At home, Netflix is dropping 10 new bite-sized shorts as part of Love, Death + Robots volume 4, and there are multiple indie films coming to digital and on demand.
Final Destination Bloodlines (Friday, Theaters)
Almost 15 years after the fifth Final Destination hit theaters, we're finally getting a new one. By this point in the franchise, most viewers know what they're getting when they start watching a Final Destination movie. This one will keep true to the formula, albeit with connections to previous films and characters.
Based on the trailer, the film will delve into the beginnings of Death's vendetta, all based on one woman, Iris (Brec Bassinger), successfully diverting disaster after experiencing a premonition of a horrific tower collapse. The main story revolves around Iris's granddaughter, Stefani (Gabrielle Rose), experiencing something similar to Iris and turning to her for help and assistance in saving their family.
Love, Death + Robots season 4 (Thursday, Netflix)
Netflix's bold and entertaining anthology series returns this week with a delightful mix of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy stories within its latest collection. Featuring 10 original sorts, Love, Death + Robots volume 4 includes dinosaur gladiators, personified appliances, and so much more.
Presented by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and David Fincher, there is plenty to look forward to in these creative bite-sized installments. Each episode is produced by a different team, allowing for a wide range of artistic storytelling.
Hurry Up Tomorrow (Theaters)
It Comes at Night director Trey Edward Schults brings us his latest movie, a collaborative effort with musical artist Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye. Described as a musical psychological thriller, Hurry Up Tomorrow is a companion to The Weeknd's recently released abulm of the same name, which came out in January of this year.
The Grammy Award-winning musical artist plays a fictionalized version of himself in the film. He meets a mysterious stranger (Jenna Ortega) who pulls him into a "nightmarish odyssey." Barry Keoghan also stars.
Murderbot (Friday, Apple TV+)
This science fiction comedy series is based on the books by Martha Wells. Alexander Skarsgård plays the lead character, a security robot that develops the ability to think for itself and shows an inclination toward soap opera.
Murderbot would prefer to spend its time watching shows rather than dealing with dangerous work, but is also intrigued by the humans who employ these security cyborgs to assist. Apple TV+ will begin streaming the first two episodes on Friday, May 16, with new episodes releasing weekly until the July 11 finale.
