But this isn't the playroom we remember. This time, our favorite toys are facing their most formidable foe yet: The Screen. As Bonnie grows older, her attention is captured by a sleek, addictive new tablet named Lilypad (voiced by Greta Lee). It’s a battle of plastic vs. pixels, exploring the "existential problem" of what it means to be a traditional toy in a high-tech world.
It’s a story that leans into the unsettling reality of the modern playroom. This isn't just a rescue mission; it’s a high-stakes heist against the digital age. Stanton crafts a narrative that asks the heavy questions: in a world of endless upgrades and glowing screens, is there still a place for something that doesn't need a charging cable? Expect the kind of bruised emotion and cinematic scale that reminds us why these characters have endured for over thirty years.
The biggest film release of 2026 - Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan’s next film, The Odyssey, is a mythic action epic shot across the world.
The Odyssey stars Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o, with Zendaya and Charlize Theron.
After his Oscar-winning portrait of Robert Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan moves from the atomic to the mythic with his adaptation of arguably the most famous ancient text. Homer’s heroic tale details the arduous, danger- filled journey of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, from the Trojan War back to his homeland, where his long-suffering wife Penelope awaits his return while fighting off a hoard of conniving suitors.
Along the way, the monarch and his dwindling army are faced with many of the Gods’ worst creations and temptations. Matt Damon leads an all-star cast in the must-see film of 2026.
The Odyssey is produced by Emma Thomas and Christopher Nolan for their company, Syncopy. The executive producer is Thomas Hayslip.

Five young mothers living in a shelter strive for a better future for themselves and kids amidst challenging upbringings, directed by the Dardennes.
Five adolescent mothers live together in a maternal support home in Belgium, in this poignant slice of social realism directed by the Dardennes brothers. Facing challenges such as drug addiction, potential adoption, precarious living situations and complex family relations, the women deal with their situations individually, but the home provides the tools, support and the community they need.
Drawing on extensive research at state-run facilities and consultation with local social workers, this richly moving and empathetic film won a screenplay award at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, and – like much of the brothers’ work – displays the poignancy and compassion seen in the work of Andrea Arnold and Ken Loach.

This is the fully authorised, soulful, and wry story of James, the iconic-yet-unlikely Manchester band that survived a chaotic decade of missteps and dysfunction to achieve massive success.
Formed in early 80s Manchester, a group of awkward misfits stumbled through a decade of false starts, bad decisions and infamous missteps – joining a cult, turning down the chance to tour with The Smiths and rejecting the legendary Factory Records – before breaking through with Sit Down.
Fuelled by an improvisational and chaotic approach to music, they built a remarkable catalogue over 40 years. Yet success deepened their dysfunction, leading to collapse at the millennium. But fans refused to let them die and after repairing their differences, they reunited in 2007, finding new life, bigger audiences and finally – a number one album. James: Getting Away With It features candid interviews with band members past and present, contributions from Chris Martin, Brian Eno and Jo Whiley, unseen archive footage and hilarious backstage scenes in the present day.
The film is a soulful and wry account of creativity, friendship and the mistakes that shaped one of the UK music’s most improbable success stories.
The film's producer, Ian Neil, will introduce the screening and then following the film he will be on stage for a live Q&A to discuss the film and answer audience questions.

Take It Or Leave It, originally released in 1981, is the highly entertaining and brilliantly nostalgic story of how Madness, one of the most successful and enduring British bands of all time, originally got together.
Filmed after Madness enjoyed a bunch of Top 10 singles, endearing themselves to the British public with the humour of their iconic music videos, the film travels back in time, chronicling how seven mates living in 1970s Camden Town formed a band. It details the jobs they left behind, the line-up changes, the rows, the laughs, and how their distinctive ska-pop ‘Nutty Sound’ evolved.
Featuring classic songs including One Step Beyond, Night Boat to Cairo and Embarrassment, the release will be supported by the band, alongside a brand-new trailer, a new quad poster and paid-for campaign.
The international hit musical comes to the big screen!

Filmed live on stage in London’s West End and featuring the original Broadway stars, HADESTOWN: THE MUSICAL invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back.

In the seedy underbelly of 18th-century Paris, money is king. Nothing is sacred – even love itself can be bought for the right price. A native of this hedonistic underworld, Manon is caught between twin desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Steadfast and devoted, he offers the possibility of an honourable life. Yet, the riches promised by the world of Parisian society remain tempting...
Manon’s inner turmoil and struggle for survival lie at the devastating heart of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel. In this signature work of The Royal Ballet, MacMillan’s nuanced understanding of human psychology makes for an unflinching look into the moral degradation of Manon’s Paris, while all its decadence and decay are brought to life through Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s designs.

Sparkling, dizzying, and deliciously potent, Fallen
Angels, Noël Coward’s champagne-fresh comedy of bad manners, shocked
and delighted audiences at its 1925 premiere. Two upper-class wives, their
husbands away for the day, share a few toasts to their pre-marital
dalliances—with the same man, who just may be en route from France to
visit. Old rivalries and past scandals bubble to the surface in this
intoxicating romp from one of theatre’s comedy masters.
Starring Golden Globe-winner Rose Byrne (If I Had
Legs I’d Kick You) and Tony Award winner Kelli O’Hara (The King
and I), with Tracee Chimo, Mark Consuelos (making his
Broadway debut), Christopher Fitzgerald and Aasif Mandvi, this
new Roundabout Theatre and Tony Award-winning production of ‘pure escapist fun’
(The New York Times) was filmed live on stage at Broadway’s Todd Haimes
Theatre and now comes to the big screen.

Horrifying and darkly comic, Rosemary’s Baby was Roman Polanski’s Hollywood debut. This wildly entertaining nightmare, faithfully adapted from Ira Levin’s best seller, stars a revelatory Mia Farrow as a young mother-to-be who grows increasingly suspicious that her overfriendly elderly neighbors (played by Sidney Blackmer and an Oscar-winning Ruth Gordon) and self-involved husband (John Cassavetes) are hatching a satanic plot against her and her baby. In the decades of occult cinema that Polanski’s ungodly masterpiece has spawned, it has never been outdone for sheer psychological terror.
