Director Kirill Sokolov had a blast working on his new movie “They Will Kill You.” The horror-action-comedy, which he wrote and directed, is produced by Andy Muschietti, acclaimed director of horror hits including “It,” “It Chapter Two” and “Mama,” and features an ensemble cast that includes Zazie Beetz (“Invincible”), Tom Felton, Heather Graham and Patricia Arquette. 

“There was a real situation that inspired me for this script,” says Sokolov in a new featurette for the movie. Ten years ago, he and wife rented an apartment in a building where everyone seemingly knew each other. The situation kicked his imagination into overdrive. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they came and take us and sacrifice us and maybe that’s how will they prolong their lives. After that, we just fast-forward to this movie.”

In the blood-soaked, high-octane horror-action-comedy, a young woman (Beetz) must survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering in a uniquely brazen, big screen battle of epic kills and wickedly dark humor.

“What I really liked about the script is the very clear fun Kirill was having with this genre and with the story,” says Beetz in the featurette.

Adds Tom Felton (“Harry Potter” film series, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), “This script is so unique. There are so many elements of it that are not on anything that I’ve ever read before. ‘They Will Kill You’ has so many aspects to it – from family bonding, to Satanic cults.” 

Teases Beetz, “Get ready. It’s about to get bloody.”

Everyone is invited to visit The Virgil when “They Will Kill You” opens only in cinemas March 25, 2026.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES An all-female filmmaking team tackle transforming Colleen Hoover’s extraordinary novel, “Reminders of Him,” into a feature film

 

Now showing in PH cinemas

A powerful story of motherhood, guilt, and the power of love await in Reminders of Him, the film adaptation of #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover’s novel of the same name. The film stars Maika Monroe, Tyriq Withers, Lauren Graham, and Rudy Pankow.

At the helm of an all-female filmmaking team as director is Veronica Caswill, who had Hoover’s blessing in handling her story. “Vanessa had such a clear vision from the start,” Hoover says. “She understood the exact tone and feel I was hoping the film would have. She approached the film as an artist fully immersed in every detail. Watching her shape the story with that level of intention was incredible.” 

In charge of transforming Hoover’s written work into a screenplay is writer Lauren Levine, with Hoover collaborating every step of the way. Levine felt that Caswill’s vision was perfect for the novel, saying,” “Vanessa brings both poetry and precision to her work. Her use of color and light, and the way she collaborates with actors, gives every frame a sense of intimacy. She is European, telling a deeply American story, and that perspective adds dimension without creating distance. The material demands restraint, and Vanessa approached it with such honesty that the film never loses its balance.”

Reminders of Him is a story that starts with a tragic mistake, when Kenna (Maika Monroe) gets into a accident with her boyfriend that sends her to prison. She returns to her hometown in Wyoming seven years later, hoping to rebuild her life. Kenna also hopes to finally see her daughter, Diem, for the first time, who is in the custody of her paternal grandparents, Grace (Lauren Graham) and Patrick (Bradley Whitford). As tensions rise between the two parties, Kenna finds compassion, and a building romance in former NFL player and bartender Ledger (Tyriq Withers). As she forges her path towards redemption, heartbreak, and the hope for a second chance follows her.

Producer Gina Matthews joined the team soon after the project found its home in Universal, and was excited about how much everyone involved just clicked around the themes of the story. “I had a great meeting with Vanessa, Colleen and Lauren, and everything aligned very quickly,” Matthews says. “What stood out was the cohesion of the group. It was a female-led team at every level, working from a shared understanding of the material.”  

Director Caswill found Hoover’s work to be exhilarating to adapt, having directed other adaptations such as Little Women and Love at First Sight. . “One of the things I find most special about Colleen’s writing is that, even when she is dealing with very painful material, there is always a dry wit running through it,” Caswill says. “With a story this emotional, that balance matters. It cannot become relentlessly heavy, but it also cannot soften the weight of what these characters are going through. We were always aiming for that space in between. My instinct was to stay faithful to the book and trust that the visual language would come naturally from the material. If I could capture the heart of the story honestly, I was confident the film would find its own voice.”

Embark on a journey of healing and love as Reminders of Him is now showing in Philippine cinemas. Check out Universal Pictures PH (FB), UniversalPicturesPH (IG), and UniversalPicsPH (TikTok) for the latest news and updates.

The impossible is possible in “Project Hail Mary,” the film adaptation of Andy Weir’s hit sci-fi novel

 

COLUMBIA PICTURES

In PH cinemas March 18

Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller as Ryland Grace and Eva Stratt in Project Hail Mary

A journey light years away from our own galaxy awaits in Project Hail Mary, the film adaptation of Andy Weir’s (The Martian) hit sci-fi novel of the same name. Long time collaborators Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are at the captain’s seat as producers and directors of the film. The duo received the manuscript for Weir, and consumed it in record time. “We read it in 24 hours,” Miller says. “I stayed up all night. I think I went to bed at 5am because I had to find out what happened.”

Lord saw something special in the novel, and just knew that they had to helm the project. “It presents as a space adventure, a disaster movie, and then a third of the way through, it becomes an intimate character study between two individuals who have to learn how to communicate,” Lord says. “That shift is what makes it special.”

Check out the latest sneak peek vignette from Project Hail Mary: https://youtu.be/wOrCAfg8jpw

In Project Hail Mary, science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up in a spacecraft light years away from the solar system. Suffering from a bout of amnesia, his memory slowly returns, and his mission becomes clear: save humanity from a mysterious lifeform that seems to be draining the sun of its energy. He encounters an unlikely ally in the middle of his research, and together they might just have a shot against extinction. 

Weir had actually handed Gosling his manuscript for Project Hail Mary in early 2020, before the release of the novel. He’d already had a vision of Gosling portraying his main protagonist, but he also wanted the actor to consider producing the film as well. “It’s such an epic journey,” Gosling says. “And Ryland Grace is not stoic in any way. He's not brave in any traditional sense and he doesn't have any illusions about being a hero. But he keeps trying.”

Author Andy Weir on the set of Project Hail Mary

With that, Gosling was on board, and soon after a team started being formed. Alongside the Lord-Miller duo, producer Amy Pascal (Little Women, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) was tapped to be part of the developing team. Pascal had also read the novel, and was drawn to the human element of Weir’s work. “It’s about science, yes,” Pascal says. “But it’s also about faith – faith in people, faith in collaboration. We're living in a time where everyone is scared of each other. No one trusts each other. Nobody wants to listen to each other. Everybody's in their silos just believing what they believe and reading different newspapers and not opening themselves up to other people. This movie is about having to listen. You have to learn someone else's language. You have to understand where they're coming from, or you can't save the world.”

Producers and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller on the set of Project Hail Mary

Lord had the same feelings going into making the film, and hopes that they can create something truly inspirational. “We are living through a time where things can seem impossible, and this movie is about what is possible when people come together with imagination and goodwill,” Lord says.

Set off on a journey across galaxies Project Hail Mary arrives in Philippine cinemas on March 18.
