Florida People Gone Wild in 'The Python Hunt' Doc Film Official Trailer

"The Burning Man of snake hunting: it brings the wrong kind of attention to this problem." 🐍 Oscope Labs has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled The Python Hunt, going right into the jungle during the annual snake hunt in Florida. This first premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival last year and it also screened at Beyond Fest, Sitges, Miami, Nashville, Philadelphia, and tons of other local film festivals. Every year the Florida government invites folks to compete in an invasive Burmese python removal contest in the Everglades to help with overpopulation and species management. For 10 nights, an eclectic group of hunters confront the dangerous terrain, nocturnal creatures and their own desires. "The film features some impressive moments of snake spectacle, but the real attraction is the human drama that emerges from the larger-than-life personalities." This sounds like a wild & crazy descent into the mad minds of snake hunters. One review says: "The Python Hunt is a documentary that might do for the Burmese Python what Jaws did 50 years ago for the Great White Shark." Maybe? Or maybe it's another reminder to stay away from Florida. // Continue Reading ›

Official US Trailer for Hand-Drawn Anime 'Jinsei' from Ryuya Suzuki

"Do you think we can be... superstars?" Greenwich Entertainment has unveiled an official US trailer for an indie animation film titled Jinsei, which translates directly to "life" in Japanese. This is not your typical anime production from Japan, it's an independent creation from one up-and-coming director. The film is entirely hand-drawn, written, directed, edited by, and scored by a filmmaker name Ryuya Suzuki over two years of time. A man's journey through life, marked by various names and labels, leads him to unexpected success while confronting modern social issues & personal struggles along the way. The Tokyo Film Festival describes it with more awe: "From birth to death, each person goes through life with a variety of nicknames, and sometimes derogatory. This is an epic feature animation that follows the tumultuous 100-year life of 'the man who was never called by his real name.'" Featuring the Japanese rapper ACE COOL as the voice of the main character. This looks wonderfully unique and existentially fascinating in its examination of life and what it all means and how everyone we interact with matters, etc. I'm curious to watch. What do you think? // Continue Reading ›

Bonkers Trailer for the Hungry Hippo Horror Movie Called 'Hungry'

"You're safe as long as you stay out of the water." Aura Enterainment has debuted the official trailer for a bonkers dumb extra wild new animal horror movie called Hungry, about a hippo from hell hunting people down. The riff is that this is pretty much what if Hungry Hungry Hippos (the board game) was turned into a horror movie, but they don't really have the rights to the game, so it's not actually connected to it that way. Just another brutally fun creature feature horror about a vicious massive hippopotamus out in the Louisiana swamps! "All aboard the swamp tour from hell." The story follows a group of thrill-seeking tourists on a riverboat tour through treacherous Louisiana swamp lands. Lured off the beaten path by the promise of an exclusive adventure, they find themselves fighting for survival against a ravenous hippo lurking beneath the bayou's murky waters. 🦛 This horror thriller stars Madison Davenport, Joaquim de Almeida, Olivia Bernstone, Tracey Bonner, Michel Curiel, Jim Meskimen, Samantha Coughlan, River Codack. This looks totally nuts! And actually entertaining. That's one extra mean, super pissed off hippo right there. // Continue Reading ›

Hilarious First Trailer for Broken Lizard's 'Super Troopers 3' Sequel

"Is it possible we're no longer the cool guys in our own story?" Light 'em up. Searchlight has unveiled the first official trailer for Super Troopers 3, the next funny sequel from the comedy troupe Broken Lizard. Following up their two biggest hits – Super Troopers in 2001 and Super Troopers 2 in 2018. The mustache rides, again. Again. When Farva's over-the-top Indian engagement to Thorny's sister spirals into chaos, the Super Troopers must navigate Thorny's schemes to break up the relationship, all while trying to bring down a pernicious new drug ring. All to save the day and maybe the wedding itself. Well this all sounds ridiculous – of course. The whole troop is back with some newcomers: Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Brian Cox, with Marisa Coughlan, Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford, Andrew Dismukes, Hannah Simone, Iqbal Theba, Sakina Jaffrey, Lisa Gilroy, Jon Rudnitsky. Are they still the cool guys? I'm not even sure anymore. Turns out this isn't the only new trailer full of idiots today. As fun as the first movie is, the sequels are really pushing it. Do you think it's still funny? // Continue Reading ›

First Look Teaser for Duncan Jones 'Rogue Trooper' Animated Movie

Time to meet the Rogue Trooper! Finally – after years and years in development, it's getting close to being finished. UK comic book company 2000 A.D. has debuted a first look teaser trailer for the Rogue Trooper movie, a 3D animated feature written and directed by the sci-fi filmmaker Duncan Jones (his latest since Mute in 2018). This version is not live action, it's an animated feature made entirely with Unreal Engine 5. Producer Stuart Fenegan explains in an interview via Deadline why it has taken so long: "figuring out a new way of making a CG movie takes a while." Based on the sci-fi strip in the British comic 2000 A.D., it follows the adventures of Rogue (starring Aneurin Barnard), a genetically engineered, blue-skinned super-soldier and his three comrades' search for the Traitor General. His buddies KIA have their personalities storied in his gun, backpack, and helmet as he goes to find out who sold them out. Also starring Hayley Atwell, Jack Lowden, Daryl McCormack, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan, Alice Lowe, Asa Butterfield, and Sean Bean. Only a very quick first look at any footage while we wait for updates. I'm ready to watch more. // Continue Reading ›

First Look Trailer for 'A Fire There' Doc Following Three Armenian Men

"Everything before you is bright, and yet you're sad." Screen Daily has revealed the first official trailer for an indie documentary film titled A Fire There, from director Marlene Edoyan, which is premiering soon at the 2026 Visions du Réel Film Festival in Switzerland this spring before stopping by Hot Docs in Canada after. This is a compelling story of three young men who all live in a remote Armenian village in southern Georgia navigating tensions between inherited traditions and their desire to shape their own futures. This very cinematically poetic and intimate film is about not only the lives of young men today, but about life in a remote area of the world most of us have never been to or even heard of before. "Between life in the present and visions of the future, between traditions, beliefs and family ties, three life stories remain to be dreamed and written, rendered through a keen sense of visual composition and skillful editing, somewhere between documentary and visual poetry." I'm always intrigued by beautifully-made docs like this one - worth a look. // Continue Reading ›
