Superb Trailer #2 for James Gunn's 'Superman' with David Corenswet

Look up! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...? Warner Bros has revealed the second official trailer for James Gunn's new Superman movie – his fresh, modern update on the iconic "Man of Steel", the "Last Son of Krypton", from DC Comics. Formerly known as Superman: Legacy, it follows Supes as he reconciles his heritage with his human upbringing living in Kansas as Clark Kent. Written and directed by James Gunn, actor David Corenswet (from "We Own This City", "Lady in the Lake", Twisters) stars as Clark Kent / Superman this time around. The excellent ensemble cast includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, plus Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. This is the second real trailer but we've also featured the Fortress of Solitude sneak peek and the "Superman Day" making of promo - everything is looking more and more incredible the closer we get to its release this summer. I've got a good feeling about this movie. Yes it has some of Gunn's usual humor but it also looks like he understands the character in such a profound way. // Continue Reading ›

Festival Promo Trailer for Colombian Film 'A Poet' with Ubeimar Rios

"I'm a poet." "You're unemployed." LuxBox has revealed a festival promo trailer for the indie film titled Un Poeta, or A Poet in English, a Colombian film from filmmaker Simón Mesa Soto as his second feature. It's premiering at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival this month playing in the Un Certain Regards section - and I've been hearing good things already from my colleagues. This looks very funny. An aging poet named Oscar finds purpose mentoring Yurlady, a talented teen, though exposing her to the poetry scene might be unwise. His own poetic pursuits led nowhere, leaving him a stereotypical obscure writer. "Aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows." But that changes when he meets her. Starring Ubeimar Rios as Oscar, Rebeca Andrade as Yurlady, and Guillermo Cardona as Efrain. I can also say I'm a huge fan of the poet film Paterson, starring Adam Driver as quiet, unknown poet in a small town - it also premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. Even though these two films have some similarities, this one looks unique and funky in its own clever ways. I really want to watch it! Keep an eye out for it this year. // Continue Reading ›

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival Has Begun - Diving into New Cinema

The 78th Festival du Film de Cannes has officially begun. Everyone is back in the South of France this May for yet another cinema celebration in the sun on the Mediterranean coast. The next 12 days in Cannes are dedicated to discovery and art and storytelling as film lovers from around the world dive into screenings and conversations of all kinds. This is my 15th year attending and covering the Cannes Film Festival in France - to celebrate my 14th year last year I gave away 4 copies of Matt Singer's excellent book "Opposable Thumbs". While I'm not giving away more books for 2025, I am once again incredibly happy to be back, excited to dive into the films and anxiously awaiting each screening. However, something feels different in 2025. Something shifted in the world last fall, a perilous shift, and it seems to have disrupted the normal ebb & flow of things as everyone adjusts to the strange times we're living in. Nonetheless there are amazing films waiting for us, hopefully some films that challenge our prejudices and biases, and allow us to see the world anew again. The festival is off to a more quiet start, but the buzz will build up over the next two weeks. // Continue Reading ›

Final Trailer for John Wick Spin-Off 'Ballerina' - In Theaters This June

"And what, may I ask, is your name?" Got your tickets yet? Lionsgate has debuted a fourth official trailer for the Ballerina action movie, the next John Wick movie arriving in theaters worldwide this June. They're hoping it will be a big hit, just like the John Wick movies. But are you excited to watch it yet? We've featured three trailers for this - the best one is the third one from a few months ago. Ana de Armas stars as Eve, an assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma getting revenge hunting the murderers of her family. The same character was played by Unity Phelan in 2019's Chapter 3 – Parabellum though this takes place before Chapter 4. The main supporting cast includes Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, Keanu Reeves, Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus. And also featuring Lance Reddick before he passed away. I do hope this kick ass and most importantly I hope the action is awesome. But this does look like they're so desperately trying to tie it into John Wick and make sure Keanu is in it somewhere, even though it also seems like it wants to follow its own path with this Eve character. Will you be watching? // Continue Reading ›

First Look Teaser for 'Spider-Noir' B&W Series Staring Nicolas Cage

"Have you seen it out there? The city's a mess... the people could use a hero." Yes they could. How about a noir detective hero? Amazon MGM Studios has revealed a first look teaser trailer with 30 seconds of footage from the Spider-Noir series, a spin-off story inspired by the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse movies. Spider-Noir brings the Spider-Man Noir character into live-action, bringing Nicolas Cage (who also voiced the character in the animated movies) to the screen playing this version of Peter Parker. An aging and down on his luck private investigator in 1930s New York is forced to grapple with his past life as the city's one & only superhero. Executive producer Chris Miller also tweeted: "It's true. Spider-Noir is coming to Amazon Prime in 2026. Live-action, in black & white, set in the 1930s, and Nicolas Cage is a delight, as is the rest of the cast. The show is really special. Can't wait for you all to see." The full cast includes Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Li Jun Li (from Sinners!), Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, Karen Rodriguez. So far, so good! Not enough really amazing footage yet - but I've got a good feeling this'll be worth the wait. // Continue Reading ›

Watch: Hilarious 'Heroic Dose' Short - That One Time on Too Much LSD

"And then what happened?" "It was a moment of true liberation from the ego mind." Don't you want to find out more? Will you be forever changed by this story? Dive in and find out. Heroic Dose is a hilarious new comedy short film created and directed by a filmmaker known as Dugan Gundelfinger (not his real last name). This his "opus", an autobiographical tale of the time he tripped on way too much acid. "A genre bending comedic retelling of the time I had a psychedelic-induced mystical journey exploring the ego mind, 'reality' and the cosmic joke of the human experience..." During a dinner gathering discussing trying drugs, Gundelfinger tells his story of the time he was given a "heroic dose" LSD and went hard on psychedelics. It's not exactly meant to be a philosophical film (though I do like his idea about the "ahh" sound). But it might actually make a few people want to try this? Please be safe. The dinner cast includes Leighton Lovejoy, Jena Malone, Nick Rutherford, Rachael Leigh Cook, Demorge Brown, Max Baumgarten, and April Lee. This wacky short is only 13 mins long and will definitely have you laughing out loud many times. // Continue Reading ›
