During the next mission, one of the clones, Mickey 17, is mistakenly considered dead and replaced prematurely, but he finds his way back to the colony. The situation takes an unpredictable turn when Mickey 17 meets his 18th replacement.
In his new film, the Oscar-winning director of «Parasites», Pong Joon-ho, draws inspiration from Edward Ashton’s sci-fi novel «Mickey 7», which will hit bookstores in 2022. Here, from the South Korean filmmaker, you should definitely expect is a caustic satire on capitalism, and the lead actor Robert Pattinson — an interesting performance, as he has to transform into several characters at once. We also note the obvious analogies with the British film «Moon» with Sam Rockwell.

The hero is faced with a difficult choice — whether to side with his beloved or his country.
Well, at least not «Black Doves» — and it’s already good. The spy thriller from Steven Soderbergh, with a good cast of Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett — sounds promising. The local plot looks like another version of the story in the spirit of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, so let’s see how interesting the on-screen duo of star performers will be. For Fassbender, by the way, this is his second consecutive spy project after the «The Agency».

After working on video game adaptations «Resident Evil» and «Monster Hunter», the creative tandem and also spouses Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich decided to finally move away from computer games. This time, they turned to George Martin’s short story of the same name, which is the basis for the movie.

«Blind Leave» is the debut feature film for director Valeria Fedeeva, as well as the first film role for popular singer Lida Li.

Release: digital services
The movie takes place in Los Angeles in the 1990s. An unknown young man breaks into the house of pop star Sofia, convinced that they are getting married. The intruder begins to behave inappropriately, while the dazed singer tries to escape from the obsessive fan.
It seems that in this comedy thriller, which is the debut of director Jimmy Worden, Ray Nicholson has taken on cosplay his famous father, playing the role of an unrestrained madman stalker. We mention madness for a reason, because nothing else but it from producer «Saltburn» and screenwriter «Cocaine Bear» is probably not worth waiting for. This is not the first time that I have played the role of a frightened victim after «Ready or Not» and «Azrael» Samara Weaving will speak.
«The Shrouds»
Genre: horror movie
Premiere date: March 20
Release: movie theaters
Karsh, a 50-year-old well-known businessman, cannot come to terms with the death of his wife. He invents a revolutionary and controversial technology called GraveTech, which allows him to monitor the dead. One night, several graves, including the grave of Karsh’s wife, are vandalized, and the protagonist sets out to find the criminals.
«The Shrouds» — a new horror film with elements of science fiction from the recognized master of the genre, in particular body horror, David Cronenberg. Famous faces gathered on the set — Guy Pearce, Vincent Cassel and Diane Kruger. For the latter two, this is their second consecutive collaboration after the recent «Saint-Exupéry», where the actors portrayed a married couple.
In an interview, Cronenberg described the film as very «personal» and «autobiographical». Its plot was inspired by the director’s own grief, provoked by the death of his wife Carolyn in 2017.
«Novocaine»
Genre: comedy action thriller
Premiere date: March 20
Release: movie theaters
Nathan Kane — a good guy with a rare disorder — congenital analgesia. He has to save the girl of his dreams who was taken hostage during a bank robbery. And being painless should help him in this difficult mission.
After a very decent «Companion» Jack Quaid continues to prove that he is not «The Boys» the only ones. The actor’s partners on the set were Amber Midfinder, who was not afraid to challenge the Predator himself in «Prey», and the aforementioned Ray Nicholson.
«Flight Risk»
Genre: thriller, action movie
Premiere date: March 20
Release: movie theaters
U.S. Marshal Madeline Harris is escorting the government’s witness Winston to court. During the flight, she discovers that the pilot transporting them is actually a hit man sent to kill the informant. And later it turns out that there are other mercenaries trying to eliminate him. This makes for an extremely tense flight. Judging by disappointing ratings of this movie, I have to say with regret that Mel Gibson has made a mediocre movie at most.
«Snow White»
Genre: musical fantasy
Premiere date: March 20
Release: movie theaters
A live-action adaptation of the classic Disney cartoon «Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs» from 1937, which, in turn, is based on the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm, hardly needs a plot description. Much more interesting here is the information that, for example, the trailer collected more than a million dislikes on YouTube and the controversy and negative reactions online about many aspects of the upcoming film, including the choice of Rachel Zegler for the lead role, have not subsided.
All of this is reminiscent of the situation with Disney’s previous project of a similar kind — «The Little Mermaid», which also received a lot of hate before the movie’s release. Disney is very good at shaking things up.
«McVeigh»

Premiere date: March 21
Release: digital services

However, he is forced to recall his professional skills to find his boss’s teenage daughter Jenny, who has been kidnapped by human traffickers.

Perhaps the characterization «a movie with Jason Statham» will be enough to get an idea of what kind of movie awaits us. But let’s also add that the script was written by guys who are well versed in old-school action movies — David Ayer and Sylvester Stallone — and is based on the novel «Levon’s Trade» (2014) by Chuck Dixon. Statham has worked with both filmmakers before, most recently — Eyre directed last year’s «The Beekeeper», and the actor shared the set with Sly «Expend4bles» a year earlier.

But later on, the heroine rethinks her attitude to what she had previously considered an unquestionable truth.
The new project from the well-known Studio «Kvartal 95», which gave the world «Servant of the People», is, as the authors of the film note, a kind of «vaccination against the Russian world». The brainwashing of Skabeeva will begin on March 27.
