This wrapped filming last Fall. Will drop on Netflix this year.

So the one who doesn't look like Gandhi, Queen Elizabeth or James Bond?

That is a really good cast.

...that's Richard Osman, the author of the book.

(Which also explains Mirren holding the novel. Also, if I remember right, he's likely sitting down because he's about 7ft tall.)

My bad. Thanks for the correction.

Will drop on Netflix August 28th. I saw an early screening for this in February. Can't say anything yet because the review embargo hasn't dropped yet and I signed an NDA. I'll say more when a trailer drops.

Didn't they raise the reward on that one a couple of times? I attended a shark movie one, earlier this year and they must have reworked it, because the same movie was back for another preview, like last month.

There was no reward. It wasn't a physical screening. It was dropped on my Netflix account and had to be user authenticated with code from email. Then you fill out a survey.

I did the same thing with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. They let me screen it many months before it came out.

Wasn't aware of this movie (or the books). Chanced upon the trailer yesterday. Looks good. I guess I won't cancel my subscription just yet. Well played, Netflix.

Great great GREAT book. I cannot wait for this. Looks fantastic!

Comes out August 28th

I saw this movie back in February.

I'll just share a few short thoughts. It's a fun old school style murder mystery with some good performances. Mirren's character is the lead. And Brosnan appears the 2nd most. A lot of Brosnan's interactions are with Tom Ellis, who plays his son.

Everyone plays off each other really well. Kind of has the old school whodunnit vibe.

If you're a fan of any of these actors, especially Mirren, it's worth a watch.

Assume it's based on just the first book only. I haven't read the other 4 books yet. It's a shame this wasn't released in the theater.

I've seen a couple of focus group preview screenings recently that ended up on streaming. I assume they made very few changes because this was a quick turn around from when I saw that email. Compared to Worth the Wait (which was rough when I saw it) that took nearly a year to be dumped on Tubi.

Reminder, this movie drops tomorrow morning at 3am ET. I already shared some thoughts when I saw it months ago.

Like I said, if you like "old school" murder mysteries, you'll likely enjoy this.

Watched this tonight and loved it. It was so great, I feel it should have been released in theaters. Unlike most Netflix movies that deserve streaming only. Based on a book that was extremely popular in England, it spawned 4 follow-ups. This would have been a huge box-office hit in the U.K. I'd give it a 9/10. It was one of the most entertaining films of the year. Both Helen Mirren and Celia Imrie stole this move.
