First Teaser Trailer for Netflix's 'Sly' Doc Film About Sylvester Stallone

"What is healthier – to live under the illusion that you could have been great...? Or actually have an opportunity to be great, and then you blow it, and you realize you're a failure...?" Netlfix has revealed a first look teaser trailer for a new documentary film titled Sly, a biopic profile of the iconic actor Sylvester Stallone. This is a good follow-up to Netflix's other doc about the other hunky action star Schwarzenegger, titled simply Arnold. They're using the same one-name setup again. For nearly 50 years, Sylvester Stallone has entertained millions with iconic characters and franchises, from Rocky to Rambo to The Expendables. This retrospective doc is an intimate look at the beloved actor & writer & director & producer, paralleling his inspirational underdog-story with the indelible characters he has brought to life. If you're into docs about actors, I also recommend the doc Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. Not much in this teaser, it's only a first look. // Continue Reading ›

"Requesting return to the Halo orbit."

Official Trailer for Violent Thriller 'The Passenger' Starring Kyle Gallner

"If I'm gonna help you, then I can't have you getting in my way. Because it forces me to hurt you. I need you to work with me, not against me." Paramount and MGM+ have revealed an official trailer for an action thriller horror crossover called The Passenger, the latest from the genre filmmaker Carter Smith (of The Ruins, Jamie Marks Is Dead, and Swallowed - also released earlier this year). Not to be confused with Jack Nicholson's 1975 film also called The Passenger. This is a Blumhouse production, produced by Jason Blum, that will be dropping on VOD directly in August. A man is forced to face his fears and confront his troubled past. He must find a way to survive when his co-worker snaps and goes on a violent killing spree, taking him along for the ride. This one stars Kyle Gallner, Johnny Berchtold, Liza Weil, with Merah Benoit and Morgana Shaw. An unsettling trailer that gets uncomfortable by the end, but that's the point of this film. // Continue Reading ›

Harris Dickinson in Excellent Fatherhood Indie Film 'Scrapper' Trailer

"Didn't think I needed you... And I don't need you to replace mum." Picturehouse in the UK has revealed an official trailer for an acclaimed indie film titled Scrapper, marking the feature directorial debut of British filmmaker Charlotte Regan. This first premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, and it also played at the Istanbul, Beijing, Seattle, and Sydney Film Festivals. A joyful comedy bubbling with hope, Scrapper stars Harris Dickinson (from Triangle of Sadness) and Lola Campbell. Georgie, a dreamy 12-year-old girl, lives happily alone in her London flat, filling it with magic. Suddenly, her estranged father Jason turns up and forces her to confront reality. It's a remarkably subversive film showing - what if a father can heal and get better and become everything he is supposed to be. Not the other way around, as usually depicted in films nowadays. It's really wonderful and I hope everyone will give it a look whenever it opens in the US later this year. For now, enjoy this UK trailer for a first look - both Dickinson & Campbell are superb. // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for Vampire Movie 'Empire V' Set in Post-Modern Moscow

"A vampire employs the same mental constructs as a human but his thoughts follow a different path." An official trailer is available for a Russian film called Empire V, a vampire thriller from filmmaker Victor Ginzburg. Empire V is a social parody of modern Russian society being controlled by vampires. The film was originally set to be released by Sony in Russia in 2022. After the start of the Ukrainian war and one week prior to the film's release, it was pulled from theaters by the Kremlin and banned, making it a film without a country. It stars popular Russian rapper Oxxymiron, whose anti-war stance has recently led to him to be labeled a "foreign agent". Empire V follows a 19-year-old Moscow nobody who receives an invitation to join an elite and powerful echelon of society, only to discover the bloody secrets of a vampiric dictatorship who has controlled humanity since time immemorial. The movie also stars Pavel Tabakov, Taya Radchenko, Miron Fedorov, and Vera Alentova. It's premiering soon at the Fantasia Film Festival in July - but will anyone see it after then? This looks batshit crazy - and not necessarily in good way. Absolutely worth a look. // Continue Reading ›

Max Doc 'Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York' Trailer

"Queer bars were one of the few places where we could come and feel safe... And then, all the sudden, everything was taken away." HBO has revealed an official trailer for a four-part docu-series called Last Call: When a Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York, and LGBTQ-themed true crime thriller. It will be released on HBO and streaming on Max starting in early July. Based on the book "Last Call: A True Story of Love, Lust, and Murder in Queer New York" written by Elon Green. As the AIDS crisis intensifies in the early 1990s, homophobia and hate crimes increase, and a serial killer preys on gay men in New York City by infiltrating the queer nightlife to identify his victims. The film highlights the prejudices and attitudes of the times, when deep-rooted biases in the criminal justice system and the media's distorted public perception of the victims undermined the investigation (all too similar to what's happening again nowadays). Featuring Matt Foreman, Bea Hanson, & David Wertheimer of the NYC Anti-Violence Project. Keep an eye out for this. // Continue Reading ›

70s Thriller 'Dead Shot' Trailer Featuring Mark Strong & Felicity Jones

"I'm going after the soldier that killed Carol." "The man you want is working for the police." Quiver Distr. has revealed an official trailer for Dead Shot, another new action thriller to enjoy. But this one finally has something unique to offer - it's set on the dark and paranoid streets of 1970's London, with some extra gritty chase scenes. Opening in the US on VOD in August. A retired Irish paramilitary witnesses the fatal shooting of his pregnant wife by an SAS officer. After outwitting the government, now wounded, and presumed dead, he escapes, taking his revenge to the streets. It looks like he catches up with the killer and might have a change of heart.

Starring Aml Ameen, Colin Morgan, Máiréad Tyers, Dara Devaney, with Mark Strong and Felicity Jones. This seems like it might be pretty solid. It has some slick style, two strong leader performances, and a few other tricks up its sleeve. Take a look below. // Continue Reading ›

Thrilling Trailer for 'The Dive' - She's Trapped Underwater While Diving

"You have to go to the surface and call for help!" RLJE Films has revealed the trailer for an underwater survival thriller titled The Dive, from German filmmaker Maximilian Erlenwein. This is actually a remake of a Scandinavian film called Breaking Surface, which has the same plot except in Norway. In this new one, two sisters go diving at a beautiful, remote location. One is struck by a rock underwater from a landslide, leaving her trapped 28 meters below. With dangerously low levels of oxygen and cold temperatures at these depths, it is up to her sister to save her – Drew must make life-and-death decisions with no outside help in sight... The thriller stars Sophie Lowe as Drew and Louisa Krause as May – the one trapped. This looks super scary! Especially for anyone afraid of deep water. This trailer plays like 127 Hours, but underwater. If you're already nervous of SCUBA diving, this will make you never ever want to try it. Take a deep breath... // Continue Reading ›

Lucas Till & Ruby Rose in Elite Assassins Film 'The Collective' Trailer

"Found 'em! I'll send some guys..." Quiver Distribution has unveiled an official trailer for The Collective, a new action thriller from filmmaker Tom DeNucci (of Arlo: The Burping Pig, Johnny & Clyde). This is yet another of these junk action films, with a similar plot to so many others - involving hitmen and traffickers and taking out the "bad guys". A young recruit to a mysterious agency finds himself going rogue on his first assignment, tracking down a dangerous group of "untouchable" human traffickers. The Collective charts the story of a group of righteous assassins who take aim at a human trafficking ring that's backed by a network of billionaires. Lucas Till stars as Sam Alexander, a "rookie assassin", joined by Ruby Rose, Mercedes Varnado, Paul Ben-Victor, Tyrese Gibson, John Fiore, Levon Panek, plus Don Johnson as their leader. This looks as uninteresting and derivative as anything can, even the action. Will anyone even watch? // Continue Reading ›

Gunslinger Western 'Dead Man's Hand' Official Trailer with Jack Kilmer

"Find Reno: you bring 'em to me, dead or alive." Lionsgate has revealed a trailer for an action western film called Dead Man's Hand, yet another of these dime-a-dozen junk action movies. Way too many of them nowadays. This one will be out on VOD in July to watch. The film follows Reno, a newly married gunfighter seeking a quiet life with his bride. When Reno kills a bandit in self-defense, he finds them both pulled back into his old ways. Clarence Bishop, the local corrupt mayor will not let his brother's death go unpunished, so Reno returns to action swearing revenge on anyone who harms him or his family. Starring Cole Hauser as Reno, Stephen Dorff, Jack Kilmer, Forrie J. Smith, Tait Fletcher, Mo Brings Plenty, Corin Nemec, and Costas Mandylor. This looks like every other action western released in the last few years, more of the same ol' boring trash being released recently. Young Kilmer looks like the only good part of this. // Continue Reading ›

Jason Patric & Cam Gigandet in Border Action Thriller 'Shrapnel' Trailer

"You promised to keep us safe. You didn't." Saban Films has launched an official trailer for another of these junk action thrillers called Shrapnel, on VOD to watch in late July. This is the third film out this year from a filmmaker you've never heard of named William Kaufman - his other two are The Channel and Warhorse One. None of these films do anything unique or different. In this one, when Sean's daughter goes missing on the Mexican border, he teams up with his former Marine partner to face off against the Mexican cartel that kidnapped her. Oh, how original. The film stars Jason Patric as Sean, with Cam Gigandet, Kesia Elwin, Mauricio Mendoza, and Guillermo Iván. This looks so boring and so dumb. "Whether she's alive or not, nobody's gettin' out of there." Does anyone even watch these movies? Please don't waste any time or money. // Continue Reading ›

Must See Trailer for Atomic Bomb Espionage Doc 'A Compassionate Spy'

"Something gruesome & horrible was being constructed." Magnolia Pictures has revealed an official trailer for an acclaimed documentary film titled A Compassionate Spy, made by the award-winning Chicago-based doc filmmaker Steve James (who's best known for Hoop Dreams, Life Itself about Roger Ebert, The Interrupters, Abacus: Small Enough to Jail). This premiered at the 2022 Venice Film Festival last year, and ended up being one of my favorite films of the festival. A Compassionate Spy tells the incredible story of Manhattan Project scientist Ted Hall, who shared classified nuclear secrets with Russia. Hall is interviewed extensively, along with his wife Joan Hall, and courageously tells his story in this. It's a very sensitive topic, especially nowadays, but fascinating to dig into - he was one of a few people who had worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos and shared its secrets to the Russians. He thought it would be wrong for America to be the only country with this extraordinary power. Does he regret this knowing what Russia became? You have to watch this doc when it opens in August to find out what he really thinks. This is highly recommend by me. // Continue Reading ›

Olivier Dahan's Biopic 'Simone: Woman of the Century' Official Trailer

"Why are they after me like that?" "They can't stand what you represent." Goldwyn Films has released an official US trailer for Simone: Woman of the Century, a French biopic about a woman named Simone Veil. She passed away in 2017 at the age of 89, but during her time she was a French magistrate, Holocaust survivor, and politician who served as Health Minister, and President of the European Parliament from 1979 to 1982, the first woman to hold that office. "One of the prominent women in France in the 20th Century." The film explores her life, as a leading politician, human rights campaigner, and feminist -- through a series of non-chronological memories. Similar to the Bob Dylan film I'm Not There; this one is from the director of La Vie en Rose. "An intimate and epic portrait of an extraordinary woman who eminently challenged and transformed her era." The French film stars Elsa Zylberstein as Simone Veil, with Rebecca Marder as Young Simone , plus Élodie Bouchez, Judith Chemla, Olivier Gourmet, and Mathieu Spinosi. This first opened in France last year and recently played at the 2023 Palm Springs Film Festival earlier this year. // Continue Reading ›

"At last, it's my turn to take you on a guided tour of my movies, my stories. Peek into my world." Dogwoof has revealed the first official trailer for another new Mark Cousins documentary film called My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock, exploring the legacy and iconic filmmaking of the one-and-only "master of suspense." This premiered at the 2022 Telluride Film Festival last year and has been touring at around including at Glasgow, Hong Kong, and San Francisco Film Festivals, plus DOK.fest München. Directed by Mark Cousins (also of The Eyes of Orson Welles and The Storms of Jeremy Thomas), My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock re-examines the vast filmography and the legacy of one of the 20th century's greatest filmmakers, Alfred Hitchcock, through a new lens: through the auteur’s own voice. In this doc film "written and narrated" by Hitchcock, the doyen of cinema reveals his tricks for creating tension with sound, manipulating viewers and telling stories to a new audience. "A revealing masterclass in film with a twinkle in its eye." This clearly fake voiceover is strange, and gets in the way of enjoying this fully, but I'm still intrigued to analyze with Hitch. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for 'Joke Man' Doc About the Comedian Jackie Martling

"The untold story of one of America's last joke tellers." Hellobox Films has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film called Joke Man, arriving to watch on VOD starting in July this summer. Made by Ian Karr, it's a film about a beloved comedian. Jackie Martling just may be America's last great joke teller. His savant-like ability to remember every joke he's heard since he was 8 years old, combined with his lightning fast wit and infectious laugh helped established him as a comedy icon. Famous for being the head writer of the Howard Stern show for 15 years, and infamous for leaving that position, Jackie's story is fascinating, funny and surprising to discover. In an age of political correctness, Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling helps us belly-laugh at ourselves with a kindness and sincerity that defuses his unfiltered punch lines. This looks like a simple yet amusing doc packed with special guests. It should, above all, make you burst out laughing. // Continue Reading ›

Full US Trailer for 'Final Cut' - Zombie Comedy Remake from France

"There's a weird vibe on this shoot." Ahahaha this film is so much fun! Kino Lorber has revealed their main official trailer for the US release of Final Cut, the French zombie comedy remake of the Japanese cult hit One Cut of the Dead. This first premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival (here's my review). Academy Award–winning writer-director Michel Hazanavicius brings one of the most innovative, joyful, and funniest love letters to film & filmmaking you'll ever see. It's a French remake of the Japanese box office hit One Cut of The Dead (which is also a must watch), going even deeper with its meta-ness by including the Japanese filmmakers watching them do this. It keeps the heart & humor of the original while delivering some of its own unique comedy as well. Coupez! (as it's originally known in France) stars Romain Duris, Berenice Bejo, Finnegan Oldfield, Matilda Lutz, Grégory Gadebois, & Jean-Pascal Zadi. This isn't the best trailer, but if any of this makes you smile or laugh, you have to watch this film - especially with an audience. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for Unsolved Airplane Crash Mystery Doc 'Murky Skies'

"At the moment I knew - there was something completely wrong." Dogwoof has unveiled a promo trailer for a chilling documentary film titled Murky Skies, yet another of these "true crime" docs that Netflix and audiences are into these days. This one is about a mysterious unsolved airplane crash from the 90s, one that many may have forgotten. The 1992 crash of an Israeli Boeing 747 into an apartment building in Amsterdam remains a three decades mystery, fueled by unexplained illnesses, lost evidence, mysterious cargo, and one missing black box. An international thriller that chronicles how narratives are conceived and uncovers the hidden threads between business, politics, the military and us: the people. Directed by Israeli doc filmmaker Noam Pinchas, Murky Skies will be released as a 3-part doc series - perfect for Netflix. It already opened in Israel and The Netherlands, though no other international release dates are set. This looks quite compelling, dipping into conspiracy theory territory bolstered by plenty of strange unexplainable evidence. I'm curious. // Continue Reading ›

The series was created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blancha, and this new movie is written & directed by Small. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia? The movie stars the voices of Brendon Small, Tommy Blacha, Victor Brandt, Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner (Grammy Award-winning musician), King Diamond (King Diamond; Mercyful Fate), plus Mark Hamill, Kirk Hammett, Jon Hamm, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Amy Lee (Evanescence), Malcolm McDowell, Juliet Mills, Laraine Newman (SNL), and Livia Zita (2022 winner - Society of Voice Arts and Sciences Award). This looks gnarly! Mainly for fans of this series, but it might also connect with animation fans, too. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: What Do the Sheep Know? 'Some Kind of Intimacy' Short Film

"The more time I spend with them, the more I feel that they know that there are people buried here." "Do you think animals know anything?" A good question, one that can never actually be answered because none of us will lever know what it's like to be an animal. But we can certainly wonder... Some Kind of Intimacy is a short film made by a British filmmaker named Toby Bull, and after playing at festivals for the past few years it's now available online to watch. Here is the pitch: A filmmaker tries to communicate with the sheep living where his parents are buried. It's as simple as that. He starts to wonder if they can sense his parents buried under the grass they're grazing on. The short film isn't even 6 minutes, but it gets you to think about things (life, death, souls, baaa?). "This minimalist film is huge, for it seizes a just intuition, a sort of vision," one review proclaims. Watching all these sheep reminds me of The Witch again. I'm sure Black Phillip knew. // Continue Reading ›

Short Trailer for Horror Film 'Natty Knocks' Featuring Robert Englund

"Natty knocks nine times! Don't answer your door, close all your blinds, hide under your bed, or she'll take off your head!" Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an indie horror film titled Natty Knocks, from filmmaker Dwight H. Little. It's set to open in July if any horror fans are curious about this one. From the legendary director of Halloween 4 comes Natty Knocks.

Natty Knocks stars Bill Moseley, Danielle Harris, and Robert Englund, as well as Charlotte Fountain-Jardim in the lead role as the babysitter, Thomas Robie, Noen Perez, and Jason James Richter. This doesn't look half bad, with a cool concept involving the meta horror movie elements worked into it. Will it actually be scary? Hard to tell. // Continue Reading ›

This seems to have originally been developed as a doc film, but its being split into five 45 minute episodes (for a total of 225 minutes - which is almost 4 hours).

Official US Trailer for 'Millie Lies Low' Kiwi Coming-of-Age Comedy

"I just got dumped by my future." Film Movement has revealed an official US trailer for a Kiwi coming-of-age comedy called Millie Lies Low, marking the feature directorial debut of a filmmaker named Michelle Savill. This initially premiered at the 2021 New Zealand Film Festival, before also screening at many other fests in 2022: Berlinale, SXSW, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Philadelphia. Set to open in US art house theaters this June. Anxiety-ridden Millie is on her way from Wellington to New York for an internship at a prestigious architecture firm when a moment of panic causes her to miss her flight - so she pretends to be there anyway while camping out in New Zealand. It's been compared to Fleabag + Eighth Grade, which should be enough to get your attention. Starring Ana Scotney as Millie, Rachel House, Chris Alosio, Jillian Nguyen, & Sam Cotton. This also reminds me of the dark comedy Not Okay with all the social media fakery going on. // Continue Reading ›

The GameStop $$ Movie: 'Dumb Money' Trailer with Dano & Davidson

"If he's in, I'm in." Sony has revealed the first trailer for a movie called Dumb Money, the big Hollywood fictional take on the infamous GameStop Wall Street story from a few years ago. There have already been tons of doc films made about this story (see: HBO's Gaming Wall Street, Netflix's Eat the Rich) but now we get Hollywood's take on it, from the same director of I Tonya, Cruella, "Pam & Tommy". "You can’t make this $hit up. Get invested in the insane true story that shocked the world." The film follows the Wall Street chaos after GameStop's stock skyrocketed due to Reddit. Paul Dano stars as the "regular guy" who stars it all, named Keith Gill. The main cast includes Pete Davidson, Vincent D'Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley, and Seth Rogen. This looks like good fun, but it also looks kinda vacuous, like all the Wall Street bros in it. And they don't know how to market it other than The Wolf of Wall Street all over again. "There's no hope for the little guy..." Or is there? // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for 'Project Greenlight' Superpowers Film 'Gray Matter'

"These abilities - they're complicated, they're transformative, and they can be dangerous." (HBO) Max has revealed an official trailer for the film Gray Matter, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Meko Winbush. Some of you will remember a show called Project Greenlight on HBO, about first-time filmmakers who were pitching & developing projects. The show is back (new trailer below) and Gray Matter is the feature film project they greenlit - following it through the production and post- process. It's ready to debut in July. Aurora has known all her life from her mother that the superhuman abilities they have also make them dangerous. Now, Aurora will discover if her mother was speaking the truth on one fateful and fatal night. Gray Matter stars Mia Isaac as Aurora, with Jessica Frances Dukes, Garret Dillahunt, Andrew Liner, Isabella Ferreira, Kristian Flores, Ezri Walker, and Allison Ye. This reminds me of Fast Color, a very similar premise. Though it gets a bit weird with the psychological thriller stuff at the end. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for 'The Beanie Bubble' Starring Zach Galifianakis as Ty

"Have you considered poisoning him?" "Countless times..." Apple has revealed the first look official trailer for a new movie called The Beanie Bubble, a fictional story about the crazy guy who created the world-famous Beanie Babies plush toy line and turned them into a hugely profitable worldwide you-gotta-have-them trend. They're making more and more movies like this nowadays because these guys are totally nuts and they don't deserve this money for tricking people into buying stuffed animals, and they got away with it anyway (and we all bought them, of course). But I'm not supposed to say this, right? "Capitalism, dial-up Internet, and bean-filled plush animals" in The Beanie Bubble. Zach Galifianakis stars as Ty Warner, with Elizabeth Banks, Sarah Snook, Geraldine Viswanathan, Kurt Yaeger, plus Madison Johnson. This looks crazy good! Reminds me of I, Tonya or Bad Education, but uh for the Beanie Babies guy instead. // Continue Reading ›

This has such a huge setup with the couple, then everything else that gets them in there. Check it out? // Continue Reading ›

'The Storms of Jeremy Thomas' Movie Producer Road Trip Doc Trailer

"I look at the man in the car besides me – who is he?" Cohen Media has revealed an official US trailer for a cinema nerd documentary titled The Storms of Jeremy Thomas, one of the other recent projects from Irish cinephile filmmaker Mark Cousins. This first premiered in 2021 at the Cannes Film Festival, mainly because it's about going to Cannes, but it also played at the London and Vienna Film Fests as well. An off-beat grand tour that will take in landmarks and many people connected to the producer's life and films as they drive across France to the iconic festival. For decades, legendary film producer Jeremy Thomas has driven from England to the Cannes Film Festival - usually taking five days to get there. For this journey, he's joined by acclaimed filmmaker Mark Cousins who recaps his life. Illustrated with a dazzling range of film clips and rich in insights about creativity / survival, The Storms of Jeremy Thomas is a road movie portrait of France, a film school, and–in the era of streaming & corporatization–a passionate call to arms for movies that get to the heart of life. This looks quite good! I want to hear all of his stories about films and festivals. // Continue Reading ›

Ella Lily Hyland & Aidan Turner in 'Fifteen-Love' Tennis Series Trailer

"All it takes is one person to believe her." Amazon has unveiled a first look trailer for a new British crime drama series titled Fifteen-Love, without a streaming date announced yet. This seems to be a response to Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, which just got its own trailer yesterday, another romantic drama involving a young woman who's a tennis prodigy. Is this meant to be counter-programming? Or just another tennis-based story? Set in the world of elite tennis, the drama portrays Justine as a one-time rising star whose sudden success at 17 took her and her coach Glenn Lapthorn to the quarterfinals of the French Open. The former tennis prodigy makes an allegation against her former coach five years after an injury puts a stop to her career. Ella Lily Hyland stars as Justine, with Aidan Turner as her coach, plus Anna Chancellor, Jessica Darrow, Tom Varey, Lorenzo Richelmy, Manon Azem, and Elizabeth Berrington. I can't tell from this trailer if she's lying because she isn't famous anymore, or if he's lying because he's the hotshot. // Continue Reading ›

Richard Armitage is a Vatican Operative in 'The Man from Rome' Trailer

"The deaths – are they accidents... or murder?" Screen Media Films has unveiled the official trailer for a thriller titled The Man from Rome, which is the English title given to this Spanish film starring Richard Armitage in Italy. This already opened in Europe last year under the original Spanish name La Piel Del Tambor, though it doesn't seem like it's good enough to get a proper theatrical release in the US. Vatican intelligence operative Father Quart (Richard Armitage) investigates an anonymous message sent to the pope concerning a crumbling Spanish church that "kills to defend itself". Sent to Seville to investigate, a deep conspiracy unfolds that puts Father Quart's loyalty and his faith to the test. Armitage co-stars with Amaia Salamanca, Paul Guilfoyle, Paul Freeman, Rodolfo Sancho, Fionnula Flanagan, Carlos Cuevas, along with Franco Nero as "El Papa", The Pope. This looks so wacky - Vatican hackers, a priest with a gun, businessmen demolishing a church. Wild. No wonder this is a Redbox release, seems like made-for-TV junk. // Continue Reading ›

Cailee Spaeny & Jacob Elordi in Sofia Coppola's 'Priscilla' Teaser Trailer

"What about boys at school? Must be some handsome ones..." A24 has unveiled a first look teaser trailer for Sofia Coppola's new film titled Priscilla, which is being described as "Coppola's take on the relationship between Priscilla and Elvis Presley." It's set to arrive in theaters later this October, which means it'll likely premiere at the Venice and Telluride and Toronto Film Festivals in the fall before heading to cinemas. Through Priscilla's eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla's long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt & ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame. Cailee Spaeny stars as Priscilla, with Jacob Elordi as Elvis Presley, and an ensemble cast including Raine Monroe Boland, Dagmara Domińczyk, Emily Mitchell, Jorja Cadence, Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll, and Luke Humphrey. This looks exquisite, as expected from Coppola, with plenty of nice shots to keep us all intrigued until it debuts. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: A John Williams Featurette for 'Indiana Jones - Dial of Destiny'

"John's music is unparalleled... It's just incredible. How original and how powerful the themes are that John creates for each element of the film." Maestro! The best! Lucasfilm has posted a new promo featurette for James Mangold's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which will be landing in theaters in a few weeks, focusing on legendary composer John Williams. Some may recall that last year we posted a video of Williams performing "Helena's Theme" from Dial of Destiny at a Hollywood Bowl performance before we even knew who Helena was. Now with the movie about to open, this featurette is a reminder of how glorious and iconic Williams is and all of his themes are. This is expected to be Williams' very last score after decades of work, though you never know. The video features Steven Spielberg, James Mangold, Harrison Ford, and Kathleen Kennedy talking about the magic of John Williams, along with some shots of him on the sound stage recording with the orchestra. A heartfelt reminder of how important a great score is when finishing a film, and how Indy's theme will be remember forever and ever. This sequel is worth seeing on the big screen. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for German Sci-Fi Thriller 'Paradise' About Eternal Youth

"This woman stole 40 years from you. We're going to take them back." Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for a German sci-fi thriller feature film titled Paradise, from filmmaker Boris Kunz. It's premiering this week at the 2023 Munich Film Festival, hence the trailer dropping now. It's a dystopian look at a future where we've commoditized our "youth", human aging, to always stay young. A man sees the dark side of the time-manipulating biotech company he works for when a crushing debt forces his wife to give up 40 years of her own life. Trade your life for money: In the not-too-distant future, a method of transferring years of your life from one person to another has changed the world forever and turned biotech start-up AEON into a billion-dollar pharmaceutical company. When his wife has to pay debts by giving up 38 years, everything changes for this couple. The film stars Kostja Ullmann, Iris Berben, Numan Acar, Marlene Tanczik, Alina Levshin, Lisa-Marie Koroll, and Corinna Kirchhoff. This is a sneaky concept, reminds me of In Time, but with an evil biotech company (very German). I hope they will bring this company crashing down? // Continue Reading ›
