EVERY THURSDAY EVENING, we bring you trailers for films that are out this weekend.
Here are three trailers for films you can catch on streaming services, or on television. Cinemas opened this week, but some aren’t opening straight away – so keep an eye on local listings.
In The Earth
Ben Wheatley made this horror film during the pandemic. It’s set as a deadly virus ravages the world, when a scientist is sent to a government outpost to help in crop efficiency studies. You can imagine that things don’t go to plan…
The Reason I Jump
This film is based on the biography by Naoki Higashida, a nonverbal autistic person from Japan. Rather than focusing on Naoki’s story online, it takes in the experiences and voices of other autistic young people and their carers.
Supernova
Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci star as a longtime couple who are trying to deal with Tucci’s character’s young-onset dementia. It’s a slow-moving, emotional take on the topic, directed by Harry Macqueen.
Which one would you go see first?

I picked The Reason I Jump as I’m on the autism spectrum and have only recently learnt that most or many people wholly or partially relive (negative) experiences as they recall them, while I’ve simply labelled them with a score, which has led to a few awkward social situations, but now I understand why and I’m eager to learn more.
That said, Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci are both brilliant and the topic of Supernova is touching and significant, so I’ll definitely want to watch that too.
A cheery bunch.
One really wet day I watched Song for a Raggy Boy, Angelas Ashes and The Magdalene Laundries one after the other.
Had a couple of pints after.
I think I’ll listen to the new song from radiohead
What a sorry selection.
I’m heading to see….in the heights…has anyone seen it yet? I have heard good things!
@Gareth Miskelly: it’s brilliant, uplifting and refreshingly un-cynical plus the songs are all tunes
@Jake Kelly: I got excited and watched the trailer. It looks terrible. But then again I turned off Hamilton after 15 minutes. Rap musicals aren’t my thing. They’re cringe as hell.
@Thomas Smyth: Thomas, Thomas… you hurt my very soul with that comment. Im a Hamilton fanatic. Know almost all the lyrics.
Song for while I’m Away
Where is the “None” option, it applies to me at least.
