Heres a new one: Crime 101 is a 2026 crime thriller film starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Halle Berry. It is written and directed by Bart Layton, based on the 2020 novella of the same name by Don Winslow.
Big stars! How weird this has disappeared.
I haven’t read the plot so no spoilers, but I’m thinking it’s possible that there might be culturally or politically unsettling elements in this film. Remember: IDIOCRACY predicted our NOW and it was disappeared. ANNIVERSARY is our NOW and it was disappeared.
Crime 101 was released in January and I literally have never heard of it despite a great cast. What’s going on? Disappeared to protect the guilty?
I mean, I don’t watch ads either, but I’ll see new releases on letterboxd, or my local independent theatre will play something new, like Marty Supreme, and I’ll hear about it that way.
I find ads, regardless of their effectiveness in marketing, to be the least interesting way to find out about a film, because a well-made ad is more of an exception than the standard.
