Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson finally takes on an opponent that is bigger than him in this almighty blockbuster.

Johnson plays primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, albino silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth.

But when a rogue genetic experiment goes awry, this gentle ape mutates into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse the same thing has happened to an alligator and a wolf in other parts of the country. To try and save the day, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote and avoid getting crushed to death.

Starring alongside Johnson and Harris are Malin Åkerman, Joe Manganiello, Jake Lacy, Marley Shelton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Brad Peyton, who previously directed Johnson in San Andreas, is in the director's chair.

Natalie Dormer stars in this dark new series. 

The six-parter is an adaptation of Joan Lindsay's 1967 novel of the same name about a group of schoolgirls who, while on an outing to Australian tourist trap Hanging Rock, mysteriously disappear.

Lily Sullivan, currently starring in the TV take on Romper Stomper, and Orange is the New Black's Yael Stone are among Dormer's co-stars.  

Diane Kruger leads this dark thriller, which scored a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film earlier this year.

Kruger plays Katja, a woman who heads out for revenge after her husband and son are killed in a bomb attack.

The movie takes its title from Queens Of The Stone Age’s song of the name, which is fitting as it has a score from Queens frontman Joshua Homme.

War And Peace’s Jessie Buckley and folkster turned actor Johnny Flynn take centre stage in this drama from rising writer/director Michael Pearce.

Buckley plays Moll, a troubled young woman who falls for Pascal, a mysterious outsider who empowers her to escape from her oppressive family.

When her new friend is accused of a series of brutal murders, Moll leaps to his defence, but is there more to the story?
