https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rBnkBIhoFE Fair and balanced? Not so much. But definitely unafraid. Gauging by this first trailer for Bombshell (a.k.a. the Fox News exposé about how anchors Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly brought down Fox honcho Roger Ailes), subtle and thought-provoking it ain't. Sure, a movie need not be agnostic in its point of view, even when [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4NtWb4WX20 This looks exactly like the type of straight-to-streaming effort that Disney+ should be all about. Rather than investing hundreds of millions of dollars to "realistically" update animal-driven classics from the Disney vault on the level of The Lion King , the live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp employs the approach from a simpler time: [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0FRDaHnITI Well, that's one way to tell the world what's in store -- if you have over three hours, that is. Disney+ has posted a video equal to the run-time of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, a massive preview for every movie, TV series, and special that will be a part of [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEf412bSPLs When it was first announced that Robert Downey, Jr. would be starring in a remake of Doctor Dolittle, it seemed like a cheap move by a studio looking to milk easy money out of recycling an old classic for the second time (the previous remake being Eddie Murphy's late-90s modern update). Suffice it to [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydnzilTiBcY Humphrey Bogart sailed the African Queen, and now Dwayne Johnson is the Amazon King. Taking inspiration from that Hollywood classic, The Rock and Emily Blunt put a new spin on that Bogie/Hepburn clashing chemistry in Jungle Cruise, Disney's action-adventure adaptation of the famous theme park ride. Setting out to discover the magical powers of [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn5QmllRCn4 Is Pixar moving onward...or backward? In their first full official trailer for Onward (following a previous teaser), Pixar studios puts a lot of energy into a movie that appears to lack inspiration while also trying too hard. Coming off more like a DreamWorks or Illumination feature-length cartoon that panders to kids but ends up [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BABKOEZueCU Hablas español? No? Eh, no problemo. The latest trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate is cut for Latino audiences, but there's more than enough English along the way to get the gist if you're not bilingual. This new preview showcases action that we've not seen before, plus it establishes the relationship between Dani Ramos [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGM4uYZzfu0 With Joker about to open, DC's branding synergy is in full swing with the release of the first trailer for Birds Of Prey, the Suicide Squad spinoff starring Margot Robbie's villainess-turned-anti-hero Harley Quinn. Released under the full title Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Miss Harley Quinn, HQ swaps out the guys [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=75&v=vSKlICmmi98 Took 'em long enough. The first two trailers for Frozen II (here and here) set up an intriguing new adventure but, rather conspicuously, neither had one note or lyric of the new songs. Today, Disney finally assuaged that suspense by releasing a new movie teaser featuring Elsa's big "Let It Go"-style number "Into The Unknown" [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JLUn2DFW4w Jesse Pinkman is messed up. That reality is made abundantly clear right from the start of the official trailer for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The Netflix feature picks up where the AMC series finale left off. Apparently, though, any hopes of Aaron Paul's Jesse Pinkman riding toward a better future in his [...]
