https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=92&v=Do2QZsh-EVo What mind has read and ear has heard, the eye will finally see. That's the promise author J.K. Rowling sets in this 90-second promo tease for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second prequel-sequel in this early 20th Century-set saga from the popular Potterverse (which began with 2016's Fantastic Beasts and Where To [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g5knnlF7Zo This whole world doesn't look all that new. The first teaser for Disney's live action remake of Aladdin just dropped and...it's mostly animated?! It's pretty lame, really, what passes for "live action" today in our digitally-overloaded blockbusters. In this first look, the only thing that looks real is the brief glimpse of Aladdin himself, [...]
Tom Cruise is satisfying his need for speed once again. Photos from the set of Top Gun: Maverick -- the long-awaited sequel, now filming -- have popped up online. It's a series of snapshots with Cruise riding around as Maverick on a motorbike (Mav's preferred land-bound wheels of choice). These unofficial pics will have to tied [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=162&v=Q7ztHi9ejp4 Gaga is far from the shallow now, and Glass is about to be out of the shadows. In the latest trailer for Glass, the final film in the Unbreakable trilogy that we never knew we'd get until that cool twist at the end of 2016's Split, Mr. Glass and The Beast are unleashed.
