https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjwfqXTebIY Fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower have waited (I'm)patiently through numerous announced and failed permutations of adaptations (including an exapnsive multi-platform Movie/TV narrative by Ron Howard). When this single feature finally became a thing, its production schedule was shrouded in mystery, as was its release date. When it was finally announced that it [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB4I68XVPzQ The long wait is finally over. Here is the first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The Force is with it, but Luke Skywalker is in a very dark place. The Last Jedi opens on December 16, 2017. You can watch the full Last Jedi panel at Star Wars Celebration by clicking here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFeWsDpy9y0 The Academy Award-winning writer/director team behind The Hurt Locker (and then Zero Dark Thirty) are back with a dramatization of the Civil Rights era riot that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967. Director Kathryn Bigelow (the only female to ever win the Best Director Oscar) and writer Mark Boal tackle intense subject matter yet again, but this [...]
Three weeks away. Three new spots. And a new gallery of images. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 - and its release date of May 5, 2017 - is almost here. It's Showtime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LWEYReXjQs The Hits Keep Coming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTrLaWIcdAs Guardian Crew https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSXAOywn_rE Click on any picture for larger image gallery
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzorZUuZqEI Universal's Monsterverse is coming, and the latest trailer for The Mummy - the first entry in this prospective franchise - shows that the studio isn't going to chinse on bringing as many scares as they can in what will still likely be a PG-13 affair. Tom Cruise headlines, bringing his thrill-seeking style to a reportedly spectacular [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nd60i3ZnLOE If the old school poster is any indication (see below), Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow is hoping his new indie feature The Book of Henry evokes kid-centric Amblin adventures from a generation ago (E.T., The Goonies, etc.), with a few dashes of twee for good measure. If the first trailer is any indication, he's not going to equal his ambition. [...]
Okay, this Spider-Man is a teenager. The first one sheet poster for Spider-Man: Homecoming has been unveiled (below), and it's decidedly different from the previous action-centric posters of past Spider-Man movies, ones that also suggested a darker, edgier tone. Not this one. Looking more like something straight out of an actual Spider-Man comic, the young webslinger (played by Tom Holland) [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_xlMWImhxk A perfect marriage of material and studio, the silly antics of the popular kids book series "Captain Underpants" fits DreamWorks Animation's cartoonish brand like a snug pair of boxer briefs. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie - starring the voices of Kevin Hart, Ed Helms, Jordan Peele, Kristen Schaal, Thomas Middleditch, and Nick Kroll as the evil Professor Poopypants - flies into multiplexes this summer right after school's out: June 2, [...]
Dead men may tell no tales, but a picture's worth a thousand words, right? Glean what you can from this new batch of hi-res images released by Disney for this summer's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth film in the franchise. The highlight may be the young Jack Sparrow (aka Johnny Depp), yet another [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNCz4mQzfEI You were hoping it'd be that first Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer in front of corporate cousin's Beauty and the Beast this weekend, but you'll still have to wait. Instead, it appears to be the first look at Pixar's second feature of 2017 (following this summer's Cars 3), called Coco. Directed by Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 3), Coco looks to be a story set in [...]
