Here is your May release Radar:

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 sees AACTA nominee Patrick Brammall join Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly nears retirement. Reuniting with Andy Sachs, she faces off against her former assistant turned rival, Emily Charlton, in the highly anticipated sequel.

In the latest screen adaptation of the iconic video game franchise, MORTAL KOMBAT II sees the champions of Earthrealm, now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban), forced into battle as they fight to resist the rule of Shao Kahn. Directed by Simon McQuoid.

THE SHEEP DETECTIVES stars Hugh Jackman as a shepherd who reads aloud a murder mystery, convinced his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the flock quickly realise it was murder, and set out to solve the case themselves.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? returns with eight prominent Australians embarking on deeply personal journeys into their family history, uncovering stories of love, loss and resilience.

Based on the bestselling book series, OFF CAMPUS follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives as they navigate love, heartbreak and self-discovery. The college drama stars Josh Heuston.

In a new documentary, SHAUN MICALLEF'S GOING FOR BROKE, Shaun investigates Aus,tralia’s complex relationship with gambling, tracing how a national pastime became a $32 billion industry, and asking how the country became the world’s biggest losers.

SHUT YOUR BIG FAT MOUTH JOHN SAFRAN! sees John Safran explore whether absolute freedom of speech still has a place in a multicultural society, or if it’s time for provocateurs like himself to be silenced.

THE HUNT FOR THE LAST NAZIS investigates how alleged Nazi war criminals were able to immigrate to Australia after World War II and remain hidden for decades, before a belated government effort in the 1980s sought to bring them to justice.
