This remake of the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name brings a strong representative cast.

Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror. Despite its setting in the beautiful- yet-dangerous Australian wilderness, Apex is not a movie about man vs. nature. Instead, it’s woman vs. man.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
