First Look Filming Promo for Andy Serkis' 'LOTR: The Hunt for Gollum'

"Andddd... action!" Here we go, LOTR fans! Warner Bros has released a first look promo video to announce the start of production on the next new LOTR movie. Andy Serkis is now underway filming The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, a prequel connected directly to the original all-timer trilogy of Lord of the Rings movies made by Peter Jackson (from 2001-2003). The original crew is back (including Jackson) producing this new movie, which is being directed by Andy Serkis who is also starring in the movie in the lead role as Gollum. It's told from the POV of Gollum, set before and during the events of The Fellowship of the Ring, leading up to the Company of the Ring entering the Mines of Moria (which is of course where they first encounter Gollum in those movies). The movie's cast features Andy Serkis as Gollum / Sméagol, Ian McKellen back as Gandalf the Grey, Kate Winslet as Marigol, Jamie Dornan as Strider, Leo Woodall as Halvard, Lee Pace as Thranduil, Anya Taylor-Joy as the Sindar Elf Seren, plus the original Elijah Wood returning again as Frodo Baggins. Serkis said he couldn't put Frodo in this movie if it wasn't Elijah back. I really, really hope this one turns out good. Even though in my opinion we still don't need to try and make more of these, I am feeling much more confident with Serkis and Jackson and everyone handling this one. Stay tuned for more updates – it's set for release starting in December 2027 next year. Filming now. // Continue Reading ›

New US Trailer for Belgian Love Story 'Julian' Starring Nina Meurisse

"What if we got married everywhere?" Strand Releasing debuted the official US trailer for the film Julian, made by Belgian filmmaker Cato Kusters as her feature debut. This first premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last year and already hit theaters in Belgium last fall. Produced by fellow Belgian filmmaker Lukas Dhont, based on the memoir "Julian" written by Fleur Pierets. Fleur and Julian fall madly in love and decide to get married in all of the countries where they, as two women, are allowed to do so. After only four marriages, their journey comes to a painful and unexpected halt. Described as "an impressive, understated directorial debut about love, loss and the bravery required to keep trying to live in an unfair world." Starring Nina Meurisse as Fleur & Laurence RootHooft as the titular Julian. Other reviews are very positive, saying: "Julian invites us not just to witness this love, but to feel it, carry it, and recognize the injustice that made such a project necessary in the first place." Sounds great! And this footage looks very passionate and extra intense following this couple around. Opens in the US in limited art house theaters soon this summer. // Continue Reading ›

A24 has revealed a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Tony, made by brilliant Canadian filmmaker Matt Johnson (following Operation Avalanche, BlackBerry, and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie). Ready for release in August during the summer. This film is about the real life chef / author / TV personality Anthony Bourdain, best known as the iconic host of travel program "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" on CNN. Dominic Sessa (from The Holdovers) star as the young Tony during his early years. The movie takes place back in 1976, when a young Bourdain had a life-changing experience working as a line chef in Provincetown, MA – which became the basis of his book "Kitchen Confidential". It follows Bourdain, angsty aspiring writer, as he pursues a girl who eventually draws him into the culinary world. This stars Sessa as "Tony", Emilia Jones, Dagmara Domińczyk, Rich Sommer, Stavros Halkias, Leo Woodall, with Antonio Banderas.

It will be out in theaters very soon. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for Buddy Comedy 'Mayday' with Reynolds & Branagh

"Where'd you learn to fight like that?" "None of us escape what we are..." Apple TV unveiled their official trailer for a funny throwback-to-the-Cold-War buddy comedy movie called Mayday, ready for release on Apple TV streaming this September. It's the next new comedy by the two filmmakers behind the acclaimed movies Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. This time they're heading deep into Russia. Ryan Reynolds stars as pilot Lt. Troy "Assassin" Kelly, whose SR-71 Blackbird jet is shot down in Soviet territory. But before anything bad can happen, he's rescued by the Russian ex-KGB Nikolai Ustinov, played by Kenneth Branagh, who actually likes America and takes him in. Next thing you know they end up friends, but they also end up on the run trying to get Troy back to safety, so the Americans can rescue him. It's a nice Russian & American team-up get-into-tons-of-trouble comedy to enjoy right at the end of the summer. Along with Reynolds & Branagh, the cast also includes Marcin Doroncinski, Maria Bakalova, and David Morse. These directors always know how to come up with some truly fresh, wild and hilarious humor in ridiculous situations and this looks like serious fun. Should also play in theaters not just on Apple. // Continue Reading ›
