The Comeback We’ve Been Waiting For
Reuniting the original comedic firepower that made the franchise a pop culture sensation, Scary Movie delivers a fearless and high-energy return that horror fans—and comedy lovers—won’t want to miss.
Sharpening its satire for a new generation while honoring its outrageous roots, the film promises massive laughs, shocking gags, and the kind of unapologetic humor that only the Wayans can deliver.
Scary Movie opens in Philippine cinemas on June 10.
When a novel captures millions of readers worldwide, bringing it to the big screen requires more than star power—it demands emotional truth. For the film adaptation of Reminders of Him, #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover made a decisive choice, personally selecting Maika Monroe and Tyriq Withers to portray Kenna Rowan and Ledger Ward.
With Hoover closely involved as co-writer and producer, the transition from page to screen becomes something intimate and intentional. Joining Monroe and Withers is an impressive supporting cast including Rudy Pankow, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Graham, and Bradley Whitford—each adding depth to this powerful cinematic experience.
And just like that, a beloved story finds a new voice.
A Mother’s Return and a Community’s Resistance
At the heart of Reminders of Him is Kenna Rowan, a young woman returning to her hometown after serving five years in prison for a tragic accident. Time has passed, but the consequences remain.
Kenna’s singular hope? To meet her daughter, Diem—the child she has never seen.
However, Diem’s custodial grandparents stand firm, determined to shield the young girl from the painful past. Every attempt Kenna makes to reconnect is met with resistance. Is redemption possible when trust has been shattered?
Amid the tension, an unexpected ally emerges: Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and former best friend of Kenna’s late boyfriend, Scotty. Caught between loyalty to the past and compassion for Kenna’s present, Ledger becomes the emotional bridge in a fractured community.
Layered with heartbreak, longing, and fragile hope, the story unfolds as a poignant exploration of forgiveness and second chances.
Maika Monroe Captures Kenna’s Fragile Strength
Taking on a role as emotionally demanding as Kenna requires restraint, nuance, and vulnerability—qualities Colleen Hoover immediately recognized in Maika Monroe.
“Maika captured that perfectly in her audition,” co-writer and producer Colleen Hoover says. “She has this incredible ability to hold back until the emotion needs to surface. When it does, it’s beautiful. Even in moments of silence, she is doing so much. I cannot imagine anyone else playing Kenna.”
Known for her performances in Longlegs and The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Monroe approached the role with careful preparation. Turning repeatedly to Hoover’s novel, she sought to understand the unspoken layers beneath Kenna’s dialogue.
“It was incredibly helpful to have the book as a reference,” Monroe says. “There is a level of detail there that you cannot always get from a script. I turned to it often, especially before scenes where Kenna says very little.”
Kenna’s transformation—before and after the accident—is stark. Once lively and carefree, she returns home guarded, shaped by grief and guilt.
“Before the accident, she is fun and full of life, and her relationship with Scotty feels easy. Afterward, she is completely changed. That kind of trauma never leaves you. Even in your happiest moments, there is still pain underneath that never fully goes away.”
Subtle yet stirring, Monroe’s portrayal promises to anchor the film in authenticity.
Tyriq Withers Brings Depth to Ledger Ward
Opposite Monroe, Tyriq Withers steps into the role of Ledger Ward—a former NFL player who returns to Laramie to help care for Diem, the daughter of his deceased best friend.
Ledger is steady on the surface, but beneath that strength lies unresolved grief.
“Ledger needed to feel believable as a former football player, but also emotionally grounded. Tyriq has that presence. He brings strength, warmth and a surprising sensitivity. He kept rising to the top of every conversation,” says producer Gina Matthews.
For Withers, the connection to the character was immediate and personal.
“What drew me to Ledger was how closely his story mirrors parts of my own life,” Withers says. “He is carrying grief while trying to be strong for everyone around him. There is a weight he does not talk about. Playing him allowed me to explore my own experiences and learn more about how I cope, how I love, and how I move through pain.”
Having Hoover present during production added another layer of assurance.
“Having Colleen there was incredible,” Withers says. “She is open and generous, and that gave me confidence. When the person who created the character tells you, ‘You are Ledger,’ it allows you to trust your instincts completely.”
An Emotional Journey Worth Experiencing
With its carefully chosen cast, faithful storytelling, and Hoover’s creative guidance, Reminders of Him promises to resonate deeply with longtime fans and new audiences alike.
Tender yet unflinching. Heartbreaking yet hopeful. Ultimately, a reminder that forgiveness is rarely simple—but always transformative.

While attending a party, Academy Award nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal noticed a tattoo of the Bride of Frankenstein. Instantly, a question formed: How had a character with barely any screen time become such a lasting symbol in pop culture?
“I saw this tattoo of the Bride of Frankenstein at a party and I thought, “Something about this character has captured our culture,’” says Academy Award nominee Gyllenhaal. “And I then went back and watched the movie [“Bride of Frankenstein” (1935)] for the first time, because I had never seen it, and I found it really interesting that she’s not really in it. I will say Elsa Lanchester makes a real impact. I mean, she’s in it for three minutes, but she has somehow taken the culture by storm. But to be honest, she doesn’t talk. She doesn’t speak. She doesn’t get an opportunity to express herself. And I thought it was an interesting puzzle. This guy [Frankenstein] understandably is so lonely looking for a mate. But then, just anyone will do, and bringing someone back who doesn’t have any agency herself. So, what happens if you take that same format, that same story, but you give her a huge amount of agency, and give her a huge amount of need, and intelligence, and soulfulness, and vulnerability, and power? Then what happens? That seemed like a puzzle worth getting into.”
That absence became the seed of something bold.
What if the Bride had agency? What if she possessed intelligence, vulnerability, longing, and immense power? What if she wasn’t simply created to cure someone else’s loneliness—but had desires of her own?
With The Bride!, Gyllenhaal transforms that compelling question into an electrifying cinematic experience.
Watch the trailer here:
A Revolution Born in 1930s Chicago
Set against the gritty backdrop of 1930s Chicago, The Bride! follows a lonely Frankenstein (Academy Award winner Christian Bale) who seeks the help of groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious, played by five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening.
Together, they revive a murdered young woman.
And the Bride is born.
But what unfolds is far from the obedient companion Frankenstein imagined. Instead, she emerges as a force—complex, searching, alive with purpose. What follows spirals into murder, possession, a radical cultural movement, and a volatile romance between two outsiders trying to define love on their own terms.
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, the film is a daring reinvention that pulses with urgency and emotion.
Jessie Buckley’s Fierce Transformation
Taking on the titular role is Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley, whose magnetic performance promises to leave audiences shaken and inspired.
“It’s intense. It’s a wild abandoned life force. It’s passion on the brink. It’s a revolution. It’s a new language!” Buckley says.
This Bride refuses to settle for half-truths or half-love. Reborn into a fractured world, she demands autonomy and authenticity. She seeks not just connection—but the full story.
“It’s giving voice to The Bride who has never been given a voice before. She’s not satisfied to just be reinvigorated as mate. She wants autonomy of the self. And goes on a journey to discover herself in this world so she can be fully in a relationship with Frank. She wants the full story. She can’t be in a relationship that’s half-full. She wants the whole truth, because I think once she’s reborn, she demands absolute life, and absolute love. And it isn’t perfect. It’s a risk, y’know to live and love like that! Our potential to do all sorts of things is huge, and the bride and frank do some fucked up things. But it isn’t without consequence.”
And that kind of living? It comes with risk.
Flawed, unpredictable, and fiercely human, the Bride’s journey becomes a powerful exploration of identity, desire, and consequence.
Crafted for IMAX, Designed for the Heart
Though epic in scope, Gyllenhaal made one thing clear: spectacle would serve emotion—not overshadow it.
“Instead of having it be only this big world-building set piece, or this big action sequence, we instead decided to grow where it made sense emotionally,” says Gyllenhaal in a new IMAX featurette for the film.
The film’s expanding frame mirrors the emotional shifts of its characters, creating a visceral experience that feels deeply immersive.
“We built the expanding of the frame to coalesce with emotional shifts and changes. You feel it, like in your chest. It’s got the roller coaster aspect that I think IMAX offers. But then it has this other aspect of cracking open your heart… It’s trippy.”
Christian Bale echoes the excitement: “I can’t wait to see that.”

She was once created. Now, she defines herself. #TheBrideMovie
From bookstore shelves to cinema screens, Reminders of Him is making an extraordinary leap. First published in 2022, Colleen Hoover’s emotionally charged novel has sold more than six million copies in the United States alone and has been translated into 45 languages. Now, the story that captured millions of hearts is reimagined as a feature film set to open in Philippine cinemas on March 11.
Tender yet powerful, the adaptation explores motherhood, forgiveness, and the resilient strength of love in the face of unimaginable loss.
A Visionary All-Female Creative Team
Bringing this poignant story to life is an all-female filmmaking team led by director Vanessa Caswill, whose sensitive storytelling anchors the film’s emotional depth. The screenplay is penned by Lauren Levine and Colleen Hoover herself, ensuring that the spirit of the novel remains intact while embracing the cinematic form.
The film stars:
Maika Monroe as Kenna
Tyriq Withers
Laren Graham
Bradley Whitford
With a cast this compelling, the adaptation promises layered performances that echo the raw honesty of the book.
A Devastating Mistake and a Long Road Home
At the heart of Reminders of Him is Kenna Rowan (Maika Monroe). What begins as a seemingly perfect outing with her boyfriend takes a tragic turn—one irreversible mistake sending her to prison.
Seven years later, newly released, Kenna returns to a community that refuses to forget. Determined but vulnerable, she attempts to rebuild her life from the ground up. Most importantly, she hopes to reconnect with her daughter, Diem—a child she has never had the chance to know.
Yet forgiveness does not come easily. Trust must be earned. And as Kenna fights to prove she has changed, the film tenderly asks whether love can truly heal even the deepest wounds.
Inspired by Real Conversations
The idea for Reminders of Him began with Hoover’s younger sister, who was studying prison reform in graduate school. Their conversations left a lasting impression.
“We talked a lot about what people go through after they get out,” Hoover says. “She was so passionate about it that it stayed with me. After one of those conversations, I felt compelled to write about a woman whose life is shaped by a tragedy that sends her to prison, and what it means to try to rebuild her life after she is released.”
From those discussions emerged Kenna—a flawed yet deeply human mother fighting for redemption.
Hoover’s own experiences shaped the emotional core of the story.
“My experiences as a mom influenced this story a lot,” Hoover says. “I was immediately drawn to Kenna and her longing to be part of her daughter’s life. I cannot imagine having a child and not being able to be in their life.”
A Deeply Personal Adaptation
Producer and co-writer Lauren Levine immediately recognized the cinematic potential of the novel.
“When we worked on Confess, Colleen came to set and immediately stood out for how instinctively she understands film and television,” Levine says. “Every question I asked was met with an answer that pushed the material further. Over time, we developed a great creative shorthand. When I read Reminders of Him, I ended up in a puddle of tears, which does not happen often to me. I called Colleen right away and said, ‘I think this is a movie.”
Having previously collaborated on Confess, Levine admired Hoover’s instinctive understanding of visual storytelling.
Throughout production, Hoover remained closely involved in refining the screenplay.
“I did not anticipate rewriting as much as I did,” Hoover says. “But being there every day meant I could see immediately when something was not working, or when Vanessa or the actors had questions. We could talk through it and adjust in the moment. That responsiveness became one of the most rewarding parts of the process for me.”
The result is a film adaptation shaped with care, collaboration, and authenticity.
Love, Loss, and the Hope of Second Chances
While tragedy sets the story in motion, love sustains it. The film thoughtfully explores the many forms love can take—between parent and child, between romantic partners, and among friends bound by loyalty and shared pain.
Hoover reflects:
“I have always been drawn to stories that tell the truth and still leave room for tenderness,” Hoover says. “Stories that make you feel everything all at once. This one lives in the messiness of love and the aftermath of tragedy, but it also believes in connection. It believes that even when nothing comes easily, people can still find their way back to themselves, and to each other.”
In that belief lies the film’s quiet power. Even when reconciliation seems impossible, even when the past casts a long shadow, hope remains.
Catch It in Cinemas on March 11
Emotional, resonant, and ultimately uplifting, Reminders of Him arrives in Philippine cinemas on March 11. Fans of the novel—and newcomers alike—can expect a moving cinematic experience that lingers long after the final scene.
Some stories stay with you forever. This is one of them.
A nursery rhyme has never sounded this terrifying.
Taiwan’s No. 1 supernatural horror blockbuster, Mudborn, is set to send shivers through Philippine cinemas beginning March 18. Brought to local audiences by Encore Films Philippines, this horror-mystery-thriller sensation promises a gripping cinematic experience that echoes long after the final scene.
Because sometimes, the scariest stories start with a song.
A Doll That Should Have Been Left Behind
At the heart of Mudborn is Hsu-Chuan (Yo Yang), a VR game developer who unknowingly carries home more than just a souvenir from a haunted attraction—a broken clay baby doll.
What appears harmless at first quickly turns unsettling.
His pregnant wife, Muhua (Cecilia Choi), an artifact conservator with a meticulous eye for restoration, becomes increasingly captivated by the doll. Piece by piece, she repairs it. Crack by crack, she restores its fragile form.
Yet with every careful touch, something ancient and sinister seems to awaken.
Soon, inexplicable events begin to plague their home. Shadows linger too long. Whispers echo without source. A presence—unseen yet undeniable—tightens its hold on their lives.
Desperate and terrified, the couple seeks the help of a psychic exorcist to uncover the truth. What they discover is far more horrifying than they imagined: a forbidden curse bound to a haunting nursery rhyme and a malevolent spirit desperate to claim a human host.
Watch the Trailer here:
The Sinister Secret Behind the Rhyme
Director SHIEH Meng-ju found inspiration in an unlikely place—a familiar children’s rhyme. When asked whether a mysterious story lay hidden within its lyrics, the idea immediately fascinated him.
As he examined each line more closely, the innocence began to unravel.
“The clay baby doll has eyes but doesn’t blink” and “It’s actually not a real doll”
Suddenly, the words felt different—darker, heavier, more disturbing. From this eerie reinterpretation, SHIEH shaped Mudborn into a chilling tale told through the perspective of a clay baby doll possessed by an evil spirit seeking rebirth.
By transforming something nostalgic into something nightmarish, the film taps into a deeply unsettling fear: what if the things we once trusted were never truly harmless?
A Haunting That Lingers
Blending supernatural horror with psychological tension, Mudborn builds dread with precision. It is not merely about what is seen—but what is sensed, what is whispered, what is waiting.
Atmospheric and relentless, the film delivers powerful scares while exploring themes of obsession, motherhood, and the unseen forces that bind the living to the dead.
And when the lights come back on?
The rhyme remains.
Horror fans across the Philippines are invited to witness Taiwan’s most talked-about supernatural blockbuster when Mudborn opens in cinemas nationwide on March 18.
Prepare for a chilling experience where innocence turns ominous—and a simple rhyme becomes a curse.

This Valentine’s season, romance turns darkly irresistible as “Wuthering Heights” storms into cinemas, led by Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi and written and directed by Emerald Fennell (Saltburn). Opening in Philippine cinemas on February 11, 2026, the film promises a love story that is as provocative as it is unforgettable.
“For me, the first time you see ‘Wuthering Heights’ should feel like this fever dream,” says Fennell in the newly released “Tickets on Sale” featurette, teasing the emotional intensity of her daring adaptation of Emily Brontë’s iconic novel.
Robbie, who stars as Cathy Earnshaw and also serves as producer, perfectly captures the film’s energy in just three words: “Twisted, provocative, romantic.” And judging by early glimpses, audiences are in for a gripping cinematic experience that refuses restraint.
Watch the “Tickets on Sale” Featurette here:
A Passion That Refuses to Behave
Set against the harsh, unforgiving moors, Wuthering Heights tells the story of a love that defies society, reason, and time itself. At its core is the volatile bond between Cathy Earnshaw and Heathcliff—two kindred spirits bound by obsession and longing, yet doomed by pride and circumstance.
Cathy, raised amid neglect and isolation, yearns for beauty, wealth, and recognition, yet remains fiercely loyal to the one constant in her life: Heathcliff. Their connection is intense and all-consuming, but when ambition and temptation enter the picture, love begins to fracture.
Years later, Heathcliff returns—changed, refined, and dangerously alluring—forcing Cathy to confront the consequences of the choices she once made. What follows is a tale where romance blurs into fixation, and devotion edges toward ruin.
Meet the Characters
Cathy Earnshaw (Margot Robbie)
Beautiful, mercurial, and fiercely proud, Cathy is a force of nature. Though drawn to material comfort and social standing, her deepest truth lies in her bond with Heathcliff—a love that guides her every reckless decision.
Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi)
Once an abandoned street orphan, Heathcliff grows into a brooding, resentful man marked by hardship and longing. His devotion to Cathy is unwavering, but time and rejection harden him into something far more dangerous.
Nelly (Hong Chau)
Clever and quietly dissatisfied, Nelly watches the destructive relationship unfold from within Wuthering Heights. As responsibility weighs heavier on her shoulders, her disapproval sharpens—and so does her desire for escape.
Edgar Linton (Shazad Latif)
Wealthy, composed, and impeccably proper, Edgar represents stability and privilege. His refined world proves a powerful temptation, not only for Cathy, but for a future that promises comfort over chaos.
Isabella Linton (Alison Oliver)
Innocent and indulged, Isabella lives a sheltered life of luxury. Welcoming Cathy with open arms, she soon finds herself caught between admiration, rivalry, and the dangerous pull of Heathcliff’s attention.
A Vision Backed by Award-Winning Talent
Produced by LuckyChap Entertainment and Lie Still, Wuthering Heights is guided by an exceptional creative team. Fennell reunites with cinematographer Linus Sandgren, production designer Suzie Davies, editor Victoria Boydell, and costume designer Jacqueline Durran. The film features an evocative score by Anthony Willis, with original songs by Charli xcx adding a modern edge.
The film also stars Martin Clunes and Ewan Mitchell, with Josey McNamara producing alongside Fennell and Robbie. Tom Ackerley and Sara Desmond serve as executive producers.
A Valentine’s Romance with Bite
From Warner Bros. Pictures and MRC comes a bold and original interpretation of one of literature’s most notorious love stories—where desire overwhelms reason, and passion leaves scars.
Catch “Wuthering Heights” in Philippine cinemas starting February 11, 2026. Tickets are now on sale.
High stakes rule the game, and every move comes at a price. This February, moviegoers can brace themselves for a gripping, edge-of-your-seat cinematic experience as Crime 101 opens in Philippine cinemas on February 18.
Featuring a remarkable ensemble cast led by Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, and Barry Keoghan, Crime 101 is adapted from Don Winslow’s celebrated novella and brought to life by writer-director Bart Layton. Stylish yet grounded, the film blends suspense, emotion, and character-driven storytelling into a powerful modern crime tale.
A City Built on Desire and Discontent
Known for exploring lives lived beyond society’s rules, Layton found a compelling backdrop for his latest project in Los Angeles—a city fueled by ambition and quiet desperation. In Crime 101 characters grapple with the need to prove their worth in a place where success is measured by what you own and how you appear.
“I felt like many of the characters are slightly trapped in that sense of ‘I’m never going to feel good about my place in the world unless I have this,’” Layton says. “L.A. is a place that really nurtures that sense of: if you want to really be somebody and feel like you are of value, you need to have all the external trappings of great success. I think status anxiety is a constant thing.”
That tension pulses throughout the film, shaping every decision and consequence.
Watch the Trailer here:
A Heist on the Edge of Perfection
At the center of the story is Davis (Chris Hemsworth), a highly skilled and elusive jewel thief whose crimes trace the stretch of the 101 freeway. Known for his precision and restraint, Davis prepares for what could be the most lucrative—and dangerous—job of his career.
His path intersects with Sharon Coombs (Halle Berry), a weary insurance broker whose profession revolves around protecting the priceless assets of Los Angeles’ elite. Disillusioned and standing at a turning point in her life, Sharon becomes entangled in a situation that threatens to unravel everything.
Closing in is Detective Lou Lubesnik (Mark Ruffalo), an LAPD investigator deeply affected by the unsolved freeway robberies. As his pursuit intensifies, the lives of Davis, Sharon, and Lou become tightly bound, setting the stage for a tense and unpredictable showdown.
A Modern Film with Classic Crime Roots
Layton drew inspiration from timeless heist and crime films such as Out of Sight, Thief, The Sting, and The Thomas Crown Affair. These influences shape Crime 101 into a movie that balances suspense with depth.
“They were grownup movies,” he says. “They had real characters and were kind of tonally not simply a comedy, a drama or a thriller. They had light and shade. I definitely thought it would be nice to remind people that those are still great experiences to have in the cinema.”
The result is a sleek yet thoughtful thriller that respects the genre while offering something refreshingly grounded.
Chris Hemsworth’s Nostalgic Return to Crime Drama
Chris Hemsworth was immediately drawn to the project’s throwback sensibility.
“I read the script and loved it because it felt like a real throwback to ‘90s thrillers,” Hemsworth says. “There was a sort of nostalgia to the story that you don’t see too much these days. I was a fan of Bart’s work and loved American Animals. It was a very character-driven drama with elaborate intersecting storylines. After our first meeting I thought not only has he written an incredibly compelling script, but he also has a brilliant vision for the film.”
Already a fan of Layton’s American Animals, Hemsworth praised the script’s layered storytelling and the director’s clear creative vision, describing the film as a deeply engaging, character-first drama.
A Film Fueled by Passion and Precision
Veteran producer Eric Fellner believes Crime 101 stands out because of the dedication behind every frame.
“I found it inspiring how good everybody was in the film, and that goes from in front of the camera to behind it,” Fellner says. “There is unbelievable production design, cinematography, costume, hair and makeup, editing, music—just every aspect.”
For him, the ultimate reward is seeing audiences connect.
“When you’re making something, the hope from a producer is that audiences will lean in, emotionally engage, and at the end breathe out a huge sigh of joy and go: ‘Wow, that was great.’”
Crime 101 promises sharp suspense, compelling performances, and a richly satisfying crime story when it opens in Philippine cinemas on February 18. Distributed locally by Columbia Pictures PH.

Stephen Curry’s Personal Connection to the Story
Four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry, who serves as a producer on GOAT, saw his own journey reflected in Will’s struggle.
“My journey resembles Will’s—being overlooked, underrated—but finding your self-confidence through it all. It’s about the power of the team.”
Beyond personal experience, Curry was drawn to the film’s message about teamwork and community.
“No matter what walk of life, you can’t do anything great without the people around you. It’s cool to bring that into ‘GOAT,’ knowing how relatable it is—not just to my story, but to everybody.”
Bringing Sports Culture to the Big Screen
Curry also wanted GOAT to feel authentic to sports culture, translating life on the court into animation. From stylish accessories and expressive fashion to a carefully curated soundtrack, the film captures the rhythm and personality of athletic life.
“We included the accessories, the clothes, a dope soundtrack–the cultural references that everybody can laugh at and appreciate,” he says. “This is a timeless story–if you watch it 20 years from now, you’ll go back to a moment in time. We’re super excited to have those relatable references throughout the entire movie.”
Why Underdog Stories Never Miss
For Caleb McLaughlin, Will’s journey resonates on a deeply human level.
“I think underdog stories hit people because we’ve all felt like underdogs at some point,” he says. “We all start from a low place and have to push through our own version of concrete. And when you finally reach a goal, you remember the moments you struggled, or wanted to give up, but didn’t.”
McLaughlin believes the film speaks to viewers when they need it most—right when doubt creeps in.
“People doubt you along the way, and I think audiences relate to that. These stories usually find people right at the moment they feel like quitting, and watching an underdog win reminds them to keep going.”
Inside the Wild World of Roarball
Roarball is no ordinary sport. Set across diverse environments—from tropical jungles to frozen tundras—the game allows animals to use every physical advantage they have.
“They can make use of all of their animal attributes,” says producer Michelle Raimo Kouyate. “They run on two paws, four paws, use their tails, horns, snouts, wings, tongues—anything goes.”
But with danger comes discrimination.
“In our world, there’s no difference between bigs and smalls as far as the culture is concerned,” says co-producer David Schulenburg. “But roarball is so dangerous—the pace, the terrains—the idea that a small goat would play the game is just unheard of.”
A Story About Dreams, Not Just Sports
For co-director Adam Rosette, GOAT goes beyond competition.
“It represents what it’s like to have a dream, not only what it’s like to play sports,” he says. “It’s about Will’s dream, which just happens to be becoming a pro roarball player. If you’ve ever had a dream—something that you aspire to be—this movie is for you. There’s heart, there’s hustle and humor.”
With humor, emotion, and relentless optimism, GOAT celebrates believing in yourself—even when no one else does.
