Something's coming, and now we have our first image of what it's going to look like. Steven Spielberg's long-gestating West Side Story remake is now in full swing. With filming set to take place this summer on the streets of Harlem, Disney-Fox has released the first image from the film's final stages of pre-production, showing [...]
I doubt this means that a teaser trailer is on the way, particularly given that we're still a full year out from the film's release, but the first one-sheet poster for Wonder Woman 1984 explodes with 80s era color-popping glitz. In fact, according to this tweet from returning director Patty Jenkins, we're at least six [...]

But for me, this is the one I'm ancticipating more. Ad Astra is a NASA-based sci-fi adventure that leans heavily into the philosophical, and it comes [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=144&v=zyYgDtY2AMY In a movie that likely would've been made by Michael Mann a generation ago, director James Mangold (Logan, Walk the Line) dramatizes the true story of how an American car designer and British racing star helped Ford to take on Ferrari in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. Starring Christian [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=104&v=x8DKg_fsacM Think of it as Lothlórien or Rivendell but with two-car garages and cul-de-sacs. In its latest movie -- which is an original, not a sequel -- Pixar has blended Middle Earth with our earth for the new fantasy adventure Onward. The film's first teaser trailer reveals only the basic premise, which is also nutshelled [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxPeVTIanzs&feature=youtu.be Terminators 3, 4, and 5 have probably left you weary (that is, if you've even seen them). James Cameron gets that. That's why he returned to produce the new entry, Terminator: Dark Fate. As producer, he helped to steer it creatively alongside diretor Tim Miller (Deadpool). Together, they've ignored the last three films to [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCyEX6u-Yhs Go with Sarah Connor if you want to live. The reluctant warrior to save humanity is finally back (played by Linda Hamilton, which is vital) in Terminator: Dark Fate. It's the sixth movie in the franchise but it will ignore the third, fourth, and fifth films entirely, serving as a direct sequel to Terminator [...]
** out of **** Rated PG (for some action, peril, and mysticism) Released: May 24, 2019 Runtime: 128 minutes Directed by: Guy Ritchie Starring: Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Will Smith, Marwan Kenzari, Nasim Pedrad, Navid Negahban, Billy Magnussen, Numan Acar This is a corporate-approved abomination. It’d be a disservice to the original animated Aladdin to [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUAUvx1_WDE The circle is now complete: Vanity Fair has published the first print scoop for a new Star Wars movie for the last and final time. (Well, for the Skywalker saga anyway). Per tradition, the iconic style-and-culture magazine was given exclusive first look access (with its writers and favorite photographer Annie Leibovitz) to the on-set shoot [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl9JS8-gnWQ A rescue mission to save a fellow toy that gets stranded away from the group. We've seen variations this Toy Story three times before, and we're in for it again in the last trailer for Toy Story 4. This fourth adventure may adhere strictly to the same proven formula, for better or worse, but [...]
