REMAIN (2026): New Trailer Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Phoebe Dynevor, Tracy Ifeachor…

14 Comments

Jake Gyllenhaal, Phoebe Dynevor and Tracy Ifeachor’s latest is drama/fantasy/romance/thriller, Remain, a collaboration between M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks.

Gyllenhaal plays a grieving man who heads to Cape Cod after leaving a psychiatric facility, only for a chance meeting to challenge his views about life and loss.

First of all, this trailer looks good. Second, Gyllenhaal’s character better get a happy ending; his depiction of pain is almost too real to keep looking at. Third, I’m apprehensive about getting too excited by M. Night Shyamalan trailers. However, Gyllenhaal’s and Sparks’s involvement give me much to stay hopeful about. So I will watch, and I will hope.

Before reading the synopsis, I knew right away that one of the characters had ceased to exist, in the traditional sense. May the story be worth it and the happenings not too traumatising.

I have a feeling you won’t be able to resist watching this either. Admit it at once!

Ashley Walters, Caleb Ruminer, Maria Dizzia, Hannah James, Julie Hagerty, Jay O. Sanders, Ashley Walters, Caleb Ruminer, Maria Dizzia, Hannah James, Julie Hagerty and Jay O. Sanders, also star.

EAST OF EDEN (2026): New Trailer Starring Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist, Ciarán Hinds…

6 Comments

Set in the farmlands of California’s Salinas Valley, the latest adaptation of John Steinbeck’s literary classic East of Eden has a good-looking new trailer.

Directed by Garth Davis and Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, the seven-part miniseries stars Florence Pugh, Mike Faist, Christopher Abbott and Ciarán Hinds, and tells the story of two families destined to reenact the fateful story of Cain and Abel.

Go, Florence, go!

This trailer and the promise of the finished series have me feeling like an audience member at a live theatre production starring Pugh. I’m excited that she seems to be the main focus of the story.

Also, it’s going to be great to hear Steinbeck’s classic words so perfectly spoken by this wonderful cast.

Martha Plimpton, Brad McMurray, Tandi Wright, Costa D’Angelo, Joseph Zada, Tracy Letts, Hoon Lee, Benedict Wall, Asher Whitehead, Vaughan Reilly, Gus Turner, Robert Morgan and Joe Anders also star.

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?

THE SOCIAL RECKONING (2026): New Trailer Starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Strong, Wunmi Mosaku, Jeremy Allen White…

8 Comments

The Social Reckoning, writer/director Aaron Sorkin’s sequel to the very impressive drama/biopic The Social Network, the one about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, finally has a second trailer.

With a key cast that includes Wunmi Mosaku, Jeremy Allen White, Mikey Madison, Jeremy Young, and Betty Gilpin, The Social Reckoning is the story of Frances Haugen, a young Facebook engineer, who blew the whistle on Facebook’s most guarded secrets.

‘…so the cars are just ploughing down the children!‘

Billy!

That’s just my excited response to Bill Burr, a great comic, leaning further into serious dramatic roles with increasing skill. I’m also looking forward to Mosaku’s role more than I expected. Suddenly, I’m hoping she’s in a good number of scenes.

Fingers crossed; we can expect great dialogue, pacing and performances. Are you suddenly more excited, too?

Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, Patrick Fischler, Gbenga Akinnagbe, Anna Lambe, Portia Doubleday, Nelson Franklin, Sierra Capri, Nathan Witte and Kelley Pereira also star.

The Social Reckoning Release Dates: October 9th, 2026 (US & UK)…

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)…
