2017 is nearly over and soon, we’ll be obsessing over the films of 2018!
And one of the films that we’ll definitely be obsessing the most over will be the latest installment in the MCU, Black Panther!
Just in time for Christmas, a new teaser has dropped for Black Panther and here it is:
Here it is, friends and lovers!
It’s the first trailer for Avengers: Infinity War!
Remember how we all got chills when we heard James Spader saying, “I’m going to show you something beautiful…” during the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer? That’s how I feel when I hear, “There was an idea…” at the start of this trailer.
Enjoy!
From what I’m hearing, I, Tonya could be a dark horse Oscar contender. There does seem to be general agreement that, at the very least, Margot Robbie will be a contender for the Best Actress Oscar.
The film comes out in December. Here’s the first teaser!
I know, I know. These two trailers dropped in July and I’m late in sharing them. Trust me, I feel totally guilty.
Anyway, it’s been a good year for comic books movies so far. Will that trend continue with Thor: Ragnarok? Traditionally, of all the MCU films, it’s the Thor movies that always have the toughest time with the critics. I’ll just say that, to me, Jeff Goldblum was born to play an intergalactic villain.
Plus, Tom Hiddleston! Everyone loves Tom Hiddleston!
Thor: Ragnarok is coming out later this year. We won’t get to see Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of Ready Player One until 2018 but we can watch this teaser!
Hopefully, after slipping a bit with The BFG, Spielberg will return to quality filmmaking with Ready Player One.
(It’s interesting to note that Spielberg does — in theory — have a film coming out this year. It’s called The Papers and it was hastily put together to serve as both a historical drama and a rebuke to the Trump administration’s criticism of the press. The Papers is currently in post-production and there’s some confusion as to whether it will be ready for a 2017 release and Oscar run. To be honest, Ready Player One sounds like it’ll be more fun than The Papers.)
Here’s the teaser for Mother! The full trailer drops on the 8th.
No one seems to be really sure what Mother! is about. It appears to be a horror/thriller sort of thing but, with Darren Aronofsky directing, it’s safe to assume that there will be all sorts of layers of meaning. Along with starring Jennifer Lawrence (who, after Joy and Passengers, could really use a movie that’s worthy of her talents), Mother! also features Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Ed Harris. Judging by how the majority of this teaser goes out of it’s way to portray Jennifer Lawrence as being isolated in a big house, I wouldn’t be surprised to discover that Bardem, Pfieffer, and Harris all plays figments of Lawrence’s imagination.
Who knows? We’ll find out on September 15th!
Hi, everyone!
Well, look, I’m just going to admit it. I failed you last month. Usually, I try to keep this site up to date with all the best trailers. However, last month, I got very busy with another one of my summer projects and, unfortunately, I ended up running behind on keeping up with all the latest trailers and teasers.
So, if you’ll indulge me a little, I’m going to try to get caught up. Admittedly, some of the trailers that I’m going to share today are going to be old news. But I still want to share them because they’re films that we’re excited about here at the Shattered Lens.
And who knows? Maybe I’m not the only one who had a busy July. Maybe you missed some of these trailers as well.
For instance, check out this teaser for James Franco’s latest film, The Disaster Artist. Now, if you’re like me and you love getting together with friends and tossing around plastic spoons while watching Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, then you can’t wait for the chance to see The Disaster Artist. Telling the true story of Greg Sestero’s friendship with Wiseau and his involvement in the production of The Room, The Disaster Artist was one of the best books of 2014. Rumor has it that The Disaster Artist is also one of the best films of 2017.
If nothing else, James Franco is getting Oscar buzz. If James Franco wins an Oscar for playing Tommy Wiseau, my life will be complete. If it happens, I might even take a year off so that I can bask in the glories of fate.
The teaser below features the filming of one of The Room‘s best-known scenes:
While Wonder Woman (and, by association, the DCEU) is currently riding high, the MCU has several highly anticipated films coming out later this year and in 2018. One of the most anticipated in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. It stars Chadwick Boseman as the title character and it is scheduled to be released on February 16th, 2018.
The first trailer dropped today.
What do you think? Am I the only one who wants to visit Wakanda?
Only ten days to go before the big premiere!
This certainly does look ominous in the usual David Lynch style. I go a little emotional seeing Miguel Ferrer there.
Only ten more days until the wait is over…
Twins Peaks on TSL:
I’ve been hearing rumors that Kirsten Dunst might have an outside chance of getting an Oscar nomination for her performance as a recovering drug addict in the upcoming film, Woodshock.
Well, judging from the trailer below, it’s hard to say for sure. I love this trailer but it seems to indicate that Woodshock is either going to be brilliant or a mess. If nothing else, Kirsten Dunst appears to be playing a character similar to the one that she played in Melancholia. Dunst may have become a star playing a cheerleader in the first Bring It On but her best performances have always been the ones, like Crazy/Beautiful, Melancholia, and perhaps this one, where Dunst has played troubled characters who seem to be lost in the world.
Woodshock will be released on September 15th.
In June, a TV show based on Stephen King’s The Mist will air on Spike TV. I’m not particularly enthusiastic about it but I know some people are.
And, in all honestly, the latest teaser does look effective. I’ve read a few comments online that have described this teaser as being gory but, to be honest, it’s no more extreme than the typical episode of The Walking Dead. I mean, yeah, there’s some blood and there’s some dead people but … bleh. How is that shocking? That said, this teaser does create and maintain a properly ominous atmosphere. I’ll give the show a chance when it airs.
