Sorry, everyone! I’ve been so busy this week that I’m a little bit late in sharing this trailer. All apologies!
Without any further delay, here’s the trailer for The Invisible Man, which features Elisabeth Moss being menaced by her abusive ex! It appears that, having faked his own death, he is using a formula designed by Moss to torment her without being seen! Seriously, he couldn’t even come up with his own invisibility formula? What a jerk!
This comes out on February 28th so, if you have a bad Valentine’s Day next year, just remember that you have this to look forward to!
Out of nowhere tonight, we suddenly got the first trailer for Christopher Nolan’s next film. Tenet is a project that has been shrouded in secrecy. All we know for sure is that it’s an espionage epic of some sort and that it stars John David Washington and Robert Pattinson.
And now, we have a trailer, which features Washington doing …. stuff. It’s hard to say what he’s doing, of course. It’s an enigmatic teaser, which shouldn’t come as a surprise since this is a Nolan production.
This up-coming Thai series certainly does like intriguing. It gives off a bit of a Lost vibe, which I guess is a good thing if you liked Lost. Me, I loved Lost so I’m happy.
The Stranded will be available on Netflix on November 15th!
To be honest, I had my doubt about this project but the trailer actually looks kind of good.
The Witcher, which is based the series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski, tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, who hunts monsters at a time and in a land where it can often be difficult to tell the difference between who is truly a monster and who is not. Heny Cavill will be playing Geralt in the series and Adrzej Sapkowsi swill serve as a creative consultant.
So, let’s hope for the best when The Witcher drops on Netflix on December 20th!
Well, everyone, Halloween will soon be over for this year but we’ve got 2020 to look forward to! That’s one good thing about Halloween. It may have to end but it always returns, resurrected like an angry ghost or vampire.
Or like Michael Myers!
Yes, that’s right. Michael is returning next year, in a sequel to David Gordon Green’s Halloween. David Gordon Green’s Halloween, of course, should not be mistaken for Rob Zombie’s Halloween or any other Halloween that came out after the original. I swear to God, it’s so hard to keep all of these continuities straight.
Anyway, Halloween Kills is coming out next year and everyone’s really excited, even though Halloween Kills is a TERRIBLE title. Today, in honor of the holiday, Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted out some first-look footage of the film. And, because we love all of you and like to share, here it is!
This is the latest of several adaptations of H.G. Wells’s classic tale about Martians invading Earth. What sets this one apart from some of the others is that 1) it’s set close to the time period that the novel was originally written (the novel was published in 1898 and the new miniseries takes place during the Edwardian era so it’s only a difference of a few years) and 2) it takes place in the country where the novel is actually set. In other words, the Martians have arrived and it’s up to the British to save us all!
Well, maybe. Not to spoil the book but let’s just say that humanity didn’t do a very good job when it came to defending Earth from the Martians.
Anyway, this is a 3-episode miniseries which will air on the BBC sometime in the autumn. (Hopefully in late November or early December, hint, hint.) Eventually, I imagine that viewers in the States will get to see it.
I’m a few days late in sharing this but no matter! Here’s the trailer for Uncut Gems!
I’ve said this in the past but it bears repeating. If you only knew Adam Sandler from his dramatic performances (in films like The Meyerowitz Stories, Punch Drunk Love, Reign Over Me, Men Women & Children, The Cobbler, and Funny People), you would be totally justified in thinking that he was one of our most acclaimed performers. I mean, as strange as it may seem to say about the star of Jack and Jill and That’s My Boy, Adam Sandler is a surprisingly cable and versatile actor.
(In fact, I think one reason why we tend to get more annoyed with Sandler’s dumb films — as opposed to the dumb films of so many other comedic actors — is because we actually have evidence that Sandler’s capable of a lot more. I mean, if you’ve just seen Sandler in Punch Drunk Love, it makes total sense that then seeing Sandler in commercials for Grown Ups 2 is going to piss you off just a little.)
Anyway, Adam Sandler deserved an Oscar nomination for The Meyerowitz Stories. The early buzz is that he deserves one for Uncut Gems. Standing in his way, of course, is the fact that he’s Adam Sandler. But, we’ll see what happens. The trailer looks intense and the film, which has already gotten some early acclaim, is directed by the up-and-coming Safdie Brothers.
The second trailer for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming gangster epic, The Irishman, dropped today and …. wow.
Now, admittedly, the reaction online has been kind of mixed. Some people are a little bit concerned that the de-aging technology is just going to be too distracting, especially considering that this is a four-hour movie. I will admit that both Al Pacino and Joe Pesci looked a bit …. well, off. I mean, all the CGI in the world can’t change the fact that this is a film that will feature elderly actors playing youngish gangsters.
Still, the story that The Irishman is telling is a fascinating one and, since Robert De Niro’s character claimed to be both a hitman and a participant in the JFK assassination, the film seems like it will appeal to both mafia afficianadoes and conspiracy theorists.
Add to that, is a Scorsese film and how can you not be excited about that?
That said, the main reaction to this latest trailer seems to be shock that Ray Romano is apparently holding his own opposite actors like De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, and Harvey Keitel. But, believe it or not, Romano actually has developed into a pretty dependable character actor. Anyone who has seen The Big Sickcan attest to that.
Anyway, The Irishman is expected to be a major Oscar contender. Of course, they said the same thing about Silence. We’ll see what happens!
The Irishman will be released on November 1st in select theaters and will then drop on Netflix on November 27th.
Did y’all know that there’s a new Friday the 13th film coming out?
Well, kind of.
Friday the 13th: Vengeance is a crowdfunded fan-made film that takes place 30 years after the conclusion of Friday the 13th: Jason Lives! It features C.J. Graham, who previously played Jason in Jason Lives, as Elias Voorhees, the father of everyone’s favorite hockey mask-wearing, Oedipal complex-having zombie. When Elias returns to Camp Crystal Lake, people start dying once again. After Tommy Jarvis goes missing, his daughter launches an investigation of her own.
This film is currently in post-production and, if nothing else, it’ll probably be better than the Friday the 13th reboot that was released a few years ago. This trailer was released a while ago but, given the date, today seems like an appropriate time to share it here on the Shattered Lens!
