Watch the trailer Hustlers Watch the trailer It Chapter Two TBC TBC Based on a magazine article, strip club workers turn the tables on their clients Be afraid! Stephen King’s most iconic creation is back to haunt your dreams DIRECTOR Lorene Scafaria starring Julia Stiles, Madeline Brewer, jennifer lopez DIRECTOR Andy Muschietti starring Bill Skarsgård, James McAvoy, bill hader In December 2015, New York magazine ran an article by journalist Jessica Pressler entitled The Hustlers at Scores, which exposed – in a non-sensational manner – the alleged true story of a group of female strip club workers who stole from their wealthy clients (using a combination of their wits, charm and drugs) to boost their own incomes. Four years on, this modern-day Robin Hood tale – as the piece was promoted by thecut.com – is now a major motion picture with an all- star female cast that includes Julia Stiles, Madeline Brewer, Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez. And what an enthralling retelling it is! In this follow-up to the 2017 smash-hit (which slayed all expectations to take a phenomenal $700 million at the worldwide box office), the ‘Losers Club’ – Bill, Beverly, Ben, Richie, Mike, Eddie and Stan – have all grown up and gone their separate ways. But when evil returns to their hometown of Derry, Maine, the gang are collectively drawn back to finish ‘It’ once and for all. With writer Gary Dauberman confirming that this sequel is “bloodier and just as scary, if not scarier than the first,” you have been warned! 13 SEP Rambo: Last Blood September 6 SEP get ready to float again on page 26 TBC Sly returns as John Rambo for a pulsating fifth outing DIRECTOR Adrian Grunberg starring Sylvester Stallone, Paz Vega, Óscar Jaenada Eleven years after the fourth film in the franchise, John Rambo is back. Sure, he’s got a few more wrinkles than when we last saw him, but the former Green Beret is still a veritable one man army. 20 SEP And he’s going to need to be, because in Last Blood he’s facing his toughest foe yet... a deadly Mexican cartel who have kidnapped his friend’s daughter. Once again starring Sly Stallone, this fifth chapter sees our now-bandana-less antihero doing what he does best: killing. There will be blood. Oh yes, there will be blood!
