“Sexy Beast“
Remember Jonathan Glazer’s incredible 2000 cult British gangster movie “Sexy Beast” with Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley? Of course, you do. You’ll remember that a Paramount+ sequel was announced a few years back, and it’s quietly coming out in January. A prequel to the crime drama, it stars James McArdle, Emun Elliott, Tamsin Greig, Stephen Moyer and Sarah Greene. And so little promotion has been done around it, it honestly feels like it’s getting dumped, but we’re still kind of intrigued.
Premiere Date: January 25 via Paramount+.
