Deepwater Horizon
Peter Berg’s upcoming disaster thriller Deepwater Horizon gives faces to the men and women who were aboard the titular drilling rig when it was rocked by an explosion. The blast ignited a fireball visible from 40 miles away, led to 11 casualties and created the largest oil spill in American history.
Mark Wahlberg plays Deepwater Horizon’s southern-drawled crewman Mike Williams. Written by Matthew Michael Carnahan and Matthew Sand, the film also stars Kurt Russell, Gina Rodriguez, John Malkovich, and Kate Hudson.
In cinemas September 30

Transformers: The Last Knight
Michael Bay’s blockbuster series has earned a staggering $3.7 billion worldwide to date, so there’s no chance of them giving up on the franchise just yet. That’s why we’re getting the fifth film in 2017, Transformers: The Last Night, and we don’t expect it to be the last either.
Wahlberg is back to lead the cast, and Josh Duhamel returns to the franchise too. Laura Haddock, Anthony Hopkins and Isabela Moner also join the cast.
From a post on Michael Bay’s Instagram account, it’s also been revealed that Megatron — the leader of the Decepticons — will apparently return in the new Transformers movie. But that’s as much as we know about the plot so far.
The film is expected in cinemas June 2017.
Daddy’s Home 2
The ending of Daddy’s Home certainly suggested that there would be a sequel, and it looks like it is coming. Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg will return as Brad and Dusty. Beyond that, not much has come forward in terms of plot details or information as to where the story may go from here.
