I'd love to hear Lojban in a mainstream movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban

Bonus points if it's sold as random fantasy language of a strange country and the main cast doesn't understand it either.

Lojban is so big, you could create different cultures simply by omitting or making mandatory different bits. This group doesn't use rafsi but evidentials are mandatory; that group doesn't use any of the time-space marking but the other does, etc.

Not quite a movie but having Lojban as the setting fantasy language is the idea behind this new production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJATTd6vF8
