Posted above is Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions’ first look at its new Terminator stars: Natalia Reyes, Robert Pattinson, and Jon Bon Jovi. The James Cameron produced sequel is helmed by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and picks up after the events of Terminator: Judgement Day.
Okay… that’s not Pattinson and Bon Jovi in that terribly photo-shopped promo. It’s franchise newcomer Mackenzie Davis (Tully) and Linda Hamilton back as iconic survivor-turned-warrior Sarah Connor.
The decision to first release a penis-free image for the film has been polarizing, pitting those who dread another pc-pandering revamp of a popular property against those who welcome anything that makes grown men cry.
We believe all movies would be better if they solely featured hot women — horror, sci-fi, action, drama, rom-coms, everything! Our only issue is with Davis looking like a transgendered terminator (upfront and center no less!) and Hamilton’s butchy aunt hairdo. If only the marketing team could go back in time and photo-shop in longer hair and bikinis.
Sony Pictures has released a new trailer for Venom, its much ballyhooed adaptation of the Marvel comic based on the popular Spiderman villain. Tom Hardy plays the creepy-crawly, a disgraced journalist empowered and consumed by an alien symbiote defeated and discarded by the beloved web-slinger.
Sony Screen Gems has released a new trailer for its adaptation of the notorious Slender Man urban legend, arriving in theaters Aug. 10. Set in Massachusetts, four small town high school girls attempt to debunk the tale only to see one of their own go missing — a suspected victim of the Slender Man.
The film is helmed by Stomp the Yard and The Losers director Sylvain White and stars Joey King (The Conjuring), Julia Goldani-Telles (“The Affair”), Jaz Sinclair (When the Bough Breaks), and Annalise Basso (Ouija: Origin of Evil).
Twentieth Century Fox has released a new trailer for Alita: Battle Angel, a sci-fi actioner adapted from Yukito Kishiro’s manga from director Robert Rodriguez (Desperado) and Avatar producers James Cameron and Jon Landau.
Written by Cameron and Laeta Kalogridis (“Altered Carbon”), Alita: Battle Angel stars Rosa Salazar as a disposed bug-eyed cyborg with a wiped memory rebooted by the kind scientist who finds her in a scrapyard and discovers her secret past.
Godzilla is back and he’s brought all kinds of bad company in Warner Bros. first trailer for Michael Dougherty’s (Trick ‘r Treat) Godzilla: King of the Monsters, a sequel to Gareth Edwards (Monsters) 2014 blockbuster.
Joining Godzilla in the monster mayhem are giant insect Mothra, winged beast Rodan, and three-headed flying dragon King Ghidorah.
Fighting for mankind are milfy Vera Farmiga (“Bates Motel”), Millie Bobby Brown with hair (“Stranger Things”), Sally Hawkins (Shape of Water), Ken Watanabe (Inception), O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Ingrid Goes West) and Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”). In theaters May 31, 2019.
Warner Bros. released this week its first trailer for Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa as the would-be king of the underwater world of Atlantis and one-time laughingstock of DC’s Super Friends. This time out, however, the merman has lost his goldie locks and sensitive Pisces nature and gone rock lobster.
Helmed by Saw and Conjuring director James Wan, Aquaman finds our musclebound reluctant hero fighting enemies on land and sea while falling for the sexy Atlantean (Amber Heard) urging him to take his throne as king of Atlantis. Much of the CG looks bad, but Momoa is cool and you gotta trust in Wan.
AMC has released a trailer for the second half of “Fear the Walking Dead’s” fourth season. Returning Aug. 12, the impressively revamped show finds its survivors split in Texas during a massive storm so strong it hurls the dead sky high!
Under its new showrunners, “Fear the Walking Dead” has become far more gritty and embolden in its storytelling, going as far as to lose its original heroes the Clarks, except for hot daughter Alycia Debnam-Carey, while introducing new characters in thoughtfully crafted episodes reminiscent of early “Walking Dead.”
To be fair, the show had already show signs of life by the end of season two and by three was up on its own feet with an intriguing narrative. Still, the new season is much better and “Walking Dead’s” Morgan is far less annoying here despite signs that he may still be bonkers.
AMC unleashed a five-minute-plus trailer for “The Walking Dead’s” upcoming ninth season today at SDCC. Set to premiere Oct. 7, the show finds Rick Grimes and his people attempting to build civilization for Alexandria and its allied communities after defeating the Saviors and imprisoning their leader, Negan, in last season’s All Out War.
The new season promises to be the drama’s most polarizing and controversial to date for a variety of reasons leaked early on by entertainment sites and trades and now confirmed at SDCC — reasons we won’t expand on should you be fortunate enough to be living under a rock and not have assholes spoil every detail for you.
The trailer is absolutely awesome and does a great job of hinting at the white-knuckle thrills to come. Sure, we’re disappointed to see Tara waddling around, but Rick and Michonne are kicking ass, Negan still has teeth, Daryl and Carol are bonding, Maggie’s let her hair down, Jerry’s got a girlfriend, zombies are sicker than ever, and, holy crap, did you see Rosita’s pants?
A trailer has gone online for Elizabeth Harvest, starring supermodel-turned-actress Abbey Lee (Dark Tower) as a young trophy wife who discovers her brilliant and wealthy scientist husband (Ciaran Hinds) has a room where he stores the corpses of his murdered ex-wives.
Elizabeth Harvest is written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez, writer of Snakes On a Plane and the Halle Berry ghost thriller Gothika and director of the hilarious sex comedies Women In Trouble and Elektra Luxx. IFC releases the film in selected theaters and VOD Aug. 10.
Perhaps drawing inspiration from Ryan Reynolds’ leaked Deadpool footage, Nathan Fillion stars as wise-cracking treasure hunter Nathan Drake in a 15-minute short film by director Allan Ungar (Gridlocked) based on the Naughty Dog video game, Uncharted.
A film adaptation of the game has been struggling to see light of day for years, during which fans of its hero, Nathan Drake, have hoped against hope Fillion, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the character in looks and manner, would score the role.
Unfortunately, Sony is currently envisioning a younger Drake, tapping Tom Holland (Spiderman: Homecoming) for the part some time ago. But, that’s not stopping Fillion and Ungar from finally making fans happy — and proving to Hollywood how the “Firefly” star truly owns it.
The Uncharted short film itself is a blast and co-stars Stephen Lang (Don’t Breathe) as Drake’s sidekick Sully and Mircea Monroe (Fifty Shades of Black) as his lady and photojournalist Elena. Drake’s smart-ass quips are gold and the action resembles the game in tone and actual shots! If not the big screen, here’s hoping it makes it to the small.
