Scott Adkins & Vinnie Jones in Action Comedy 'Reckless' Official Trailer

"I've never seen you two looking so nervous.." Sky TV has revealed the official trailer for an action comedy movie called Reckless, made in London, UK by filmmaker Elliott Montello as his first feature. A former convict on parole must outwit the police to get his share of an old heist. This is heading to streaming directly in the UK starting this week on Sky Cinema in the UK - but only over there as there's no final US release set yet. Adkins is the anti-hero playing a thief trying to outwit a legion of law enforcement and other characters on his journey to find his stolen stash of loot. Starring Scott Adkins & Vinnie Jones, along with Nicole Deon, Kris Johnson, Dean Gaffney, Adam Deacon, Jordan Long, and Mark Strange. Despite the fun cast having a blast in this, definitely does look direct-to-streaming quality. Not exactly an action classic. // Continue Reading ›

Koreeda's 'Sheep in the Box' Robot Boy Sci-Fi Film First Look Teaser

Toho & Gaga in Japan have revealed the first look teaser trailer for the film titled Sheep in the Box, the latest film from beloved, award-winning Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda. This is his next creation following his most recent films Broker and Monster - and it's also expected to premiere at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in May. The couple who lost their son welcomed in a humanoid. Sheep in the Box is Koreeda's take on AI and recreating lost loved ones with tech - a family brings back their son as a robot. "This project began with the idea of 'bringing the dead back to life using the latest technology,'" he says. "I was interested in exploring the conflicting perspectives [about] how technological advancement clashes with human inner values.... With technology evolving at a pace far beyond what I had imagined, I felt that this reality might arrive sooner than expected." The film stars Haruka Ayase as the Mom, Daigo (Chidori) as the Dad, and Rito Kuwaki as their robo son. Koreeda always makes films about families and complex relationships, so it should be quite intriguing to see him add AI into the mix and tell this story through the lens of "will this actually work out?" Reminds me a bit of Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence movie. Quick first look below. // Continue Reading ›

A new HBO series from the showrunner of "Ted Lasso" & "Shrinking" & creator of "Scrubs", and also the showrunner of "Bad Monkey" previously.

The main cast also includes Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, Alan Ruck, and Lauren Tsai, with recurring roles for Annie Mumolo, Connie Britton, Robby Hoffman, and Scott MacArthur.

Ryan Phillippe in Two-Parter Rescue Action Thriller 'One Mile' Trailer

"These guys don't know it yet, but they messed with the wrong Dad." That's the line of the year! Paramount / Republic Pictures has debuted an official trailer for an action thriller movie called One Mile – it's actually one movie split into two movies. An ex-special forces operative goes berserk off-the-grid when his daughter is kidnapped by a violent community. Alone and outnumbered, he's forced to use every skill he has to track them down, take them apart, then bring his daughter home. This is dropping directly onto VOD to watch later this month - not even releasing them in theaters. The two movies are called One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two, both coming out at the same time instead of waiting between them. " Two Chapters. Zero Waiting." Starring Ryan Phillippe as Danny who's trying to save his daughter, as played by Amélie Hoeferle. The cast includes C. Thomas Howell, Richard Harmon, Sara Canning, and Sage Linder. These look so cheesy and boring - yet another "save the girl from bad guys" plot that has nothing new to add or anything interesting to show us other than more of the same. Don't waste your time on either of these... // Continue Reading ›

First Look Teaser for 'Faces of Death' Unsettling Cult Horror Remake

"The end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end?" IFC has revealed the first look teaser trailer for a very unsettling new horror movie called Faces of Death, a modern meta horror remake of the one of the most infamous cult movies ever made. This one is definitely going to make some people upset – not the kind of movie everyone wants to see. But hey that's how most of the horror genre works. "You can't unsee it." A woman, employed as a website content moderator, comes across a series of violent videos reproducing death scenes from a cult film - the original Faces of Death (from 1978). Playing up the "is it real?" angle to make viewers sick. This new update stars Barbie Ferreira & Dacre Montgomery, with Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX. From the same director of Cam and How to Blow Up a Pipeline. "We're in awe of Daniel Goldhaber’s reimagining of Faces of Death. His take is unsettling, timely, and provocative, and we can’t wait to unleash it in theaters everywhere this spring." For horror fans only. 💀 // Continue Reading ›

Alan Ritchson Fights Alien Mech in 'War Machine' Sci-Fi Action Trailer

"Whatever that thing is – it's hunting us." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for an action thriller movie called War Machine, the latest from action director Patrick Hughes (Red Hill, The Expendables 3, The Hitman's Bodyguard). Not to be confused with Netflix's 2017 Brad Pitt movie also called War Machine about Afghanistan. This new one actually has some aliens in it (or so it seems). It follows the final recruits of a grueling special ops boot camp for US Army Rangers who encounter a deadly force – a sentient deadly robot warrior – from beyond this world. The team's training exercise turns into a "fight for survival against an unimaginable threat." Starring Alan Ritchson, Dennis Quaid, Stephan James, Jai Courtney, Esai Morales, Blake Richardson, Keiynan Lonsdale, and Daniel Webber. This looks pretty damn cool. A bit like the original Predator but with this giant mech robot alien thing instead of a Yautja. Fire it up below. // Continue Reading ›

Rose Byrne Wants Her Car Back Right Now in 'Tow' Film Official Trailer

"You are Amanda Ogle and you are going to get your car back!" "Not just for you, for all of us." Roadside Attractions has revealed an official trailer for an acclaimed new movie called Tow, the latest from filmmaker Stephanie Laing. This orignially premiered at the Santa Barbara, Tribeca, Nantucket, and Galway Film Festivals last year. The true story of Amanda Ogle (Byrne), a homeless Seattle woman who fought her way out of tow-company hell to reclaim her life and car after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. Heck yes, you fight 'em! What begins as a fight to reclaim her car evolves into a deeply human story of resilience, dignity, and the power of one woman’s voice in the face of systemic failure. Rose Byrne stars alongside Dominic Sessa, Demi Lovato, Simon Rex, with Academy Award winner Ariana Debose, and Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer in Tow. This looks wacky and amusing, though more upsetting watching her fight the system. Doesn't seem as good as If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, still worth watching just for the Byrne again. // Continue Reading ›
