1. Idiots (August 28, 2026)
Dinklage will star alongside Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson in Macon Blair’s comedy movie ‘Idiots.’ Written by Blair and Alex Orr, the movie follows rock-bottom drivers Mark (Franco) and Davis (Jackson), tasked with transporting a rich, troubled teen named Sheridan to rehab. While Davis is an outright cynical guy, and Davis is an idealist, an unlikely combo, the task appears simple. Unfortunately, Sheridan has something else in mind. Soon, the transfer takes the shape of a chaotic ride fueled by drugs, criminals, and, of course, danger. Having no idea how to deal with it all, Mark and Davis must do whatever it takes to complete their objective, and the first step towards that is to accept that it’s not the destination that matters, it’s the ”idiots” one meets during the journey. The cast also includes Mason Thames, Kiernan Shipka, and Nicholas Braun. The movie premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and will be released on August 28, 2026.
