Grab your hankies. Yes, that'll be your heart pounding. It's the first full look at Belle and her Beast in live action, and it just keeps getting better and better. After watching, everybody's gonna be all, "Can this and Moana trade places so we can have this for Thanksgiving?!" But no, we'll just have to wait. The live [...]
Luc Besson is definitely in his element. With a bold focus on eye-popping visuals over hints about the narrative, this first teaser for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is a true big-budget sci-fi spectacle of the first order. From the visionary director of The Fifth Element, this extravaganza should fit very well into the [...]
Take the existential loneliness of Bruce Wayne and flip it for laughs. With Will Arnett providing the voice, that sounds like a perfect way to go at this thing. It certainly looks that way, too, in this hilarious new trailer for The LEGO® Batman Movie, the spin-off of the highly successful The LEGO® Movie. Here's the official [...]

After the intense backlash toward Batman v Superman's excessively dark and dire superhero throwdown, the new trailer for Wonder Woman gives hope for a post-Zack Snyder driven DC Extended Universe.

Definitely playing to the female demographic, 20th Century Women is about a mid-50s single mother [...]
At long last, M. Night Shyamalan may be finally back to his early career peak. Trailers can be deceptive, but if this second look at Split is any indication, it'll rank right up there with Shyamalan's best: The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs. Like the first trailer, this one is very unsettling given the predatory [...]
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk may be two-time Oscar-winng director Ang Lee's big revolutionary game changer...in style and form, at least, if not actual narrative. Based on the popular novel of the same name about a U.S. soldier returning from the horrors of war, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk is the first movie to be [...]
More new TV commercials are where you'll find fantastic beasts.
