Survival gets personal in the newly released international trailer for Heart of the Beast, starring Brad Pitt and directed by acclaimed filmmaker David Ayer.
Pitt plays Special Forces officer James Belmont, who finds himself stranded in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness following a terrifying plane crash. By his side is Odin, his loyal combat dog and, under impossible circumstances, his most important ally.
A routine journey turns into a fight for survival when James Belmont and Odin are left isolated deep in Alaska after their plane goes down.
With harsh weather, dangerous terrain, and few signs of rescue, the pair must depend on their training and, more importantly, on each other.
The latest trailer puts their relationship front and center. Rather than simply facing the wilderness alone, James has Odin beside him every step of the way, creating an emotional partnership at the heart of the film’s intense survival story.
Trust becomes essential. Loyalty becomes their strength. And with danger closing in, their bond may be what ultimately keeps them alive.
An Intense Story of Loyalty and Survival
Known for gritty, high-stakes films, director David Ayer brings that same intensity to Heart of the Beast.
Written by Cameron Alexander, the adventure thriller explores more than the physical struggle to survive. Beneath the action is a story about companionship, courage, and the powerful connection between a soldier and his dog.
As James and Odin confront the brutal elements, the film asks how far determination and loyalty can carry them when the odds are stacked against them.
Behind ‘Heart of the Beast’
Paramount Pictures presents Heart of the Beast in association with Domain Entertainment and Gulfstream Pictures. The film is a Wild Chickens, Temple Hill, and Kino World production.
Executive producers are Damien Chazelle, Scott Lumpkin, Cameron Alexander, Chris Long, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, Andrew Lary, Sophie Cassidy, and Zack Conroy.
Cameron Alexander wrote the screenplay, with David Ayer directing.
When Does ‘Heart of the Beast’ Open in the Philippines?
Heart of the Beast arrives exclusively in Philippine cinemas on September 23.
With Brad Pitt leading the story alongside Odin, audiences can expect a gripping survival adventure built around danger, resilience, and one remarkably strong bond.
What happens when two strangers looking for something real meet on the one night when romance is supposedly off the table?
That is the playful premise behind “One Night Only,” the new romantic comedy from director Will Gluck, best known for Easy A and Anyone but You. Starring Academy Award nominee Monica Barbaro and BAFTA nominee Callum Turner, the film brings together chemistry, chaos, and a citywide string of mishaps in a story about finding love when you least expect it.
“One Night Only” opens in Philippine cinemas on August 26.
A Very Complicated Night for Two Hopeful Singles
Set in an ever-so-slightly fictionalized New York City, the film introduces audiences to Allie and Owen, two strangers who happen to cross paths on one particularly unusual evening.
On this night, single people are allowed to have sex without expectations or complications. At least, that is the idea.
Owen, recently dumped and still figuring out what comes next, meets Allie, a hopeful romantic who wants something deeper than a fleeting encounter. Against the odds, the two feel an immediate connection.
Then everything gets complicated.
A series of bad decisions, missed opportunities, unexpected detours, and bizarre side quests keeps pulling them apart. As they make their way across the city, each encounter brings them closer to realizing what they actually want.
And perhaps, who they want it with.
Watch the first trailer here:
Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner Bring the Sparks
Barbaro stars as Allie following acclaimed performances in A Complete Unknown and Top Gun: Maverick. Turner, known for Masters of the Air and the Fantastic Beasts films, takes on the role of Owen.
Together, the pair anchors a romantic comedy built around sharp banter, genuine vulnerability, and the wonderfully awkward uncertainty of making a connection with someone new.
Their story asks a simple but compelling question: If everyone around you is searching for something casual, what happens when you suddenly find something meaningful?
A Standout Ensemble Joins the Fun
Beyond its central pairing, “One Night Only” features an impressive cast packed with familiar names.
Joining Barbaro and Turner are Maya Hawke of Stranger Things, Julia Fox of Uncut Gems, musician and actor King Princess, Ziwe, and Saturday Night Live performer Ben Marshall.
The film also features beloved screen icons Molly Ringwald and Levar Burton, adding even more personality to an already colorful lineup.
With such an eclectic ensemble, the night is bound to become even more unpredictable.
Will Gluck Brings His Rom-Com Touch Back to the Big Screen
Known for mixing humor, romance, and larger-than-life personalities, Will Gluck returns to familiar territory with a new take on the modern romantic comedy.
Gluck co-wrote, directed, and produced “One Night Only,” based on a script by Travis Braun. He produces the film through Olive Bridge Entertainment alongside Jacqueline Monetta, vice president of Olive Bridge and an executive producer on Anyone but You.
This time around, Gluck puts the spotlight on two people trying to make sense of attraction, timing, and expectations during one anything-but-normal night.
The result is a witty and swoony story where romance refuses to follow the rules.
Could the Worst Night Become the Best One?
For Allie and Owen, the night begins with no promises.
But between the missed connections, emotional detours, and mounting chaos, something unexpected starts to take shape.
Maybe finding love is not about having the perfect plan. Maybe it is about meeting the right person at exactly the wrong time.
See how their unforgettable night unfolds when “One Night Only” arrives in Philippine cinemas on August 26.
For years, PAW Patrol has won over young audiences with stories about courage, teamwork, and helping others. Now, the beloved pups are heading into their biggest adventure yet, complete with dinosaurs, an erupting volcano, and an inspiring new friend named Rex.
Voiced by newcomer Heyden Chemberlen, Rex is an exceptional rescue pup who uses a dog wheelchair and knows just about everything there is to know about dinosaurs.
Kids all over the world love PAW Patrol because it inspires them to never give up, says Chemberlen, who makes his movie debut in PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie.
Chemberlen also shares something special with the character he voices.
We’re both in a wheelchair,” he shares. “We’re also both athletic, funny, smart, and creative.
Rex Joins the PAW Patrol for a Dino-Sized Mission
In PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, the pups find themselves far from home after their ship is caught in a mysterious storm. They eventually crash-land on an uncharted tropical island, only to discover that the place is filled with dinosaurs.
There, they meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years. During his time there, Rex has become an expert on its prehistoric residents, making him the perfect ally when trouble starts brewing.
And, as usual, Mayor Humdinger is not far behind.
The PAW Patrol’s longtime rival begins recklessly mining the island in hopes of exploiting its natural resources. His actions soon cause a massive dormant volcano to erupt, placing the island and everything living on it in danger.
With time running out, the pups are pushed into a series of huge, high-stakes rescues unlike anything they have faced before. Together with Rex, they must stop Humdinger and protect the island before it is too late.
Mckenna Grace Thinks Rex Is “Super Cool”
Mckenna Grace returns as Skye, and her character is once again part of the action.
We crash-land on this super mysterious island and discover that there’s dinosaurs,” she shares. “Rex is this super cool character that we meet, and he’s, like, friends with T-Rexes.
That connection to the island’s dinosaurs instantly makes Rex one of the most fascinating additions to the PAW Patrolcrew.
Terry Crews, who joins the voice cast as mining and explosives expert Alistair Stonewall, is just as enthusiastic about the new pup.
He’s amazing and absolutely fun! says Crews.
A Meaningful Big-Screen Debut
For Chemberlen, becoming part of the PAW Patrol world is especially meaningful because he grew up watching the series himself.
It’s fun to see him on the screen as I grew up watching PAW Patrol,” says Chemberlen about Rex. “It’s an amazing show that inspires a lot of kids, and it makes me happy to now be in it.
His casting also gives young audiences a new character who reflects determination, confidence, and capability while bringing plenty of personality to the adventure.
Rex may be new to the big screen, but his courage, humor, and love of dinosaurs make him feel right at home alongside the rest of the pups.

The thrilling first trailer for “Verity” has arrived, offering a chilling glimpse into a story where attraction, obsession, and deception become dangerously difficult to tell apart.
In “Verity,” promising writer Lowen Ashleigh, played by Dakota Johnson, accepts an opportunity to ghostwrite for famed author Verity Crawford, played by Anne Hathaway.
To immerse herself in Verity’s world and complete the unfinished work, Lowen relocates to the remote Crawford estate. What begins as a professional assignment soon takes a disturbing turn when she discovers what appear to be Verity’s deeply personal autobiographical notes.
And what she reads is anything but ordinary.
The pages contain chilling confessions involving Verity’s husband, Jeremy Crawford, played by Josh Hartnett, pulling Lowen deeper into a web of secrets, temptation, and uncertainty.
Watch the trailer:
Fiction, Reality, or Something More Sinister?
As Lowen spends more time inside the Crawford home, the boundaries begin to blur. Is Verity telling the truth? Are the confessions real? Or is someone carefully manipulating the story?
Caught between opportunity and obsession, Lowen must determine what she can believe while confronting her growing attraction to Jeremy.
With every revelation, “Verity” raises another unsettling question about truth, desire, and how easily a story can be shaped by the person telling it.
The truth will be revealed when “Verity” opens in Philippine cinemas on September 30.
About “Verity”
Adapted from Colleen Hoover’s best-selling novel, “Verity” follows renowned author Verity Crawford and Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity.
After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chilling autobiographical manuscript, she is confronted with disturbing and twisted confessions involving Verity’s husband, Jeremy. Soon, Lowen finds herself struggling to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.
Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, and Christian Convery star as a 1980s suburban family whose ordinary life takes a terrifying turn after their neighborhood is transported to a mysterious world filled with prehistoric dangers.
“The cast is phenomenal,” says Abrams.
“I’ve known Anne a little bit for a long time and have wanted to work with her forever. Ewan as well. So, this was a bit of a dream to get a chance to work with them both. The kids are wonderful as is the supporting cast.”
Abrams knows a thing or two about memorable ensembles. The filmmaker previously directed entries in the Star Warsand Star Trek franchises and created the hit television series Lost.
Watch the trailer here:
Anne Hathaway Takes Suspense to Another Level
Mitchell was equally thrilled when Hathaway and McGregor signed on to play the parents at the center of the story.
“I was so happy when I realized that both Anne and Ewan would be the husband and wife and the parents in this family,” shares Mitchell. “And the dynamic that they have, the chemistry that they have, the different shades that their personalities have were fantastic.”
While Hathaway is widely celebrated for her dramatic and comedic performances, Mitchell believes audiences will discover a different side of the Academy Award-winning actress in “The End of Oak Street.”
“Anne is just an amazing actress,” says the director. “I knew she’d be incredible if we were lucky enough for her to do it.”
The director was particularly impressed by Hathaway’s work during the film’s most frightening sequences.
“When we started to get to the suspense and danger and fear, she took it to another level, we all felt it, everyone watching. It was phenomenal, seeing her perform in that way.”
According to Mitchell, Hathaway brings remarkable emotional range to the role, moving naturally between strength, fear, pain, and determination.
“It’s believable. It’s real,” he says.
A Collaboration Nearly Eight Years in the Making
The admiration between Hathaway and Mitchell goes both ways.
After watching Mitchell’s critically acclaimed horror film “It Follows,” Hathaway asked to meet the filmmaker for lunch. During their conversation, Mitchell mentioned a future project he had in mind.
Nearly eight years passed before the screenplay for “The End of Oak Street” finally reached Hathaway.
She immediately connected with the story, setting in motion a collaboration that had been years in the making.
Ewan McGregor Brings Heart, Charm, and Courage
Mitchell also praised McGregor’s portrayal of Greg, a devoted husband and father trying to protect his family while confronting his own personal struggles.
“I was thrilled when Ewan agreed to play the role of Greg,” says Mitchell. “He brings a depth, a charm, a real love to this person who’s struggling about some elements of his life.”
McGregor’s warmth, Mitchell explains, helps viewers form an immediate connection with the Platt family.
“Ewan portrays that, and it’s really wonderful, and also this really caring husband, this dad… There’s a really loveable, wonderful quality that he has that really allows you entrance into the family and you really connect with them and care.”
Of course, playing Greg also required McGregor to take on plenty of demanding physical action.
“Fighting with the dinosaurs was always fun to do,” McGregor shares.
“Annie and I had some really long runs to do – over gardens, down streets, jumping fences, running over peoples’ front yards, careful not to put our ankle down a hole. But we had fun doing that.”
A Nostalgic Tribute to 1980s Family Thrillers
Beyond its creatures and large-scale action, Hathaway was drawn to the film’s nostalgic spirit.
“One of the things I love about this film is that it does remind me of those wonderful films from the ’80s, which were almost like family horror movies,” she shares.
These were suspenseful adventures that younger viewers could experience with their parents, offering just enough danger to make them feel brave and grown-up.
“Movies that were full of suspense, movies that you could watch with your parents, they weren’t too scary for you. You felt grown up and sophisticated and mature that you got to watch this movie where things that were scary were going on. I remember loving that feeling when I was a kid in the ’80s and the ’90s.”
That mix of family drama, suspense, humor, and spectacle is also what Abrams believes makes the movie ideal for the big screen.
“‘The End of Oak Street’ is a total thrill ride,” Abrams teases. “I’ve seen it with audiences. They scream and laugh and cry and cheer. It’s the sort of film that reminds you why you go to the movies.”
About “The End of Oak Street”
After a mysterious cosmic event tears Oak Street away from suburbia and transports the entire neighborhood to an unknown location, the Platt family discovers that survival depends on staying together.
As they explore their now-unrecognizable surroundings, the family must face extraordinary threats, including creatures that should have disappeared millions of years ago.
Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, “The End of Oak Street” stars Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, and Christian Convery.
The film is produced by J.J. Abrams, Hannah Minghella, Jon Cohen, David Robert Mitchell, Matt Jackson, and Tommy Harper. Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, Joanne Lee, and Leeann Stonebreaker serve as executive producers.

A 60-camera setup was used to bring audiences closer to the action, offering sweeping views of the stage, aerial performances, crowd reactions, and elaborate visual effects.

A Setlist Filled With Katy Perry Hits
The concert film features songs from across Perry’s career, including some of her most recognizable singles.

A mother’s face is supposed to bring comfort. In “Other Mommy,” it becomes the face of something terrifying.
Jessica Chastain takes on a chilling dual role in the upcoming supernatural horror film, playing both Ursula, the mother of a young girl named Bela, and a sinister entity that has copied her appearance.
Produced by James Wan and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, “Other Mommy” opens in Philippine cinemas on October 7.
A Familiar Face Hides a Dark Presence
At the center of the story is Bela, a young girl who begins interacting with a mysterious presence inside her home.
Looking almost exactly like Ursula, it slowly builds a relationship with Bela while creating fear, confusion, and suspicion within the family. What first appears familiar soon becomes deeply unsettling, especially as the entity’s true intentions begin to surface.
With the threat wearing the face of someone Bela trusts, separating love from danger becomes increasingly difficult.
Jessica Chastain Takes on Two Haunting Roles
Chastain portrays both Ursula and the supernatural being imitating her likeness.
Known for her performances in “Interstellar,” “Zero Dark Thirty,” and “It Chapter Two,” the multi-award-winning actress brings two strikingly different characters to life.
As Ursula, she plays a mother trying to protect her child from a threat that seems impossible to explain. As Other Mommy, she becomes the very source of that terror, turning a familiar voice, face, and presence into something sinister.
The result is a disturbing contrast between safety and fear, all embodied by the same actress.
“Other Mommy” is based on Josh Malerman’s 2024 New York Times bestselling novel, “Incidents Around the House.”
Malerman is also the author of “Bird Box,” the acclaimed horror novel that inspired a popular screen adaptation.
Told from the perspective of a child, “Incidents Around the House” explores family, trust, and the terror of realizing that something dangerous may already be living inside the home.
Its unsettling premise now comes to the big screen under the direction of Rob Savage.
A Strong Ensemble Enters Bela’s Nightmare
Joining Chastain in the film are Dichen Lachman of “Severance,” Arian Moayed of “Succession,” and Karen Allen of the “Indiana Jones” films.
Together, the cast brings Bela’s increasingly frightening world to life as the entity’s hold over the family grows stronger.
Behind the camera, producer James Wan lends his experience in modern horror to the project, while director Rob Savage brings the story’s childlike perspective and creeping dread to the screen.
As Bela becomes more attached to Other Mommy, the danger inside the house becomes harder to ignore.
And when the monster looks exactly like your mother, who can you trust?
Don’t Be Fooled by Her Face
“Other Mommy” transforms the image of a loving parent into the center of a supernatural nightmare.
With Jessica Chastain playing both protector and threat, the film promises a tense and unsettling horror experience built around one frightening question: What if the person who looks like your mother is not your mother at all?
“Other Mommy” opens in Philippine cinemas on October 7.
