Shout! Studios presents The Magic Flute by Florian Zigl, executive produced by Roland Emmerich, at 325 theaters with expansion likely. A reimagining of the Mozart opera, it follows a present-day teen sent from London to the Austrian Alps on singing scholarship at the legendary Mozart boarding school. There, he discovers a century old forgotten passageway into the magical world of Mozart’s famed opera.
This Harry Potter-ish adventure fantasy stars Jack Wolfe as Tim Walker, who passes from school into the world of the opera and its many adventures as hero Prince Tamino. Wide releases may be picking up steam and Scream, but in terms of new specialty, and family fare, these isn’t much new competition this weekend.
Melissa Boag, EVP of Family Entertainment at Shout! Studios, hopes it will play with fans of magical adventure, Harry Potter, and classical music. Wolfe is a star of Netflix YA series Shadow & Bone.

Well my friends I have officially seen what I consider to be my best of 2023… So far of course, I mean it’s only March. However I kid you not, Unwelcome is exactly what you need When you need it. A low key top quality cast, gorgeous sprawling Irish landscapes, a wicked smart script and outrageously awesome practical Goblins. Yes, you read that right and I will say it again Goblins people we are dealing with fricking Goblins.

Grabbers director Jon Wright’s latest, Unwelcome, blends modernism with Irish mythology. Described in a pitch as “Gremlins meets Straw Dogs,” Unwelcome introduces the far darrig, tiny bloodthirsty fae also dubbed redcaps for their signature red hats. Yet Wright, who co-wrote with screenwriter Mark Stay, struggles to find a consistent tone. The emphasis on gritty home invasion thriller clashes with the lighter horror-comedy creature feature.
Elation turns to trauma when a pregnancy celebration between Maya (Hannah John-Kamen) and her husband, Jamie (Douglas Booth), morphs into a harrowing home invasion nightmare. Jamie then conveniently inherits a house in rural Ireland, giving the couple the perfect opportunity to flee their dangerous London neighborhood. The locals are welcoming, though superstitious; Maya placates her neighbor (Niamh Cusack) with promises to continue the tradition of leaving proper blood sacrifices at the edge of their garden to appease the far darrig. Remembering to uphold her commitment...

This article contains major Unwelcome spoilers.
British horror Unwelcome sees city couple Maya (Hannah-John Kamen) and Jamie (Douglas Booth) move to Ireland after a horrific home invasion leaves them shaken. But the new rural home isn’t the peaceful idyll they had hoped for, with a baby on the way. If the violent local family hired to do some building work weren’t enough, they also have murderous Redcaps to deal with. It’s a lot.
“It started originally from a conversation I had with Mark Stay, who wrote the film,” says director Jon Wright. “We were kind of almost making fun of each other, and making fun of ourselves really about what cowards we were, and how, if we were ever confronted with physical violence, how frightening we found it, and how useless we were at fighting. We were saying that being a pacifist is really a kind of...

Director Jon Wright has a good track record when it comes to comedy horror, having previously made high school slasher Tormented (2009) and boozy creature feature Grabbers (2012). His latest film, Unwelcome, adds more monsters to his menagerie, in an effective genre offering that plays like Straw Dogs meets Gremlins, by way of Leprechaun.
Unwelcome opens in a dodgy area of London, where newly pregnant couple Maya (Hannah John-Kamen) and Jamie (Douglas Booth) are brutally beaten after local thugs invade their flat. Nine months later, with Maya’s baby imminent, the pair relocate to rural Ireland, after Jamie inherits his aunt’s house.
Almost immediately, Maya is warned that there are certain rituals that have to be obeyed, specifically that she has to leave a piece of...

Sci-fi series to be overseen by longtime Coronation Street producer Tony Wood.
Robot Overlords, the UK sci-fi feature starring Gillian Anderson and Ben Kingsley, is to get a spin-off TV series overseen by Tony Wood’s Buccaneer Media.
The agreement, signed with Piers Tempest and Jo Bamford’s Tempo Productions who produced the movie, will see Buccaneer Media create a TV series set in a parallel universe to the original movie, which features a group of survivors following the invasion of Earth by alien robots.
Robert Overlords director Jon Wright announced the adaptation at McM London Comic Con.
Wood is a British drama producer that worked on long-running soap Coronation Street for 12 years as well as Desi Rascals and Nickelodeon’s live action kid’s series House of Anubis.
Wood said the TV series of Robot Overlords would “reimagine” the story “for an international family TV audience”, compariing it to classic British sci-fi brands such as Quatermass...

So much to love in this Brit kiddie sci-fi adventure, with its brilliant concept that really works on a small budget and a real sense of place. I’m “biast” (pro): I’m a big ol’ sci-fi geek
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
So much to love in this Brit kiddie sci-fi adventure! It’s like classic Doctor Who — you know, like we haven’t gotten much of lately — except without the Doctor, of course. It’s a Ya postapocalyptic adventure not based on a book (it’s an original story). It’s set after the alien invasion, which is when, I’ve always felt, all the really interesting stories exist to be told and yet we haven’t seen many of them. And the AI ETs aren’t here for the water.

The Earth has been taken over but Robot Overlords and all humans are confined to their houses, risking incineration by Robot Sentries if they venture outside. As Sean Flynn and his friends figure out how to deactivate the electronic implants they are forced to wear, they set out to find his father, who has been missing since the war when the Robots took over. Using their new found freedom, they discover more than they bargain for and end up in a struggle which could determine the fate of the human race itself.

Two years ago, director Jon Wright stepped behind the camera for the fantastic Irish sci-fi comedy Grabbers. Now, he's back directing and co-writing, along with Mark Stay, the wonderfully high concept Robot Overlords. Starring Callan McAuliffe, Ben Kingsley, and Gillian Anderson, the movie sees the world conquered by robots from another galaxy, and the human race becoming slaves to their new robot masters. The first trailer is as crazy as the synopsis suggests, features some fantastic FX works, and the whole thing promises to big crazy fun. Check it out below. Robot Overlords hits cinemas in Ireland and the U.K. on 19th March 2015...

Giant robots from another galaxy arrive on Earth with more on their minds than disguising themselves as our vehicles and rocking out to Linkin Park. Can Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson save us from Robot Overlords?
Grabbers director Jon Wright and writer Mark Stay are the overlords behind this new sci-fi action adventure thriller from the UK’s Embankment Films that sees the world as we know it enslaved by colossal machines from outer space.
Oscar winner Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson ("Hannibal," "The X-Files") appear to be leading the adult resistance against intergalactic tyranny, but from the looks and sounds of this one, Robot Overlords seems to be aimed at more of a teen audience.
Callan McAuliffe (The Great Gatsby) and Ella Hunt are the two younger heroes adorning the quite impressive poster art.
