And I can't do anything to stop it." Warner Bros has revealed the full trailer for the final half of the animated adaptation of the celebrated Watchmen graphic novel. Watchmen: Chapter 2 is set to debut in November. Back in 2009, Zack Snyder adapted the graphic novel into an epic 3 hour long movie. Which was extended into the "Ultimate Cut", including animated segments of "Tales of the Black Freighter" from the original book. There was also a Motion Comic version in 2009. Then came the "Watchmen" series on HBO in 2019, a re-invention from Damon Lindelof (which was terrific). Now, WB is adapting the entire book again (written by Alan Moore, illustrated by Dave Gibbons) once again. It's a direct from-page-to-screen retelling of this dark & complex story about a group of superheroes with too much power. Voices of Titus Welliver as Rorschach, Rick D. Wasserman as The Comedian, Katee Sackhoff as Silk Spectre II, Adrienne Barbeau as Silk Spectre I, Troy Baker as Veidt / Ozymandias, Matthew Rhys as Nite Owl, Michael Cerveris as Dr. Manhattan, and Jeffrey Combs as Moloch. Chapter II is the conclusion to this grand story of superheroes & villains, power & control. Dive in. // Continue Reading ›]]> https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/intense-official-trailer-for-wbs-watchmen-chapter-ii-animated-movie/feed/ 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/sitges-2024-clever-ghost-comedy-dead-talents-society-from-taiwan/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/sitges-2024-clever-ghost-comedy-dead-talents-society-from-taiwan/#disqus_thread Wed, 16 Oct 2024 16:25:30 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=714487 How do you reinvent movies about ghosts? This is how. One of my favorite discoveries from the 2024 Sitges Film Festival is this delightfully kooky, hilarious, charming, clever film from Taiwan called Dead Talents Society. It can be labeled as a horror comedy, but it's so much more than just that. This first premiered at the 2024 Taipei Film Festival in Taiwan earlier this year, then screened at TIFF and Fantastic Fest before sliding into Sitges. It's another one of these indie gems films that I'm glad I took the time to watch, because amidst so many mediocre and forgettable horror films in 2024 (sorry but too many of them are awful), this one really stands out. Directed by John Hsu, Dead Talents Society is a bit of a Beetlejuice remix - it's not the only new Beetlejuice movie this year! Ghosts are the main characters – people who have died in horrible ways who haunt the living despite not being seen by them. However, the film is light and fun and witty, and what makes it great is it progresses to places I was not expecting at all, reminding us that we can be better. // Continue Reading ›]]> https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/sitges-2024-clever-ghost-comedy-dead-talents-society-from-taiwan/feed/ 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/x-mas-eve-airport-thriller-carry-on-teaser-featuring-taron-egerton/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/x-mas-eve-airport-thriller-carry-on-teaser-featuring-taron-egerton/#disqus_thread Wed, 16 Oct 2024 15:52:42 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=714610 "All you have to do – is nothing." Netflix has revealed a first look teaser trailer for a holiday thriller called Carry-On, landing to watch in December later in the year (on Netflix worldwide). It's a new action thriller from Jaume Collet-Serra (of Orphan, Unknown, Non-Stop, The Commuter, Jungle Cruise, Black Adam), who is giving us this present of a B-movie with some cheesy direct-to-video vibes. The mysteriously vague synopsis only explains: A young TSA agent fights to outsmart a mysterious traveler who blackmails him into letting a dangerous package slip onto a Christmas Eve flight. The impressive ensemble cast features Taron Egerton as the TSA agent, Jason Bateman, Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, Logan Marshall-Green, Dean Norris, Sinqua Walls, and Jason Bateman. The coolest thing about this is Bateman as the bad guy?! This actually looks like the best kind of chilling schlock to enjoy during the holidays this year. // Continue Reading ›]]> https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/x-mas-eve-airport-thriller-carry-on-teaser-featuring-taron-egerton/feed/ 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/official-trailer-for-bogart-life-comes-in-flashes-biopic-documentary/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/official-trailer-for-bogart-life-comes-in-flashes-biopic-documentary/#disqus_thread Wed, 16 Oct 2024 15:34:15 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=714427 "I never was happy... until I met THAT one." Which one? Freestyle Digital Media has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film called Bogart: Life Comes in Flashes, an intimate look back at the life of Hollywood icon Humphrey Bogart. Narrated in his own words from recordings, this is the first official real doc to explore the remarkable life & legacy of Hollywood legend and cultural icon Humphrey "Bogie" Bogart. Framed around the five key women in his life, including Lauren Bacall, the film intricately weaves together his most important relationships against a backdrop of world events. With rare footage and his own voice. Described as "a nuanced portrait of the man behind the myth, and a fresh perspective on the legacy of one of Hollywood’s most revered stars." This looks like an enchanting and lively look at an enormous figure in Hollywood history, focused on the ladies in his life. "I wanted this film to be a rich visual tapestry, woven from an abundance of Hollywood movies, carefully sourced contextual footage, stunning old photography, 20th century reportage, and newly shot scenes to create a potent, cinematic experience."

Sing: Thriller is an animated zombie horror short for Netflix which is now out to watch - no waiting! Made by Illumination and directed by Garth Jennings, the same director from both Sing 1 & 2. After putting on a performance of Michael Jackson's zombie dance "Thriller", the animals head to a party only to discover everyone has been turned into zombies! Jennings adds: "I don’t know if it is possible to enjoy making anything as much as I have done while working on Sing: Thriller. Our awesome cast & team of geniuses at Illumination have gone above & beyond to take one of the biggest hits of all time and concoct a new and very special treat for Halloween." With the voices of Matthew McConaughey as Buster Moon, Tori Kelly as Meena, Nick Kroll as Gunter, Scarlett Johansson as Ash, Taron Egerton as Johnny, Garth Jennings as Miss Crawly.

Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for an indie sci-fi thriller called The Fix, a unique dystopian creation from indie filmmaker Kelsey Egan as her third feature film. This premiered at a festival earlier this year and will be on VOD starting in November. A toxic compound infects earth's atmosphere. Pharmaceutical giant, Aethera, sells immunity to those who can afford the daily dose... most can't. In this climate change ravaged future with toxic air, a young model takes a new "party" drug causing a physical transformation making her into their next test subject. She freaks out and tries reversing it searching for a "fix" but learns that her mutations could actually save humanity. Huh - an interesting eco-thriller twist. I guess...? The film stars Grace Van Dien (daughter of actor Casper Van Dien), Clancy Brown, Daniel Sharman, Aidan Scott, Chris Fisher, Nicole Fortuin, Ryan Kruger, and Tafara Nyatsanza. Despite an interesting premise, this looks like a direct-to-video production.

He has created many shorts and other cinema projects, but this is his first movie and it's gorgeous. "Something else is out there..." A young girl who lives on a mysterious island heads off on her own into the wilderness when she befriends a little creature known as an Ochi. Similar to a monkey, but not like anything that really exists. The rest is a mystery, though IMDb adds that she "uncovers the mysteries of animal communication." Look at this little cutie! Reminds me of Gizmo from Gremlins. The film stars Helena Zengel (from System Crasher & News of the World), Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson, and Willem Dafoe. It was originally filmed in 2021 and took three years to complete. Some scenes of the film have been shot in Transylvania, in the Apuseni Mountains, at the Bâlea Lake and on the Transfăgărășan road. I really want to watch this! They don't really make these kind of magical fantasy adventure films anymore, but here we finally have another. // Continue Reading ›]]> https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/first-trailer-for-adventure-film-the-legend-of-ochi-from-isaiah-saxon/feed/ 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/ominous-teaser-trailer-for-wallace-gromit-vengeance-most-fowl/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/ominous-teaser-trailer-for-wallace-gromit-vengeance-most-fowl/#disqus_thread Wed, 16 Oct 2024 13:15:16 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=714440 "Who could possibly be behind all this?" Netflix has just revealed the exciting first look teaser trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl, a brand new Wallace & Gromit animated movie arriving to watch this winter. The "world's best boss" – Feathers McGraw – is back with a vengeance. A brand new epic Wallace & Gromit family adventure from Aaardman, the first full length W&G feature film in 19 years since BAFTA and Academy Award-winning The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. The film focuses on Gromit's concern that Wallace has become over-dependent on his inventions, which proves justified when Wallace invents a "smart gnome" that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle the sinister forces and save his master. With the voices of Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Lauren Patel, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan, Adjoa Andoh, Muzz Khan, and Lenny Henry. It also marks the ominous return of one Feathers McGraw, the villainous penguin from the W&G classic The Wrong Trousers back in 1993.

Saban Films has revealed the official trailer for Whiteout, an intense survival thriller film from Canada. The film premiered under the original title Walking Supply instead, showing at one film festival in late 2023, now set for a November release this fall. That original title is a bit clunky and strange, though Whiteout is also too generic and doesn't tease anything about this story at all. This the thrilling survival story of three men who escape from a Russian labor camp and must overcome the treacherous wilderness & each other as their journey turns into a brutal fight for survival. Directed by Derek Barnes who states: "As a stuntman turned filmmaker, Walking Supply is a dream come true. From dangling off cliffs to falling into frozen lakes, climbing up mountains and smashing trucks through gates – this is the type of high-octane, independent, venturous project that I’ve always wanted to tackle." The thriller Whiteout stars James McDougall, Douglas Nyback, & Joel Labelle as the three men chasing freedom, plus Ian Matthews as the angry guy. Not your standard survival thriller - this has tons of big guns in it!

Relativity Media has unveiled an official trailer for an indie thriller film called The Man in the White Van, based on a true story of a serial killer stalking people in Florida in the 1970s. Opening in theaters on Friday the 13th in December this year. The Man in the White Van (a PG-13 horror movie) delves into the eerie underbelly of a seemingly idyllic 1974 Florida town and follows the harrowing experience of young Annie Williams, a spirited girl whose carefree existence is turned upside down as she becomes stalked by an ominous man in a white van. Based on actual events of the serial killer Billy Mansfield Jr., this portrays a bone-chilling story of a young girl's unimaginable horrors and every parent’s worst nightmare. Starring Madison Wolfe as Annie, along with Brec Bassinger, Skai Jackson, Gavin Warren, Ali Larter, and Sean Astin. The whole point if this seems to be that, oh back then, they didn't know there were creepos in white vans prowling on kids.

Mubi has revealed their trailer for an indie film called Bird, the latest feature written and directed by the award-winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold (of Red Road, Fish Tank, American Honey, Cow). It premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in the Main Competition this year, but didn't take home any awards. Reviews were mixed but fairly positive. Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent. Bug doesn't have much time to devote to them. So Bailey looks for attention and adventure elsewhere, eventually meeting a strange man named "Bird" with whom she builds a connection with. A tender, striking, distinctly surprising coming-of-age fable from Academy Award-winner Andrea Arnold, starring Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, and newcomer Nykiya Adams as Bailey. Arriving in theaters in the US, Canada, UK & Ireland from November 8th this fall - and streaming eventually on Mubi.

Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, The Rescue, Wild Life, Nyad). However, they seem to be attached to have their names onboard, as it is also co-directed by the British doc filmmaker Natalie Hewit. In a legendary feat of leadership and perseverance, iconic polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton kept his crew of 27 men alive for over a year despite the loss of their ship in frigid pack ice. Over a century later, a team of modern-day explorers sets out to find the sunken ship. The Maritime Heritage Trust located his shipwrecked Endurance near Antarctica in 1915. Endurance tells the inspiring stories of two landmark expeditions – both bound by their shared grit & determination. Following its world premiere at the 2024 London Film Festival, National Geographic Doc Films will begin streaming this doc (on Disney+) starting in early November. These kind of discovery stories always intrigue me, following people doing things that no one else is doing out there.

Picturehouse has revealed the official UK trailer for the mysterious film The Universal Theory, a mind-boggling sci-fi-tinged thriller set in the Swiss mountains. This first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival one year ago under the original title The Theory of Everything, and it earned mostly mixed reviews (mine is here). We also posted the US trailer recently. The noir film is set in 1962. A physics congress in the Alps. An Iranian guest. A mysterious pianist. A bizarre cloud in the sky, a boom under the mountain. It's "a quantum mechanical thriller in black & white." Driven by astonishing twists and improbable coincidences, The Universal Theory unravels a captivatingly complex chronicle with brain-tickling suspense. Lead by a fantastic cast & interspersed with a dynamic soundtrack, The Theory of Everything is an intellectual sci-fi film about the contingency of our world, in which much is possible and hardly anything is necessary. Starring Jan Bülow as Leinert, Olivia Ross as Karin, Hanns Zischler, Gottfried Breitfuss, David Bennent, & Philippe Graber. This one is the best of the three trailers for this film, makes me really want to rewatch it and figure out more of what is going on in the story. // Continue Reading ›]]> https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/new-uk-trailer-poster-for-mind-boggling-film-the-universal-theory/feed/ 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/full-trailer-for-citadel-honey-bunny-spy-action-series-set-in-india/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/full-trailer-for-citadel-honey-bunny-spy-action-series-set-in-india/#disqus_thread Tue, 15 Oct 2024 13:29:52 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=714267 "We fight a war every day.

Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a documentary film called Yintah, which is the word for "land" in this tribe's language. This premiered at the True/False Film Festival earlier this year and has played at a number of other prestigious fests in 2024. The film focuses on the impact on the lives of the Wet'suwet'en people who live on unceded territory (in Canada), as they push back against and oppose the construction of multiple pipelines. Yintah is "about an anti-colonial resurgence—a fierce & ongoing fight for Indigenous and human rights in the face of a colonial government committed to seizing lands at gunpoint." Canada has authorized fossil fuel giants to build pipelines across Wet'suwet'en land. The result: a decade long clash between Wet'suwet'en land defenders and Canadian police seeking to seize Wet'suwet'en land at gunpoint. The story is about two Indigenous women and other land defenders fighting to hold onto their land. Looks like an empowering and vitally important doc spending time with the real people involved. // Continue Reading ›]]> https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/trailer-for-yintah-doc-indigenous-women-fight-to-save-their-land/feed/ 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/watch-vibrant-animated-music-video-for-dark-mystery-enigma-bird/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2024/watch-vibrant-animated-music-video-for-dark-mystery-enigma-bird/#disqus_thread Mon, 14 Oct 2024 20:20:22 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=714222 "I am that mystery enigma bird, that resolved itself out from the weird..."

Made by an animation filmmaker from Montreal for a band from Montreal called Nap Eyes, this super weird super fun music video is worth a watch. "Dr. Cool", as he calls himself, created this hand-drawn music video for the Nap Eyes' song "Dark Mystery Enigma Bird" off of their new album out this month. It starts out with a group of horses going on a joy ride when the truck they're standing in rolls down a hill and takes them into the mountains and around the hills. As usual with these music videos, all kinds of weird things happen. Dr. Cool jokes in his intro: "I shoulda made it so the horses roll back down the hill in the final scene but at some point you just gotta stop working on the video!" Ahaha love it. I'm always a fan of these kind of super wacky & weird music videos, letting the animation go off the rails anywhere it wants.

Means never linger on a job..." Well Go USA debuted the full trailer for an intense action movie called Get Fast, arriving on VOD in November to watch. This one is skipping theaters and this trailer will show you exactly why – not much to see. This "high-octane" action thriller is directed by James Clayton, who also co-stars in it. After a heist goes wrong, a thief and a troubled orphan must rescue his kidnapped partner from a ruthless drug lord and her charming hitman. With guns, cars, and explosions, their escape is a high-stakes race against time. But does it have anything to enjoy that we haven't seen before in countless other action movies?

Peacock has revealed a teaser trailer for a series called Lockerbie: A Search For Truth, which will be streaming on Peacock in the US and UK in early January 2025. Created by Sky TV and Carnival Films, this series is a look at one of the worst terrorist disasters in UK history. Many may remember this. On December 21st, 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 explodes over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, 38 minutes after takeoff, killing 259 on board and 11 on the ground. Dr. Jim Swire loses his daughter Flora. "We we have followed Jim Swire's remarkable story for decades... In part a profoundly moving character story of love and loss, this drama is as much an investigative political thriller that shows how an ordinary man with unstoppable determination can take on governments & world leaders in pursuit of truth." Exploring events from the disaster and its aftermath, Lockerbie provides an intimate account of a man who risks everything in memory of his daughter and the unflinching pursuit of truth & justice. Colin Firth stars as Dr. Jim Swire, with Catherine McCormack, Rosanna Adams, Jemma Carlton, Harry Redding, Sam Troughton, Mark Bonner, Ardalan Esmaili, & Selwa Jghalef.
