EVERY THURSDAY EVENING, we bring you three trailers for films that are due out in the cinema that weekend.
But with cinemas closed because of the coronavirus, here are three trailers for films you can catch on streaming services online.
Netflix: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
We all need a bit of soothing these days, and turning to classic films is one way to get your mind out of the news. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is now on Netflix, as of 1 April. Enjoy!
Mubi: Bacurau
This was recently in the cinema, but you can watch Bacurau on the streaming site Mubi. You can trial Mubi for free for a week if you want to decide whether to sign up. Bacurau is about a small village in Brazil that experiences a succession of sinister events.
iTunes: Sonic the Hedgehog
This film has just landed earlier than planned on streaming sites thanks to… you know what. It’s a live-action version of the video game that sees Sonic on earth trying to stop the evil Dr Robotnik. He joins forces with human Tom Wachowski (James Marsden) along the way.
What are you planning on streaming this weekend? Tell us in the comments.

Cancelled Cannes Film Festival, 50 shorts free with subs, no restrictions. http://www.myfrenchfilmfestival.com
@Mike McGann: nice one Mike, thanks for sharing.
IPTV all the way.
@RobbieL: even that’s getting tiresome
@RobbieL: shhhhh
I’m going to watch nothing but the news.
SXSW film festival will be streaming the movies on they were going to feature this year before they got cancelled due to the virus on Amazon Prime and they’ll be free. A lot of indie filmmakers have probably taken a bit hit due to the crisis and since we have the free time now I’d recommend giving a few of the films a shot when they come out on Prime. SXSW has a great track record as a launching pad for quality independent cinema
@Jake Kelly: if it’s on prime then how exactly is it free
@Jake Kelly: They are only free to amazon members who live in the U.S.
@Minamino: sign up for a free trial for a month. When I went to cancel I was offered a second month free so I just cancelled at the end of the second month.
Future of movies will be stream on demand…. for an extra charge you get same day cinema launch
None
Red dwarf on Netflix should finish it in between work
@Michael Gill: Just read a few minutes ago there’s an episode called Backwards where they talk backwards for the whole episode, mad. And if you play the sound in reverse they’re mocking you and stuff, might have to check it out.
@Football in the Groin: and not a bad eposide cant Netflix can we?
@Football in the Groin: the dvd has the Backwards episode played forward. The backwards talk is indeed mostly people insulting each other.
Watched Knives Out last night and a Brazilian movie called Trash the night before.
Both excellent and worth the watch ✌
@Tom: the cuban actress from knives out is playing marilyn monroe
