Preview by Jon Donnis

Finding Emily arrives in UK cinemas on May 22, bringing a mix of romance, humour and campus chaos built around one small mistake that sets everything in motion.

The story follows a lovesick musician who is accidentally given the wrong number for the girl he believes is his dream match. Instead of walking away, he joins forces with a focused psychology student and the pair set out to track her down. Their search quickly snowballs into a campus wide frenzy, stirring up confusion and excitement while quietly testing their own hearts and ambitions along the way.

Spike Fearn and Angourie Rice lead the cast, with Alicia MacDonald directing. The film is produced for Working Title by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, whose past titles include Bridget Jones, About Time, Love Actually and Notting Hill. Across their work, those films have earned 14 Academy Awards and six Best Picture nominations. Olivier Kaempfer also produces, following credits that include Lollipop and Polite Society.

With its mistaken number set up and two unlikely partners at the centre, Finding Emily frames a simple idea that spirals into something bigger, blending romance and comedy as the chase unfolds across campus.

PREVIEW: The Death Of Robin Hood (2026 Film) - Starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer

Preview by Jon Donnis

The legend of Robin Hood has been told countless times, but this new film takes a very different path. The Death of Robin Hood is a darker reimagining of the familiar tale, stripping away the romance and heroics to focus on the cost of a life shaped by violence. Coming soon to UK and Ireland cinemas, the film is released by True Brit Entertainment and A24.

Directed by Michael Sarnoski, whose previous work includes Pig and A Quiet Place. Day One, the film leans into a more grounded and introspective tone. This is Robin Hood set firmly of its time, a world that feels worn down by bloodshed and regret rather than adventure.

Hugh Jackman takes on the role of Robin Hood, presenting the character as a battleworn loner haunted by his past. After a life defined by crime and murder, this version of Robin is left gravely injured following a battle he believed would be his final stand. Stripped of certainty and strength, he is forced to confront what remains of the man behind the legend.

Jodie Comer stars as a mysterious woman who becomes central to Robin's fate. In her care, he is offered something he may never have believed possible. A chance at salvation. Their connection forms the emotional core of the story, suggesting redemption may still exist even for those who feel beyond saving.

The supporting cast adds further weight to the film, with Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett and Noah Jupe all featured. Together, they help build a version of this world that feels harsh, intimate and unflinching.

The Death of Robin Hood promises a thoughtful and unsettling take on a well known myth. Rather than celebrating the legend, it examines the damage left behind when the fighting ends. This is not a story about becoming a hero. It is about facing the consequences of being one.
