New movies: August
Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie
Release date: August 7 (worldwide)
The third film set to hit theaters in the hugely popular dog-based animated franchise, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie sees the titular heroes shipwrecked on a mysterious island filled with dinosaurs.
Alongside Rex, a pup who's been stranded on said isle for years, Marshall and the gang embark on another quest to stop perennial villain Mayor Humdinger from causing a nearby volcano to erupt and destroy everything in its path. One to take the kids to if you're looking for a reason to keep them quiet and/or entertained for 90 minutes or so during the school holidays.
Super Troopers 3
Release date: August 7 (worldwide)
The cult comedy classic is back — that's right, the Super Troopers will soon return to the big screen for their first film in eight years.
This time, the group have to contend with Farva's over-the-top Indian engagement to Thorny's sister, which the latter wants to thwart. Thrown in their investigation of a new drug ring, and you can expect plenty more slapstick moments and other comedic sequences in Super Troopers 3.
The End of Oak Street
Release date: August 14 (worldwide)
Anne Hathaway's busy year continues apace with this sci-fi thriller that also features Star Wars icon Ewan McGregor, Nashville's Maisy Stella, and Invincible voice actor Christian Convery.
Per a Warner Bros. press release, when their street is mysteriously relocated to a place inhabited by dinosaurs, the Platt family are forced to navigate their new world and, in the process, avoid becoming their reptilian neighbors' latest meal. I wonder if we'll get many — or, indeed, any — nods to other dino flicks like Jurassic Park...
Tony
Release date: August 14 (worldwide)
Inspired by the true story of culinary legend Anthoy Bourdain, this A24 biopic stars Dominic Sessa as the titular world-renowned chef.
A dramatization that charts his rise from cooking novice to one of the mos famous gourmet artists the world has ever seen, Tony will be worth chewing over for Bourdain's fanbase. Emilia Jones, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall, and Antonio Banderas also star in what'll likely be a film acclaimed by critics, but not one that'll be a box office blockbuster.
Insidious: Out of the Further
Release date: August 21 (worldwide)
The sixth installment in the supernatural horror film franchise, Insidious: Out of the Further stars Amelia Eve as Gemma, a young mother raising her daughter in the house that the former grew up in.
When Gemma learns she can travel to The Further — a realm haunted by lost souls — it isn't long before she decides to try and traverse it, with typically terrifying consequences. Expect numerous ties to other entries in the movie series.
Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
Release date: August 21 (worldwide)
The latest feature from visionary director Jane Schoenbrun, Teenage Sex... tells the tale of queer filmmaker Alis (Hannah Einbinder), who's handed the reins to dormant in-universe slasher film franchise Camp Miasma.
Convinced that the movie series needs its original star back, Alis visits the now-reclusive Billy (Gillian Anderson) to try and get involved — a meeting that soon leads to the pair falling into a, per Mubi's press blast, "blood-soaked world of fear, desire, and delirium."
The Dog Stars
Release date: August 28 (worldwide)
The final major release of the summer (or winter, if you live south of the equator), this Ridley Scott-helmed dystopian action-thriller, which adapts its book namesake, tells the story of young pilot Hig (Jacob Elordi).
Despite his harrowing past and the present-day scepticism of his fellow survivors, Hig still believes that some form of humanity exists somewhere in the world. Surprise surprise, it isn't long before he encounters Bangley (Margaret Qualley) and, separately, a mysterious radio signal that might offer hope for a better world and future. Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, Benedict Wong, and Alison Janney are among The Dog Stars' starry ensemble.
One Night Only
Release date: August 28 (worldwide)
Looking for a steamy rom-com before the last vestiges of summer arrive? One Night Only will be the film for you.
Featuring rising stars Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro, this Universal venture sees the pair play Owen and Allie, love-starved strangers whose worlds collide on the — get this — one night of the year that single people are allowed to have sex. Not a world I want to live in but, hey, you do you (no pun intended).
Anyway, following their chance encounter, as the night wears on and keeps these New York singles apart, you can expect a classic "will they, won't they" tale to emerge as the movie unfolds. Maya Hawke, Molly Ringwald, and Ben Marshall are among its supporting roster.
