Inspired by actual events, and based on the novel "The Good Shepherd" by C. S. Forester (The African Queen), Greyhound follows the perilous journey of an Allied convoy of naval ships as they are pursued [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHNOXDiD9Vk "Magic is on our side." The first trailer for the latest adaptation of The Secret Garden lives up to that promise. The beloved novel from 1911 has been adapted before (most notably in 1993), and is now updated to a 1947 setting with flourishes of VFX magic not present in the original story. The [...]
Now I'm intrigued. After an unofficial leak of images revealed the full Batsuit and Batcycle in the upcoming The Batman (starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader), director Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. took back control of marketing quality control and debuted the first images of the new Batmobile in an official three-pic tweet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LnPZo_M030 Crouching Tiger, Hidden Mulan. The latest behind-the-scenes featurette for Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Mulan is a spectacle unto itself (watch above), revealing just how epic in scale, scope, and action this is going to be. It's so impressive, in fact, that one wonders if director Niki Caro would get even more praise and [...]
(Watch on Amazon Prime) We've reached that point in movie history where, in the 2020s, we're about to hit the first consistent string of major 100th Anniversaries. That starts with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which was released in Germany on February 26, 1920. Prior to that year, Silent Film was largely driven by short [...]
The bullwhip has officially been passed. In an unexpected blindside, Steven Spielberg has decided to bow out from directing Indiana Jones 5. Variety reports that his likely successor will be James Mangold (Ford V Ferrari, Logan); negotiations are currently underway. Harrison Ford remains attached to star, and Spielberg will stay on as a producer. The [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4aSE4FhbG4 This is it for Daniel Craig. That's hardly a secret, mind you, but in this latest featurette for No Time To Die, director Cary Joji Fukunaga makes that reality plain by reflecting on how Craig's exit has impacted the whole approach to this 25th installment in the James Bond franchise. As he does, we're [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYni0VNwaCE The Abbott family can run and they can hide...but not for long. "Fight" is the latest 60-second TV Spot for A Quiet Place Part II; it's the creature-feature apocalypse sequel that stars Emily Blunt as the single mom of two teens and a newborn. In one minute (watch above), it basically teases everything you [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z6PqQEk2qk There's a bit of irony in the title of the new TV Spot for Disney's upcoming Mulan, an action-packed 60-seconds that is anything but "Tranquil" (that's what the studio labeled the spot). It's the first promo to reveal the film's PG-13 rating, and that's a first for any of Disney's animated-to-live action reboot adaptations; [...]
