Gia Coppola is the director of Pamela Anderson’s Golden Globe-nominated drama about a seasoned showgirl whose show comes to an abrupt end after 30 years.

Additional key cast includes Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, Dave Bautista and Jamie Lee Curtis.

When I think of Pamela Anderson, Baywatch and Borat (2006) are the entertaining releases that immediately come to mind. I’m excited to see her flourish in a dramatic role, especially since this trailer makes the movie look like quite the emotional journey and revelation.

Are you ready for Anderson’s next phase/era of iconic? Because it looks like it’s here?

Billie Lourd, John Clofine, Linda Montana, Giovani L. DiCandilo and Melina Blitz also star.

The Last Showgirl Release Dates: January 10th, 2025 (US), February 28th, 2025…

THE KILLER’S GAME (2024): New Trailer From Sofia Boutella, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Scott Adkins, Ben Kingsley…

8 Comments

Dave Bautista is Joe Flood, a veteran assassin in new action/comedy/thriller, The Killer’s Game.

Directed by J.J. Perry; also starring Sofia Boutella, Pom Klementieff, Scott Adkins and Ben Kingsley; Flood is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and authorises a kill on himself…

I last saw the ‘brain scan switch‘ plot device in The Last Holiday (2006), a rather cheerful Christmas movie starring Queen Latifah and LL Cool J.

The real reason I’m drawn to this movie is the motorbike kick at 1:52 seconds into the trailer. Now I have to see what else is on offer fun action-wise. Also, knowing Boutella’s physical capabilities, I’m guessing she’s not just there to play the clueless girlfriend.

This one’s clearly ‘John Wick-flavoured,’ which I’m sure, is a good thing for many of us.

Terry Crews, Daniel Bernhardt, Antonia Desplat, Marko Zaror, Drew McIntyre, Lucy Cork, George Somner, Raffaello Degruttola, Scott Alexander Young and József Kovalik Jr. also star.

The Killer’s Game Release Dates: September 13th, 2024 (US)…

KNOCK AT THE CABIN (2023): New Trailer From M. Night Shyamalan, Starring Dave Bautista, Kristen Cui, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Jonathan Groff…

Dave Bautista, Kristen Cui, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge and Nikki Amuka-Bird are the cast of Knock at the Cabin, the latest horror/mystery/thriller from M. Night Shyamalan.

At the centre of the story of a young family taken hostage by armed strangers. Strangers who demand the family decide what they believe, in order to make an unthinkable decision.

I’ve seen this trailer approximately four times now, and the one thing that has stayed consistent regarding my thoughts is how wonderful a young actor Kristen Cui, the young girl in this movie, seems to be.

Another thing that hasn’t changed with each viewing is how promising it all seems. That is until towards the end when Bautista’s character says: ‘…Your family has been chosen to make a horrible decision. If you fail to choose, the world will end.’

After all that engaging mystery, I’m sad to say that I find myself disappointed by this seemingly simplistic and somewhat underwhelming turn of events. I’m very likely judging far too soon, of course, and I may just have tired of the ‘or the world will end.’ However, there is Shyamalan’s reputation, which most certainly precedes him.

What are your feelings about this trailer? Is it time for a good Shyamalan movie? Fingers crossed that I’m way off – and Knock at the Cabin turns out to be great.

Abby Quinn, Jerry Lobrow, William Ragsdale, Clare Louise Frost, Kat Murphy, Debbie Lay, Satomi Hofmann, McKenna Kerrigan, Mike Wilson, Michael J. Kraycik, Scott Vogel and Brian Foreman also star.

Knock at the Cabin Release Dates: February 3rd, 2023 (US & UK)…

The new trailer for Zack Snyder’s zombie outbreak in Las Vegas movie, Army of the Dead has landed, and it’s looking like a lot of fun.

Omari Hardwick, Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell and Garret Dillahunt are among the key cast.

I find myself far more excited than I expected to be. Unsurprising with such a good trailer edit and well-chosen music. I particularly can’t wait to see the ways that this new age of zombies are smarter, faster, etc.

I’m also very interested in the unexpected cast. There are so many faces I hadn’t pictured together, but suddenly it all seems to make sense. 

Lastly, doesn’t it feel just right that the movie title is about the smart zombies and not the other guys? I guess it’s about time we had a smart, extra capable bunch of the undead. Full disclosure, I’m speaking as someone whose experience of zombie films largely starts and ends with the rather impressive Train to Busan (2016). So, feel free to correct me. 

Ana de la Reguera, Tig Notaro, Nora Arnezeder, Lora Martinez-Cunningham, Samantha Win, Matthias Schweighöfer, Lyon Beckwith, Theo Rossi, Michael Cassidy and Raúl Castillo also star.

Army of the Dead Release Dates: May 21st, 2021 (US)…

Directed and co-written by Zack Snyder; Army of the Dead is a new action/crime/horror about a zombie outbreak in Las Vegas.

In the midst of it all, a group of mercenaries decide to take the ultimate gamble and venture into the quarantine zone to pull off the greatest heist ever attempted.

Garret Dillahunt, Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell and Ana de la Reguera star.

I love the synopsis of the movie, in part because it brings to mind good memories of watching very fun heist movie, Ocean’s Eleven (2001). And my favourite zombie film, Train to Busan (2016).

Hopefully this will be the perfect mix of both genres.

Nora Arnezeder, Samantha Win, Matthias Schweighöfer, Lyon Beckwith, Theo Rossi, Tig Notaro, Michael Cassidy, Omari Hardwick, Lora Martinez-Cunningham and Raúl Castillo also star.
