From Zendaya to Anne Hathaway... Three Anticipated A24 Films Coming in 2026!

First, the film 'Eternity' is a work that has garnered attention for its collaboration between director David Frain and actors Miles Teller, Elizabeth Olsen, and Callum Turner, who are currently thriving in Hollywood. It is a romantic comedy where the protagonist 'Joanne' finds herself in a difficult situation, having to choose her eternal partner in the afterlife. Through 'Joanne', who is confused between a man she has lived with for 65 years and a man who has waited for her for 67 years, the film prompts a reflection on the true nature of love.

The film 'The Drama', featuring Hollywood Gen Z icon Zendaya and actor Robert Pattinson, who is more familiar to domestic audiences through 'Mickey 17', deals with the conflicts and ironies experienced by two people who, on the verge of marriage, dig up secrets they would rather not know about each other, presented as a black comedy. It is one of the most anticipated works in Hollywood this first half of the year, directed by Christopher Vogler.

'Mother Mary', where Anne Hathaway plays the role of a pop star, is described as a work where she has poured her heart and soul into acting, reaching extreme situations that she can experience as an actress. The unique direction of David Lowery, who built a strong fandom with his previous work 'The Green Knight', is highly anticipated in this musical film.

Joo Hyun, the representative of Waterhole Company, which is involved in the domestic consecutive release of the three A24 films, stated, "A24 films are always unique and filled with stories and images that can make new attempts suitable for the current market. I am glad to have the opportunity to introduce A24's good works to the domestic audience once again." He also expressed, "It is an honor to be part of the process where Plus M Entertainment, which is currently showcasing the most diverse lineup in the Korean film market, attempts to meet audiences with even more diverse works."

Kim Yoo-jin, head of the Content Division at Plus M Entertainment, said, "I am happy to be able to continuously bring in and introduce good works from our Hollywood partner A24, and I am excited about the process of working with a new domestic partner like Waterhole Company. We will expand our collaboration with various partners to invigorate the theater market while satisfying the diverse tastes of audiences."

Industry insiders expressed expectations for this announcement, where A24's works, which have become the strongest names in Hollywood, are being introduced consecutively through a rare domestic partnership, viewing it as a fresh attempt and a new avenue. They hope that the results of these works will serve as a good signal in the stagnant foreign film import market and further wish for the film market to continue to thrive through new partnerships.

Starting with 'Eternity' in January 2026, 'The Drama' and 'Mother Mary' are set to sequentially meet audiences, promising to deliver the essence of well-made foreign films in theaters.
