Marvel just swallowed the Red Pill. Welcome to Phase 3 of the MCU: Doctor Strange. With the Avengers now in conflict, new, more spectacular superheroes are set to emerge, and Doctor Strange will be the first to get his own stand-alone origin story. This trailer - which debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live - gives us [...]
This is going to make a lot of muggles very happy. After an initial teaser that didn't reveal much beyond more of the same from author J.K. Rowling's Potterverse (and inspired little more than a shrug), this first full trailer for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them exceeds the first teaser's safe guarantee. Set in 1920s New York City - [...]
The less that Zack Snyder is involved with the DC Universe, the more it's likely to succeed with audiences. Latest exhibit? The third trailer for Suicide Squad. Continuing in the tone and spirit of the previous "Bohemian Rhapsody" Trailer #2, this one - titled "Blitz" (see below) - delivers more of what fans loved about the last one: humor, [...]
Batman and Superman fight in the dark of night and the pouring rain. The Avengers fight in the bright light of day. Just one of several stark (pun intended) differences between the major competing comic book cinematic universes - best displayed here in this new action scene (below) from the upcoming Captain America: Civil War.

And now we can see that big friendly giant for the first time. After an initial teaser that only showed the titular hand (and figure in shadow), this first official trailer for The BFG starts to flesh out the narrative of Roald Dahl's children's story (based on his book), and reveals the motion-capture animated giant in [...]
Trailers can sometimes be deceiving. Exhibits A & B: those fun fan-made edits that turned Sleepless In Seattle into a horror movie and The Shining into the feel-good event of the year. The recent, well-received 2nd preview to Warner Bros. DC villains movie Suicide Squad isn't that dishonest, but it set an expectation for audiences different enough from the original cut that WB has approved reshoots reportedly at a cost [...]
Today - March 30, 2016 - marks the 163rd birthday of the famed, troubled artist Vincent Van Gogh. Now, a new film about the painter's life and death is coming to theaters, boasting a revolutionary technique: it's a motion painting. Below, you can watch the first teaser trailer for Loving Vincent. What you'll see is not [...]
Ewan McGregor as Jesus, in a fictionalized account of Christ's 40 days in the desert - when He was tempted by Satan (also played by McGregor). A provocative concept, to be sure, but if the first trailer for this independent film is any indication, Last Days In The Desert looks to take a sincere look [...]
