Obviously, the two need to warn the world
about humanity’s impending extinction and team with NASA scientist Dr. Teddy
Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan) to inform the US government. Unluckily for them (and
really the rest of the world), the US President is Janie Orlean (Meryll
Streep), a narcissistic woman who cares more about her self-image rather than
running the country.

Release date: 10 December 2021

Killers Of The Flower Moon

The movie is based on a book by the same
name by journalist David Grann. The book tells the story of a series of murders
that shook the oil-wealthy Native American community in the 1920s. This era
came to be known as the ‘Reign of Terror’. The astonishing passing of Mollie’s
sister launched the first major investigation into the killing spree. As far as
Killers Of The Flower Moon cast is concerned, Jesse Plemons will be seen as Tom
White, the lead FBI agent who is in charge of investigating the killings.

rancher.

Release Date: 2022

The true story about the origins of the
mafia in America follows Joe Petrosino — nicknamed the “Italian Sherlock
Holmes” — a New York cop who goes after the ruthless gang in the early 1900s.
The thugs (with the calling card black hand) migrated from Italy to America and kidnapped people to extort money from their families. They were loathed by
law-abiding Italian families who were frightened but nevertheless helped
Petrosino behind the scenes.

Revenant is attached to play Roosevelt, the 26th US president, in a film to be
directed by Martin Scorsese, with whom he’s already done five movies (The Wolf
of Wall Street, The Departed, Shutter Island, Gangs of New York and The

War hero and the 18th president, to be directed by Steven Spielberg, with whom
