Just judging from this short teaser, the upcoming film Turbo Kid looks like something that quite a few of our readers might enjoy. It certainly got a good reaction when it premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It’s a post-apocalyptic adventure film that features some familiar Canadian actors. In the role of Turbo Kid, we have Munro Chambers, who is best known for playing Eli, everyone’s favorite bipolar, aspiring filmmaker, on Degrassi.
From some of the same people who brought you Hobo With A Shotgun, here’s the teaser for Turbo Kid!
When the trailer for Everly started, I thought it looked like another version of Lucy and I was like, “Who needs that!?” But then, as the trailer continued, I found myself enjoying just how over-the-top the whole thing is. Add to that, it’s Salma Hayek kicking ass!
This film is called The Fantastic Four. Apparently, somebody realized just how bad the previous Fantastic Four films were and decided to just reboot the whole franchise.
Here’s a preview for the latest TV show about zombies! iZombie is set to premiere on March 17th on the CW. To be honest, I’m not so sure that Rose McIver looks like a zombie as much as she just looks like me during my senior year of high school. Seriously, I used to really go overboard with the mascara.
On the plus side, this show was developed by Rob Thomas, of Veronica Mars fame.
Now, I know that a lot of people are really excited about seeing Jurassic World later this year. However, if you can’t wait until June to get your dinosaur action, why not check out Jurassic City, which is due to be released on February 3rd!
If nothing else, Jurassic City deserves credit for using “This ain’t no walk in the park…” as a tag line.
So, here’s yet another trailer. I say yet another because the trailer for The Lazarus Effect resembles the trailer for just about every other horror film that will probably be released during the first half of 2015. However, I’m still sharing this trailer because the film appears to have a cast that’s much more interesting than its premise. Not only do we have Olivia Wilde and mumblecore pioneer Mark Duplass but it also features none other than Community‘s Donald Glover!
Unfortunately, the trailer seems to indicate just what exactly Glover’s fate is going to be in this particular film. Between Donald Glover in the trailer for The Lazarus Effect, Joel McHale in Deliver Us From Evil, and Alison Brie in Scream 4, what’s the deal with Community actors dying in horror movies?
Everyone seems to be in agreement that Ethan Hawke is going to get an Oscar nomination next week for his performance in Boyhood. Everyone also seems to be in agreement that there’s no way anyone other than J.K. Simmons is going to actually win the Oscar for best supporting actor. But that’s okay. Whether you’re watching him in Before Midnight or Dead Poets Society or even Sinister, one thing that is always obvious is that Ethan Hawke is a very good actor. And he will definitely have other opportunities to win an Oscar or two.
He might even get another chance later this year, with the release of Good Kill. In Good Kill, he plays a drone pilot who spends his day dropping bombs on people on the other side of the world. As the job starts to take a toll on both his family and his sanity, he wonders whether the “mission” is really worth it.
This film got a lot of attention at the Toronto Film Festival last year and it was there that it was picked up by Voltage Pictures for a 2015 release. And, just from watching the international trailer that was released yesterday, Good Kill looks exactly like the type of film that’s always more popular with festival goers than it is with mainstream audiences. The trailer looks heavy-handed, with Bruce Greenwood doing his Bruce Greenwood thing as Hawke’s commanding officer and January Jones looking way too glamorous to play Hawke’s estranged wife.
But, even if the film itself looks like it might have problems, Ethan Hawke’s performance looks impressively intense. Of course, we won’t know how impressive (or non-impressive, as the case may be) Hawke’s performance actually is until the film itself is released.
