As the summer movie season gets ready to kick off in theaters, Hulu highlights some A-list stars in indie films for its May calendar. In Eileen, Anne Hathaway plays a psychologist working at a correctional facility for boys in Massachusetts during the 1960s. Nicolas Cage looks characteristically unhinged as “The Passenger” in the psychological thriller Sympathy For The Devil. Mads Mikkelsen stars in the epic historical drama The Promised Land based on the book The Captain And Ann Barbara by Ida Jessen. Michael Mann’s biographical sports drama Ferrari stars Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, and Patrick Dempsey. Also coming to Hulu in May 2024 is Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time In America for its 40th anniversary, the horror-comedy 12 Hour Shift starring Angela Bettis, the drama The Sweet East, and much more.

M3GAN fans will want to check out the British sci-fi thriller T.I.M. starring Eamon Farren as the titular AI robot, an acronym for Technologically Integrated Manservant. The official synopsis reads: “When a robotics scientist (Georgina Campbell) and her adulterous husband (Mark Rowley) move to the country to start fresh, a humanoid A.I. threatens to undermine their marriage and more.” The feature-film debut of Spencer Brown, T.I.M. debuted in the U.K. on Netflix but ended up on Hulu on this side of the pond.

    What’s interesting about Once Upon a Time in America is that American theatrical cut is almost impossible to find now. A few years after its release, the vastly superior European edit became available and that has been the version that’s been in circulation ever since. The theatrical cut was only available on VHS for a short period of time and has been out of circulation for almost 40 years.
