Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Comic-Con Trailer – Eddie Redmayne heads into the Harry Potter world

By Leave a Comment

fantastic-beasts-slideSynopsis: ‘Set in the wizarding world created by J.K. Rowling and directed by David Yates. The film stars Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne, Colin Farrell, Ron Perlman, Dan Fogler, Katherine Waterston, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Gemma Chan, and Jon Voight.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them opens in 1926 as Newt Scamander has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident…were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt’s fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.’

Take a look at the rather cool Comic-Con trailer below, which certainly manages to keep the Harry Potter feel, while also adding in a few new things (including an odd touch of Pokemon Go). Personally, I can’t wait! [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

king-arthur-legends-of-the-sword-poster-slideGuy Ritchie seems to be doing to King Arthur what he did to Sherlock Holmes – mixing modern sentiment and action with historical tales, for something that’s not quite like anything you’d expect. A Comic-Con trailer has been released that gives us our best look so far.

Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Djimon Hounsou, Aidan Gillen, Jude Law and Eric Bana star in the movie. It’s set for release next March (following a bit of a delay, as it was originally coming this summer).

Take a look at the pretty cool trailer below. Hunnam might actually make a better King Arthur than many originally thought her would. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

wonder-woman-poster-slideWhile Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was introduced earlier this year in Batman v Superman, but while we’ve known she was getting a standalone adventure and have had a couple of pictures, it’s only know we get our first proper look at the movie. To tie-in with Comic Con the debut trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘“Wonder Woman” is released in cinemas around the world next summer when Gal Gadot returns as the title character in the epic action adventure from director Patty Jenkins. Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

‘Joining Gadot in the international cast are Chris Pine, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Danny Huston, Elena Anaya, Ewen Bremner and Saïd Taghmaoui. Jenkins directs the film from a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and Geoff Johns, story by Zack Snyder & Allan Heinberg, based on characters from DC Entertainment. Wonder Woman was created by William Moulton Marston. The film is produced by Charles Roven, Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder and Richard Suckle, with Rebecca Roven, Stephen Jones, Wesley Coller and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers. Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with RatPac-Dune Entertainment, an Atlas Entertainment/Cruel and Unusual production, “Wonder Woman.” The film is scheduled for release on June 2, 2017, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.’ [Read more…]

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Trailer – Laverne Cox channels her best Frank ‘n’ Furter

By Leave a Comment

rocky-horror-slideRichard O’Brien might not be on board with a new TV movie version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (probably because he’s a bit of a curmudgeon who, unexpectedly, has issues with transgender people), but there are plenty of people out there keen to see what Laverne Cox will do in the role of Dr. Frank ‘n’ Furter.

High School Musical’s Kenny Ortega is behind the camera, with, Reeve Carney, Victoria Justice, Adam Lambert, Christina Milian and Ben Vereen set to star. As the trailer shows us, Tim Curry is also back, although this time he’s playing the role of the narrator.

It certainly looks like it might be fun, playing on the quirkiness as well as the audience participation that’s built up around the show. The film will debut in the US around Halloween, and will hopefully be seen in the UK around the same time. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

blait-witch-slideBack in May we posted the trailer for Adam Wingard’s The Woods, which came with a brief but bold synopsis stating that it would be  ‘One of the scariest movies in decades, THE WOODS reinvents horror with a completely fresh and terrifying take on the genre.’ However the trailer itself was deliberately strange and mysterious, with no plot details.

Now we know why, as they’ve deliberate been hiding something, which is that it’s a sequel to The Blair Witch Project, as revealed at Comic Con. The movie actually focuses on the brother of Heather Donahue’s character from the 1999 original, who comes across some new footage and so heads into the woods on Maryland with some friends in order to try and get some resolution.

Inevitably things take a creepier turn than they expected. It’ll be in cinemas in September. Take a look at the trailer for the film below. [Read more…]

New Snowden Trailer – Oliver Stone directs Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the whistleblower tale

By Leave a Comment

joseph-gorden-levitt-as-edward-snowdenSnowden isn’t your usual Comic-Con fare, but the Oliver Stone film had a well-received panel in San Diego, which even included the real Edward Snowden participating via video link. For the rest of us, there’s a new trailer, which you can take a look at below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Academy Award®-winning director Oliver Stone, who brought Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street and JFK to the big screen, tackles the most important and fascinating true story of the 21st century. Snowden, the politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. He is considered a hero by some, and a traitor by others. No matter which you believe, the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year.’

Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Tom Wilkinson, Rhys Ifans, and Nicolas Cage also star.

Snowden was originally due to be released at the end of last year, however it was pushed back to September 2016. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New Posters: Wonder Woman, Kong: Skull Island, LEGO Batman Movie, Fantastic Beasts & More

By Leave a Comment

kong-skull-island-poster-slideWith Comic-Con kicking off in Sand Diego, movie studios have been lining up to release new posters for their upcoming movies. That includes Wonder Woman, Kong: Skull Island, The LEGO Batman Movie, Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, War Dogs and King Arthur.

All of those movies will be hoping to excite fanboys at the Californian event, and hopefully many of them will be releasing some trailer/footage for the rest of us too. First up though it’s the posters.

We’ve also posted the first official image from Kong: Skull Island, showing Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson, alongside evidence that they’re going to be dealing with some ridiculously large apes. However, like earlier promos, Kong bones suggest this will deal with a species in decline, leaving King Kong as the last of his kind.

This Live-Action Futurama Fan Film Trailer May Be The Coolest & Strangest Thing You See Today

By Leave a Comment

futurama-fan-o-ramaMatt Groening’s Futurama may never have been as big as his other major creation, The Simpsons, but it’s still extremely popular. So much so that someone has now made a fan trailer for a live-action Futurama film.

If you’ve seen the cartoon, you may not think it would be possible to transport it into the live-action realm and keep it looking exactly like Futurama, including Leela’s single-eye, a prehistoric looking Professor Farnsworth and an endearingly low-tech take on the robot, Bender.

The makers, Cinema Relics, say on the film’s website: ‘In the year 2014 one man, Dan Lanigan, in addition to other men, and some women, set out on a quest to become the first person in his family to create a live-action Futurama fan film. He is now regarded by most of his immediate kin as the foremost authority on the subject. This is his story.

‘Of course, he was far too lazy to do it alone. Dan sought out the greatest mind/ego of his age, Martin Moonwalker Meunier to help him invent new technologies, techniques, and recipes to bring the visual realism sorely lacking in the cartoon. He signed on the attractive Kody Frederick to star, help write and produce, as well as add the sex-appeal sorely lacking in the cartoon. He engaged his niece, Katie Lanigan, to act, help produce, and add the nepotism sorely lacking in the cartoon. He activated the legendary Garzatron, a synthetic being capable of carrying on 16 conversations at once with himself, to help design and build stuff. Adam Cook was raised from the dead in accordance with ancient Swedish prophecy to help produce. Dan secured the musical genius, Eric Diaz, a talented singer-songwriter, to make costumes. He brought aboard Andy Klimczak so he wouldn’t be the only fat guy on set. He also acted and helped write.’

And that statement should give you a taste or just how nutty but oddly inspired this is. Take a look at the live-action Futurama trailer below. It’s not known when the finished fan film, Fan-O-Rama, will be completed/released, but it’s certainly something to look out for.
