Ariana Grande takes over Oz: 'Wicked: For Good' sparks frenzy, hype and a shocking premiere scare

We jump from musical spectacle to dystopian chaos with Edgar Wright's bold new adaptation of Stephen King's "The Running Man", starring Glen Powell – fresh off "Hit Man" and "Twisters" – as a desperate father forced into a brutal reality show in a tech-controlled America. With its AI-distorted narratives, blood-sport TV and chilling social commentary, it's shaping up to be one of the year’s most topical thrillers.

Then it's over to Scarlett Johansson’s directing debut, "Eleanor the Great", featuring a powerhouse performance by 96-year-old June Squibb – believed to be the oldest lead actress ever in a Hollywood feature. The Cannes-selected film explores intergenerational friendship, reinvention and a lie that spirals into chaos, with Squibb delivering humour, heart and genuine emotional punch.

Finally, French audiences are treated to a cinematic feast: a retrospective of Francis Ford Coppola's classics, from "Apocalypse Now: Final Cut" to lesser-seen gems like "Twixt", "Tucker", "The Outsiders", "The Conversation" and his 1963 debut "Dementia 13".
