‘La Bola Negra’ Trailer: Los Javis’ Queer Spanish Epic Drops in Fall
It’s full speed ahead for Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi’s lavish, lush, and queer historical drama “La Bola Negra” this fall movie season. It’s now a surefire Oscar heavyweight and even frontrunner, especially after winning the Oscar-precursory TIFF People’s Choice Award first prize.
Known as Los Javis, the filmmakers (who are also exes) shared the Best Director prize at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival with Pawel Pawlikowski for “Fatherland.” It’s easy to see why, as their unabashedly grand movie traverses multiple 20th- and 21st-century timelines with impeccable craft to resurrect an unfinished text by Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. The film will also mark Netflix’s longest theatrical window to date once “La Bola Negra” launches in select theaters on October 16. Watch the full official trailer below.
“La Bola Negra” is inspired by an unfinished play of the same name by Lorca, the gay writer who rose to fame in the 1920s as a member of the Spanish literary movement Generation of ’27. Lorca was murdered in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War by followers of Francisco Franco, and his body remains undiscovered to this day.
The film weaves together three interconnected stories of the lives of gay men across a century of Spanish history. One storyline set in 1932 is based on Lorca’s original play, about a young man named Carlos (Milo Quife) who applies for membership to his father’s casino but faces accusations of homosexuality. A 1937 storyline draws on material from the play “La piedra oscura” by Alberto Conejero, who co-wrote the screenplay with Los Javis, and follows a musician-turned-Nationalist soldier, Sebastián (Guitarricadelafuente), who develops a relationship with prisoner-of-war Rafael Rodríguez Rapún (Miguel Bernardeau), Lorca’s real-life lover. The final storyline in 2017 follows Alberto (Carlos González), a history grad student researching queer music of the 1920s whose long-lost maternal grandfather unexpectedly dies.
The cast of “La Bola Negra” also includes Pedro Almodóvar muse Lola Dueñas, a scene-stealing Penélope Cruz, plus Glenn Close (speaking Spanish!), Julio Torres, and Yenesi. The film also has a score by Raül Refree, along with the original song “La Nieve,” written and performed by Guitarricadelafuente.
Here’s the trailer for “La Bola Negra.”
“La Bola Negra” opens in select Los Angeles and New York theaters starting October 16, with more markets to follow. It will then debut on the Netflix streaming platform December 2.

The film, which does not yet have a director, extends a longstanding creative partnership between Cody and Novick, who have now worked together on over 10 projects: Novick was Oscar-nominated for producing Cody’s Best Picture nominee Juno and is currently working with her on a sequel to her cult classic Jennifer’s Body.
Kahane worked with Cody & Novick on the films Juno and Young Adult during his time at Mandate Pictures. He told us, “I couldn’t imagine a better time to reunite with my former collaborators Diabo Cody and Mason Novick than a moment when younger audiences are rediscovering the joy of the theatrical experience.”
Best known for breakout with Juno, the coming-of-age romance that brought her the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, Cody’s filmography also includes titles like Tully, Ricki and the Flash, Lisa Frankenstein and more, in addition to those previously mentioned. She is represented by WME and MXN Entertainment.

‘Tulsa King Season 4 Trailer’: “Bad Things Are Going To Happen”
“Thing happen, they change the course of a man’s life,” says Sylvester Stallone‘s Dwight at the opening of the Season 4 trailer for Tulsa King. “If I find out whose fault this is, bad things are gonna happen to bad people,” warns the beaten-down Dwight.
Per the Season 4 logline, Dwight (Stallone) fights to legitimize his empire and protect his crew as corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies, and a crushing personal loss hit from every direction. However, every hard-won gain comes with even harder truths: about loyalty, leadership and the cost of ambition. Each move drags Dwight deeper into the street instincts he left behind in New York – turning Tulsa into a battleground and Dwight into the one threat no one can afford to underestimate.
“Everything I own is gone,” Dwight laments a bit later in the trailer. “I’m not ready to fold.” he confidently asserts. “I’m gonna get it all back.”
We also see a bit more of new cast member Gretchen Mol in the trailer. Mol plays Amanda Clark, a Tulsa politician. When asked by a reporter, “Has the mob come to Oklahoma?” she replies sternly, “It may have come, but it sure as hell ain’t staying’.”
Terence Winter is head writer and executive producer. Sheridan and Stallone executive produce, along with David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Thomas Kelly, and Keith Cox.
The series, which premieres Friday, October 16 on Paramount+, is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Check out the trailer above and see first-look photos here.
