THE FURTHER MIS-ADVENTURES OF CLIFF BOOTH (2026): New Trailer Starring Brad Pitt, Elizabeth Debicki, Timothy Olyphant…

14 Comments

Quentin Tarantino has written a new movie based on Cliff Booth, a.k.a, Brad Pitt’s much-loved character in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2029).

Starring Pitt, Timothy Olyphant and Elizabeth Debicki, the focus of director David Fincher’s film, The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth is Booth’s backstory in his new role as a Hollywood fixer.

I’m surprised to find myself less enthused by this than anticipated. I might even be less enthused than I was after the first trailer which was only 11 seconds long.

Maybe Cliff Booth in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was just the right amount for me. Fingers crossed that the next trailer will inspire more excitement because I really did enjoy Pitt’s character in Tarantino’s film.

What are your thoughts after seeing this trailer?

Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Carlos Mulia, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Holt McCallany, Peter Weller, Emily Alyn Lind, Corey Fogelmanis

The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth Release Dates: November 25th 2026 (US & UK)…

UNABOMBER (2026): New Trailer From Annabelle Wallis, Shailene Woodley, Russell Crowe, Jacob Tremblay…

9 Comments

Unabomber is director Janus Metz’s biography /crime/drama/thriller about Ted Kaczynski, the Harvard University student who became the Unabomber.

Starring Shailene Woodley, Russell Crowe, Jacob Tremblay and Annabelle Wallis, Woodley is the FBI agent whose pursuit of Ted years later reveals how his past shaped his deadly campaign between 1978 and 1995.

As someone who’s only ever heard the word ‘unabomber’ without knowing any details, I had to look up the origins of the term, which is that Ted Kaczynski’s first targets for his bombs were a UNiversity and an Airline, hence the code name provided by the FBI.

This is clearly a dark story, so I’m not especially excited to see it, even with all the great talent involved. However, Woodley’s character does have my attention. I’m not opposed to watching her work it all out and eventually outsmart him.

Are you curious about this one too?

PAPER TIGER (2026): New Trailer From Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Miles Teller…

Writer/director James Grey’s latest is Paper Tiger, a new crime/drama/thriller starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller.

Teller and Driver are brothers whose bond is tested when they’re caught up in a dangerous Russian mafia scheme while pursuing the American Dream.

Gritty feels like the right word for this one. Films like The Godfather (1972–1990) trilogy and The Drop (2014) came to mind as this trailer played.

I’m into the performances more than witnessing the trauma-inducing shenanigans the characters will inevitably endure.

I certainly have no idea how much screen time they’ll share, but it’s great to see Johansson and Driver in a film together again. Their first collaboration, of course, was the rather impressive Marriage Story (2020).

Has Paper Tiger drawn you in, too?

Roman Engel, Yves Garvy, Gavin Goudey, Cindy Katz, Victor Ptak, Raphael Corkhill, Joel Marsh Garland, Rosslyn Luke and Meredith Holzman also star.

Paper Tiger Release Dates: November 20th, 2026 (US)…

ANIMALS (2026): New Trailer From Ben Affleck, Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, Kerry Washington…

10 Comments

New action/crime/thriller, Animals, has Ben Affleck as Mark Kimball, a mayoral candidate whose son is kidnapped. Kimball and his wife (Kerry Washington) resort to extreme measures to pay the ransom, leading to their dark secrets being aired.

With Affleck also in the director’s seat, Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, Matt Gerald and Ray Fisher are among the key cast.

The story is intriguing enough, and hopefully everything works out for the Kimball family. But mostly, I just want to see Washington and Affleck performing together.

I’m also looking forward to the next trailer, which I imagine will feature dialogue, not that I missed it here, necessarily.

Luis Gerardo Méndez, Adriana Paz, Taylor Cooper, Chris Gann, Christopher Woodley, Robert Gatewood, Mark Kassen, George Todd McLachlan and David King also star.

Animals Release Dates: October 9th, 2026 (US & UK)…

VIOLENT NIGHT 2 (2026) New Trailer Starring David Harbour, Kristen Bell, Maggie Nicole Robertson…

12 Comments

David Harbour, Kristen Bell and Maggie Nicole Robertson’s new action/comedy/crime film is a sequel to Violent Night (2022) one of my favourite ever Christmas movies.

Directed by Tommy Wirkola, Violent Night 2, has Santa Claus cut off from the North Pole and trapped dishing out violent justice somewhere entirely unexpected.

May this be as delightful and as satisfying as the first movie. This trailer has me feeling very positive. Especially with a brand new one liner to follow 2023’s ‘It’s time for some Season’s seatings.‘

Is Violent Night my favourite of David Harbour’s work? Honestly,I think so.

Plus, it’s great that Bell is in this. I’m excited to see what her character adds to the fun.

Joe Pantoliano, Daniela Melchior, Jared Harris, Ashton Cressman, Andrew Bachelor, David Lawrence Brown, David MacInnis, Maxwell Friedman, Samuel Clark and Alec Carlos also star.

Violent Night 2 Release Dates: December 4th, 2026 (US & UK)…
