Another Epic Trailer for ‘Attack the Block’ Director’s ‘The Kid Who Would Be King’
As I noted back in October, before suffering through the disappointing Goosebumps sequel, I was surprised by one of the trailers for a film I had never even heard of. Called The Kid Who Would Be King, I learned this epic looking genre mashup was directed by none other than Attack the Block‘s Joe Cornish. It looks absolutely magnificent and has shades of horror (fire and brimstone, and demons!) within the story of a band of kids who embark on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace.
In the film, “Alex (Ashbourne Serkis) thinks he’s just another nobody, until he stumbles upon the mythical Sword in the Stone, Excalibur. Now, he must unite his friends and enemies into a band of knights and, together with the legendary wizard Merlin (Patrick Stewart), take on the wicked enchantress Morgana (Rebecca Ferguson). With the future at stake, Alex must become the great leader he never dreamed he could be.”
Now, Fox has released a second trailer that’s a bit spoiler heavy but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look epic beyond belief. Also, the date is no longer March as the kid will become King on January 25th here in the States.
The Fall franchise heads to a new location with new characters in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint, and the brand new Lionsgate sequel has received its MPA rating this week.
Releasing in theaters on September 2, 2026, horror sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint is rated PG-13 for “strong language, some violent content/bloody images and drug material.”
Harriet Slater (Tarot) stars in the upcoming Fall 2: Deadpoint alongside Arsema Thomas (“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”) and Tom Brittney (Greyhound).
Michael & Peter Spierig (Predestination, Jigsaw) direct Fall 2: Deadpoint from a script by Fall writers Scott Mann (who also directed the original) and Jonathan Frank.
From the survival hit that tapped into the fear of heights and left friends stranded at the top of a tower comes a climb that goes higher, gets deadlier, and hits with next-level adrenaline.
In Fall 2: Deadpoint, two friends take on new heights in Thailand, where unpredictable terrain, extreme exposure, and nowhere to hide push survival further than ever before.
Overwhelmed by her sister Hunter’s death, Jax (Slater) connects with Luce (Thomas), Hunter’s fearless friend. To heal, they attempt the infamous plank walk of Mount Kwan in Thailand.
After a sudden rockslide leaves them stranded on a fragile plank 3000 feet in the air, Jax must confront her deepest fears and fight for survival to find closure.
Fall 3 has already been greenlit, with Mann returning to the director’s chair. The first Fall was a surprise hit in theaters, scaring up $18 million at the worldwide box office back in 2022.
