Vikander & Marinelli & Sarandon in 'The Echo Chamber' Teaser Trailer
The mysteries of love... 01 Distribution in Italy has revealed the first official trailer for the film The Echo Chamber, an Italian romantic drama from filmmaker Andrea Pallaoro (also Medeas, Hannah, Monica). After premiering Monica at the festival back in 2022, he's returning once again with his latest film - in both English and Italian. The film is a love story where the boundaries between presence and absence, care and dependence, desire and control blur until they dissolve... The romance is between Luca Marinelli as Leo and Alicia Vikander as Anne, and the cast includes Susan Sarandon (whose "voice echoes across time, carrying to the surface what endures"). This project is based on an old Bernardo Bertolucci screenplay of the same name, however updated through Pallaoro's lens to tell a heartfelt story about emotional dependency. Andrea took the screenplay as a point of departure, finding in it themes that have long originated his own cinema and reshaping them to create this new film. The Echo Chamber is premiering in the competition in Venice next week before opening in Italian cinemas right after. Stay tuned for first reviews + more updates. // Continue Reading ›

First Trailer for Zack Snyder's 'The Last Photograph' Premiering at TIFF
"I have stretched my aching body across the world." Here we go! The Toronto Film Festival has announced a surprise last-minute addition to the line-up this year: Zack Snyder's new film The Last Photograph. There were rumors earlier in the year that this might show up in Cannes, but it looks like TIFF is the place for it. After making his two Rebel Moon movies, Snyder went out and shot this film on the down low. It was filmed across Iceland, Colombia, and Los Angeles throughout 2025 – with Snyder himself working as the cinematographer. An ex-DEA agent searches South American mountains for his murdered diplomat siblings' children, aided by a junkie photographer who is the only one who saw the killers, confronting past demons as reality blurs in remote wilderness. "Their journey into the unknown takes them further and further away from civilization, bringing into question everything they believe..." Starring Stuart Martin & Fra Fee as Ethan & Joe, with Costanza Andrade, Marlon Moreno, Quique Mendoza, Pedro Calvo-Anca, Ed Hughes, Mia Calvo, Gustavo Angarita, Jackie Kay, José Restrepo. With a score by Hans Zimmer, Omer Benyamin, Steven Doar. This is a full trailer posted by TIFF now that it's officially confirmed as part of the TIFF 2026 festival line-up - premiering in September up in Toronto. Snyder is also still looking for a distributor for this movie. // Continue Reading ›

"You don't understand what's happening in the world! It's chaos out there!" Vertical has unveiled the main official trailer for the indie film Come With Me, a thriller similar to Falling Down about man losing his grip when everyone turns against him. We posted the first teaser for this in April when it was premiering at a film festival. It's now ready to hit limited theaters starting this September. "The film is both topical and polarizing—a true independent project brought to life through diligence, collaboration, and Aaron Harvey’s distinct vision." After more problems at his job and a traumatic home invasion event that still haunts him, a working-class man named Simon finds catharsis in his right to bear arms. Influenced by a rhetoric-spewing radio host, he soon finds himself caught between following the status-quo or doing what's right – even if the "right" thing, isn't... Filmed on location in Mississippi. Simon begins a deadly descent into his own mind, trying to rectify the perceived wrongs and cleanse the injustice he starts to see in the world around him. Theo Rossi stars as Simon, featuring Ron Perlman as the radio host, along with Kate French, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Michael Sirow, Chris Mullinax. "Come With Me is both a film for now and a cautionary tale for the future." This isn't about our future anymore – it's about right now in America! Get a look below. // Continue Reading ›

Indie Sci-Fi Survival Film 'After Impact' Trailer Starring Michiel Rensen
"The world ended. The waiting didn't." Freestyle Digital Media has debuted their official trailer for an indie survival thriller film titled After Impact, made by filmmaker Michiel Rensen who also stars in the lead role. Another post-apocalyptic survival thriller that of course reminds me of Deep Impact, also featuring a similar title, as well as last year's Greenland 2: Migration. As society begins to unravel, Ethan grapples with personal betrayal, overwhelming loneliness, and the growing fear that survival may come at the cost of his humanity. Seeking refuge in his family's bunker, Ethan endures the harsh aftermath of the impact, wrestling with physical injury and emotional despair. When a faint voice crackles over his radio, Ethan discovers he is not as alone as he believed. Starring Michiel Rensen, Maxie Ouyang, Will Clague, Riki Antonievich, Lee-Ann Dirks. After Impact is a haunting sci-fi thriller about isolation, endurance, and the fragile hope that someone else is still out there. This looks solid for an indie creation made entirely by just a few people. // Continue Reading ›

Sound Off: 'Coyote vs. Acme' is Out in Theaters - What Did You Think?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? 💥 "These companies think they can do whatever they want. We're sick of it!" Fight the power! Playing in theaters worldwide is Coyote vs. Acme, the movie that Warner Bros was planning to delete & then never show anyone (still unbelievable?!), which was rescued by Ketchup Entertainment. After years in development, years of legal battles (how meta), and an extra year of final post-production & marketing prep, it's finally here for all of us to enjoy on the big screen. Is it totally worth the wait? Was everyone making a big stink about it right? How did this movie turn out? Directed by comedy filmmaker Dave Green, Coyote vs. Acme is the tale of what happens when Looney Tunes character Coyote decides to sue the Acme Corporation for selling him defunct & dangerous products to try to capture the Roadrunner. He hires small town billboard lawyer Kevin Avery, played by Will Forte, to confront the corporation and get them make better products. Just like Space Jam and Who Framed Roger Rabbit before it, Coyote vs. Acme is a clever live-action + cartoon hybrid movie combining cartoon antics interacting with real human beings. Made by Warner Bros Animation, the studio tried to shelve it indefinitely – until it was successfully rescued & revived. And now we get to experience it all of its glory. Your thoughts on the movie? // Continue Reading ›

Rob Riggle & Aaron Holliday in Grief Drama 'Nickels' Official Trailer
"Things are happening that I don't understand..." Briarcliff Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for a film titled Nickels, yet another new grief drama arriving to watch this fall. Nickels is directed by indie filmmaker Spencer King and is set for a US release in theaters this October. This is the first we've heard or seen anything about this – no festival premieres either. It's a heavy emotional film about a man named Tom who lost his brother while he was riding a motorcycle 35 years ago. Tom Monroe, a successful entrepreneur, is haunted by his brother's death in a motorcycle accident. Years later, a neighbor's son ends up in a bike crash, leading Tom to suspect his brother's spirit has returned. This trailer hints that it's about grief but also about the possibility of reincarnation and coincidences that might be something more. Starring Rob Riggle giving an unusually dramatic, emotional performance as Tom, with Aaron Holliday as his neighbor's son, Bitsie Tulloch, June Schreiner, Tom Arnold, & Odessa A'zion as his daughter. It's a tad saccharine, but also looks endearing with them trying to make sense of all the feelings they are all feeling. Worth a look. // Continue Reading ›

Must See Trailer for Sushi Chef Action Anime 'Get Jiro' on Adult Swim
"In the end, judgement comes for all of us." Adult Swim has unveiled their first official trailer for a new late-night adult animated series called Get Jiro, based on the graphic novels by Anthony Bourdain & Joel Rose. It's a full-on, hyper-violent action anime series in English featuring a stoic sushi chef master working in a brutal near-future Los Angeles, who is caught in the middle of some crazy restaurant war. His sushi joint is even located right in a classic LA strip mall ha. Of course this seems inspired by the real sushi maestro Jiro (seen in the doc Jiro Dreams of Sushi also a genuine legend). In a future LA controlled by elite chefs, a sushi master named Jiro gets embroiled in a vicious culinary conflict, seeking vengeance through his cooking skills amidst the cutthroat restaurant scene. Starring the voice of Brian Tee as Jiro, with Titus Welliver, Alison Pill, and Justin Kirk. Maybe it's a bit cheesy but this footage is legit cool and looks like the perfect stoner late night anime to watch right when the fresh order of sushi arrives. And don't forget: no soy sauce! // Continue Reading ›

Vertical has revealed the eerie teaser trailer for an indie horror film coming up titled Pendulum, arriving to watch right the start of 2027. A very early tease for this!

"Danger's imminent. I'm in pursuit." Quiver Distribution has revealed the trailer for Drive Through Fire, an action thriller being dumped out direct to VOD.

Starring Michael Jai White with Dan Bakkedahl, Jim Carlson, and Jennifer Bond. This looks like the worst kind of copaganda saving-trafficked-women fantasy thriller that is being remade every week.

This originally premiered at a few horror festivals last year under the name CognAItive, though they switched that for this final release.

Sacha Baron Cohen Returns in 'Ali G: Who Iz I?' Sequel Official Trailer
"For the first time ever, this is a film with real people. Not actors." Uh huh. Amazon MGM has unveiled the first official trailer for Ali G: Who Iz I?, an entirely unnecessary & unwanted sequel from comedian / actor Sacha Baron Cohen. He brings back the OG character that launched his career - Ali G, a "faux-streetwise poseur" from the UK who first appeared in 1998 and was the basis for his Da Ali G Show in the early 2000s (before he made Borat). He's ripping off his own concept from the Borat sequel, introducing a "girlfriend" character for this movie Ali G: Who Iz I? - played by Morgana Robinson. Hip-hop journalist Ali G returns after 20 years to make a documentary with real people. Cameras follow him for a year as he takes classes, walks the streets, and appears on shows, often with his very pregnant girlfriend. "Yo check out de trailer for me new movie, Ali G: Who Iz I? It got nuff sick tings, but u'll have to watch de hole film to find out if me hactually died makin it." The movie is hitting theaters directly in October, which is a bit odd for something that looks direct-to-streaming. He even rips off that giant jacket right from Talking Heads. The only thing that looks funny in this is the way he's making fun of the dumb celebrity reality series all over the place now. // Continue Reading ›

Jury Members Thriller 'Wildcards' Trailer with Leon & Courtney Grace
"We're not held to the same standard as people who don't look like us." Blacklight has debuted an official trailer for the movie Wildcards, a court room thriller made by Wes Miller. This is out in theaters soon and will be touring around the US with Q&As and more, to engage the audience in a conversation about the film. Contrasting jurors debate evidence intensely as deliberations unfold. An enigmatic Wildcard witness arrives, claiming truth about the night, sparking turmoil. Her ties to the accused raise questions of bias and justice. Shot in real time, every day, the piece follows the trial of Theodore Sterling, a privileged young man accused of sexually assaulting a young Black woman. The case takes a shocking turn with the arrival of a mysterious "wildcard" witness who claims to know the truth—threatening to upend the entire trial. This stars Leon, Elise Neal, Aries Spears, Stakiah Lynn Washington, Crew Morrow, Samantha Walkes, Robert Catrini, and Courtney Grace (the news anchor from the end of Disclosure Day).

Final Trailer for Netflix's 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' Grand Finale
"Beloved son, I count the days until your return." Netflix has revealed a final trailer for One Hundred Years of Solitude: Part Two, the second half & grand conclusion to this epic story from South America. This trailer is for THE Grand Finale episode wrapping up this epic story. In the timeless town of Macondo, 7 generations of the Buendía family navigate love, oblivion and their past, their fate. The book by Nobel Prize winning author Gabriel García Márquez is the story of the Buendía family, tormented by madness, love, war, and fear of a curse that condemns them to solitude for a 100 years in this town. The series launched in 2024 on Netflix, with Part Two playing out this year in the final installment bringing the story to its close after two full years. Major moments shape the outcome of the Buendías' family saga: the inexorable passage of time over Macondo, the arrival of progress and consequences (via a banana farm & railroad), the tensions among the family's younger generations, and the town's transformation—the splendor ends in an inevitable decline until the curse that has doomed the family from its very origins is fulfilled. The cast inlcudes Julián Román (José Arcadio Segundo and Aureliano Segundo), Jorge Quintero (José Arcadio Segundo and young Aureliano Segundo), Claudio Cataño (Aureliano Buendía), Marleyda Soto (Úrsula Iguarán), María Adelaida Puerta (Amaranta Buendía).

"A chance to reunite with his old friends..." Aero Films has revealed an official trailer for the intriguing lo-fi sci-fi indie film titled Terrestrial, made by filmmaker Steve Pink.

New Trailer for 4K Restoration of 'Kwaidan' - Quartet of Ghost Stories
"Even if you cry out, there's no one who can help you." Janus Films has unveiled their official trailer for a new 4K restoration of the Japanese horror classic Kwaidan, originally released in theaters worldwide way back in 1965. It played at the 1965 Cannes Film Festival and was also released in the US by Continental that same year. Kwaidan is a Japanese horror anthology film featuring four supernatural segments all directed by Masaki Kobayashi. This consists of four separate stories adapted from Lafcadio Hearn's collections of Japanese folktales, including two from his 1904 book Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, the film's namesake. Set mostly in feudal Japan, the stories feature vengeful spirits enforcing moral retribution, while portraying the supernatural realm as largely indifferent to human suffering. The film stars Tatsuya Nakadai, Tetsurō Tamba, Yoichi Hayashi, Katsuo Nakamura, Rentarō Mikuni, and Keiko Kishi; no actors appear in more than one segment. This new 4K re-release version is based on the original 3 hour cut, not the Cannes version that was a slightly shorter 161 minutes. This final version is 183 minutes in total. Reviews describe it as: "a rare, hermetic beauty, full of ethereal images and errant ideas that will haunt the mind." One of the most incredible horror films ever! A must watch on the big screen if it's playing near you. // Continue Reading ›
