https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=wmiIUN-7qhE New toy gets lost from home, rescue adventure ensues, old loyal toys become tempted by a life beyond the toybox, only to realize that one's purpose is to bring joy to a child. Well this feels familiar, doesn't it. That's because you've seen Toy Story 2. While not ripping off that movie wholesale, Toy [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=WAfJpyBgcgA Now this is how you put yourself on the map. Kansas City filmmaker Morgan Cooper just released a fan-made trailer called Bel-Air, a modern, slick-yet-gritty dramatic re-imagining of the 1990s Will Smith sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And that's all it is -- a fan-trailer -- meaning that it's not promoting an actual [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=TcMBFSGVi1c New trailer. Half of it's stuff we've seen before (from going down memory lane to rehashing the end of the last movie). The rest is generic assembling but in some slick new Quantum Realm unis. Plus a Captain Marvel cameo, tagged with a bland one-liner from Thor that's pulled from the cliché pile. We got [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=134&v=foyufD52aog If this first official trailer is any indication, Disney's been taking rigorous notes following the negative internet backlash to the first two Aladdin sneak peaks. After a debut teaser of mostly digital animation, then a TV spot that had an awkwardly rendered Will Smith as the blue Genie, online reactions were not kind, ranging from complaints [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxefiCjQirw The Devil Hosts Late Night. That's basically the concept here for Late Night, the new feature film from writer / actress comedienne Mindy Kaling. The sitcom multi-hyphenate star is making the jump from the small screen to big with this Sundance Film Festival breakout hit that Amazon bought for a hefty $13 million, just [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ1vn85iQRE Nothing like bragging about the new nerd language you invented to woo your lady fair. Such is the swagger of J.R.R. Tolkien in the opening moments of the new trailer for Tolkien, the upcoming biopic about the legendary author's young life. Nicholas Hoult plays the writer in a movie that will focus on his [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf6O1aYoj0k Honest to God, every new trailer or preview for Disney's live-action Dumbo is even better than the last. This latest 2-minute behind-the-scenes promo is no different. The remake from Tim Burton has definitely become my most anticipated "Disney vault redux" for 2019 (yes, more than Aladdin or The Lion King). Thankfully we'll get it [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=67&v=Y5I4TA0yhr4 It's the latest trailer for...Captain Sparkle Fingers? This looks so much fun, not simply because it's funny but because it really seems like it has such a confident self-awareness of what it wants to be. Shazam! opens on April 5, 2019.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=110&v=3uxOvXM7eBc It's the trailer you've seen before, but more of it. Marvel's "new" trailer release of Avengers: Endgame is simply a side-by-side of the first one (which is framed in the standard aspect ratio that you'll see in regular movie theaters) with an IMAX-enhanced version to its right. It certainly does an effective job of how [...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=146&v=1-q8C_c-nlM Jean Grey and the Disorder of the Phoenix. That Potter paraphrase is basically what we're in for with Dark Phoenix, the latest chapter in the X-Men franchise. The new film -- which underwent a reshoot overhaul and saw its release delayed for over a year -- takes a turn to focus squarely on Jean [...]
