Hot off the success of 'Superman,' David Corenswet will portray John Tuggle, the 'Mr. Irrelevant' of the 1983 NFL draft, in Levine's upcoming, yet-to-be-titled film, now dated for Christmas 2026, rpeorted Variety.

Ponciroli's movie, 'The Rescue', a modern-day Western in which a rodeo cowboy's skills are put to the test outside the arena, starring Brandon Sklenar and Hassie Harrison is slated for January 29, 2027.

Interesting lineup from Paramount. But April 2027? That's over three years away! By the time it releases, the hype might be gone. They should capitalize on her current award season momentum with a sooner date.

The premise reminds me of those classic underdog stories. A sheltered student finding family in an unexpected place – it's a universal theme. Hope the film captures the raw energy of street dance. Best of luck to her on her directorial debut!

So much talent in one project! Teyana directing, Storm Reid starring and producing... and Kenya Barris involved too. This feels like a potential hit. The other films mentioned also sound good, especially the modern-day Western.

As someone who loves dance dramas, this is exciting news. We need more films that celebrate dance culture. I wonder if the soundtrack will feature her music. The release is far, but something to look forward to!
