Watch: Edgar Wright's New Music Video for Julia Cumming's 'My Life'

"I'm too wholesome or too boring or too quiet or loud; I'm too sexy or too modest or I'm lost in the crowd; I'm too literal, then I just make no sense at all; I fall in love and then feel trapped and stumble and fall?" There's a new music video out to watch for a song called "My Life", which is the debut single by artist Julia Cumming. It's her first solo single – though some might also recognize her from the band Sunflower Bean before this. The music video is directed by none other than Edgar Wright, maestro of genre cinema known for the Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End) and The Running Man last year. Edgar explains on Twitter: "It's mostly one single shot (take 14, since you asked) and I couldn't even begin to make a vid like this without an AMAZING crew who worked their socks off." The film follows musician Julia Cumming on her daily adventures, dancing through life & questioning who she is. View the vid below. // Continue Reading ›

"This is a war for the fate of your world!" Whoa this looks like it might actually be amazingly good. WB has revealed the second official trailer action sequel Mortal Kombat II (MK2), based on the popular video platform fighting game series. This is a follow-up to the most recent live-action Mortal Kombat movie that opened back 2021. It was supposed to debut last fall (here's the first trailer) but has been delayed until May - and it will be worth the wait. Fan fave champions—joined by Johnny Cage himself—are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. Let them fight! "We had up the ante on every aspect," says the actor playing Shao Kahn. Karl Urban stars as Johnny Cage (from his own movie Uncaged Fury), and joined by Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, and Damon Herriman, with Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Raiden, Joe Taslim as Bi-Han, + Hiroyuki Sanada as Hanzo Hasashi / Scorpion. I'm impressed by this trailer! Outstanding! This movie might just turn out to be the best Mortal Kombat movie yet. Who's in? // Continue Reading ›

Rory Kinnear in Feel-Good Banking Sequel 'Bank of Dave 2' US Trailer

"They're praying on the most vulnerable & desperate." Quiver has revealed the official US trailer for a new sequel called Bank of Dave 2, arriving in the US on VOD this March. It's already out on Netflix UK for streaming over there after premiering in Burnley, UK. The full title is Bank of Dave 2: The Loan Ranger - which is a fun name for this character. Rory Kinnear reprises his role as the real-life Burnley businessman Dave Fishwick, sequel to the 2023 hit Bank of Dave, this time taking on a new, more dangerous adversary: The Payday Lenders. Kinnear leads an ensemble that also includes Chrissy Metz, who plays an American investigative journalist. Directed by Chris Foggin, who also helmed the original film, the sequel reunites the creative team behind the widely praised first film. In this feel-good sequel, local hero Dave Fishwick takes on ruthless payday lenders scamming Brits nationwide. With help from new allies—and his celebrity status—Dave exposes a corrupt American loan shark, sparking a viral crusade that lands him in New York City, in court, and even onstage with Def Leppard. Starring Kinnear along with Rob Delaney, Hugh Bonneville, Chrissy Metz, and Dan Fogler. This actually seems like a nice story about taking down asshole bankers. // Continue Reading ›

"We're buddies. I keep no secrets from you." Will they find their car? Screen Daily has revealed a festival official trailer for a new documentary film from Denmark titled Petrolheads, made by doc filmmaker Emil Langballe. This is premiering at the prestigious CPH:DOX Film Festival in Copenhagen starting next month - which is why this promo trailer is out now.

"A warm film that goes straight to the heart." The film is about two Danish guys named Martin and Casper. The director Emil is Martin's older brother, riding along in the backseat capturing their journey to find this one special car & bring it back home. "He has created a true buddy movie: a funny, genuine, and touching film about a friendship that endures when everything else falls apart." I'm a fan of any kind of unique docs - they're more intimate, honest, and fascinating than most movies out every year. This one seems especially worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›

New Trailer for Riz Ahmed's 'Hamlet' Film Set in Modern Day London

"Woe is me to have seen what I have seen." Vertical has debuted a new official US trailer for this new take on the Shakespeare classic Hamlet - it is a South Asian London "re-imagining" or reinvention of the tale of vengeance. Aneil Karia's Hamlet premiered at the 2025 Telluride, Toronto, and London Film Festivals last year to very mixed reviews. TIFF states: "The setting and cultural placement reveal how powerfully the play speaks to issues around identity, intergenerational tensions, contemporary struggles over duty, faith, and belonging. Shakespeare's words remain — but what’s changed is the ground beneath them. And that shift is everything." Adding that Riz Ahmed's "long-standing dream to take on this role, in partnership with Karia, results in a performance that feels both deeply classical and bracingly new." This new Shakespeare film stars Riz Ahmed as Hamlet, with an impressive ensemble featuring Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Timothy Spall, Art Malik, Sheeba Chaddha, & Avijitt Dutt. With cinematography by Stuart Bentley. This looks interesting but not exactly the most exciting film. Out in US theaters this April if anyone's curious anyway. // Continue Reading ›
