This is some duplicate content

Loving’s director Jeff Nichols, Of An Age’s Goran Stolevski, and The Northman’s Robert Eggers are back with stunning new films. And first-time feature filmmakers Zelda Williams and Kobi Libii introduce themselves with hilariously inventive comedies.

To get ready for the upcoming year, we’re spotlighting the eight films already on the slate for 2024.

Lisa Frankenstein | February 9

In time for Valentine’s Day comes a different type of love story. Penned by the Academy Award® winning screenwriter Diablo Cody and directed by Zelda Williams, this film follows the romance between a withdrawn teen (Kathryn Newton) and a dug-up re-animated corpse (Cole Sprouse), who is perfect—except for missing a few body parts. In Empire, Cody talked about how she flipped Mary Shelly’s classic monster story by asking the question, “What if a teenage girl had the ultimate sensitive guy who can’t talk?” Williams told Entertainment Weekly that the tale was “the most bonkers, wonderful zombie script I've ever read.”

Drive-Away Dolls | February 23

In Drive-Away Dolls—directed by Ethan Coen and co-written by Coen and Tricia Cooke—Jamie (Margaret Qualley) decides to head to Tallahassee after a bad breakup, bringing along her demure pal Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan). The two get more excitement than they bargained for when they discover their drive-away car is being pursued by an inept criminal gang. Filling out the cast are Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp, and Matt Damon. Dark and delirious, the movie is filled with bloody good fun.
