The trailer for Renfield has been getting a lot of attention today. Due to be released on April 14th, Renfield stars Nicholas Hoult as the title character, who was Dracula’s unfortunate servant. However, most of the attention generated by the trailer has been directed towards Nicolas Cage playing the role that many feel he was born to play.
Check out the trailer:
This could be good, despite the fact that I usually have my doubts about films that come out in April. I like Nicholas Hoult. I love Nic Cage. So, we’ll see hop for the best and we shall see what happens!
Here’s the trailer for Plane, starring Gerard Butler!
Sadly, this is not a sequel to the 30th best film of 2020, Money Plane.
Still, it’s always nice to see Gerard Butler doing stuff.
The film will be in theaters on January 13th! That’s actually Friday the 13th so make sure that you don’t end up sitting next to the Voorhees kid. He likes a windows seat, from what I hear.
Here’s the trailer for Evil Dead Rise! Word of advice: don’t even think about watching the trailer with all the lights turned off. Agck!
Apparently, Evil Dead Rise is a sequel to theEvil Dead reboot but not necessarily the original Evil Dead films. Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are credited as being executive producers, which might mean something or it might not. As far as I can tell, Campbell will not be appearing in this film. (If he does appear, they’ve done a great job keeping it a secret and Campbell’s done a great job telling everyone that he’s not in the movie.) The Evil Dead reboot itself was certainly not bad, though, being the horror snob that I am, I’ll always prefer the original films. It’s hard to beat the combination of Lovecraft-style horror and Campbell/Raimi goofiness that set the original trilogy apart from so many other horror franchises.
Evil Dead Rise will be released to theaters on April 23rd!
Here’s the trailer for the latest Transformers movie.
Like Bumblebee, this film is a prequel to the other Transformers films. This film is set in 1994 so I guess viewers can look forward to grunge and flannel to go along with the robots or whatever it is the Transformers are supposed to be.
I can see why people are just calling this Indiana Jones 5.
Hopefully, this film will give Harrison Ford a chance to close out the Indiana Jones saga with a bit more panache than he was allowed in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Still, it just feels wrong the Spielberg isn’t directing.
Anyway, here’s the trailer. It’s always nice to see Harrison Ford acting grumpy.
To be honest, I’ve been a little bit bored with the MCU lately. I mean, the Spider-Man films were fun and WandaVision was certainly better than I was expecting it to be but, for the most part, it’s been hard to shake the feeling that, post-Endgame, the MCU has lost a bit of its spark. Endgame was such a logical place to stop that everything that’s come after it has felt a bit superfluous.
Still, if anyone can respark my interest in the MCU, it would be James Gunn and the Guardians of the Galaxy. And, fortunately, they’ve got a new film coming out next year! Here’s the trailer, which seems to promise that the Guardians will continue to poke subtle fun at the conventions of the MCU while also using those conventions to their advantage.
At the very least, it should have a good soundtrack.
I have to admit that my interesting in this film goes up and down. I was intrigued when I first heard about it. This trailer, to be honest, is a bit too frantic for me and a lot of it feels like the sort of thing that would have been mind-blowing in 2007 but, today, we’ve kind of been inundated with films about Hollywood’s decadent past.
That said, I’m still looking forward to seeing and judging the film for myself.
Albert Pyun made his directorial debut with this film, which starred Richard Lynch. The Sword and the Sorcerer was Pyun’s most financially successful film.
2. Dangerously Close (1986)
In 1986, Albert Pyun directed the teen vigilante classic, Dangerously Close.
3. Cyborg (1989)
Due to the presence of Jean-Claude Van Damme in the leading role, Cyborg remains one of Pyun’s best-known films.
4. Captain America (1990)
20 years before Kevin Feige and the MCU, Albert Pyun brought Captain America to the big screen!
5. Omega Doom (1996)
In 1996, Albert Pyun was responsible for this post-apocalyptic western, starring Rutger Hauer.
6. Tales of an Ancient Empire (2011)
Finally, in 2011, Pyun directed his long-awaited sequel to The Sword and the Sorcerer, Tales of An Ancient Empire.
In the years since then, it’s become a lot more common to hear people making the exact same criticism of the film that I made in 2010. What’s strange though is that the anti-Avatar discourse has gotten so obnoxious that it’s cause me to go from hating the movie to being one of those people who is like, “Okay, it wasn’t that bad.” Because, seriously, it’s one thing to dislike a film and it’s another thing to make that dislike into your entire personality.
To the shock of perhaps everyone who has knows me, I’m actually rooting for the Avatar sequel now. I hope it’s good. I hope it makes a ton of money. Take that, you snobs!
Anyway, here’s the latest trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water.
