https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=qGqiHJTsRkQ Rian Johnson did it, with the all-star cast in the movie theater. That's the reveal in this first trailer for Knives Out, Johnson's follow-up to Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The writer/director of such critically-acclaimed films as Looper and Brick has returned to his own new material, this time in a classicly-styled Agatha Christie-ish murder mystery [...]

Using the same title as the 1976 film about the same event, Midway uses the latest digital effects to depict the harrowing action of warfare in the decisive [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQkO0Shirl8 The latest James Bond film has seemingly been a mission impossible, but now the first sneak peak of it shows that while 007 may have been down, he's not out. The still untitled Bond 25 has been shaken and stirred by numerous setbacks and challenges, most recently an ankle injury suffered on-set by star [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP86-TR6IME Just when I think I may have over-gushed about the original Trolls in my 3 1/2 star review, this sequel trailer comes out in all of its vibrant glory and I stop questioning my initial instincts. Like the funtastic DreamWorks hit before it, Trolls World Tour boasts a level of visual splendor and detail [...]
It seemed odd that Pixar's one movie for 2020, titled Onward, would be released in the spring rather than the summer or holidays. Now we know why: It's not their only movie for 2020. In a surprise tweet, Pixar Animation Studios revealed a heretofore secret feature-length movie called Soul, one that will be released exactly [...]
Meet Louisa May Alcott's lady birds. In these debut photos (gallery below) and feature story from Vanity Fair, we have our first look at director Greta Gerwig's take on Little Women, one of the most beloved American novels of all time (and translated to the screen many times before).

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 [...]
