The trailer for The Electric State, the latest film from the Russo Brothers, dropped earlier today. The film stars Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown and, if this trailer intrigues you, you’ve got a while to get ready for the film as it’s not set to be released until March of 2025!
Since the 10th of October was the 100th anniversary of the birth of director Edward D. Wood, Jr., it seems appropriate to dedicate this week’s edition of Lisa Marie’s Favorite Grindhouse Trailers to him!
Below …. can you handle six trailers for six Ed Wood films!?
Watch, if you dare!
2. Jail Bait (1954)
3. Bride of the Monster (1955)
4. Plan 9 From Outer Space (1957)
5. The Sinister Urge (1960)
6. Meatcleaver Massacre (1977)
The trailer for Robert Zemeckis’s latest technical experiment, Here, dropped today. The film follows Tom Hanks and Robin Wright over the course of many decades and it uses de-aging technology to make them look younger. The reaction online seems to be mixed, with some saying that Hanks and Wright look like wax figures of themselves.
Personally, I would have cast Hanks and Wright’s respective children as the younger versions of themselves but de-aging is the hot thing right now.
Here’s the trailer. Judge for yourself.
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming horror film, Stay Safe. It appears to be another pandemic thriller. Despite the efforts of many to memory-hole just how insane the COVID era was, movies will always be around to remind us, whether intentionally or not.
Here’s the trailer!
Paddington’s back and this time, he and his family are sailing the Amazon in search of Aunt Lucy! If Werner Herzog doesn’t have a cameo in this film, it will be a major missed opportunity. And while we don’t know if Herzog made it, we do know that Olivia Colman is apparently playing some sort of singing nun while Emily Mortimer will be replacing Sally Hawkins in the role of Paddington’s adopted mother.
Here’s the trailer for Paddington in Peru!
Here is the trailer for Oddity, which will be playing in theaters on July 19th before then making its streaming debut on Shudder!
Hey, it’s another trailer for Ti West’s Maxxxine, the third part of the Mia Goth-centered trilogy that no one saw coming. The film opens on July 5th. Check out the latest trailer below:
Here’s the official trailer for Alien: Romulus, which director Fede Alvarez has promised will be a return to the genre’s roots as a haunted house movie in space. We’ll see how that goes. The trailer certainly is not lacking in atmosphere.
The Cannes Film Festival opens today. One of the most anticipated films on this year’s program is Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, a long-time passion project from Coppola that the studios apparently judged to be unsellable.
I have to admit that, from what I heard about the film, I was a bit skeptical about it. But, earlier today, I saw the trailer and I’ll just say that it won me over. The visuals, the humor, the fact that Coppola seems to be aware that his film is vision is a bit over the top, all of them fill me with a new-found hope for this film.
Here’s the trailer for Megalopolis!
Another Planet of the Apes film?
Indeed! And here’s the exclusive IMAX trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes which …. I mean, it might be good. The trailer is effective. The other Planet of the Apes films have largely been good, except for the one Tim Burton did. (Even the bad ones — like Battle For The Planet of the Apes — have been oddly entertaining.) That said, Andy Serkis was really the heart and soul of the whole reboot and he’s not in this one. On the plus side, the great Kevin Durand is in this film and if anyone was ever meant to be play a tyrannical warlord who takes over a post-apocalyptic Earth, it’s Kevin Durand.
Anyway, here’s the trailer!
