10 Upcoming Movies With INSANE Premises
1. The Entertainment System Is Down
And finally, we have the new film from Triangle of Sadness filmmaker Ruben Östlund.
The Entertainment System Is Down takes place on a long-haul flight where the onboard entertainment system fails and the passengers are forced to face the prospect of a most horrifying outcome - being really, really bored throughout the flight.
The concept should naturally provide Östlund with plenty of ammunition to satirise our contemporary reliance on technology and apparent inability to simply sit still and enjoy the silence. Better yet, the star-studded cast includes the illustrious likes of Kirsten Dunst, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Brühl, Nicholas Braun, and Samantha Morton.
In a recent interview, Östlund revealed that the production even purchased a real-life Boeing 747 within which to shoot the film, rather than relying on a hollowed-out, extended shell as most movies shot inside of planes tend to.
Would it surprise anyone if this off-the-wall setup led to Östlund's third Palme d'Or win at Cannes in 2026?
