Move over, Katniss and Tris - Z for Zachariah ratchets up the tension on the dystopian romance genre, enlisting the furiously talented trio of Margot Robbie, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Chris Pine to play the corners of a love triangle that emerges when a scientist (Ejiofor) shacks up with a naive mountain girl (Robbie) in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear war, only for their relationship to be threatened by the arrival of another charismatic survivor with eyes for the girl.
Leave it to Robert Zemeckis to make one man balancing on a tightrope more of a visual spectacle than anything else hitting theaters this fall - and that's including trips to Neverland, future dystopias and elegant haunted houses. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays French daredevil Philippe Petit in The Walk - and in the new trailer for the pic, adapted from Petit's book To Reach the Clouds, he appears to have one of the most exciting roles of his career.

There's a reason we can't get through a calendar year without a new Shakespeare adaptation. The Bard's plays are lush with evocative language, complex characters and themes so universal they resonate as loudly today as they did in his times, from madness and misery to love and longing. The former pair is more on display in the intense trailer for this fall's Macbeth, but like any great adaptation of the classic play, Justin Kurzel's play looks set to tap into every strength of the source material, from its epic scale to its detailed depiction of a king losing his mind.
Somewhere, Optimus Prime is sighing in disappointment. Even as Paramount Pictures assembles a writer's room teeming with Hollywood talent in order to come up with future Transformers installments for Michael Bay to direct, the helmer is lining up a separate sci-fi project for the studio.
