A Brief History Featurette for 'The Death of Robin Hood' with Jackman

"In reality, life in the Medieval Ages was a brutal fight for survival." Indeed it was. Which is exactly why Robin had to fight back with sword & arrow. A24 has revealed another new promo featurette for The Death of Robin Hood, a re-imaginging of this classic legend of the English folk hero. Was he really a hero or just a killer? They've started sending out tons of new marketing for this, after everyone complained they weren't doing enough promotion. Grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, Robin Hood finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last. Now in the hands of a mysterious woman on an island, he is offered a chance at salvation. Death of Robin Hood stars Hugh Jackman as old man Robin, with Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe. This video focuses on literally explaining how the history of Robin Hood has become fantasy and the actual gritty, violent story of who he was is much more unsettling. Hugh Jackman narrates this new promo discussing the alternate version of his story that we'll see in this movie – which hit theaters in June in just a few weeks from now.

Cannes 2026: James Gray's Low Key NYC Crime Thriller 'Paper Tiger'

This is the story of two brothers in the big city, and their undoing thanks to their ambition to make some extra money on top. James Gray's latest film is a New York City crime thriller titled Paper Tiger, which just premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in the Main Competition vying for the Palme d'Or. It didn't take home a single award at the end of the festival, though that doesn't really mean it isn't a worthwhile film anyway. It's a low key thriller that never reaches a boil, bordering on being pure drama throughout, though it's bolstered by an undercurrent of tension simmering beneath the entire narrative. It's a solid film overall that is enhanced by Adam Driver's terrific performance as the knows-everyone-businessman brother Gary. And it's worth watching just for Driver alone to get a glimpse at how complex & composed his character is. Though far from being a truly terrific new feature, James Gray continues to show that he's best at telling low key, refined, focused stories about multifaceted individuals caught up in sticky situations they can't control. // Continue Reading ›

20th Anniversary Trailer for Ferrell & Reilly's 'Talladega Nights' Movie

"If you ain't first, you're last." Preach, Ricky! 🏁 Sony Pictures has revealed a quick new trailer for the 20th anniversary celebration of the sports comedy classic Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, the hilarious Adam McKay + Judd Apatow racing movie originally from 2006. This was a big hit back then, McKay's major follow-up to Anchorman, though with a very particular NASCAR racing flavor to it (that not everyone was into it – but they were missing out). Will Ferrell stars as the titular Rocky Bobby, who stays atop the heap thanks to a "win at all costs" pact with his best friend and teammate, Cal Naughton, Jr. But when a French Formula One driver makes his way up the racing ladder, Ricky Bobby's talent and devotion are put to the test. John C. Reilly co-stars as his racing friend Cal, with a fun cast including Sacha Baron Cohen, Gary Cole, Michael Clarke Duncan, Leslie Bibb, Amy Adams, Andy Richter, and Jane Lynch. Sony is sending this back to US theaters for a few nights at the end of June (and also on July 1st) before it hits 4K Blu-ray in August this summer. Shake and bake! Even if racing ain't your thing, this is still an all-out fun buddy comedy with some of the most ridiculous Ferrell & Reilly scenes. Back in theaters soon. // Continue Reading ›

New US Trailer for 'Couture' Film Feat. Angelina Jolie & Louis Garrel

"You'll have to put your work on hold for some time." Vertical has revealed the new official US trailer for the film titled simply Couture, an indie drama from France starring Angelina Jolie as a filmmaker who gets sick. This premiered at a few film festivals last fall and already opened in Europe earlier in 2026 (view the the international trailer). Unfortunately the reviews have been harsh on this film (59% on RT) saying it's too shallow and uneventful & unfocused. Angelina Jolie stars as an American filmmaker named Maxine who arrives in Paris for Fashion Week on a life-and-death journey, facing many of her own challenges and self-discovery. The triptych story follows three women in Paris, including a young fresh face model named Ada, and a make-up artist working in the shadows of the catwalks. Described as a "powerful & intimate journey of self-reflection & resilience set against the electric backdrop of Paris Fashion Week." Written & directed by French César nominated writer / director Alice Winocour, the film stars mega famous actress Angelina Jolie as Maxine Walker, with Louis Garrel, Anyier Anei, Ella Rumpf, Guillaume Marbeck, and Garance Marillier, also featuring Vincent Lindon. An emotional story about the way women support each other. // Continue Reading ›

First Look Teaser for 'The Fox' Zany Romance Satire with Jai Courntey

"All I ask for, is a roof over my head and to not get shot at! It's actually a very good deal." Madman Films in Australia has unveiled the first teaser trailer for The Fox, an intriguing romantic satire from filmmaker Dario Russo (director of the "Danger 5" series). This indie comedy flick is described as an "absurdly comic Australian folktale" and it's playing at the 2026 Sydney Film Festival this June coming up soon. It originally premiered at SXSW last year but we haven't heard much about it since then. Dealing with a cheating fiancée, an affable fox hunter encounters a shape-shifting fox who then offers him an opportunity to transform his partner into the perfect woman and in doing so take control of the natural world. Jai Courtney and Emily Browning star as the main couple, alongside Olivia Colman as a talking fox and Sam Neill as a magpie. The fun cast also includes Damon Herriman, Claudia Doumit, Zlatko Burić, Frankie J. Holden, Heather Mitchell, and Kim Gyngell. Obviously similar to both The Lobster and Ruby Sparks, which also have fantastical romantic comedy concepts that explore attraction & relationships and how funky it can be at times. All the comedy looks totally zany and off-the-walls bonkers, which makes this seem like a fun time. // Continue Reading ›
