The official trailer for director Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, has arrived.

Bring on the music and all the great performances. I’m also ready for all the strong history-making characters here.

Lastly, I look forward to watching Michael follow his heart to bring to light all his musical ideas.

May the prosthetics only prove to be minimally distracting, if at all.

Miles Teller, Jaafar Jackson, Nia Long, Colman Domingo, Kat Graham, Larenz Tate, Juliano Krue Valdi, Tony von Halle, Derek Luke, Jessica Sula, Hank Northrop, Joe Gillette, Laura Harrier, Nathaniel Logan McIntyre and Joseph David-Jones also star.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is the director of The Bride! A new Frankenstein movie set in 1930s Chicago. One in which Frankenstein gets a companion after asking Dr Euphronius for help.

Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley and Jake Gyllenhaal are among the key cast.

Sure, I’m a little concerned that ‘musical’ is part of the categorisation, but I’ll let that go for now, because the cast is super and this looks like it could be good, and not too scary.

It appears that sweet vengeance is on the cards for Frankenstein and his Bride, and I’m not mad about it.

Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Julianne Hough, John Magaro, Jeannie Berlin, Louis Cancelmi, Matthew Maher, Sofía Ko and Ben Elaine Apruzzese also star.

The Bride! release Dates: March 6th, (US & UK)…

WICKED – FOR GOOD (2025): New Trailer From Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Peter Dinklage, Ariana Grande…

The second part of Wicked, the hit Broadway musical turned movie, directed by Jon M Chu, has a trailer for the second instalment.

Starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and Peter Dinklage, Wicked – For Good is about Elphaba (Erivo), the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda (Grande), the Good Witch of the North.

It’s true, I still haven’t seen Wicked, on film or stage. One day I might. However, right now, my aversion to musicals keeps me enjoying the works of my favourites, Bailey, Erivo, and Grande via other ‘non-musical movie’ avenues.

As always, this new film makes me happy for the super fans, especially since I’ve only heard great things about the first instalment.

Have you seen Wicked (2024)?

Jeff Goldblum, Llyrio Boateng, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Bronwyn James, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Adam James, Erin Battle and Joel Stern also star.

Wicked – For Good Release Dates: November 21st 2025 (US & UK)…

BETTER MAN (2024): New Trailer Starring Robbie Williams, Jonno Davies, Steve Pemberton, Kate Mulvany…

4 Comments

Directed by Michael Gracey of The Greatest Showman (2017), something you didn’t anticipate and that looks refreshingly different is coming.

Starring Robbie Williams, Kate Mulvany, Jonno Davies and Steve Pemberton, Better Man is a musical/biography/docudrama about British popstar Robbie Williams.

Angels is my favourite of all of Williams’s songs. I also appreciate how unexpected this style of biography is. And it makes plenty of sense to me that the director of my favourite movie musical, as mentioned above, is part of the team behind Better Man’s refreshingly different execution.

With that said and the heart displayed in this trailer, I think we’re in for a good experience.

Is Robbie Williams an artist you think of fondly?

Alison Steadman, Frazer Hadfield, Damon Herriman, Raechelle Banno, Chris Gun, Asmara Feik, Rose Flanagan, Jake Simmance, Liam Head, Chase Vollenweider, Jesse Hyde and Anthony Hayes also star.

Better Man Release Dates: December 25th 2024 (US), December 26th, 2024 (UK)
