AIR – 5 April
Ben Affleck directs and stars in this true-life drama about how Nike managed to land Michael Jordan as a client for their new shoe line, effectively turning the entire industry on its head. Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Marlon Wayans and Chris Tucker fill out the very impressive cast list.
THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE – 7 April
An all-star voice cast including Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black and Seth Rogen take part in this animated feature of the hit video games series, coming from the folks behind the Despicable Me and Minions movies.
THE POPE’S EXORCIST – 7 April

RENFIELD – 14 April
We all know the story of Dracula, but not quite like this. A horror-comedy set in modern day New Orleans, we see Dracula (a perfectly cast Nicolas Cage) as he attempts to regenerate his powers, while his put-upon assistant Renfield (Nicholas Hault) realises there is more to this life than helping the master of darkness.
