Incredible New Footage in Star Wars: The Force Awakens Japanese Trailer

The very first shot in the Japanese version of the Stars Wars: Force Awakens trailer is one we've never seen, and it's a breathtaking measure of scale. There's Rey, standing in the desert of Jakku looking into one of the engines of a downed Starship, and she is a tiny, tiny thing. This version of the trailer offers more shots of BB-8 and a doozy of a new shot at the 37-second mark—a squadron of  TIE fighters fly towards us set against a huge setting sun,

Here’s the First Trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass

The first trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass is here, and it sets the stage nicely for what Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is up against—Time itself. That's Time with a capitol 'T,' played by Sacha Baron Cohen, who is central to the sequel's storyline and is part human, part clock. Time happens to be the Mad Hatter's father (the Hatter played by Johnny Depp, of course), and Alice will need to reason with him,

Ron Howard's In The Heart of the Sea comes out on December 11, which couldn't be soon enough for us.

Watch This New Girls Teaser and Get Excited About Season 5

The trials, tribulations and humiliations of Hannah Horvath (Lena Dunham) and her closest friends will continue in season five of Dunham's brilliant Girls. In 25 seconds, the new teaser packs a lot of funny into a small package—the package in this case being Hannah's body, as she dances 'as if no one's watching' in a class that includes at least one person she knows very well.

Girls returns for season five on February 21, and Dunham has said that the series will likely end after the sixth season.

What if Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer Was Voiced by Brooklynites?

Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, you now have an answer to this question. Kimmel was filming Jimmy Kimmel Live in Brooklyn all last week, and he decided to ask his local crew to record their voices over the actors in the Stars Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. The result? Hilarious. From the opening voiceover, "Hey what's up, how's everything?" playing over the masked face of Rey (Daisy Ridley),

Watch Daisy Ridley & BB-8 React to Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

We have been trying to take a breather from Star Wars: The Force Awakens tidbits considering the release of the final trailer and everything surrounding it (the pre-ticket sales, the IMAX screening locations, the new images) pretty much dominated last week. But then we saw BB-8 watching the trailer in bed and threw all that out the window.

Take a moment to think about how much film marketing has been changed by social media.

Trailer for Pride + Prejudice + Zombies, Oh My

“A woman must have a thorough knowledge of singing, dancing and the art of war.”

When you think of Jane Austen you think of the landed English gentry of the 19th century, women dancing in long Empire-waisted dresses gossiping and plotting, and English class. If we were to play a word association game what would you say if we said “Pride and Prejudice” – you might say Mr. Darcy, Laurence Olivier, Colin Firth,

Thoughts After Repeated Viewings of Final Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

Now that we’ve had nearly 12 hours to digest the 2:36 worth of new footage in the final Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, we can start to put some of the pieces together.

First, the trailer again, so you can go through it with us point-by-speculative-point:

Behold the New, Final Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer

At long last, the final Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer landed just moments ago during halftime of the Eagles/Giants Monday Night Football game, and like millions of people around the country, we were absolutely floored by it. It was always likely going to be a doozy, considering this was the trailer that J.J. Abrams had been holding for his final big reveal, and sources we trust who had gotten sneak peeks indicated as much.

Polite Society Meets the Undead in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Trailer

Opening with a tinkling piano and images of England’s landed gentry doing their thing (horseback riding, chastely dancing, etc.), Pride and Prejudice and Zombies appears perfectly pleasant, as if the title didn't include the last conjunction and noun and what you were actually watching was the opening title sequence to Downton Abbey. But the final conjunction and noun are the film's reason for existing, as this is mashup of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with horror’s hottest villains (sorry,

Raging Storm Sets Arlo on his Path in New The Good Dinosaur Trailer

The underlying conceit in The Good Dinosaur is that the asteroid that struck the earth and killed the dinosaurs missed, meaning dinosaurs and humans would walk the earth together. When the young Aapotosaurs Arlo (voiced by Raymond Ochoa) is separated from his father by a wicked storm, he’s united with a young human named Spot (voiced by Jack Bright), who quickly becomes his best friend.
