Ha! You only thought the Ape franchise was over.
Here’s the Super Bowl trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which finds the Apes even more in charge and the humans even more in the shadows. Director Wes Ball did well with at least one of The Maze Runner films so I’ll be interested to see how this film goes.
Ryan Gosling shirtless!
Emily Blunt with alien hands!
Well, they obviously know what audience’s want.
Here’s the Super Bowl teaser for The Fall Guy!
Here’s the Super Bowl teaser for Despicable Me 4, which comes with a lot of cute minion and some well-deserved shots at A.I!
I know that certain people claim to be over the Minions. I have a talking Minion doll and he’s adorable. Seriously, how can you not like them?
It’s Super Bowl Sunday and you know what that means! It’s time to watch and judge all of the Super Bowl commercials! It’s also the time that those of us at the Shattered Lens try to post all of the trailers, teasers, and film-related commercials that air during the Big Game!
Let’s get things started with this Super Bowl teaser for Kung Fu Panda 4!
2015’s Inside Out was a sincere, touching, sad, and joyful animated film. If we’re going to be totally honest, it was the last truly great film to come out of PIXAR. I absolutely loved it and …. it’s getting a sequel!
Normally, I’m weary of sequels to beloved films. There’s always such a danger of tarnishing the original film’s legacy with a misplaced joke or an ill-thought plot development. But Inside Out, which is about growing up and dealing with one’s developing emotions, is uniquely designed to be sequel-friendly. We never stop growing and we never stop having emotions. And, as we see in the just-released teaser for Inside Out 2, sometimes new emotions pop up out of nowhere.
Here’s the teaser for Inside Out 2!
Yes, this is an A24 film. It seems like, every March, A24 releases a stylized genre film that is specifically designed to appeal to a very online segment of film reviewers. It seems to be working out pretty well so I can’t blame them.
Here’s the trailer!
A Quiet Place: Day One is coming out in June. It’s another Quiet Place film, just without any of the characters that you actually care about from the previous two films.
“Find out why the world went silent.”
Uhmm, don’t we already know that? Like the aliens that hunt by sound showed up so everyone had to be quiet to avoid being killed in a grisly manner? See, this is why I’m not a fan of prequels. A lot of times, prequels are based on the idea that people are asking question that no one is actually asking.
Anyway, A Quiet Place: Day One was not directed by John Krasinski and it does not star Emily Blunt but they both appear in the trailer. It was directed by the guy who did Pig, which was a good film. Honestly, this kind of feels like Chloe Zhao doing The Eternals and then vanishing.
Here’s the trailer!
Here’s the latest trailer for a film that I am definitely looking forward to seeing in 2024, The Bikeriders! Directed by Jeff Nichols of Mud and Take Shelter fame, The Bikeriders is a fictionalized look at the history of a notorious outlaw motorcycle gang. Even if I didn’t have a weakness for bikers, the fact that the cast features Austin Butler, Norman Reedus, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy would be more than enough to pique my interest!
John Krasinski has gone from being the cute smirky guy on The Office to an action hero to a legitimately good horror director. Next year, the Krasinski saga will continue with IF, a comedy that he has written and directed about a father, his daughter, and a host of “imaginary friends.”
The trailer dropped today and it’s cute enough to be interesting. A bearded Ryan Reynolds plays the father and it appears that a host of familiar names will be voicing the IFs.
I don’t know much about American Star, other than it stars Ian McShane.
From the trailer, it appears to be yet another film about an over-the-hill hitman having to do one last job. That’s hardly inspiring but some of the visuals in the trailer are intriguing, especially the scenes with the boat. McShane is 81 and perhaps a little bit old for this type of film but, in this trailer, he doesn’t look a day over 70. If anything, he still looks like he could give Liam Neeson a run for his money.
Here’s the trailer!
