Titled Monkey Man, a new exciting film has premiered its trailer and we are intrigued! Making his directing debut is Oscar® nominee Dev Patel and with this project he brings an astonishing, tour-de-force feature action thriller about one man’s quest for vengeance against the corrupt leaders who murdered his mother and continue to systemically victimize the poor and powerless.
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.
After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score...

Neill Blomkamp’s District 10 Moves Forward as First Details Arrive for His Pandemic-Shot Horror Film
Bursting onto the scene in 2009 with his Best Picture-nominated District 9, Neill Blomkamp’s follow-ups Elysium and Chappie didn’t quite ignite the same response but the South African-Canadian director is plotting his return. After developing Alien and RoboCop films that never saw the light of day, he’s now shot a supernatural horror film during the pandemic and is returning to the world of his breakout film.
First up, details were spare when his pandemic-shot project was initially announced last year, but thanks to a tip from a reader who received a test screening invitation we have an idea of the plot. Revealing the cast features Carly Pope, Chris William Martin, and Michael Rogers, the test screening invite used the name Unlocked, but ScreenDaily has reported the new title is Demonic. Check out the plot below for the film that will likely be rated R:
