With all the excitement surrounding the latest films from Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese, it’s easy to forget that David Fincher has a new film coming out as well! Here is the first official teaser for The Killer, which is due to open on November 10th!
(Hey, that’s the day after my birthday!)
Hey, they’re back!
Don’t ever get me started on the title, though.
Here’s the trailer for The Expend4bles, which will be released on September 22nd!
Paul Mescal and Saoirse Ronan will be co-starring Amazon’s FOE, which will be released to theaters in October 6th. The advertising is already making references to “visionary director” Garth Davis. Did people learn their lesson about tossing around words like “visionary” with Malcolm & Marie?
Anyway, here’s the trailer!
Yesterday, the trailer for Bradley Cooper’s upcoming Maestro dropped.
In this Netflix film, Cooper plays Leonard Bernstein and Carey Mulligan plays his wife. Ever since this project was first announced, it’s been promoted as a potential Oscar nominee and the trailer certainly has that awards bait feel. The trailer also indicates that, as far as biopics are concerned, this is going to be something of a niche picture. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. I would watch Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan in just about anything.
To be honest, Boy Kills World sounds like the logical conclusion of the Boy Meets World cinematic universe but apparently, this upcoming film has nothing to do with the 90s sitcom in which Topanga was basically bullied into getting married during her first year of college.
Instead, judging from this trailer, Boy Kills World appears to be the latest over-the-top action parody. I have to admit that I chuckled a few more times than I would like to admit while watching this trailer. The whole “I stole my inner voice from Mortal Kombat” thing made me laugh out loud. Honestly, despite my general aversion to excessive violence, this film might be actually be kind of …. fun?
Produced by Sam Raimi, this film is coming out sometime next year, just in time for the Ben Savage congressional campaign.

Here is the final trailer for The Meg 2! I didn’t really care much for the first Meg but this sequel is directed by Ben Wheatley so I’m going to have to see it.

Here’s the trailer for Golda, a film about Israeli Prime Minster Golda Mier and her leadership during The Yom Kippur War of 1973. Much as with Michael Caine’s The Great Escaper, this film looks like it could, among other things, allow a veteran performer to enter this year’s Oscar race. Golda is scheduled to be released nationwide on August 25th.
Fresh from destroying the Halloween franchise, David Gordon Green is prepared to work his magic on The Exorcist.
Here’s the trailer for The Exorcist: Believer. Yes, Ellen Burstyn returns but who cares? We all saw Halloween Ends.
The upcoming film, The Great Escaper, is based on the true story of a World War II veteran who, having escaped from his assistant living facility, made his way to France to honor his fallen comrades. The great Sir Michael Caine plays the veteran while Glenda Jackson, in her final role, plays his wife. The film sounds unabashedly sentimental and director Oliver Parker is not exactly known for his subtle touch but, with stars like Caine and Jackson and a true life story that touches the heart and bring tears to one’s eyes, attention must be paid.
The trailer dropped today and here it is:
The trailer for The Marvels dropped today. I got through about 30 seconds of it before I started to get a headache thinking about how insufferable the discourse around this film is going to be. Comic book films can be fun but, over the past few years, the discourse around them has become unbearable. Will this film be accused of being too woke or not woke enough? Probably both because that seems to be the way of the culture right now.
On a personal note, I have to admit that I’m at the point where I’m a bit bored with all of the Marvel films and TV shows. I was very much invested in the MCU for its first ten years but Endgame just felt like the logical place to end the saga. Everything after that — with the possible exception of the Spider-Man films — has felt somewhat anti-climatic. The first ten years of the MCU worked because every film, in one way or another, was clearly a part of a bigger story. Post-Endgame, it’s hard not to feel like the films are lacking the epic feel that previously excited audiences.
Will The Marvels reverse the MCU’s fortunes? We’ll find out later this year! For now, here’s the trailer:
