The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Argylle () is a 2024 action-comedy film produced and directed by Matthew Vaughn, and written by Jason Fuchs. The film features an ensemble cast, including Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson. Its plot centres on a reclusive author who is drawn into the world of spies and espionage after she realises that a new spy novel she is writing mirrors real-world events. It was filmed in Europe from August to December 2021. Argylle premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on 24 January 2024, and was released in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2024, and in the United States on 2 February. The film received mostly negative reviews from critics, and grossed $96.2 million. Argylle is a standalone spin-off from the Kingsman franchise, with a crossover between the two planned as part of an intended spy-focused shared universe from Vaughn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
