HBO Max and HBO subscribers have got a lot of hot new content still to come this summer. The full list of what’s due up on the platforms in August has been released, and it promises a ton of classic titles and some unmissable originals, including the return of a major TV series and one of the biggest movies of the month on any platform.
August 1st delivers a load of great freshly licensed films – mostly on HBO, but a number on HBO Max too. Including Christopher Nolan’s Inception, Harrison Ford thriller The Fugitive and 90s comic book flick Spawn. There’s also horror spoof Scary Movie, actual horror Thirteen Ghosts and Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan romcom You’ve Got Mail.
Skipping ahead to August 5th and we have the movie event of the month for superhero fans as James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad finally arrives. As with previous HBO Max simultaneous releases, subscribers will be able to catch the DCEU film for 31 days after its theatrical debut. This standalone sequel sees Task Force X reunite for what promises to be an R-rated, no-holds-barred war movie. Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena and Viola Davis star.
The treats don’t stop there for DC lovers either, as August 12th brings the premiere of Titans season 3, the show’s first to drop exclusively on HBO Max. This time around, the young heroes relocate to Gotham City, which means we can expect the introductions of iconic Bat-family characters like Barbara Gordon, Tim Drake and Red Hood. Fans may also want to check out Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which lands on the 3rd.
On August 20th, the second biggest movie of the month launches – high-concept sci-fi Reminiscence. The directorial debut of Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy, Hugh Jackman stars as a private investigator who can access people’s memories, but things get complicated when he falls for one of his clients (Rebecca Ferguson).
