Netflix Doc 'White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch' Trailer

"We go after the cool kids." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a documentary titled White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch, the latest work from acclaimed documentary filmmaker Alison Klayman (11/8/16, Take Your Pills, The Brink, and HBO's Jagged recently). As the title indicates, this film is about that "super hot" clothing brand called Abercrombie & Fitch. There have been tons of these "rise & fall" films and series recently, trying to understand what happened with so many companies. "All the cool kids were wearing it." This documentary explores A&F's pop culture reign in the late '90s and early 2000s and how it thrived on exclusion. It is interesting to look back and understand what exactly they were doing that was so bad, when at the time it all just seemed so "cool" and not many people questioned it (or if they did, they were ignored). But let's be honest - they always sucked. "There's a reason people liked that brand." ›››

The Return of Records Examined in 'Vinyl Nation' Documentary Trailer

"The thrill of what might be behind the door of that little shop." 1091 Pictures has unveiled an official trailer for Vinyl Nation, a documentary about the return of vinyl and resurgence of records in modern times. This originally premiered at various film festivals in 2020 and has been playing on the festival circuit these last two years. Vinyl Nation is a deep dig into the crates of the vinyl record resurgence to discover what an old technology says about our relationship to music and each other in a divided time in America. Some of the questions the film asks: "Has the return of vinyl made music fandom more inclusive or divided? What does vinyl say about our past here in the present? How has the second life of vinyl changed how we hear music and how we listen to each other?" The doc film features Judy Mills, Ashley C. Ford, Kelly Stacy, John Vanderslice, Kutmasta Kurt, Alyson Baker, Kelley Stoltz, Ben Blackwell, Roz Lee, and Ashleyanne Krigbaum. This looks like an uplifting and optimistic film about why everyone loves vinyl (again) and what it all means. ›››

New Trailer for Mexican Comedy '¿Y Cómo es El?' or 'Backseat Driver'

"I feel you have a vibe that you're going through some tough ones." Pantelion Films has revealed an official trailer for a Mexican comedy titled ¿Y Cómo es El?, which has been translated to Backseat Driver as an English title (direct translation is And What is He Like?). The film premiered back in 2020 but is opening in Mexico next week and also opening in US theaters later in April this spring. Tomás is a meek man on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Despite his situation he decides to fake a work trip to go to Puerto Vallarta to confront Jero, a taxi driver who is sleeping with his wife. Only to end up driving back to Mexico City with him. Over the course of an eventful long-distance drive, a strange bond develops between the two as they each work through their own issues. It's a remake of a Japanese film made by a Korean filmmaker. Starring Mauricio Ochmann & Omar Chaparro, Zuria Vega, Miguel Rodarte, plus Mauricio Barrientos. This looks kooky and amusing, just the right amount of fun humor with some serious relationship drama. ›››

Hidden Family Secrets & Lies Revealed in 'The Godfather Buck' Trailer

"I heard that you had… had something to talk to us about." Gravitas Ventures unveiled an official trailer for an indie drama titled The Godfather Buck, another film from filmmaker Thomas J. Churchill. It will be out to watch in April. This one sounds like it it's all about the big twists and reveals. Two brothers, who meet once a year at a cabin in the woods in Big Bear to hunt white-tailed deer for a week, uncover hidden family secrets and lies when their stepbrother drops by for an evening, changing their lives forever. The film stars Frederick Keeve (who also wrote the script and produced), with Kyle Lowder, Indar Smith and Julie Eagleton. This one looks especially melodramatic and overly campy, with some impressively over-the-top performances and a doozy of a score in this trailer. Doesn't look great but you also just must see this trailer. ›››

New Trailer for 'The Nameless Days' Horror About Border Crossing

"It's not that long ’till sunrise." Vertical Entertainment has revealed an official US trailer for an indie horror titled The Nameless Days, about the extremely dangerous act of crossing the border. Made by filmmakers filmmakers Andrew Mecham & Mattew Whedon (Behind You) this is arriving on VOD to watching starting in April. On the border between United States and Mexico, once every 20 years, there are days that locals call timelessness. At this time the gods, to whom the ancient Mayan tribes made sacrifices, descend to earth to take human souls. In the film, young immigrant Rahui and his pregnant sister are attacked and separated by a demonic spirit as they embark on a dangerous trek across the U.S. border. Starring Ally Ioannides, Charles Halford, Alejandro Akara, and Ambyr Mishelle. It's a good twist to see horror worked into the horrifying border crossing stories, although this otherwise seems like a fairly generic supernatural film. ›››

Another Trailer for 'Minions: The Rise of Gru' - Finally Arriving in July

"I'll teach you." Are you FINALLY ready to watch this movie? Along with Top Gun: Maverick, this is one of the last big movies that has been delayed for two years - ever since 2020 when it was originally set to open. Universal has revealed a second full-length trailer for Illumination Animation's sequel Minions: The Rise of Gru, which is a prequel to the Despicable Me movies, and a sequel to the first solo Minions movie (from 2015). Set in the 1970s, this one brings back a younger Gru with a plan to join the supervillain supergroup known as the Vicious 6. When the Vicious 6 oust their leader, legendary fighter Wild Knuckles, Gru then interviews to be their newest member. It doesn't go well (to say the least), and only gets worse after Gru outsmarts them and suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. This features the voices of Steve Carell, Taraji P. Henson, Michelle Yeoh, RZA, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lucy Lawless, Danny Trejo, Dolph Lundgren, Russell Brand, with Julie Andrews, & Alan Arkin. We initially ran the first trailer in 2020, and a teaser last year, while waiting for the eventual release. Looks like a fun time. ›››

Colin Firth & Toni Collette in HBO Series 'The Staircase' Teaser Trailer

"What's going on? What are the police looking for?" HBO has revealed a teaser trailer for The Staircase, a fictionalized HBO mini-series based on a true crime story from 2001. A man, grieving the death of his wife who fell down a staircase, is accused of murdering her. Did he really do it? Apparently so, but as always we may never really know for sure. Based on a true story, The Staircase explores the life of Michael Peterson, his sprawling North Carolina family, and the suspicious death of his wife, Kathleen Peterson. Colin Firth stars with Toni Collette as his (murdered? or accidentally killed?) wife, with an impressive ensemble cast including Sophie Turner, Michael Stuhlbarg, Dane DeHaan, Odessa Young, Rosemarie DeWitt, Patrick Schwarzenegger, plus Juliette Binoche and Parker Posey. It is adapted from a documentary series from 2004, which is worked into this series as part of the plot, because eventually he pleaded guilty in 2017 after serving years behind bars already. Another true crime streaming series that's on the way in 2022. ›››

Fun Fake Trailer for 'The Amazing Peter #3' Starring Andrew Garfield

"Peter 3!" How many Peter Parkers are there in the Multiverse?! Sony has dropped a fun fake trailer for a movie they've dubbed The Amazing Peter #3. Some of you may remember that Andrew Garfield played Peter Parker in a couple of stand-alone Spider-Man movies back in 2012 and 2014 - they were called The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2. This was right after Tobey Maguire, but right before Tom Holland (and Marvel Studios) took over. They never made it to the third Amazing Spider-Man movie, despite announcing plans, and thus could never finish the storyline with Peter and Gwen. Of course, fans got to see that grief come full circle when he saved another Spidey love interest in No Way Home as part of the Multiverse crossover. This trailer riffs on that and the idea of what if they really did make that third movie. This amusing promo was made as part of a massive marketing campaign for the Blu-ray debut of No Way Home in early April. Enjoy. ›››

Hong Kong Tsunami Survival Thriller 'The Calm Beyond' US Trailer

"It's not safe here. They'll find us." Sony Pictures has unveiled a new trailer for The Calm Beyond, a Hong Kong sci-fi thriller survival movie that is now out to watch in the US. This premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival in 2020, and has quietly dropped in the US already, even though this is the first time we're posting this trailer. A young woman lives on, hidden in plain sight in a ruined Hong Kong building after a tsunami destroyed the city. A castaway on a concrete island. Her concealed existence is changed forever when a small child literally floats into her life. In an interview: "The idea for a film, The Calm Beyond, came to [director Joshua Wong] during an MRI scan. It's about surviving a storm and 'how you live after.'" Unfortunately the director passed away after finishing and premiering this in 2020. The film stars Kara Wang as Asha, with Sarinna Boggs and Terence Yin. This is a fairly short trailer, only running about 60 seconds, with one epic shot of flooded Hong Kong at the end. The rest of it almost feels like a zombie film, for better or worse. ›››

Official Trailer for Riley Stearn's Low Key Sci-Fi 'Dual' with Karen Gillan

"You're pretending to be me while I'm still alive?" RLJE Films has revealed the first official trailer for the indie sci-fi film Dual, the latest from American filmmaker Riley Stearns (of Faults, The Art of Self-Defense previously). This initially premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year playing in the main competition, but got pretty bad reviews from most critics who watched it. It's a very low key sci-fi in that has a "futuristic" concept involving cloning, but there's not much beyond that that is sci-fi about it. A woman opts for a cloning procedure after she receives a terminal diagnosis but when she recovers her attempts to have her clone decommissioned fail, leading to a court-mandated duel to the death with her other self. Let them fight! Karen Gillan stars opposite Karen Gillan, along with Aaron Paul, Beulah Koale, Maija Paunio, and Theo James. I saw this at Sundance and was hoping to love it, but I did not care for it at all. Not great. There seem to be a range different opinions on it, so have at it and form your own opinion as well. ›››

Six Adorable Tales in Disney+'s 'Ice Age: Scrat Tales' Official Trailer

So cuteee!!! Disney has revealed an official trailer for Ice Age: Scrat Tales, their spin-off series focusing on the hapless saber-toothed squirrel and his family. This is similar to the Pixar spin-off Disney series Dug Days, focusing on the lovable doggo from that movie. We all know Scrat as he has been in numerous short films / intros to various Blue Sky Ice Age movies over the last two decades. Now he has his own series on Disney+! Even though he is originally a creation of Blue Sky Studios, which shut down after Disney bought Fox (which included Blue Sky). "Discover the nuttiness of parenthood." Ice Age: Scrat Tales features six all-new animated shorts starring Scrat, who experiences the ups and downs of fatherhood. It looks like exactly what you'd expect from this - more of the same Scrat humor now with a child thrown into the mix. Have fun. ›››

Official Trailer for 80s Horror Game Film 'Choose or Die' from Netflix

"The more the cursed suffer, the more curser benefits." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a horror thriller titled Choose or Die, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Toby Meaknis. The film is debuting on Netflix starting in April for anyone looking for a fun fright night pick. After firing up a lost 80s survival horror game, a young coder unleashes a hidden curse that tears reality apart, forcing her to make terrifying decisions and face deadly consequences. The film's original title was CURS>R, which is the name of the old video game she decides to play. Starring Asa Butterfield, Iola Evans, Eddie Marsan, Robert Englund (Freddy!!), Kate Fleetwood, Ryan Gage, Angela Griffin, and Joe Bolland. Okay this looks killer! I really dig the vintage video game vibe. This seems like an out-there concept only Netflix would fund, which is great to see. And it has the potential to become a new horror franchise like Saw with this premise. ›››

Elisabeth Moss & Phillipa Soo in First Trailer for 'Shining Girls' Series

"After what he did… things aren't how they should be." Apple has revealed an impressive first official trailer for a new mystery thriller series called Shining Girls, based on the best-selling novel by Lauren Beukes. It's coming to Apple TV+ for streaming this April. "Things change just like that. And then it happens again, and again, and again…" Another new film about abuse and harm and how it forever changes people. Years after a brutal attack left her in a constantly shifting reality, Kirby Mazrachi learns that a recent murder is linked to her assault. She teams up with the veteran reporter Dan Velazquez to try and understand her ever-changing present and confront her past. Elisabeth Moss stars (and directed a few of the episodes as well) with Amy Brenneman, Phillipa Soo, Jamie Bell, Wagner Moura, Christopher Denham, Deanna Reed-Foster, and Marc Grapey in the main cast. The clever title for this makes me think - is this another The Shining sequel after Doctor Sleep? But nope. Instead it looks much more like Zodiac than anything else. ›››

Third Trailer for Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' Flying This Summer

"He seems to think you have something left to offer the Navy. What that is, I can't imagine." Whatttttttt this looks so awesome!! Paramount has revealed a third official trailer for the sequel Top Gun: Maverick, with a release date finally set for May this summer. This has been delayed for two years already, and they've confirmed a premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in May before it lands in theaters worldwide. Bring on the return of Maverick. Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a specialized mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it. Tom Cruise plays Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, and Val Kilmer is also back; with a full cast including Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, and Ed Harris. We featured two trailers back in 2020 previously, but this is the best trailer yet. Hot damn!! This is going to be incredible. I've got such a good feeling this is so going to be worth the wait. All that flying footage! The emotions! The new jets! Cannot wait to fly with Mav again. ›››

Confronting Faroe Islands' Tradition in 'A Taste of Whale' Doc Trailer

"This connection between nature and modern people is gone." Greenwich Entertainment has revealed an official trailer for another indie documentary - this one called A Taste of Whale. That is a very shocking, off-putting title and that's entirely the point. Every year, 700 pilot whales are slaughtered on the Faroe Islands despite the protests of animal rights activists who have been fighting them for years. Why do they keep getting away with this? In this doc film, the filmmakers head to the islands to find out. "It is the 'Grind' season again – Faroe Islanders' ritual slaughter of pilot whales. Two proud Faroese whalers are on one side, two young and passionate Sea Shepherd activists on the other. A Taste of Whale invites you to see past preconceived positions and question what meat-eating is truly about." I can appreciate hearing the opposite perspective, but this looks like it's afraid to question the "traditions" and "rituals" which sometimes do need to change. While pilot whales are not endangered, this still does seem like a senseless thing to keep doing. ›››

Trailer for 'Hello, Bookstore' Doc About a Book Shop in Massachusetts

"Look at the smile on that guy's face – he found a book." Greenwich Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for an indie documentary titled Hello, Bookstore, which first premiered at a few film festivals last year. In the shadow of the pandemic, a small town rallies to protect a beloved local bookstore in its hour of need. A landmark in Lenox, Massachusetts (Google Maps), "The Bookstore" is a magical, beatnik gem thanks to its owner, Matt Tannenbaum, whose passion for stories runs deep. Presiding at The Bookstore for over forty years, Matt is a true bard of the Berkshires and his shop is the kind of place to get lost in. This intimate portrait of The Bookstore and the family at its heart offers a journey through good times, hard times and the stories hidden on the shelves. It isn't the first doc about a book shop - there's The Booksellers and Circus of Books recently. However, this one looks nourishing & charming. I want to visit The Bookstore. ›››

Watch: Oscars TV Spot for Pixar's 'Lightyear' Movie with Chris Evans

"Buzz!!" During the Oscars ceremony last night broadcast live on ABC, Disney debuted an extended TV spot for Pixar's Lightyear, this sort of prequel to the Toy Story movies, focusing entirely on Buzz Lightyear as a spin-off solo movie about the Space Ranger. Chris Evans is voicing the "real" Buzz Lightyear, the astronaut within the Toy Story universe who inspired the action figure. The plot involves Buzz being marooned in an alien planet and having to figure out a way to build a spaceship and get home. But that only seems like the beginning of this story! Along with Evans, the full voice cast includes Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, Taika Waititi, Peter Sohn as Buzz's robot companion, Sox the cat, plus Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr. This is primarily just a recut version of the latest official trailer, with one or two shots added, but most of it we've already seen before. Still looks great. ›››

New UK Trailer for Superb Generational Drama 'Murina' from Croatia

"What secrets are you hiding?" Modern Films UK has revealed an official trailer for Murina, an excellent film from Croatia marking the feature directorial debut of Croatian filmmaker Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic. This initially premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival playing in the Director's Fortnight sidebar. A teenage girl decides to replace her controlling father with his wealthy foreign friend during a weekend trip to the Adriatic Sea, causing turmoil. She hopes that this will help her escape her life at home for something more, but it doesn't go as planned. I saw this film at the Toronto Film Festival last year and LOVED it. It's absolutely gorgeous - not only the cinematography (including some great underwater scenes) but the story about a young woman pushing back against her traditionalist parents and figuring out her own way in this modern world. I can't recommend it enough. Starring Gracija Filipovic, Danica Curcic, Leon Lucev, Cliff Curtis, and Jonas Smulders. Not the best trailer for this film but I hope some of you see it anyway. ›››

Official Trailer for Dutch Series 'Dirty Lines' About Erotic Phone Lines

"What we do is the future. There is no end to it." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a new series from The Netherlands titled Dirty Lines, created by Dutch filmmaker Pieter Bart Korthuis. The fictional series with 6 episodes to start tells the true story of the very first phone sex line created in Europe in the 80s. Set in 1987 in Amsterdam, an enterprising college student stumbles into a new career at a phone sex line started by two wildly different brothers - known as Teledutch. But being in the business of sexual desires leads them to question their own. It's not only about the two brothers, Frank & Ramon Stigter, but about a number of other people who get involved in the "business" and how it changes them and their views on sex. This looks great! The series stars Joy Delima as Marly, plus Minne Koole & Chris Peters as the brothers Frank & Ramon, along with Charlie Chan Dagelet, Joes Brauers, Julia Akkermans, Abbey Hoes, Benja Bruijning, Eric van Sauers, and Andre Dongelmans. If you're hesitant about this, no need to fret, the trailer is SFW and this Netflix series looks much better than it sounds (no pun intended). Take a look below. ›››

Watch: 60 Years of James Bond Tribute from 2022 Oscars Ceremony

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!" Over the last 60 years, James Bond movies have won a total of six Academy Awards. Most recently the spy movies have been winning for Best Original Song (Skyfall, Spectre, and No Time to Die this year) but they've also won some sound awards (Goldfinger for Best Sound Effects, Skyfall for Best Sound Editing). Despite all of that, Eon Productions convinced The Academy to include a 2-minute long "60 Years of Bond" tribute during the 2022 Oscars show this year. It's pretty much a classic YouTube tribute supercut with a bunch of iconic clips edited together along with the "Live and Let Die" song and it's awesome. No Time to Die, the 25th Bond movie, opened in theaters last fall and made tons of money at the box office world. Why not celebrate the excellence of Bond at the Oscars? If you haven't seen it or want to rewatch the tribute - check it out below. "To us, Mr. Bond. We are the best." ›››

Official Trailer for Uruguayan Extra-Fast Zombies Thriller 'Virus:32'

"Today is not a day to be scared of madness." Shudder has revealed the trailer for a Uruguayan horror film called Virus:32, the latest film made by filmmaker Gustavo Hernández (The Silent House). This hasn't hit any festivals but will be streaming on Shudder later in April. A rapid spreading virus which transforms people into intelligent, ultra-violent, extra-fast zombie hunters. After each wave of attack by the monsters, they discover the monsters are left incapacitated for 32 seconds while they recover strength. That's all the time there is. "With Virus:32, director Gustavo Hernandez builds a lean, mean and terrifying thrill ride of a mother desperately trying to save her daughter from a zombie apocalypse. Combined with a stunning visual aesthetic, we know the film will delight genre fans everywhere," Shudder states. The film stars Paula Silva and Daniel Hendler, with Sofía González, plus a whole bunch of flesh-hungry zombies. Yeah this looks damn good! The scene with the smoke bomb in the gym looks freaky af. Definitely seems worth seeking out. ›››

Official Trailer for Action Thriller '9 Bullets' Featuring Lena Headey

"I got a chance to change my life – I can't let anything, including a kid, get in the way of that." Well, okay then. Screen Media Films has revealed the official trailer for 9 Bullets, an action thriller from filmmaker Gigi Gaston (Rip It Off) arriving in theaters this April. The film, formerly known as Gypsy Moon, follows a woman named Gypsy Moon - described as a tough and sexy burlesque dancer by night, and an intellectual aspiring novelist by day. On the eve of her last dance, she must go on a nail-biting, action-packed ride across state lines to save a neighbor's son, whose life is threatened by her ex-longtime lover. She finds her real second chance at life in the love she feels for the child. 9 Bullets stars Lena Headey as Gypsy, with Sam Worthington, Dean Scott Vasquez, La La Anthony, and Barbara Hershey. Described as "an action-packed thriller about the human spirit, second chances, and life's unexpected turns." Another generic film. ›››

Editorial: The Academy's Obsession with Popularity is Utterly Pathetic

What the heck is going on with The Academy?! They've lost all sense of direction. With the live broadcast of the Academy Awards Ceremony losing viewers consistently year after year, The Academy has started to freak out and lose their minds. Instead of making smart choices to redevelop what the awards mean, who they're (really) for, and why they (still) matter, they've gone entirely the other way - chasing popularity and desperately trying to figure out how to remain hip and valuable to younger generations. In doing so, they've started to sacrifice everything they stand for, including bringing extra attention to the craftspeople who are also a key part of movie-making and are often forgotten or ignored by most audiences. I adore the Academy Awards, I always have and always will, because they're an iconic institute that has always been about quality and professionalism. But this obsession with popularity and ratings is utterly pathetic and I'm so tired of it. ›››

Demonic Possession + Haunted House Horror 'The Occupant' Trailer

"This house isn't really haunted…" "Some might debate that." Devilworks has debuted an official trailer for an indie horror thriller called The Occupant, marking the feature debut of filmmaker Samuel Krebs. This originally went under the title The Whooper Returns, which sounds much more interesting, but I can see how that might confuse some people (who or what is the Whooper?). Following the death of their mother, four estranged siblings find themselves fighting for their inheritance and for their lives when an eccentric stranger arrives, claiming their famous haunted childhood home was left to her. They all start experiencing strange, inexplicable manifestations, which has malevolent effects on everyone in the house. Starring Rik Billock, David Flick, Dylan Grunn, Nathan Hollabaugh, Caroline Nicolian, and Megan Bolton. Looks like fairly generic, derivative supernatural horror, even with Christmas lights like "Stranger Things". ›››

Nick Cave + Warren Ellis Doc 'This Much I Know To Be True' Trailer

"We all live our lives dangerously… in a state of jeopardy, at the edge of calamity." The wise words of Nick Cave. An official trailer has arrived for the music documentary This Much I Know To Be True, the follow-up from filmmaker Andrew Dominik and their doc One More Time with Feeling from 2016. Similar in concept, but different in many other ways - including this being shot in color. This new film explores the creative relationship and songs from Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' last two studio albums, "Ghosteen" and "Carnage". It premiered at the 2022 Berlin Film Festival earlier this year, and will be releasing in theaters worldwide starting May. In this document of their first ever performances of these albums, filmed in spring 2021 ahead of their UK tour, we see the two, accompanied by singers and string quartet, as they nurture each song into existence. The film features a special appearance by close friend and long-term collaborator, Marianne Faithfull. It looks like another exquisite film about creating music and how intense the process is. ›››

Watch: Barry Keoghan in Arkham - Deleted Scene from 'The Batman'

"He's a nobody, wants to be somebody." Now what do we have here, Mr. Batman? Warner Bros has decided to release a sneaky deleted scene from The Batman some three weeks after the movie opened in theaters worldwide. The scene in question involves a certain green-haired, iconic Gotham City villain, portrayed by Barry Keoghan in this next Batman series. It's not so much of a spoiler because The Joker (!!) isn't really a part of The Batman movie. There's a scene at the very end of the movie with him, but you never see his face and it's more of a final nightcap than it is a setup. This scene, however, was cut from the movie but involves a more intriguing conversation between The Batman, played by Robert Pattinson, and his tricky Gotham nemesis The Joker. Director Matt Reeves wrote on Twitter: "Riddle me this… the less of them you have, the more one is worth…" It's an excellent scene between these two, as Joker is getting into Batman's head with all these truths that even Bruce Wayne doesn't like to admit are true. "You two have so much in common…" ›››

South African Freedom Fighters Film 'Silverton Siege' Official Trailer

"There's only one of two ways you're leaving - prison or death." Netflix has revealed the official trailer for South Africa thriller titled Silverton Siege, the latest film by cinematographer / filmmaker Mandlakayise Walter Dube. The film is based on a true story of a real life incident that sparked the global 'Free Mandela' movement. Silverton Siege is an action thriller inspired by true life events that took place in South Africa in 1980. A trio of freedom fighters end up heading into a collision course with the state after a failed sabotage mission, which turns into a bank hostage stand off. The film stars Thabo Rametsi as Calvin Khumalo, with Arnold Vosloo, Noxolo Dlamini, Stefan Erasmus, Michelle Mosalakae, Elani Dekker, Shane Wellington, and Tumisho Masha. There have been a number of strong films coming out of South Africa recently, and this looks like it digs into an important moment in the country's apartheid history. I'm glad they're showing the truth about what these people were really fighting for - real change, and real freedom. ›››

New US Trailer for Peculiar Italian Adventure 'The Tale of King Crab'

"A man who kills, where does he go?" Oscilloscope Labs has revealed an official US trailer for a peculiar, fascinating little Italian film called The Tale of King Crab. This one originally premiered in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar at last year's Cannes Film Festival, and it also stopped by the Karlovy Vary, New York, and Vienna Film Festivals last year. When this begins, elderly hunters are reminiscing about the local tale of Luciano. Luciano lived as a wandering drunkard in a remote village. Spiteful actions ensue between him and the prince of the region over passage through an ancient gateway. Fueled by passions and jealousy, these actions result in a horrible misdeed. Now an unfortunate criminal, Luciano is exiled to the distant Tierra del Fuego where, with the help of ruthless gold-diggers, he searches for a mythical treasure, paving his way towards redemption. However, in these lands, only greed and insanity can prevail. Starring Gabriele Silli, Maria Alexandra Lungu, Ercole Colnago, and Bruno di Giovanni. This looks like something lost in time. I've been hearing many good things about the film since last year - definitely need to check it out soon. ›››

New Trailer for 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture - The Director's Edition'

"I am convinced we are inside a living machine." Paramount Pictures has revealed a new trailer for the 4K streaming re-release of the classic sci-fi Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This new version, dubbed "The Director's Edition", was originally finished and updated by filmmaker Robert Wise in 2001 before he passed away in 2005. He revisited the film to refine the edit and enhance the visual effects, updating them for a more modern look. It was released then only on DVD, but never in full HD until now. Originally released in 1979, Star Trek: The Motion Picture became the fourth highest grossing movie of the year and earned three Academy Award nominations for Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, and Best Original Score. Featuring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, and James Doohan. This really does look better than ever before! This trailer makes me want to revisit this as soon as it's out on Paramount+ for streaming this spring - a classic sci-fi movie that still rocks. ›››

Official Trailer for 'I Am Zlatan' About Football Star Zlatan Ibrahimović

"You could try passing sometimes." "To you? Then we wouldn't last long." Signature Ent. has revealed the official UK trailer for a feature film called I Am Zlatan, a biopic about the beloved soccer / football player Zlatan Ibrahimović. This Swedish-Danish co-production first premiered at the 2021 Rome Film Festival last year, and is set to open in the UK this June. It has spring + summer release dates in Europe but nothing in the US arranged yet. Son of Balkan immigrants Zlatan Ibrahimovic, born in Sweden, becomes, after a rough childhood, a Swedish football champion of several decades. Born in Malmö to Bosnian & Croatian parents, he got his break playing for Malmö FF in 1999. He currently plays for AC Milan - which is why Italy premiered the film and released it before everyone else. This is a story about his upbringing and childhood, and his early years playing professional football for Ajax in Amsterdam. Looks like an inspiring sports story. ›››

Ben Foster is WWII Boxer Harry Haft in 'The Survivor' Official Trailer

"I'm just giving you a chance to lose with a little dignity!" HBO has revealed the first official trailer for The Survivor, a WWII biopic from filmmaker Barry Levinson (of so many films: Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man, Bugsy, Toys, Wag the Dog, Sphere, Bandits, Man of the Year, The Bay). This premiered at the 2021 Toronto Film Festival last fall and received mostly positive reviews then. Levinson's biographical drama stars Ben Foster as boxer Harry Haft, who struggles to carry on after fighting to survive in the Holocaust. Post World War II, Harry Haft is a boxer who fought fellow prisoners in the concentration camps to survive. Haunted by memories and guilt, he attempts to use high-profile fights against boxing legends like Rocky Marciano as a way to find his first love again. In addition to Ben Foster, the impressive cast includes Danny DeVito, John Leguizamo, Peter Sarsgaard, Billy Magnussen, Paul Bates, Anthony Molinari as Rocky Marciano, as well as Vicky Krieps. This looks like a compelling, emotional story about survival and the brutality of WWII. With a mix between B&W for the WWII flashbacks as well as color cinematography. ›››

New Trailer for Sergei Loznitsa's 'Donbass' Film About Eastern Ukraine

"What's happening here?" Film Movement has revealed a new US trailer for a Russian-Ukranian film called Donbass, made by the filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa. This originally premiered in 2018 at the Cannes Film Festival, but is now being given a re-release due to the war in Ukraine and Russia's attack on this innocent country. Loznitsa is a Ukrainian filmmaker, but has been caught up in a bit of controversy recently because he has made many of his movies in Russia. Though many of them are criticizing Russia and the politics of the Putin regime, the Ukrainian Film Academy kicked him out anyway. In this black comedy set in eastern Ukraine, society begins to degrade as the effects of propaganda and manipulation begin to surface in this post-truth era. Loznitsa's Donbass film is about the Donbass region in Ukraine that was invaded and taken over back in another war in 2014. It's getting a theatrical re-release in the US starting this April as a way to bring more attention to the atrocities happening in Ukraine - which have been happening for years already. ›››

Eric Dane & Teri Polo in Small Town Crime Thriller 'The Ravine' Trailer

"We all experience darkness." Okay sure, I guess we all do, so…? Cinedigm has revealed an official trailer for an indie crime thriller titled The Ravine, now opening in theaters and on VOD this May. This premiered last year at a few film festivals but nothing worth mentioning. Inspired by true events, The Ravine is a story of faith, forgiveness, and most of all, the restoration of hope – even for the most seemingly unredeemable among us. When an unspeakable crime rocks a peaceful community in Akron, Ohio, family and friends are left to wonder if they overlooked the murderer among them or if there might be more to the story. The film stars Eric Dane, Teri Polo, Peter Facinelli, and Leslie Uggams. It looks like yet another forgettable, bland "there's something bad going on in this town" film that there are a dime-a-dozen of already. Oh well. ›››

Miles Teller is 'The Godfather' Producer in 'The Offer' Series Full Trailer

"We've been all over town, no one wants to make this movie… so I need you to produce it." Paramount has debuted the full-length official trailer for the new streaming series called The Offer. This 10-episode series tells the behind-the-scenes story of Francis Ford Coppola's iconic mafia masterpiece The Godfather from 1972. It's based on Oscar-winning producer Albert S. Ruddy's extraordinary, never-revealed experiences of making the movie. He was hired by the studio for the adaptation because "executives were impressed with his interview and because he was known for bringing his films in under budget." Starring Miles Teller as Albert S. Ruddy, Matthew Goode as Robert Evans, Juno Temple as Bettye McCartt, Giovanni Ribisi as Joe Colombo, Dan Fogler as Francis Ford Coppola, Burn Gorman as Charles Bluhdorn, Patrick Gallo as Mario Puzo, Justin Chambers as Marlon Brando, and Colin Hanks as Barry Lapidus. Bring it on! This looks fantastic! Who doesn't enjoy a good inside-Hollywood true story? Especially one set in the wild 1970s. ›››

"You must wonder why you drove him to it…" But is wasn't her… was it? A24 has debuted the full-length official trailer for Alex Garland's new film titled Men, his follow-up to both Annihilation and Ex Machina.

It also features Rory Kinnear (playing a bunch of different men) and Paapa Essiedu. With cinematography by Rob Hardy (who also shot Ex Machina, M:I Fallout).

Watch: Uber Trippy, Mind-Melting Animated Short 'Eating in The Dark'

"Having this would make you fully independent." I love stumbling across incredible animated shorts and this is another one that will melt your mind. In a good way… if that's possible. Eating in The Dark is an experimental animated short made by a Finnish animation filmmaker named Inari Sirola. The film follows a woman named Siro on her "quest for self discovery" as she's tormented by a yellow demon reminding her about all her mistakes. She wanted to make a film about identity. "I realised how fragile a person's identity can be and how easily we can get lost. Personally, when I'm feeling vulnerable, other people’s opinions and comments weigh more than they should." Featuring the voices of Inari Sirola, Susie Scott, and Ruanth Chrisley Thyssen. There is some clever storytelling in here in addition to all the mesmerizing animation. ›››

HBO's Short Documentary 'When We Were Bullies' Official Trailer

"Why didn't I say 'stop?'" HBO has revealed an official trailer for the documentary short film titled When We Were Bullies, a 30-minute short doc that originally premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival last year. The film is already nominated this year for Best Documentary Short at the Oscars - and might just win this weekend coming up. In When We Were Bullies, a coincidence leads filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt to track down his fifth-grade class and fifth-grade teacher to examine their memory of and complicity in a bullying incident 50 years ago. "In a playful yet poignant reflection, Rosenblatt begins to understand his complicity, his sense of shame and the shared nature of such incidents and their aftermath." A lot to process… There have been many docs recently on bullying and how to deal with it, I just hope they are making a difference. ›››

First Trailer for Direct-to-Video Action Film Remake 'Eraser: Reborn'

"You can save me, right?" "I can help you stay alive." Warner Bros Home Ent. has revealed the first official trailer for Eraser: Reborn, described as a "reboot of the 1996 blockbuster". That title makes it seem like a sequel, though it seems to be less about the sci-fi action this time and more about what's going on with this clandestine side of the government. The story is based on U.S. Marshal Mason Pollard who is specialized in engineering the fake deaths of witnesses that leave no trace of their existence after. The film stars Dominic Sherwood as Mason Pollard, Jacky Lai, McKinley Belcher III as Paul Whitlock, a mentor to Pollard, and Eddie Ramos as Sugar Jax, a local gangster. This looks so generic and forgettable. Though they did find a way to put an angry hippo into this! (Though in the first movie it's a crocodile.) The trailer plays more like a tourism commercial for South Africa than an interesting action movie. You may want to skip this one. ›››
