Django (Series) - Release Date: August 9

A reimagining of the classic 1966 Western by Sergio Corbucci, Django is helmed by Francesca Comencini, the acclaimed director of Italian crime drama Gomorrah. This isn't your typical spaghetti western — it's got a fresh, modern twist that dives deep into psychological and even feminist themes. In it, fearless gunslinger Django roams the Wild West, desperately searching for his daughter who he believes miraculously escaped the slaughter of their family. The stakes are high, the drama intense, and the characters richly developed.
