Outside the Wire
Each weekend promises a bevy of new movies to stream—and the next three days will be no different. There will be 22 new films to choose from on the major streaming devices between now and Sunday.
Netflix will be introducing ten new films to its digital lineup, while four other streaming outlets—Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+ and Peacock—will be adding another 12 to the plate.
Here’s every one of those movies, and when and where they’ll be available for watching. I’ll first highlight the biggest movie coming to each platform. Then at the end of the article, you can find a full list of every new movie.
Outside the Wire (Netflix)
Netflix has had great success with its action movies so far. Extraction, The Old Guard and Project Power all ranked among the streaming outlet’s top movies in 2020—and now the new year is continuing that trend with Outside the Wire. This Anthony Mackie film takes place in the near future when a war zone pilot must pair up with a top-secret android officer to stop a nuclear attack.
One Night in Miami (Amazon Prime)
Amazon Prime has made a serious effort to give Black filmmakers more of a voice on its platform. Recently the streaming service premiered Sylvie’s Love, and is now featuring a new film from Regina King called One Night in Miami. The movie centers on a discussion between Malcolm X, Jim Brown, Cassius Clay and Sam Cooke during the civil rights movement.
Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 (HBO Max)
Quentin Tarantino has, of course, made several classic films over his short career. And now the filmmaker’s legendary duology—Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2—have made their way to HBO Max. The series focuses on a character referred to as “The Bride” (played by Uma Thurman) who is hellbent on exacting revenge on the man who shot her and left her for dead.
Isle of Dogs (Disney+)
Wes Anderson has enjoyed an illustrious career over the past nearly 30 years, with movies like Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and The Grand Budapest Hotel. And in 2018, the director added to his animation catalog with Isle of Dogs. The movie follows a boy who’s on the search for his lost dog in a dystopian future.
Hanna (Peacock)
Joe Wright has become well-respected for his period dramas, such as Atonement, Anna Karenina and Pride & Prejudice. But back in 2011, he actually crafted an incredibly adept action film with Hanna. The movie follows a girl named Hanna, who has been trained to be an elite assassin. After years of training, her father sends her off on a mission.
