Upcoming History & Period Movies & TV

Upcoming history and period storytelling includes Focus Features' Sense and Sensibility, Amazon MGM's The Chosen: Crucifixion theatrical chapter, Angel Studios' Zero A.D., and prestige TV returns such as The Gilded Age. Fantasy-period epics like Rings of Power are noted where calendars place them.

Cross-genre titles appear on more than one FilmBase page when that helps readers browsing mood—for example a heist comedy under both Action and Comedy—without changing the studio listing or distributor.

Hit play and let Reacher finish what the bad guys started.

Borat: VHS Cassette of Material Deemed “Sub-acceptable” By Kazakhstan Ministry of Censorship and Circumcision
