Now the story of a rebellion's battle against an evil empire, and the one who could bring balance to the Force. Ever since Ron Howard was announced as the new director of the untitled Young Han Solo movie, the social medias have had fun imagining the Star Wars saga told through the comedic filter [...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue80QwXMRHg Marvel fans are going to be geeked, there's no question about it. Even fair weather fans may be excited to, er, toke up to Thor: Ragnarok, if this latest trailer is any indication. In style, tone, and humor, the third Thor feature goes full on Guardians in an unabashed act of internal Marvel appropriation (I [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_6yBZKj-eo Hate on Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman all you want (I dug it), but this latest extended trailer for his Justice League looks pretty stinkin' awesome. Sure, Snyder footage always cuts a better promo than movie, but the new scenes that Warner Bros. revealed in this 4-minute Comic-Con preview (kicked off by new pop culture [...]
https://youtu.be/znavw4akfoY I'm ready for Ready Player One. Hot off its debut at the film's Comic-Con panel, the first trailer for Steven Spielberg's VR future saturated with 80s pop culture is as stunning as you'd hope. An adaptation of the YA novel phenomenon by Ernest Cline, Spielberg unleashes a dystopian vision that looks and feels like [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EZCBSsBxko The director of Suicide Squad has reteamed with Will Smith for Bright, Netflix's first big budget blockbuster - and it looks as cheesy as their DC villain flick flop. Writer/Director David Ayer has conceived a "Training Day meets Lord of the Rings" real world cop drama crossed with sci-fi fantasy, exploring themes of bigotry [...]

Wonderstruck, based on the best-selling novel by ambitious YA author Brian Selznick (The Invention of Hugo Cabret), is the first PG-rated movie of Haynes career, one that has thus far been marked by adult-themed dramas such [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFYWazblaUA Guillermo del Toro at his best? That's certainly the hope this first trailer for The Shape of Water conjures. Going back to Dramatic Period Fable territory (akin to the WWII set Pan's Labyrinth, del Toro's current masterpiece), The Shape of Water is a "creature feature" movie set in the 1960s Cold War era, playing [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZOaI_Fn5o4 With each new look at Blade Runner 2049, my expectations for this sequel 35 years in the making keep getting higher. Along with more stunning futuristic cityscapes, both advanced and abandoned, the coolest sneak peaks this second trailer provides are the clips of Dave Bautista being a deadly serious polar opposite of Drax from [...]
The new director for the untitled Young Han Solo Movie is bringing back as much balance to fans on social media as he is to the set of the troubled film shoot. Through both his Twitter and Instagram accounts, director Ron Howard has been regularly posting images from the set of the latest Star Wars [...]
