Complete with the promised Vader tease. Though dubbed the first full official trailer, this latest look at Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the same length as the teaser that debuted in the spring. The first stand alone anthology episode in the Star Wars saga opens on December 17, 2016.

When I'm worn out by the endless rounds of comic book and reboot tentpoles, it's original (and serious) high concept sci-fi like this that gives me a fresh jolt of hope. In the first 60-second tease for Paramount's Arrival, starring Amy Adams, we see this official premise set up: When mysterious spacecraft touch down across the globe, an [...]

As each new clip of Moana is revealed, Disney's renaissance promises to continue. In the current tradition of Frozen and Tangled, Moana appears to recapture that 1990s musical golden age of Disney but for the modern 3D animation age (and could join the success of non-musical hits like Zootopia and Wreck-It Ralph as well). Songs co-written by Hamilton creator and [...]

Despite the operatic scale that Christopher Nolan's films are known for (the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar), this first teaser for his upcoming Dunkirk is about as mild as it gets. At least in how much it reveals. The tone it sets, however, portends a movie that goes for the jugular. Just a minute long, this first look [...]

Debuting on movie screens in front of the latest Jason Bourne installment this weekend is the first trailer for the new action spectacle from Chinese auteur Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers) and Bourne star Matt Damon. Sort of a Spielberg of the Far East, Yimou is admired by critics and audiences alike. His latest film The [...]

Good Will Sniping? Puns like those (this wasn't my first) are likely to surround the upcoming thriller starring Ben Affleck called The Accountant. Following a teaser this past spring, the film's first full trailer has now debuted (see below). Affleck plays Christian Wolff, a math savant (with Asperger-like traits) who works as a financial manager for clients [...]

This is going to be one of the more interesting box office experiments we've seen in awhile. (You can read my review of the movie here.) The upcoming World War II movie Hacksaw Ridge is a bundle of contradictions. Liberals will like cheer the story - and trailer (below) - of an Army medic who, as a conscientious objector, [...]

Once dubbed the next Spielberg, writer/director M. Night Shyamalan has struggled to fulfill that promise after an impressive (and lucrative) early three-film stretch that began nearly twenty years ago. Based on this disturbing debut trailer, Split may be the closest thing to those glory days he's offered up yet. (Warning: the predatory nature of the villain's [...]

Apocalypse Kong. In what appears to be a Vietnam Era jungle excursion gone horrifically awry, the first trailer for Kong: Skull Island shows a King Kong reboot aiming for terrifying results. The first large scale Hollywood production for indie director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer), this blockbuster monster movie stars recent Best Actress Academy [...]
