Another Badass Trailer for Animated 'Predator: Killer of Killers' Movie

"There's only one way to kill it... we must fight together!" 20th Century has unveiled a second trailer for the animated movie Predator: Killer of Killers, an anthology feature made by filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg. The first of two new Predator movies made by Trachtenberg following Prey from 2022 (which I still think should've been released in theaters). Predator: Killer of Killers is an animated anthology feature containing three stories that will be released streaming on Hulu in June this summer. His next live-action feature is called Predator: Badlands, and it's currently set to hit theaters on November 7th this fall. It looks like it will kick ass as much as this, too. The hunt begins. Three legendary warriors – a Viking mother seeking vengeance, a ninja fighting his samurai brother, and a WWII pilot facing cosmic horrors – become prey to an unstoppable hunter of killers. "Most characters are dealing with generational [issues], trying to break a cycle. All the chapters are different genre-wise," Dan explains. The voice cast features Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn. The other trailer was already awesome, this is even better. Totally sold on all this footage and these three storylines - cannot wait to dive into these next month. // Continue Reading ›

Yep it's based on the beloved children's book of the same name also written by Jason & Allison Flom, who have turned this joyful story into a full-on musical. Sure it's meant for kids, but it also looks super fun and wholesome and entertaining, a lot like the iconic "Bluey" series on D+. Lulu (a cute little bulldog) is a rhinoceros – that's who she sees when she looks in the mirror. On a quest to spread kindness, this family musical follows fun-loving Lulu as she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, powered by new friends, courage, and many catchy songs.

Cannes 2025: Linklater's 'Nouvelle Vague' is a Zany Tribute to Godard

Linklater you mad genius! The Austin, TX-based filmmaker is back at a second film festival this year with his other movie in 2025. Richard Linklater's Blue Moon premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival earlier in the year, and his next film Nouvelle Vague just premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Nouvelle Vague is Linklater's very first film shot entirely in French - because it's a spunky tribute to the iconic French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, who passed away in 2022 at 91 years old. Nouvelle Vague, which translates simply to New Wave in English, is about the French New Wave of the 1960s. Specifically about the making of Godard's first full-length film titled Breathless (or À bout de souffle in French). While making it they had no idea if it would be any good, but the film went on to debut at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and then influence cinema forever as the defining French New Wave film at the time. This is Linklater's meta tribute to Breathless by recreating the making of Godard's film with the exact same artsy B&W style as the original. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2025: Christian Petzold's Latest Film 'Miroirs No. 3' is a Balm

In this angry world we live in today, with so many troubles and so much death and so much worry all around us, sometimes we need some peace and calm instead of rage to help us heal. But it's not easy to provide this kind of peace when there is so much raging going on. Way too many films nowadays feel the need to address the problems with the world by simply showing us the problems and using cinema to express some kind of anger. As if just showing us what is wrong will help us solve what is wrong – it rarely ever does. However, we really do need a bit of peace and calm these days, some soothing quieter moments to allow us to take a breath and become whole again. Miroirs No. 3, which is also simply titled Mirrors No. 3 in English, is the 11th feature film made by prolific German filmmaker Christian Petzold (also the director of Barbara, Phoenix, Transit, Undine, Afire). And it's just delightful – one of my favorite Petzold films already. Not at all what I was expecting, and that's a good thing, because I'm glad to discover it's such a charming & healing work of cinema. For 86 minutes we can get a bit of relief in Petzold's journey out to the German countryside. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2025: Harris Dickinson's Film 'Urchin' is an Impressive Debut

Stuck sleeping on the street, with no one to turn to for help, nowhere to go... How can you pull yourself back together in this situation? How does one get out of this rut? The next actor trying their hand at directing is the very talented British youngster Harris Dickinson (of Triangle of Sadness, The Iron Claw, Babygirl, Scrapper, Blitz). His feature directorial debut is a movie titled Urchin, premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section. This film is also playing alongside Kristen Stewart's directorial debut titled The Chronology of Water – and between these two projects, it is Dickinson's film and choices and vision that really stand out. Both written & directed by Dickinson, Urchin follows the compelling story of a homeless man named Mike – a rough sleeper in London, trapped in a cycle of self-destruction as he attempts to turn his life around. Not only is the direction confident and the vision for this story clear, it's a damn good film featuring some clever creative choices. Delighted to report it's one of the year's best debuts. // Continue Reading ›

Cannes 2025: Lesbian Moms Film 'Love Letters' is Moving & Delightful

Our modern world is full of beautiful relationships & romances of all shapes, sizes, colors, connections. This is something we should be celebrating and appreciating – diversity is vitally important and invigorating and meaningful. Alas, there are still people who do not understand that humanity as evolved beyond the simple concept of relationships being between a man & woman. As a lover of cinema, I'm so grateful this art form can tell stories that stir the soul, and show us how beautiful the world really is when we respect and admire and appreciate other relationships. Love Letters is the latest film written & directed by French filmmaker Alice Douard – premiering in the Critics Week sidebar at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. It's undoubtedly one of the best films of the festival, one of my favorites and a film that I believe will connect with audiences all over the world after its initial unveiling in France. Love Letters is a lively, upbeat, emotionally honest, delightful, touching story about a lesbian couple expecting their first baby. "Céline, 32, is expecting her first child. But Céline is not pregnant... In 3 months, it is Nadia, her wife, who will give birth to their daughter." // Continue Reading ›

Teaser Trailer for Linklater's 'Nouvelle Vague' About Making 'Breathless'

"He films me with a camera hidden in a mail cart." ARP Sélection has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague, his next new feature film premiering this year. Earlier in 2025 at the Berlin Film Festival, Richard Linklater also premiered his first 2025 film titled Blue Moon with Ethan Hawke. After making Hit Man, he also went over to France and filmed Nouvelle Vague, a B&W film shot entirely in French about the making of Jean-Luc Godard's iconic 1960 movie Breathless – it's Linklater's very first film in French. And of course it's premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival now – the premiere is tonight. This is the story of Godard making Breathless, told in the same style & spirit in which Godard made Breathless 65 years ago. In order to keep with the spirit of the French New Wave, the young French actors are all newcomers. For example, while he plays the key part of Jean-Luc Godard, it's the first feature film of Guillaume Marbeck. The cast also includes Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, Aubry Dullin as Jean-Paul Belmondo, Paolo Luka Noé, Alix Bénézech, and Jade Phan-Gia. Oh yes, this should be good fun. // Continue Reading ›
