“The Harder They Fall” Trailer Reveals First Look at Star-Studded Western
The first trailer for writer/director Jeymes Samuel’s The Harder They Fall has arrived, revealing a star-studded Western that pits two rival crews facing off in an epic High Noon-level showdown. The action in The Harder They Fall is set into motion when Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is sprung from prison. This doesn’t sit well with Nat Love (Jonathan Majors), who has a long-standing grudge against Rufus that he wears on his face every day in the form of a cross dug into his forehead with a knife...
“Don’t Look Up” Images Reveal Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence & More in Adam McKay’s Next Film
If the end of the world is nigh, there are few better filmmakers to spend your final hours with than writer/director Adam McKay. The man whose The Big Short unpuzzled the puzzling, devastating schemes that led to the 2008 financial crisis and whose Veep gave us a front-row seat to the rise-and-retire-in-wealth-despite-starting-an-unjust-war career of Dick Cheney has now set his sights on the cosmos. Don’t Look Up takes aim at our unwillingness, as a society,...
New “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” Clip Reveals New Villain Shriek
Talk about a noise violation.
While the human host/alien symbiote combatants of Eddie Brock/Venom (Tom Hardy) and Cletus Kasady/Carnage (Woody Harrelson) are the main event in Venom: Let There Be Carnage, they’re not the only heavies in town. A new clip from director Andy Serkis’s upcoming sequel reveals Naomie Harris’s Frances Barrison, who also goes by Shriek. True to her name, Shriek’s weapon is sound. She’s able to suck all the sound out of a given space and weaponize it...
New “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” Clip Unleashes the Beast
A new Venom: Let There Be Carnage clip reveals the moment Woody Harrelson’s deranged Cletus Kasady becomes Carnage. It’s a nifty, nasty little scene, revealing that Kasady was moments from being put to death in prison via lethal injection when, instead, he was given a new lease on life. Granted, he’s sharing that new lease on life an alien symbiote Carnage and, well, all hell breaks loose the moment he transforms.
We’re now but a few days away from Venom: Let There Be Carnage‘s premiere date,...
“Super Mario Bros.” Animated Film Will Star Chris Pratt as Mario & Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach
It’s official—Chris Pratt will be voicing Mario in Nintendo’s upcoming Super Mario Bros. animated feature Mario. The announcement was made during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, with Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto giving an update on the long-gestating film. Mario will be created by animation studio Illumination, the same folks who brought you Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets, and Sing.
There’s a whole slew of talented performers joining Pratt in the voice cast—Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach,...
Ticket Pre-Sales For “No Time To Die” Appear Biggest Since “Avengers: Endgame” in U.K.
It should come as no surprise that the love for James Bond in the U.K. is deep. Yet after a year and a half of the pandemic, it’s a happy jolt to hear that the pre-ticket sales for the 25th installment in the Bond franchise, No Time To Die, appear to be massive. Advance tickets for Daniel Craig’s final mission as James Bond went on sale in the U.K. on September 13, and The Hollywood Reporter notes that cinema owners have reported “a nearly unprecedented level of demand.”...
Meet “The Many Saints of Newark” Cast in This Long-Awaited “Sopranos” Prequel
It’s not hyperbole to suggest that David Chase’s mesmerizing HBO juggernaut The Sopranos is one of the best shows in television history, and the late James Gandolfini’s turn as Tony Soprano one of the best performances in TV history, too. So it’s not surprising, then, after creating something so mesmerizing and influential that Chase promised himself and others he was “never” going to make a Sopranos movie. Yet, nothing if not aware of the importance of leaving himself an out,...
Get Ready For More Nebula in Upcoming Marvel Movies
Karen Gillan’s portrayal of Nebula, the blue-tinted cyborg has always been interesting, but now it seems her time has really come. Nebula is arguably one of the most tortured (literally) of all MCU characters, and her character arc has been expansive considering she’s been really bad and, as of late, really good. As Gamora (Zoe Saldana)’s sister and the less-favored daughter of Thanos, Nebula was literally tortured into being. She wasn’t always a cyborg—she was made one by Thanos, piece by piece,...
Netflix Reveals Teaser for Secret Britney Spears Doc
It has long been whispered that Netflix was working on a Britney Spears doc—yesterday, the streaming giant revealed the first teaser for Britney vs Spears, letting the world know the doc is very real. The full trailer, in fact, will be released today.
The 18-second teaser is a voicemail that Spears left to a lawyer at 12:29 a.m. on January 21, 2009. Although it might sound like a minor piece of the puzzle, what she says has large implications...
“The Tragedy of Macbeth” Teaser Reveals Denzel Washington as Shakespeare’s Murderous Scotsman
It’s hard to overstate just how awesome this movie looks. The teaser for writer/director Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth reveals a sumptuous black-and-white palette and none other than Denzel Washington playing one of Shakespeare’s most legendary creations, the ambitious Scottish general who plots the murder of King Duncan (with a little help from some prophesizing witches and a very cunning Lady Macbeth) in order to take the throne for himself. “Macbeth” might be one of the most alluring Shakespeare’s plays for filmmakers due to its relatively straightforward narrative dealing with political ambition and the psychological breakdown that awaits those who seek power for its own sake and at all costs...
Justin Lin Says “Fast & Furious” Saga Will End With One Chapter in Two Movies
It will be a very fitting coda for the Fast franchise that the most seasoned director in this pedal-to-the-metal universe, Justin Lin, will be seeing it through the finish line. Speaking with Collider, Lin said that right now, he thinks the franchise should end with one massive chapter told in two final films. That would likely mean shooting Fast 10 and 11 back-to-back, a massive undertaking and logistical challenge considering how long the cast and crew need to be available (this was the method used by Marvel for Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame)...
New “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” Teaser Highlights Worst Roommate in the World
A new Venom: Let There Be Carnage teaser pokes fun at the expense of everyone’s favorite alien symbiote and his human host, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy). The spot is like a far messier and more dangerous version of those old videos of Thor (Chris Hemsworth) moving to Australia and rooming with a guy named Darryl. Our current roommate situation is between the San Francisco 49ers star tight end George Kittle and Eddie Brock, although this new spot uses some footage we’ve seen from the trailers of Venom absolutely trashing Eddie’s apartment,...
The Future of Immersive VFX Arrives With Dark Bay at Studio Babelsberg
The future of visual effects may be moving from post-production and right onto the set. At Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam, Germany, a new stage recently started helping filmmakers make the switch. The 109-year-old studio complex’s new Dark Bay Visual Production Studio is an LED-enabled stage that allows VFX to become part of production while shooting is still underway. And details are mostly under wraps at this point, but the first production to make its home in the new studio is Netflix’s 1899,...
The Final Trailer for “Halloween Kills” is a Grisly Thrill Ride
Yikes. The final trailer for Halloween Kills is practically NSFW. Universal has unveiled (practically unmasked) this riveting, bloody romp less than a month before the film’s appropriately Halloween-timed release, and it’s truly a doozy. David Gordon Green’s follow-up to his sensational 2018 Halloween sequel of John Carpenter’s iconic 1978 original looks even nastier, bloodier, and scarier. Michael Myers, specifically, seems even more hellbent (if that’s even possible) to obliterate everyone standing between him and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis)...
First “Finch” Trailer Reveals Tom Hanks & His Two Best Friends in Apple’s Original Sci-Fi Film
If you’re going to maroon any actor in a bleak future with no co-stars to play off save an android and a dog, you are not going to do better than Tom Hanks. Now Apple TV has revealed the first trailer for Finch, the upcoming sci-fi film from Game of Thrones director Miguel Sapochnik, based on an original script from Craig Luck and Ivor Powell. Hanks plays the titular Finch, a survivor of a catastrophic “solar event”...
Listen to an Epic Snippet of “The Batman” Score
Batman Day has brought us some fresh new insights into writer/director Matt Reeves’s upcoming The Batman. The first was a photo that Reeves’ revealed via Twitter, showing off Robert Pattinson in full cape and cowl. The second is a treat for the ears—composer Michael Giacchino has given us a 28-second clip of the score, which immediately plunges us into the brooding headspace one wants when imagining the world of the broodiest superhero of them all...
New “The Matrix Resurrections” & “Dune” Footage Revealed During Emmys
If you want to tease the fact that your premium streaming service has two of the biggest movies of the year coming soon, doing so during the Emmys Telecast is the way to go. Such was the case last night when HBO Max revealed a new trailer teasing their upcoming shows and films.
The new trailer highlights returning series like Insecure, Succession, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. It teases new series like The Sex Lives of College Girls, ...
New “The Batman” Photo Teases Upcoming Trailer
Care for a little glimpse of The Batman to start your week? While we will be getting a proper The Batman trailer on October 16 when the second DC FanDome event arrives, writer/director Matt Reeves has seen fit to offer us a little appetizer. Reeves popped his head up from the editing bay where he’s well into post-production on the film to say hi, share a photo, and wish all of us a happy Batman Day...
“The Humans” Trailer Reveals Stephen Karam’s Mysterious Family Drama
Playwright Stephen Karam’s The Humans has made the leap from Broadway to the big screen, with Karam himself adapting and directing his material. And what material it is—The Humans was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize (it won the Tony Award for Best Play that same year), and now A24 has revealed the first trailer for Karam’s film version. Folks, this looks like a must-see film.
The Humans is centered on the Blake family,...
First “Nightmare Alley” Trailer Reveals Bradley Cooper & Cate Blanchett in Guillermo del Toro’s Horror
One of our most reliably inventive filmmakers, Guillermo del Toro, has assembled an insanely talented cast for his latest film, Nightmare Alley, and at long last, we have our first look. Searchlight Pictures has revealed the first teaser trailer for the film, which stars Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett as a pair of mischievous souls who seem well on the path to that titular nightmare. Cooper plays Stan Carlisle, a gifted carny who can manipulate people with nothing more than a few perfectly chosen words...
