Nuremberg Release Date Set for Russell Crowe & Rami Malek WWII Movie
Sony Pictures Classics has officially announced the release date, after acquiring the theatrical distribution rights to the upcoming historical drama. The movie is based on Jack El-Hail's 2013 book The Nazi and the Psychiarist. 'It chronicles the true story of the eponymous trials held by the Allies against the defeated Nazi regime,' reads the official synopsis. 'The film centers on American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, who is tasked with determining whether Nazi prisoners are fit to stand trial for their war crimes and finds himself in a complex battle of wits with Hermann Göring, Hitler's right-hand man.' Nuremberg has now been scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 7, 2025, pitting it directly against two highly anticipated movies Predator: Badlands and The Running Man. It will also be debuting in the same month as high-profile movies such as Now You See Me: Now You Don't, Wicked: For Good, and Zootopia 2. The film is written and directed by Zodiac filmmaker James Vanderbilt. The ensemble cast includes Russell Crowe, Rami Malek, Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, Leo Woodall, John Slattery, Mark O'Brien, Lydia Peckham, Colin Hanks, Wrenn Schmidt, Lotte Verbeek, and Andreas Pietschmann. It is produced by Vanderbilt, Richard Saperstein, Bradley J. Fischer, William Sherak, Frank Smith, Benjamin Tappan, Cherilyn Hawrysh, István Major, and George Freeman. Executive producers are Jack El-Hai, Brooke Saperstein, Annie Saperstein, Beau Turpin, W. Porter Payne, Jr., Paul Neinstein, and Széchenyi Funds Géza Deme and Tamás Hajnal. 'I am beyond thrilled to be reuniting with Michael and Tom and the whole Sony Pictures Classics team, who ten years ago took a chance on me as a first-time director, and whose legacy of championing great films makes them an incredible partner,' Vanderbilt said in a statement. 'Nuremberg explores the fragile boundary between justice and vengeance in the aftermath of unimaginable atrocity. As we approach the 80th anniversary of this unprecedented moment in history, this story feels more urgent than ever, and I can't wait for audiences to see it on the big screen.'

READY OR NOT: HERE I COME Producer on the Film Expanding the Twisted Mythology — GeekTyrant
The game's not over yet. Ready or Not: Here I Come , the follow-up to the 2019 cult horror hit, is officially in motion, and according to producer James Vanderbilt, it's not just more of the same. Instead, the sequel plans to mess with the board entirely, pushing the twisted Le Domas family mythology into new, darker corners without unraveling what made it so chilling to begin with. In a recent chat with ComicBook about his new Apple TV+ film Fountain of Youth , Vanderbilt gave fans a few carefully chosen details about the film, enough to intrigue, but not spoil. 'There are a couple of different ways we are doing it. I don't want to give anything away... What I will say is one of the reasons it has taken a minute to make this sequel was that we were really hard on ourselves on not just repeating what the first movie was, but also, not losing the sauce of what the first movie was.' It's a smart strategy. The original film, anchored by Samara Weaving's feral final girl Grace, managed to walk a fine line between brutal horror and biting satire. According to Vanderbilt, the new film builds on that without letting the mythology get bogged down in too much explanation. When referring to the original's jaw-dropping ending, he said: 'It's interesting because there's a debate all the way through as to what is real and what is not. That is answered at the end of the first movie, so you can't put that Le Bail back in the bottle.' Writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy seemed to have cracked the next chapter of the story, and when talking about it, Vanderbilt said: 'What Guy and R. Christopher Murphy do in this script is incredibly smart. As soon as they pitched it, it was, 'Of course that's what it is. That's a great idea.' It's such a great way to tell this story.' What makes the sequel especially intriguing is its commitment to expanding the world without drowning it in exposition. 'I think it's safe to say we expand the mythology without explaining the entire mythology. I don't know if that sounds exciting, but it's exciting to us. I think it's the right amount of worldbuilding, while still telling an amazing emotional story.' That emotional core centers once again on Grace, with Weaving returning to the blood-soaked chaos. But this time, she's not alone. The cast lineup is stacked with Ant-Man 's Kathryn Newton, Buffy legend Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Elijah Wood. Then there's David Cronenberg, the master of body horror himself, who will be stepping in front of the camera in a rare acting role. Kevin Durand, fresh off Abigail , also joins the madness, playing a character said to be the 'polar opposite' of his vampire-hunting role. With Radio Silence (Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett) once again directing, fans can expect the same kinetic blend of chaos, gore, and sharp wit that made the first film a standout.
