Watch the trailer for Nicole Kidman's Holland
Amazon dropped the trailer for its new thriller Holland. Directed by Mimi Cave and written by Andrew Sodroski, the film is set in tulip-filled Holland, Mich., and follows Nancy Vandergroot (Nicole Kidman), a teacher and homemaker whose idyllic life with her husband (Matthew Macfadyen) and son (Jude Hill) turns upside-down after she and (Gael García Bernal) become suspicious of a secret that reveals nothing in their lives is what it seems. Holland will premiere at South by Southwest before hitting Prime Video on March 27.
Jon Bernthal to return in Punisher special
The Punisher will return. Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, will reprise the role in a new standalone Marvel special. Bernthal, who can next be seen as the Punisher in Daredevil: Born Again, is writing the script with his We Own This City director Reinaldo Marcus Green, who will direct the special. "It's like a shotgun blast of a story, but also has all the pathos and emotion that you want out of a Frank Castle story," Brad Winderbaum, the head of Marvel Television, tells Entertainment Weekly. "It's so exciting." The special will be in the vein of Werewolf by Night or The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
