SCARY MOVIE (2026): New Trailer Starring Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans, Sydney Park…

8 Comments

Directed by Michael Tiddes, Scary Movie is a parody/spoof comedy of the most popular horror films of recent years, a follow-up to Scary Movie (2000), and its four sequels.

Written by Craig Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Rick Alvarez, the key cast includes Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Marlon Wayans and Sydney Park.

This is probably the kind of scary film I can look forward to, since it leads with humour rather than horror. At least that’s what I hope, especially since I don’t remember much about the original Scary Movie films.

Hopefully, as an infrequent watcher of horror, I’ll still appreciate many, if not all the jokes.

Dave Sheridan, Damon Wayans Jr., Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Heidi Gardner, Cheri Oteri, Shawn Wayans, Anthony Anderson, Felissa Rose, Savannah Lee Nassif, Kim Wayans, Olivia Rose Keegan, and Cameron Scott Roberts also star.

Scary Movie Release Dates: June 5th, 2026 (UK); June 12th (US)…

IN THE GREY (2026): New Trailer Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Rosamund Pike, Jason Wong, Eiza González…

In the Grey stars Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal as elite operatives tasked with stealing back a billion-dollar fortune, resulting in a deadly game of strategy, deception and survival.

Rosamund Pike, Jason Wong and Eiza González are among the key cast.

Like every Guy Ritchie movie, this trailer too immediately piqued my interest, thanks to the rhythm, dialogue, and music.

When it comes to my favourite performances by American actors in Ritchie movies, my favourite is Matthew McConaughey in The Gentlemen (2020), then Brad Pitt in Snatch (2000), Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes (2009), then Jake Gyllenhaal in The Covenant (2023). Perhaps In the Grey will be a second entry for Gyllenhaal.

What’s your favourite performance by an American actor in a Guy Ritchie film?

Emmett J. Scanlan, Fisher Stevens, Kristofer Hivju, Kojo Attah Carlos Bardem, Darrell D’Silva, Christian Ochoa Lavernia, Karlos Klaumannsmoller, Cory Douglas Campbell and Mohammed Al Turki, Gonzalo Bouza also star.

Created by Tom King and Chris Mundy, new eight-part series, Lanterns, stars Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Nathan Fillion and Kelly Macdonald.

The story follows John Stewart (Pierre) and Hal Jordan (Chandler), two Lanterns, a.k.a., intergalactic cops, drawn into a dark, Earth-based mystery. One where they’re investigating a murder in the American heartland.

‘Promising‘, one might say.

I particularly like what happens from 1:29 in this trailer, and the music that kicks in around 1:42. Is it just me, or does it sound a lot like something from Black Panther? Especially toward the end of that trailer.

Before this, which sounds like a fun premise, all I really knew about Green Lantern, as a non–comic book reader, was that he’s a superhero Ryan Reynolds played back in 2011… much to the disappointment of many fans.

It’s still too early to say how this version will turn out, but I’m here for the unexpected, chemistry-filled pairing of Pierre and Chandler.

Lastly, long-standing Green Lantern fan or not, how is this looking to you?

Jason Ritter, Nicole Ari Parker, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Sherman Augustus, Michael Ocampo, Ulrich Thomsen, Sherman Augustus, J. Alphonse Nicholson and Romeo Brown also star.

Lanterns Release Dates: August, 2026 (US & UK)…

THE BLUFF (2026): The Things I Liked…

2 Comments

As full of tropes as it may be, I found The Bluff, the latest Frank E. Flowers action-adventure from Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban, rather satisfying and entertaining.

Set in the 19th-century Caribbean, Chopra Jonas plays Ercell, a woman who fights to protect her family after her island is invaded by vicious buccaneers.

The story, Chopra’s action movie chops, the fun set pieces, the look and feel, plus Urban’s engaging villainy, made for zero regrets for me about the time spent.

There is one moment that didn’t quite have me locked in, when Urban’s Captain Connor delivers a speech to his crew after they witness the full extent of Ercell’s deliciously vengeful wrath, but it’s a minor blip.

I got exactly what I needed from The Bluff. You might too, if you don’t mind violent yet easy-viewing, fun revenge stories led by badass women.

Happy Film Loving,

WILD HORSE NINE (2026): New Trailer Starring Sam Rockwell, Parker Posey, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi…

John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell play 1970s CIA agents in new comedy/drama//thriller Wild Horse Nine.

Written/directed by Martin McDonagh of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), agents Chris (Malkovich) and Lee (Rockwell) face a trust-testing mission from Santiago to Easter Island, Chile.

One of the first things that occurred to me as this trailer played was how all the key actors have such unique energies and exciting screen presence, which should make this a fun and interesting experience.

The dialogue, humour, and 1970s outfits are also highlights I’m looking forward to.

I only wish I could start watching right now.
