Stardust

Directed by British filmmaker Gabriel Range using a script from Christopher Bell, Stardust hits US theatres on 25 November.
Wayne
Amazon Prime Video is re-launching Wayne, the hit YouTube Red series which debuted in January 2019. The gritty comedy focuses on the titular character (Mark McKenna), a young boy who just wants to do the right thing.

Love Weddings & Other Disasters
Diane Keaton and Jeremy Irons star in Dennis Dugan's romantic comedy. The film is “is a multi-story romantic comedy about the people who work on weddings to create the perfect day for a loving couple - while their own relationships are outlandish, odd, crazy and far from perfect.”
Love, Weddings & Other Disasters will release in US theatres on 4 December.
His House
In debut writer-director Remi Weekes' His House, a young couple from war-torn South Sudan seeks asylum and a fresh start in England. However, they are soon tormented by a sinister force.
"His House is a haunted house story about two immigrants trying to make a home in a foreign country," Weekes said in a statement. "Unlike traditional haunted house stories where the protagonist might be able to escape, our protagonists — two displaced asylum seekers — do not have the privilege to simply leave. Rather, they are stuck having to survive within their house."
Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù and Wunmi Mosaku, who were most recently seen in Gangs of London and HBO series Lovecraft Country, lead the film. His House is currently streaming on Netflix.
