Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week. MOVIES — After a bit of a hiatus from action films, Angelina Jolie is back in the thriller “Those Who Wish Me Dead” as a Montana smoke jumper who comes across a 12-year-old boy (Finn Little) on the run and in need of help. Director Taylor Sheridan, the Oscar-nominated writer of “Hell or High Water” and co-creator of the TV series “Yellowstone,” told the AP that the film was “very on-brand” for him and his proclivity for stories about vengeance and the American West. Available Friday on HBO Max for 31 days, “Those Who Wish Me Dead” co-stars Nicholas Hoult, Jon Bernthal and Tyler Perry. — This week also sees the long-awaited release of director Joe Wright’s “The Woman in the Window” adaptation, starring Amy Adams as an agoraphobic psychologist who becomes obsessed with solving a crime she sees from her window. It’s a film that has everything going for it in terms of pedigree. Tracy Letts wrote the adaptation of A.J. Finn’s bestseller and it co-stars Gary Oldman, Brian Tyree Henry, Julianne Moore, Anthony Mackie and Jennifer Jason Leigh. But it’s also seen several setbacks, with delays due to bad test screenings, re-editing and the pandemic before the studio eventually sold it to Netflix, where it debuts Friday. Has it been salvaged? Will it be a disaster? Wright has had more triumphs than missteps over the years, so regardless it’s worth a shot and it won’t even cost the price of a movie ticket to try.More Related News
