Scroll down for more details of the upcoming films this December.
1. Rumours (released December 6th)
Cate Blanchett leads an all-star cast in the outrageous new satire from provocative filmmaker Guy Maddin. In this topical skewering of modern-day geopolitics, a group of bickering world leaders finds themselves beset by their own personal inadequacies — and a rampaging army of undead monsters.
2. Nightbitch (released December 6th)
The chameleonic Amy Adams is renowned for her transformative roles, from Disney's Enchanted to Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed Arrival. Nightbitch, however, is the real deal. It is the witty story of a put-upon suburban mother whose frustrations manifest as canine transformation. Acclaimed filmmaker Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) adapts the bestselling book by Rachel Yoder.
3. The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (released December 13th; showing in 2D, IMAX, 4DX and Superscreen)
The rousing story of Rohan king Helm Hammerhand makes up just a few paragraphs in the appendices to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Now, renowned anime filmmaker Kenji Kamiyama brings us Helm's story in all its glory: performed via motion capture and eventually rendered in bold anime strokes, it promises a distinctive and exciting origin story that explores the naming of the critical fortress, Helm's Deep. Succession's Brian Cox brings his throaty roar to the role of Helm.

4. Kraven the Hunter (released December 13th)
The Sony Spider-Man Universe (Madame Web; Morbius) debuts its new hero, Kraven the Hunter, but don't expect him to play nice. Kick-Ass star Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays the expert Russian big-game hunter Sergei Kravinoff who adopts the alter-ego of Kraven: a man with heightened, almost bestial senses who becomes an apex predator. Expect a Gladiator-centric supporting cast in the form of Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger.
5. Queer (released December 13th)
Before he became James Bond, Daniel Craig was noted for his anguished and tortured roles in independent cinema. He now returns to those roots in Queer, the latest movie from Challengers and Call Me By Your Name helmer Luca Guadagnino. It's adapted from William S. Burroughs' memoir of the same name and stars Craig as the legendary author's surrogate, who embarks on a steamy, South American-set romance with a young sailor, played by Drew Starkey.
6. Mufasa: The Lion King (released December 20th; showing in 2D, IMAX, 4DX and Superscreen)
Discover how Pride Rock lions Mufasa and Scar became sworn enemies in Disney's photo-realistic CG prequel to their blockbusting 2019 remake of The Lion King. Before the events of that film, Scar (voiced by Kelvin Harrison Jr.) was known as Taka and Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre) was introduced into the former's clan as his step-sibling. Oscar-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins is behind the camera and the soundtrack includes contributions from Disney veteran Lin-Manuel Miranda.

7. Better Man (released December 27th)
Robbie Williams goes ape, quite literally, in this unusual and fascinating origin story from The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey. Discover how the former Take That member rose to conquer the world as a chart-topping solo act, all the while rendered as a CG monkey. Surely he should go by the name Mr. Bonobojangles?
8. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (released December 27th)
Sega icon Sonic the Hedgehog has already powered his way through two successful live-action adventures and in his third, the character faces his greatest threat to date. Step forward, the menacing Shadow, voiced by Keanu Reeves, who enters into battle with Sonic, Tails (Colleen O' Shaughnessy) and Knuckles (Idris Elba). Luckily, they've got help on their side in the shape of their old nemesis Doctor Robotnik (Jim Carrey, who doubles up to also play Robotnik's aged father).
