0:00On April 28th, sheep-solving murders? Yeah, that's the hook for the sheep detectives hitting theaters May 8th. Picture this, a flock investigates their shepherd's death, played by Hugh Jackman with Emma Thompson in the mix. It's got strong early buzz from solid rotten tomato scores and it's slated for the 2026 lineup. Chris Miller, co-director of the hit Project Hail Mary, gave it a big thumbs up. He worked on the film as an executive producer alongside Phil Lord and after screening the finished cut for his family, they were hooked. Thing-talking animals with a sharp who-done-it twist pure fun. Fans are losing it over the vibe, blending that wholesome animal adventure feel from 90s classics with clever mystery plotting. The casting concept alone have folks marking calendars, especially after seeing the early praise roll in. Lord and Miller's track record seals the deal. They crushed it with Project Hail Mary this year, pulling massive box office and they're the geniuses. Behind Spider-Verse, the Lego movie, and 21 Jump Street.
