Alex Garland has got a new film coming out in April of 2024. It’s entitled Civil War and it imagines a near future in which America slips into …. well, civil war. There’s a lot of talented people in the cast, like Kirsten Dusnt and Jesse Plemons.
That said, the trailer dropped today and it almost feels like a parody of these type of films. I almost laughed out loud when I heard the newscaster say “three-term president” because it just felt like such an awkward piece of exposition.
Anyway, I could be wrong and there are a lot of talented people involved with this film. So, here’s the trailer:
Dune: Part Two was originally supposed to be out already. It was scheduled for an October 20th release but the date was pushed back several times, first to November and then, as a result of the SAG-AFTRA strike, to March of 2024. Despite all the online angst over it being moved back, it’s perhaps the best thing that could have happened to this film as it now seems to be the 2024 film that everyone is anticipating the most.
(Certainly, it’s the most anticipated March release that I can ever remember.)
Here’s the just-released third trailer for Dune: Part Two!
Handling the Undead may be a zombie film but, as it’s based on a novel from the author of Let The RightOne In, I think it is safe to assume that it will hardly tell a standard story of the undead.
The film will be premiering at Sundance in January. Watch the trailer below!
In this film from 1977, the great Piper Laurie plays Ruby, a former gun moll who owns her own haunted drive-in theater!
2. Drive-In Massacre (1976)
Ruby was not the only 70s horror film to be sent at a drive-in. There was also 1976’s Drive-In Massacre!
3. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)
And what were they all watching at the drive-in? Depending on the year, they could have very well have been watching the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre!
4. The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972)
Another drive-in of the 70s was this documentary about the search for the Fouke Monster.
5. The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976)
The Legend of Boggy Creek was such a hit that director Charles B. Pierce was able to follow up withThe Town That Dreaded Sundown.
6. The Evictors (1979)
The Town That Dreaded Sundown was a bit enough hit that Charles B. Pierce was able to follow it up with The Evictors.
Obviously, I had to start things off with the trailer for the original Friday the 13th! This trailer puts a lot of emphasis on Marcie’s dream about the rain turning into blood. I have to say that is a pretty intense dream.
2. The Burning (1981)
After Friday the 13th, there were many movies about the dangers of going to camp. The Burning is one of the best-remembered. Seriously, I’m so glad that I never did the camp thing.
3. Madman (1982)
I reviewed Madman earlier this month but I’m going to share the trailer again. Seriously, camping is bad but yelling, “Madman Marz!” is apparently even worse.
4. Sleepaway Camp (1983)
As bad as those camps are, they’re a picnic compared to Sleepaway Camp!
5. Without Warning (1980)
Of course, it’s not just camps that are dangerous. As the trailer for Without Warning shows, you never know what you might run into in the woods.
Here’s the trailer for William Friedkin’s final film, an adaptation of The Caine Mutiny Court Martial Trailer. The film will be premiering on Showtime in October and I look forward to seeing Kiefer Sutherland in the role of Lt. Commander Queeg.
To be honest, I’m not really sure that we need a film version of the prequel to The Hunger Games. The first two HungerGames adaptations were excellent but the two-part conclusion was a bit of a bore. The only thing that really set The Hunger Games apart from any of the other YA dystopian adaptations out there was the presence of actors like Jennifer Lawrence, Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman and none of them are going to be in the prequel.
That said, everything gets a prequel nowadays and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is due to be released in November of this year. So, for all of you who were like, “I wish I knew more about President Snow’s youth,” have at it!
