Two films premiered in UK cinemas on February 20, 2026: the sci-fi comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die and the horror comedy Cold Storage.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is directed by Gore Verbinski, whose previous credits include Pirates of the Caribbean and Rango; this is his first film in a decade. Sam Rockwell plays a man from the future who takes patrons of a Los Angeles diner hostage in search of recruits for a quest to save the world. The supporting cast comprises Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple. The score is composed by Geoff Zanelli, marking his first collaboration with Verbinski as primary composer. Zanelli's earlier works include the miniseries Into the West, films Disturbia, Hitman, and Outlander, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The film's only key song is 'It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)' by R.E.M.
Cold Storage is directed by Jonny Campbell, known for Alien Autopsy, and adapted from the book by David Koepp. It follows two employees at a self-storage company who fight to survive against a contagious, mutating fungus that escapes a sealed facility. Georgina Campbell and Joe Keery lead the cast, with supporting roles by Sosie Bacon, Vanessa Redgrave, Lesley Manville, and Liam Neeson as a bioterror operative. The score comes from Mathieu Lamboley, whose credits include the TV series Lupin, Cassandra, and Art of Crime. The featured songs are 'I Get Around' by The Beach Boys, 'One Way Or Another' by Blondie, and a cover of '(Don’t Fear) The Reaper' by Leo Moracchioli during the end credits.
These releases provide varied genre experiences, each enhanced by their musical components.
