This month on HBO Max, the original movie “Those Who Wish Me Dead” will be released in theaters and on the streamer. In it, assassins chase a teenage murder witness (Finn Little) through the Montana wilderness. All he has to protect him is a fire-watcher (Angelina Jolie), risking everything to help him, even as a forest fire threatens.

An original HBO Max show, “Hacks” explores a difficult mentorship between Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), an old-school Las Vegas comedian whose material is a bit passé, and the entitled, but ambitious 25-year-old writer (Hannah Einbinder) she hires to make her act more relevant.

On the streamer’s doc front, “The Crime of the Century” is a two-part series that slams Big Pharma and the political ops that enabled and abused the distribution of synthetic opiates. It’s directed by award-winner Alex Gibney (“Going Clear: Scientology & the Prison of Belief”).
