Türkiye's cinema screens are set to welcome a diverse lineup of international releases over the coming weeks, with Academy Award-winning talent, Hollywood heavyweights and genre-spanning stories making their way to local audiences.

Hamnet

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao brings her latest film, Hamnet, to screens, telling the story of love and loss said to have inspired William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Hamlet. The biographical drama stars Paul Mescal, Jessie Buckley and Emily Watson.

The film runs 125 minutes and is classified as drama, biography and historical.

The Drama

A romantic drama arrives April 3, directed by Kristoffer Borgli and starring Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Alana Haim. The film follows Emma Harwood and Charlie Thompson, a couple whose engagement is upended days before their wedding by an unexpected revelation.

What begins as a romantic story shifts into an emotional examination of love, trust and commitment.

Cold Heist

Also opening April 3, the Spanish action thriller Soguk Soygun runs 90 minutes and is directed by Daniel Calparsoro. The film is set during an unprecedented snowstorm that paralyzes Spain, trapping hundreds of motorists, including an armored vehicle carrying a large sum of cash.

A group of criminals exploits the chaos to execute a heist, while stranded civilians and security personnel fight to survive the conditions. The cast includes Antonio Resines, Natalia Azahara and Roger Casamajor.

Iron Lung

Opening April 10, Iron Lung is a 125-minute horror thriller directed by Mark Fischbach, who also stars in the film alongside Caroline Kaplan and Troy Baker.

Set in a future where stars and planets have vanished in an event known as the Quiet Rapture, the story follows a convict sealed inside a submarine and sent to explore an ocean of blood discovered on a barren moon. The film marks the 13th such expedition.

How to Make a Killing

Rounding out the April 10 releases, How to Make a Killing is a 98-minute thriller-comedy-drama starring Glen Powell, Margaret Qualley and Jessica Henwick.

The film centers on Beckett, the estranged grandchild of the ultra-wealthy Redfellow family, who, faced with being passed over in the inheritance, begins eliminating those ahead in line.
