This week's big cinema release...

DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE

Directed by: Simon Curtis

Starring: Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Joely Richardson

Flush from the success of 2022’s Downton Abbey: A New Era, our favourite blue bloods (and below-stairsers) return for a third film once again scripted by Julian Fellowes and directed by Simon Curtis. Sadly, both the incomparable Maggie Smith and her waspish Dowager have departed since then, but Downton Abbey 3 reunites all the other big-hitters from Hugh Bonneville to Michelle Dockery.

Mark Waters’ beloved 2003 bodyswap fantasy finally gets a sequel, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as the mother and daughter who trade places – and early reports suggesting their extended family will be switching up. “It’s a four-way switch, so it was intense,” said Curtis. “People are going to love this.”

TRON: ARES

Directed by: Joachim Ronning

Starring: Jared Leto, Jodie-Turner Smith, Jeff Bridges

Released in 1982 and 2010, the opening Tron movies were eye-widening sci-fi heaven – but Joachim Rønning’s threequel threatens to eclipse them with a prescient AI-themed story and the latest method masterclass from Jared Leto (who insisted on being called ‘Ares’ onset). “I must have seen the first Tron a couple dozen times growing up,” said the actor in People. “Putting on the suit was a big deal for me.”
