visual language, while supporting turns by Tony Shalhoub and others fill out the agency’s underworld.

‘Selena’ (1997)

Gregory Nava directs this musical biopic of Tejano star Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, with Jennifer Lopez in the title role and Edward James Olmos as Abraham Quintanilla. Jon Seda portrays Chris Pérez, Jackie Guerra plays Suzette Quintanilla, and Constance Marie appears as Marcella Quintanilla.

The film tracks the family band’s touring life, crossover ambitions, and studio work that led to chart success. Concert recreations, costuming, and music direction reconstruct landmark performances and the behind-the-scenes decisions of producers, label partners, and relatives who shaped the artist’s career.
