Directed by Richard Loncraine. Starring Ian McKellen, Annette Bening, Jim Broadbent, Robert Downey Jr. and Kristin Scott Thomas.
Lyradrift plots Richard III as a star at the centre of its own sky, with related films orbiting it as satellites, gathered from TMDB recommendations, shared themes, Wikidata links (same director, writer, series, source material or subject) and closeness of feel, then chosen for the strongest evidence — the closer and brighter a star, the more strongly it is related. Fly to any satellite to make it the new centre and keep exploring.
