John Hillcoat

There’s a chill in the air, but don’t start bundling up for fall just yet. Another look in the Black Mirror is all you need, and our first Season 4 teaser reveals not only the next six titles, but stars as well.

Starz viewers will get an eyeful of David Slade’s gorgeous direction with the premiere of American Gods, but we won’t have to wait long for the next gig. Hannibal alum Slade is stepping through Netflix’s Black Mirror, adding his name to the roster of directors for Season 4.

I don’t think I’ve ever not recognized Kate Winslet in a movie before. But I did not recognize her in the latest trailer for Triple 9. It wasn’t until her name flashed onscreen that I even realized it was her — and even then I had to rewind to see for myself. According to Wikipedia, which is never wrong, she plays “a Russian-Israeli Mafia moll.” My favorite kind of Mafia moll!

John Hillcoat is the director behind The Road and Lawless, which makes Triple 9 an instant must-see. Originally conceived as a starring vehicle for Lawless star Shia LaBeouf, Triple 9 was put on the back burner for a few years before Hillcoat got back to work on it, replacing LaBeouf with Casey Affleck for this nasty little crime thriller. The first trailer has arrived, and as the red band warning promises, things get very, very brutal.
