A Reel Preview: The Year in Film 2026 - Episode III




Movie Siberia has ended, and March has arrived. Even though we will be bombarded with wretched Spring weather for the next two months, theatres should be busy with a full slate of highly anticipated films, starting this month. There will be yet another adaptation of Frankenstein, the return of Pixar, an adaptation of a popular sci-fi novel…and much more. There is also the re-release of THE MUMMY RETURNS for its 25thanniversary, and the 98th Academy Awards. Here now is a preview for the cinematic month of March: 

 

THE BRIDE! – Maggie Gyllenhaal directs this adaptation of Frankenstein set in 1930’s Chicago, where the monster (Christian Bale), asks his creator (Annette Benning), to create a bride for him. The rest of the cast includes Peter Sarsgaard, Jessie Buckley, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penelope Cruz. 

 

 

HOPPERS – Disney and Pixar are back on the big screen with this original tale where the mind of a human is transferred into a robotic beaver to communicate with animals. 

 

 

PROJECT HAIL MARY – In this adaptation of the popular sci-fi novel, Ryan Gosling is sent into deep space to save our sun before it dies. It is directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (THE LEGO MOVIE). 

 

 

READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME – In this sequel to the 2019 comedy/horror romp, Grace (Samara Weaving), finds out that her surviving the events of the first film comes with a price. The rest of the cast includes Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Elijah Wood. 

 

 

THEY WILL KILL YOU – Zazie Beetz (JOKER), plays a housekeeper who enters a community where people have been disappearing. Tom Felton and Heather Graham co-star.
