We’re only a handful of days into the New Year, but we’re already receiving news of what movies and TV shows will leave Netflix UK in February 2024.
In case you missed it, we’re also keeping track of all of the movies and TV shows leaving Netflix UK in January 2024. If you’re looking for the US removals list, you can find all the departures for those in our February list here.
As a reminder, we typically get word of Netflix removals around 30 days before they’re due to happen. Netflix removes titles because much of its library consists of licensed titles. These licensed titles are essentially rented to Netflix for a fixed period of time, and when that time is up, they’re removed from the platform.
Unlike the United States, Netflix UK doesn’t confirm or publicize its own list of removals,...

There’s no shortage of movies about kids who discover they possess special powers. Most of these, however — from The Incredibles to the Harry Potter franchise to the Razzie-nominated Tim Allen-starring Zoom: Academy for Superheroes (no, we didn’t bother either) — are very much aimed at a younger audience. But how about a film that absolutely isn’t, to the extent that its main stars have some years to go before they’re ever going to be able to watch it themselves?
This is certainly the case with The Innocents, Eskil Vogt’s chilling Scandinavian supernatural thriller, which is now in post-production and up for grabs ...

Stone Leads Razzie Awards
Sharon Stone's Basic Instinct 2 sequel appears to be have been a risk not worth taking after notching up seven nominations at next month's Razzie Awards, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress Of The Year. Competing against the film in the Worst Picture category is BloodRayne, Lady In The Water, The Wicker Man, and the Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans comedy Little Man, which also received seven nominations including Worst Director. The Wayans brothers share a Worst Actor nod battling against Little Man co-star Rob Schneider, The Wicker Man's Nicolas Cage, Larry The Cable Guy for Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector. And Tim Allen has three nominations in the same category - for The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, The Shaggy Dog and Zoom. Meanwhile, sisters Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff are both nominated for Worst Actress for their roles in Material Girls. They will fight it out with Stone, Jessica Simpson for Employee Of The Month, Lindsay Lohan for Just My Luck and Kristanna Loken for BloodRayne. Stone - who has previously won the Razzie for Worst Actress for The Specialist and Intersection - earns another mention for her "lopsided breasts" in the category for Worst Screen Couple. The awards' founder, John Wilson, says, "She's what we call a Razzie repeat offender. Perhaps even a recidivist."...

Fox, Marvel drop lawsuit over 'Zoom'
20th Century Fox and Marvel Enterprises have withdrawn the suit they filed in June against Revolution Studios and Sony Pictures, charging them with copyright infringement and unfair competition for planning to release the superhero comedy Zoom on May 12, 2006, two weeks ahead of Fox's X3 (HR 6/21). Fox declined comment beyond saying the dispute had been resolved amicably. Zoom now is moving to an August date, though a source at Revolution would not say that was a condition for Fox's withdrawing the suit, instead saying it was dictated by the fact Warner Bros. Pictures announced a May 12 release date for Poseidon, forcing Zoom to move to a less-heavily populated August date.

Twentieth Century Fox Sues Sony Pictures Over 'X-Men' Similarities
Hollywood studio Twentieth Century Fox and comic book company Marvel Enterprises filed a lawsuit on Monday against Sony Pictures and Revolution Studios to delay the release of Zoom - a movie they believe is too similar to their X-Men films. Both projects center on children who possess special powers and are shunned by normal society before they enroll in a special to school to learn how to harness their abilities. Twentieth Century Fox and Marvel Enterprises allege Sony Pictures and Revolution Studios deliberately brought forward the release date of their movie in an attempt to attract cinema-goers before X-Men 3 is released on May 26, 2006. Legal papers filed in a California federal court state: "Just days after Fox announced X3 would be released on May 26, 2006, Sony and Revolution deliberately moved up Zoom's release so that it would come two weeks before, instead of 11 weeks after the release of X3." Fox and Marvel have also asked the court to force Sony and Revolution to remove material from their movie which is similar to X-Men content. Fox also allege Revolution ignored a written warning to leave out X-Men references in Zoom's Academy - even though some script changes were made. The lawsuit continues: "Although Revolution changed some parts of Zoom's Academy script... those few cosmetic changes cannot cover up the fact that Zoom continues to copy key elements, concepts, themes, characters and story lines from X-Men." Zoom, a comedy satire set to star Tim Allen, has not yet gone into production.

Marvel, Fox sue over 'Zoom'
Accusing Revolution Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment of copyright infringement and unfair competition, Marvel Enterprises and 20th Century Fox have filed suit against Sony and Revolution, claiming that the upcoming Sony/Revolution sci-fi comedy Zoom uses key elements from the X-Men franchise. The lawsuit, seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages, was filed Monday in U.S. District Court, Central District of California. It alleges that Zoom, which stars Tim Allen and Chevy Chase and is based on Jason Lethcoe's graphic novel Zoom's Academy for the Super Gifted, borrows heavily from the X-Men mythology, popularized in the Marvel comic books and the two Fox/Marvel film adaptations.
