Jo chats to James King about the latest films, including Firebrand and Starve Acre - and he's has spoken to Michael Keaton and Justin Theroux about Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

Firebrand is a new historical drama film focusing on Katherine Parr, Queen of England and widow of Henry VIII. With Alicia Vikander, Jude Law and Eddie Marsan, it is Brazilian director Karim AΓ―nouz's first English-language film.

Starring Matt Smith and Morfydd Clark, Starve Acre is a folk-horror film written by director Daniel Kokotaklo. It follows archaeologist Richard and his wife, Jules, who begin investigating a folklore about an ancient oak tree on their land after their son, Owen, begins to hear strange whistling sounds...

And it's the long-awaited sequel to the 1988 Tim Burton film - Beetlejuice Beetlejuice! Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder and Catherine O'Hara reprise their roles alongside new cast members Justin Theroux, Monica Bellucci, Jenna Ortega and Willem Dafoe. Set 36 years after the events of the first film, the Deetz family return home to Winter River, where their teenage daughter Astrid accidentally opens the portal to the afterlife, releasing Beetlejuice.
