Netflix has released the first trailer for A House of Dynamite, a new political thriller directed by Kathryn Bigelow and featuring a well-known cast. The film, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month, tells the story of a team racing to identify and neutralize a nuclear missile headed for the U.S.
A new trailer for the upcoming film, set to hit theaters next week, hints at a fast-paced story told from multiple perspectives with a large cast. Rebecca Ferguson, known for her role in *Silo*, plays Captain Olivia Walker, and Idris Elba stars as the President of the United States.
The film also stars Anthony Ramos from *Twisters*, Gabriel Basso of *The Night Agent*, Moses Ingram known for *Obi-Wan Kenobi*, and Jonah Hauer-King, who appeared in *I Know What You Did Last Summer*, as well as other talented actors.
What to Read Next
After premiering at the Venice Film Festival, *A House of Dynamite* has received a 92% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 36 critic reviews.
Reviewers have described the movie as intensely stressful and nerve-wracking, but also thought-provoking. Many have also commended director Kathryn Bigelow’s skillful and meticulous approach.

Critics have praised the film as a remarkably effective and unsettling thriller. *The Times* called it an exceptionally well-made ‘feel-bad’ thriller, and the BBC noted it’s both more gripping than typical thrillers and more frightening than most horror movies.
Variety magazine found the film unconvincing, describing it as stuck between a genuine thriller and cheap, sensational entertainment.
I’m really excited about this new film! It’s Kathryn Bigelow’s first movie in eight years, and that’s a long time coming after how amazing her last one, *Detroit*, was. It’s written by Noah Oppenheim, which is great to hear.

Guillermo del Toro’s new version of *Frankenstein*, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, will also be available on Netflix.
This new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic horror story focuses on a troubled family dynamic. Jacob Elordi, known from *Euphoria*, stars as the creature, and Oscar Isaac plays Victor Frankenstein.
I’m so excited for this movie! It’s hitting theaters for a short run starting October 17th, and then thankfully it’ll be available on Netflix starting November 7th, so everyone can check it out!
The new film, A House of Dynamite, hits theaters on October 3rd and will be available to stream on Netflix starting October 24th.
The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
