Gareth Edwards, The Exorcist: Believer, The Burial, The Great Escaper

This week, Simon sits down with director Gareth Edwards to talk about his new AI-centred sci-fi action thriller epic, ‘The Creator’. Mark reviewed this last week. Other films Mark gives his takes on include ‘The Exorcist: Believer’, the sixth instalment of the horror franchise, which sees Hollywood icon Ellen Burstyn reprise her role from the original film; ‘The Burial’, a Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones-helmed legal drama about a lawyer who helps a funeral home-owner save his family business from a corporate behemoth; and ‘The Great Escaper’, which sees a World War 2 veteran, played by Michael Caine, escape from his care home to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in France. Our dynamic duo also takes us through the Box Office Top 10 and the film events worth catching in this week’s What’s On.
