Exciting Full Trailer for Max's 'Dune: Prophecy' Spin-Off Sci-Fi Series

"The Imperium is a circus of fear and rumor. I'm surrounded by vipers!" Whoa! This looks awesome. WB has revealed their full official trailer for the epic new sci-fi series Dune: Prophecy, a spin-off show that will stream on Max in November. It's the best trailer yet! Set 10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides, before the universe knew them as the Bene Gesserit... This is directly connected to Denis Villeneuve's two (so far) brilliant Dune movies but takes place in the distant past. Based on the book "Sisterhood of Dune" by Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Frank's son). A better intro from the novel: "It is eighty-three years after the last of the thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium. Great changes are brewing that will shape and twist all of humankind." So much going on in this trailer! Dune: Prophecy stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Mark Strong, Jade Anouka, Chris Mason, Jodhi May, Josh Heuston, Tabu, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Shalom Brune-Franklin. Yes I am ALL in. Looks even better than I was hoping! Epic and exciting, grandiose sci-fi with many worlds to explore. Bring it on. // Continue Reading ›

Macedonian Zombies Dark Thriller Film 'Beyond the Wasteland' Trailer

"You are not ready to see what's out there." Well Go USA has debuted an official trailer for a dark thriller film called Beyond the Wasteland, made by filmmaker Vardan Tozija, originally titled just M during its festival premiere. This film comes from Macedonia and is a new take on a post-apocalyptic future - though it's really just another zombie movie. Not to be confused with another doc also called Beyond the Wasteland that is about Mad Max fans, this is a gritty horror feature instead. In a world ravaged by a deadly virus, a young boy is faced with losing everything as he journeys through a shattered world, shrouded in silence and overtaken by the infected and the conflict-torn remnants of humanity. The indie film stars Matej Sivakov, Sashko Kocev, Aleksandar Nicovski, Kamka Tocinovski, Bojana Gregoric Vejzovic, and Verica Nedeska. It won an award at the Sofia Film Festival for the "remarkable work with the child actors in the anti-utopian fairy tale." It seems to be yet another another leftover pandemic movie about believing in hope in a dark & careless world (full of mindless zombies), which seems to still be extremely relevant these days. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for Rodrigo Prieto's Film 'Pedro Páramo' from Mexico

"From now on, we make the laws." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for the film Pedro Páramo, the first feature directed by the acclaimed, Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto. This film just premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and will be out on Netflix to watch starting in November. The story follows a dusty road to a town of death. Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of dreams, desires, and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the figure of Pedro Páramo – lover, overlord, murderer. Pedro Páramo not only pays tribute to Mexico's most important literary work, it is also a tribute to love, one as powerful as it is macabre, capable of bringing the entire town of Comala and all its inhabitants down with it... Based on Juan Rulfo's masterpiece. Featuring Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Pedro Paramo, Tenoch Huerta, Dolores Heredia, Ilse Salas, Héctor Kotsifakis, Mayra Batalla, Roberto Sosa, Giovanna Zacarías, Noé Hernández, and Yoshira Escárrega.

Spanish Robbery Thriller 'You Would Do It Too' Trailer from Apple TV+

"Would you hide the truth for justice?" Apple TV has unveiled an official US trailer for a Spanish mystery thriller series called You Would Do It Too, created by David Victori and Jordi Vallejo. This crime series comes from Spain and it already debuted streaming in Spain and Mexico a year ago. Apple just caught up with it now and will send it streaming in the US on Apple TV+ soon. An armed robbery takes place on the bus line that connects the airport with several cities near Barcelona. The result? The three dead robbers, a wanted person, and six witnesses can't identify the fugitive. Why won't they talk? As they navigate a world where perception often trumps reality, this thriller shines a spotlight on the importance of truth in today's society and the lengths people will go to protect their own version of it. Starring Ana Polvorosa, Michelle Jenner, Pablo Molinero, and José Manuel Poga. These kind of twisty crime and murder, who-did-it / why, series are pretty popular in the US, too. Which is why I think Apple hopes this will catch on with US audiences as well, wondering what's going on with this bus robbery. Who is this strange savior guy anyway? // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for Adventure Film 'The Legend of Ochi' from Isaiah Saxon

"They can't be our pets." "He's my friend." A24 has revealed an official trailer for a magical new adventure film called The Legend of Ochi, marking the feature debut of up-and-coming filmmaker Isaiah Saxon. He has created many shorts and other cinema projects, but this is his first movie and it's gorgeous. "Something else is out there..." A young girl who lives on a mysterious island heads off on her own into the wilderness when she befriends a little creature known as an Ochi. Similar to a monkey, but not like anything that really exists. The rest is a mystery, though IMDb adds that she "uncovers the mysteries of animal communication." Look at this little cutie! Reminds me of Gizmo from Gremlins. The film stars Helena Zengel (from System Crasher & News of the World), Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson, and Willem Dafoe. It was originally filmed in 2021 and took three years to complete. Some scenes of the film have been shot in Transylvania, in the Apuseni Mountains, at the Bâlea Lake and on the Transfăgărășan road. I really want to watch this! They don't really make these kind of magical fantasy adventure films anymore, but here we finally have another. // Continue Reading ›
