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 ›

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 ›

Hilariously Bad Teaser Trailer for Origins of 'Hershey' Chocolate Movie

"You keep chasing perfection, when maybe you should be chasing magic." This can't be real. This has to be a fake movie, right? There's no way! It doesn't look like a movie from Apple TV's "The Studio", it looks like something from SNL. It's so bad it's funny. It's so cheesy it's an instant Golden Raspberry winner. Angel has revealed the first look teaser trailer for the Hershey movie, about the origins of the iconic Pennsylvania chocolate company known as Hersheys. It began in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in as a candy shop in 1873, evolved into a caramel company in 1883, with Hershey Chocolate operating as its subsidiary. The very first Hershey's Milk Chocolate bar was made in the year 1900. The film depicts this history of The Hershey Co, built by its founder Milton & his wife Kitty, and how their vision changed the world. Uh huh. Sure it did. A film by Mark Waters, with an ensemble cast featuring Finn Wittrock as Milton S. Hershey, Alexandra Daddario as Catherine "Kitty" Hershey, Alan Ruck, Richard Kind, David Costabile, Heléne Yorke. This sounds like a good story to tell, but this footage looks abysmal. So cheesy and cheap and amusing. Ugh. // Continue Reading ›

"This picture is almost 10 times the size of that stored on a standard 35mm frame." A BIG visit to IMAX! Time for another 20 minute geek out session with Adam! The Tested YouTube channel has posted a new 20-min video this week taking a tour of the remarkable IMAX headquarters backroom where they dive into understanding their 70mm film projection. Tested's host Adam Savage makes his way into the LA HQ for IMAX to talk about and get a closer look at 70mm IMAX cinema and how huge and glorious it is. There are a number of major 70mm film IMAX movies hitting theaters this year, which is why 70mm IMAX is getting so much focus. It's the biggest and most pristine of Large Format projection still around, and IMAX is trying to keep actual 70mm film projectors in operation (mainly in US & Canada) but it's costly & require this exact level of expert management. This video goes all out doing film prep with a print manager named Irving, who also geeks out with Adam about everything (and btw they're working on a print for Nolan's The Odyssey in this). All of it just just makes me wish I was sitting down there about to see whatever they're about to show. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for 'Young Washington' with Kingsley, Serkis, Grammer

"Choose your path, make it yours... Prove them wrong." The religious movie distributor Angel Studios has unveiled an official trailer for the movie Young Washington, a traditionalist look back at the origin story of "America's first leader." The story of America's first president - George Washington - but way before then, when he was a teenager. From filmmaker Jon Erwin (of Jesus Revolution, I Can Only Imagine, House of David) comes a powerful new historical epic based on the true story that shaped a nation. Introducing William Franklyn-Miller as the young George and also starring Mary-Louise Parker as his mom Mary Washington, Kelsey Grammer as Lord Fairfax, Andy Serkis as Edward Braddock, Jonno Davies as James Mackay, Ben Kingsley as Robert Dinwiddie. This film explores the courage, sacrifice, and destiny that forged a legendary leader – following George "fighting through intense battles in the French and Indian War and fending for himself in tense military meetings." Not entirely sure how accurate it will be. The movie opens in theaters in July 2026 – just before Independence Day this summer, which will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. An obvious time to release this. This trailer really plays up the whole "we need to be free of British corruption" part of the story of America's founding. // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for 'Mint' UK Romance Crime Series Starring Emma Laird

"This is more important than you – this is our family business." Let them love! BBC has unveiled the first official trailer for Mint, a unique new romance crime series from filmmaker Charlotte Regan, director of the superb Scrapper a few years back. "Some connections change everything..." Mint is a darkly comic and unconventional drama series about a crime family's inner life, told through the eyes of its daughter, who is searching for love. It was filmed up in Scotland and around the UK early last year. Emma Laird stars as Shannon, the naively romantic daughter of a crime family – a real-life princess who has never wanted for anything. She meets Arran, a member of a rival gang. Their whirlwind romance begins to unravel the world she’s always known. A darkly comic story of passion, heartbreak and love laced with fear. "A criminally good love story." The series also stars Lewis Gribben, Laura Fraser, Sam Riley, Lindsay Duncan, and Ben Coyle-Larner as Arran. This looks solid even with this quick trailer. Less than 60 seconds of footage in here and still a handful of dazzling shots that make me really want to see more from this. It's worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›

1980s East Village Underground Film 'No Picnic' 4K Restoration Trailer

"They're pushing us east, man. From A to B to C to the East River." Film Forum is re-releasing this iconic 80s indie film in theaters again starting this month. No Picnic is the 1987 film from Philip Hartman – a love letter to pre-gentrification East Village in NYC. This brand new 4K restoration will play again in NYC soon. Macabee Cohen, whose heyday as a rock musician is long gone, travels the city in a beat-up VW bus, supplying records to local juke boxes. His beloved Lower East Side neighborhood is in turmoil: rampant real estate speculation, tenants on rent strike, art invading the bars - "in my own neighborhood, I felt like I was in the middle of a party that I hadn't been invited to," he says. Mac's personal life is in turmoil, too.Then a mysterious girl appears in his life, and Mac's obsession to find her becomes a quest of self-discovery, too - "I was looking for someone to save," he says, "to save myself." So off he goes to find her... This features David Brisbin, Myoshin, Anne D'Agnillo, & Luis Guzmán, with appearances by Steve Buscemi, Richard Hell, and other fixtures of the Downtown music & art scenes (Rafik, Bleecker Bob). This looks like a unique, vibrant (even in B&W) time capsule capturing a realm of NYC that doesn't exist anymore. It's worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: Spike Jonze Directs Zendaya in Surreal 'Shape of Dreams' Ad

Dream On? Time for another dose of "but when will Spike Jonze ever directed a new movie?" distraction. Alas there's still no word on if he's directing a feature film project anytime soon. But while we wait, patiently for it to happen one day, he is still whipping up crazy creative and weird and unique commercials and short films. Last year we posted his Gucci short film The Tiger (co-directed by Spike and Halina Reijn) along with his "Someday" Apple AirPods commercial with a dancing Pedro Pascal; and also in 2024 his brilliant "All My Love" music video featuring then 99-year-old Dick Van Dyke dancing around his home. One thing is for sure - Spike Jonze really loves making his actors dance in his commercials! And I will continue to feature his new advertising work - even if it just shameless marketing for corporations. Jonze's latest creation is this "Shape of Dreams" ad for the Swiss shoe company called On featuring Zendaya getting funky trying to dress herself. Yes it's just a clothing ad but it's fun & clever & quirky. Which is what we all love about Spike. // Continue Reading ›
