Netflix‘s film adaptation of “Remarkably Bright Creatures,” based on the novel of the same name by Shelby Van Pelt, arrives on the streamer’s platform this month. Starring Lewis Pullman, Sally Field, Joan Chen, Kathy Baker and Alfred Molina, the drama is set to premiere Friday, May 8 on Netflix.
The streamer’s other May premieres include the May 1 debut of “Swapped,” a new animated adventure film starring Michael B. Jordan, Juno Temple and Tracy Morgan. Meanwhile, later in the month, Netflix is slated to unveil “Ladies First,” a new comedy starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike about a male chauvinist who suddenly finds himself in an alternate reality where women hold all the social and cultural power that men do.
The film, which is directed by Thea Sharrock and loosely based on a 2018 French movie, is scheduled to arrive May 22 on Netflix.
Elsewhere, the streamer is also on deck to roll out “Marty, Life Is Short,” a new documentary about the life and career of “Only Murders in the Building” star Martin Short. Outside of the streamer’s brand-new originals, Netflix’s May lineup additionally includes a handful of exciting streaming acquisitions, including “13 Going on 30,” “Under the Skin” and Jordan Peele’s “Nope,” the latter of which arrives May 18 on the platform.
