IFC Is Now Transforming With ‘Evolution’
Originally acquired by Alchemy out of TIFF, IFC Midnight will now release the French-language horror pic Evolution, helmed by Lucile Hadzihalilovic, says Indiewire.
It had its world premiere in the Vanguard section at last September’s Toronto Film Festival.
Hadzihalilovic wrote the screenplay with Alanté Kavaïté and Geoff Cox and serves as Hadzihalilovic’s follow-up to her 2004 indie hit Innocence.
“In the pic, 10-year-old Nicolas lives with his mother in a village on a remote island inhabited solely by women and young boys. In a hospital overlooking the ocean, all the boys are subjected to a mysterious medical treatment. Only Nicolas questions what is happening around him. He senses that his mother is lying to him, and is determined to find out what she does with the other women at night, on the beach. What he discovers is the beginning of a nightmare into which he is helplessly drawn. Max Brebant, Roxane Duran and Julie-Marie Parmentier star.“
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton’s sci-fi movie Mars Attacks!, and IGN has announced this afternoon that the film is being celebrated with a brand new 4K release.
When can you expect it? IGN reports, “Mars Attacks! will be available for purchase digitally in 4K Ultra HD and on 4K UHD Blu-ray Disc on August 11, 2026.”
Brand new Special Features for the 4K UHD release will include…

- Ack! Ack! Aesthetic
Filmmakers explore how then-cutting-edge CGI shaped the film’s iconic look.
Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks! gets the 4K Ultra HD upgrade with two different releases: the standard 4K Ultra HD release and the Limited Edition SteelBook 4K Ultra HD release.
You can pre-order both over on Amazon now.
In Tim Burton’s 1996 movie adaptation of the Mars Attacks! trading card line from Topps, Jack Nicholson stars as the President of the United States. Anything can – and does – happen as Planet Earth is plunged into complete pandemonium when Martians invade.
