2025’s summer movie season is now heating up, and ScreenRant is thrilled to share sneak peeks of 37 new and upcoming movies from May through August! This year has seen its fair share of triumphs and challenges in cinema, with hits like Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” and the video game adaptation “A Minecraft Movie” soaring high on box office charts while other films have struggled. But as we move forward into the latter part of the year, a host of exciting titles are poised to debut both in theaters and streaming platforms.
In the upcoming summer movie lineup, ScreenRant anticipates a diverse array of films set to premiere, ranging from blockbuster hits like Superman, The Karate Kid: Legends, and How to Train Your Dragon, to smaller-scale dramas such as Darren Aronofsky’s Caught Stealing. Additionally, the horror genre will be well-represented with titles like Final Destination Bloodlines, Fear Street: Prom Queen, I Know What You Did Last Summer, 28 Years Later, and M3GAN 2.0. We’ll provide exclusive sneak peeks at some of the season’s most eagerly awaited movies, featuring stars such as Charlize Theron, Jenna Ortega, and Natalie Portman.
1. Clown In A Cornfield – May 9, 2025
The Slasher Novel Comes To Life On The Big Screen
As a cinephile eagerly anticipating the summer film season, I can’t help but be intrigued by the chilling premise of “Clown in a Cornfield.” This upcoming horror masterpiece, set to grace our screens in 2025, is adapted from the gripping 2020 young adult horror novel of the same name by Adam Cesare.
Contrary to its playful title, this film delves deep into the grim realities of an economic crisis that has crippled the once-thriving town of Kettle Springs. Our heroine, Quinn Maybrook (portrayed by the talented Katie Douglas), finds herself transplanted in this troubled town at the start of our tale. However, fear not, slasher enthusiasts! The film promises to serve up a generous helping of heart-pounding suspense, as evidenced by this exclusive sneak peek from “Clown in a Cornfield.”
In this tantalizing image, we catch a glimpse of the murderous Frendo the Clown lurking menacingly in the shadows, poised to strike his next victim. The tension is palpable, and I can’t wait to see how this chilling tale unfolds on the big screen!
