Desert Strike
Mike Tyson is no stranger to film. The boxer has made numerous cameos throughout the years but for the first time, he's taking the lead. In the movie directed by Egyptian filmmaker Raouf Abd El Aziz, Tyson is an ex-military official on a mission to protect a group of Egyptian refugees from Hafthor Bjornsson. Even with two powerhouses, the trailer is as painful as taking a punch from Iron Mike. Desert Strike premiered in Egypt in 2019 and is expected to release in The States sometime this year.

The Lady And The Dale
Elizabeth Carmichael had an idea in the gas-strapped '70s. With the Big Three undergoing their infamous "malaise era", Carmichael began promoting a fuel-efficient three-wheeled car with an Italian wedge shape — a complete 180 from Detroit. The plot thickens when Carmichael's past and the car's tech begin to come into focus, with an ending that's stranger than fiction. The Lady And The Dale premieres on January 31 on HBO.

One Night In Miami. . .
Four legends of the Civil Rights movement find themselves in a hotel room in Miami — Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown — in director Regina King's One Might in Miami. . .
