https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08AExF6dETA There's a lot going on in Trolls World Tour, but its latest trailer (above) does a great job at simplifying it. The sequel to the breakout pop-music-fueled hit Trolls expands the world by expanding its genres. Poppy and Branch (voices of Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake) discover that there are six different Troll tribes, [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyzxu26-Wqk Tom Hanks is back in World War II, but this time he'll be fighting by sea rather than land. 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. (See gallery [...]
(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 [...]
Well that's...a suit. Seemingly unauthorized, photos of the full new Batsuit and Batcycle from director Matt Reeves' forthcoming The Batman appeared online. (See gallery below.) This follows an official tease of the batsuit from Reeves, as worn by star Robert Pattinson, in a camera test video that Reeves posted online. It's set to a music [...]
https://vimeo.com/391277390 The new Batsuit is here, and it's...sorta kinda basically what you'd expect. Landing somewhere between Christian Bale's and Ben Affleck's costumes, writer / director Matt Reeves is sticking with the black-and-gray motif for Robert Pattinson's cape and cowl in the upcoming The Batman. Clearly an engineered suit of armor, it appears to be a [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoJc2tH3WBw&t=0s Now this is my kind of medieval fantasy. Based on a bit of lesser known lore within the King Arthur legend (and completely new to me), The Green Knight is a fascinating-bordering-on-bonkers art house indie approach to the Tolkien-styled epics ala Lord of the Rings and the legion of copies it has inspired (Game [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcPk2p0Zaw4 There is our world, and then there's Wes Anderson's. The latest opportunity for us to travel from ours to his comes this summer with The French Dispatch, the 10th feature film from this generation's most distinct cinematic artisan. Once again assembling an eclectic cast (and quite possibly his largest) -- an ensemble that includes [...]
